I was appearing for a psycho-test which was part of an interview for
MR in a pharmacy company. Next question was fired "OK write down 10
keywords that reminds you of
your home-town in next 10 secs? - 'Bhujia, Rasgulla, Wool,
sand-dunes, KEM Road, Kotegate, Junagarh......
Well the interview was over and I was back at home. The words that had
struck my mind but I did not dare to jot there -
Soorsagar, the railway-crossings near Kotegate, the traffic police and 'saands'
(bulls) standing side by side at different points on
KEM road ........ and many more.
The issues are old, as old as my memory goes
back And anyone who lives in Bikaner or love Bikaner can never be indifferent to them.
I immediately contacted "Netaji" reminding him of all these age
old problems-" Are bhai ae sab mahare agenda mayen hain, tame aan do sab
hoo jaayee; Ek to mahne aayan abaar tame hi kitto hoyo
hai or pher abaar assemblee mein turbulence ghani chal re hai"
I said- "Maharaj agar they ki initaitive lo to mahre kane ek volunteers ki teem hai, ae age-old election-issues solve ho sake hai. "
The smile on his face realized me of my callowness " Are
bhaya Ramji ro dhanewaad karo ki aapni constituency ae hi issues hai - aakhyan khol ke duniya mayeen dekho kisa issues pe
log
election lade hai-communal-riots, jaat-paat, danga, sosal insecurity,
poullution ...... kam-u-kum aapane Bikaner mein ae sab ragda to koni"
I was feeling very lucky moving back to home.
