Here is the story.
Place Delhi. Name: didn't ask, Age: 50, got married at 20, gauna took place when he was 25, has seven kids no daughter . The man is from MP and working as a security guard in Safdarjung area Delhi.
24 hours duty (2 shifts ot 12 hours each), no weekly off, salary
(7k+4.5K) , visit his home town twice a year, no salary is paid for that
time, means no leaves at all, no work no pay absolutely.
I asked being a guard how do you spend ur time specially just by sitting, answer was : aaj to hamara time bahut achhe se paas ho raha hai aapke sath baat karke, otherwise I listen some songs on mobile n keep sitting then sleep for sometime as have to go for another duty in The morning.
As he has no daughter, I asked if he will take dowry when son will marry. Answer was : agar khud denge to theek hai but I will never demand. Dekhiye baat aisi hai ki beta to hai hi, lekin jo bacha bahar se ghar mein aayega vo achha hoga to ghar ka swarg bana dega. Dahej se kuchh nahin banega.
My friend asked him how one should spend life: Answer was, sabka apna apna kaam hai, jhooth nahin bolna chahiye lekin samaaj mein kai baar majboori ki vajah se bolna padta hai, agar aapka bhai balshali hai, iska koi hamare liye matlab ni hai. Ganga pavitar hai par hamare liye ghar ka kuan paviatra hai jahan se hum pani peete Hein. Sab ki kat rahi hai hum bhi kaat rahe hein, bachon ko padha rahe hein. Aulad ke liye kar rahe hein, vo khush to hum bhi khush hein.
In the meantime he started playing some folk music on his phone and we decided to leave and said. Ab chalte hein jee. Duniya bahut badi hai shayad mulakat ho na ho, lekin pakka ni hai kya pata, kal fir yahin pe baithen, aapke sath, aag jala ke.
While coming back there was just one thing in mind... Life has as many meanings as much lives we have on this earth.
