The poet who shaped a filmmaker: Vishal Bhardwaj recalls a lifetime of friendship with Bashir Badr
New Delhi, May 30: Years later, when dementia had erased much of his memory, Bashir Badr would still react to Vishal Bhardwaj's name, the filmmaker said, recalling the formative bond he shared with the great Urdu poet from the age of 19. Badr was a rising star on the literary scene and Bhardwaj just a student who had fallen in love with the poet's verses. Such was the impact of Badrs poetry that he still remembers the first couplet that he heard all those years ago: Yeh ek ped hai, aa is se mil ke ro le hum, yahan se tere mere raaste badalate hain. The poet passed away on Thursday at the age of 91, almost a decade after he withdrew from public performances due to the onset of dementia. Whenever I called his home to check on him, his son Tayeb and Rahat apa (Badrs wife) would tell me that he still reacts to my name. I remember, we cried so much when we got to know he had dementia. In 2010, he had stopped talking for days and one day I had forgotten a couplet. I said, Mera dimag bhi dhadakata hai mere dil ki tarah' and asked him, 'Doc sahab, I dont remember the next line and he suddenly added, 'Mita diye hain faasle sab mohabbat ne'. We were all surprised. So, sometimes he would have these flashes of memory, Bhardwaj told PTI in an interview. Over the years, the filmmaker has honoured Badr through his work whether by including the poet's name and poetry in Dedh Ishqiya or by using his writing for composing music in films such as Betaabi and Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar, projects from the early years of his career. Bhardwaj has independently composed and released many of Badr's ghazals, most recently Main Ghana Andhera Hoon. Next month, he will release another composition from the poet, Nariyal ke Darakhton ki Pagal Hawa. The track of poetry in my life is the strongest part of my personality, my creativity. My music is because of my poetry. My films are because of my poetry. My father was also a poet. And I consider Bashir Badr and Gulzar as my other parental figures. They have shaped me. I am so fortunate to have had that influence in my life. Looking back at their friendship, Bhardwaj said it all began in Meerut, where Badr used to live and teach while the director was still a student. Badrs daughter and Bhardwajs sister were classmates. He asked his sister to take him to meet Saba (Badrs daughter) who then lent him Badr's book. The filmmaker said he spent the night copying the verses in his diary. It was a time when names like Mehdi Hasan, Ghulam Ali, Jagjit Singh and Chitra, and Pankaj Udhaas had started brewing this tornado of Urdu poetry and ghazal and the youth was obsessed with poetry. I think this was the most beautiful youth period of India. Bhardwaj eventually started to frequent the poet's house. At the time, my memory was really sharp... I could easily memorise poems. I started meeting doc sahab every weekend. He used to read to me his latest poems. Then, the very unfortunate incident happened, his house was burnt down (in 1987). Most of his latest work was burnt along with the house. We are such a bad race as people that we burn poets houses. Badr also lost his first wife at around the same time and fell into depression. It was during this time that he wrote the oft quoted lines: Log toot jaate hain ek ghar banane mein, tum taras nahi khate bastiya jalane mein. The poet left Meerut and settled in Bhopal after that incident. Bhardwaj's sharp memory turned out to be a blessing. I could remember 90 per cent of what he had narrated to me. And he would ask me about those couplets and I would narrate him back. I helped him retrieve at least 90 per cent of the poetry, it was like a years work. While Badr was in Meerut and teaching at the college there, Bhardwaj said he and the poets friend Prem Bhandari formed an unlikely triad. Bhandari sahab was 60 years old. I was 19 years old and Bashir sahab must be 50 at that time. Only two people were allowed in the evening to be with him, me and Bhandari sahab. It was such a strange company because his children were not allowed. So, the three of us used to talk about poetry and life, what a triad this was. Bhardwaj went on to build his reputation in the film industry, first as a composer and later as a filmmaker who introduced a new idiom to Hindi cinema with his movies, including the three successful adaptations of Shakespeares tragedies Maqbool (Macbeth), Omkara (Othello) and later Haider: (Hamlet). But it was Badr who first recognised the composer in him. I was a musician in those days and he recognised that in me I had no interest in literature. I was a very bad student. I never thought that I would have anything to do with Shakespeare. But you opened any book by Gulzar and Bashir Badr and I could recite the whole page. I had such a memory about these two poets. And at the subconscious level, my grooming happened because of Bashir Badr. Even today, Bhardwaj said if he really forms a bond with someone, he gives Badr's book as a gift to that person. He bought over 50 copies of Badr's whole collection years ago. Whenever I love someone and I have to give them a gift, I give them a book of 'Culture Yaksan'. And if you received the book from me then that means you have my genuine love because when you read something so beautiful, you want to share the most beautiful part of your life. Even when life got busier for them, they wouldnt leave without meeting each other whenever they were in the city, whether Bhardwaj was visiting Meerut or Badr Delhi. When Bhardwaj shot Maqbool in Bhopal, Badr would come and stay with Bhardwaj's family. The filmmaker would also accompany the poet to mushairas across Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. When I came to Bombay, he used to come to my house and stay. We have so many memories of Gulzar sahib and him together, they would discuss poetry for hours. They both were big fans of each others work. Badr was most happy with the success Bhardwaj achieved in the Mumbai film industry. Even when I was struggling, he would tell everyone, 'I'm Bashir Badr and you have to trust me when I say that this boy is very talented.' He was a saint, a beautiful saint. All poets are saints, but Bashir Badr was a saint of some other level, the filmmaker said. Bhardwaj will attend a memorial for Badr on June 4 at Ravindra Bhawan in Bhopal.
Rahul Gandhi targets Modi government, says crores of students impacted due to exam-related troubles
New Delhi , May 30 : Following NTAs confirmation that Common University Entrance Test (CUET) faced disruptions, Congress leader lauched a blistering attack on the Centre over ongoing national examination controversies on Saturday, stating that despite claims of being a Vishwa Guru (world leader), the administration cant conduct even one exam. The National Testing Agency (NTA) earlier confirmed that CUET-UG 2026 faced disruptions at some centres on May 30 because of a technical glitch reported by its service provider, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Pointing to a string of national examinations, Gandhi emphasised the cumulative stress being forced onto the nations youth. NEET. CBSE. SSC. And today CUET. Four exams. One crore children. Not a single one conducted with honesty, he said on X. Escalating his attack, Gandhi claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completely ruined the entire education system. Warning the consequences from youth over recurring issues in national examinations, Gandhi said, Claims of world guru, but cant conduct even one exam in the country Modi ji has completely ruined the entire education system. The generation whose future you are destroying that same generation will hold you accountable. Notably, the controversy comes on the heels of the ongoing CBSE OSM discrepancies row and the NEET-UG paper leak case, both of which have sparked political debate and raised concerns over the conduct and integrity of major national examinations. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal also took a swipe at PM Modi over disruptions in the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) 2026. In a post on X, Kejriwal wrote, The country needs an educated PM, while responding to a post by AAP leader Atishi highlighting difficulties faced by students at an examination centre in Uttar Pradeshs Varanasi. In an official statement posted on X, the NTA said the delay mainly affected candidates scheduled for the examination and clarified that the issue had originated at the vendors end. M/s TCS has reported that a technical glitch at their end delayed the commencement of CUET (UG) 2026 at some centres on 30.05.2026. The issue has since been resolved, and the exam is being conducted with full compensatory time so that no candidate is disadvantaged, the agency said. The NTA revised the afternoon shift schedule, directing candidates to report from 2:30 pm onwards, while the examination commenced at 4 pm instead of the originally scheduled 3 pm. The agency also stated that morning-session candidates were being provided the full duration of the examination and would be allowed to leave only after completing their papers. NTA expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to students and parents and said measures were being taken to prevent similar disruptions in future examinations. Notably, the controversy comes on the heels of the ongoing CBSE OSM discrepancies row and the NEET-UG paper leak case, both of which have sparked political debate and raised concerns over the conduct and integrity of major national examinations.

IMD predicts below-normal monsoon rainfall for India in 2026
New Delhi, May 29:The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the country is likely to receive below-normal southwest monsoon rainfall during the June-September season this year, while warning of above-normal heatwave days in several states during June. In its updated long-range forecast issued by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, the IMD said the monsoon seasonal rainfall during 2026 is likely to be around 90 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA), with a model error margin of plus or minus 4 percent. The LPA for the monsoon season based on 1971-2020 data is 87 cm. According to the forecast, there is an 84 per cent probability of below-normal or deficient rainfall across the country during the monsoon season. The IMD said below-normal rainfall is most likely over most parts of the country, except some areas of northwest and northeast India, eastern parts of peninsular India and adjoining east-central regions, where normal to above-normal rainfall is expected. The weather agency warned that below-normal rainfall may create challenges for agriculture, drinking water supply, hydropower generation and ecosystem sustainability. It may also increase the risks of drought and heat stress in several regions. For June 2026, rainfall across the country is also expected to remain below normal at less than 92 percent of the Long Period Average. However, some parts of northwest and northeast India and several areas of south peninsular India are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall. The IMD further said above-normal heatwave days are expected during June over many parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh. Isolated regions of Maharashtra, Telangana, Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are also likely to witness more heatwave days than usual. However, Rajasthan and Jharkhand are expected to see below-normal heatwave days during the month. The Ministry of Earth Sciences said above-normal maximum and minimum temperatures are likely over most parts of the country during June. The IMD noted that neutral El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions over the equatorial Pacific are currently transitioning towards El Nino conditions, which are likely to develop during the southwest monsoon season. Neutral Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) conditions are expected to continue during the monsoon period. The weather office advised state governments and district administrations to take necessary preparedness measures to deal with possible heatwave conditions, including ensuring safe drinking water, operational cooling shelters and stronger health surveillance systems. The IMD also urged people to remain hydrated, avoid exposure during peak afternoon hours and take special care of vulnerable individuals, including children, elderly people and outdoor workers. The department said it will issue the forecast for July rainfall in the last week of June 2026.
