Shayari 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.

Bade wasooq se duniya fareb deti hai
bade khaloos se hum aitbar karte hain..

कुछ इसलिए भी तुमसे मोहब्बत है 'फ़रज़'
मेरा तो कोई नही तेरा तो कोई हो
- अहमद फ़रज़

Woh din.. woh mehfilein.. woh shagufta mijaaz log
Mouj-e-Zamana le gai jaane kahan-kahan..

Main neend ka shaukeen toh nahi, lekin
kuch khwaab na dekhu toh guzaara nahi hota..

Bagaer jaane pehchane iqraar na kijiye
muskura kar dilo ko beqraar na kijiye
phool bhi de jaate hain zakham gehre kabhi kabhi
har phool par yun aetbar na kijiye..

Kya mazaa deti hai bijlee ki chamak mujhko Faraz
mujhse lipte hain mere naam se darne waale..
