Subhprabhat, Namaskar and Good Morning
Hello everyone
Sorry I was absent for few days because of the work load that I had in office,so please excuse me.
I got up at 6 am as usual and after doing Yoga-cum-meditation went out for natural air outside. The air in the morning is very cool here, Bhagalpur is a place where you walk out for few meters you will be in the laps of mother nature. Green fields every where, few fields green with ladies finger cultivation,few with wheat at its harvesting stage etc. After walking around one kilometer aimlessly I found a tea stall run by a poor family on the road side. My self being very fond of tea happened to stop and take one cup of tea. There were three more people sitting there and enjoying their tea. At one shot I recognized that these people are surely from the engineering college,haven't slept the whole night. When I sat a boy of 8 years(confirmed from his mother) served me the tea. I strongly refused to accept the tea from him, his father came running to me saying " sir, aapko kya huwa". I was speechless and did not say anything . When he repeated the same question ,I very gently after cooling my self said "Bhaiya, chotu ka naam kya hai?". He replied "Sir, kya huwa?". At some distant I could see the fear in that child's eye, he was afraid that he have committed some mistakes unknowingly and will be beaten by his father. Again I asked "Bhaiya, chotu ka naam kya hai?". "Sir,Bhola shankar" tea stall owner replied. See the quick reaction that came out from my mind, and I said "aapne iska naam rakha hai bhagwan ke naam par aur khelne kudne ke umar mein aap iss se kaam karwa rahe hai". He was startled at my talks and so were the boys who were having tea. Tea owner's wife came running with the tea and she also stood listening me. I asked him how many children does he have ,he said two. His other child was around 5 years old and he was still sleeping. I told him why don't you send Bhola shankar to school? He replied "Bhaiya, woh padh likh kar kya karega Bada hoke isko v tho yahi Chai ka dukaan hi chalana hai". I was not shocked as his both parents were not educated. Then I explained and requested that please send Bhola shankar to school. Send him to government school,then I explained about the funds that comes to school for the developments of children. I told the couple , don't worry about teachers not teaching in schools. Once Bhola shankar starts going to school he will learn many things by himself only.Every child has capability, their parents just need to channelize it in right direction. I told the family You are very lucky and you should be proud that you have only two more mouths to feed. Think of the family who have more than four children. After sitting there and lecturing(but I meant every single word) for around 45 minutes, I was about to leave as I had to get ready for office those three students came near me and asked "which year?". I asked "what?". They said "You are in Bhagalpur engineering College?" I said "No'. Then we had few talks and and they pulled out their bike and left.I made the couple to promise me that they will send their child to school from tomorrow itself. They have promised me and I hope these people keeps their promise. Tomorrow again I will visit them at same time and directly ask Bhola shankar about his school.
Friends please do something for those people who could not study and that legacy is being followed by their parents. Please lets join hands together in this mission and move on. Everyone is doing something or the other in some city and they must be coming across people like this. Now on wards please don't ignore and walk away but please convince the elders and send these children at least in government schools.
Thanks
I will tell you tomorrow weather he went to school or not
see you
