Here is a simple explanation and is written in easy to understand mode.
One cannot make this simpler. Now you know how the economic crisis happened
EXPLAINED…
{ IN SIMPLE ,THE DESI WAY }
Khaja Bhai is the proprietor of a Nehari Shop in Hyderabad .
Sales are low and, in order to increase them, he comes up with a plan to allow his customers to eat now and pay later.
He keeps track of the meals consumed on a ledger.
Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers flock to Khaja Bhai’s Hotel.
Khaja Bhai’s suppliers are delighted and are very willing to sell more and more raw materials for the meals he prepares.
Khaja Bhai shows them his ledger of receivables and they extend him credit.
A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and gives
Khaja Bhai a credit line and then increases his borrowing limit.
Taking advantage of his customers’ freedom from immediate payment constraints, Khaja jacks up the prices of his Nehari, Kulche, Jabde, Paaya and Zabaan.
Customers don’t mind as they are not required to pay on the spot anyway.
Sales volume increases massively, Banks and suppliers lend more;
Khaja Bhai opens more outlets.
He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the customers as collateral.
At the bank’s corporate headquarters, expert bankers recognize Khaja’s
customer loans as assets and transform these into BONDS.
These negotiable instruments are given exotic names such as
JABDA BOND,
PAAYA BOND,
ZABAAN BOND
&
KULCHA BOND.
These securities are then listed on the Stock Exchange and traded on markets worldwide.
No one really understands what the names mean and how the securities are guaranteed, but, nevertheless, as their prices continuously climb, the securities become top-selling items.
One day, although the prices are still climbing, a credit risk manager of the bank decides that the time has come to demand payment of one of the debts incurred by Khaja Bhai.
Khaja in turn asks his clients to pay up.
One by one they refuse; the clients cannot pay back the debts.
Khaja Bhai refuses to serve them any more.
The clients stop coming. Khaja is really screwed now.
He cannot fulfill his loan obligations and therefore claims bankruptcy.
All Bonds drop in price by between 80 to 95%.
The suppliers of Khaja, having granted generous payment due dates and having invested in the securities are faced with similar problems.
The Meat Supplier defaults on payment to the Cattle Supplier and claims bankruptcy.
The Kulche Ka Aata supplier is taken over by a competitor;
Khaja lays off the cook and staff.
Bankruptcies soar, unemployment mushrooms.
The bank that lent the money in the first place is set to collapse.
It is later saved by the Government following dramatic round-the-clock consultations by leaders from the governing political parties with Khaja Bhai commuting back and forth in his Executive Jet and Mercedes 500SEL, brokering the deal.
The funds required to save the economic collapse are obtained by a tax levied on the common citizens,
Most Of Whom, Do Not Eat
No Nehari,
No Zabaan,
No Sirey,
No Paya…!!!
GOLMAAL KI JAI HO…!!!

The Guinness record holder for the longest running play, Adrak Ke Panje has had over 10,000 shows in more than 27 languages. Besides a mention in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1984 for the longest one-man show, this play has been seen by an estimated three crore people, staged in 60 countries around the globe, 25 cities in USA and 65 cities and towns in India. This has been the first play in the country to be computerised and translated into 27 foreign languages. What’s more, this one-man show has run parallel to Dustin Hoffman’s in New York and Khan’s autographs have appeared in the Washington auditorium along with Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra.
Hyderabad: The one-man show has travelled to over 60 countries in a span of 35 years. But after all these awe-inspiring statistics, Adrak Ke Panje and its creator Babban Khan have decided to ring down the curtains on the play.
Before Adrak Ke Panje happened, Babban was a normal man on the street trying to eke out an existence for himself and his siblings. Adrak Ke Panje got written under the streetlights of Hyderabad in Agapura. In fact his life almost reads like a film story: Here was a man with no money who writes a comedy under the streetlights and then pawns his mother’s mangalsutra to rent a hall and put up the play.On September 22, 1965, Adrak Ke Panje was staged for the first time. It was a massive flop,but a good samaritan came backstage later and gave him Rs 500 to continue with the show. The play was a resounding success and won accolades from all.
The story of Adrak is borne out of the story of Babban. His parents were unaware of family planning. The result was that three brothers and four sisters died due to malnutrition and lack of proper medical care. In fact, Babban’s parents refused to name him till he was 10 just in case he died too!. Written way back in 1965, Adrak is based on the theme of family planning. It is in the form of a one-man piece enacted by Babban himself. What makes the play popular was the comic note which transcends all barriers of time and place.
He had to call it day while Adrak was at the peak of its popularity.Incidentally, Adrak had pipped Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap and Chorusline in the race for the longest running play. Both plays shut down after 7,000-8,000 shows.
Currently, the 58-year-old Babban is working on another script and is planning a sequel to Adrak Ke Panje. The theme of Adrak Ke Panje 2 will be peace, one of the most pressing needs of the hour. Apparently, novelist Frederick Forsythe watched a show of Adrak in China and encouraged him to write a sequel.
