Hey Dabbu, take as much water as you can drink. I have been watching for the last few days that you fill a full glass of water, drink two or three sips and pour the remaining water into the sink. Dada Bhai almost scolded his younger brother Dabbu when he gave this advice to him. Dabbu reluctantly went home but kept thinking that Dada Bhai’s flat in Mumbai has so much water, yet why does Dada Bhai give so many lectures on wastage of water. Baat Ai Gayi Hogi, but the question of saving and wasting water of Dadabhai was constantly revolving in Dabbu’s mind and finally he tried to know the answer when Dadabhai came to Indore. On the occasion of daughter Soumya’s marriage, most of the relatives of the house had come, the marriage went well and all the relatives and relatives were going back to their homes, then Dabbu spoke up, Dada Bhai, I have to ask you one thing, I have seen many times that you advise everyone to save water, while this has become a common thing. Dada Bhai took a deep breath and said, “Dabbu, you were very young at that time when my father died, but there is a touching story behind that death.” Tumhare bade papa ie my father was a government officer. His main job was to go from village to village to promote the government schemes, once he was on a government tour, he felt very thirsty, there was no water around, a road was being built nearby, the laborers engaged in construction work managed to arrange some dirty water but they could not save the father. Everyone was shocked to hear this and everyone convinced Dada Bhai that now we will not waste water at all.
