The favorite comedian of masses died yesterday. Like many
others, I also thought it was just an act of fun and I'd soon find myself laughing at his newest gag. But it wasn't. Can’t believe he’s not coming back.
I grew up watching Flop Show on DD and its subsequent reruns on all the major
channels, and still loved it so much that I downloaded all its episodes. The enormous data meant I had to buy an additional hard disk, but Flop Show deserved it. I have quoted dialogues from the show on countless occasions, and still can't stop breaking into laughter at the simplicity (but intelligence) of this brilliant
human being who had the God-gifted talent to make everyone breezy.
Jaspal Bhatti gave the gift of clever comedy to the Indian cinema. No person has ever inspired such creativity or set such high
standards for this beautiful art. Our laughter originated from Jaspal Bhatti and
his spirit will forever be the foundation of humor.

I still hope this news of his dying is bogus, but if this is what the world-drama wants, let the soul depart into its new birth peacefully and continue to spread its cheerfulness. God bless his family.
