Bismillah, ek budha bhikari, sadkon ka malik tha—kam se kam apne khayalon mein toh yahi sochta tha. Uske chehre pe jhurriyan thi, daant toote hue, aur kapde itne gande ki unki asli rang bhi bhool chuki thi. Lekin uski aankhon mein ek chamak thi, ek aag thi, jo kabhi bujhne ka naam nahi leti thi. Yeh aag pehli baar tab sulgi jab usne sadak ke kinare ek chhote se TV dukaan pe Shivaleeka Oberoi ko dekha. Woh film thi Khuda Haafiz, jismein gaane “Jaan Ban Gaye” mein Vidyut Jammwal ke saath Shivaleeka ka ek steamy scene tha. Us scene mein ... Read more

Vidya aur Diwakar Chacha ka rishta ab ek gahre, chhupe hue pyar aur vasna ka bandhan ban chuka tha. Har subah jab Manohar school ke liye ghar se nikalta, Vidya aur Chacha apne kamre mein ek doosre ke saath ghul-mil jate. Chacha ke budhe shareer mein Vidya ki jawani ek nayi roshni bhar deti thi, aur Vidya Chacha ke sparsh mein ek ajab sa sukh paati thi. Yeh silsila kayi mahinon se chalta aa raha tha, aur kisi ko kanokan khabar na thi—na Manohar ko, na kisi padosi ko. Vidya ka beta, Atharva, ab bada ho chuka tha aur usne ... Read more

Char saal ki shadi ke baad Vidya aur Manohar ki zindagi ek nanhe bete ke aane se khushi se bhar gayi thi. Lekin is khushi ke saath ek naya rishta bhi janam le chuka tha—Vidya aur Diwakar Chacha ka rishta. Shuruat mein yeh sirf ek madad thi—Vidya ka doodh jo uska beta pura nahi peeta tha, woh Diwakar Chacha ki sehat ke liye diya jata tha. Lekin dheere-dheere, yeh doodh pilane ka silsila ek gahre, jismani aur roohani bandhan mein badal gaya. Diwakar Chacha, 82 saal ke budhe aadmi, jo saalon se akela tha, Vidya ke shareer ke prati akarshit ... Read more

Char saal guzar chuke the Vidya aur Manohar ki shadi ko, aur ab unka ghar ek nanhe se bete ki kilkaariyon se goonj raha tha. Vidya ki zindagi ab ek maa ki zindagi thi—apne bete ko apna doodh pilane mein woh khushi aur sukoon mehsoos karti thi. Lekin ek chhoti si pareshani thi. Uska beta utna doodh nahi peeta tha jitna uske stanon mein bhar jata tha. Har baar jab doodh adhura reh jata, Vidya ke seene mein ek teekha sa dard uthne lagta. Woh apne stanon ko dabati, lekin dard ke saath-saath ek ajab si bechaini bhi badhti jaati ... Read more

Vidya aur Manohar ki shaadi ko ek mahina beet chuka tha, aur dono apne chhote se ghar mein khushi khushi reh rahe the. Vidya, 23 saal ki jawaan aur khubsurat biwi, apne budhe pati Manohar, 60 saal ke shikshak, ke saath ek alag si duniya mein khushi se jee rahi thi. Uske bade, rasile chuchiyo aur nange pet ka jaadu Manohar pe hamesha chhaya rehta tha, aur woh har raat uske jism ki puja karta tha. Par ek din, unke ghar ka sukoon tootne wala tha jab Manohar ka dost aur makan malik, Ashfaq Shaikh, unke ghar aaya. Ashfaq, 67 ... Read more
