पुड़िया (A packet)
I was just passing through a construction  site. What I saw that workers were busy in their assigned jobs. Nobody was concerned that I am clicking them.The children were busy in their games without any worry. Women were working more seriously than male workers. While clicking what I saw that one of the male workers brought out a packet "पुड़िया" from his pocket. This packet is usually called masala or jarda or khainni (one type of tobacco). In this masala chuna is mixed and mixture is taken as intoxication. This mixture is used as relief , which is extreme cancerous. When that fellow was just to get the mixture ready, he saw me. He got squirme and was puzzled to what to do. He immediately put down his packet of tobacco.As soon as he could understand he had been captured.  I went to him and asked, " Why did he try to hide that packet (पुड़िया). He smiled and humbly replied, "  kya बताएं बाबू जी इस से थोड़ा आराम मिल जाता है। इस को न लें तो शरीर टूटने लगता है।" ( "It just give relief to the tired body." ) I questioned him again," Do you know that this intoxication is poison for you?" ("मालूम है ये पुड़िया ज़हर है तुम्हारे लिए?") He innocently replied," this life too is not a nectar. This life is also a packet of poison , Sir . " Ye Zindagi कौन अमृत है बाबू! ये ज़िन्दगी भी तो ज़हर की पुड़िया है ससुरी। " This line really described all his sorrows of life. During our conversation he was busy in making his mixture . He put that mixture under his tongue and started working. I just could not reply him and click another photographs. I just started crooning , " ye Zindagi के मेले दुुनिया में कम न होंगे अफ़सोस हम न होंगे...... ....."
