The Plumber #fridayfotofiction #fictionwriting

Plumberसक्षम के  पिता  अनपढ़ थे व उम्र भर प्लम्बर( plumber) का   काम करते रहे , पर उन्होंने अपने इकलौते बेटे को खूब पढ़ाया लिखाया  व इंजीनियर बनाया ।

उच्च शिक्षा के साथ साथ उच्च संस्कार भी दिए थे पिता ने ।  नौकरी के लिए शहर  भेजते  समय पिता ने कहा   ” बेटा ,जिंदगी में खूब तरक्की करो खूब पैसा कमाओ पर अपने  जीवन की आधारशिला कभी मत भूलना । यह  सोच कभी भी तुम्हारे मन मे अहंकार पैदा नही होने देगी ”

आज सक्षम के पिता कई महीनों बाद उससे मिलने शहर आये  थे । सुबह जब बेटे को कोट पेंट पहनकर व टाई लगाकर आफिस जाते देखा तो  बहुत  गर्वित  महसूस किया  । शाम को   आफिस से आने के बाद बाप बेटा दिल की बातें करने लगे ।

“पिता जी , अब आप यहीं मेरे पास ही आ जाओ , गावँ में क्या रखा है , और हां अब  आपको वो प्लम्बर का काम करने की कोई ज़रूरत नही ”

तभी एक फोन आता है

” जी जी , ठीक है , अभी 10 मिनट में पहुंच जाता हूँ ”

“कहाँ जाना है इस वक़्त बेटा ? ”

“पिता जी , बस कभी कभी  शाम को  कुछ पार्ट टाइम  काम होता  है  , मैं अभी थोड़ी देर में आ जाऊंगा,  आप आराम करिये ”

पिता आश्चर्यचकित हो गए परन्तु   और भी अधिक गौरवान्वित महसूस  कर रहे थे  जब  सक्षम  ने अपनी प्लम्बर  टूलकिट उठायी और   पार्ट टाइम काम के लिए जाने लगा ।

बेटा सच मे अपनी आधारशिला नही भूला था ।

Zoning out and other tips to free your mind

Red zone , orange zone , green zone , we all are familiar with these terms now-a-days . The district where I live has been declared as a red zone . Red zone is the zone where there are quite a large number of cases of Corona virus infection and it stands a chance to spread rapidly . Orange zone is where there are few cases and it can be controlled with few efforts . Green zone is the one where there’s no virus infection as yet and we want it to remain a green zone . The same concept applies to our thoughts . Sometimes the life becomes a real struggle – there are conflicts with family , pressures at workplace , parenting burdens , health troubles , and there accompany them the stressful  emotions -frustration , anger , sadness , hatred , self-neglect , and many more . When such emotions pile up in your mind , you need to become very careful of your thoughts as your mind has entered a red zone . You have to work on your thoughts so as to avoid potential of community outbreak o...

I started my blog five years ago and my blogging journey during these five years has gone through many twists and turns . I started my blog on self hosted wordpress site , learnt lot many technical aspects like DA ,  SEO and latram patram .....Blogchatter has been a constant friend ( plus a big support) since then ....I have  successfully participated in  #BlogchatterA2Z three times .....and wrote two ebooks too during the process . All this was quite exciting you know as I got to understand a bit of creative side of writing , made some new blogger friends , and became a proud AUTHOR of two ebooks .  In 2018 my theme was #Astitva where I wrote about various stigmas faced by a woman in our society . In 2019 I wrote under the theme #Prerna where I uploaded  some inspirational posts . In 2020 all my blogposts were related to the life of middle aged women (as that was the time I had just stepped into my forties ) . That was the time I came up with the book 'The Silv...

A letter to my Kitchen

 Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen    Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly .  Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .  It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job   in  just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...
