Railway Station Se Thodi Dur Pehle

Railway Station Se Thodi Dur Pehle

Insaan ka dar hi hai jo bhoot or aatmaao ko akarshit karta hai. Ye ghatna tab ki hai jab main 8th class me padha karta tha.Us waqt mere chacha ji ki naukri ek factory me lagi jo ki Kanpur ke InterState Bus Terminal ke paas kahin padti hai, me wahan kabhi gaya nahi hu isliye exactly nahi bata sakta. Wo factory ek pan masala banane wali factory thi. Chacha ji wahan dopeher 3 baje se raat 11 baje tak kaam karte the. Humare ghar (cantt) se bahut jyada duri nahi hai isliye chacha ji cycle se hi aana jana karte the.

Dosto railway station ke paas Ghanta Ghar se Jhakarkati Bus Terminal jane ke liye ek pul bana hua hai. Us pul ke niche se railway track jate hai. Kyuki wahan se railway station bahut paas hai isliye ye track bhi bahut saare hai. In railway tracks ke dono taraf kafi bastiyan bani huyi. Ap logo mese jo bhi koi agar kabhi kanpur gaya hoga to jarur dekha hoga ke railway station aane se pehle track ke bagal kafi basti basi huyi hai. In bastiyon ke bich se kayi raste bane huye hain or yahan rehne wale log bina kisi rok tok ke railway tracks paar karte hain. Jiski wajah se kayi baar log train ki chapet me ane ki wajah se apni jaan gava dete hain.

Basti walo ko to thoda bahut andaza bhi hai ki railway track ko red signal me par karne ka magar aksar anjaan log jo pul ke thode lambe rasto or jaam se bachne ke liye in bastiyo ke raste shortcut lete hain or in tracks par apni jaan se hath dho lete hain. Ek baat or batana chahunga, shayad ap mese kayi logo ne is baat ka anubhav kiya hoga ki jis jagah par ek do durghatnaye ho jaati hai wahan fir aksar durghatna hoti rehti hain.

Iski wajah hai wahan marne waalo ki bhatakti atma, wo aksar or logo ko bhi apni taraf khichti hain jiski wajah se wo log bhi durghatna ke shikar ho jate hain or wahan pehle se maujood aatma or bhi shaktishali ho jaati hai. Jitni jyada maut hongi wo jagah utni hi khatanak ho jaygi. Kayi baar apne suna hoga ke train me chadte waqt kisi ka paanv fisal gaya or wo train ke niche aa gaya. Koi track paar karte huye gir pada or train us par se guzar gayi ya fir kayi log laparwahi se train ke niche aa gaye.

Dosto esi ghatnayen jyada tar apne aap nahi hoti, wo wahan ki atma dwara karwayi jaati hai. Isliye esi jagaho par hamesha saavdhani baratni chahiye. Khair ab me kahani par ata hu. Baat December ke time ki hai mere chacha ji ki naukri araam se chal rahi thi. Roz ka waise hi ana jana lagaa hua tha. Wo apni naukri or wahan ke shift ke anusar us samay ke aadi ho chuke the. 10 December ko mere chacha ji bete ka Janamdin tha.

Isliye hum sabne pure Jashn ki taiyari kar rakkhi thi. Chacha ji se humne us din chhutti lene ko kaha kyuki agar wo 11 baje aate to party me kafi der ho jaati. Chacha ji ko us din factory me koi jaruri kaam tha isliye unhone chhutti karne se to mana kar diya lekin jaldi aane k liye raazi ho gaye unhone 8 baje se pehle aane ki baat kahi. Apne kahe ke anusar chacha ji ne shaam 7 baje se hi chhutti le li or ghar ki taraf chal pade. Us din Jhakarkatti pul par bahut jyada jaam laga hua tha itna ke chacha ji ko wahan khade khade 45 minut beet gaye.

Jab chacha ji ko laga ke wo jyada late ho jayenge ko unhone pul ke niche un bastiyo ke bich wale raste se railway track ko paar karke jaane ki thaan li or wapas mud gaye. Raat ke yahi koi 8 bajne wale the basti ki galiyo me sannata sa tha kafi kafi dur par bas kuch log dikhte jo aag ke ird gird baith kar haath taap rahe the. Chacha ji un galiyo se guzarte huye railway track par pahuche. Unhone paar karne se pehle signal ki taraf dekha, un signals mese ek haraa tha matlab koi train ane waali thi. Chacha ji ne us train ke guzar jaane ke baad hi track ko paar karne ka faisla liya. Track par kafi dur chacha ji ko ane wali train ke engine ki roshni dikhayi de rahi thi.

Chacha ji uske guzarne ke intzaar me idhar udhar dekhne lage. Thand us waqt bahut jyada to nahi thi magar dhundh ka asar tha. Thodi der idhar udhar dekhne ke baad chacha ji ko track ke dusri taraf apni hi seedh me kuch log baithe dikhayi diye. Chacha ji ne socha honge yahan ke garib log ya fir nashedi jo aag jala kar baithe honge. Chacha ji unpar jyada dhyan dene lage magar roshni kam hone ke kaaran unhe achi tarah kuch samajh nahi aa raha tha.

Unhe fir wo sab log thode ajeeb lage kyuki unke bich koi aag nahi jal rahi thi. Train tab tak har ghadi or bhi jyada karib aati jaa rahi thi, or train ki badhti roshni me chacha ji un logo ko samjhne ki koshish kar rahe the. Jab train kafi karib aayi to chacha ji ne dekha ki wo log ek ghera bana kar baithe kuch khaa rahe the. Unhone samjha ka railway ke majdur hain aaj shayad night duty me yahin khana kha rahe hain.

Train jab unke saamne se bilkul guzarne wali thi to roshni me chacha ji ne dekha ke wo log yahi koi 5 ya 6 log the. Thode gande se kapde pehne huye bahut jaldi jaldi khane me lage huye the or apna hath chaat chaat kar saaf karte fir khaate. Unme se ek ne tabhi mud kar chacha ji ki taraf dekha. Tabhi us drashya or chacha ji ke bich wo train thodi dhimi raftar se guzarne lagi. Koi chhoti passenger train thi use guzarne me karib 20 seconds ka samay laga.

Jese hi train guzri chacha ji ne unki taraf dekha to dang reh gaye ab wahan koi nahi tha. Ye dekh kar chacha ji ne apne man ko ye soch kar manaa liya ke wo log shayad nashe baaz honge jo kisi ko ataa dekh kar bhaag gaye. Chacha ji ne dono taraf signal ki jaanch ki or apni naak ki sidh me bad gaye. Cycle uthate huye andhere me wo tracks paar karne lage. Jab wo saare tracks paar karke akhri track par pahuche to unke pair me kuch laga or wo ladkhada kar girte girte bache. Ye wahi jagah thi jahan unhone un logo ko dekha tha.

Khud ko sambhalte huye unhone apne chhote se thaile se torch nikali jo wo factory jate samay hamesha sath rakhte the. Jab unhone torch jala kar dekha to unke paanv ke niche se jaamin sarak gayi or wo wahin kuch der jame reh gaye. Wahan ek aadmi ki laash padi thi jo train ki chapet me aakar kat gaya tha. Jiska kamar se niche ka hissa track ke bich tha or kamar se upar ka hissa track ke bahar. Thodi der to unhone ye nazara dekha or fir khud ko samhaalte huye man me ye socha ke "Abto ye mar hi gaya hai mare huye se kya darna." Itna sochte huye wo cycle par sawar hokar apne raaste chal diye.

Raaste me unhe bar bar us aadmi ki laash yaad aa rahi thi. Achanak unhe fir un logo ko khayal aya jinko chacha ji khane khaate huye dekha tha. Unki samajh me aa gaya ki wo log insaan nahi the wo pret the, jo us laash ko kha rahe the. Itna soch kar unke thand me bhi pasine chhutne lage fir unhe khayal aya ke laash or kahin se bhi nochi huyi ya kati huyi nahi thi to wo kha kese rahe the. Fir unhone socha ke wo saare pret unhe darana chahte the. Is khayal ko sach maan kar chacha ji un preto ko gaali dete huye ghar chale aaye. Chacha ji ki ye dhaarna thi ke agar dar laage to us daraane wale ko gaali dene se dar dur ho jata hai or haath me aag hoto kabhi bhoot pret paas nahi aate.

Chacha ji ko nahi pata tha ke unki ye dono dhaarnayen ab galat hone wali thi. 15 minut me Ghar pahuch kar chacha ji ne hum sabke sath bete ka janamdin manaya. or us baat ko kisi ko bhi na batane ka faisla lete huye bhulaane ki koshish karne lage. Unhe na koi pareshani huyi or naa hi koi sapne me dikhayi diya. Ab chacha ji is baat ko kabhi sochne bhi pasand nahi karte the. Karib ek hafte baad Chacha ji ko apne kisi dost ki shadi me jana tha to us din chacha ji ne pul ki taraf bina dekhe hi shortcut se jaane ka man bana liya tha. Pichhli ghatna ki tasvir dimag me jarur thi magar us ghatna se unhe koi fark nahi pada tha isliye unhe esa karne ki himmat aayi. Ye soch kar chacha ji us raste dubara chal pade ke roz roz esa thodi na hota hai kabhi kabhar koi kat jata hoga.

Is baar chacha ji jab track ke paas pahuche to unhone do signal green dekhe matlab tha ke railway station ki taraf se do train jaane wali thi. Or wo wahin khade hokar train ka intezaar karne lage. Or apne dar ko chhupane ke liye or apni dhaarna ko prabal karne liye ek cigrate jala li. Ab wo thode nishchint the unke hath me aag thi ab unhe koi pret chhu nahi sakta tha. Koi 30 seconds hi beete honge ke unke paas aadmi aya jisne kambal odha hua tha, chandni raat thi isliye chacha ji ko kafi kuch dikhayi de raha tha.

Us aadmi ke sath ek bacha tha jisko usne god me uthaya hua tha. Us aadmi ne is tarah se kambal odha hua tha ke kambal uske or bachche dono ke sar ke upar se aya hua tha. Kambal ke andar chehra hone ki wajah se chacha ji ne unki shakal nahi dekhi. Us aadmi ne karib aakar chacha ji se pucha "Naye ho babu ji?" "nahi, me to bachpan se yahin kanpur me rehta hu magar aj dusri bar yahan se patriyan paar kar raha hu." chacha ji ne jawab diya. "Kuch dikhayi vikhayi to nahi diya apko? log aakar aksar dar jaate hain." usne kaha.

chacha ji thode se achambhit huye or socha ke ye yahin ka rehna wala hai iske liye ye koi nayi baat nahi hogi. "Dekha tha chacha, pichhli baar kayi preto ko dekha tha ek laash ko khaate huye." chacha ji jawab diya. "Laash nahi khaate kewal khoon chaat te hain wo. Magar dare nahi tum, bahut bahadur ho dubara chale aaye." usne kaha. Chacha ji ko shock lag gaya tha uski baat sunkar fir chacha ji khud ko bahadur samajhte huye kaha "Are chacha darna kesa. Ho sakta hai hum bhi kabhi mar kar unke jese ban jaaye."

"haan ye baat to sahi keh rahe ho, magar gaali naa dete to acha tha. Maafi maang kar yahan se paar karna." usne samjhaate huye kaha. "Apko kese pata ke mene unhe gaali di?" Chacha ji ne thoda darte huye kaha. "Are me wahin leta tha patri paar, or tum gaali dete huye jaa rahe the. Aksar gaali dene wale mar jaate hain isliye samjha raha hu." usne chacha ji se kaha. Ye sun kar chacha ji sann ho gaye. "Jo koi bhi ho yahan me apni galati mante huye apse maafi chahta hu apko kabhi gaali nahi dunga.

Bas chacha ab thik hai na?" Chacha ji ne dar kar maafi mangi or fir us aadmi se kaha. "haan ab thik hai bahut akalmand ho. Jao paar kar jao train aane me der hai." usne thoda has kar kaha. Chacha ji ne signal ke taraf dekha to saare laal the. Chacha ji ko kafi achambha hua magar baat ko khatm karte huye chacha ji ne apni cigrette bujhayi or paar karne ke liye apni cycle pakdi. "Ek cigrette to pila do yaar, aag paas rahegi to koi bhoot mere paas nahi ayega." us aadmi ne has ke kaha. "haan ye to hai isliye chalo me bhi ek or cigrette jala leta hu."

Chacha ji ne sehmati jatate huye has kar kaha or do cigrette nikalkar ek muh me dabayi or ek us admi ko di. Fir machis nikaal kar jalane lage. Chacha ji ke man me ab thoda dar baith chuka tha. Chacha ji ne jese hi machis jalayi to nazar niche hi thi unhone dekha ki jo bacha us aadmi ki god me tha us ki taange itni lambi thi ke puri kamar ko jhakde huye thi magar sharir kisi 6 mahine ke bache jesa tha. Jese hi chacha ji machis jala kar uski cigrette jalane ke liye uske chehre ki taraf badaya unhone dekha ki us aadmi ke gale se khoon beh raha tha jese ke gala kaat kar dubara joda gaya ho chehra adha tha or adha kewal kankal tha sirf haddi.

Adhi taraf ke chehre me ankh futi huyi thi or khoon bahe jaa raha tha. Itna bhayanak drashya dekh kar chacha ji ke hath paanv kaanp uthe or wo wahin behosh ho gaye. Subah jab logo ne unhe uthaya to chacha ji ne sabko sach sach bata diya. Kuch ne mana kuch ne afwaah samajh kar bhula diya. Unme se ek bujurg vyakti kafi ache the wo chacha ji ko ghar bhi chhorne aye. or chacha ji ki baat ka vishwas bhi mana. Hum sab raat bhar pareshan huye jarur the magar ye soch kar ke factory me koi kaam aa gaya hoga nishchint hokar so gaye the. us waqt mobile ka bhi khas chalan nahi tha.

Is ghatna ke baad aag se bhooto ko daraane wali or gaaliyon se dar door karne waali dhaarna ka ant ho gaya. Magar chacha ji ko na us pret ne tang kiya kyoki wo maafi mang chuke the or na hi sapne me dikhayi diya. Thoda bukhar aa gaya tha dar wajah se or kuch nahi hua tha. Us ke baad se chacha ji ne durghatna se dair bhali ka marg apnaya or fir dubara kabhi shortcut nahi liya.
