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.

Sagar se dosti to kinaare bhi nahi karte
Aajkal to wafa humse hamare bhi nahi karte
Ek tumse thi ummeed,
So wo bhi aaj toot gayi…
Chup-chap beh jaate hain,
Kisi se sikayat mere aansu bechaare nahi karte…..

Tu nahi to zindagi mein kya reh jaayega,
dooor tak tanhaayion ka silsila reh jaayega,
har kadam par saath chalna yaar,
warna tera yeh dost tanha reh jaayega.

Jazbaat-e- ishq naakaam na hone denge,
dil ki duniya mein kabhi shaam na hone denge,
uss pyaar ka har ilzaam apne sar par le lenge..
par hum apni jaan ko badnaam na hone denge.

Aaj hum hain kal humaari yaadein hongi,
jab hum na honge tab humaari baatein hongi,
kabhi paltoge zindagi ke panne,
to shaayad aapki aankhon se bhi barsaatein hongi.

Husn waale khoob wafaaon ka sila dete hain,
har mode per ek nayaa zhakm dete hain,
ae dost is jahaan mein koi apna nahi,
jab aag lagti hai to patte bhi hawaa dete hain.

Kaha koi aisa mila jispe dil luta dete,
Har ek ne dhoka diya kis-kisko bhula dete,
Apne dil ka dard dil hi mein dabaye rakhe hain,
Karte bayan to mehfil ko rula dete….
