Some Thoughts<br />
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
“Hello everyone, sabse pehle sabhi ko bahut<br />
bahut shukriya, mere stories ko itna saara pyar<br />
dene ke liye aur pasand karne ke liye. ‘Love is<br />
waste of time’ & ‘Love makes life beautiful’ ke<br />
baad yeh mera 3 rd story hai.<br />
Yeh ek sacchi kahani pe bani hai, jo dosti aur<br />
pyar ke kuch khoobsurat paano ko benakaab<br />
karegi.<br />
‘Dosti’ jisko sabdon pe bayan kar pana<br />
shayad namumkin hai aur ‘pyar’ jiske bare mein<br />
ab bolna suru karun to sayed puri raat toh nikal<br />
jayegi par khatam nahi hogi. Yeh dono hi bade<br />
khubsoorat rishte hote hein, jo kahin na kahin<br />
ek dusre se juden hote hein. Dosti ke bina pyar<br />
jaise adhura hota hai, waise hi Pyar ke bina bhi<br />
Dosti ke maaine kuch fiki hin lagti hai.<br />
Is duniya mein humme se hi kuch aise hero<br />
hote hein, jo aam insaan hote hain par unki<br />

kahani sabse alag hoti hai. Wo apne bure waqt<br />
ko paar kar ke aaye hein, aur jab bhi wo haat<br />
upar karne ka sochte hein tabhi wo aage badhne<br />
ka sahara paate hein. Tabhi to wo hero kehlate<br />
hein, kyun ke wo apne kamzori ko hi apni taqat<br />
banate hein.<br />
Aise hi kuch alag si kahani…<br />

May 2015:-<br />
“Woh rehe na rehe,<br />
main rahunga yahin pe humesha ke liye,<br />
woh aaye na aaye main rukunga yahin pe,<br />
bas yahin pe…”<br />
‘Yaar tu jab tak yeh sochta rehega ki, tujhe usse bhulna<br />
hai, tab tak tu usse bhul nahi payega’. Anurag bola.<br />
Us din main bahut dukhi tha, kisi ki yaad jaise mujhe<br />
bahut sata rahi thi, bas kisi ka chehra hi nazar aa raha tha.<br />
Main aur mere do khas dost ‘Sudeep saha’ and ‘Anurag<br />
thakur’ us din humare seher ke paas wale ek Dam gaye hue<br />
the. Aksar hum wahan jaate hein, jab bhi humara mood<br />
kharap hota he ya phir humein chill karna hota he. Jitna<br />
khubsoorat jagah he utna hi shaanti wahan ki hawaon mein<br />
hai. Wahan se laut te hi jaise mann pura halka ho jata he.<br />
Wahan pahunchte hi aisa lagta he jaise kisi alag duniya me aa<br />
gayein ho, mano duniya se door, Zindagi ki sari takleefon se<br />
door. Niche ja kar hum patthar ke upar baith jaate hein aur<br />
jaise kisi ek gehri soch mein kho jaate hein. Anurag to aksar<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 3
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
wahan pahunchte hi philosopher ban jata he aur Sudeep ke<br />
pass kuch aise anokhe baat zaroor hote hain jo har problem ka<br />
koi na koi solution nikal deti he.<br />
Hum sab ki kahani jaise ek jaisi thi, bhale hi raaste alag<br />
ho, par jaise aakhir mein ek hin manjil pe aa ke rukti thi<br />
humari zindagi ki gaadi. Hum sab apne apne duniya mein kho<br />
gaye the, tabhi sudeep ne apne khayalon ko sabdon ki jubaan<br />
se arz karne laga …<br />
“In khamoshi se kuch pa liya he humne, lehron se kinare<br />
ko dhund liya he humne, wo kehte the ki koi ayega aur<br />
tumhari zindegi badal dega. Par zindegi ko khud me hi dhund<br />
liya hai humne…”Sudeep…<br />
Ye the sudeep ke kuch anokhi baatein. Par actually usse<br />
pehle main unn dono ko yeh bol raha tha ke, ‘woh aaj bhi uss<br />
tarahse mere dilon aur dimag mein rehti he, main chahe kitna<br />
bhi koshish kyun na karlun, par usse bhula nahi pa raha hun.’<br />
Main phir uski khayalon mein kho kar bola, ‘main usse<br />
kabhi khona nahi chahta tha,par ab koi aur rashta bhi nahi he,<br />
mujhe apne dil par pathar rakh ke usse bhulana hi hoga.’<br />
Par sach me ye sab itna ashaan nahi hota hai, pehli baar<br />
kisi ko itne dil se chahne ke baad usse bhul pana jaise<br />
namumkin sa lagta hai. <strong>Me</strong>ra dil to yehi dua kar raha tha ki<br />
bas usi ke liye jeeyun aur usi ke liye marun.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 4
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
Kisi ka intezar karna bahut muskil hota hai jab tumhe pata<br />
ho ki wo tumhara kavi nahi ho sakta. Par ye usse bhi jyada<br />
dardnak hai, jab tumhe pata ho ke yahi wo sab kuch hai jo<br />
tum chahte ho.<br />
Jo kuch bhi kabhi main tha, shayad ab waisa nahi raha.<br />
Shayad khud ko kahin peeche chhod diya tha maine. Ab to<br />
bas jeene ki hi khwahishon mein pal pal marne laga tha.<br />
Yeh to jaanta tha ki woh sahi hai, phir b naajane kyun dil<br />
sawal kar raha tha ke woh aaj mera kyun nahi hai?. Woh to<br />
humesha se mere paas rehti thi, par aaj mujhse dur kyun hai.<br />
“jab kisi ki yaad sataye to kya kare,<br />
jab koi beetein lamhein yaad aaye to kya kare,<br />
woh saathi aur uske yaadein to kabhi laut ke nahi aayenge,<br />
par iss nasamajh dil ko yeh kaise samjhaein…”<br />
Main to jaise bas usi ke tarah banne laga tha, uski orr<br />
kadam pe kadam badhane laga tha. Parrr…<br />
Dekh yaar, ‘hum ladke hein, hume zindegi mein bahut se<br />
mushkilon ka samna karna padta he, bahut mehnat karna<br />
padta he, aur bahut kuch sehna bhi padta he.’ Sudeep bola.<br />
Uske iss baat pe damm tha, yeh baat mujhe bahut sahi<br />
lagi, jaise dil ko choon gaya, ek himmat sa aa gaya apne aap<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 5
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
ko sambhalne ka, aage badhne ka. Sochne laga sahi he,<br />
zindegi kab kisse konse mod par le aaye kya pata. Par zindegi<br />
mein aage to badhna hi hoga, har muskilon ka samna karna hi<br />
hoga.<br />
Yeh dono mere woh dost hein jo mujhe aise waqt par<br />
sambhala jab main apne aap ko kho raha tha, yeh wo hain<br />
jinho ne mujhe doobara khade hone ke liye mera sahara bane.<br />
Dost aise hi anokhe hote hein, dosti ka koi mol nahi hota,<br />
woh to anmol hote hein.<br />
“Ye dil to kabse tootasa pada hai, par ab usse jod na<br />
padega. Apne liye na sahi, apno ke liye usse jaagna padega.<br />
Pyar ke sath na sahi duniya ke liye jeena padega. Milna<br />
bichadna to riwaz hai sansar ka. Zindegi ke safar me kitno<br />
ka sath choot jayega, par apna safar khatam hone tak<br />
chalna padega. Yeh dil tujhe ab uthke aage badhna<br />
padega.”<br />

‘Kya baat hai bhai, kisko jaane se rok rahe ho ?’, sudeep<br />
bola.<br />
‘Nahi yaar, bas aise hi gaana gaa raha hun’, maine bola.<br />
Waise main to apne bare mein batana hi bhul gaya, mera<br />
naam ‘Aditya’ hai, main West Bengal ke ek chote se seher ka<br />
rehne wala hun.<br />
In 6 mahinon me main apne zindegi ko aage badhane ki<br />
koshis me tha. Main apne aap ko kisi dusri aur le jana chahta<br />
tha.<br />
Main akela nahin tha, bas uske bina pura akela pad<br />
gaya tha. Par uske jaane ke baad usse dhundte dhunde jaise<br />
main khud mein hi usiko paa liya tha.<br />
Jaise zindegi ke raaste kabhi kabhi apni manzil ko choon<br />
kar bhi wapas laut aati hai, bilkul usi tarah kitne naate judte<br />
judte bhi toot jaate hein.<br />
Uske sath jude hue wo palon ko to mitane se bhi kabhi<br />
nahi mitengi. Par Najaane kyun jaise mere aaj mein mera kal<br />
jaise kaid sa ban ke reh gaya hai.<br />
Bachpan se hi mere bahut kam dost hain, Maine sirf Usse<br />
hi nahi khoya tha, usko khone ke sath sath main apne ek best<br />
friend ko bhi kho diya tha. Us din anurag aur sudeep mujhse<br />
milne mere ghar aaye the, aur un dono ka exam tha to woh<br />
dono Kolkata jaane wale the aur main bhi unke sath jaane<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 7
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
wala tha. Waise naukri sab ke pass thi par aage badhne ke<br />
liye sabhi exams de rehe the. Waise Anurag ek bahut acha<br />
artist bhi hai.<br />
‘Chal tujhe sirf itna bolne aaya tha ki Kolkata se lautne ke<br />
baad agle Sunday ko main party de raha hun, aana’, anurag<br />
bola.<br />
‘oh birthday party ?’<br />
‘Han… Chal hum chalte hein, saha babu to kal chale<br />
jayenge, isiliye hum yahan tujhse milne chale aaye’, anurag<br />
bola.<br />
Waise sudeep ko hum dono aksar ‘saha babu’ bulate hein.<br />
Uska posting humare town se bahar hua hai, aur woh<br />
weekends pe hi aata hai. Anurag ko bhi main aksar ‘anu’<br />
bulata hun, uske piche ek raaz hai, lekin woh baad main pata<br />
chalega.<br />
Mujhe kaahaniya padhna bahut pasand hai, actually pehle<br />
mujhe itni pasand nahi thi, par jabse khud ko akela paya hun<br />
tabse in kitabon ka sath hi meri duiya ban gayi, kitaabein<br />
humesha humara sath deti hain, na hi yeh humse kuch sikayat<br />
karte hain na hi koi maang. Uske alawa mujhe Sangeet ka bhi<br />
bahut shauk hai. Humesha se ek musician banne ka sapna tha<br />
mera.<br />

Waise mere bare mein ek baat jaan lena jaruri hai. Main<br />
gaane do hi waqt pe sunta hun, ya to main jab thoda khus<br />
hota hun ya phir jab thoda gam mein hota hun.<br />
Kehte hein na har manpasand gaane ke piche ek ankahi<br />
kahani chupi hoti hai, usi tarah in sab ke piche meri bhi ek<br />
kahani thi, jo dil mein dafan thi. Har kisiki koi na koi kahani<br />
zaoor hoti hai, par sab log unko pannon mein kaid nahi kar<br />
paate.<br />
Ye toh shayed Swati hai, par ye yahan kaise ?, Main apne<br />
aap se bol raha tha.<br />
Ab aap sabhi soch rehe honge yeh Swati kaun hai. Yeh<br />
woh hai, jisko achanak se dekh ke mujhe woh sab purani<br />
baatein yaad aa gaye. Woh haseen pal jo aaj bhi mujhse jude<br />
hein.<br />
I<br />
Actually yeh baat he 6 th December 2015 ki, jab main apne<br />
dost tanu ki shaadi mein Guwahati gaya tha, woh humare sath<br />
college mein padhti thi. Main shaam ke 5 baje us mandap<br />
mein pahuncha, jahan pe shaadi thi. Building ke 1 st floor pe<br />
tha woh shaadi, main wahan pe ja ke hall pe baitha tha,<br />
wahan pe bahut bore bhi ho raha tha, koi dost nahi mil raha<br />
tha. Tab mujhe mere 12 th class ke ek friend se mulaqat hui,<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 9
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
‘Rashmi’se. College ke baad pehli baar mulaqat hua tha to<br />
thoda sab purane doston ke bare mein baat kar rehe the.<br />
Tabhi ek ladki aayi, jo piche se bahut khoobsurat dikh<br />
rehi thi. Par piche se to har ladki khoobsurat dikhti hai.<br />
Maine dhyan na de kar phir se Rashmi ke sath baat karna<br />
shuru kar diya, tabhi kuch der baad achanak meri nazar<br />
samne ke khidki ke paas pada, jahan pe wohi ladki khadi thi,<br />
dekhte hi main mann hi mann me sochne laga, yeh to shayed<br />
Swati hai.<br />
Main Rashmi se baat kar raha tha, aur bich bich mein us<br />
ladki ko dekh raha tha, tab tak woh bhi sayed mujhe dekh li<br />
thi.<br />
Kuch der baad tanu mujhe bulayi aur boli, ‘jao kha lo,<br />
abhi thoda bheed kam hai.’<br />
Main jaa kar khana kha raha tha aur achanak mera swati<br />
ke sath aamna samna ho gaya. Woh mujhe dekh ke ek halki si<br />
muskaan de di. Main bhi usse dekh ke waisa hi ek muskaan<br />
dene laga.<br />
‘Main tab se dekh rahi thi, aur soch rahi thi Aditya he<br />
sayed’, woh boli.<br />
‘Mujhe bhi tab se lag raha tha, sayed tum hi ho’, maine<br />
bola.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 10
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
Kuch aur baat hone se pehle uski ek dost aayi aur usse<br />
bulayi aur woh chali gayi.<br />
Main khana khatam karke ja ke tanu ke sath thoda baat<br />
kar raha tha. Tabhi time dekha to 9.45pm ho raha tha. Mujhe<br />
raat ko hi wapas Kolkata lautna tha.<br />
Phir main tanu ko bye bolkar hall me aakar apna bag lekar<br />
bahar chala aaya, bahar nikal ke karib 2-4 feet gaya tha, tab<br />
piche se ek awaz aaya, “Aditya”.<br />
Main achanak se ruk gaya aur piche mud ke dekha to<br />
Swati khadi thi.<br />
Main uske paas gaya. Woh boli, ‘wapas ja rehe ho ?’<br />
Maine kaha, ‘Haan’<br />
‘aur kaise ho ?’<br />
‘haan thik thak, aur tum ?’.<br />
‘han achi hun’<br />
Phir woh achanak se bol padi, ‘aur Sonali kaisi hai ?’<br />
Uski naam sunke Jaise mere dil ke dhadkane tez ho gayi,<br />
jaise achanak se koi shock sa laga ho, mera pura body jaise us<br />
pal mein kampne laga. Uss ek pal ki khamoshi mein nazane<br />
kitne sawal the.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 11
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
Main ye sochne lag gaya ki, na jaane woh meri duniya aaj<br />
kahan hai, na jaane woh ab meri hai bhi ke nahi, na jaane<br />
meri zindegi mujhse aaj itni khafa kyun hai, jaise meri manzil<br />
kisi rahon par hi kho gayi hai.<br />
Main kuch hi seconds me apne aap ko jaise taise karke<br />
sambhal liya, taki Swati ko pata na chale.<br />
“Zindegi mein aise bhi waqt aate hein jab humein apne<br />
gamon ko duniya ke samne chupana padta hai,<br />
par kabhi kabhi aise bhi waqt aate hein jab humein<br />
apne gamon ko apne aap se bhi chupana padta hai...”<br />
Actually Swati uski friend hai, uske sath Kolkata me rehti<br />
thi, jab MBA kar rehi thi.<br />
Kuch seconds ke baad maine uski sawal ka jawab diya,<br />
‘tumhe pata nahi kya ?’<br />
‘nahi, waise ‘Srikant’ tumse baat kiye the sayed, bol rehe<br />
the ki kuch dikkat chal raha tha, swati boli.<br />
Srikant, Swati ka boyfriend hai. Par us waqt main swati ki<br />
baaton ka bahut muskil se jawab de raha tha.<br />
‘haan main Srikant bhai se baat kiya tha, unko bataya tha<br />
iss bare me’, maine bola.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 12

‘waise hua kya hai ?, sonali meri phone bhi nahi utha rehi<br />
hai aaj kal, meri mail aur sms ka bhi kuch reply nahi de rehi<br />
he’, swati boli.<br />
‘pata nahi, mujhe uske bare mein kuch bhi pata nahi hai,<br />
woh kahan hai, kya kar rehi hai, kuch pata nahi. Wiase tum<br />
usse aakhri baar kab baat kiye the ?’, maine pucha.<br />
‘karib 4-5 mahine pehle, aur woh bol rehi thi kuch<br />
dikkatein chal rahi hai, kuch sahi nahi hai’, swati boli.<br />
‘pichle march se mujhe uske bare mein kuch bhi pata nahi<br />
hai’, maine bola.<br />
‘tumhare paas uski number he kya ?’, swati boli.<br />
‘wahi do purane number hai, jo maine bahut din pehle ek<br />
dusre number se call kiya tha, par switch off aaya. Phir kuch<br />
din baad kiya to ring hua par kisi ne uthaya hi nahi. Bas ek<br />
baar uski awaz sunne ke liye call kiya tha. Par uske baad se<br />
dubara kabhi koshish nahi kiya’, maine bola.<br />
Main inn sab cheezon pe aur koi baat nahi karna chahta<br />
tha. Kya fayeda un baaton ka jo sirf dard ke siva kuch na de.<br />
Phir main baat ko ghumate hue bola, ‘choro wo sab, tum<br />
apni batao.’<br />
‘kaise ho aap dono ? aur tum ab Kolkata mein ho ke kahin<br />
aur ?’<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 13
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
‘haan thik hain hum, aur haan main Kolkata mein hi hun.<br />
Aur tum kya kar rehe ho ab ?’,woh boli.<br />
‘Bas aise hi, bhaag daud bhari zindegi’, maine bola.<br />
‘Acha… so ab kya ghar chale jaoge ?’, woh boli.<br />
Main mobile me time dekh ke sar pe hath rakhte hue bola,<br />
‘areee, already late ho gaya. Okk chalo tum shaadi enjoy<br />
karo. Mujhe bhagna hoga. 10:15 ko mera bus he. Fir kabhi<br />
milenge. Byeee’<br />
Usne bhi bye bolne ke andaz me hat hila ke mujhe good<br />
night wish kiya.<br />
Bhagte hue bus stop pohncha to bus bas chalne hi wali<br />
thi.<br />
Aram se bus me beth ke ek rahat ki sans li. Lambi journey<br />
thi. Par itne dino ke baad uski dost se milke aaj uski woh sab<br />
yaadein taza ho gaye the. Ik tarah ka zehen mein uski<br />
tasveeron ki parchai thi.<br />
Dil chahe jitne bhi dard mein kyun na ho, par uske sath<br />
beete huye wo lamhein jab bhi yaad aate hain, to ye lab jaise<br />
apne aap muskurane lagta hai. Aaj bhi uske sath beetaye hue<br />
woh haseen pal jab bhi yaad aate hai, to yeh dil jaise apne<br />
saare gam bhul jata hai.<br />

sone ki koshish karne laga, par nind kahan aane wali thi, mere<br />
aankhon ke samne bas usi ka chehra jhalak raha tha…<br />
Pyar aata hi hai dard lekar…<br />
‘Teri yaad aaj nazane kyun aane lagi hai,<br />
akelepan ka ehsaas ab hone lagi hai,<br />
woh bhi kya haseen pal jeene lage the,<br />
jinke wapas aana ab sapnon sa lagne lagi hai.’<br />

‘kaise ho ?’<br />
‘han, thik hun, aur aap ?’<br />
‘main bhi… aur koi girl friend banaye ke nahi ?’<br />
‘nahi bhabi, aap hi dhund lo mere liye koi achi si’<br />
Ye ‘Shruti’ hein, mera ek acha dost hai ‘Dibya’, uska<br />
girlfriend hein Shruti. Us din main Dibya ke sath Park gaya<br />
hua tha. Dibya ko uski girlfriend se milna tha aur woh mujhe<br />
apne sath le gaya tha.<br />
Dibya, Shruti aur main, hum sab school ke time se ek hi<br />
school mein padhte the. 10 th standard ke time se un dono ka<br />
chakkar chal raha tha. Dibya jab bhi Shruti se milne jata tha,<br />
kain baar mujhe apne sath le jata tha. Usi tarah woh bhi kain<br />
baar unke sath ‘Smita’ ko bhi le ke aate the.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 16

Waise Smita bhi humare sath school mein padhti thi. Un<br />
dono mein jab bhi jhagda hote the, to Smita ne kain baar unke<br />
jhagde ko khatam karne mein unki madat ki thi.<br />
9 th October 2011:-<br />
Aaj kal ke jamane mein internet pe social networking<br />
sites ke bahut charche hein. Unme se sayed sabse pehle aata<br />
hai ‘Facebook’.<br />
I<br />
Ye date aage ja kar mere liye khas ban gaya. Us din main<br />
facebook pe ek profile dekha, ‘Sonali Joshi’ naam ki ek ladki<br />
ki. Ye ‘Sonali’ naam jaise mere dil ko choon gaya. Maine<br />
dekha mutual friends bhi bahut the. Mujhe laga sayed koi<br />
dost hogi, to maine usse friend request bhej diya. Shaam ko<br />
dekha ki usne mera request accept kar di thi. Par usne usse<br />
pehle mere bare mein thodi research kar li thi Shruti aur<br />
Smita se. (ye baat usne mujhe baad mein batayi.)<br />
Woh actually Shruti aur Smita ki achi dost thi aur 7 th<br />
standard tak humare hi school mein padhti thi, par uske baad<br />
koi dusre school mein chali gayi. (ye sab baat usse dosti<br />
karne ke kuch din baad usse chatting karne ke dauran pata<br />
chala.)<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 17
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
Dhire dhire Sonali ke sath dosti achi ban gayi thi. kuch<br />
din baad usse uski number bhi mujhe mila. So hum sms pe<br />
bhi chatting karne lage the.<br />
<strong>Me</strong>ra ek bahut acha dost hai ‘Goutam’. Dost kya woh to<br />
mere bhai jaisa hai. Main usse ye sab suru se hi batata tha.<br />
Goutam ekdum khusmizaz ladka hai. Life ka koi bhi tension<br />
nahi leta hai, padhai bhi acha karta hai aur humesha majak ke<br />
mood me rehta hai. Par jab bhi koi serious baat hoti hai, woh<br />
serious ho ke apna sujhao deta hai. Uska yeh andaz mujhe<br />
bahut acha lagta hai.<br />
Goutam aur main aksar facebook pe bhi majak masti karte<br />
rehte the. Aur jab Sonali online aati thi, to main Goutam se<br />
bolta tha ‘SJ’ online hai. (hum dono ne uski naam ‘Sonali<br />
Joshi’ se short mein ‘SJ’ bana diye the.)<br />
Sonali ko us time pe ek ladka pareshan kar raha tha. Ek<br />
Pravin naam ka ladka, jo humare hi school mein padhta tha.<br />
Jab yeh baat Sonali ne mujhe batayi to usi silsile mein baat<br />
karne ke liye maine Sonali se pehli baar phone pe baat kiya<br />
tha. Jab woh phone receive ki aur uski awaaz pehli baar<br />
maine suna to main mann hi mann mein bas ek hi baat dohra<br />
raha tha ki kitni mithi awaaz hai uski. Uski voice maano jaise<br />
pehli baar sunte hi mujhe bahut pasand aa gaya tha.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 18
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
Najaane kyun main Sonali se jyada attention pane ki<br />
koshish kar raha tha. Par main sirf uski dosti chahta tha, uska<br />
ek acha dost banna chahta tha.<br />
Phir main Goutam se us Pravin ke bare mein baat kiya aur<br />
woh Sonali ko thoda pareshan kar raha hai, ye bataya.<br />
‘tu ek kaam kar Pravin se ja kar bolde ki Sonali teri<br />
girlfriend hai’, goutam bola.<br />
‘pagal hai kya, sonali to bas meri ek friend hai’, maine<br />
bola.<br />
Aise mein din gujarne laga, kuch din baad humare seher<br />
pe ek bada utsav tha, bhagwan shree Krishna ka, jo 8-10 din<br />
tak chalta he. Jahan pe nach gaana sab kuch chalta hai. <strong>Me</strong>la<br />
bhi baithta hai, jahan pe bahut bheed jami rehti hai.<br />
Ek din ki baat hai, jab maine Sonali ko bola ke ‘aaj mele<br />
mein jaogi kya ?’<br />
‘Tum bhi jaa rehe ho kya ?’, woh boli.<br />
‘haan’<br />
‘thik hai, toh phir main bhi jaungi, aur mele pe milenge’,<br />
woh boli.<br />
Maine to usse bas aise hi bol diya tha, socha nahi tha ki<br />
mere jaane ki baat sunke woh bhi aane ke liye maan jayegi.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 19
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
‘thik hai, to phir mele pe milte hain’, main thoda khusi se<br />
bola.<br />
Us din main, anurag, sudeep, dibya, goutam hum sab gaye<br />
the, phir wahan pe pahunch ke sab nach gaane main lag gaye,<br />
to phone kahin aur chor ke chale gaye the.<br />
Saal mein ek baar ye utsav jor sor se manaya jata hai.<br />
Jahan pe ek alag sa maahol hota hai. Wahan pahunchte hi sab<br />
jaise apna dukh dard sab bhul jaate hain. Insaan chahe bada<br />
ho ya chota, amir ho ya garib, wahan pe sab ek hein. Sabhi<br />
apne apne takleef bhul ke jaise bhagwan ke sarno main apne<br />
aap ko saump dete hain, unke aradhana ke dhun mein jaise<br />
sab kho jaate hein.<br />
Hum sabhi nach rehe the, tabhi achanak meri nazar thode<br />
dur khadi hui shruti pe padi, unke baaju mein smita bhi thi, to<br />
main turant sonali ko dhundne laga aur woh smita ke baaju<br />
mein hi thi. Usse pehle maine sonali ki photo dekhi thi isliye<br />
pehchan liya, par dur se aur bheed mein woh thik se dikh nahi<br />
rahi thi mujhe. Par usne mujhe pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha,<br />
isliye woh mujhe dhundne lagi thi aur smita se bhi puch rahi<br />
thi ke Aditya kaun hai. Par smita ke dikhane par bhi woh<br />
mujhe bheed mein dekh nahi payi.<br />
Phir jab raat ko sonali se baat hui, toh woh pura gussa ho<br />
gayi thi, kyun ke maine phone nahi dekha tha, aur woh uss<br />
waqt mujhe 5 sms aur 2 baar call ki thi. Aur usko jab yeh baat<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 20
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
pata chala ki maine usse dekha tha toh woh aur bhi jyada<br />
gussa ho gayi. Par maine bhi jyada waqt na lete hue usse<br />
mana liya.<br />
Ladkiyon ko to bas jaise chote chote bahane chahiye<br />
narajgi dikhane ke. Par unme woh bahut pyari bhi lagti hein<br />
aur ladkon ko bhi jaise unhe manana acha lagta hai.<br />
I<br />
‘I am sorry yar, par main shayed aur tumse baat nahi kar<br />
paaungi, kuch problem ho raha hai isiliye. Sorry yar, i know<br />
ki tumhe gussa aaraha hoga, par please yar galat mat<br />
samajhna, tum mere bahut ache dost ban gaye the, thank you<br />
so much for your friendship yar, and tumhare friendship me<br />
bhi koi kami nahi thi, isiliye shayad itne kam samay me hum<br />
bahut ache dost ban gaye.. Sorry yar..take care.’<br />
Ye baat 27 th july 2012 ki hai, jab raat ke 11 baje achanak<br />
mere mobile pe sonali ki ye sms aayi.<br />
Aur yeh sms dekh kar jaise main achanak se shock ho<br />
gaya. Pehli baar najaane kyun ek alag tarah sa mehsus ho<br />
raha tha, dil ke dhadkane bhi achanak se tez ho gayi thi.<br />
Mann me tarah tarah ke sawal uth rahe the. Kya wajah ho<br />
sakti hai, kya yeh hua hoga? kya woh hua hoga? Akhir aisa<br />
kya hua hoga?…<br />

Maine turant usse kahin saare sms bheje, par uska koi<br />
jawab nahi aaya. Phir main bed se uth kar mera laptop la kar<br />
facebook khola to pata chala usne wahan pe bhi mujhe<br />
remove kar di thi. Hum kabhi kabar gmail pe bhi chat kar<br />
rehe the, to maine wahan pe bhi message bheja par phir bhi<br />
koi jawab nahi mila.<br />
Us din meri raaton ki nind udd gayi thi. Alag alag tarah ke<br />
khayalen aa rehe the. Bahut muskil se kati thi woh raat maine.<br />
Mujhe laga sayed woh mujhse dosti hi nahi rakhna chahti.<br />
Agle din subha maine usse phone kiya. 2-3 baar call karne<br />
ke baad usne phone receive ki aur halki si awaz mein boli,<br />
‘main abhi baat nahi kar sakti,’<br />
‘mere raaton ka nind udda ke ab bol rahi ho baat nahi kar<br />
sakte ?, kyun, aisa kya hua hai, please 2 min hi sahi mujhse<br />
baat karlo.’ main hadbadate hue bola.<br />
Phir sayed woh bahar aa ke mujhse baat ki aur boli, ‘kya<br />
hua ?’<br />
‘kya hua ka kya matlab, kal achanak raat ko aise sms<br />
kyun bheje, kya hua hai, please mujhe batao’.<br />
‘acha woh baat, kuch nahi yaar woh pravin ki pareshan<br />
karne wali baat gharwalon ko pata chal gayi hai, toh bina<br />
wajah ke papa mujhpar gussa ho gaye, aur bole ghar se bahar<br />

nikalna band. Aur tumse baat karti hun bhi sayed pata hai, toh<br />
bole kisi bhi ladke se baat karna band kardo,’ woh boli.<br />
‘to main bhi bina wajah ke gaali sun ke pareshan ho gayi,<br />
aur isiliye tumhe woh sms bhej di thi, baki main tumse dosti<br />
nahi tod rehi hun, bas kuch din thik se baat nahi kar sakti,’<br />
woh mujhe pura kaahani samjhate hue boli.<br />
Kuch din baad sonali Kolkata mein MBA karne ke liye<br />
chali gayi, aur main acha college ke chakkar mein reh gaya<br />
aur phir CAT ke preparation mein lag gaya. Woh problem to<br />
dhire dhire kam ho gaya par humari baat chit iss dauran thodi<br />
kam ho gayi thi.<br />
‘Main kal Kolkata ja raha hun, so miloge kya ?,’maine<br />
bola.<br />
‘haan zarur,’ woh boli.<br />
Actually 5 th October 2012 ko mera Kolkata pe Wipro ka<br />
ek interview tha, to pichli raat ko main Sonali ko bataya ki<br />
main Kolkata jaane wala hun.<br />
‘Waise Sector V, Salt Lake ke paas Wipro ka office kahan<br />
pe hai pata hai kya, aur tumhari college kahan pe hai ?,’<br />
maine pucha.<br />

‘bhul gaye na monkey, ek din tum mujhe hi bhul<br />

‘tum monkey, ab batao bhi’<br />
‘ISBM, Sector V, Salt Lake, Kolkata’<br />
‘thik hai, to phir kal milte hein’<br />
‘ji zarur’.<br />
Maine kabhi socha nahi tha ki mujhse milne ke liye wo<br />
raaji bhi hogi, main to bas Kolkata ja raha tha, isiliye usse<br />
puch liya tha. Par sayed kudrat ki kuch aur marji thi. tabhi to<br />
mera interview jis jagah pe tha, uski college bhi wahin paas<br />
thi.<br />
5 th October 2012:-<br />
I<br />
Ye date sach main mere liye bahut khas ban gaya. pehli<br />
baar main kisi ladki se aise milne ja raha tha, haala ki mere<br />
mann mein sirf dosti hi thi. Maine kabhi bhi usse waisi nazar<br />
se nahi dekha. Main humesha bas uski ek acha dost banna<br />

tha.<br />
Main subha ka train pakad ke karib 11 baje Kolkata<br />
pahuncha, aur phir wahan se Wipro ki office. Mujhe Kolkata<br />
mein locations ke bare mein jyada malum nahi tha, so jaise<br />
mujhe Goutam bataya tha usi hisab se main gaya. Sonali bhi<br />
nayi nayi Kolkata gayi thi, to usse bhi jyada kuch malum nahi<br />
tha. chalo kaise bhi logon se puchte hue main pahunch gaya<br />
akhir mein.<br />
Phir interview khatam hote hote karib 2 baj gaye the.<br />
Main office se bahar nikal ke Sonali ko sms kiya.<br />
‘main class mein hun, tum kahan ho ? aur interview<br />
khatam ho gaya ?,’ uska reply sms aaya.<br />
‘haan abhi just khatam hua, aur main yahin office se nikal<br />
ke road pe hun. aur tum kab niklogi ?,’ maine reply sms diya.<br />
‘class khatam hote hote 4.30 ho jaenge, so tumse milte<br />
milte karib 5 baj jayenge.’ Usne reply diya.<br />
‘okk chalo main yahin paas mein hun, tumhari class<br />
khatam hojaye to bolna’, maine reply diya.<br />
‘thik hai, aur han lunch kar lena..’ uski reply aaya.<br />

Goutam ko phone kiya. Usse interview ke bare me bataya aur<br />
phir Sonali se milne ke plan ke bareme bhi bataya. Woh kaafi<br />
excited ho raha tha, ye baat sunke.<br />
Usi dauran 4.30 baj gaya tha. Aur uski 2-4 sms aa gaye<br />
the, ‘kahan ho ?... kya kar rehe ho ?... kuch reply kyun nahi<br />
de rehe ho ?...’<br />
Goutam se baat chit khatam hone ke baad maine uske sms<br />
dekhe. Main wahan se chal ke gaya, aur thodi door baad uski<br />
college aa gayi.<br />
Uski college ke samne pahunch ke maine usse sms kiya,<br />
‘tumhare college ke samne hoon, jaldi aao..’<br />
Nazaane kyun main bahut nervous feel kar raha tha. Pehli<br />
baar usse milne jo wala tha, aur pehli baar kisi ladki se bhi.<br />
Dosti kiye hue pata nahi kitne din ho gaye the, lekin pehli<br />
baar aamne samne milne wale the hum, ye ehsaas kuch aur hi<br />
tha. Hum dono same town se the, par dekho milne aaya hun<br />
wo bhi kahan, kisi aur City pe. So excited bhi tha aur nervous<br />

‘tum konse colour ke shirt pehne ho ?’, uski sms aayi.<br />

Phir hum ek taxi pe baithe aur chale, par pure raaste hum<br />

baat karen kuch samajh mein nahi aa raha tha hum dono ko.<br />
Mall se bina kuch kharide,bas window shopping karke aur<br />
ghum ke chale aaye. Jab hum laut rahe the uss waqt koi taxi<br />

‘chalo chal ke hi jaate hein, jahan se taxi milegi wanhi se<br />

‘thik hai, chalo,’<br />
Phir raaste par koi taxi nahi mili, aur hum dono baatein<br />

‘1 Black Currant aur 1 choclate flavor cone ice cream’,<br />
main counter pe jaa ke bola.<br />
‘sorry sir, Black Currant nahi hai’, uss counter ka ladka<br />
bola.<br />
‘ohh ab kya karein’, main Sonali se pucha.<br />
‘choclate flavor hi le aao’, sonali boli.<br />
Thik hai bhaya, 2 choclate flavor hi de do..<br />
Isi tarah hum ice cream khaate khaate uski college ke gate<br />
tak aaye, aur bechari sonali ko uss din apni favourite flavor<br />
nahi mili thi. Phir main usse wanhi pe chor ke wahan se laut<br />
aaya aur us raat ko Bus pakad ke wapas laut aaya.<br />

question thoda muskil hoga.. So the final question- why this<br />

‘to phir main bhi nahi jaungi’<br />
‘mat aao, main bhi nahi jaunga, aur sirf goutam ko bhej<br />
dunga. Ab khush to ?’, main thoda narazgi ke sath muh latka<br />

boli.<br />
‘rehne do, koi jarurat nahi’, main phir se narajgi ke sath<br />

Agle din hum subha Kolkata ke liye nikle, aur phir shaam<br />

park gaye hue the, wahan thoda ghume aur phir lautte waqt<br />
pani puri bhi khae.<br />
Uske agle din exam khatam ho jaane ke baad mera<br />
achanak kuch kaam pad gaya, so mujhe us din rehna pada.<br />
Par goutam ko bhi ghar pe kuch kaam tha, isiliye woh wapas<br />
chala gaya.<br />
Durga puja ka time tha, aur sonali ki college bhi chutti ho<br />
gayi thi. Humare yahan to Durga puja mano sabse bada<br />
tyohar hai. So kamse kam 10 din ki chutti to hoti hai. Sonali<br />

22 nd December ki baat hai, us din mera IBPS ka ek exam<br />
tha, Kolkata mein. Exam dopeher ke 1.30 baze tha, aur 2<br />
ghante ka exam tha. So maine Sona ko bol diya tha ke main 4<br />
baze tak uske college ke paas pahunch jaunga.<br />
I<br />
4.30pm tak mere na pahunchne se Sona kaafi parishan ho<br />
gayi thi. Usne mera number kahin baar dial kiya, par mera<br />
number switch off aa raha tha.<br />
‘tu tension mat le, Aditya aata hi hoga. Sayed wo exam<br />
hall se nikal ke apna phone on karna hi bhul gaya hoga’,<br />
swati usse samjhate hue boli.<br />
Waise Swati uski friend hai, woh dono hostel mein ek hi<br />
room pe rehte hein. Swati aur Sonali, dono ke papa ache dost<br />
hein, to woh dono bhi bachpan se ache dost hein.<br />

hua hai na ?’, Sonali tension se Swati se puch rehi thi.<br />
‘aare nahi nahi, tum jara bhi chinta mat karo, woh bas<br />
aata hi hoga’, swati usko himmat dete hue boli.<br />
Woh dono ache dost hone ke wajah se ek dusre se har<br />
baat share karte the. Swati ka ek boyfriend bhi hein, unka<br />
naam hai Srikant. Swati kahin baar sonali ko bolti thi ke Main<br />
aur Sonali dost to hein, par mere mann mein Sonali ke liye<br />
dosti se kuch badke feelings hai. Par sonali bhi humesha uss<br />
baat ko taal ke bolti thi, ke nahi hum sirf dost hein.<br />
Karib 4.45 baz chukka tha, aur mera koi pata na hone se<br />
woh dono kafi ghabrayehue the… And what about me,<br />
ohooo..main kahan hun. ohh sorry…<br />
Actually us saal pehli baar IBPS ka exam online ho raha<br />
tha, so exam 1.30pm ke bajaye 2.30pm ko suru hua. 4.30pm<br />
ko exam khatam hua, phir baggage room se bag aur mobile<br />
collect karte karte 4.45pm ho chuka tha, phir main phone on<br />
karke karib 4.50pm ko Sona ko phone kiya.<br />
‘hellooo’<br />
‘tum ho kahan, aur phone off kyun hai abhi tak ?, aur itne<br />
der tak phunche kyun nahi tum?’, wo itna jyada parishan thi<br />

thode ghume usdin.<br />
Christmas ki chutti hone ke wajah se Sona ko ghar aana<br />
tha, to agle din hum dono sath mein train se aaye. Train se<br />
aate waqt hum dher saari baatein kar rahe the. Phir achanak<br />
usne mere mobile se mere kuch photo liye, to main bhi uske<br />
kuch photos uski mobile se lena chaha. Par woh de nehi rehi<br />
thi, to main uske hath se uski mobile khinchne laga. Naajane<br />
kyun ek alag sa ehsaas tha uss waqt, pata nahi wo kya tha.<br />
Shayed usse bhi kuch mehsoos hua hoga. phir kuch der ke<br />
liye hum dono chup chap baith gaye, par kuch der baad sab<br />
firse normal ho gaya.<br />
Main jab bhi Kolkata jata tha usse jarur milta tha, aur woh<br />
bhi jab ghar aati thi kam se kam ek baar mujhe zarur milti thi.<br />
Aise mein humara milna jhulna, baatein karna harwaqt,pata<br />
nahi kya tha yeh sab. Shayed humari dosti, dosti se thodi<br />
jyada thi, dosti se kuch kadam aage badh gayi thi, aur hum<br />
dono uss ehsaas se aksar muh mod lete the, pata nahi apne<br />
aap se jhuth kehte the ya kisi dar se apne ehsaas ko chupa lete<br />
the. Jo bhi tha sab kuch apne andar tha, Hum humari dosti ko<br />
dosti tak hin rakhna chahte the.<br />
Its cute when couples act like best friends, but its even<br />

Naya saal aa gaya tha, aur naye saal ke sath sath ek nayi<br />
umeed bhi. Main new year ke raat sabse pehle usse wish kiya.<br />
February 1 st week mein uski semester exam thi, so woh apne<br />
padhai mein thodi busy ho gayi thi.<br />
Phir 27 th jan ko woh wapas Kolkata jaane wali thi, aur<br />
mera bhi 28 th ko thoda kaam tha, so mujhe bhi Kolkata jana<br />
tha. So hum dono ek sath bus mein gaye.<br />
‘main tumhe hostel tak chor dun, ya tumhari didi lene<br />
aayengi’, maine bola.<br />
‘nahin didi aajayegi, main chali jaungi. Aur haan, tum to<br />
bus stand pe utroge, aur main usse pehle utar jaungi’, woh<br />
boli.<br />
‘okk, pahunch ke ek sms kar dena..’, maine bola.<br />
Uski cousin Dii ‘Anjali’ Kolkata mein rehte hein. Sonali<br />
kabhi kabhi unke paas ja ke rehti hai. Woh sonali ke sath<br />
kaafi frank the, unko pata tha ki main aur Sonali bahut ache<br />
dost hein.<br />
I<br />
Par us din evening se raat tak Sonali ki nahi koi sms aayi<br />
nahi koi call. Main jitna bhi sms kiya ya call kiya, koi jawab<br />
nahi aaya uska. Raat bhar main bohot hi jyada parishan tha,<br />
tension ke mare najane kitni baar call aur sms kiya hoga<br />

maine. Beichen sa mehsus ho raha tha. Agle din mujhe thoda<br />
kaam tha, par jab bhi mauka milta tha main usse call ya sms<br />
karta raha, par uski koi jawab nahi aati thi. <strong>Me</strong>re parishan<br />
hone ki sari hade par ho chuki thi, itna fikar aaj tak kabhi<br />
kiske liye nahi kiya maine. Phir jaake raat ko uski phone lagi,<br />
aur usse baat hui.<br />
‘kar kya rahe the tum kal se, na koi call, na koi sms.<br />
pahunche, nahi pahunche kuch nahi bataya, idhar main<br />
parishani ke maare adha mar chukka tha’, main tension ke<br />
mare ek hi jhatke mein bol gaya.<br />
‘sorry…’, bas itna bolte hi woh rone lag gayi.<br />
‘aare kya hua re ?, rona band karo aur bolo mujhe, kya<br />
hua hai..?’<br />
‘kal main kisi ladke ke sath yani tumhare sath bus mein<br />
aayi hun, yeh baat kisi ne bhaiya ko bata diya hai. Aur bhaiya<br />
bina kuch samjhe mujhe phone kar ke kitna kuch gali diye,<br />
aur main ro ro ke unka phone cut kar di aur phone off kar di<br />
thi’, woh tab bhi thode rote hue bol rehi thi.<br />
‘to yeh baat tum mujhe bhi bol sakte the. Okk chalo abhi<br />
rona band karo… aur khana khaye ho ke nahi ?’, maine<br />
pucha.<br />
‘nahi’<br />
‘to jao pehle khana khao’<br />

Waise Sona ke bare ek baat jaan lena zaruri hai, uska<br />
mood jab bhi kharap hota hai, pura ka pura chehra ek dum<br />
fika sa pad jati hai, wo khana tak nahi khati apne mood na<br />
thik hone tak. Aur jab wo khus hoti hai to, uska chehra hi sab<br />
kuch bayan kar deta hai. Uski bayen gaal pe jo dimple hai,<br />
jab wo muskurati hai apni dimple ke sath to bata nahi sakta<br />
kitni pyari aur masum lagti hai.<br />
Uske agle din main train se wapas aa raha tha, achanak<br />
mere dimag mein ek baat aaya. Kyun na Sona aur meri<br />
shaandar dosti ko panno pe kaid kar ke rakh diya jaye, taki<br />
yaadon ke jaise wo sab humesha rehenge, aage jaa kar kabhi<br />
bhi purane yadon ko taza karna ho to jaise hum wo panno se<br />
phir se unn palon ko ji sake, unhe bapas dhund sake. Fir mein<br />
Humari dosti ke har wo pal ko samet ke unke upar ek kahani<br />
likhne laga.<br />
Sona in dino apne exam ki tayari mein kaafi busy ho gayi,<br />
humare bich baat chit kaafi kam ho chuki thi. Mujhe naazane<br />
kyun baichen sa lagne laga tha, jaise usse baat kiye bina<br />
kahin aur jee nahi lagta tha.Chahe usse kitni bhi mulaaqatein<br />
kyun na ho phir bhi kam lag raha tha, chahe uske sath pura<br />
din kyun na guzarlun phir bhi aksar sab kam lagta<br />
tha.Nazaane kyun aisa lag raha tha. Main kanhipe dhyaan<br />
nahi de pa raha tha.<br />

Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
Phir maine unsab yaadon ko jod ke unhe panno pe kaid<br />
kar diya, ek kahaani likhi, jiska naam diya “Oh my best<br />
friend”.<br />
Aise mein waqt guzarne laga, kuch din baad Sona ki<br />
exam khatam ho gayi, par uske turant baad uski tabiyat thodi<br />
kharab ho gayi, to woh ghar aa gayi thi aur doctor usse rest<br />
lene ke liye bole the.<br />
Jab woh thodi thik ho gayi to maine usse mera likha hua<br />
kahaani bheja.<br />
‘Aadi, oh my god !!thank you sooooo muchhhhhhh….<br />
Tumhe itna kuch yaad hai !!thanks yaar.. its just<br />
unforgettable..’, woh padhne ke baad khusi se boli.<br />
‘you welcome, and thanks for being my such a nice<br />
friend..’, maine bola.<br />
20 th march ka date tha, woh us din market aayi thi, so<br />
mujhe bhi bulayi, to main bhi gaya tha. Usko thodi marketing<br />
karni thi wapas hostel jaane se pehle. Phir market se lautne ke<br />
baad usne sms kiya.<br />
Sona- ‘thank you for everything Aadi’<br />
Aadi- ‘mention not yaar..’<br />
Sona- ‘waise Aadi, tum aaye kyun nahi humare ghar ?’<br />
Aadi- ‘tum jab bulaoge jaunga..’<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 43
Sona- ‘to aaj kya koi aur bula rehi thi..’<br />
Aadi- ‘nahi re, okk jaunga agle baar’<br />
Sona- ‘by the way,acha lag raha hai aise..’<br />

Sona- ‘mirror pe dekho, sayed pata chal jayega, aur dhyan<br />
se dekhna..okk good night Aadi.. Aadi O Aadi..la la la la.. Ha<br />
ha..’ woh khusi se gaana gane lagi thi.<br />
‘monkey, donkey..good night’, main muskurate hue reply<br />
diya.<br />
Actually maine kuch dino se shave nahi kiya tha, aur<br />
mere face pe chote chote stiff hairs grow kar gaye the.<br />
Actually bahut dino ke baad maine aise kiya tha, to sayed<br />
usne pehle kabhi notice nahi kiya tha. aur usko lag reha tha ke<br />
mujhe aise looks pe acha lag raha hai.<br />
14 th april 2013 ko mera ek exam tha, to main aur mere do<br />
khas dost Sudeep aur Anurag ek sath Kolkata jaane wale the,<br />
undino hum teeno ek sath exam ki tayari bhi kar rehe the.<br />

Par Sona meri 13 th ko jaane wali baat bhul gayi thi aur 14 th<br />
april ke evening tak usne mujhe na hi mere jane ke bare me<br />
pucha,nahi exam ke bare me kuch bhi pucha, Is baat se mujhe<br />
bahut bura laga, aur main thoda gussa ho gaya tha. Main jaan<br />
bujh kar usse us din evening me 6.55pm ko phone kiya. Kyun<br />
ke mujhe pata tha ki uske hostel me 7pm se pehle lautna hota<br />
hai, aur woh abhi mujhse milne nahi aa payegi.<br />
‘kahan, ho ?’, uski phone uthate hi main thode gusse wali<br />
awaj pe bola.<br />
‘college gate ke paas, kya hua ?’, woh dhimi si awaz mein<br />
jawab di.<br />
‘very good, ghumte raho, main Kolkata mein hun, tumhe<br />
pata hai bhi ki nahi ?, mujhse mile bi nahi aye, nahi exam ke<br />
liye wish kiya?. Main aaj raat ko wapas ja raha hun, bye..’,<br />
main gusse me bol ke phone kaat diya.<br />
<strong>Me</strong>re phone rakhne ke baad uski sms aayi. Jisse ek bahut<br />
bada wala jhagda ho gaya humare bich.<br />
‘aise hi jana chahte ho to, okk then main kaun hoti hun<br />
naa kehne wali . bhul gayi thi, meri galti hai. Par iske liye<br />
agar tum aise karoge to then its your wish, go..’<br />
‘han jaunga to, par tum to nahi mile na mujhse, so main<br />
ab Ritu se milke jaunga..’, maine reply diya.<br />

Actually Ritu mera ek friend hai facebook pe, kabhi kabhi<br />
usse baat hoti hai. Woh bhi Kolkata mein rehti thi.<br />
‘happy journey, aur jisse milna hai milo, main kahan<br />
mana kar rehi hun’, uski gusse wali reply aayi.<br />
‘and thanks for what you did’, uski aur se ek reply aayi.<br />
‘tum yahan aa ke mujhse mile bagar ja rehe ho na, yeh<br />
tumhara ego hai. Yeh baat main kabhi nahi bhulungi, aur<br />
aage se main jab ghar jaungi, nahi tume bataungi nahi<br />
milungi kabhi. Aaj ke baad main tumse kabhi baat nahi<br />
karungi, this is my last sms. Bye..I just hate you.’, usne aise<br />
likh ke apni aakhri reply di.<br />
Yeh kya ho gaya, taas ki paton ki tarah kuch hi minute pe<br />
itne dino ki gehri dosti jaise pura bikhar gaya. Mujhe laga<br />
ajise maine apne haaton se sab kuch barbad kar diya. Rishte<br />
judne mein sadiyaan lagte hai par bikharne mein bas ek pal...<br />
ye bas mera gusha tha, narazgi tha jo uski samajh mein nahi<br />

wo ring pehnayi. Woh us din bahut khus thi, aur uski khusi<br />
dekh kar hi maano mera dil bhar gaya tha.’<br />
Sudeep mere aur dekh ke bola, ‘wow, kya baat hai<br />
restaurant, hume to aaj tak thele pe bhi nahi leke gaya aur<br />
ladki ko mehenge mehenge restarant..’<br />

Phir woh khel ko aage badhate hue bottle ghumaya aur ab<br />
baari thi madhu ki.<br />
Sudeep turant excited ho ke bola, pehla sawal main<br />

Ye khel hai hi aisa. Jaise jaise khel aage badhta hai,<br />
intrest apne aap badhta rehta hai. Is khel ki ek khasiyat hai, ye<br />
sabki zindagi ke piche chupi hui wo har baat ko sabke samne<br />
bahar nikal deti hai.<br />
‘tumhari life ki uss khas insaan ke bare mein batao ?’,<br />
sudeep bola.<br />
‘bhaskar, engineering ke time pe the, 4 saal, par October<br />
2014 ko last time baat hui thi unse’, madhu pura bhabuk ho<br />

ek dusre se kuch bol nahi paa rahe the. Maine jab uski<br />
aankhon mein dekha to, uski aankhen jaise mujhse kuch<br />

par maano himmat hi nahi thi mujhme.<br />
Hum dono bas kavi ek dusre ko dekh rehe the, to kavi<br />
idhar udhar dekh rehe the. Aur aakhir maine thoda sa himmat<br />
jutaya aur bas itna hi bol paya ‘I love you Sona…’<br />
Woh bas najar jhuka ke khadi thi aur sharma rahi thi.<br />
Woh bhi sayed kuch kehna chahti thi, par nahi bol payi. Lab<br />

side ke dimple ko dekh kar hi maano mera mann bhar jata<br />

kabhi wo bilkul chote bache ki tarah hoti thi, khas kar jab wo<br />
subha nind se uthti thi, to ekdum bachi jaisi baat karti thi,<br />

‘hmmm’<br />
‘phir se hmm !!! main yahan kuch bol rahi hun aur tum ho<br />
ke hmm kar rahe ho’<br />
Ye hmm jaise mera favourite word hai, main aksar koi bhi<br />
baat ho hmm bolta rehta tha. Waise hi wo aksar chopa bolti<br />
rehti hai. Uska matlab kya hai pata nahi, main uske muh se hi<br />
pehli baar ye word suna tha. Jo bhi ho, mujhe wo word bahut<br />
funny lagta tha.<br />
‘oye suno to’, wo phir se boli.<br />
‘haan haan bolo baba, sun raha hun’<br />

‘wowww’<br />

‘jyada khus mat ho, maine bahut sari photo li hai us dress<br />
ko pehen ke, par tume nahi dikhaungi’<br />
‘aare please please, dikhao na’<br />
‘chopaaa’<br />
Usne Jabong se ek nayi dress mangwayi thi, aur nayi<br />
dress pehen ke bahut sari photo li thi. thodi nautanki ke baad<br />
hi usne mujhe apni photo dikhayi.<br />
Agle din hum dono nazdik wale park mein gaye the, us<br />
din Sona wo nayi dress pehen ke aayi thi.<br />
Aasmaan mein kale badal garaj rehe the, aur mere samne<br />
sundar pari khadi thi. Jitni hi khuoobsurat, utni hi pyari aur<br />
gazab lag rahi thi woh us din.<br />
Kuch der baad achanak se jor sor baarish hona suru ho<br />
gaya, sab idhar udhar bhag gaye. Par hum kahin nahi gaye,<br />
aur ek chote se pedh ke niche dono khade rahe. Pure 1 ghante<br />
tak jor dar baarish hua, aur hum dono pura bhig gaye the.<br />
Woh din mere zindegi ki sabse yaadgar din hai.main bas<br />
usse aankhein bharke dekh raha tha. Bahut si khas chizen<br />
hein jo us din mujhe mehsoos hue, aur sayed usse bhi waise<br />

rahi thi.<br />
Waqt ke sath din gujarne lage the, aur hum dono apne<br />
rishte ko dhire dhire aage badhane lage the. Uske sath hone se<br />
kaise din gujar jaate the pata hi nahi chalta tha. Zindagi ko<br />
pehli baar iss tarah rounak se bhari hui dekh raha tha. Zindagi<br />
badi khoobsurat ban gayi thi. uski dhadkano mein hi jaise<br />
meri zindegi bas gayi thi. ek anokha bandhan bandh gaya tha.<br />
Sayed pyar hota hi aisa, jisme hume khas mehsoos hota hai.<br />
Nazaane wo kab aa kar mere dil mein basne lagi, pehle<br />
dost thi, phir pyar, phir nazaane kab zindegi ban gayi.<br />
Few months later :-<br />
2013 se 2014 tak ka safar kafi haseen raha mere liye.<br />
2014 ki Sona ki birthday ko khas banana ke liye maine ek<br />
plan socha tha. 23 rd ko uski birthday thi, to maine already sab<br />
kuch soch ke rakha tha.<br />
Birthday ke din main subha uski college ke paas pahunch<br />
gaya, aur Sona bhi puri tayar ho ke bahar aayi.<br />
‘many many happy returns of the day my sweety, happy<br />

Us din wo kya kamal ki lag rehi thi, wo bayan karpana<br />
mushkil hai. <strong>Me</strong>ri to nazar hi maano nahi hatt rahi thi usse.<br />
Pink colour ki ek anarkali pehni thi wo uss din. Pink, jo ki<br />
mera ek pasandida colour hai.<br />
Phir maine usse do bouquet diya, jo uske liye laya tha. Ek<br />
rose ka tha, aur ek gerbera. Gerbera sonali ki favourite phul<br />
hai. Aur usse milne ke baad mera bhi ho gaya hai. Dono hi<br />
bouquet mein 3 colour ke phul the, red, pink and yellow.<br />
Hum humesha se ek dusre ko 3 colour ke hi phul dete the.<br />
Red humare pyar ke liye, pink ek dusre ko pasand karne ke<br />
liye, aur yellow humari dosti ke liye.<br />
Woh phul dekhkar bahut khus ho gayi. Achanak se ek taxi<br />
aaya, aur aa ke humare paas khada ho gaya. ‘happy birthday<br />
medam’, us taxi wale ne Sona se bola.<br />
Sona ek dum shock ho gayi. ‘chalo taxi pe betho’, main<br />
muskurate hue bola.<br />
Hum dono ja ke Ram mandir ke paas pahunche. Jaise hi<br />
hum taxi se utre to taxi wale ne Sona ko ek chota sa packet<br />
diya aur turant chala gaya.<br />
Sona kuch samajh nahi pa rehi thi. ‘ghabrao mat, khol ke<br />
dekho’, main sona se muskurate hue bola.<br />
“<strong>You</strong> & <strong>Me</strong>” 78
Story By:- <strong>AJit</strong> <strong>Sahoo</strong><br />
Jaise hi sona us packet ko khol ke dekhi, khusi ke mare<br />
uchal rehi thi. ab tak to wo bhi mere plan thode thode samajh<br />
gayi thi. us packet mein ek khoobsurat pandant thi, aur niche<br />
ek heart thi.<br />
Wahan se bhagban ke darshan ke baad hum nazdik ke ek<br />
restaurant pe gaye. Restaurant ka ek ladka aaya aur hume<br />
menu book de kar gaya. Sona jaise uske andar dekhi to bas<br />
dekhte reh gayi. Andar ek sundar birthday card tha, jisme<br />
kuch likha hua tha.<br />
Dear Sona,<br />
“Tum ko to bahut pehle hi meri zindegi mein aajana<br />
chahiye tha, par naazane kyun itne der hue. Main to tanha<br />
akela sa chal raha tha. Par tere aane se ab main khud ko<br />
tujhme aise kaid kar dunga, ki nishana bhi bas mera hi<br />
milega. Tere andaaz to sabse alag hai, ab to meri din bhi<br />
tumse hein aur meri raatein bhi tumse hein. <strong>Me</strong>ri kal bhi<br />
tumse hein, meri chahat bhi tumse hein. <strong>Me</strong>ri to har pal bas<br />
tumhi se hein. Main to ab bas tere hi dil mein rehta hun. Koi<br />
bhi safar ho, mere sath chalte rehna, kyun ke ab to ye saasein<br />
bhi bas tere hi liye chalti hai. Ab har mod par main bas tere<br />
sath rahunga, aur bas tere hi liye jeeunga, because I Love<br />
<strong>You</strong>…”<br />

‘Wowww so sweet of you Aadi, aur kya bolun main. <strong>You</strong><br />
are just best. Thanks, jo kuch bhi tumne mujhe diya hai. I am<br />
so glad to have you in my life’, wo khusi se boli.<br />
‘mention not yaar, aur waise bhi picture abhi baaki hai’,<br />
maine bola.<br />
Itne mein restaurant ka ladka cake le ke aa gaya. phir usne<br />
cake kaati, aur sabse pehle mujhe khilayi. Uske baad humne<br />
wahan pe lunch bhi kiya.<br />
Jab hum wahan se bahar aa rahe the, tab darbaaze ke paas<br />
diwar pe ek packet laga hua tha, jisme likha tha, ‘for you,<br />
sona’.<br />
Usne dekhte hi khinch layi, aur khol ke dekhi to, ek<br />
earrings tha, jo heart shape ka tha. Woh bas khusi se uchal<br />
rehi thi, aur kuch na bol pa rehi thi.<br />
Pyar dikhta aankhon mein hai, par chamakta hai hasi<br />
mein.<br />
Road pe aane ke time wo mujhe gaana gaane ke liye boli.<br />
Ab uske birthday ke din usse kaise mana kar sakta tha.<br />
“Tu hi meri hai saari zameen. Chaahe kahin se chaloon.<br />
Tujhpe hi aake rukoon. Tere siwa main jaoon kahaan. Koi<br />
bhi raah chunoon. Tujhpe hi aake rukoon.<br />

Phir usne mujhe ek letter diya, jisme likha hua tha.<br />
Dear Aadi,<br />
<strong>You</strong> are more than love to me and you are my everything.<br />
Uske baad wo aakhir mein boli, ‘pata hai Aadi, main jab<br />
bhi tumhare sath hoti hun, tumhare sath baat karti hun, to<br />
main sabse jyada khush hoti hun’.. ‘tum to sabse khas ho,<br />
tumhari jagah aur koi nahi le sakta meri zindagi mein’..<br />

halat bahut bigad gaye the. Aisa lag raha tha jaise tufan aa<br />
gaya hai. Unke hisab se jaise hum dono pyar karke bahut badi<br />
gunah kar baithe hai. Kya kisi ko tehe dil se chahna itna galat<br />
hai ?<br />
‘bhaya to sunne ke baad jor jor se chilla rehe the mere<br />
upar’, sonali boli. ‘kya hum itne badi galti kar diye hein ?’<br />
‘nahi re, aise mat socho, humne koi galti nahi ki hai’,<br />
main usse samjhate hue bola.<br />
‘kya humare gharwale humare rishte ke liye raazi nahi<br />
honge ?’ wo pura mayush ho ke bol rahi thi.<br />
‘chinta mat karo Sona, main hoon na tumhare sath. Hum<br />
ladenge apne pyar ke liye’, main usse thoda himmat dete hue<br />
bola.<br />
Ghar wale humesha se pyar ki baat sunke itne chidte kyun<br />
hein ?. Shyad unko ye lagta hoga ke unke bacche unko bataye<br />
bina apne liye sathi kaise dhund sakte hein. Ya phir wo abhi<br />
bhi unke jamane mein jeete hein, isiliye unki nazar mein ye<br />
sab galat hai. Kya unke liye unke bacchon ki khusi jyada<br />
jaroori nahi hoti hai ?. Mann mein aise tarah tarah ke sawal<br />
gunj rehe the.<br />

Uske agle din humare yahan pe ek bada sa tufan aaya. Do<br />
din tak jor se barish ke sath sath tez hawa dene lagi. Koi bhi<br />
apne ghar se nahi nikal pa raha tha. Pure seher pe bijli chali<br />
gayi thi, mobile ke network bhi nahi aa rahe the.<br />
Chaaron aur bas ped aur ped ke daaliyan bikhre hue pade<br />
the. mahol pura bigad gaya tha. Humare jagah pe bahut jyada<br />
nuksaan hua tha. Hum sab bas ghar pe raat bhar baithe rehe.<br />
Itna baarish hua ki ghar ke andar tak paani bhi aa gaya tha.<br />
Do din tak hum kuch khaye piye bina bas ek hi jagah par<br />
baithe rehe. Chaaron aur paani bhar gaya tha, kuch jaanwar<br />
bhi paani ke sath beh jaa rahe the. Aisa pehli baar hua tha<br />
humare seher mein.<br />
Udhar Sona parishan ho ke baithi thi, idhar main bhi<br />
parishan tha. Hum dono ek dusre ko contact bhi nahi kar paa<br />
rahe the. Mobile pe charge bhi nahi tha aur network bhi. Aise<br />
halatmein bhi unke ghar pe uske sath bura bartao kar rehe the.<br />
4 din ke baad meri Sona se baat hui. Wo bas roo rahi thi,<br />
aur kuch nahi bol rahi thi. bahar ka bhi mahol pura bigad<br />

In kuch mahinon mein hum bas humare pyar ke liye<br />
humare ghar walon ke samne ladh rahe the. Par halat din wo<br />
din aur jyada bigad rahi thi.<br />
Humare ghar mein mujhe sidha sidha usse baat karne se<br />
manaa kar diye the. Par uske ghar mein uski halat to aur bhi<br />
baddtar ho gayi thi. uske sath uske ghar wale baat bhi nahi<br />
karte the aur usko mere sath baat karne bhi nahi dete the. Roj<br />
unke ghar pe bas yehi baat ko lekar halla chal raha tha.<br />
Uske upar iss tarah ka atyachar aur nainsafi dekh kar<br />
mujhe bhi bardast nahi ho raha tha, par karta bhi to kya<br />
karta?. main kain baar unke ghar walon ke sath baat karne ki<br />
koshis bhi ki. Par wo meri koi bhi baat sunna nahi chahte the.<br />
Hum dono humare ghar walon ke khilaf nahi jaana chahte<br />
the. Kahin baar socha iss bare mein, par phir humne tey kiya<br />

bina, unke khilaf jaa kar hum koi bhi kadam nahi uthayenge.<br />

Najane kitne sapne bune the humne apni zindagi ke, par sab<br />
jaise dheere dheere fiki lagne lagi thi.<br />
Khwaabon mein humare kitne aansu chhupe hue the,<br />
raahon mein bhi kaante bichaye hue the, par humein pata nahi<br />
tha. Naazane waqt humse itna khafa kyun ho gaya tha.<br />
Ab to dheere dheere humari takat bhi unke aage kam pad<br />
rehi thi. Khas kar sona ki halat mujhse dekhi nahi jaati thi.<br />
Main mann hi mann komzor padne laga tha.<br />
Usdin 4 baje main park mein pahunch gaya tha. Kuch<br />
minutes baad wo aa ke pahunchi. Bahut din ke baad main<br />
usse mil raha tha. Uska chehra pura sukh gaya tha. woh<br />
mujhse chupana chahti thi, par humesha ki tarah uski<br />
aankhein hi sab kuch bayan kar rahi thi. Aisa lag raha tha<br />
jaise wo kahin dino tak thik se soyi nahi hai, roo roo ke uski<br />
aankhein phul gayi thi.<br />
Wo kuch der gumsum ho ke baithi rahi aur phir bol padi,<br />
“baba ke tabiyat aur bhi jyada kharab ho gayi hai Aadi. Main<br />
nahi chahti ki meri wajah se unki ye halat ho. Main apni<br />
khushi ke badle unhe khona nahi chahti. Main thak gayi hun<br />
re, aur himmat nahi hai mujhme. Sayed hum dono ka safar<br />
yahin tak ka tha. Main tumhe jitna chahti hoon, utna mere<br />
ghar walon ko bhi chahti hoon. Main tumhare bina jee nahi<br />
sakti, par unke bina bhi jee nahi paungi. Aunty ne bhi<br />
tumhare liye bahut se sapne dekhe honge. Unke bhi kitne<br />

khwaishen honge unke pasand ki koi bahu layen. Kya unke<br />
khusi se humari khusi jyada Zaroori hai ?.hum itne bhi<br />
matlabi nahi ban sakte. Humare ghar walon ki khusi ke liye<br />
kya hum itna bhi nahi kar sakte ?.sayed bhagbaan ki bhi yehi<br />
marzi hai.”, wo mere hath ko jor se pakdi thi aur bolti jaa rahi<br />
thi. “main humesha se sirf tumhe hi chaha hai.tumhare bina<br />
main adhuri hun, aur shayad adhuri reh jaungi.meri zindegi<br />
mein tumhari jagah koi aur nahi le sakta. Aakhir mein ek baat<br />
bolungi, tum jahan bhi raho mehfooz raho, dilse bas yehi dua<br />
karungi. Humesh khus rehna Aadi…”, “chalti hoon”.<br />
“Sonaaa…”, bas itna bolte hi main wahan baith ke roo<br />
pada, aur woh wahan se chali gayi. Main wanha pe toot raha<br />
tha aur Woh piche mud kar bhi nahi dekhi. Sayed woh apni<br />
aanshun chupana chahti thi.<br />
Tum mujhe chor ke chale jaoge yeh kabhi ho nahi sakta.<br />
Zindegi ke raahon par mile the tum meri dost bann ke, ab<br />
kyun chal diye tanha chor kar. Kyun ke main jo bhi hun, bas<br />
tum hi to ho.<br />
Kyun mujhe tanha karke chali gayi. Tu mujhse ye kya keh<br />
gayi. Par sayed woh sahi thi, hum itne matlabi nahi ban sakte<br />
the. Humare liye humari ghar walon ki khusiyan, humari<br />
khusi se jyada jaroori hai. Par ek pyar ki kahani ne uss din<br />
saansein chod di thi, ek ummid ne uss din dum tod diya tha.<br />

Apni khusi to sabhi dekhte hein. Par jo apnon ke khusi ke<br />
liye khud ke khusi ko bhi kurbaan kar dete hein, wohi sacha<br />
insaan kehlata hai. unki khusi hi apni khusi ban jati hai.<br />
Manna ke yeh ishq kya hai hum duniya ko samjha nahi<br />
sake. Puri duniya jeet gayi aur hum haar gaye. Kabhi soche<br />
nahi the aise milkar juda honge. Par sirf paane ka naam ishq<br />
nahi, kuch khone ko bhi pyaar kehte hai.<br />
Kehte hein humari Zindegi behtar tab ho jati he jab hum<br />
khud khus hote hein, par zindegi to sabse acha tab hota he<br />
jab koi aur humare wajah se khus hota hai.<br />
Hum kabhi sache khusi ko mehsus nahi kar paate hein,<br />
jab tak koi hume tehe dil se na chahta ho. Aur hum kabhi us<br />
dard ko bhi nahi samajh paate hein jab tak hum uss chahat ko<br />
kho na de. Kabhi kitabon ki kaahani mein padha tha ki ishq<br />
dard de jati hai lekin takdeer ne aaj wo ehsaas bhi mere<br />
kismat se jod diya…<br />

gunj ti rehti hain.<br />
Aaj main usi park pe usi jagah par baitha tha, jahan se aaj<br />
se thik 2 saal pehle meri sona mujhse door chali gayi thi.<br />
Uski baatein aaj bhi mujhe tadpati hai, tarsati hain. Uski<br />
yaadein aaj bhi mujhe rulati hai. Ab kisse kahun ye sab, bas<br />
baithe baithe un yaadon ko mann hi mann dohrata rehta hun.<br />
Laakhon lamhein kaat ta hoon phir bhi katte nahin hai, uski<br />
yaadein hein ki bas hatte nahi hai.<br />
Woh to chali gayi, par uski kuch chizein mujh mein<br />
humesha ke liye chor gayi. Aaj bhi agar raaste par kahin<br />
violet colour ki scooty dekhta hun, to dil bas ussi ki yaad<br />

Maine to bas uski naam se hi mahabbat kiya hai.Woh aaj<br />
mere paas nahi hai, phir bhi uske hone ki ehsaas se maine<br />
mahabbat kiya hai. usse milna to ab ek khwab sa lagta hai,<br />
par maine uske intezar se bhi mahabbat ki hai.<br />
Uske jaane ke baad meri aankhein nazane kitne raatein<br />
jaagi bhi hai aur royi bhi hai. Pyar ka matlab sirf sath rehna<br />
nahi hota hai. Kehte hein na pyar usi ka saccha hota hai, jisko<br />
uski manzil nahi milti.<br />
Pyar hai hi aisa, ye sab ke naseeb mein nahin hota hai. Ye<br />
sach hai ki pyar zindegi hoti hai, jo har kisi ke dil mein basi<br />
hoti hai. Jee to lete hein sabhi akele, magar pyar ki zaroorat<br />
har kisi ko hoti hai.<br />
Mujhe pata tha ki wo mere naseeb mein nahi hai, phir bhi<br />
mohabbat din wo din badhti jaa rahi thi. Uske bina main kuch<br />
nahi tha, jaise mera hona hi bewajah hai.<br />
Karib 1 ghante se main wahan pe baitha raha. Tabhi<br />
achanak se piche se ek ladki ki awaz sunai diya.. “Rohit, ruko<br />

Awaz kuch jaani pehchani si lagi. Ekdum se dil ko jaise<br />
jor se jhatka sa laga. Pehle to laga jaise kahin mere kaan to<br />

wahan se uth ke wapas chala aaya.<br />
Bas itni si thi humari ye adhuri si kahani…<br />
Dil agar he to dard bhi hoga, iska sayed koi bhi hall nahi<br />

karo, zindegi bhar ke liye usse pyar karo, apne dil ke kone<br />
