Raghukul reet sada chali aayee….

Recently set myself on typing a Government contract which was to be printed on a Stamp Paper. Being the unfortunate person who is educated, I found some grammatical as well as spelling errors in the format and corrected them accordingly.

One such grammatical error was “The contract is entered into the contractor”, which I changed to “The contract is entered into with the contractor”.

After submitting the same to the department my person was called back after a day and asked to make certain changes to the contract. He marked all the changes I had made, included the one stated above and also the spelling mistakes I had corrected. In short, they told him they want the contract word to word similar to the draft copy they had provided!!

Yesterday I went myself to the department and asked them how can they “enter” the contract “into” me…. needless to say they were more stumped than amused. They showed me contracts by other contractors who had followed their drafts word to word, mistake to mistake. We have been getting the same contract since years was their argument. After much discussion, with their other colleagues and seniors, it was finally agreed to accept my corrections.

Like one says….Raghukul reet sada chali aayee….what is there is there….no changes are made…things are just carried forward….

Baki sab Theek hai…

The following are the experiences I have heard from numerous people, they are not figment of my imagination…….

Poojya Pradhan Mantriji

Namaskar.

Main ek aam hindustani hoon jo roj mehnat karke apna ghar sambhal raha hoon. Pichle mahine hi ghar ke ek sadasya ka mediclaim reject ho gaya, aapke IRDA ke paas bhi gaya, lekin kuch fayada nahin huwa. Ab doston se aur rishtedaaron se paise udhar leke hospital ka bill chukaya hai. Woh roj mujhse paise maang rahe hai. Kuch logg to naaraj bhi ho gaye hai. Baaki sab thik hai.

Bijli company ne rate badha diya. Bill pe likhke beja hai, pehle paise bharo phir complain karo. Kal notice aya hai, disconnection ka. Baaki sab thik hai.

Paani roj subah subah mil jaata hai. Jaldi uthke bhar dete hai. Hamare sone ke liye jagah thi na, bus udhar 3 drum laga diye hai. unn 3 drums pe ek gadha lagake main so jaata hoon…badi chain ke neend aati hai. Baaki sab thik hai.

Kal mere padosi ke biwi ka mangalsutra chori ho gaya. Do saal se paise baccha baccha ke kharida tha. Police station waalon ne usko gussa karr diya…Pata nahin kitni choriya ho rahi hai….itna keemti mangalsutra pehenke nikalte kyon ho….Baaki sab theek hai…

Dhanda chal raha hai, kha peeke, Sales tax, building tax, Professional Tax, Income Tax, Service Tax bharne ke baad, aapke sarkaari karmachariyon ke visit ke paise bach jaate hai…. baaki sab theek hai….

Gaon jaane ke liye train ke ticket nikalwane gaya tha….bees minute line main khade rehne ke baad maalum pada ticket nahin hai….line se nikalne ke baad agent ne ticket karwake diye….thode paise jyaada lage…lekin ticket paanch minute main mil gaye…baaki sab theek hai.

Gaon main hamari jameen Dam ke raaste aa rahi hai karke sarkaar humein paise degi aise maalum pada, main sab kagaz leke gaya, lekin mujhe kahan gaya ke kagaz barabar nahin hai… phir gaon ke aadmi ne kuch paise udhar dilwake cheque dilwaya…jitne milne the uske aadhe to mil gaye….baaki sab theek hai….

Ek builder aaya hai, kehta hai paise leke yahaan se jaao, mujhe yahaan tower banana hai. Woh jitne paise de raha hai, utne main to mujhe yahaan kuch milne waala nahin hai…maine usse manna kiya…lekin ab roj gunde bejta hai….police main gaya tha…woh kehte … negotiate karke khatam karr do…hum baat karre kya….baaki sab theek hai…

Bus…aise hi aapke likhne ka mann kiya…Baki sab Theek Hai!!

Burn like the Sun

I work my ass off but nobody appreciates me….

How many times has one heard this..or even said this about self…One does maximum for office, for family but no appreciation. Just like the sun…its comes out daily…helps in plant growth…helps keep humans alive…but how many time has one heard a word of appreciation for the Sun. There are numerous poetries and praises of the moon.

Yet it comes up everyday…spreads its warmth…and still people like seeing the setting sun and the cool light of the moon. (though practically even the moon light is the result of Sunlight).

We get angry when we are not appreciated…The Sun also along with its warmth many a times heats up things…and we dont like that…Humans are also like that…they work day and night…but dont get any appreciation…they get angry…things heat up …and others dont like that.

But has the Sun complained ever? If it strikes work what will happen is known to all. This entire human race can get wiped out. We humans are just a tiny spec compared to the work Sun does…but we want appreciation.

Best is work like the Sun..without worrying about being not appreciated…spread the light…spread the warmth….you are playing a very important role in others life…but like the Sun…keep burning yourself ….
