Honesty comes for a price


Honesty comes for a price
********************
And then suddenly he shouted " that's enough ! If you think so, you may leave the house"
She appeared shocked. She took some time to regain her composure. She politely asked "what exactly has disturbed you?"
" Nothing" he fumed.
"I am sure, something that I said must have ! Please tell me, did I say something the way you have not taught me"
" ....... "
" Tell me please, you have always encouraged me to be open and honest and frank. And now you are not frank."
"it's OK"
" Please, please tell me ... " she said with tears in her eyes. She realized, she has hurt him. " You love me naa? Tell me, what has hurt you, I will not say that again.. "
" .... You know .. I just realized, it is easy to expect honest views from your dependents. But when they are honest, it hits hard, real hard"
She hugged him. Sobbing she said " I will not hurt you any more, I love you"
" No, be courageous to be honest with your feelings. Express them. That will help me to be brave" he said patting her head.
She looked at him. He was not sure if she trusted him, nor was she !!
Both realised one thing for sure. Honesty comes for a price !!

रिक्षा - एक अनुभव



डॉक्टर कडून घरी येताना , बायकोला म्हटले तुला घरी सोडतो आणि मी केमिस्ट कडून औषध घेऊन येतो. घरी पोचलो, रिक्षावाल्याला पैसे दिले आणि मी पुढे चालू लागलो. चार पावले पुढे गेलो तो मागून रिक्षावाला आला म्हणाला " आगे जाना है, बैठिये साब छोड देता हूँ " म्हटले " अरे, बस यही नुक्कड़ तक जाना है" . " मैं भी उस तरफ जा रहा हूँ, बैठिये" . बसलो.   त्याने सोडले केमिस्ट पाशी !!
मग्रूर रिक्षावाल्यांनी गजबजलेल्या रस्त्यावर असे एक दोनच  भले रिक्षावाले भेटले कि माझा रिक्षावाला ह्या संस्थेवरचा विश्वास पुनर्स्थापित होतो आणि मी बाहेर जायला निघालो कि "रिक्षाsss" अशी  प्रेमळ हाक मारून माझ्या संयमाची परीक्षा देतच राहतो.
