NAAMKARAN

Today’s day was not that bright, there was blackness of clouds over the sky, may be this was the signal of god that today again, the future of an innocent soul is going to be putted in a dark cramp hole from where no one will be able to rescue his future.Chotu and his mother were moving on the road from today chotu will work on the tea stall of mahajan as his father “kalu” is out for 5 months with a big group of sheeps of rajaji and he will return on the arrival of mansoon. And this cause tea glasses in chotu’s hand. After this dark journey they finally reached the destiny of chotu’s life. Chotu’s mother said namaste to mahajan and ask chotu to do same. Mahajan said “oh! oh!this is your child,ok!ok! left him here” then he turned to chotu and said “from today you will qork with me”. And with this cinversation chotu was lefted on the stall and from today his empty hands were filled with tea glasses.As time passes, the pages of chotu’s life were turned and from 7 years old now he is of 16 and the only change comes to his life is now his name from being chotu turns to”ullu”. As he was not that clever and when he used to did any mistake his master call him ullu and that’s gets a name to him-“ullu”. Now he carries this word as his name identity. Soon ullu get married and after 10 years of his marriage now he have 2 children. Today when ullu came to home and said- tomorrow I will go with 1000 sheeps of rajaji and will come on the arrival of mansoon. Next morning ullu and his wife bhuri get up early. Bhuri gave all the required food materials to ullu and then she said today i will take our chotu to vishwa’s shop. These words were thunderclap to ullu. He was looking at his son qnd thought about that 7 year old ullu. He thought that once again! his story is going to repeat. Once again! his chotu will carry the high responsibilites of their home. Now once again! A 7 year old will become the bread earner of their family. Once again! No one will have time to give a meaningful name to mine chotu….for once ullu thought that should i give a name to mine chotu? But then he found nothing meaningful in his lives vocabulary. Then with a deep breath and wishing that please god! When once again! this story is going to repeat with mine chotu please give him some strength to change something. With this hope he turns to these sheeps and said hurr..! Hurrr…! now only dust left behind them and this dust eats the lives of many chotu’s everyyear in rajasthan…………..@ sanskriti
