News Item:
Australian captain Ricky Ponting took a dig at Harbhajan Singh, saying the off-spinner has been "unmasked" by his attack on teammate Sreesanth.
Harbhajan slapped Kings XI Punjab pacer Sreesanth after his team Mumbai Indians lost in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Harbhajan was banned from playing in the IPL this season and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is also conducting a separate inquiry into the incident.
Ponting insisted that he wants to look forward after the acrimonious series against India, but he remained incredulous at how Harbhajan got off with just a "slap on the wrist" even after being charged with racially abusing Andrew Symonds as a "monkey".
After allegedly making a racial slur against Symonds, Harbhajan was initially suspended for three Tests. But after India threatened to boycott its tour, the off-spinner was cleared and received a 50 per cent match-fee fine on a lesser charge.

Foreword:
OK, OK! I know this one is little belated. 'Bajji' has been in news for so long. So der-se-hi sahi, let us give his due acknowledgement! So here goes:
'Harbhajan apna hai awaara---', A parody!
Harbhajan apna hai awaara
Na jaane kisko maarega!
Umpire-ne bhulaya, Bahut samjhhaya
'Sledging buraa hai bhaiyya, Suno to kisika!'
Bahut bighda hai bechaara
Na jaane kisko maarega!
Jahan-pe lagi baazi, bus bhid gaya 'Bajji'
Cricket hai ya Kushti, yehi-na samjha!
Bada 'Danger' hai yeh chora,
Na jaane kisko maarega!
Jahan-bhi khele 'Bajji', Kiya hai maara-maari
Aussie-ko kaha 'Monkey', Apnon-ko rulaaya!
Jidhar pahunchaa, Udhar pangaa
Na jaane kisko maarega!
Lagaaya thappad bhaari
Bajaake bola 'Sorry'!
Chali lambi enquiry
Kya hoga uska!
Jurmaana bharke niklega
Na jaane kisko maarega!
Harbhajan apna hai awaara
Na jaane kisko maarega!
Let us also give a bit of consolation for Sreesanth:
'Kaun maara mere kaan-ke neeche'!
'Na Beta Na! Achhe bachhe rote nahin! Bajji Uncle-ne aapko wohi diya jo aap bahut logonse maangte the! Ab to hanso!
P.S: I have 'dared' to sing my parody in my own voice.
If you 'dare' to listen, you may do so!

Your parody as usual top class .Very apt song chosen and what lyrics you have made . The surprise was your voice .Well your voice is pretty good. Sing a song and ask Sablu to make the background in mouth organ and let us have a new remix!
Excellent . I really enjoyed
Thanks

Dear Shri S. V. Nathan,
Loved your parody! Actually by singing your own parody in your own voice you have added one more dimension to your parody blog. Wonderful! I think you used the right meter for all the words in the parody. Now I am sure singers can use this pardody to sing at entertainment programs and people will go ecstatic. But before anybody uses your parody they should pay you your royalty amount. Better yet, you can publish a parody song book. I am sure it will be a big hit. I am not kidding here. Just think about it. You have the talent here. I liked your voice. Even without any music in the background it sounded pretty good. I am sure Hemant-Da and Sachin-Da bhi heavan me aapki parody padhkar hanste hoge. Please keep up writing such parodies. I simply love it.
Regards,
Dr. Kamath

Dear Dr.Sundeep,
Bas kya?
Aapko aisi kya dushmani hai Hemant-Da ke saath?!!
Actually I got the inspiration to sing on sulekha from Sablu-ji and VSG Sir only. I had to muster up some courage also! But if you find it tolerable, I would attempt more. I would love to mix the background score from the original track, but frankly don't know how to go about it! Tips are welcome from Sablu-ji and others.
Aapne meri awaaz-par itna dhyan diya ki parody-ke baare-mein kuch kha nahin!
Anyway hope you found it enjoyable.
Regards,
Nathan.

Thank you Sablu-ji!
You are as always the first to comment!
Nice to know you enjoyed the parody!
As for my singing(!), maybe your PC revolted at the sound of my voice! Ha Ha!
I will definitely visit your latest song shortly.
Regards,
S.V.Nathan.

Dear Sir,
Hey, you sound almost like Hemantda! With a bit of background music, you could have joined the likes of Sablu and V S Gopal Sir! Both are rocking currently on Sulekha! You too appear to be a Chhupa rustam. Where was the singer hidden all these days?

It is your wonderful creation. Enjoyed all lines and laughed all the times while reading specially the following lines.

And also it was very nice consolation for Sreesanth from your side.
I salute you for your creation and rendition of song too. A man of multifarious talents
