50 ways to take a break

The Story of Samosa Vendor

"Today in India its unbelievable .......
The numbers are a little difficult to swallow, ......
But interesting nevertheless."

It was my regular train journey home from work.
I boarded the 18:50pm train from Paranur.
When the train was about to leave Guduvanchery,
A samosa vendor with an empty basket got on and took
the seat next to me.
As the compartment was sparsely occupied and my
destination was still far away,
I got into a conversation with him.

Me: "Seems like you've sold all your samosas today."
Vendor (smiling): "Yes. By God's grace, full sales today."

Me: "I really feel sorry for you people. Don't you get tired doing
This tiresome job the whole day?"

Vendor: "What to do, sir? Only by selling samosas like this every day do
We get a commission of .75 paise for each samosa that we sell."

Me: "Oh, is that so ? How many samosas do you sell on an average each day?"
Vendor: "On peak days, we sell 4,000 to 5,000 samosas per day.
On an average, we sell about 3,000 samosas a day."

I was speechless.....for a few seconds.
The guy says he sells 3,000 samosas a day; at .75 paise each,
He makes about 2,000 rupees daily, or 60,000 rupees a month.
That's Rs. 60,000 a month. OMG.
I intensified my questioning and this time it was not for time pass.
Me: "Do you make the samosas yourself?"
Vendor: "No Sir. we gets the samosas through a samosa manufacturer
And we just sell them. After selling we give him the money
And gives us 75 paise for each samosa that we sell."

I was unable to speak a single word more but the vendor continued...
"But one thing...most of our earnings are spent on living expenses.
Only with the remaining money are we able to take care of other business."

Me: "Other business? What is that?"

Vendor: "It is a land business. In 2007 I bought 1.5 acres in
Urupakkam for 10 lakh rupees and I sold it a few months back for 60 lakhs.
Now I have bought land in Uthiramerur for 20 lakh rupees."

Me: "What did you do with the remaining amount?

Vendor: "Of the remaining amount,
I have set aside 20 lakhs for my daughter's wedding.
I have deposited the other 20 lakhs in the bank."

Me: "How much schooling have you had?"

Vendor: "I studied up to third standard;
I stopped my studies when I was in the 4th standard.
But I know how to read and write.
Sir, there are many people like yourself,
Who dress well, wear a tie, wear shoes,
Speak English fluently and work in air-conditioned rooms.
But I don't think you guys earn as much
As we do wearing dirty clothes and selling samosas."

At this point, what could I reply. After all, I was talking to a
Millionaire! The train chugged into Chromepet station
And the samosa vendor got up from his seat.

Vendor: "Sir, this is my station...have a good day."
Me: "Take care."

What more is there to say...!

inkar aur iqrar

"Aurat jab tak mard se door rehti hai. Tab tak wo mard k liye sab se zaiyda hassen, dilkash aur nayab chaiz hoti ha. Lekin jis waqt aurat Mohabbat ka iqrar kar leti ha to usi waqt mard ki nighaon mein aurat ki ahmiyat aur dilkashi pehley ki nisbat kam ho jati ha. Aur aurat ki nighaon me mard ki ahmiyat bht barh jati ha kyun k aurat iqrar kar k qaid ho jati hai aur mard iqrar sun kr azad ho jata ha.."

(Lines from a novel)

पिताजी हमारे लिए ही पैसे बचाते है ..

पुरानी पेंट रफू करा कर पहनते जाते है, Branded नई shirt
देने पे आँखे दिखाते है
टूटे चश्मे से ही अख़बार पढने का लुत्फ़ उठाते है, Topaz के
ब्लेड से दाढ़ी बनाते है
पिताजी आज भी पैसे बचाते है ….

कपड़े का पुराना थैला लिये दूर की मंडी तक जाते है,
बहुत मोल-भाव करके फल-सब्जी लाते है
आटा नही खरीदते, गेहूँ पिसवाते है..
पिताजी आज भी पैसे बचाते है…

स्टेशन से घर पैदल ही आते है रिक्सा लेने से कतराते है
सेहत का हवाला देते जाते है बढती महंगाई पे
चिंता जताते है
पिताजी आज भी पैसे बचाते है ....

पूरी गर्मी पंखे में बिताते है, सर्दियां आने पर रजाई में
दुबक जाते है
AC/Heater को सेहत का दुश्मन बताते है, लाइट
खुली छूटने पे नाराज हो जाते है
पिताजी आज भी पैसे बचाते है

माँ के हाथ के खाने में रमते जाते है, बाहर खाने में
आनाकानी मचाते है
साफ़-सफाई का हवाला देते जाते है,मिर्च, मसाले और
तेल से घबराते है
पिताजी आज भी पैसे बचाते है…

गुजरे कल के किस्से सुनाते है, कैसे ये सब जोड़ा गर्व से
बताते है पुराने दिनों की याद दिलाते है,बचत की अहमियत
समझाते है
हमारी हर मांग आज भी,फ़ौरन पूरी करते जाते है
पिताजी हमारे लिए ही पैसे बचाते है ..

She was beautiful

She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful for the way she thought. She was beautiful for that sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile even when she was sad. No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful deep down to her soul.

Goongi Ho Gai Aaj kuch Zuban kehte kehte

"Dr. Allama Iqbal" 󾠨

Goongi Ho Gai Aaj kuch Zuban kehte kehte,

Hichkicha Gaya Me khud ko Musalman kehte kehte,󾁀

Ye baat Nahi k Mujko Rab par Yaqeen Nahi,

Bas dar gaya khud ko sahib-e-imaan kehte kehte,󾁁

Tofeeq Na hui Mujhe ek waqt ki Namaz ki,

Aur Chup Ho Gaya Moazzin Azaan kehte kehte,󾁅

Kisi kafir Ne jo pocha k Ye kya Hai Maheena,

Sharm se pani Hath se gir gaya Ramazan kehte kehte,󾠨

Meri Almari me Gard se Ati kitab ka Jo poochha,

Mai Gaddh gaya Zameen me Quran kehte kehte,

Indian leaders are making sentimental speeches

Indian leaders are making sentimental speeches to win the heart of the foolish people of India. Arvind Kejriwal becomes common man and denies bungalow, security and beacon. On the other hand, Modi says he sold tea in train and he has seen his mother clean pots. What do these things matter to the problems of India? There are still hundreds of thousands of people doing the same jobs, selling tea and cleaning kitchen untensils. Alas and alack, no one has clear vision of economic development, proper education to the poor, health problems, security to the minorities and drinking water to all Indians and there are several issues of the people living in India.

Uth Sher mujahid hosh mein aa

Uth Sher mujahid hosh mein aa, tameer-e-khilafat paida kar.

Kyun firqe firqe hota hai, Ab ek jamat ko paida kar…

Kar tu bhi taraqqi duniya mein, Asbab-e-tijarat paida kar,

Qaroon ki daulat thukra de, Usman ki daulat paida kar…

Islam ka dam tu bharta hai, Kuffar se phir kyun darta hai,

Ya to islam ka nam na le, Ya shauq-e-shahadat paida kar…

Dil se kah ke aa, ghabraye na, Halat badalne wale hain,

Jo kante banke aaye they, Wo lamhe talne wale hain…

Mazloomo ki anho ne, Ab sholo ki adaye pahni hai,

Ye jaal to bs sayyado ke, Ab sadne galne wale hai…

Himmat he nahi toofano mein, Jazbo ko hamare cheen sake,

Jitna humse uljhenge, hum aur machalne wale hain…

hum aur machalne wale hain…
