Gol Maalisms

I have the greatest respect for Amol Palekar. Understated, classy with the mobile face of the truly talented. The perfect foil to the über master of madness, Utpal Dutta. A medley of comic genius that had us collapsing helplessly into blithering idiots over and over again. A heartfelt tribute to the genius of the ensemble that gave us Gol Maal, even as the memory of सर's attempts to join Mrs. Srivastava on the swing makes me convulse with laughter; Delivered with gravity in an untimely fashion, the perfect riposte.... touché!

मुच नहीं तो कुछ नहीं
मैं उसे माफ़ नहीं, साफ़ कर दूँगा!
तुम पुलिस ऑफिसर नहीं, फूलिश ऑफिसर हो!
पास्कल, तुम हो रास्कल
ईईईईईईईश!!!!
