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.

Courage is not simply one of the virtues,
but the form of every virtue at the testing point.
- C. S. Lewis

Dare to reach into darkness
to pull someone into light.
Remember , strong people not only stand up for themselves
they stand up for others too..

Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"i will try again tomorrow"

My rule is: If you meet the weakest vessel, attack.
If it is a vessel equal to yours, attack.
And if it is stronger than yours, also attack.
- Stepan O. Makarov, Russian Admiral

With courage you will dare to take risks,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of Integrity. - Mark Twain

कभी महक बनके गुलों से उड़ते हैं हम
कभी धुँए की तरह पर्बतों से उड़ते हैं हम
ये कैंचियां हमें उड़ने से ख़ाक रोकेंगी
क्योंकि परों से नहीं हौसलों से उड़ते हैं हम..

Kabhi mehek banke gulon se udte hain hum
kabhi dhuein ki tarah parbaton se udte hain hum
yeh kainchiyaan humein udne se khaak rokengi
kyunki paron se nahi hoslon se udte hain hum..
