अन्ताक्षरी (Antakshari)

Antakshri is a most popular spoken parlor game played in भारत (India). Each contestant has to sing the first verse of a Hindi song that begins with the Hindi consonant on which the previous contestant's song selection ended.

 

आ चल के तुझे, मैं ले के चलूं, इक ऐसे गगन के तले
जहां ग़म भी न हो, आँसू भी न हो, बस प्यार ही प्यार पले

 

( Aa chal ke tujhe, main le ke chalun, ik aise gagan ke tale 

Jahan gam bhi na ho, aansu bhi na ho, bas pyar hi pyaar pale )

 

This song ends with ले (le), i.e. the consonant /l/ ल. The next contestant could sing -

लग जा गले कि फिर ये हसीन रात हो न हो
शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो

 

(Lag ja gale ki fir ye haseen raat ho na ho

shayad fir is janam mein mulakat ho na ho.

 

I hope we will enjoy to play this game, and will learn lots of Hindi words and sentences here. All the Best !

 

We usually start with this rhyme...

 

Baithe, baithe, kya karein? Karna hai kuch kaam,
Shuru karo antakshri, leke prabhu/rabb ka naam!

 

Start with M friends....
