Punjabi Language 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.

Manjiaan utte behnde see, kol-kol rehnde si,
Sofe Bed aa gaye, dooriaan vadha gaye,
Chattan te na sonde hunn, Batan vi na paunde hunn,
Vehre de vich rukhh hunde sann, sanjhe saade dukh hunde sann,
Boohe khulle rehnde see, Aaunde jaande behnde see,
Kaan vi banere kurlaunde si, prahune vi ghar aunde si,
Cycle hunda kol si, Fer vi mel jol see,
Russe nu manaunde see, rishte nibhounde see,
Paisa bhaavein ghatt si, par matthe te na vatt si,
Kandhaan kolle kachhe see, saak sambandhi pakke see,
Ajj Lagda hai bahut kuchh paya hai, par asal vich sab gavaya hai..
