Jab schoolon mein Saraswati Vandana tak par rok lagne lage to pataa chaltaa hai ki khatra kitna badaa hai. Jab teej-tyoharon mein pattharbaazi hone lage … to pataa chalta hai ki sthiti kitni khatarnak hai … Ye aapki roti bhi chheen rahe hain, ye aapki beti bhi chheen rahe hain and aapki maati bhi hadap rahe hain.
