Meeting with Murli sir has left a unfathomable influence on my mind. Despite the fact that he is professor of Sociology, but have a vast knowledge about others subjects as well. He loves to listen music n also plays Sitar.
As by Kalidas's Malhar Rag rain comes; By Tansen's Deepak Rag Earthen lamp lits automatically; by his Prayers Bulbs n Lights starts dimming n a soft air begin flowing with a sweet n charming smell; I used to say this prayer, Electricity Rag.
But fate doesn't execute good with him, his lovely family is extinguished by cruelty of destiny. He has told me,
It is a very pleasant day, his beautiful wife with his lovely daughter is arriving from her Mama's home. He reached Station to pick them up. But a sudden news'
"Sabhi logon ko suchit kiya jata hai, Howrah-New Delhi Rajdhani Express, Rafiganj station ke pass patri se uttar gayi hai"
These words have what a cavernous impact on person''.. I'm unable to explain. It's the instance how a pleasing day can turn into blizzard.
Residing in the memories followed by Murli sir's voice'.
"Words are echoing in my ears. I run to station master to enquire about injured n deads," hume kuch nhi pta abhi-abhi khabar aayi hai baad maine pta karna."
So, irresponsible behavior in such an important panel.
"Acha yeh to bata dijiye Rafiganj station kaha hai."
"Haan btata hai na abhi", he checked computer n continue," Gaya aur Dehri-on-Sone ke bich mein hai"
I run like mad; mad for family; mad for wellness of my close by; mad for wellness of humanity.
Take a taxi n reach there as soon as possible rushing through traffic jams, a huge crowd of people like herds of sheep moving here n there only to enquire about their relatives. Police is there controlling the mass, Ambulances r arriving n leaving, doctors r there to provide initial first aid to victims, three persons are there noting the names of died ones, injured ones and hospitalized ones.
I moved to them," Kya ismein Smt. Kajal Mehra aur Khushboo Mehra ka naam hai."
He looked at me anguishly, "Dighayi nhi deta hum Kaam kar rahe hain, pooch tach karni hai toh shaam 7 baje ke baad maine aana."
I left having tears in my eyes'I am moving here n there like a fallen leaf moves with flow of air'watching the mocking destiny.
It is nearly 7, I reached ,"Aapne kaha tha ab bataye Kya ismein Smt. Kajal Mehra aur Khushboo Mehra ka naam hai. Kya tumhe dikhayi nhi deta main abhi chaye pee rahan hoon."
"Dekhiye Sriman, Maine subh se apne parivaar ki kushal shem janne ke liye yahan bhatak rahan hoon koi kheta hai, yahan jao koi wahan, koi kheta hai kal aana koi . Aapke liye behter hoga ki aap mujhe sahi sahi bta den nahi toh'"
"Nahi toh kya' "he jumped from his chair n pushed me away. "Nai toh kya..bol'bade sahib ke pass jayega..jaa na phir kisne roka hai'rasta udher se hai chodkar aaon."
"Dekhiye aap tameez se baat kijiye."
"Tameez se kya' hota kaun hai tu humare saamne... ek tuccha sa professor ho gaya toh badi badi baten karta hai' ja hum per tera rob nhi chalega'apne students per hi chala."
I called police," Inspector , inka kaam hai ki jo inse poocha jaye uska uttar de, aur yeh yahan bathe apne is pad ka durupyog kar rahe hain."
"Arey Mishraji, kyun inko pareshan kar rahen hain bta bhi dijiye..Kahan hai inke parivaar wale' bhagwan ko pyare ho gaye yaaa abhi baki hain."
They all burst into laughter. I'm totally shocked, "Manushy jeevan in logon ke liye itna chota ho gaya, jo yeh is jeevan ko is prakar barbaad kar rahe hain. Kisi ka bhi jeevan in rakshakon ko mazak lag raha hai, logon ki bhawnao ka koi lihaj hi nhi hai inhe. Main ulte paon wahan se laut gaya."
I went to hospital n make a query, the lady on reception said,"Sir, Nahi yeh log hospitalized nhi hain. But aisa bhi hua hai ki kuch logon ka hospital aatey aatey intekaal ho gaya tha, toh aap chahen to Murdaghar... '"
After hearing these words, no other word reaches my ears. "Ek -Ek murde se kaffan uthaker dekhna, aur unmein koi apna khojna kaisa hota hai yeh tum swayam samj sakte ho, Rihan".
After sir had told me about his scattered life, I solely want to console him but I have no words what to say n don't know how to react'
