Forward-- A Joke By Mrs. Chitra

A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble.. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?' 'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered. 'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked. 'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.' The man gestured, and the gate began to open. 'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveller asked. 'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.' The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.... 'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?' 'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.' 'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog. 'There should be a bowl by the pump,' said the man. They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree. 'What do you call this place?' the traveller asked. 'This is Heaven,' he answered. 'Well, that's confusing,' the traveller said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.' 'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.' 'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?' 'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.' Soooo. Now you see, sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding stuff to us without writing a word. Maybe this will explain it. When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward mails. When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes. When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how.... you forward stuff. A 'forward' lets you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for. So, next time if you get a 'forward', don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile. You are welcome at my water bowl anytime !!

சிவகங்கை : வறுமையின் கோரத்தால், மூன்று பெண் குழந்தைகளை தவிக்க விட்டு, தாய் தற்கொலை செய்து கொண்டார். தந்தையில்லாமல் ஆதரவின்றி மூன்று பெண் குழந்தைகள் தத்தளிக்கின்றனர்.ராமநாதபுரம் மாவட்டம் தொண்டியை சேர்ந்தவர் நாகராஜ். இவரது மனைவி ராமாயி (30). காயத்ரி (9), கவுசல்யா (8), ரதி (3), கவுரி (1) என, நான்கு குழந்தைகள். ராமாயி, கடைசி குழந்தையை வயிற்றில் சுமந்திருந்த நிலையில், நாகராஜன் குடும்பத்தை விட்டு பிரிந்து சென்றார்.

இதுவரை அவரை பற்றி தகவல் இல்லை.கையில் மூன்று குழந்தைகள், கர்ப்பத்தில் ஒன்று என, சுமைகளுடன், வறுமையின் கொடூரத்தையும் சுமந்தார் ராமாயி. கூலி வேலையில் கிடைக்கும் சொற்ப தொகையில், இவர்களின் இருட்டு வாழ்க்கை தொடர்ந்தது. வறுமையின் கோரப்பிடி இறுகியதால், கடைசி குழந்தையை, அவரது தங்கைக்கு தத்து கொடுத்தார்.சிவகங்கை, கூட்டுறவுபட்டி அருகே செவல்பட்டியை சேர்ந்த விஜயா என்பவர், இவருக்கு அவ்வப்போது உதவிகள் செய்தார். 'இனி வாழ வழி இல்லை' என முடிவு செய்த ராமாயி, கடந்த 11 ம் தேதி, விஜயா வீட்டிற்கு குழந்தைகளுடன் வந்தார். விஜயா வெளியில் சென்ற போது, ராமாயி தூக்கிட்டு இறந்தார்.

தந்தையின் முகம் மறந்து, தாயின் அரவணைப்பில் இருந்த குழந்தைகள், தற்போது நாதியின்றி தத்தளிக்கின்றன. உறவினர்களும் கைகொடுக்காத நிலையில், குழந்தைகளின் எதிர்காலம் கேள்விக்குறியாகியுள்ளது. தற்கொலை வழக்கை விசாரித்த சிவகங்கை உதவி எஸ்.பி., சந்திரா சோனல், குழந்தைகளை, தேனி மாவட்டம் ஜி.கல்லுப் பட்டி ஆதரவற்றோர் இல்லத்தில் சேர்க்க முயற்சி எடுத்துள்ளார்.இக்குழந்தைகளின் வாழ்வில் ஒளியேற்ற விரும்புவோர், தொடர்பு கொள்ளலாம்.
