I wrote this silly story few years back but last night I really experienced it. I am so sorry cat... Loved you a lot...
Aaj
maine sadak par ek laash dekha. Billi ki laash. Koi ajibsi billi thi
yah jo na yaha ki thi, na vaha ki thi. Kahi beech ki thi yah billi,
ya shayaad kahi ki nahi thi.
Sadak par billi ki laash.
Aisa laga ki billi kahi daurti thi bahut samay se. kaha dorti thi? Kaha se? kyo? Yah mujhe nahi maloom. Shayaad billi ko bhi maloom nahi thi. Shayaad daurna lakshya se zyada mahattvapoorn tha? Shayaad koi lakshya nahi tha? Shayaad na koi ant ana koi shooruvaad tha, shayaad daurne kea lava kuch bhi nahi tha… kisko pata?
Sadak par daurte hui billi ki lash.
Shaayad ab hi, mar jane ke baad billi ko pata chala ki daurne ka karan kyat ha? Ya shayaad yah hi pata chala ki koi bhi karan tha nahi. Sirf shunyata. Aur kutte. Shunyata aur kutte.
Sadak par daurte hue billi ki lash kutto ke beech.
Bahut sare kutte the aas paas. Kuch na kuch kutte apna safed daant dikha rahe the. Safed daant par khun ki choti si bundiya dikh rahi thi. Billi ka khun.
Sadak par daurte hue billi ki laash safed daantwale kutto ke beech.
Kuch na kuch kutte chup chap baithte the. Aisa lagta tha ki ve intazaar kar rahe hain. Jab dusre kutte billi ki laash apne daant se tod denge tab ye chup chap baithe hue kutte apne daant se billi ka dil chote chote tukdo me tod denge. Kha lege. Har khun ki bundi piyege.
Sadak par daurte hue billi ki laash safed daantwale kutto ke beech jo sirf khun ka intezaar kar rahe the.
„Mujhe paisa do! Koi mujhe paisa nahi deta hai!Mujhe paisa chahiye! Aaj do, kal do, apna sherwala uncle se mangvao paisa mere liye!” – Ek kutte ne bola.
„Mujhe apna sharir do! Mujhe sharir chahiye kisi ka” – dusre kutte ne bola, ya shayaad yah bhi us pahle kutte ki avaaz thi.
„Yah billi hai, koi kutta nahi! Usko yaha rahne ki zaroorat nahi hai! Bhaga do usko yaha se!!!” – ek kutti ki avaaz.
„Main us billi ko janta hu” – ek aur kutte ne bola – “main us billi ke saath khel raha tha pahle. Accha khel tha! Bahut accha! Main billi ko katta tha, bahut katta tha, itna katta tha ki uske sharer se khun nikalne laga. Is khun ka mahak kitna mitha tha! Aur bevakuf billi bar bar mujhe apna sharir ka kuch naya hissa dikhati thi katne ke liye! Kitna accha khel tha! Tum bhi khel sakte ho!.”
Billi ki laash ne jo sadak par thi achanak thoda sa hilne lagi. Shaayad vo abhi tak zindi thi yah billi? Usne aankh kholi. Kahi door dekh rahi thi yah billi. Aisa lag raha tha ki vaha kuch hai… kuch hai jo sirf billi dekh sakti hai… Shaayaad billi ko laga raha tha ki vaha door koi hai. Aisa koi jo hai. Aisa koi jo aaega. Uske haatth me lathi hoga aur vo sare kutto ko bhagaega vaha se. Shaayaad billi ko laga ki un kutto ke beech ek aadmi tha. Srishthi ka pahla aadmi. Srishthi ka pahla insaan jo janta tha ki insaan ko kabhi kabhi insane banna hai aur apne pagalpan me daurna hai kahi door.
Shaayaad billi ne kuch dekha vaha.
Kya vaha koi tha? Yah hum kisi se puchh bhi nahi sakte hain. Yah to sirf billi ki laash janti hai. Yahi laash jo sadak par hai kutto ke beech. Kutto ne kisi ko dekha nahi, lekin billi us taraf hi dekh rahi thi. Kya vaha sach me koi tha? Ya shaayad yah sir ek sapna tha jo billi ne marne se pahle dekha. Kisko pata?
Sadak par daurte hue billi ki laash ko jo safed daantwale kutto ke beech, jo sirf khun ka intezaar kar rahe the.
Sare kutte billi ke paas aae. Unke safed daant aur laal laal billi ka khun…
Safed aur laal.
Kutte aur billi.
Sadak par billi ki laash.
