Humlog waha neeche ek sthaan hota hai uskey baad upar jaane ke liye ghodey se jaana hota hai, usko 'mini Switzerland' kehte hai. Toh waha jaane ke liye 7 km ghodey se chadaai karni padhti hai, toh hum upar nahi gaye the. Hum neeche baithe the restaurant mei aur bacchon ko bhej diya tha. Bacche matlab, mera beta, bahu, bahu ki been, ye sab log gaye the."

"Mera beta aur bahu baithe the, snacks kha rahe the. Peeche se aai aatangwaadi, poocha Hindu ho ya Muslim ho. Unhoney jaise hi Hindu bola, turant goli maar di. Meri bahu kehne lagi mujhe bhi maar do, boley nahi tum jao Modi ko batana, tumhey nahi maarenge. Aur uskey baad baaki logo pe goliyan chalayi."
