Sad 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.

Friends in heart are the worst tenants.
They capture the heart ,
don't vacate and
if at all they leave,
they just break down the room they live.

Har ek jazbaat ko zubaan nahi milti,
har nek aarzoo ko dua nahi milti,
muskaan sajaaye rakho to duniya hai saath..
aansu ko to aankh mein bhi panaah nahi milti.

Neend aankhon se churaane waale..
neend tujhko bhi kaha aati hogi,
tadapte sirf hum hi nahi..
humaari yaad mein jaan tumhaari bhi jaati hogi.

ग़र जी नही सकता तो ज़ीने की तमन्ना छोड़ दे...
बहता - बहता जो टहर जाये वो दरिया छोड़ दे...
फूल था मैं, मुझको इक काँटा बनाकर रख दिया...
और अब इक काँटे से कहते हो कि चुबना छोड़ दे..

pyaar hai to aansuon ki bhi shaan hoti hai,
pyaar na ho to mehfil bhi shamshaan hoti hai,
saara khel to pyaar ka hai..
warna janaaza aur baaraat ek samaan hoti hai.

Kadam-kadam par bahaaron ne saath chhoda,
zaroorat padne par yaaron ne saath chhoda,
vaade kiye sitaaron ne saath dene ke,
lekin subha hone par sitaaron ne bhi saath chhoda.
