Our blog regulars have a whatsapp group. One of major hghlights of this group are the good morning messages and thoughts of the day by our beloved inhouse encyclopedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh. Nowadays our inhouse rocket scientist Gajendra Khanna has also started sharing thoughts of the day in the morning.
I almost invariably find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with these thoughts of the day. I need not not them down for use, because I find that I already practice them. I share some of these messages with my wife that I think she needs.
Like these ones-
“Never stop doing little things for others. Sometimes, those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts”
“Don’t let anyone’s ignorance, hate, drama or negativity stop you from being the best person you can be”
“Don’t permanently damage someone’s feelings just because you are temporarily upset”
“Leadership is not about ruling others, it is about showing others the right path”
“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going”
“success also hurts when you do not have a loved one to congratulate you. Failure also looks beautiful when you have a loved one to support you”
“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful”
“Everything you need is already inside you. Do’t wait for others to light your fire. You have your own matches.”
“The real education is our attitude and behaviour with others. It defines our entire personality, no matter how qualified we are.”
“The height of candles may differ but they yield same brigtness. It is not your position but your ability that makes you shine”
“Respect is the most important element of your personality., It is like an investment whatever you give to others it will return to you with profit.”
“Everyone may not be nice. But there is something nice in everyone.Never keep a fixed image for anyone. because people act differently with different people.”
“If you light a lamp for someone else, it will also brighten up your path.”
“Silence is the best answer to someone who does not value your words”
“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
“People understand the true value of the right person only after they suffer from the wrong person”
“Love and kindness are never wasted. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you (the giver).”
and many others.
Then there is this basic message that is hardwired into me- “Do unto others you would have them do unto you“. In other words, treat others with respect, and help them if you are in a position to. Because that is what I or anyone else expects from others.
It was day before yesterday (6 march 2019) when I was seated in my office chamber, when the door opened and I found a lady hesitantly asking if she could come in. Normally I expect a peon to bring in a chit from the visitor where the name of the person is written (along with purpose of visit). But she obviously came in when no peon was at hand to stop her.
I had no idea if she was an employee or some outsider (like say a salesperson) but I allowed her to come in. She tried to explain what she wanted to say but she was not able to as she was unable to stop herself from crying. But from the little she was able to speak and from the paper that she showed me, I was quickly able to find out that she was an employee of my place. She wanted to get herself transferred to another place. All the necessary approvals from competent authorities were obtained a few weeks ago. She needed to be relieved from the workplace so that she could join at her next place. But she was not getting relieved. The dealing clerk was telling her for the last three weeks that her case was “under process”. She wanted to get relieved so that she could join her family. Her crying was mainly because of her young child who was away from her.
I tried to console her and asked her to get seated while I called for the dealer. It turned out that the dealer was not available. I asked the personal officer to come.
While I was waiting for the personal officer, I asked the lady how she was posted in this place while her family was elsewhere. She informed me that she had got her appointment here on compassionate ground as her father was an employee here and he had died while he was in service. Her husband was posted in Ranchi and her child was there with him there. Her old mother in law had to take care of the child while her husband went out on his work.
I tried to make her comfortable by telling her that I too had grown up in Ranchi though I have not been to that place for last 25 years. She asked me where I studied. I informed her the name of my school and college, and also added that my school has now shifted to another location, whereas I had studied in this school when it was located in a location near Ranchi Railway station. She seemed to be aware of this place because she told me that her residence in Ranchi was in the same area of Ranchi where my school was earlier located.
I was feeling a bit nostalgic about Ranchi and would have talked some more about Ranchi but then the personal officer arrived. I informed him that the lady sitting there had applied for transfer to Ranchi and necessary permissions have already come three weeks back. The dealer is harassing her telling her that her case is under “process”. Please make sure that she is relieved within one hour.
I then turned to the lady and assured her that she would get relived and she should plan to leave for Ranchi on the same day.
She was barely able to believe her eyes. She did not believe that her work could get done so fast. She thanked me. I said it was alright. But she kept thanking me again and again. I told her that it was in my nature to help people and that is what I was doing now as well. She sought water. I asked her to walk into the adjacent room where she would get a glass of water. She went to the adjacent room and there I heard voices offering her water and consoling her telling her to get calm and to compose herself.
After a while the personal officer brought me a file seeking my approval to get her relieved. I signed the file silently. I did not remind him to quickly get it done with as that instruction was already given earlier.
In the second half, I wondered if the lady had received her relieving letter. I thought about enquiring from the personal officer. But before I could do that, I found the same lady entering my chamber informing me with glee that she had got her relieving letter. I expressed happiness that she had finally been relieved.
She left the chamber. I began to wonder when she would reach Ranchi. There is one direct train to Ranchi but that takes a very long semicircular route instead of taking a straight route and takes 24 hours. On checking on internet, I found that if one went to Varanasi (six hours journey from Gorakhpur) then there were lots of direct trains from Varanasi to Ranchi that took around ten hours to reach there. I was sure that people going to Ranchi, including the lady, may already be aware of this route.
I wondered whether I should have asked her for her travel plan, but then told myself that it was not needed. I had done her a good deed. She was quite broken and disconsolate when she had entered my chamber earlier in the morning. In the afternoon, she was a happy and relieved person, who was looking forward to get reunited with her family for all times to come. And I had made it possible for her. I was sure that lots of good words and blessings may have come my way behind my back. She may have phoned her family back home and may have informed them that she met me and she got her papers in a matter of hours. Not only she, even her family members back at Ranchi may have given their blessings to me.
That was two days ago. I am sure she must have arrived Ranchi by now and would have reported at her new place of posting in Ranchi. In a less sombre light, I wondered if she would visit the cricket ground to watch the ODI that is takng place at Ranchi today. Of course not. She would be too overwhelmed at the moment and she would be getting visited by her relatives and friends. And her young child must have felt mightily relieved and happy to see her mother.
In the evening, my wife called me on phone. It is her habit that she tells me daily about whatever happens in her workplace. She too had done some blessing worthy job in her workplace and she told me about that. I in turn informed her about my nek deed. She felt happy as well. I was dreading hearing her follow up question, but fortunately she did not ask that question. That question would have been- “You helped that lady get united with her spouse. When will you try to do the same for yourself as well ?” As things stand, she keeps reminding me every now and then that I should try and get myself transferred to MP. That is there in the rules as well-“If a spouse is in state service and another one is in central service then the spouse in central service will apply to get transferred to the state where the other spouse in posted and the employer of the central government will try his best to post the central government employee to that state.”
My wife feels the need more than me, because she is a working lady herself. She needs my support and advice on her professional work almost every day. At the same time, she is far more empowered and strong than most working ladies. So she is able to take care of herself in a far better manner than say the lady whom I helped. But the principles remain the same, of course. Now I shudder to think how she almost single handedly raised our daughter while I was posted at places different than her place of posting. It helped though that I was posted in the same state while our daughter began to go to school. No matter what the situation, every child needs and deserves to live with both of his/her parents.
I realised that today (8 march 2019) is Women’s day. And in a way, I inadvertently gave a nice Women’s day gift to the lady. Today, I will be attending a Women’s day function in the office. I think that I may have already done something more worthwhile that mouthing a few platitutes in that gathering. And I felt quite satisfied and proud of myself.
On this occasion, here is a suitable song that tells us that we should do good for others because what we do to others comes back to us. The song is from “Khul Ja Sim Sim”(1956). The song is sung by Rafi (an appropriate singer for a song of this genre, if I must add). Asad Bhopali is the lyricist. Music is composed by Hansraj Bahl.
Only the audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
Song-Ye hai kaanoon uska jisne ye duniya banaai hai(Khul Ja Sim Sim)(1956) Singer-Rafi, Lyrics-Asad Bhopali, MD-Hansraj Bahl
Lyrics
aa aa aa
ye hai kaanoon uska
jisne ye duniya banaai hai
ye hai farmaan uska
jiski ye saari khudaai hai
o o o o
o o o
bhalaai kar bhala hoga
buraai kar bura hoga
bhalaai kar bhala hoga
buraai kar bura hoga
bhalaai kar bhala hoga
buraai kar bura hoga
koi dekhe na dekhe
par khuda to dekhta hoga
isi duniya mein jannat hai
yahi duniya jahannum hai
agar aamaal achche hain
to phir kis baat ka gham hai
tere aamaalnaame se hi tera faisla hoga
bhalaai kar bhala hoga
buraai kar bura hoga
koi dekhe na dekhe
par khuda to dekhta hoga
bhala hoga
aa aa
bhala hoga
aa aa aa
yahaan neki badi do raaste hain
gaur se sun le
tujhe jaana hai kis manzil pe
apna raasta chun le
kadam uthne se pahle soch le
anjaam kya hoga
bhalaai kar bhala hoga
buraai kar bura hoga
koi dekhe na dekhe
par khuda to dekhta hoga
bhala hoga
aa aa
bhala hoga
aa aa aa
gareebon ki madad kar
bekason ka saath deta ja
ye sauda naqad hai
is haath de is haath leta ja
wahi kaam aayega tere
jo toone de diya hoga
bhalaai kar bhala hoga
buraai kar bura hoga
koi dekhe na dekhe
par khuda to dekhta hoga

Dear Atulji,
I don’t know about this “feel good” factor, but one felt elated that even in today’s dog-eat-dog world, chivalry is not dead.
Hat’s off to you for doing what you did and for reminding others that they too can contribute in their own small way.
As for myself, at the age of 75+, one can’t do much except to only read about Songs posted by you and your esteemed contributors and relive the days gone by.
I am going to mark your Post as “unread”, so that I can read it first thing in the morning everyday.
May you and your fellow Rulers of “ATULDOM” (reads so much better than Kingdom – and there’s no such thing as as “Queendom”; so much for Gender Equality and all that) continue to “Light Lamps for others”.
With warmest regards
PARTHA CHANDA

Thanks for your appreciation. Indeed, some seemingly small deeds (for you) make a world of difference to the beneficiary.
