Ek chhoti si nagar palika mein naye Ghadi Tower ka udghatan bade dhom-dham se hua. Logon ne socha ab sheher ke paas apna Big Ben hoga — samay ki nayi pehchaan. Lekin udghatan ke turant baad, jis samay pe sabse zyada bharosa tha, wahi samay thamm gaya. Literally.
Ghadi sirf ek din chali. Uske baad na ghanti baji, na soiyaan hilli. Sheher ke logon ka kehna hai ki tower ab sirf ek photo spot ban kar reh gaya hai — shaadi ke pre-wedding shoot aur Instagram reels ke liye perfect background!
Nagar palika ke adhikariyon ne kaha tha ki tower mein high-quality German mechanism use hua hai. Lekin ground reality yeh hai ki ghadi ki soiyaan udghatan ke doosre din hi ‘off-duty’ chali gayi. Ab na usme samay dikh raha hai, na awaaz aa rahi hai. Bas tower khada hai — bilkul netaon ke vaadon ki tarah, jo ek baar sunaye jaate hain, fir kabhi wapas nahi aate.
Pucha gaya toh adhikariyon ne kaha, “Ghadi toh kaam kar rahi thi, lekin shayad bijli ka issue hoga.” Jab yaad dilaya gaya ki ghadi mechanical hai, toh turant jawab aaya: “Ab isme rajneeti mat dhoondo, hum technician bhej rahe hain.”
Local logon ne toh tower ka naya naam bhi rakh diya hai — “Time-Pass Tower.”
Local chaiwala Ramesh ne kaha, “40 lakh mein toh main 40 saal tak digital ghadi chalaa leta. Aur battery bhi free milti!”
Ek student ne kaha, “Mujhe laga tha exam ke liye time ka pata chalega. Ab toh late hone ka bhi excuse mil gaya — ‘Ghadi ruk gayi thi!’”
Ant mein bas itna hi kahenge:
Ghadi ruk gayi ho, lekin public ki yaadein aur memes ab chalenge lagataar.
Kyunki samay chahe ruk jaye, satire kabhi nahi rukta!
