Ek chhoti si ladki thi - Gudiya. Gudiya apni dadi ke saath rehti thi ek chhote se gaon mein.
Gudiya ke mummy-papa shehar mein kaam karte the aur bahut kam aate the. Gudiya unhe bahut miss karti thi.
Har raat jab Gudiya so nahi paati, woh chhat par jaati aur chanda mama se baatein karti thi.
"Chanda mama, aaj school mein drawing banayi maine. Bahut acchi thi!"
"Chanda mama, aaj dadi ne kheer banayi. Bahut tasty thi!"
"Chanda mama... aaj mummy ka phone nahi aaya. Mujhe unki bahut yaad aa rahi hai."
Chanda mama hamesha chamakte rehte - jaise keh rahe hon, "Main sun raha hun, Gudiya. Tu akeli nahi hai."
Ek Khaas Raat
Ek raat Gudiya bahut udaas thi. School mein sabke mummy-papa aaye the Parents Day par. Gudiya akeli thi.
Raat ko woh chhat par gayi. Aankhon mein aansoo the.
"Chanda mama, sab bacchon ke paas mummy-papa hain. Mere paas sirf aap ho. Kya aap mujhe ek tohfa de sakte ho? Ek aisa tohfa jo mujhe kabhi akela mehsoos na hone de?"
Aur phir kuch ajeeb hua.
Chaand ki roshni thodi tez ho gayi. Ek chamakti hui kiran seedhi Gudiya ke haath par aayi. Aur us kiran mein - ek chhota sa chamakta taara tha!
Nahi nahi, yeh taara nahi tha. Yeh ek chamakti hui diary thi - chhoti si, chaandi jaisi.
Usmein likha tha:
"Pyaari Gudiya, yeh hai tera tohfa. Is diary mein har roz ek acchi baat likh. Chahe chhoti si ho. Jab bhi tu udaas ho, isse khol. Tujhe pata chalega ki teri duniya kitni sundar hai. - Tera Chanda Mama"
Jadui Diary
Gudiya ne agley din se likhna shuru kiya:
"Aaj dadi ne mujhe gale lagaya. Bahut accha laga."
"Aaj school mein meri friend Meera ne apna lunch share kiya."
"Aaj ek titli mere haath par baithi. Bahut sundar thi."
"Aaj mummy ka phone aaya. Woh bol rahi thi - jaldi aayegi!"
Hafte bhar mein diary bhar gayi acchi baaton se! Aur Gudiya ko pata chala - uski zindagi mein kitni saari acchi cheezein hain jo usne kabhi notice hi nahi ki thi!
Dadi ka pyaar, Meera ki dosti, school ki drawing class, baarish ki boondon ki awaaz...
Gudiya ab akela mehsoos nahi karti thi. Kyunki uski diary ne usse dikhaya ki uski duniya pyaar se bhari hui thi - bas usse dekhna seekhna tha!
Aur har raat woh chhat par jaati aur kehti, "Shukriya Chanda Mama. Aapka tohfa sabse accha hai!"
Chaand muskurata aur aur zyada chamakta.
Kahani Ki Seekh
Khushi doosron ke paas nahi, tumhare apne paas hai - bas dhundhna seekho. Har din mein kuch na kuch accha hota hai. Agar tum roz ek acchi baat yaad karo, toh tumhe pata chalega ki tumhari zindagi kitni sundar hai. Kabhi akela mat mehsoos karo - tumhare aas-paas bahut pyaar hai!
