Puranay zamane ki baat hai jab mein bacha tha. un dinon dadi Amma nawway byanoe(90,92) ki hon gi. woh beshtar waqt apne kamray mein aik takhat par baithi rehti theen. yeh takhat aik khirki ke paas thajs par jaye namaz bichi hoti thi. is takhat ke dayen haath khirki thi, baen haath aik bohat bara lakri
ka sandooq tha jis par dhakna nahi tha. is sandooq mein alum galam cheeze pari rehti theen .
dadi Amma baith kar namaz parha karti theen .
jab woh namaz parh rahi hoten to mein aksar apne kamray mein daakhil hokar chalata :" dadi Amma! meri gaindh kahan hai ?" mein ne kabhi nahi socha ke dadi Amma namaz parh rahi hain. jab woh namaz se farigh ho jaien to gaind ki baat karoon .
" dadi Amma! meri gaind, dadi Amma! meri gaind. "
sjday mein jane se pehlay dadi Amma cani aankh se sandooq ki taraf dekhteen jahan gaind rakha hota. phir woh jab sjday mein jatein to baayaan haath sandooq mein daal kar gaind utha litin aur phir sjday se uth kar woh gaind meri taraf pheink detin .
sirf mere gaind ki baat nah thi .
jab dadi Amma namaz parh rahi hoten to bahar sehan se koi khatoon cholhe ke samnay baithy hue chalati," ab mein chaawlon ko dam day dun ?" dadi Amma namaz parhte hue zor se kehtain :" oon hon" aur namaz jari rakhtin .
muhallay ki barri borhiyan dadi Amma ki is aadat par hansa karti theen. dadi Amma se mukhatib hokar kehtain" nawab bi bi toyh kya karti hai. namaz parhte hue yaksoi ka khayaal nahi rakhti." is par dadi Amma haath chala kar kehtain :" ae hai! sirf is ki namaz hi to zaroori nahi aur kaam bhi zaroori hotay hain. yeh larka gaind ke liye rota rahay aur mein namaz padti rahon. aisi namaz kis kaam ki. usay nahi pata ke dunyawi kaam bhi zaroori hotay hain. mein to kehti hon den aur duniya sath sath chaltay hain. khaali namaz ka chankna chankate raho. "
un dinon muhallay waliyan sab dadi Amma ki baton par hansa karti theen. kehti theen :" nawab bi bi sathya gayi hai." ab jo mein sochtahon to mehsoos krtahon ke dadi Amma ne deen aur duniya mein kitna saada, qabil amal aur Khushgawar tawazun qaim kar rakha tha .
