Ek basti mein do ghar aamne saamne waqeh thay. Ek ghar bara, roshan aur hamesha hansnay walay chehron se bhara rehta tha. Doosra ghar chhota sa, khamosh, jaise us ki deewarein bhi udaas hon.
The First House — The House of Happiness
Pehle ghar mein rehne wala khandaan ameer nahi tha, magar mohabbat se maala maal tha. Ghar walay kam cheezon mein bhi khush rehtay, ek dosray ka haath thaam kar mushkil waqt guzaar letay. Har shaam sehan mein baith kar kahaniyan sunayi jaati theen, hansi goonjti, aur mehnat ko ibaadat samajh kar har din jiya jata tha.
The Second House — The House of Silence
Doosray ghar mein daulat thi, saaz-o-samaan bhi bohat tha, magar dilon mein faaslay thay. Ghar bara hone ke bawajood, is mein sukoon kam aur behsein zyada theen. Ghar ke afraad aik hi mez par baithte bhi to ek dosray se door rehte, jaise baat karne se bhi bojh barh jaye.

One Day…
Ek raat bohat tez aandhi chali. Basti ke logon ne darwazay band kar liye, magar subah jab hawa thami to pata chala ke donon gharon ki chhat ko nuqsaan pohoncha hai.
Ghareeb ghar walon ne mil kar foran murammat shuru kar di. Mohabbat ne un ki thakan kam kar di thi aur himmat barha di thi.
Doosray ghar ke log, jinke paas sab kuch tha, aapas mein behs karte reh gaye— “Kaun karigar bulaye?” “Paise kaun dega?” “Mera kaam nahi!” Aur un ki murammat kai dinon tak shuru hi na ho saki.

Lesson
Is basti ne pehli dafa samjha ke ghar deewaron se nahi, dilon se bantay hain. Jahan mohabbat hoti hai, wahan mushkil bhi aasaan lagti hai. Aur jahan dil door hon… wahan behtareen ghar bhi insaan ko panah nahi de paate.
