 Thakur Villa — Hamari Haveli, Hamari Virasat!



Doston, abhi aage badhne se pehle kyun na aapko apne ghar ki sair karwa di jaye!

Aakhir jis haveli mein mera bachpan beeta, jahan mere Dadaji ne mujhe apne saamne bada hote dekha aur jahan mere parivar ki 4 peedhiyon ki yaadein basi hui hain, uske baare mein aapko batana bhi to zaroori hai.

To doston, hamari haveli ka naam hai...

**THAKUR VILLA!**

Naam sunte hi aapke man mein ek bhavya haveli ki tasveer ubhar aayi hogi. Lekin yakeen maaniye doston, hamari haveli sirf uske bade gate, khoobsurat banawat ya uski shaan ki wajah se khaas nahi thi.

Is haveli ke saath hamare parivar ka itihaas juda hua tha. 

Ise dadaji ke pitaji Shankar Singh ji ne apni virasat ke tor per banwaya tha..

Iss haveli ko unhone banwane me apna pura anubhav lagaya tha, ak ak chhoti aur bhavya haveli hai..

Iske aangan mein parivar ki khushiyan bhi bikhri thin aur isi ki chhat ke neeche aise rishte bhi the, jinmein rishte hone ke bawajood kai tarah ke antar maujood the.

Koi pyar nhi, koi apna pan nhi, koi vishesh baatchit nhi..

Aur main, Kunwar Jay Singh Thakur, isi haveli me isi Haveli ke ek hisse mein apna bachpan guzara tha.

1. Haveli ka Mukhya Dwar — Thakur Villa



Doston, sabse pehle baat karte hain hamari haveli ke mukhya pravesh dwar ki.

Haveli ka entrance apne aap mein kaafi bhavya tha. Cream rang ke nakkashidar pattharon se bana gate, uske dono taraf majboot khambhe aur upar bani chhoti-chhoti sajawati chhatriyan uski khoobsurti ko aur badha deti thin.

Gate ke beech mein ek nameplate lagi thi, jis par bade aksharon mein likha tha—

**THAKUR VILLA**

Gate par gehre rang ke lakdi ke do bade darwaze lage the. Unki banawat aur un par ki gayi karigari haveli ko ek purana, paramparik aur raubdaar roop deti thi.

Dono taraf faili boundary wall aur uske upar ki nakkashi is baat ka ehsaas karwati thi ki ye haveli kisi samanya parivar ka ghar nahi, balki ek purane aur samriddh Thakur parivar ki virasat hai.

Jab koi mehman pehli baar hamari haveli par aata, to uski nazar sabse pehle isi gate par padti.

Lekin doston, mere liye ye gate sirf haveli mein aane-jaane ka rasta nahi tha.

Ye us duniya ka darwaza tha, jahan mere Dadaji ka anushasan tha, mere parivar ki paramparayein thin aur meri zindagi ki kahani dheere-dheere aage badh rahi thi.

2. Haveli ka Central Aangan — Ghar Ki Asli Raunak



Ab doston, gate se andar pravesh karte hi saamne nazar aata tha hamari haveli ka khula aur bhavya aangan.

Aangan ke beech mein ek sundar fountain bana hua tha. Uske aas-paas saaf-suthri flooring, gamle, hare-bhare paudhe aur sajawati ped haveli ko ek alag hi raunak dete the.

Aangan ke chaaron taraf bane baramde aur unse jude kamre is jagah ko haveli ka mukhya kendr banate the.

Kahin lakdi ke bade darwaze nazar aate, to kahin nakkashidar khambhon ke beech baithne ki jagah bani hui thi. Baramdon mein rakhi charpaiyan par ghar ke log baithkar aaram kar sakte the, baatein kar sakte the aur mehmanon ki aavbhagat bhi yahin ho sakti thi.

Subah ke samay jab dhoop aangan mein utarti, to poori jagah roshni se bhar jaati. Din ke dauran ghar ke log apne-apne kaamon mein lage rehte aur shaam ko isi aangan mein baithkar din bhar ki baatein hoti thin.

Kam se kam haveli ka ye hissa dekhkar to aisa hi lagta tha ki ek bade parivar ki zindagi kitni khoobsurti se ek hi jagah par simat sakti hai.

Lekin doston, ek hi aangan mein rehne wale sabhi logon ki soch aur unke rishte hamesha ek jaise hon, ye zaroori nahi.

Hamare yahan bhi apnepan ke saath-saath kuchh aise antar the, jinhen samajhne mein mujhe samay lagne wala tha.

Isi aangan mein Dadaji ko baithkar parivar ke logon se baat karte dekha ja sakta tha. Kabhi wo kisi ko salah dete, kabhi apne anubhav sunate aur kabhi apne poton ko apne paas bithakar unse baatein karte.

Aur mere liye to Dadaji ke saath bitaya gaya waqt sabse khaas tha.

 3. Haveli ka Pichhla Hissa — Hamara Akhada


Doston, ab aate hain haveli ke us hisse par, jiska zikr kiye bina mere Dadaji ka parichay adhura reh jayega.

Ji haan, hamara **akhada!**

Hamari haveli ke pichhle hisse mein ek bada, khula aur mitti wala akhada bana hua tha. Is jagah ko ghar ke samanya aangan se alag rakha gaya tha, taaki kushti aur vyayam ke liye paryapt jagah mil sake.

Akhade ke beech mein golakar mitti ka maidan tha. Iske aas-paas khula sthan, vyayam ke liye paramparik saadhan aur baithne ki jagah maujood thi.

Akhade ke ek taraf se haveli ke pichhle baramde tak pahunchne ka rasta tha, jabki doosri taraf boundary wall aur hariyali ise ek alag pehchaan deti thi.

Ab doston, aap to jaante hi hain ki mere Dadaji Thakur Baldev Singh apne samay ke pehalwan rahe the.

Unke liye pehalwani sirf taakat dikhane ka zariya nahi thi. Ye unke jeevan ka anushasan tha, unki pehchaan thi aur unki virasat ka ek aham hissa thi.

Sattar saal ki umra mein bhi unka akhade se lagaav bana hua tha. Wo khud vyayam karte, kushti ke daav-pench yaad rakhte aur doosre bachchon ko bhi pehalwani ki seekh dete the.

Aur main bhi unke isi mahaul mein bada ho raha tha.

Akhade ki mitti, Dadaji ki seekh aur unka anushasan mere bachpan ka ek aham hissa the.

Aage meri zindagi mein jo kuchh bhi hone wala tha, usmein Dadaji ki parvarish aur unse mili seekh ka apna mahatva rehne wala tha.

 4. Haveli Ki Banawat — Rajasthani Shaan Aur Purani Karigari

Ab agar haveli ki banawat ki baat karein, to iska poora roop paramparik Rajasthani architecture se prerit tha.

Deewaron par cream rang ke pattharon ki nakkashi thi. Upar ke hisse mein jharokhe aur jali-dar railings bani hui thin. Kamron ke darwaze gehre rang ki lakdi ke the, jabki baramdon mein majboot khambhe aur baithne ke liye paryapt jagah thi.

Haveli ke alag-alag hisson mein sajawati lanterns aur paramparik design bhi nazar aate the.

Upar ke manzilon se neeche ke aangan ka nazara dekha ja sakta tha. Is tarah haveli ki banawat mein khoobsurti ke saath-saath khulepan ka bhi dhyan rakha gaya tha.


5. Thakur Villa Ka Itihaas — Shankar Singh Ji Ki Virasat

Doston, hamari ye haveli mere Dadaji Baldev Singh ji ne nahi, balki unke pita, mere pardada Thakur Shankar Singh ji ne banwai thi.

Yaani ki is haveli ki kahani mere janm se bahut pehle shuru ho chuki thi.

Shankar Singh ji apne samay ke ek prabhavshali aur dridh vyaktitva wale insaan the. Unka apne bete Baldev Singh ke saath bahut achha rishta tha. Wo apne bete ki khushi, uski parvarish aur uske bhavishya ko mahatva dete the.

Unhone jab ye haveli banwai, tab iska roop aur iski vyavastha samay ke saath badalne lagi. Zaroorat aur parivar ki badhti zimmedariyon ko dekhte hue ismein kuchh badlav kiye gaye.

Haveli ki banawat ko behtar kiya gaya aur ise parivar ke rehne ke liye zyada upyukt banaya gaya.

Samay beetta gaya, parivar badhta gaya aur ek samay aisa aaya jab isi haveli mein Dadaji ke teenon beton ke apne-apne parivar bas gaye.

Lekin doston, yahin par hamari haveli ki ek bahut khaas baat saamne aati hai.

**Haveli ek thi, lekin iske andar teen alag hisse the!**

6. Haveli Ke Teen Hisse — Teen Bhai, Teen Parivar

Hamari haveli ko is tarah vyavasthit kiya gaya tha ki Dadaji ke teenon beton ke parivar apne-apne nirdharit hisse mein reh saken.

Haveli ke saamne se dekhne par iska baayan hissa, beech ka hissa aur daayan hissa alag-alag pehchana ja sakta tha.

**Pehla hissa — Kunwar Bhim Singh Thakur**

Haveli ka baayan hissa Dadaji ke sabse bade bete, mere Tau Shri Kunwar Bhim Singh Thakur ke hisse mein tha.

Tau Bhim Singh apni majboot shakhsiyat, rajneetik pahunch aur dabang vyaktitva ke liye jaane jaate the. Unka parivar isi hisse mein rehta tha.

**Doosra hissa — Bhanupratap Thakur**

Haveli ka beech wala hissa Dadaji ke doosre bete Bhanupratap ke hisse mein tha.

Ye bhi haveli ka ek aham hissa tha, jahan Bhanupratap aur unke parivar ki apni dincharya aur apni grihasthi thi.

**Teesra hissa — Vikram Thakur**

Aur ab baat karte hain haveli ke daayan hisse ki.

Ye hissa mere chachashree Vikram Thakur ke parivar ke liye tha.

Ji haan doston, Vikram mere chacha the aur isi parivar se mera seedha sambandh tha.

Main, Vikram chacha ke hisse me hi rahta hun, mera khana pina aur anya sab netik jimmedari, Chacha Vikram aur Dadaji ke hisse hai..

Is tarah ek hi haveli ke andar teen bhaiyon ke parivar apne-apne hisson mein rehte the. Har hisse ki apni rehne ki jagah aur apni grihasthi thi, lekin haveli ki badi pehchaan, uska itihaas aur uski virasat sabko ek hi naam se jodti thi—

**Thakur Villa!**

Halaanki, is bantware ke baare mein ek baat samajhna zaroori hai.

Ye teen hisse parivar ke rehne ki vyavastha ko dikhate the. Haveli ka mool itihaas aur ismein kiye gaye badlav Shankar Singh ji ki virasat se jude hue the.

7. Ek Haveli, Kai Rishte Aur Jay Ki Duniya

Doston, jab main apne bachpan ko yaad karta hun, to Thakur Villa ki tasveer mere man mein sirf ek khoobsurat imarat ke roop mein nahi ubharti.

Mere liye ye wo jagah thi jahan mere Dadaji ka akhada tha, jahan parivar ke bade-bade faisle hote the, jahan teenon bhaiyon ke parivar apni zindagi guzar rahe the aur jahan mere bachpan ki anek yaadein judi hui thin.

Is haveli ke ek hisse mein Tau Bhim Singh ka parivar tha, doosre mein Bhanupratap ka aur teesre mein mere chachashree Vikram ka parivar.

Sab ek hi virasat ka hissa the, lekin har parivar ki apni duniya thi.

Aur isi duniya ke beech main apni zindagi ke us daur mein tha, jab mujhe abhi bahut kuchh seekhna tha, bahut kuchh samajhna tha aur apne parivar ke baare mein kai aisi baatein jaanani thin, jinke baare mein us waqt mujhe kuchh bhi pata nahi tha.

Mere liye Dadaji ka pyar sabse badi taakat tha. Unki seekh aur unka saath mujhe hamesha aage badhne ka hausla deta tha.

Lekin haveli ke har rishte ka anubhav mere liye ek jaisa nahi tha.

Kahin apnapan tha, kahin doori aur kahin aise antar the, jinhen samajhne mein waqt lagne wala tha.

Aur doston, aage chal kar isi haveli ke andar aur iske bahar ki duniya mein hone wali ghatnayein meri zindagi ko ek naya mod dene wali thin.
