         try
		{
			FileReader fileReader = new FileReader("D:\\Amit\\bibhu\\a.txt");
			BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
			
			while(bfr.read()!=-1)
			{
				String s = bfr.readLine();
				System.out.println(s);
				
			}
		}
		catch(Exception e)
		{
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

Your bfr.read() call reads a single character each time, after which your readLine() gets the rest of the line. Use this instead:

String s;
while ((s = bfr.readLine()) != null) { ... }

[Rajasekhar Pentakota]

The pointer moves forward. when you use read() method it moves the pointer one character right.
