Dard 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.

Hum rahe na rahe, un logon ko saza milni chahiye.
Yeh 2020 hai, Insaaf ki misaal honi chahiye.
Court tumhara, neta tumhara, thana tumhara
Magar kanoon ko bhi to gunjaaish honi chahiye.
Izzat se zindagi basar karne ki
humein bhi to ijaazat honi chahiye..

Kaanta na hota to phool ki hifaazat na hoti,
andhera na hota to roshni ki zaroorat na hoti,
agar mil jaati har khushi duniya mein..
to dil ki mulaqaat dard se na hoti.

Bukkaan wich nahi paani rehnde,
jadon baddal meeh varsaaunde ne,
aksar bhul jaaunde ne oh,
jehre bahuta pyaar jataaunde ne.

Jab-jab unse milne ki umeed nazar aai,
mere pairon mein zanjeer nazar aai,
gir pade aansu aankho se,
har aansu mein teri tasveer nazar aai.

Sunte hai ki mill jaati hai har cheez duwa se,
ek roz tumhe mang ke dekhenge khuda se !
Tum samne baithe ho to hai kaif ki barish,
woh din bhi the jab aag barsti thi ghata se !
Aai dil tu unhe dekh kar kuchh aise tadppna,
aa jaye hashi unko jo baithe hai khapha se.
Duniya bhi mili hai gamme Duniya bhi mila hai,
woh kiyon nahi milla jise manga tha khuda se,
Jab kuchh na mila hath duwao ko utha kar,
fir hath uthane hi pade humko duwa se .....!

Socho ki paani se juda hokar
yeh machliyaan kyon tadap kar marr jaati hain..?
Na maaloom tha unko ki
nazdeekiyaan aadat aur
aadat aksar zindagi ban jaati hai..
