AWARD (A True Story of Self Experience)
"Prashant ! very good news, you are going to get an Award !"
"Award ? for what?"
"No, not for any of your books, it is for something else only, imagine what it could be!"
Pen-worshiper Prashant, who had come to attend the Literary Conference Meet, got this early morning news from his friend Arun and surprisingly went on thinking over it. No doubt, several writers were going to receive Awards for their best books in today's Meeting, but neither there was any possibility of getting Award again for his best and latest book which had already fetched Award of Government of India, not it was aimed at by introward desire-less author like prashant who was writing only for sake of his selfcontentment. So he could not come to conclusion to find the clue to Arun's question. He asked:
"Arun, will you please clarify for what it is. I cannot find out and come to any conclusion"
"See, this is a unique Award of the Government." Said Arun while hiding the Newspaper in his hand by arousing more curiosity.
"Of the Government ? ----on what, for what reason ?"
“The matter is this that a Seat of Learning is being founded here". Prashant got surprised listening this from Arun and asked -
"A seat of learning? who is establishing the same ?"
"Our known political Leaders only !", By saying so Arun placed the hided News paper before him. Prashant started reading the headings.
Where do these Actors and Politicians not reach today ! But the Politicians and Seat of learning ? Then there will only be 'politics' in place of the process of learning and it will become a 'Centre of Politics and not the centre of learning'!"-prashant pushed ahead his cycle of thinking while going through the News Paper.
"Let all these things remain aside, oh Friend! I have to talk about your benefit and hence let me tell you the same !"
