५ रुपैय्यों की शेंग दानों की पोटली - 416

  

                               ५ रुपये के शेंग दाने 




 हमारी मुलाकात पेहली बार राशन की दूकान में हुवी थी , हम दोनों सामान लेने आये थे 


हमारी दूसरी मुलाक़ात ऐक मंदिर में हुवी थी , हम दोनो भगवान्  के दर्शन के लिये उत्सुक थे 


तीसरी बार हमारी मुलाक़ात ऐक पुस्तकालय में हुवी , वो साहित्य के पुस्तक को ढून्ढ रही थी और मै गणित का 


इसी प्रकार कभी बैंक , कभी सब्जी की दूकान , कभी बस स्टॉप में हमारी मुलाक़ात अक्सर होने लगी 


हम दोनों की इस पेहचान को उभरते देख कर हम खुद आश्चर्य में पड गये 


दोनों को शादी की बात छेड़ने से ऐक प्रकार की दर मेहसूस करने लगे 


पहले तुम , पहले तुम की इंतज़ार में ६ महीने बीत गये 


६ महीने बाद , अपनी पूरी साहस जुटाकर मैने हम दोनों की शादी की बात शुरू करी 


उसने मुझ  से मेरे काम के बारे में पूछा , मैंने बताया की मैं नौकरी ढून्ढ रहा हूँ और फिलहाल बेकार हूँ 


उसका अगला सवाल था की घर में और कितने लोग रेह्ते हैं 

मैंने बताया की सिर्फ मेरा बड़ा भाई हमारे साथ रेहता है , लेकिन वो भी अकेला है और शादी के इंतज़ार में है 


उसने कहा , उसे सोच कर बताने में कुछ समय लगेंगे और मुझे कम से कम दो महीने रुकना पडेगा 


आज दो महीने बीत गये हैं , इस कहानी को मै पूरा नहीं कर सकता हूँ क्योंकि

        IT IS BY FAR THE CHEAPEST HERE  AS ALL YOU FRIENDS MAY BE AWARE , BY A GOOD FORTUNE OF THE GRACE OF THE  GOOD LORD ABOVE  , I HAVE TRAVELLED FAR AND WIDE ACROSS THE GLOBE AND HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL BY TRAIN IN MANY OF THESE COUNTRIES . SITTING HERE IN CANADA I CAME ACROSS A BOARD WHICH WAS POSTED IN ANOTHER GROUP WHICH SHOWED THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE DETAILS EX AMBAS TO VARIOUS PLACES . WE , WHICH INCLUDES ME , YOURS TRULY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON LIKE TO CRITICIZE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS BE IT FROM THE STATE OR CENTRAL AUSPICES FOR NO LOGICAL REASON AND DO A GREAT DISSERVICE TO OUR NATION BY PAINTING IT IN ALL THE WRONG COLOURS. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE FROM AMBASAMUDRAM TO KOVILPATTY . FOR THE 100 KM DISTANCE THE FARE ON THE INDIAN RAILWAYS IT  IS  Rs 25 OR 40 PAISE PER KILOMETER .              FORTY PAISE PER KILOMETER  WHEN YOU COMPARE THE SAME WITH THE TRAIN F...

NEW LOOK AMBAI RAILWAY STATION - 807

Image
          NEW LOOK AMBAI RAILWAY STATION  Right from my childhood days , the annual trip down South to RAVANASAMUDRAM,  my Native Village  from the then CALCUTTA or KHARAGPUR during the Summer Vacation has always been an amazing experience . This was more so for the Meter Gauge journey from Chennai Egmore to Tirunelveli First and then to RAVANASAMUDRAM by the Shencottah Passenger . The change over from the Electric to Steam Locomotive at Villupuram Junction Station was a much looked forward to event .  AMBASAMUDRAM Railway Station was a much awaited location as the Steam Locomotive billowing smoke with  the rumbling Sound of the Train as it crossed  the Tambarabarani River Bridge with the huge Iron Girders  was an unforgettable experience . The ARISI MURRUKKU was a much awaited treat at this station . The 130 Year old  Quaint Station  still retained some of its old ENGLISH traits . Being the Days of the Steam Locomoti...

REPOST : JOURNEY THAT CHANGED MY LIFE - 815

Image
     A JOURNEY THAT WENT ON TO                                           CHANGE MY LIFE  I must at the very outset post a disclaimer here .  The events which I am about to describe here are events  that took place some half a century back . My memory is not all that good , come to think of it , it never was . I shall however try and relate to things that happened in the 70 s to the present times based on my not so very good memory and  my  passable English . I never imagined that my decision to visit RAVANASAMUDRAM in early 1974 will bring about such far reaching changes in my life. I had passed out from SASMIRA , Worli , Mumbai with a Diploma in TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY . I had a job even before passing out and had  at WAYON GLASSTEX , A FIBERGLASSG weaving unit at Saki Naka in Mumbai for almost year and got a better job at THE HINDUSTAN M...
