No..no…no…This year no crackers..thats final & you have to celebrate dewali without crackers.If you think it is an order , then obey it.’ I told to my little daughter.

I could see a satishfied facial ex-pression of my wife(she does not like crackers, rather she is afraid of it)

‘But papa, all my friends will brust crackers, donot you think it is little too harash order ?I think you are becoming timid like mummy’.Pat came the comments.

‘There are so many reasons…like  heavy increase  in the price of crackers,noise pollution,waste of money,air pollution, danger of injury etc.But i am not fearing the crackers like your mother’.I tried to explain her.

‘In that case ,we can be little moderate & cut down our budget.Why complete ban ?Just think if there will be no cracker, neighbours will think somebody in our family has died.Even some of our neighbour may donate some crackers to me in the night.Don’t you think it will hurt your pride ?{She was doing an emotional blackmail }

Agian she asked me,’Papa, if you are so serious about savings, then how come you have purchased so expensive gift for Mummy for the Deewali ?The money spent on your official party could have been saved’…..{she was pitting the hard nails into my ego}

I was little stunned with her arguments.I had no reply.Without any dealy i took her to the nearby shop & both of us were busy in picking up the crackers.I just forgot my budget for the crackers. I became a small kid like my daughter & i was remembering my young days.

We came back home & met my wife at the door.Seeing the bagfull of crackers she was surprised & asked me , ‘What is all this ? Why then you were making the drama in the morning?Just to please me ?’

I didnot know what to say….My daughter just gave me sign in her eye…& both of us loudly shouted”HAPPY DEEPAVALI TO YOU DEAR “………… 

‘

I am bit nervous…..bit anxious…..somebody is coming very close to me.I do not know what will happen tomorrow.What others will think ?They will see & report about this from the news paper.Iam bit sceptic.

I know you people will be too happy to send this one to my HEART…..My heart is biting fast….

Yes it is….Because CHAND MERA DIL( MOON IS MY HEART)[i consider it like ]

Congrats to all the scientists , engg, officials of ISSRO & A.P.J.ABDUL.KALAM for the successful launching of CHANDRAYAN-1.Hope more will be thhere in future.Let us have a close look at my Heart…sorry at our beloved MOON…..

LETS GET THE PULSE RATE OF MOON……..

I can give a peice of moon to my beloved…….

Ravi was very sad today.I thought it may be due to some personal reason.As he is my boosom friend,i could not resist myself to ask him the cause of his sad mood.

Giving an empty look at me, he replied,”Do not act as if you do not know.From yesterday onward ban has  been implimented on smoking.People like you has nothing to loose , being nonsmokers.Rather you must have celebrated yesterday like Mini( his wife).”

I told , “But it is for betterment of our society & even for your health also. Now you can save also your medical bill.Mini bhabi will also have no complain’.

“Thats the main problem.As per Ministrial gazette we can smoke in open area, restricted area & in our house.From yesterday Mini has put one conditionthat if i smoke a cigaratte, then i have to pay 200\- fine to her .This is rediculous.She has even thretened me to complain to our office & if possible to health ministry about my smoking in house without her permission.”

I could not stop laughing. So Mr Ramdoss has given the ness fire power to housewives, even if it is in early stage.( i thought).

I asked politely ” So what have you decided now ?you will continue or leave ‘?

“Thats the biggest question.I shall loose heavily if i smoke in house, if caught outside police will torture.If i leave my mind will torture me.God knows why this law was passed ! ”Ravi exclaimed.

I just left that place & dialed Mini bhabi “Mini congratulation.you have won part battle. slowly your house is going to be SMOKE FREE”.

I could hear Mini bhabi’s proud laugh……..Thanx HEALTH MINISTER…..
