to abhi bhi suraj nikla tha. to aik sahib mere paas aaye. to mein aksar adat meri hai ke poochta hoon ke koi nai news hai aap ke paas? to mein ne un se poocha, koi nai news? to unhon ne kaha, nahi, koi news news to nahi. to mein ne kaha ke aap dekhte nahi hain ke suraj raat ko dooba hua tha, us waqt suraj nikal aaya? yeh nai news nahi hai. chidiyan urr rahi hain aasman mein, yeh nai news nahi hai. darakhton se aksar supply ho raha hai, jo kal ho raha tha aaj bhi ho raha hai. yeh kyun aap ko news nahi lagti? yeh sab mein ne bohat si baatein batayi hain.
