Attitude Quotes

A real story from Konni, Pathanamthitta, Kerala:
A BPL family got water connection. Everyone was happy . The tap never gave any water after initial testing but after 3-4 months a bill of Rs. 480/- came in June 2024. The poor widow lady went to the local water office to complain that she had received a water bill showing meter reading zero. She also told authorities that being a BPL family she was told that no water bill will come.

The officials told her that her connection is yet to be converted to BPL and thus she has to pay the bill. They told that the connection will be converted to BPL in January 2025. Further, they directed her to an engineer. The engineer confirmed that as the water tank is still under construction so no water has been supplied to her as reflected in zero meter reading.

The lady asked them that she wants to surrender the water connection to which the officials told her that then she needs to pay panchayat penalty for agreeing to a water connection and then surrendering it. They told her that they will temporarily disconnect the connection but in case the meter reading will reflect any usage then she will face water theft charges.

Tu saath na de mera chalna mujhe aata hai,
har aag se waakif hun jalna mujhe aata hai..

People laugh because I am different
and I laugh because they are all the same!
That's called Attitude ..

बादशाहों को सिखाया है क़लंदर होना
आप आसान समझते हैं मुनव्वर होना ..

Details:
क़लंदर - a wandering Sufi mystic
मुनव्वर - illuminated, brilliant

जाके कह दे कोई बारूद से , चिंगारी से
फूल खिले हैं इस बार पूरी तैयारी से
बादशाहों से फेंके सिक्के न लिए
हमने ख़ैरात भी माँगी है तो खुद्दारी से ..

Jaake keh de koi barood se, chingari se
phool khile hain is bar poori tayaari se
baadshahon se fainke sikke na liye
humne khairaat bhi maangi hai to khuddari se..

हवाई जहाज़ में बैठ कर देखिये
उड़ान केवल परिंदों का हक़ नहीं ..

Try an aeroplane
flying is not limited to birds..

हम भी दरिया हैं हमें अपना हुनर मालूम है,
जिस तरफ भी चल पड़ेंगे रास्ता हो जायेगा।
