Lala ki chai, Govardhan

Thand ka mausam tha...

Ghar waalon ka mann tha ki is baar Govardhan ki parikrama lagaayi jaaye.

Unhone mujhse poocha — "Beta, tu busy to nahi?"

Maine halki awaaz mein, madhur swaron se kaha — "Chalein."

Ek halki si muskaan chehre par aai... aur hum nikal pade.

Raasta Aur Ruk Ruk Ke Chalte Kadam

Beech raaste mein rukna, tehalna, kahin petrol dalwaana, kahin khaana khaana, kahin bas thodi der aaraam karna...

Kohra itna tha ki gaadi dheemi dheemi chalani pad rahi thi.

Aur phir... Govardhan aa gaya.

Braj Ki Raj

Pohonchte hi — Braj ki raj ko jab mathe se lagaya...

Mann shaant ho gaya.

Maano jitni bhi pareshani thi — Bihari ji ne saari apni ore kheech li.

Halki halki dhoop thi. Mann mein ek naya ehsaas tha. Khushi thi.

Gaadi se samaan nikaala, room tak le gaya, thoda aaraam kiya... aur hum nikal pade parikrama ke liye.

Daan Ghati — Pehla Charan

Parikrama ka pehla charan hai — Daan Ghati Mandir.

Jahan Thakur ji ne maakhan ka daan liya tha.

Adbhut darshan ka saubhagya prapt hua.

Aur jaise hi bahar nikle...

Meri nazar chai ko talaash kar rahi thi.

Thand ka mausam, parikrama ki shuruaat — ek cup chai mil jaaye to dil aur dimag dono ko sukoon aa jaaye.

Main idhar udhar nazar daudaane laga...

Wo Saji Hui Dukaan

Tabhi ek saji hui dukaan dikhi.

Bilkul parikrama marg ki shuruaat mein — seedhe haath ki taraf, mandir ki taraf apna rukh liye.

Aur uske baaju mein — ek adbhut, aalokik Satyanarayan ji ka mandir.

Mandir ke darshan kiye... aur us dukaan par pahuncha.

Dukaan waale bhaiya ne dekha aur poocha:

"Paan khaoge ya chai?"

Meri aankhein unhe sab bata rahi thi.

Shayad unhe samajh aa gaya — kyunki bina kuch sune hi unhone kaha:

"Mann se chai banata hoon aaj aapke liye... pee kar dekhna, pasand aayegi."

Mere bina bole — unhone mere dil ki baat jaan li.

Intezaar Ka Wo Pal

Bahar log jamaа the.

Koi parikrama shuru kar raha tha, koi poori karke wapas darshan karne aa raha tha.

Main unki di hui bench par baitha — aur chai banti hui dekhne laga.

Chai ki khushbu dilo-dimag tak pahunch rahi thi.

Thand ke mausam mein chai ka intezaar...

Samay ki sui dheere dheere chalti rahi.

Aur phir awaaz aayi —

"Bhaiya... chai lo."

Pehli Sip

Kulhad ke bade se cup mein vo chai meri taraf aayi.

Maine phoonk maari — garam itni thi ki dono haath se pakadna pada, jacket ki jeb se doosra haath nikaala...

Aur phir dheere se — pehli sip.

Kanha ji ki bhoomi mein. Braj ki raj mein. Govardhan ki parikrama mein.

Ye ek cup chai jo mili — iska ehsaas mann mein hamesha rehta hai.

Khushi se mann jhoom utha.

Bhaiya Ki Baat

Maine poocha — "Bhaiya, kab tak khuli rehti hai dukaan?"

Bhaiya muskuraye aur bole:

"Ye Govardhan hai lala... yahan dukaanein band nahi hoti."

"Chai kaisi lagi?"

Maine pyaare swaon mein kaha — "Bhaiya, dil khush kar dene waali chai hai aapki."

Mann hi mann tript ho gaya tha main.

Woh muskuraye aur bole — "To phir aate hue bhi ek cup chai zarur lena mere haath se."

Parikrama Ke Baad Bhi...

Parikrama se aane ke baad bhi —

Main wapas us dukaan par gaya.

Ek aur kulhad.

Ek aur pal.

Dosto... kabhi Govardhan parikrama lagaane jaana ho —

To us dukaan ki chai zarur peena.

Aapka mann tript ho jaayega.
