A WA forward that made my eyes moist. #compassion #WednesdayThoughts //

एक पोस्टमैन ने एक घर के दरवाजे पर दस्तक देते हुए कहा,
"चिट्ठी ले लीजिये।"
अंदर से एक बालिका की आवाज आई,
"आ रही हूँ।"
लेकिन तीन-चार मिनट तक कोई न आया तो पोस्टमैन ने फिर कहा,
"अरे भाई! मकान में कोई है क्या, अपनी चिट्ठी ले लो।"
लड़की की फिर आवाज आई,"पोस्टमैन साहब, दरवाजे के नीचे से चिट्ठी अंदर डाल दीजिए,मैं आ रही हूँ। "
पोस्टमैन ने कहा,"नहीं,मैं खड़ा हूँ,रजिस्टर्ड चिट्ठी है,पावती पर तुम्हारे साइन चाहिये।"
करीबन छह-सात मिनट बाद दरवाजा खुला। पोस्टमैन इस देरी के लिए झल्लाया हुआ तो था ही और उस पर चिल्लाने वाला था ही लेकिन, दरवाजा खुलते ही वह चौंक गया !! सामने एक अपाहिज कन्या जिसके पांव नहीं थे, सामने खड़ी थी।
पोस्टमैन चुपचाप पत्र देकर और उसके साइन लेकर चला गया। हफ़्ते,दो हफ़्ते में जब कभी उस लड़की के लिए डाक आती, पोस्टमैन एक आवाज देता और जब तक वह कन्या न आती तब तक खड़ा रहता।

एक दिन लड़की ने पोस्टमैन को नंगे पाँव देखा।
दीपावली नजदीक आ रही थी। उसने सोचा पोस्टमैन को क्या ईनाम दूँ।
एक दिन जब पोस्टमैन डाक देकर चला गया, तब उस लड़की ने,जहां मिट्टी में पोस्टमैन के पाँव के निशान बने थे,उन पर काग़ज़ रख कर उन पाँवों का चित्र उतार लिया।

अगले दिन उसने अपने यहाँ काम करने वाली बाई से उस नाप के जूते मंगवा लिये।
दीपावली आई और उसके अगले दिन पोस्टमैन ने गली के सब लोगों से तो ईनाम माँगा और सोचा कि अब इस बिटिया से क्या इनाम लेना? पर गली में आया हूँ तो उससे मिल ही लूँ।
उसने दरवाजा खटखटाया।
अंदर से आवाज आई,
"कौन?
"पोस्टमैन, उत्तर मिला।
बालिका हाथ में एक गिफ्ट पैक लेकर आई और कहा, "अंकल,मेरी तरफ से दीपावली पर आपको यह भेंट है।
"पोस्टमैन ने कहा," तुम तो मेरे लिए बेटी के समान हो, तुमसे मैं गिफ्ट कैसे लूँ?"
कन्या ने आग्रह किया कि मेरी इस गिफ्ट के लिए मना नहीं करें।
"ठीक है कहते हुए पोस्टमैन ने पैकेट ले लिया। बालिका ने कहा, "अंकल इस पैकेट को घर ले जाकर खोलना।
घर जाकर जब उसने पैकेट खोला तो विस्मित रह गया, क्योंकि उसमें एक जोड़ी जूते थे। उसकी आँखें भर आई।
अगले दिन वह ऑफिस पहुंचा और पोस्टमास्टर से फरियाद की कि उसका तबादला फ़ौरन कर दिया जाए।
पोस्टमास्टर ने कारण पूछा, तो पोस्टमैन ने वे जूते टेबल पर रखते हुए सारी कहानी सुनाई और भीगी आँखों और रुंधे कंठ से कहा, "आज के बाद मैं उस गली में नहीं जा सकूँगा। उस अपाहिज बच्ची ने तो मेरे नंगे पाँवों को तो जूते दे दिये पर मैं उसे पाँव कैसे दे पाऊँगा?"
संवेदनशीलता का यह श्रेष्ठ दृष्टांत है। संवेदनशीलता यानि,दूसरों के दुःख-दर्द को समझना,अनुभव करना और उसके दुःख-दर्द में भागीदारी करना,उसमें शरीक होना। यह ऐसा मानवीय गुण है जिसके बिना इंसान अधूरा है।
ईश्वर से प्रार्थना है कि वह हमें संवेदनशीलता रूपी आभूषण प्रदान करें ताकि हम दूसरों के दुःख-दर्द को कम करने में योगदान कर सकें।

संकट की घड़ी में कोई यह नहीं समझे कि वह अकेला है,अपितु उसे महसूस हो कि सारी मानवता उसके साथ है।🙏🙏

From Ashes to Authority: Vikram Misri.
Story of Vikram Misri—a boy born in Srinagar on 7 November '64, into the serene, intellectual world of Kashmiri Hindus. His early life echoed with the sounds of temple bells and the scent of chinars.
Excerpt from an article recd on WA.
But that peace was shattered by a storm of militancy that swept through the valley in the late 1980s and 90s—a storm not born of the people, but of political poison fed across the border by Pakistan.
Like thousands of others, the Misri family was uprooted. But that did not deter him.

He joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1989 - the very year many of his own were forced to flee.

Got it on WA and sharing it here. Credit to the original writer.

My father had grown old now and used to take support of the wall while walking. Slowly, his fingerprints started appearing on the walls—marks that silently told the story of his dependency and weakness.
My wife did not like this at all. She would often complain that the walls were getting dirty. One day, father had a headache, he applied oil on his head and used the wall as support while walking, due to which oil stains also got on the walls.
My wife got angry at me for this. I scolded father in anger, told him in harsh words not to touch the wall. Father became silent. There was pain in his eyes. I was also embarrassed, but could not say anything.

#HealthInsurance
Today @rvaidya2000 Sir, whom I respect immensely, has quite a bit of questions on Health Insurance and the companies doing scamming, let me take on and address few pointers:
a. RV: It is a scam - CK: It is not a scam. Period.
b. They also have 2yr waiting for many diseases:)) - - Broadly there are 3 waiting periods:
i. 30 days from the date policy is taken for any hospitalization - it is a preventive measure to ensure that no one takes benefit from existing treatments. However, hospitalization....
due to accident is covered from Day 1.
ii. There are some medical conditions that insurers exclude for a period of either 1 or 2 years - such as Cataract or Knee Replacement or Hip Replacement surgery.

#naturetwitter #NatureConservation #Biodiversity #People An extraordinary experience happened y'day. A thread🧵 Divine interventions
I was making a business call and as I was going to leave the factory, the security guard informed me that rear tyre of the car had very low pressure and the Factory owner told me that there are places nearby to fix it. I wasn't too worried because I always carry a tire inflator.
I started my return journey and came across a small shop that does the work. Asked the guys there to fill the rear tire and after taking a look at it, he told me, "saab, yeh toh puncture hai. Isko teek kar dein ?" I said go ahead.

#Vaccines #CovidVaccines #COVID19 Saw quite a few Tweets on Vaccines. Some sections of Indians, are an ungrateful lot they weill complain if you do; will complain if you don’t. Heads they win, tails you lose is the situation.
A thread that is a tribute to the book, "Braving the Viral Storm" by @c_aashish and #SurajSudhir that dovetails of India's vaccination program and how India scaled up in a magnificent manner. This is a just a bird's eye view and Thread # 1.
Do they (the critics) even know what the Indian Government did under the most exacting circumstances where a web of lies and half truths went flying around and WHO was found wanting.

Congress invites Shri Jaishankar for dinner. - Read till end🤣🤣

The Story :

To counter the G-20 insult by Modi and also to cement their new alliance, the Dotted alliance gang built a new fancy office and named it "Mohabbat Ki Dukaan"
A grand program was organised for the inauguration, followed by a dinner hosted by Sonia.

The building had an exclusive "Freedom of speech and dissent" lounge for eminent intellectuals, historians, artists, economists, jurists to agonize and curse Modiji..
The MC for the event were Ravish and Rajdeep who were going Ga Ga over the Italian frescos, wine and beef menu.

To rub it in, they invite only S. Jaishankar from BJP to the dinner.
