Rumors

One
day when I was standing in front of the house gate, a known voice came from the
neighbor house. One of my Aunt is telling someone, that on the other side of
the Canning (in south 24 pgs) Muslims are going to Hindu para and say house to house, If Hindus come out of the
house then they will be cut off. As soon as I heard this, I was scared. Since
seven years as I write on the newspaper, Magazine so I came out in the next day morning to see the
truth of this rumors towards Caning area. In midday I reached the canning station by auto
from Baruipur. I saw People around the caning station are crowded, everyone is busy
with their work, Somewhere I did not think so differently. Everything was the same. Then I went into a lane on the side
of the pavement, when I was going to
enter the lane, I saw many men, women taking water in a Kaltola And mocking smile
with each other. I went beside the koltola and saw, several Hindu and Muslim women
are flooding water each other's pots. Seeing the
dresses of them both Hindus an Muslims were present there. The Koltala seemed
like a family. At that time one of them looked at me and said, Ma, will you
drink water? I took my neck and said, Ma’am first you fill water, after that I'll take it. Honestly
speaking, I was so pleased to see the mutual love of each other that I was
wishing to see this scene filled with my two eyes. In the meantime, a woman
gave me a bottle of water to drink. I thanked the Muslim woman and started
drinking water from the bottle. When I was drinking water, a aged woman asked me, Ma do not know you, are you new in this para? I replied, no. Actually one of my relative lives
in this para. As I heard he was ill, so I came to see him.The aged women said, oh! is your relative well now?
I said, yes. I'm returning home only because he is well. My heart is filled
with joy, knowing that my relative live in healthy and wealthy, that’s why I
am standing here for so long.
