Hike in petrol prices!

Yesterday in Allahabad a pair of twin brothers got separated from each other. When we heard this news, we thought it is quite common there. But one of our reporter raised doubt that this is not the time of Kumbh, and to get the more information he headed towards Allahabad. There he met one of the brothers (who is not missing obviously) named Chetan and claims to be a writer. He said as soon as he heard about the hike in petrol prices; he along with his brother Bhagat went to petrol pump to get their car full with petrol. According to him it was too crowded and it seemed like whole Allahabad has gathered there. It was their turn and he realized Bhagat was missing; and he has not found him till now. We were able to feel the pain in voice of Chetan while he was narrating his story.

These sudden hikes in price of petrol were disaster not only for Chetan- Bhagat but also for other ‘Aam Aadmi’ of India. As we claim to be ‘Sabse Tej’ our reporters headed towards different politicians and other not so common people of our country to figure out what they think about these hikes.

One of the representative of UPA government said that “this was our attempt to support SP. Now people will be travelling on Bicycles. Ab nuclear government me support to karna hi padta hai.”

On asking to Finance Minister Pranav Mukarjee, he said “According to Shwet Patra of this year (though data are fake) black money has reduced to a very low level, and we felt quite ashamed. So we have raised the price of petrol in order to raise the funds in Swiss bank.

While Manmohan Sing remained silent over the issue.

Vijay Malyaa supported and said “this is government’s one more move towards realizing my dream India. Where beer will be cheaper than petrol.”

Then our reporter approached to Aamir Khan, but he was busy with his green campaign on his bicycle. That time he seemed quite confused (as usual) on the issue. But, finally he tweeted- Jab dil pe baat lagegi tabhi to baat banegi #Satyamev Jayate #Hike In Petrol Prices.

And when one of our reporters asked the same question to Sachin Tondulkar he said “Now I think I will take retirement, and will become a monk, after selling my Ferrari.”

Reportedly when Poonam Pandey heard about retirement of Sachin Tondulkar he offered UPA government to strip in front of them, if they will reduce back the prices of Petrol. And when Rahul Gaandhi and other senior members of party heard Poonam Pandey’s statement; they agreed to think on the issue again. Notably Manmohan Sing was still silent.

सपना


सपने में मेरे आई थी,
माथे पर एक बिंदिया चमकाई थी.


हवा में आँचल लहराई थी,
पैरों में पायल उसने छनकआई थी.


कानों में उसके बाली थी,
होंटों पर उसके लाली थी.


कातिल उसकी अदाओं ने,
दीवाना मुझे बनाया था. 


उसके चेहरे का लश्कर,
आँखों पर मेरे आया था.


जब देखा तो पता चला,
सूरज क्षितिज तक उठ आया था, टूट गया था मेरा 'सपना'!


पर अब भी,
उसकी जुल्फों के कोहरे में,
ढला मेरा सवेरा था.


अब तो मेरे दिल में,
उसका ही बसेरा था.


अब नहीं है वो मेरे सामने,
पर उस 'सपने' ने,
मेरी सुबह को खूबसूरत बनाया था.

लहरें

उसने जो आँखें मिलाई,
वो दिल को घायल कर गयी.
और जब पलकें झुकाई,
तो मुझको पागल कर गयी.
जब बातों का सिलसिला उनसे चला,
तो लगा कि मेरी मंजिल है यही.
जब साथ हम होते थे,
तो वक़्त जैसे थम सा जाता था.
कभी बैठे होते हम पेड़ कि छाओं में,
तो कभी सागर किनारे.
कभी उसका आँचल मेरे चहेरे पर लहराता,
तो कभी साहिल कि लहरें पैरों को छू जाती.
और ऐसा लगता शायद यही जन्नत है,
लेकिन न जाने फिर ऐसा क्या हुआ!
वक़्त ने ऐसी करवट ली,
आज भी मैं बैठा हूँ वहीँ,
सागर के उसी छोर पर,
उसके इंतज़ार में,
पर आज ना उसका आँचल है,
और कुदरत भी शायद हम से खफा है,
इसलिए ना ही साहिल कि लहरें....!!!
