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.

Unko khabar hai mere toote armaano ki,
aaj zaroorat padegi kaanch ke paimaano ki,
khaali na hone dena jaam yaaro,
yaad aa jaayegi warna fir se guzre zamaano ki.

Be-rokke aaunde hawa de bulle ne,
teri udeek wich palkaan de boohe vi khulle ne,
paer saambh-saambh ke rakhin kitte phij na jaan,
thaan-thaan te mere hanju dulle ne.

Suna hai woh jaate hue keh gaye,
ki ab to hum sirf tumhaare khawaabon mein aayenge,
koi keh de unse ki woh waadaa kar lein..
hum umar bhar ke liye so jaayenge.

Pyaar karo, Pyaar ki koi hadh nahi hoti,
do dilo ke beech sarhad nahi hoti,
dilruba ko to sabhi chaahte hain,
bewafa ko chaahne ki kismat sabki nahi hoti.

Ek hi zakhm nahi sara badan zakhmi hai..
Dard hairan hai ke uthun to kahan se uthun..

Bahn phad ke rok laende taenu,
je chaldaa saada zor hunda,
asin tere pichche kyon rulde,
je tere warga koi hor hunda.
