An Incident Of Chain-Snatching 

In Delhi law and order situation is deteriorating day-by-day. Last evening I witnessed an incident of chain snatching at Badkal Chowk Bus stand. I was waiting for my bus. There was a long queue of passengers. All of a sudden two youngmen came there on motor cycle. They parked the motor cycle nearby. They snatched a chain from the neck of a young woman. One of them took out a revolver and fired a shot in the air. There was a great panic and everybody drew back. They rode on their motor cycle and escaped. All this happened so quickly that nobody could note even the number of their motor cycle.

दिल्ली में कानून व्यवस्था दिनों-दिन बिगड़ती जा रही है । कल शाम मैंने बड़कल चौक बस स्टैंड पर चेन लूटने की घटना देखी । मैं अपनी बस का इन्तजार कर रहा था । वहाँ यात्रियों की एक बड़ी-सी लाइन लगी हुई थी । तभी अचानक दो नवयुवक मोटरसाइकिल पर वहाँ आये । उन्होंने मोटरसाइकिल पास ही में खड़ी कर दी । उन्होंने एक नवयुवती के गले से चेन खींच ली । उनमें से एक ने रिवाल्वर निकाला और हवा में फायर कर दिया । वहाँ एकदम भगदड़ मच गयी और सभी पीछे हट गये । वे अपनी मोटरसाइकिल पर सवार हुए और बच निकले । यह सब इतनी जल्दी में हो गया कि कोई भी उनकी मोटरसाइकिल का नम्बर तक नोट नहीं कर पाया ।

It was swerving to and fro as the driver had lost control over the vehicle. It ran over a group of people sleeping on the footpath. Three people were killed on the spot.

The truck driver escaped in the cover of darkness, abandoning the vehicle. In the meantime a police patrolling car reached the spot. A case of reckless driving and causing death by negligence was registered against the driver. An ambulance was sent for. The injured were moved to the hospital. 

अभी कुछ ही दिनों पहले की बात है 10 बजे (रात्रि) का समय था जब मैं अपनी फैक्ट्री से ड्यूटी करके स्कूटर से घर लौट रहा था । तभी अचानक मैंने विपरीत दिशा से आते हुए एक ट्रक देखा । वह ट्रक इधर-उधर लहरा रहा था क्योंकि ड्राइवर ने उस पर नियंत्रण खो दिया हो । वह फुटपाथ पर सोये हुऐ लोगों के ऊपर चढ़ गया ।

तीन लोगों की मौके पर ही मृत्यु हो गयी । 7 लोग बुरी तरह घायल हो गये । ट्रक ड्राइवर रात के अंधेरे का फायदा उठाते हुए वाहन को वहीं छोड़कर भाग निकला । इतने में ही गश्ती पुलिस की कार घटनास्थल पर पहुँच गयी । ड्राइवर के विरुद्ध लापरवाही से ड्राइविंग व हत्या का केस दर्ज किया गया । एक ambulance को बुलाया गया । घायलों को अस्पताल भेजा गया

Passengers had to bear a lot of hardships and problems. The waiting rooms were packed to the capacity. Most of the passengers had to sleep in the open. Some of them had to go without food since no food was available on all the nearby stalls. Children were crying. We had a sigh of relief when the schedule of the cancelled trains was announced.

कल मैं नई दिल्ली रेलवे स्टेशन पर कोटा के लिये अपनी ट्रेन का इन्तजार कर रहा था । मैंने देखा कि हरियाणा में बाढ़ के कारण रेलवे को कुछ ट्रेनें रद्द करनी पड़ी । यह यात्रियों की सुरक्षा के लिए किया गया । सैकडों यात्री नई दिल्ली रेलवे स्टेशन पर फंसे हुए थे । यात्रियों को बेहद कठिनाइयों व परेशानियों का सामना करना पड़ रहा था ।

प्रतीक्षालय एकदम भीड़ से भरे हुए थे । ज्यादातर यात्रियों को खुले में ही सोना पड़ रहा था । कुछ लोगों को भूखे रहना पड़ रहा था क्योंकि आसपास की स्टालों पर खाने-पीने का कोई भी सामान उपलब्ध नहीं था । बच्चे चीख रहे थे । जब रद्द की गयीं ट्रेनों की समय सारिणी घोषित की गयी तब सबने राहत की सांस ली।

The fire brigade was informed but it could not reach in time.

People threw water with buckets on the fire but the fire could not be brought under control. In the twinkling of an eye, the whole market came in its grip. The fire brigade arrived and tried to extinguish the fire. After an hour the fire could be brought under control. It is believed that the fire was caught by a short circuit.

कल शाम लगभग 8 बजकर 30 मिनिट पर सेंट्रल बाजार में भयंकर आग लग गयी । जैसे ही watchman ने लकड़ी के गोदाम से धुआँ निकलता देखा उसने समय पर सूचित कर दिया । कुछ ही पलों में आग सारे बाजार में फैल गयी । फायर ब्रिगेड को सूचित किया गया लेकिन वह समय पर नहीं पहुँच सकी । लोगों ने पानी की बाल्टियाँ भर-भर के आग पर डालीं लेकिन आग पर नियंत्रण नहीं किया जा सका । पलक झपकते ही सारा बाजार इसकी चपेट में आ गया । फायर ब्रिगेड आयी और उसने आग बुझाने का प्रयास किया । एक घण्टे बाद आग पर नियंत्रण किया जा सका । ऐसा माना जा रहा है कि आग short circuit के कारण लगी थी ।

कल कॉलेज के छात्रों व राजस्थान परिवहन निगम की बस के कर्मचारियों के बीच झगड़ा हो गया । घटना उस समय हुई जब सुबह के अत्यधिक व्यस्त समय में रूट नं. 223 की एक बस ने प्रतापनगर के समीप एक स्कूली छात्रा को टक्कर मार दी । ड्राइवर लापरवाही से बस चला रहा था जिसके कारण यह घटना हुई।

उसने लड़की के टक्कर मारी । उसके पैरों में कुछ मामूली चोटें आईं । तुरन्त ही उस स्थान पर कुछ छात्र आ पहुँचे । शुरू में उन्होंने ड्राइवर को माफी मांगने के लिये समझाया। लेकिन बस ड्राइवर ने अस्वीकार कर दिया और अपशब्द कहने लगा । छात्र यह सब सहन नहीं कर सके और उन्होंने बस पर पत्थर फेंकना शुरू कर दिया । सारा यातायात जाम हो गया। मामला पुलिस और छात्रसंघ के नेता की सहायता से शान्त किया जा सका।

There was a serious bomb explosion in the RSTC bus which was about to leave for Ajmer. Ten persons died on the spot and 15 injured. Injured were taken to SMS Hospital, Jaipur.

One of the victims told that a man had got down the bus just putting his bag on the seat. Most probably the bag contained the bomb which exploded immediately. There was hue and cry on all around. The police came well in time but the culprit had escaped.

कल मैं अपने स्कूल जा रहा था । मैं यातायात को निकल जाने देने के लिये bus terminus के समीप खड़ा हो गया । पलक झपकते ही एक भयानक आवाज bus terminus पर सुनाई दी । RSTC की एक बस जो कि अजमेर के लिये जाने वाली थी उसमें बम विस्फोट हुआ था । 10 लोगों की मौके पर ही मृत्यु हो गयी और 15 घायल हो गये । पीड़ित लोगों में से एक ने बताया कि एक आदमी सीट पर बैग छोड़कर बस से नीचे गया था । सम्भवतः उसी बैग में बम होगा जो तुरन्त ही फट गया । चारों तरफ चीख पुकार मच गयी । पुलिस समय पर वहाँ पहुँच गयी लेकिन अपराधी उससे पहले ही बच निकला ।

Then I saw coins of various kings' ages and flags of different nations of the world. In another corner I saw various swords and other weapons. In the art gallery, I saw dresses and robes used by the past kings and queens.

It took almost two hours. After visiting the museum I came out. I was shocked to see my bike was not there. Somebody had stolen my bike. I became extremely upset but what could I do. I just went to the police station and lodged the complaint of my bike. The Policemen assured me that they would search the thief anyhow.

पिछले रविवार मैं राष्ट्रीय संग्रहालय देखने गया । मैंने अपनी बाइक संग्रहालय के बाहर खड़ी कर दी । सबसे पहले मैंने कलात्मक वस्तुएँ देखीं, हथकरघा, आभूषण, मिट्टी के बर्तन, धातु की वस्तुएँ इत्यादि देखे । फिर मैंने अनेक राजाओं के समय के सिक्के व विभिन्न देशों के झण्डे देखे । दूसरे एक अन्य कोने में मैंने विभिन्न तलवारें व अन्य हथियार देखे । कलादीर्घा में मैंने पहले के राजा व रानियों द्वारा पहले जाने वाले वस्त्र देखे ।

इसमें तकरीबन दो घण्टे लगे । संग्रहालय देखने के बाद मैं बाहर आया । यह देखकर मैं हैरान रह गया कि मेरी बाईक वहाँ नहीं थी । किसी ने मेरी बाईक चुरा ली थी । मैं बेहद परेशान था लेकिन क्या कर सकता था । मैं तुरन्त पुलिस स्टेशन गया और बाईक की शिकायत लिखवाई । पुलिस वाले ने मुझे आश्वासन दिया कि किसी भी तरह वे चोर को ढूँढेंगे ।

I stopped near the red-light and was waiting for the traffic to pass. When I was waiting, all of a sudden a Maruti van came and collided with me. I fell down on the spot and blood started spurting from my head. The traffic police appeared within a few minutes. The police caught the Maruti van driver and took him to the police station. I was sent to the hospital for immediate medical aid. The doctor gave me injections and medicine and discharged me after half an hour.

बड़े शहरों में दुर्घटनाएँ होना आम बात है । ये अधिकांशः सड़क के नियमों की अनदेखी करने के कारण होती हैं । कल मैं अपनी साइकिल पर स्कूल से घर लौट रहा था । लाल बत्ती पर रुका और यातायात निकलने का इन्तजार कर रहा था । जब मैं इन्तजार कर रहा था तभी अचानक मारुति वैन आकर मुझसे टकरा गयी । मैं तुरन्त जमीन पर गिर पड़ा और मेरे सिर से रक्त बहने लगा । कुछ ही मिनटों में यातायात पुलिस वहाँ पहुँच गयी । पुलिस ने मारुति वैन के ड्राइवर को पकड़ लिया और उसे पुलिस स्टेशन ले गयी । मुझे तुरन्त चिकित्सीय सहायता हेतु अस्पताल भेज दिया गया । डॉक्टर ने मुझे इंजेक्शन लगाये और दवाइयाँ दी और आधे घण्टे के बाद मुझे छुट्टी दे दी ।

Why you were out that afternoon – who were out on the road like you-how you fell illYour thoughts during your illness.

When I Fell Ill On A Hot Summer Day 

It was 15th of June, perhaps the hottest day of summer. I had to go out in the scorching heat to call a doctor as my mother had a heart-attack. The roads were deserted, life seemed to come to a complete standstill. Since I could not get any scooter or taxi, I had to walk on foot a distance of three 387 Kilometres.

When I came back home with the doctor, I too had a high fever. The doctor said that it was a case of heat stroke. I remained in bed for a week. During my illness, I often thought of the poor labourers and their sufferings. I wondered how they managed to bear the biting cold of winter and the scorching heat of summer.

वह 15 जून का दिन था, शायद गर्मियों का सबसे गर्म दिन । मेरी माँ को heart attack हुआ था इसलिये मुझे झुलसाने वाली गर्मी में बाहर जाना पड़ा । सड़कें सुनसान थीं, लगता था जैसे जीवन पूरी तरह ठहर सा गया हो । क्योंकि मुझे कोई स्कूटर या टैक्सी नहीं मिली इसलिये मुझे तीन किलोमीटर पैदल ही चलना पड़ा ।

जब मैं डॉक्टर के साथ घर वापिस आया तो मुझे भी तेज बुखार था । डॉक्टर के बताया कि यह लू लगने के कारण हुआ है । मैं एक सप्ताह तक बिस्तर पर रहा । मेरी बीमारी के दौरान मैं अक्सर गरीब मजदूरों और उनकी परेशानियों के बारे में सोचता था । वे लोग अत्यधिक सर्दी व गर्मियों में चिलचिलाती धूप में खुद को कैसे जीवित रखते हैं ।

A Frightening Incident 

This frightening incident took place on 20th of May. Whenever I recall the incident I start shivering. My examination were over, so I went to bed early. Since I had been burning the midnight oil during the examination, I could not sleep early. At around 2 O'clock at night when I stepped out of my bed and came downstairs. I saw my parents tied and gagged.

Three dacoits were busy ransacking the almirahs. I went out of the room stealthily. I went to my neighbour's house and rang up the police. The police arrived immediately. I did it stealthily so daoits did not escape. They were arrested. Even after such a long time I feel scared to think what would have happened if I had not come downstairs.

यह डरावनी घटना 20 मई को हुई । जब कभी मैं उस घटना को याद करता हूँ तो काँपने लगता हूँ । मेरी परीक्षाएँ खत्म हो चुकी थी, इसलिये मैं जल्दी सोने चला गया । परीक्षा के दौरान में दिनरात कड़ी मेहनत करता था इसलिये जल्दी नहीं सो पाता था ।

रात्रि लगभग दो बजे जब मैं अपने कमरे से बाहर निकला और नीचे आया, मैंने अपने माता-पिता को बँधा हुआ और मुँह में कपड़ा ढुंसा हुआ देखा । तीन डकैत अलमारियों को तलाशने में व्यस्त थे । मैं चुपके से कमरे से बाहर गया । मैं अपने पड़ोसी के घर गया और वहाँ से पुलिस को फोन कर दिया । पुलिस तुरन्त आ गयी। मैंने यह चुपके से किया इसलिये डकैत भाग नहीं सके । उन्हें गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया । इतने लम्बे समय बाद भी मैं यह सोचकर डर जाता हूँ कि यदि मैं नीचे नहीं आता तो क्या हो जाता।

Passengers were crying and shouting. It took a few minutes before we came to realise that our train had collided with a goods train.

The goods train was coming from the opposite side. The engine of our train was off the track but it stood erect. Two bogies were derailed. Luckily, there was no loss of life. Only a few passengers received injuries. They were taken to hospital. After four hours a relief train arrived from Ambala to take the passengers. It was my very sad experience.

यह 20 मई 20_ _ की बात है जब मैं कालका मेल से यात्रा कर रहा था और गहरी नींद में सोया हुआ था । अचानक, मैंने टकराने की एक आवाज सुनी और मैं झटके के साथ उठ गया । ट्रेन रुक गयी थी । यात्री चीख पुकार मचा रहे थे । हमें यह समझने में कुछ पल लगे कि हमारी ट्रेन एक मालगाड़ी से टकरा गयी थी ।

मालगाड़ी विपरीत दिशा की ओर से आ रही थी । हमारी गाड़ी का इंजन पटरियों से उतर गया लेकिन वह सीधा खड़ा था । दो डिब्बे पटरियों से उतर गये थे । भाग्यवश, किसी की जान को कोई नुकसान नहीं हुआ । केवल कुछ यात्रियों को चोटें आईं।

Our car was running at a fast speed. We were going from Bharatpur while the bus containing 30 passengers took a sudden turn. Our car struck directly into the bus.

Though, it was the fault of the bus driver but the good thing the driver did was that he applied the brakes very quickly. Bumper of our car got damaged. The passengers sitting in the bus, got a heavy jerk and some of them were injured. By God's grace that day we got a narrow escape.

(पिछले महीने आगरा-जयपुर रोड पर लगभग 2 बजकर 30 मिनट (दोपहर) पर एक भयंकर दुर्घटना हुई । यह एक बस व उस मारुती कार के बीच हुई एक गंभीर व अचानक हुई भिड़न्त थी जिसमें मैं यात्रा कर रहा था । हमारी कार तेज गति से चल रही थी । हम भरतपुर से जा रहे थे जबकि वह बस जिसमें लगभग 30 यात्री थे, अचानक मुड़ गयी । हमारी कार सीधी ट्रक में जाकर लगी । हालांकि गलती बस के चालक की थी लेकिन एक अच्छी बात यह की कि ड्राईवर ने जल्दी से ब्रेक लगा दिये । हमारी कार का बम्पर टूट गया । बस में बैठे लोगों को जोर का धक्का लगा और उनमें से कुछ को चोटें आईं । ईश्वर की कृपा से उस दिन हम बाल-बाल बच गये ।)

During that time some Muslim festival perhaps 'Urse' was going on so the place was over crowded. Just as we entered the Dargah Sharif campus I put my purse in a big hand bag which my sister was holding. I did it from safety point of view.

Just as we entered the 'Mazaar' we felt a sudden rush. We felt suffocations. So we immediately came out even without performing Pooja properly. Just as we came out my sister noticed that the bag was partially opened and the purse was missing. We were shocked. There were two mobiles, cash and other important things in the purse so I felt extremely bad.

(यह घटना जुलाई 20_ _ में तब हुई जब मैं अपने परिवार के साथ अजमेर घूमने गयी । हम सब बहुत अच्छे मूड में थे । हमने अजमेर शरीफ दरगाह जाने की योजना बनाई । उस समय कोई मुस्लिम त्योहार शायद 'उर्स' चल रहा था इसलिये वहाँ बेहद भीड़ थी । जैसे ही हमने दरगाह शरीफ परिसर में प्रवेश किया, मैंने अपना पर्स एक बड़े हैण्ड-बैग में रख दिया जो कि मेरी बहन के हाथ में था । ऐसा मैंने सुरक्षा की दृष्टि से किया ।

जैसे ही हम मजार के पास पहुँचे, अचानक से हमने भीड़ की धक्का-मुक्की महसूस की । हमारा दम घुटने लगा । इसलिये हम विधि -विधान से पूजा किये बगैर ही तुरन्त बाहर निकल आये । जैसे ही हम बाहर आये मेरी बहन ने देखा कि हैण्ड-बैग आधा खुला हुआ था और उसमें से पर्स गायब था । हम हैरान रह गये । पर्स में दो मोबाइल, नकदी व अन्य महत्वपूर्ण सामान था इसलिये मुझे बेहद बुरा लगा ।)

On the fifth of July the water level in the drain began to rise and in the evening it started overflowing. Soon the water began to rush towards the village as well as in the fields. The village turned into an island. There was water all around the village.

The paths leading to our fields got overflooded with water. The villagers were thrown into a very difficult situation. It became extremely difficult for them to collect and bring fodder to their animals. Moreover, there was scarcity of fodder to their animals. We remained cut off from the neighbouring villages for five days. 

जुलाई का महीना हमारे लिये ढेर सारी परेशानियों का संदेश लेकर आया । मैं एक दूर-दराज के गाँव में रहता हूँ । एक बड़ा नाला हमारे गाँव से होकर गुजरता है । 5 जुलाई को नाले के पानी का स्तर बढ़ने लगा और शाम को यह ऊपर तक बहने लगा । जल्दी ही पानी गाँव व खेतों की ओर बढ़ने लगा । गाँव टापू में बदल गया ।

गाँव में चारों तरफ पानी ही पानी था । हमारे खेतों की ओर जाने वाले रास्तों पर भी पानी भर गया । गाँव वालों की बहुत बुरी स्थिति हो गयी । उनके लिये चारा इकट्ठा करके अपने पशुओं के लिये लाना भी मुश्किल हो गया । वहाँ उनके पशुओं को चारे की कमी हो गयी । हम पाँच दिनों तक पड़ौस के गाँवों से अलग-थलग रहे ।

Our school starts at 8 a.m. So, I rushed to the school even without taking my breakfast. When I reached school, the morning assembly was over. The students had gone to their classes.

I had fear of punishment. I stood at the door of the class. I was confused what to do. The teacher looked at me angrily. He looked at his watch and said, "late by half an hour." It seemed as other students were making fun of me. I apologized the teacher and was allowed in. That time I took resolution of never being late in future.

(मैं उस दिन को नहीं भूल सकता जब मैं स्कूल देर से पहुँचा । यह सर्दियों की एक सुबह थी । मुझे बिस्तर से उठने में थोड़ी देर हो गयी । जब मैं स्कूल के लिये तैयार हुआ तब 8 बज चुके थे । हमारा स्कूल प्रातः 8 बजे शुरू होता है । इसलिये मैं नाश्ता किये बगैर ही स्कूल चला गया । जब मैं स्कूल पहुँचा तो सुबह की सभा खत्म हो चुकी थी ।

विद्यार्थी अपनी-अपनी कक्षाओं में जा चुके थे। मुझे सजा का डर लग रहा था । मैं कक्षा के दरवाजे पर खड़ा था । मैं असमंजस में था कि क्या करूँ । अध्यापक ने मुझे गुस्से से देखा । उन्होंने अपनी घड़ी की ओर देखा और कहा, "आधा घण्टा देरी से" । मुझे ऐसा लगा मानो अन्य विद्यार्थी मेरा मजाक बना रहे थे । मैंने अध्यापक से माफी माँगी और मुझे अन्दर आने की अनुमति दे दी । उस दिन मैंने फिर कभी देर से न आने का प्रण किया ।)

On hearing the cries the child's mother came out. The two women started quarreling with each-other. Just then their husbands appeared on the scene. Instead of jumping into the fray they pacified the women, and thus, the quarrel ended. 

(मेरी एक पड़ोसन श्रीमती चोपड़ा बहुत ही झगड़ालू किस्म की औरत हैं । हर समय वह किसी न किसी के साथ झगड़ती रहती हैं । कुछ दिन पहले मैंने अपने पास वाली गली में दो पड़ोसियों को जोर से झगड़ते हुए सुना । यह बहुत छोटी-सी बात पर हुआ था । एक बच्चा गेंद से खेल रहा था । अचानक गेंद श्रीमती चोपड़ा के घर में चली गयी और उनकी खिड़की का काँच टूट गया । श्रीमती चोपड़ा गुस्से से लाल होकर बाहर आईं ।

I had noted the number of the scooter. The constable on duty registered a report and assured to punish the offender. I was thinking how selfish the scooterist was.

(पिछले रविवार को मैं अपने मित्र के घर जा रहा था । मैं बस स्टैंड पर बस का इंतजार कर रहा था । वहाँ सवारियों की काफी भीड़ बस का इन्तजार कर रही थी। तभी अचानक एक स्कूटर सवार ने आकर साइकिल सवार को टक्कर मार दी । वह जमीन पर गिर पड़ा लेकिन स्कूटर सवार लोगों के गुस्से से बचकर भाग निकला ।

After listening to us patiently and examining my brother he asked me whether we should admit the patient. Admission seemed to be the first and the last option for us so we opted for this. Soon they began giving him treatment. My brother needed a lot of blood. We managed it from blood-bank. They began transfusing blood into the patient. The doctor was amazingly supportive and encouraging. After some days my brother recovered.

(गत माह मेरा छोटा भाई भयंकर बीमार हो गया इसलिए हम उसे S. M. S अस्पताल, जयपुर ले गए । हमने डॉक्टर से परामर्श लिया । हमें धैर्य से सुनने के बाद और मेरे भाई की जाँच करने के बाद उन्होंने मेरे भाई को भर्ती करने के लिये कहा । भर्ती ही पहला व अन्तिम विकल्प था इसलिए हमने उसे भर्ती करा दिया । उन्होंने तुरन्त उसका इलाज शुरू कर दिया । मेरे भाई को बहुत सारे रक्त की आवश्यकता थी । हमने blood-bank से इसकी व्यवस्था की । उन्होंने मरीज को रक्त चढ़ाना शुरू कर दिया । डॉक्टर बेहद सहायता करने वाले और उत्साहवर्धन करने वाले थे । कुछ दिनों बाद मेरा भाई ठीक हो गया ।)

When My Bus Broke Down 

One day I was going to meet my friend. He lives in a small village. His village lies in the forest area. I boarded the bus. When I was about to reach my destination, suddenly, the bus broke down on the way. Both the driver and the conductor got down from the bus.

The driver checked the engine and found some fault in it. The conductor was helping him. After three hours, he repaired the engine. We all passengers were afraid to see the loneliness of the forest area. When they reported that the bus was ready to go, we thanked both the driver and the conductor. Now we were quite happy. Thus, we reached our destination safe and sound.

How I Saved A Boy From Drowning 

One morning my friends decided to go for swimming. It was a fine morning. A cool breeze was blowing. I also went with them. One of my friends, Rohit did not know how to swim. He did not jump into the river. He sat beside the bank of the river. We were enjoying in the water. Suddenly, Rohit slipped into the river. We saw him struggling with water.

I and my one friend at once swam up to him and pulled him out of water. He was unconscious because he had taken in a lot of water. Then we took him to hospital. The doctor took out the water from his stomach. He gave him some injections. Finally, Rohit opened his eyes. He thanked God. He thanked us also. In the meantime Rohit's parents had reached there. They thanked the doctor for saving their son's life.

एक दिन मेरे मित्रों ने तैरने जाने का निश्चय किया । यह एक बहुत अच्छी सुबह थी । ठंडी हवा चल रही थी। मैं भी उनके साथ गया । मेरा एक मित्र रोहित तैरना नहीं जानता था । वह नदी में नहीं उतरा । वह नदी के किनारे बैठा रहा । हम पानी में मस्ती कर रहे थे । अचानक, रोहित नदी में फिसल पड़ा । हमने उसे पानी में संघर्ष करते देखा । मैं और मेरा एक मित्र तुरन्त तैरकर उसके पास गए और उसे पानी से बाहर खींच लाये ।

वह बेहोश हो गया क्योंकि उसके अन्दर काफी पानी भर गया था । फिर हम उसे अस्पताल ले गये । डॉक्टर ने उसके पेट से पानी निकाला । उन्होंने उसे कुछ इंजेक्शन लगाए। आखिरकार रोहित ने अपनी आँखें खोलीं । उसने ईश्वर को धन्यवाद दिया । उसने हमें भी धन्यवाद दिया । इतने में ही रोहित के माता-पिता वहाँ पहुँच गये । उन्होंने डॉक्टर को उनके बेटे की जान बचाने के लिये धन्यवाद दिया ।

Travelling Without Ticket One Day 

I had to go to Kota urgently. When I reached the railway station, I was late. The train was ready. It was about to depart. If I had bought the ticket, the train would have moved from the station. Therefore, I boarded the train without buying the ticket. My heart was beating fast. I know that travelling without ticket is a punishable offence. Then, suddenly the ticket examiner entered my compartment when the train reached Sawai Madhopur.

When he came to me, I requested him very humbly to issue me a ticket for Chandigarh. First, he asked many questions and scolded me too. But when I told him the truth why I could not buy a ticket, he agreed. He charged some penalty from me and issued me a ticket. He warned me not to travel again without ticket. That day this incident gave me a great lesson.

एक दिन मुझे अति आवश्यक रूप से कोटा जाना था । जब मैं रेलवे स्टेशन पहुँचा तो मैं लेट था । ट्रेन चलने के लिये तैयार थी । वह छुटने ही वाली थी । यदि मैं टिकिट खरीदता तो ट्रेन स्टेशन से चल पड़ती इसलिए मैं बिना टिकट खरीदे ही ट्रेन में चढ़ गया । मेरा दिल तेजी से धड़क रहा था । मैं जानता था कि बिना टिकिट यात्रा करना एक दण्डनीय अपराध है । जब ट्रेन सवाईमाधोपुर पहुंची तभी टिकिट निरीक्षक ने डिब्बे में प्रवेश किया ।

जब वह मेरे पास आया, तो मैंने उससे बहुत विनम्र तरीके से चंडीगढ़ का एक टिकिट देने की विनती की । पहले उसने ढेर सारे सवाल किये और मुझे डांटा भी । लेकिन जब मैंने उसे सच बताया कि मैं टिकिट क्यों नहीं खरीद सका, तब वह टिकिट के लिये राजी हो गया । उसने मुझसे कुछ जुर्माना लिया और टिकिट दे दिया । उसने मुझे आगे से बिना टिकिट यात्रा नहीं करने की वेतावनी दी । उस दिन की इस घटना ने मुझे एक बड़ा सबक सिखाया ।
