चुप! मेरी नाक कुछ कह रही है...

Author: Rohini Nilekani

Illustrator: Angie & Upesh

Translator: Ritu Singh

आज मैं स्कूल नहीं जाऊँगी ।

आज छुट्टी है!

आज मैं टीवी नहीं देखूँगी ।

वैसे भी बिजली नहीं है ।

मैं क्या करूँगी?

आज मैं अपने शरीर की आवाज़  सुनूँगी!

पहले, मुझे चुप रहना है। एकदम चुप।

ताकि मैं अपने शरीर को सुन सकूँ।

हाँ, अब मैं अपनी साँस सुन सकती हूँ।

अन्दर... बाहर... अन्दर... बाहर...

मैं अपनी साँसों की आवाज़ ऊँची कर सकती हूँ... र-स-स !

और धीमी भी ... म-म-म

और अब, मैं अपने दिल की धड़कन सुन सकती हूँ।

धक, धक, धक ...

क्या मैं अपने दिल को और तेज़ कर सकती हूँ? और आवाज़ भी बढ़ा सकती हूँ...?      हाँ, अगर मैं बीस बार ऊपर-नीचे कूदूँ!

देखा? अब मेरे दिल की धड़कन तेज़ हो गई ।

धक-धक, धक-धक, धक-धक !

अगर मैं अपनी उंगलियाँ अपनी कलाई पर रखूँ तो मैं अपनी नब्ज़ सुन सकती  हूँ!

मैं अपनी हँसी सुन सकती हूँ ।

हा हा हा हा हा... हा...!

और रुलाई भी ।

बू हू !

ताली की आवाज़ ।

तप तपा तप तपा!

सबसे ज़्यादा मैं सुन सकती हूँ...

अपने पेट की

गुड़-गुड़ गुड़-गुड़...

और पेट कह रहा है...

खाना दो... खाना दो...

मेरी नाक सुन सकती है कि माँ रसोई में जलेबियाँ तल रही हैं ।

शरीर की आवाज़ सुनने में मज़ा आता है ।

अब मैं अपने जबड़ों को चबाते हुए सुनना चाहती हूँ।

और अपने पेट को, माँ की स्वादिष्ट, गरम-गरम जलेबियाँ हड़पते!

आवाज़ को शरीर के सही अंग के साथ मिलाइए।

हाथ               सीटी

होंठ              खड़म-खड़म

पैर                 तप-तपा
