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.

Har Ghar Jal or Har Ghar Bill?

Tanhaai na paaye koi mehfil ki raat ke baad,
judaai na paaye koi kisi ke saath ke baad,
na pade kisi ko aadat kisi ki itni..
ki har saans bhi aaye uski yaad ke baad.

Woh na aaye,
par unki yaad aa ke wafaa kar gayi..
Rahi tamanna har waqt milne ki,
mera aman-sukoon tabaah kar gayi..
Darr pe aahat suni bahut baar,
humne socha,
asar dua kar gayi..
Jab darwaazaa khola to koi na tha,
mazaak humaare saath hawaa kar gayi..

ਦੁੱਖੀ ਹੂਆ ਮਨ ਦੇਖ ਕਰ
ਲਾਲ ਕਿਲ੍ਹੇ ਤੇ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦਾ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਅਪਮਾਨ
ਦੇਸ਼ ਕਾ ਜੋ ਕਰੇ ਨੁਕਸਾਨ
ਕੌਣ ਕਹੇ ਉਸਕੋ ਕਿਸਾਨ
ਆਖਿਰ ਕਬ ਤਕ
ਕਰੇ ਸਰਕਾਰ ਸੰਯਮ ਸੇ ਕਾਮ ।।

Two things always in life to be remembered :
1. Don't take any decision when you are angry and
2. Don't make any promise when you are happy ..

Yun to sadmo mein bhi hans lete the hum,
phir aaj kyun bewajah rone lage hain hum,
barson se hatheli khaali rahi humaari,
phir aaj kyon lagta hai ki sab khone lage hain hum..

When my absence doesn't alter your life
then my presence has no meaning in it..
