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.

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 .

Mathurada said, “ The story is so painful no one wants to repeat it or even remember it. But you people are the members of that family and don’t know what exactly happened I feel it’s my duty to tell you the reality. It was the third night when all family members and staff members were trying to sleep at their own places. And they slept too but early in the morning a huge crowd was standing around the haveli and talking loudly, indicating up , towards the tower clock, Chandan Singh Chaudhary and Kamini Devi also came out to know what was going on, at first my father Gangadas saw up and screamed, he said “ Look up Kavita Didi has committed suicide, she has hanged her self with the clock hands. The clock was showing 12.10 and till today it’s the same. Police van arrived there to remove the body , Kamini Devi was weeping loudly and speaking hard words to Chandan Singh “ It’s because of you that my daughter committed suicide, you are killer you have killed Shamu and his dear horse Raja also died because of Shamu’s murder, “ Police inspector Mr. Raghuraj Rathore got alarmed and he then started statements of each and every staff members , No one wanted to hide anything from the Police and they described each and every thing.

Dharm & Darshan !! Marathi Inspiring Story !!

 *'लायकी' दाखवण्याचे दिवस*

पहाट अजून पूर्ण उजाडली नव्हती. रस्त्यावरून अचानक एक खणखणीत आवाज आला,

“गवार वीस रुपये… 

कलिंगडं शंभरला तीन…!”

डोळे चोळत गॅलरीत आलो. खाली सोसायटीच्या गेटजवळ तेरा-चौदा वर्षांचा एक मुलगा हातगाडी घेऊन उभा होता. कपाळावर घाम, चेहऱ्यावर थकवा, पण आवाज मात्र दमदार. वॉचमन त्याला थोडं लांब उभं राहायला सांगत होता. मुलगा हात जोडून म्हणत होता, “थोडा वेळ थांबू दे ना काका”

मी वरूनच त्याला थांबायला सांगितलं. खाली गेलो तर काही बायका-पुरुष आधीच जमले होते. सगळे सोशल डिस्टन्सिंग ठेवून भाजी घेऊ लागलो.

इतक्यात तो मुलगा एका दादाला हळू आवाजात म्हणाला,

“दादा… तांब्याभर पाणी मिळेल का?”

दादाने तोंड वाकडं करत उत्तर दिलं,

“समोर चौकात टाकी आहे. तिथं जाऊन पिऊन ये. एवढ्या सकाळी तहान कशी लागली तुला?”

मुलगा शांतपणे म्हणाला, “साहेब, पहाटे पाचला घरातून निघालो. सात किलोमीटर चालत आलोय, बाटलीतलं पाणी संपलं.”

हे ऐकूनही कोणाच्या चेहऱ्यावर दया दिसली नाही. एक ताई तर लगेच म्हणाली, “अरे आम्ही तुला पाणी देणार आणि तुला कोरोना असेल तर? मग आम्हालाच लागेल ना!”

मुलगा काही बोलला नाही. फक्त आवंढा गिळून शांत उभा राहिला.

आम्ही स्वतःला सुशिक्षित, उच्चभ्रू समजणारी माणसं, पण त्या तहानलेल्या मुलाला पाण्याचा एक घोट देण्याची माणुसकी मात्र कुणाकडे नव्हती. मनात कुठेतरी सगळ्यांच्या चेहऱ्यावर एकच भावना दिसत होती,

“आज याला दिलं तर उद्या वॉचमन मागेल, परवा कचरा उचलणारी बाई मागेल”

इतक्यात एक स्कॉर्पिओ येऊन थांबली. त्यातून दाढी मिशीवाला एक रांगडा माणूस उतरला. त्याच्या हातात एक पिशवी होती. तो शांतपणे आला, ती पिशवी मुलाच्या हातगाडीवर ठेवली आणि म्हणाला, “उन्हाच्या आत घरी ये रे भैय्या.”

तो माणूस परत गाडीत बसला आणि निघून गेला.

आमच्यातल्या एका दादाने हसत विचारलं, “त्यांच्याकडे कामाला आहेस का तू?”

मुलाने पिशवीतून पाण्याची बाटली काढली. आधी चेहऱ्यावर पाणी मारलं, मग चार घोट पिऊन शांतपणे म्हणाला, “वडील होते माझे.”

क्षणभर सगळे शांत…

तरीही कुणीतरी प्रश्न विचारलाच, “मग घरी स्कॉर्पिओ असताना तू हातगाडीवर भाजी का विकतोस?”

मुलगा गवार तोलत म्हणाला, “घरी एक नाही, चार गाड्या आहेत ताई. तेवीस एकर बागायत आहे. पुण्यात मार्केटयार्डात तीन गाळे आहेत. पण तात्या म्हणतात,

लोकांची खरी नियत समजून घ्यायची असेल तर साध्या माणसासारखं जगून बघ.

आजच्या काळात गरीब माणसांशी लोक कसं वागतात ते पाहणं गरजेचं आहे.  उद्या सगळा धंदा मलाच सांभाळायचा आहे. रोज दोन-अडीच लाखांचा 

माल फिरतो, त्यासाठी लोकांची लायकी ओळखायला शिकायला हवं.”

त्याचं वाक्य संपलं, आणि आम्ही सगळे 

न बोलता पैसे देऊन आपापल्या फ्लॅटमध्ये निघून गेलो.

गॅलरीतून मी त्याला जाताना पाहत होतो. तो पुढे निघाला होता, आमची लायकी दाखवून, पुढच्या कुणाची लायकी पाहायला,

कधी कधी संपत्तीपेक्षा माणुसकी मोठी असते, आणि तीच खरी ओळख ठरते.
