Kaamwali ki ladki

Ek Chhoti Si Kahani, Ek Bade Sapne Ki

Is kitaab ko padhne ke baad aap samjhoge, gareeb hona paap nahi, sapna chhod dena paap hai.

Sunita... basti ki ek aam kamwali. Subah 5 baje uthna, 3 gharo ke bartan, jhadu-pocha, aur shaam ko thaki haari apni 11 saal ki beti Asha ke liye roti banana.

Asha... patli-dubli si ladki, par aankhon me ajeeb si chamak. Neend me bhi uske haath me kitaab hoti hai. Uska ek hi sapna - padh likh kar kuch ban na, taaki uski maa ko kabhi bartan na ghisne pade.

Rasta aasaan nahi tha.

Verma Madam ke ghar jab pehli baar usne bookshelf dekhi, to uski duniya badal gayi. Madam ne kaha - "Gareebi sapne dekhne se nahi rokti, bas sapne ko raasta chahiye."

Phir ek din Sunita beemar pad gayi. Doctor ne aaram bola. Kaam band, paisa band. Duniya ne kaha - "Asha, school chhod de."

Par Asha ne school nahi chhoda. Usne basti ke chabutre par apni chhoti si pathshala khol li. 10 rupaye me tuition. Pehle din 3 bachche, agle mahine 15. Copy nahi to zameen par koyal se padhaya. Kitaab nahi to Verma Madam ki kitaabein baant di.

Log hanse - "Dekho, Kamwali Ki Ladki Teacher ban gayi!"

Asha ne jawab nahi diya. Kyunki usko pata tha, taane ka jawab shor se nahi, natije se diya jaata hai.

Aur natija... ek subah poori basti me bheed lagi thi. Akhbaar wala chilla raha tha. Pehle panne par badi photo thi -

"Basti Ki Beti Asha Bani District Collector"

Us din Sunita ne akhbaar ko seene se laga liya aur boli - "Beta, bartan to maine ghise, par tune meri kismat ghis di, aur woh chamak gayi."

Ye kitaab kyun padhni chahiye?

Kyunki ye aapko sikhayegi ki District Collector banne ke liye mahal me paida hona zaruri nahi, hosla hona zaruri hai. Ye kitaab har maa aur har beti ko ek nayi ummeed degi.

Ye sirf 6 panne ki kahani nahi, ek poore jeevan ki prerna hai.
