Doctor Dave was there, he said ,” Dr. Saheb come with me chhote Chaudhary is calling you, We don’t know what happened to Malkin ( Madam ) Kamini Chaudhary, Dr. Knew a little bit ( in villages informations spread with the speed of wind and most of the times people add salt and paper in it and they become rumours) Dr. Dave didn’t ask any question and picked up his bag stethoscope and BP instrument, some injections and medicine ( Doctors keep basic needful things in their bags) they reached within fifteen minutes, Doctor was taken inside, Vasanti the cleaning lady helped Kamini Devi wearing proper saree. Doctor Dave asked some questions to the Patient she was speaking irrelevant things. He then gave her an injection.

 Kalyan Singh went to another room , he could sleep late at night, he woke up with the loud speaking of many people. He came out of his room and then out of the. Entrance.

Laughter !!

 *एक हास्यास्पद प्रस्तुती:*

*हमारे देश में अरेंज्ड मैरिज में, जब हम किसी लड़की को देखने जाते हैं, तो एक सवाल तो लगभग तय ही होता है:*

*“लड़का करता क्या है?”*

*सोहन का परिवार उसके लिए एक लड़की देखने गया। ड्राइंग रूम में चाय,* *नाश्ता और हल्की-फुल्की बातचीत खत्म होने के बाद, लड़की के पिता ने धीरे से मुख्य मुद्दे पर बात शुरू की:*

*“तो, आपका बेटा अभी क्या काम करता है?”*

*सोहन के पिता ने अपना चश्मा ठीक किया, गला साफ किया और पूरे कॉर्पोरेट-स्टाइल में एक प्रेजेंटेशन देना शुरू कर दिया:*

*“देखिए, हमारा सोहन अभी एक एग्रो-बेस्ड (खेती से जुड़े) ‘डायरेक्ट-टू-कंज्यूमर’ स्टार्टअप का फाउंडर और मैनेजिंग डायरेक्टर है। हम ऑर्गेनिक हेल्थ और वेलनेस सेक्टर में काम करते हैं।”*

*यह सुनकर, लड़की के पिता पहले से ही आधे इम्प्रेस हो चुके थे।*

*“वाह! तो आपका प्रोडक्ट असल में है क्या?”*

*सोहन के पिता ने पूरे आत्मविश्वास के साथ अपनी बात जारी रखी:*

*“हमारे मुख्य पोर्टफोलियो में हाई-प्रोटीन वाले भुने हुए अनाज और पारंपरिक कैरामलाइज्ड मिठाइयाँ शामिल हैं। हम कच्चा माल सीधे होलसेल सप्लाई चेन से लेते हैं, फिर उन्हें अपनी खुद की थर्मल प्रोसेसिंग यूनिट में बिना तेल के भूनते हैं। और सबसे खास बात यह है कि हमारी पैकेजिंग 100% इको-फ्रेंडली और बायोडिग्रेडेबल है!”*

*यह सब सुनकर लड़की का परिवार हैरान रह गया। यह तो किसी बड़ी मल्टीनेशनल कंपनी जैसा लग रहा था!*

*लड़की के चाचा खुद को पूछने से रोक नहीं पाए:*

*“तो आपकी कंपनी का मेन ऑफिस कहाँ है? और आपके यहाँ कितने कर्मचारी हैं?”*

*बिल्कुल भी घबराए बिना, सोहन के पिता ने जवाब दिया:*

“देखिए, यह आधुनिक ‘लीन स्टार्टअप्स’ का जमाना है, इसलिए हम दुकान के किराए और बिजली के बिल जैसे फालतू खर्चों से बचते हैं। हमारे पास एक मोबाइल रिटेल आउटलेट है, जिसकी जगह ट्रैफिक और लोगों की भीड़ के हिसाब से रोज बदलती रहती है। और पूरा काम मेरा बेटा अकेले ही संभालता है — वह एक ‘सोलोप्रेन्योर’ है!”*

*अब लड़की के पिता पूरी तरह से कन्फ्यूज हो गए।* *उन्हें लगा कि यह अंग्रेज़ी उनकी समझ से बाहर है।*

*तो उन्होंने कहा:*

*“मुझे यह मार्केटिंग वाली भाषा ठीक से समझ नहीं आई। क्या आप आसान शब्दों में समझा सकते हैं कि लड़का असल में करता क्या है?” ठीक उसी पल, कोने में बैठा उस लड़के का पक्का दोस्त धीरे से बोला:*

“अंकल, उनका कहने का मतलब यह है कि, हमारा भाई हाईवे पर सड़क किनारे एक ठेला लगाता है, जिस पर वह मूंगफली, भुने हुए चने और रेवड़ी बेचता है! वह एक कड़ाही में रेत डालकर चने भूनता है और उन्हें अखबार के बने लिफाफों में मोड़कर ग्राहकों को देता है — जिसे ये लोग ‘बायोडिग्रेडेबल पैकेजिंग’ कहते हैं!”*

*यह सुनकर, लड़की के पिता के हाथ से हैरानी के मारे चाय का कप लगभग छूट ही गया!*

*तो भाइयों, मार्केटिंग के शब्दों का जादू बहुत जबरदस्त होता है। अगर आपकी प्रस्तुति (presentation) काफी दमदार हो, तो मूंगफली और चने का एक ठेला भी किसी बड़ी ‘कॉर्पोरेट स्टार्टअप’ कंपनी जैसा लग सकता है!* *Statutory warning ; अपना पैसा startups और IPO में संभाल कर लगाएं*

Kalyan Singh and his mother came back that very day by the bus. Those who never lived a life of ordinary people are now ordinary. Those who were the so called landlords are now ashamed of the crime done at their own haveli by their own person. As I wrote before that Chandan Singh had no accountant or a Munshi type of person who could manage the income through lands.Chandan Singh never shared anything with his wife or son he was providing everything, the needful grocery was always bought by Deenu the main cook, they used to go together in Buggy to the district and buy the things for the whole year., vegetables sellers used to come and sell at the door step. Rest of the shopping like ornaments or clothes were always bought from District ‘s high class shops and for that the family used to go together, special tailor special shops for everything were fixed.But hardly any one would.  Know about the income a little bit Perhaps Shamu knew a lot but he is no longer alive now. Kalyan Singh searched Chandan Singh’s all things but didn’t find anything .Whenever he visited home for holidays  he wanted to ask him but couldn’t and always decided to ask next time .Kamini Devi didn’t know anything and now she was very stressed she couldn’t sleep. In fact she had not slept from the day Shamu was killed and Raja died ———Continued ——

As we know there were servants quarters at the back side of the haveli. One quarter for Ganga Das and his son Mathuradas , One for the main cook Deenu  who was thirty years old and was unmarried. One room for the cleaning lady Vasanti , she was approximately twenty five years of age , she was a widow as those days Marriages were done at early age and widow marriages were not done. One room for Shamu and One more for an assistant in kitchen he was Nanhe - age fifteen, his parents were living in the nearby village and every month were coming and taking his salary. Everyone was shocked with whatever happened and specially when Police arrested Chandan Singh Chaudhary and taken him in Jeep and next day had taken him to the District Court for first hearing. Police asked for fifteen days remand and court permitted. Kalyan Singh and his mother Kamini Devi went to meet Chandan Singh Chaudhary, they were permitted to meet him. Chandan Singh was silent and didn’t speak even a word.He was looking depressed, The regression was visible on his face Whatever he did in anger resulted to how many bad things, Raja even being an animal died of the shock, his own loving daughter committed suicide and he himself was arrested and he knew he might be punished by death sentence. ———- —- Continued ——

It was good that Kalyan Singh had completed his education there he was informed by a telegram about the misshaping and so he came back next day. He was deeply shocked by the unfortunate incidents happened there. He loved his sister very much and she is no more. He had seen his father a powerful man, a respected landlord and he was shocked to know that he was accused of one murder and responsible for his sister’s suicide. Shamu was an innocent and devoted worker in his view.He was thinking there was definitely some misunderstanding, he couldn’t believe the three untimely deaths Shamu who was killed cruelly, even his ashes were scattered around the haveli, now Police was collecting them to prove his murder, Raja who was a loyal and loving horse like a family member and Shamu was caring him like his own brother and so Raja even after being an animal couldn’t tolerate Shamu’s cruel murder and died. In history we have seen many loyal  horses as examples like Maharana Partap’s Chetak or Shubhrak etc. Kalyan Singh was sitting with her mother in her room. She was also not completely in her senses . Kalyan Singh understood now that it’s his responsibility to handle the situation, the lands and the money matters. But was he correct ——— Continued ———
