वो जो अपनी कहानी छुपाकर दूसरों का

desperation Samaj aksar "veshya" shabd sunte hi galat sochne lagta hai — mano wo aurat buri ho, gandi ho, ya apni marzi se ye kaam karti ho. Lekin sach ye hai ki zyadatar veshyaen is kaam me apni khushi se nahi, majboori se aati hain. Unka maksad sirf paisa kamana nahi hota, balki kayi baar dusron ki pareshaniyan hal karna bhi hota hai. Paison ke badle wo logon ka akelapan, tanaav aur maansik bojh kam karti hain. Yah unke liye koi anand ka kaam nahi, balki roz ka sangharsh hai. --- Rekha Ki Kahani Raat ke 11 baje the. Shahar ki galiyon me halke-halke peele bulb jal rahe the. Ek kone me, ek kursi par baithi thi Rekha. Aankhon ke neeche gehre halke, lekin aankhon me ek ajeeb-sa sukoon. Usne apne dupatte se paseene ki boondein ponchhi aur muskaan banakar boli, "Bhaiya, ye kaam mai apni khushi se nahi karti... par agar mai ye na karun, to mere do chhote bacche school kaise jayenge?" Rekha kabhi silai ka kaam karti thi. Pati ka accident hua, ghar ka iklauta kamane wala chala gaya. Mahine bhar ka kiraya, bacchon ki fees, maa ki dawa — sab kuch ek saath tootkar gira. Usne kaha, "Mai galat kaam nahi karti... mai sirf majboori ka kaam karti hu." Unke paas aane wale log kabhi apni kahani batate hain, kabhi apne aansu chhupate hain. Rekha bas unka bojh halka kar deti hai. Us raat, jab ek aadmi chala gaya, Rekha ne apne paison ka packet uthaya. Usne kuch note alag kiye — maa ki dawa, bacchon ki fees, bijli ka bill. Aur ek chhota-sa paisa bachaya — apne bete ke liye ek cricket ball lene ke liye. --- Samaj ke liye Sandesh Samaj ke nazariye me, wo shayad "gandi" hai. Par zindagi ke sach me, wo ek zimmedari se kaam kar rahi hai. Shayad samay aa gaya hai ki hum apni soch badle.
