यादें....

कुछ बातें जो दिलों में गहरी बैठ जाती हैं , जिनसे हम भागना भी चाहें तो भाग कर जाएँ कहाँ। गाहे बगाहे घूम फिर कर हम फिर वहीँ पहुंच जाते है उन्हीं यादों में जहाँ शायद हम लौट कर कभी भी न जाना चाहें। याद आती है मुझे अपनी शादी के दूसरे दिन की वो घटना जब मैं विदा होकर ससुराल पहुंची ही थी ,सब लोग नयी दुल्हन की स्वागत में लगे थे ,ढेर सारे ननदों और देवरों से घिरी मैं। सारे घर में ख़ुशी का माहौल ,बाहर ड्राइंगरूम में सारे चाचा ,मामा ,मौसा वैगरह इकट्ठे थे। हंसी मज़ाक ठहाके कीआवाज़ें आ रही थी की अचानक बाहर से कुछ शोर होने लगा कुछ सम्मिलित स्वर मेरे कानों तक पहुंच रही थी. ……… क्या हुआ ?? क्या हुआ ??  डॉक्टर को बुलाओ। ……। जल्दी गाडी निकालो वैगरह - वैगरह
                                     मुझे याद है रत्ना दी कमरे में आई और कहा अजीत मौसा बेहोश हो गए है  उन्हें हॉस्पिटल ले जाना है। सब लोग बाहर की ओर  की  भागे ,  मेरी कुछ भी समझ नहीं आ रहा था।  बहुत देर तक मैं अकेली उस कमरे में  इन्तेजार करती रही। ………बहार से रोने की आवाज़ें भी आ रही थी जिससे मुझे अंदाज़ा हो गया था की कुछ बहुत ही बुरा घटित हो गया है। एक पल में ही सारा माहौल बदल गया था। कुछ समय के बाद राजीव कमरे में आये और कहने लगे अजीत मौसा ( राजीव के सबसे छोटे मौसा ) को दिल का दौरा पड़ा है और अब वो नहीं रहे। मुझे कैसा लग रहा था इसको मैं शब्दों में बयान नहीं कर सकती।
इस घटना से निकलने में मुझे कितना वक़्त  लगा ये शायद मैं आज भी नहीं जानती  या यों  कहें मैं आज तक उस वाकये से उबर नहीं पाई हूँ। मेरे परिवार में आज भी कुछ लोग हैं जो मुझे शुभअवसर पर अपने घर बुलाना पसंद नहीं करते। मुझे समझ नहीं आता किसी की जीवन या मृत्यु के लिए मैं ज़िम्मेवार कैसे हो सकती हूँ ? जबकि मेरे हसबैंड से किसी को कोई परेशानी नहीं हैं, ये नियम कानून उनके ऊपर लागु नहीं होते। .......... ऐसा क्यूँ !

आज बहुत दिनों के बाद फिर से कुछ लिखने का मन कर रहा है पर क्या? पता नहीं। आजकल सबकुछ टुटा बिखरा से है

Yaden.....!!

याद आता है मुझे वो बिता हुआ जमाना जब हम बहुत छोटे थे तब हमारे परिवार में कुछ ऐसी परिस्थितियां आई जब हमें अपने नानी के घर जाकर रहना पड़ा। बिहार के डाल्टेनगंज से करीब ५० किलोमीटर की दुरी पर एक गाँव कुटमु जो अब झारखण्ड  राज्य में स्थित है।  वहां की कुछ मीठी तो कुछ बहुत मीठी और कुछ खट्टी तो कुछ बहुत खट्टी यादें हैं  जो गाहे बगाहे मुझे याद आती रहती हैं.
एक  ऐसी याद जो मुझे हमेशा याद आती है वो है मुहर्रम पर निकलने वाला ताज़िया। हमारे नाना कुटमु गाँव के जमींदार हुआ करते थे, एक रोज़ बड़े सवेरे से ही दरवाजे के बाहर झाड़ सफाई का काम होने लगा जैसे आमतौर पर हमारे त्योहारों पर होता है। देखा बाहर चारो तरफ झाड़ू लगवाई गई फिर पानी का छिड़काव किया गया। घर के सारे लोग खासकर मर्द  
जैसे हमारे नानाजी, बड़े मामा , छोटे मामा  ,भैया लोग सब नहा धोकर तैयार होकर बहार प्रतीक्षारत हो गए। और  घर की महिलाएं मलिदे ( एक प्रकार की मिठाई जो गुड़ ,आटे , घी वैगरह को मिलाकर बनाया जाता है ) बनाने की तैयारियां करने लगी। फिर एक बड़ी सी जुलुस जिसमें गांव के हर वर्ग के लोग शामिल थे , साथ में रंग बिरंग के ताज़िये के साथ हमारे घर के पास आकर रुकी। जुलुस में शामिल स्वर में लोग गीत गा रहे थे , जिसके बोल कुछ इस प्रकार थे
 मोरे घर के पिछुवारुआ अमवा के गछिया बोलो हाय हाय
ताहि पर सुगना उचरलन बोलो हाय हाय
मचियानी बइठली अम्मा बढ़ितिन बोलो हाय हाय।
जहाँ तक मुझे याद है गीत के बोल शायद यही थे.……।
घर के बड़े होने के नाते नाना जी अपने हाथों से मलीदा चढ़ाते और उसी मलीदे को प्रसाद स्वरूप सब लोगों में बाँट दिया जाता था। जुलुस के पीछे  सोमवारीय दाई ( घर में काम करने वाली एक हिन्दू  महिला ) मोर के पंख लेकर सबको झाड़ती हुई चलती थी। इस तरह सब लोग जुलुस में शामिल होकर कर्बलाः तक जाते जहाँ जुलुस समाप्त होती।
आज के परिवेश में मुझे बहुत दुःख होता है जब मैं लोगों को धर्म के नाम पर बहस करते या राजनीती करते  देखती हूँ।
