The love story between the Gujarati and the share bazaar is age old, and this love story has inspired Jaykar Bhojak, Ahmedabad-based singer, to compose songs on the bulls and bears.

AHMEDABAD: His compositions could be the ultimate catharsis for all those who invest their lifetime savings in the share market, and lose.
The love story between the Gujarati and the share bazaar is age old, and this love story has inspired Jaykar Bhojak, an Ahmedabad-based singer, to compose songs on the bulls and bears.
Like love songs, which sometimes have messages like 'never fall in love', Bhojak's compositions too warn that the share market could be dangerous.
Bhojak has composed six full length songs on the share market for his album called 'Share market man locha hi locha'. All the songs are a comment on the general tendency to make a fast buck through the share market.

It brings out the unpredictability of the market and how it could make or break fortunes.
The album has other catchy numbers like 'tara share man bhul bhulaiya', 'hai share pardeshi dil le gaya' and 'sapana man bipasha basu'. Bhojak told TOI: "Share market has always been very close to Gujarati people, and currently the behaviour of the market is the hottest issue of debate. So we thought of cutting an album on this theme."
He will release audio cassettes in a week's time and also make video tracks in a couple of weeks.
Most of the lyrics are written by Bhojak who composed the songs on popular Bollywood tunes and sings them himself. One song 'lalach vadhi gai' is written by Champakbhai Vora. This was the song that inspired the album.
