घर के बीच से गुजरती है, दो देशों की सीमा

सीमा विवाद विश्व में झगड़े की प्रमुख वजह है, लेकिन यूरोपीय शहर बर्ले इस मामले में सौभाग्यशाली हैं। संत शहर का भौगोलिक विभाजन बड़ा दिलचस्प है। आधा शहर नीदरलैंड्स मैं तो आधा शहर बेल्जियम में। सड़कें, बाग,संग्रहालय; रेस्त्रां ही नहीं घरों के बीच से भी यह सीमा गुजरती हैं। यानी कई घरो का आधा हिस्सा बेल्जियम में तो आधा नीदरलैंड्स है। मजेदार बात यह है कि इस विभाजन के बावजूद यह शहर खुश हैं, क्योंकि यह लकीर यहाँ के पर्यटन का भी प्रमुख हिस्सा है। सैलानी दो देशों के बीच बंटे घर, गली और सड़क को देखने आते हैं और फोटो खिंचवाते हैं लाल ईंटों के घर बस साफ सुथरी सड़कों वाले शहर की बात अनोखी है। यहाँ एक देश में कुर्सी पर बैठकर दूसरे देश में टीवी देख सकते हैं या हर कदम सीमाओं को लांघते हुए चल सकते हैं। बेल्जियम वाले हिस्से को बार्ले और नीदरलैंड वाले को बार्ले नासायु के नाम से जाना जाता है।

वर्ष1830 में बेल्जियम नीदरलैंड से अलग होकर स्वतंत्र राष्ट्र बना उत्तरी सागर तट से जर्मन राज्यों तक सीमा तय करदी, पर जब इस क्षेत्र में पहुंचे तो सीमा मुद्दों को बाद में निपटाने को छोड़ दिया। जब सीमाएं तय हुई तो शहर बज चुका था।

My Bank Account - Stephen Leacock

My Bank Account Stephen Leacock my bank account  When I go into a bank I get nervous. The clerks make me nervous; the little windows at the counters make me nervous the sight of the money makes me nervous; everything makes me nervous. The moment I go through the door of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I attempt to do business there, I become an irresponsible fool. I knew this before I went in, but my salary had been raised to fifty six dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place. For it. So I walked in with dragging feet and looked shyly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account was obliged to consult the manager. I went up to a counter marked ‘Accountant’. The Accountant was a tall, cool fellow. The very sight of him made me nervous. My voice was deep and hollow . can I see the manager? I said, and added solemnly alone. I don’t know why I said ‘alone’. certainly, siad the accountant, and fetch...

The Power of Determination by Burt Dubin

  The little country schoolhouse was heated by an old-fashioned, pot-bellied coal stove. A eight-year-old boy named Glenn Cunningham had the job of coming to school early each day so that he could use kerosene to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and his classmates arrived. One cold morning someone mistakenly filled the kerosene container he used with gasoline, and disaster struck. The class and teacher arrived to find the schoolhouse engulfed in flames. Terrified on realizing that Glenn was inside, they rushed in and managed to drag the unconscious little boy out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital. From his bed, the dreadfully burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die – which was for the best, really – for the terrible fire had devastated the lower half of his b...
