Langar Gapp [Hindi]

By Dr Major Himanshu

The book Langar gapp is a collection of short stories scattered and spread over common lives and some uncommon too. The wide spectrum stories come from common families, rural or urban, streets, schools, hospitals, courts, army, policies, varied regions, religions, times, technologies, power corridors etc.society provides the yarn, the writer weaves and returns. Langar Gapp is a very common term in the Fauji jargon .Worldwide army is known for stiff discipline and Langar in army is the only institution and space where discipline stiffened soldiers unwind . it's the Samba of the combat stressed . it ensures free expression and insures innocent joy. In sikh tradition the langer feeds one and anyone without discrimination .Langar not merely fills the belly it nourishes the soul as well. Langar Gapp is casual gossip, mostly prattling .it can be footle bragging but never it is pernicious rumour peddling . At worst it is cribbing and tattletaling but that to for sure is the drug of choice for combat stress catharsis.

Inarguably 'gupshup ', 'gapp baazi' or gossip is an international tradition and a national addiction . perhaps that is where from the art of story telling and civilizations evolved . Stories defined the divine and attend divinity too. If heavy discussions and deliberations are causing divisions, discords in society and turning people to glibs then a light Langar Gapp is not just priceless but a wise strategy as well .
