[holi ka din]

(samay-9 baje ratri anandamohan tatha dayashankar vartalap karate ja rahe haian.)

anandamohan - ham logoan ko der to n huee. abhi to nau baje hoange !

dayashankar - nahian abhi kya der hogi !

anandamohan - vahaan bahut iantazar n karana. kyoanki ek to din bhar gali-gali ghoomane ke pashchath mujhamean iantazar karane ki shakti hi nahian doosare thik gyarah baje bordiang haus ka daravaza band ho jata hai.

dayashankar - aji chalate-chalate thali samane avegi. maianne to sevati se pahale hi kah diya hai ki nau baje tak saman taiyar rakhana.

anandamohan - tumhara ghar to abhi door hai. yahaan mere pairoan mean chalane ki shakti hi nahian. ao kuchh batachit karate chalean. bhala yah to batao ki parade ke sambandh mean tumhara kya vichar hai bhabhi ji mere samane ayeangi ya nahian kya maian. unake chandramukh ka darshan kar sakooanga sach kaho.

dayashankar - tumhare aur mere bich mean to bhaeechare ka sambandh hai. yadi sevati muanh khole hue bhi tumhare sammukh a jay to mujhe koee mlan nahian. kiantu sadharanatah maian parade ki pratha ka sahayak aur samarthak hooan. kyoanki ham logoan ki samajik niti itani pavitr nahian hai ki koee stri apane lajja-bhav ko chot pahuanchaye bina apane ghar se bahar nikale.

anandamohan - mere vichar mean to parda hi kucheshtaoan ka mool karan hai. parde se svabhavatah purushoan ke chitt mean utsukata utpann hoti hai aur vah bhav kabhi to boli-tholi mean prakat hota hai aur kabhi netroan ke katakshoan mean.

dayashankar - jab tak ham log itane dridhapratijn n ho jayan ki satitv-raksha ke pichhe pran bhi balidan kar dean tab tak parade ki pratha ko to dana samaj ke marg mean vish bona hai.

anandamohan - apake vichar se to yahi siddh hota hai ki yoorop mean satitv-raksha ke lie rat-din rudhir ki nadiyaan baha karati haian.

dayashankar - vahaan isi bepardagi ne to satitv-dharm ko nirmool kar diya hai. abhi maianne kisi samacharapatr mean padha tha ki ek stri ne kisi purush par is prakar ka abhiyog chalaya tha ki usane mujhe nirbhikatapoorvak kudrishti se ghoora tha kintu vicharak ne us stri ko nakh-shikh se dekh kar yah kah kar mukadama kharij kar diya ki pratyek manushy ko adhikar hai ki hat-bat mean naujavan stri ko ghoor kar dekhe. mujhe to yah abhiyog aur yah phaisala sarvatha hasyaspad jan p date haian aur kisi bhi samaj ko niandit karanevale haian.

anandamohan - is vishay ko chho do. yah to batao ki is samay kya-kya khilaoge mitr nahian to mitr ki charcha hi ho.

dayashankar - yah to sevati ki pak-kala-kushalata par nirbhar hai. pooriyaan aur kachauriyaan to hoangi hi. yathasanbhav khoob khari bhi hoangi. yathashakti khaste aur samose bhi ayeange. khir adi ke bare mean bhavishyavani ki ja sakati hai. aloo aur gobhi ki shorabedar tarakari aur matar dalamot bhi mileange. phirini ke lie bhi kah aya tha. goolar ke kophate aur aloo ke kabab yah donoan sevati khoob pakati hai. inake siva dahi-b de aur chatani-achar ki charcha to vyarth hi hai. haan shayad kishamish ka rayata bhi mile jisamean kesar ki sugandh u dati hogi.

anandamohan - mitr mere muanh mean to pani bhar aya. tumhari batoan ne to mere pairoan mean jan dal di. shayad par hote to u d kar pahuanch jata.

dayashankar - lo ab to a hi jate haian. yah tambakoovale ki dookan hai isake bad chautha makan mera hi hai.

anandamohan - mere sath baith kar ek hi thali mean khana. kahian aisa n ho ki adhik khane ke lie mujhe bhabhi ji ke samane lajjit hona p de.

dayashankar - isase tum nishshank raho. unhean mitahari adami se chidh hai ve kahati haian- jo khayega hi nahian duniya mean kam kya karega aj shayad tumhari badaulat mujhe bhi kam karanevaloan ki pankti mean sthan mil jave. kam se kam koshish to aisi hi karana.

anandamohan - bhee yathashakti cheshta karooanga. shayad tumhean hi pradhanapad mil jaye.

dayashankar - yah lo a gaye. dekhana sidhiyoan par aandhera hai. shayad chirag jalana bhool gayi.

anandamohan - koee harj nahian. timiralok hi mean to sikandar ko amrit mila tha.

dayashankar - aantar itana hi hai ki timiralok mean pair phisale to pani mean giroge aur yahaan phisala to patharili s dak par.

[jyotisvaroop ate haian ]

jyoti.-sevak bhi upasthit ho gaya. der to nahian huee dabal march karata aya hooan.

dayashankar - nahian abhi to der nahian huee. shayad apaki bhojanabhilasha apako samay se pahale khianch layi.

anandamohan - apaka parichay karaie. mujhe apase dekha-dekhi nahian hai.

dayashankar - (aangareji mean) mere sudoor ke sambandh mean sale hote haian. ek vakil ke muharrir haian. jabaradasti nata jo d rahe haian. sevati ne nimantran diya hoga mujhe kuchh bhi jnat nahian. ye aangareji nahian janate.

anandamohan - itana to achchha hai. aangareji mean hi batean kareange.

dayashankar - sara maja kirakira ho gaya. kumanushoan ke sath baith kar khana pho de ke apreshan ke barabar hai.

anandamohan - kisi upay se inhean vida kar dena chahie.

dayashankar - mujhe to chianta yah hai ki ab sansar ke karyakarttaoan mean hamari aur tumhari ganana hi n hogi. pala isake hath rahega.

anandamohan - khair oopar chalo. anand to jab ave ki in mahashay ko adhe pet hi uthana p de.

[tinoan adami oopar jate haian ]

dayashankar - are ! kamare mean bhi roshani nahian ghup aandhera hai. lala jyotisvaroop dekhiega kahian thokar kha kar n gir p diyega.

anandamohan - are gajab...(alamari se takara kar dhamh se gir p data hai).

anandamohan - mujhe is bat ki prasannata hai ki tumhara siddhant toot gaya. ab itani ajna do ki bhabhi ji ko dhanyavad de aooan.

dayashankar - shauq se jao.

anandamohan - (bhitar ja kar) bhabhi ji sashtaang pranam kar raha hooan. yadyapi aj ke akashi bhoj se mujhe durasha to avashy huee kintu vah us anand ke samane shoony hai jo bhaee sahab ke vichar-parivartan se hua hai. aj ek diyasalaee ne jo shiksha pradan ki hai vah lakhoan pramanik pramanoan se bhi sanbhav nahian hai. isake lie maian apako saharsh dhanyavad deta hooan. ab se bandhuvar parade ke pakshapati ne hoange yah mera atal vishvas hai.
