Cup of Coffee on the Wall
I sat with my friend in a well-known coffee shop in a neighboring town of Venice, the city of lights and water. As we enjoyed our coffee, a man entered and sat on an empty table beside us. He called the waiter and placed his order saying, ‘Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall.’ We heard this order with rather interest and observed that he was served with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying ‘A Cupof Coffee’.
While we were still there, two other men entered and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but paid for three and left. This time also, the waiter did the same; he pasted a piece of paper on the wall saying, ‘A Cup of Coffee’.
It seemed that this gesture was a norm at this place. However, it was something unique and perplexing for us. Since we had nothing to do with the matter, we finished our coffee, paid the bill and left.
After a few days, we again had a chance to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not match the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was evident from the looks on his face. As he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, one cup of coffee from the wall. The waiter served coffee to this man with the customary respect and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dust bin. Now it was no surprise for us – the matter was very clear. The great respect for the needy shown by the inhabitants of this town welled up our eyes with tears.
Coffee is not a need of our society neither a necessity of life for us. The point to note is that when we take pleasure in any blessing, maybe we also need to think about those people who appreciate that specific blessing as much as we do but they cannot afford to have it.
Note the character of this waiter, who is playing a consistent and generous role to get the communication going between the affording and the needy with a smile on his face.
Ponder upon this man in need….he enters the coffee shop without having to lower his self-esteem…he has no need to ask for a free cup of coffee…without asking or knowing about the one who is giving this cup of coffee to him…he only looked at the wall, placed an order for himself, enjoyed his coffee and left.
When we analyze this story, along with the other characters, we need to remember the role played by the wall that reflects the generosity and care of the dwellers of this town.

Green & Environmental Taxes : now pay 2% for petrol & 4% for Diesel existing OLD cars
A new rule is in the offing whereby, you may be asked to pay 25% of the cost of a NEW Diesel car as the Green Tax. But the problem area is that for all of your existing OLD cars, you may have to pay 2% for Petrol cars and 4% for Diesel cars per annum alongwith your insurance premium on the name of ENVIRONMENTAL TAX.
We had a LIVE today on Delhi Aajtak on this topic. Your valued comments are being awaited.
Thanks

the ground that house tax rebate of 15% is provided which hardly comes
to 200 rupees per year.

Memories of Sh. Ravi Bharti
Dear Sir,
It is really sad to hear about the untimely demise of Ravi Bharti ji. We had occasions to meet with Ravi ji, when he visited our colony
to cover various events/incidents. We found him very co-operative, understanding, jovial and above all very patient. On behalf of the residents of
Priyadarshini Vihar we pray to the Almighty to rest his soul in peace and give courage to the bereaved family to bear this irreparable loss!
Ram Gupta
General Secretary
Priyadarshini Vihar RWA
It's a great loss to the Media.

Seems God had a plan to launch a TV channel & was looking for an honest & perfect man for an immediate placement. God found Sh Ravi bharti on earth & without wasting even a second, he took Ravi with him and placed as CEO, there up in the sky. But we here on the earth will miss him forever.

आजतक के रवि भारती की दुर्घटना में मौत
के लिए ये हफ्ता अच्छा नहीं रहा. पहले राघवेन्द्र मुद्गल की मौत हुई और अब
एक सड़क दुर्घटना में आजतक के पत्रकार रवि भारती की मौत हो गयी. वे आजतक
में बतौर स्ट्रिंगर काम कर रहे हे. आज जब वे किसी शूट के सिलसिले में
मोटरसाइकल से जा रहे थे तब किसी ट्रक ने उन्हें धक्का मार दिया. उन्हें
अस्पताल ले जाया गया , लेकिन उन्हें बचाया नहीं जा सका. पत्रकार संजीव
चौहान ने उन्हें याद करते हुए
, संस्मरण लिखा है जिसे हम आपसे साझा कर रहे
नहीं रहा खबर पर मर-मिटने वाला
पहले दुनिया जहान को चैन से रहने के लिए हर रात जगाते रहने वाला राघवेंद्र मुद्दगल चले गये। अब खबर के लिए जान की परवाह न करने वाले रवि भारती भी साथ छोड़ गये। 21-11-2012 को दिल्ली से मोबाइल पर एक छोटे भाई का संदेश आया। "SIR, RAVI BHARTI IS NO MORE"....मोबाइल पर बातचीत में पता चला कि वाकई रवि भारती इस मायावी और झंझावती दुनिया को अलविदा कह चुके हैं। बिना किसी से कोई शिकवा शिकायत किये। रवि की मृत्यु दिल्ली के गीता कालोनी इलाके में खुरेजी चौक पर हुए एक सड़क हादसे में हुई। ये हादसा दिन के करीब 12 बजे हुआ। हादसा उस समय हुआ, जब रवि किसी काम से गीता कालोनी इलाके में ही मोटर साइकिल से जा रहे थे।

खुरेजी चौक पर पहुंचते ही रवि की मोटर साइकिल को पीछे से आ रहे एक ट्रक ने टक्कर मार दी। चालक ट्रक सहित मौके से फरार हो गया। रवि को डॉ. हेडगेवार अस्पताल में दाखिल कराया गया। अस्पताल में डाक्टरों ने रवि को मृत घोषित कर दिया गया। रवि की मौत की खबर सुनकर सन्न रह गया। यूं तो भारत के मीडिया में हर कोई खुद को खुद की ही जुबान से "धुरंधर" कहने से बाज नहीं आता है। मगर रवि भारती इस भीड़ से अलग थे। अलग इसलिए कि वो मीडिया की भेड़चाल में कभी खुद को शामिल नहीं कर पाये। एकदम अलग-थलग रखा उन्होंने खुद को। इस धंधे के प्रपंचों से खुद को बचाकर। मेरी रवि से मुलाकात हुई सन् 2005-2006 में। आजतक में। उस वक्त आजतक दिल्ली के वीडियोकॉन टॉवर में था। दोपहर के वक्त रवि आये। अपना परिचय दिया। और बोले सर आज से मैं आपको रिपोर्ट करुंगा।
पता नहीं नज़र उठाकर मैंने रवि की ओर देखा, तो कुछ अलग सा नज़र आया। अलग ही चमक थी। बात आई गई हो गयी। रवि ने मेरे साथ काम करना शुरु कर दिया। रवि के साथ कई और भी नये साथी आजतक/ दिल्ली आजतक में मेरे साथ जुड़े। रवि की जिम्मेदारी थी दिल्ली के यमुनापार (पू्र्वी दिल्ली) की खबरों का संकलन करना। कई बार मैंने रवि को देखा कि उनसे जो कहा, उसके लिए उनके मुख से "न" नहीं निकला। "ठीक है सर आप फोन काटें। मैं कोशिश करता हूं।" और सच बताऊं रवि की कोशिश कभी भी नाकाम नहीं रही। मुझे जहां तक याद आ रहा है। कुछ स्ट्रिंगर साथ बरसात का बहाना, ठंड का बहाना, स्पॉट घर से काफी दूर होने का तर्क देकर या फिर दूसरे का इलाका होने का तर्क देकर खुद को पीछे खींच लेते थे। लेकिन रवि हमेशा तैयार रहते थे। उन्हें काम से मतलब था। काम से और काम भी वक्त पर। न्यूज चैनल में वक्त की क्या वकत होती है, ये रवि भारती को पता था।

Lost a real friend : Ravi Bharti
रवि भारती जी, जो कि आज तक के एक वरिष्ठ रिपोर्टर थे और पूर्वी दिल्ली की खबरों को प्रमुखता से कवर करते थे, आज एक दुखद दुर्घटना में उनका निधन हो गया। भगवान् उनकी आत्मा को शांति दे एवं उनके परिवार को इस अपार दुःख को सहने की क्षमता प्रदान करें।
He
was very close to me. We spoke just half an hour ago before his death.
Than i got the message that he is no more. It was all shocking. I was
shivering. I ran towards Hegdewar hospital, uncovered his face &
yeah it was Ravi and he was no more. SHOCKING. UNBELIEVABLE. Lost a real
friend.
