Pachahattar Wali Bhindi / पचहत्तर वाली भिण्डी  (Hindi, Paperback, Nupur Ashok)

Vaise hasya aur vyangya ek doosare se beshak, apane chaaritrik mizaz men kuchh bhinn vidhaye hain magar ve ek doosare kaa haath pakad kar bhi chalati hain. Fir bhi aise kum log hain jo haasya ke put men vyangya ki uchit chhaunk ke saath aisaa vihasataa huaa gadya taiyaar kar saken jise padhte chale jane ka mann kare. In sari baton ka khayaal nupur ashok ka ye vyangya sangrah padhte hue aataa rahaa. Is sangrah ke vyangaya lekhon ka prasann gadya, lekhikaa kee chuteelee tippaniyon ke saath milkar aapke lagatar muskarate aur vichaar karate rahane ko majaboor karta hai. Lekhak antatah apne samaj se hi apana masala chunta hai- lekin nupur is masale ko bilkul alag andaz men fentati aur kai dilchasp tippaniyan taiyar karti hain. Chunav ko ve raajneetik karm kee jagah aadhyaatmik karm manti hain aur ise bilkul darshanik stur par le jate hue bhi ekadum naye zamane se jode rakhti hain. Ve kahti hain, "tum kya lekar aaye the, voter slip hi na, aur kya lekar jaoge, selfie hi na, to baki kiska maya moh hai?" - Priyadarshan, Varishtha Patrakaar evam Lekhak
