..ये मेरा प्यार कैसा!!
Presented by ExpresS waY at 9:35 AM 0 commentsA Touching Question
Presented by ExpresS waY at 4:12 AM 0 commentsIt was Saturday evening of January, when I lighted my cigarette and taken first puff on roadside. A little kid in half T-shirt came in front of me and said “Bhaiya-Bhaiya 2 rupayee de do..Bhukh lagi hai.” (Give me Rs.2, I am hungry.)
I ignored him and took out my mobile to check messages. Again same words came from him.
This time I looked on him carefully. He had a polythene bag on his head to protect from chilly wind. Even in half pant he was standing firmly. With his gesture I felt a cold wave inside me and thought “Ise thand nai lagti kya? (Doesn’t he feel cold?)”.
He was watching right straight in my eyes. I felt, with his two bright eyes he was seeking only Rs. 2 from me.
I asked “Kya karoge 2 rupaye ka? (What you will do with Rs.2?)”.
He said “Bhukh lagi hai.” (I am hungry)
I thought what he can buy with Rs.2…..Nothing.
I asked “Padhai karta hai? “ (Do you Study?)
He nodded his head and said “nai…padh ke kya karenge?” (No, what to do with study).
This time I replied him like a gentleman “Bacche padhoge toh, bada aadmi banoge. Khudd se kamaoge aur khaoge aur.. .(When you will study, you will be rich,gentleman and dependable and…)”
Little kid stopped me in mid and said “wo toh mai abhi bhi karta hun. khudd hi kamata hun, khud hi khata hun.”
I smiled and said “Tab toh tum bhi bada aadmi ho gaye dost.” (Then you are too a rich and gentleman.)
This time he was more serious than me and said “nai bhaiya, Bada Aadmi toh mai abhi bhi nai hun. Bada aadmi tab hota jab khud kamata, khud khata aur jarurat padne par dusaron ko bhi khilata.” (No, I am not a rich and gentleman. If I would be then dependable not only for me but for others too..)
I was speechless.
I didn’t say anything else to him. I just gave whatever in my left jacket.
He was walking far in dark. Now, I too was not feeling cold anymore.
Whole night one question was haunting me “Really I am an educated and gentleman (Bada Aadmi)?”
“Apne liye toh sab jite hai….Kabhi dusaron ke liye ji kar dekho”
“Everyone lives for themselves… try to live for others”
3+2+1+1+1= Rs.8 (2 cups of tea)
Presented by ExpresS waY at 2:13 PM 5 commentsBut real problem was we were empty with over wallets too (Don't surprise it's the common case at the end of any semester).Others friend were sleeping so we were not able to borrow it. now real hunt begins to find out Rs. 8 so that we can manage 2 cup of tea.
I was having Rs.2 in my drawer and my friend came with Rs.1, total 3. We looked on each other and smiled.."wow what a great start for hunt". My room-mate was sleeping, I searched his bookshelf and found Rs.2 coin under statue of GOD. Just picked it up and said "thank you Bhagwaanji...and sorry Golccha (room-mate).."
Now we were having Rs.5... not so Bad. It was turn for prakhar to search out. He said, come once i had lost Rs.1 below my bed. we rush to his room and shifted the bed beside.. and words came from me"ohh God.. kitne saalon se jhaadu nai lagai tune"(from how many days you didn't cleaned it up here ). After 5 minutes finally we managed to find that golden coin...really it was like gold rush in a desert of dust.
Now we need Rs.2 more to finish our hunt. now prakhar tolds me to go four floor up..there you can get something..(After night out we were having red eyes.. even out of energy to move one step..but it was the Tea.. boosted us to rush 4 floors up).We moved to friend's room, it was not locked (Most of boys sleep without locking from inside ). We try to wake him up..but failed. Searched out his table and found Rs.1 coin over there.
It was 6:30 almost and we were eager to get tea. so left for tea-shop by saying "Yaar raaste mein 1 rs. toh mil hi jaayega..ab kahaan dhundhen..?(will find rs.1 in way with grace of God..move on).
But like our luck...found same empty way..found nothing. Ordered 2 cup of Tea. and when it was in our hand we were feeling like got A+ in subject without attending any lecture. Finally when it was time to pay, we given sharmaji(shopkeeper) only Rs.7 and said "Sharmaji ek rupayee shaam ko le lena..ATM chal nai reha tha.(will give Rs.1 in evening...ATM machine was not working)"
And finally it was 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1= Rs. 8 experience of life time..
Two cup tea..
humne pii..
aisa laga ..jaise,
Duniya jeet li !!!
