असम के लिए प्रार्थना
असम की भीषण बाढ़ ने दिल दहला दिया है चारों ओर तबाही का मंजर जो देखकर हर एक के आंख में आंसू आ जाएगा
भगवान, सभी की रक्षा करें और जल्द राहत दें 🙏
The person in white dress is someone who opens doors for guests at the Airforce auditorium at Subroto park. I was standing behind him, waiting for the cab. In comes Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh who puts his hand around him and asks his name and about his family, his kids where he stays. Tells him to stay happy always, and give the same learning to his kids. Casual chitchat. When Singh left, i saw the person who has been opening gates for more than a decade, had a moist eyes and was composing himself. I asked him has this happened earlier, he nodded no.
A man had a fullsome meal in a modest restaurant in Bombay and when the waiter presented the bill he went straight to the manager and admitted honestly that he had no money. He added that he hadn't eaten for the past two days and was terribly hungry so was forced to do this.
The manager heard his story patiently as the man promised that the day he gets a job the first thing he would do was to settle the bill. The manager smiled and told him to leave wishing him luck. The waiter who stood watching the drama was aghast. He questioned the manager "Saab why did you let him go". The manager replied, "Go and do your work".
Few months later the same man came to the restaurant and settled his pending bill to the utter dismay of the waiter. The man thanked the manager and told him that he had bagged an acting offer. The manager visibly happy offered him a cup of tea and a friendship bloomed between the two. The actor soon became a known face and did multiple films at a time.
Later he owned a bungalow and a chauffer driven car. Times had changed but everytime he passed by that area he made it a point to visit the restaurant for a cup of tea with the manager who had shown incredible sympathy years ago.
Faith at times does wonders. Had the manager thrashed and humiliated the hungry man that day maybe the industry wouldn't have got a talented and natural actor called *Om Prakash*.

Everyone knows the Uphaar cinema fire. Fifty nine people who went to watch a war film in Delhi and never came home.
Almost nobody knows that the safest man in that hall, the one person trained and calm enough to walk straight out, chose to stay inside until it killed him.
His name was Captain Manjinder Singh Bhinder.
On the thirteenth of June 1997, he was at the Uphaar cinema in Green Park watching Border, the film about the soldiers of Longewala. He was a real one.
An officer of the 61st Cavalry, a national level horseman who had just won gold at the National Games and was being talked about for the next Asian Games. He was there with his wife and his four year old son.
Partway through the film, a transformer in the building caught fire. Thick black smoke began filling the balcony. The exits were few, badly lit, and some were blocked. People had minutes, and most of them did not know which way to move.
He got his own family up and moving toward the way out, the way any man would.
And then he turned around and went back in.
He understood what a panicking crowd in the dark does. It bunches at the wrong doors, it freezes, it tramples itself. So he put himself in that stairwell and did the job he was trained to do.
He took charge. He steadied people. He guided women and children through the smoke toward the narrow passage that led out, group after group, breathing that air the whole time.
More than a hundred and fifty people got out of that cinema alive because a soldier stood in the dark and refused to leave until they did.
He did not get out. Neither did his wife. Neither did his little boy.
There is a Netflix series about the Uphaar fire. It is told, rightly, through the eyes of two parents who lost their children and spent decades fighting for justice. His name is not in it.
And there is one more thing the country should be made to sit with. After he died saving over a hundred and fifty of its citizens, his elderly parents had to fight the defence ministry for years for his pension, because a clerk's rule said he had not died fighting an enemy.
He walked out of that fire once, with his family, and he was safe. Then he heard the people still screaming inside, and he went back.
