डुकरिया

                                  डुकरिया
                                      

       ससुराल से पीहर आई बेटी से वहाँ के हाल चाल पूछते हुए माँ ने पूछा -- "तेरी डुकरिया के क्या   हाल हैं ?'
     "कौन डुकरिया माँ ?'

 "प्लीज माँ उन्हें डुकरिया मत कहो ...अच्छा नहीं लगता ।'
 "मैं तो हमेशा ही ऐसे कहती हूँ, इस से पहले तो तुझे कभी बुरा नहीं लगा...अब क्या हो गया ?'
 "इस डुकरिया शब्द की चुभन  का अहसास मुझे तब हुआ जब एक बार अपनी सास को भी आपके   लिए इसी शब्द का स्तमाल करते सुना था...यद्यपि उन्हों ने मेरे सामने नहीं कहा था।'
