i was travelling in a train from delhi to trichur which takes about 3 days roughly.with plenty of time to get bored of i decided to go to the magazine vendor on the platform of delhi station.after a prelimnary round of quick rummaging through the often seen novels and magazines i decided to call it off when i noticed a hindi magazine called "MADHUR KATHAEN" with almost B grade style coverpages and the worst kind of paper a magazine can be published on.i found an english version of the magazine too and its title was "CRIME AND DETECTIVE".for a person who hails from southindia this genre of literature is virtually unknown in south(though one may recall publications like HAI BENGALURU but believe me the diffrence between them is like biryani and plain rice).it contains true stroies of crime often but not always relating to sexual offences.after reading the magazine i couldnt put it into one category but it was somewhere between voyeurism and forensic sciences.i also read the english version of it,with one article that was published in the TANK MAGAZINE OF LONDON praising the original hindi version as well as the english one.soon i was engrossed in one of the stories where the protagonist commits a murder of his girlfriend and when the police arrest him,he was found to be sustaining on alcohol,cigarettes and a cassette of DIL JALTA HAI TO JALNE DE.here is the song on youtube.

dil jalata hai to jalane de
aansu na baha fariyaad na kar
dil jalata hai to jalane de
tu parada nasheen ka aashiq hai
yoon naam-e-vafa barabaad na kar
dil jalata hai to jalane de
maasoom najar ke teer chala
bismil ko bismil aur bana
ab sharm-o-haya ke parade mein
yoon chhup chhup ke bedaad na kar
dil jalata hai to jalane de
ham aas lagaaye baithe hain
tum vada karake bhool gaye
ya soorat aake dikha jaao
ya kaha do hamako yaad na kar
dil jalata hai, dil jalata hai, dil jalata hai
not only is the song perfectly woven in words but also gets the credit for launch of MUKESH in his music career with the film PEHLI NAZAR.
