Awesome msg. Ek Sach Chupa Hota Hai :- Jab Koi Kisi Ko Kehta Hai Ki "Mazaak Tha Yaar". Ek Feeling Chupi Hoti Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Mujhe Koi Farq Nahi Padta". Ek Dard Chupa Hota Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Its Ok". Ek Zarurat Chupi Hoti Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Mujhe Akela Chhod Do". Ek Gehri Baat Chupi Hoti Hai :- Jab Koi Kehta Hai "Pata Nahi". Ek Samundar Chupa Hota Hai Baato Ka :- Jab Koi "Khamosh Rehta Hai"..... Isi liye ek Open Heart Surgery unit k baahar likha huwa tha k...."Agar Dil Khol Lete Apne Yaaro Ke Saath,To Aaj Kholna Na Padta Auozaro K Saath".
