Will Come & Go

Waiting for someone for their work n wasting own time is such a nice occasional job,makes the victim feel so gr8,all use to experience it n get irked but never realise when they make else wait...

Most of the time when i use to be a victim and ask God 'why its happening with me?' but God never answer, I get the answer from my soul-"tit for tat"..so i just zip it....

To deal with such kind of above situation,i never forget to carry my backpack which includes books(ofcourse not related to studies),a puzzle box(till today not able to solve the puzzle),a pad(to scrabble n doodle in it)..

And the day which was thursday.I was waiting for one of my friend who was suppose to pick me up, as i was been informed by him that he was having some important work to do for which he needs my help..as per my knowledge and experience,all of his important work were rubbish and worthless till date..

Aimlessly again and again same message from him was getting delivered in my inbox,"plz wait, dont go anywhere..reaching within 5 mins" ,,since 25 mins..

A tall white temple was standing at the opposite side to me, thought thrice to go inside but three factors- scroching sun, crowd in the temple and atleast 15 to 20 steps to climb to enter the temple made me lazy for the time being.In such situation i never forget to recall what my grandma says most of the time,"God is in us,in our heart, just pray from the depth of heart,there is no need to go to temple"..It helped..

Beside to me was an open desi tea/coffee bar, few vaccant wooden chairs were present. i approached towards it. while putting down the weight on the wooden chair, it made 3 to 4 kind of cracking noice as if all the four legs will break into pieces which made me jump and stand...

"bhaiya,sit on it, nothing will happen , even if a 100Kg man will sit on you ,,still the chair can resist the weight ", a lad tightly ensconced inside t-shirt and shorts holding 6 to 7 glasses of tea, handed me one glass of tea, i could even see one of his finger was almost in the tea(forgot to notice the length of his nails) and gave a smile and went to others to serve them, his name was chotu.

"acha, thank you"again took the seat and the chair didnt break

I started to imagine,even if the chair can resist my weight along with 100kg on me but i cant resist that 100 kg demon. bla bla,, leave it ,its not a issue to be issued..

Now the episode starts,

A guy waiting for his friend to pick him up, siting on a chair which make noise even if one nod his head,completely bored,reading a boring fiction holding it in one hand and a glass of tea(ingredients-70 ml water, tea dust n 3 drops of milk) in the other hand and suddenly 1,2,6,10,,25 ....drops,here comes the rain,,it was the only thing missing and its arrival added stars to the situation... As the lucky guy was me, i got the indication - how would be my rest of the day..

adjusted the chair in such a way that the rain will not directly fall on me passing through the plastic woven terrace..inserted the book and zipped the bag.. sat up their with cross arms in seething mood looking at the people jumping here and there on the street to save themselves from the hammer of rain with their tie and boots on..

Few medical representatives with their huge mustache and bags were busy in smoking cigarettes and talking about their current month targets. i had read in an article->the smoke from the cigarettes is more harmful for the people who are standing or sitting near the smoker than the person who is smoking, it meant that i will get ill prior to the smoker getting affected by Acetone, Acetylene, Ammonia, Arsenic, Benzene, Benzoapyrene, Butane, Cadmium, Carbon monoxide, Cyanide, Formaldehyde, Lead, Methanol, Nicotine, Nitrogen oxide, Phenol, Propylene glycol,Toluene which are present in the smoke..

its was raining as well as the sun was playing its role,,searched for rainbow but didnt find ,,lier science n lier my strict science school teacher..

the trees and the boundary walls of the temple were having a nice bath n looking fresh..

Now entered the hero,

A man of height around 6.2 ft, with long dreadlocks hair,half naked wrapped up with deep red dhoti like wearing a Saree ,carrying a huge potli at one side of his shoulder,with long and wild beard exited the door of the temple and approached towards the cha bar getting wet..the nearer he came the prominent and huge he looked ,, his thick mustache covered his lips and also wore bali in both the ears.

He came under the plastic woven terrace, took out a blanket from his potli,spread the blanket on the ground and sat on it, showed some code gestures to chotu and made himself comfortable taking out few rudraksha mala from his neck and biceps.

The rain was getting horrible.The message from my moronic friend-"papa is not allowing me to go out of the house as its raining,hope u understand.:-( " made me realise that i have to wait and go back alone after the rain stops.

After few mins, chotu came with a glass of tea and a packet of matchsticks..

the man stretched a bit and then opened his potli, took out few weed and mashed it with his palm then kept it on a piece of paper, and then took out his gadget from the potli i.e his traditional smoking pot-"chilam",inserted the weed (marijuana) , lighted the matchstick, showed it at the edge of the chilam and sucked in a stylish way..

after 3 to4 secs stretched his neck to the top resting both of his hand at back and damn the smoke!!.. the thickness and the intensity of the smoke coming out of his mouth was more than the carbon dioxide coming out of the silencer of a 2-stroke bike!!

he carried on with it for 3 to 4 more puff and thank god!! he stopped,,,,the worst smell was all over the place.the smell of the smoke even can make a normal human faint..but the 6ft demon was playing with his lungs with that smoke..

he packed his instrument and sat on the blanket with cross legs..

few times he caught me looking at him..

"what happened beta!!!" and suddenly he uttered,,,which i didn't want him to do..

i gave him a smile and turned around and looked at the temple, praying either to stop rain or to create a situation so that this demon will go away from here..

"what do u do?" again he asked

"am studying"

"what were you looking at!! do u want to try chilam!!,,dont be shy"(what the heck!!!!,,i couldn't believe,,how can he ask such question!!)

"no, i dont smoke"

"this is not cigarette,,its chilam ,,very pure "

"what!!!no,,thank you.."

looking at me,,he laughed out louder,,his eyes were like the eyes of an enigma..

"dont get afraid,i was joking,, i saw u were watching me since long so thought to horrify u" he said and again continued laughing..

not bad..i felt relaxed,, but didnt expect it was coming..so just chucked all ideas i was plotting to break his head , if he irks more.

"whats your name beta"

"amarjeet"

"i am from north,i like to travel,,do u know the meaning of ur name, amarjeet?" he was behaving like the HR department.

"it means immortal"

"r u immortal !!"

"no,, of course not"

"so why u r out in such a weather?"he went on questioning n made me superb bored

"just was waiting for my friend, he didnt show up,,the moment rain will stop ,,i will check out"

"the temple you see up there, it was just a small hut few years back, now its looking like a palace..,, these roads,,,so much people ,,nothing was there..the whole area was full of trees,kind of forest, i have even seen wild animals up here with my naked eyes...but now nothing,,,when i was a kid, i never thought that this place will turn into a piece of concrete,,,earlier days i could have a ramble for days n days with bare feet when the roads were not so perfect but now i have to take rest as i get burn on my feet as the roads have turned polished and perfect..i dont understand where is the world going..leave it , you are too small to understand" he took a break looked at the sky and said-"dont worry,this rain will stop soon" while mentioning about the current situation of this place, a kind of frustration was there in him..

he was not so bad or dangerous,,so thought to have a chat with him till the rain stops-"so, whts your name? "

"lol..i dont have any name,,i dont know what is the date and day or year of my birth...people at my place call me 'baba',,and people of your age call me 'mad man' or 'uncle'..lol,,my wife dont need a name to identify me nor my son,,why will i need a name,,whenever i say people i dont have a name,they set a name for me"

"what!!,, you have a wife and a son!! what do they do?? where do they live??"

"you ask so much...yes i have a wife as well as a son who is married a beautiful and nice lady,,my is few years older than you..my wife manages flower business, buying and selling of flowers and she likes to maintain the nursery,,sometime i feel she loves it more than me and actually she is very good in her work,,, about my son, he is having a utensil shop and also helps his mother in her work,both love each other very much,we all stay together at our native..Now you must be thinking,what kind of person i am who is so irresponsible to leave his wife and son alone and move here and there like a mad man as if he dont have any work!!..rite!! " he looked at me for a while with his raised thick eyebrows,,,i didn't know what to tell,,, again he asked,"what!! am i not right!! ,weren't you thinking about what kind of irresponsible person i am !!"

"please dont mind..yes i was thinking about it, how can you leave them alone and travel,, they must be worried about you.,,and where you stay and what you eat and all ..how you manage so!!" i was puzzled but he was calmly listening to me..

again he laughed,"listen,like i said you my wife love to deal with flowers,, i have set up the business in such a way that she dont have to work much even if she wants to, one party comes, delivers the flowers at the place and collect the money then the other parties come,collect the flowers from our place and makes the payment, this is what business is,rite!! and my son, he is a married man, now he should take decisions and enact it as per his way individually,, why should i interfere in his affairs!!,,he is having a long life ahead,, i know he can deal with it..what you say!!am i rite!!"

"yes" i nodded.

he continued "i often visit my wife and son to meet,,we live to the fullest... earning is not a big thing!! any one can earn, and as you asked where do i stay and what do i eat!!..i love to travel,,where ever i get a place i stay,,i dont have any problem,,about eating part, i eat what human eat..lol..i can even stay without meals for days,,all depends on how you control your desire and the way you frame your mind..but that doesn't mean that to control desire you will go to the extent,,,if u do so, u will starve..lol"

his hands reached his huge potli and took out family pic, showed it to me indicating his wife, son and daughter in law, he was also standing beside his wife in the pic.

In between the rain stopped, but the rain of knowledge i was getting from this person who was having no name was having much weight..

'where are you!!' message were randomly getting delivered in the inbox by my moronic frnd, but who cares...now i am busy..

"But beta,earning or having meals or place to stay is not a big thing... my wife and son love me a lot still they dont have any problem letting me do what i want to because she have faith on me,,, faith comes from understanding and one is ready to understand only if he/she is satisfied with you,,that is life and its so simple.. "

we exchanged our mobile numbers.

it was almost evening, he was having his train to catch,,i wished to spend more time with him..

i accompanied him till station.

while getting inside the station in other words getting departed from me ,he got serious and said,"people will come and go in your life,you will get some knowledge from them in positive as well as in negative form, all you have to do is to remember, if u cant remember then just chill and forget,,who the hell cares,,more people will come and will give you more knowledge" we both laughed and he started to walk

after few steps ,again he returned and lowering his head to my ears said,"if u need some raw pure marijuana, then i can give it to you"

"is it good!!!"

"shut up,, i was kidding,never dare to try it,,GOD bless you"

and hence he went away..

after two days when i tried to call to his number, it said-"the number doesn't exist"

as per his words-"people will come and go in your life,you will get some knowledge from them in positive as well as in negative form, all you have to do is to remember, if u cant remember then just chill and forget,,who the hell cares,,more people will come and will give you more knowledge"

What and Why!!

Yahooo messenger!!, the place where all nonsense talk all nonsense even if they know they are talking nonsense. Sunday is the best day to stroll in the chat rooms of yahoo.All kind of characters/cartoons are found in the chat rooms->
Guys will be talking about girls and gadzets.

Girls will be busy talking about latest fashion and bitching about their friends.

Some people busy having epicure talks.

School kids will be talking about their teacher's status like what is going on between 'X'sir and 'Y'ma'am!!

Love birds will be busy in their pvt. mess. box god maybe knowing what make them last for long in that box for hrs and hrs.

And the most active members are the so called-'bots'('bots' a name given to the cam models,advertising agencies) who will be busy with their recorded message indicating to click on their webpage and view them as per your wants provided you have a credit card. They bother you till you put them in ur 'iggy bag' which is your 'ignore list'. Those cam models or the advertising agencies never use to talk normal stuffs like about "your hobbies","who are you","what do you do", so on normal questions and talk..

It was sunday and i was at my humble abode suffering for cold and fever which was just like heaven and their was no way out except getting logged in yahoo n chat but the worst part was none of my friends were online which added colourful lights and stars to the heaven.


I went on changing the chat rooms to chat with someone who will not continue with same customary chat, but no!! didnt got any, all were after -"hi",,"hello" ,,"asl!!". damn wht is this!! why people are so usual and normal!!

But the bedevilling bots didnt stop bothering, all of a sudden i made up my mind to bother them more they bother me so that for the 1st time i will be ignored by the bots, went on writing to them all kind of absurd stuffs, words which flash with stars instead of alphabets,whote pestering poems full of insanity . After few minutes, Yes!!! i succeded,most of them inserted me in their iggy bag ,, some went offline getting scotched by me..wow!!

I was busy doing gas and gaiters.All of a sudden an instant message flashed from a user named 'scintillation', scintillation!!!,,, hmm the word was catchy but what does it mean!!, i couldnt wait to know the meaning of the word and got it in lexicon -scintillation i.e 'conversation or performance which is very lively and intresting'..wow impressive!!

I clicked on the instant message to view it-

"what the hell wrong with you ?" what the hell is wrong with me!! who is this scintillation writing these words to me!!

"sorry!!! who is this?" i emplored in a hope that maybe one of my friend is online with a new ID.

"am the one who got irritated by ur futile poems and hd to log off,.. u moron!!" i got to know she was one among those to whome i was sending absurd poems and i succeded..yes!!!

"Yes, its a pleasure of mine and am happy for my deed too .. why the hell you bots going on eating up people mind with ur bloody recorded message- 'am free,wanna hook me up!!',,,'chick on my webpage to see me doing xyz', why !! " i replied.

"shut up , u fool , its my job and i was doing it.."

"ohh great,, nice job, by the way why r u using now a different Id for writing this to me, u could have said the same thing in ur professional ID..lol"

"You r really an irritating monster n the reason am answering you from my personal ID because nw my 8hrs of work got over n the fact is we are not allowed to talk with anyone in our professional id, its a rule of our company "she answered.

"what a joke!! cam model conpanies hv got rules too!!!! wow..lol and how can u people sit infront of the cam for 8 hrs!!!,,fun! "

"shut up, its not at all funny!! i wish i could kill you right now,, u like moron dont know anything and will not understand. Its not easy at all for me to show pvt. skin and give fake smile to frustrated peverts who have got credit cards.. still i have to for living and to earn, atleast this job is better than becoming a street slut n getting laid with anyone, up here the company give us protection and body gaurds too, atleast its safe..and thank god i have got quite good figure and okey kind of looks so i got selected as a cam model otherwise i have seen how girls suffer for mere bucks." from her words i felt like she poured on me whatever anger she had for her suffering in her life.

I didnt get any words what to answer , i was reading her lines again and again,she went on buzzing ,after around a minute i answered,"okey !!...all i can say ->sorry!!!,,a sorry will do!!"

"its fine , am sorry too , i over reacted..i was quite tensed ...but your poems were so..i mean so baloney,, their was no sequence and the reason i logged in my personal id and chatting with u because you irritate very well and i wanted to take revenge.lol." she came back to her normal state after receiving a sorry from me.thank god.

"actually those poems were meant for irking u,.lol,,by the way the name of ur id is really a nice one..i like it"

"thanks..i too like the word ,, i like to read a lot of books, both fiction and non-fiction n in one of the book i found the word.. ",she went on.

i interrupted"wow...me too like to read books,who is ur fav author?" , books and a cam model!! quite odd!!

"i like books of paulo coelho"she answered,, paulo coelho !! a cam model!! Great,coelho, u r famous everywhere.

"hey i like his books too ,,but why didnt you complete your studies and went for any other kind of work!!" i added

"Am doing my nursing, it will take more one year for completion of the course..i borne my expences and pay my dues by doing this current job, once i complete my complete my course i will leave this job....damn!! you question so much.. i feel like you are a nice guy , hey!! now am in good mood!!!...let me tell you one thing as a friend...dont always judge people or take out conclusion about them by knowing WHAT they are doing ,you should 1st try to know WHY they are doing that work.. "she was continuing but i interrupted "i think once i told you sorry !!!"

she wrote"and i think i also told you ,,'its okey!!' accepting your sorry!!..am not passing any taunts to you ,just a friend giving you an advice..lol"

Then for around more 1 hr we had chat relating to books ,,people, jokes,,life,, and at the end got to know -NOT TO JUDGE PEOPLE BY "WHAT" WORK THEY DO BUT ALSO TO FOCUS ON "WHY " THEY DO THAT..

My BakWash..

"thank you",,"nothing much",,"yea sure ,treat is on me",,"sharp at evening 7 pm at heaven's garden",,"bye bye". and this is how the call ended.
Three mandatory sentence one have to face from all on his/her birthday starting from midnight i.e
1.happy birthday/many many happy returns of the day.
2.what are your plans?
3.what about the treat?
From last rapid 6 to 7 calls at midnight i got an idea ,it is wise to record your voice and set in mobile -> "thank you" and 'the venue where you will give the birthday threat' for those who dont get sleep and dont let the birthday victim's sleep!!
And the B'day morning -> It was around 6 am and the gang entered to give me surprise visit to celebrate my b'day at my place or in simple pour water on my love ,my sleep. I was in my boxer but they were in well attire.The characters were as follows:-
1.Ram-my friend.
2.shyam-my friend, stays always with me
3.anu-my friend, something is going on between ram and anu .
4.Shruti-much more than 'just friend'.

It was my day and as per the tradition i was suppose to show some attitude but believe me as am humble so i remained humble.

They came with a huge cake(black forest) and i was sure the four were waiting when i will chop the cake and deposit it in their mouth. I too had to tolerate the rough chorus birthday rhyme but among the all the voice shruti was sounding divine,kind of awww!! and wow!!!

Ram , Shyam and Anu were looking good.Shruti was looking beautiful, i don't remember what colour she was wearing that day but the colours she was in was meant fr her only. I cant describe her more or all boys as well as girls will fall in love with her, which i cant resist.

Spending about 5 hrs at my place, we planned to go for a long drive and having our launch out. Everything was going on as per our schedule but something was wrong, whenever i was having a talk with Shruti the rest three were giving pity look to me, i didn't knew why !! and why should i know ,who cares, ignore them, just focus and focus only on shruti but something was wrong with her too , she was also quite awkward with me and its obvious as we met after 4 months, she will take some time to come back to comfortable state. leave it , never mind.

The lunch was good, thanks to 'hotel heaven's garden' . I thanked the waiter booked a table for the evening for the another gang.I am having a lot of friends.It also quite hurts too when the healthy wallet turns undernourished/sick/underweight in just few hours.

shyam the car owner and chauffeur dropped Anu at her place, then Ram at his place, then Shruti ,wow!!,at her place,i saw her walking towards the door,waving her fair hands but nonsense, moron, idiotic person shyam drove the car and shruti was out of my focus.

I was about to enter my home , the mobile ringed and it was shruti , she wanted to meet with me the next day at Cafe Coffee Day. Its not a big deal,It happens when two lovers meet after a gap their love get ignited.

At evening with shyam i went out for the dinner with the other brat group but somthing was wrong with Shyam ,he was not in his happy happy mood. I dont know why , maybe he is not having a GF as beautiful as shruti so he maynot be in good mood. I will try to fetch a nice one for him too like mine.

Next day- In winter sun use to be lazy so i was in his path too. The previous day party and khatti had made me tired.

and the mobile ringed instead of alarm.

"aaello"

"good morning, ohh my god you are still sleeping!!! okey will you be able to reach on time in CCD..i will be waiting, i need to have a talk with you ,plz be on time." instead of alarm shruti woke me up!! now am sure the day will be wonderfulll, goodmorning was sounding like awsome morning from her mouth. i also can imagine how she would be looking, how she would be smiling at me and forcing me to get out of bed..

"i bet, i will be on time, this time, i cant allow me to feel guilty for getting late always ".

"okey then tc , see ya "

"chelo bye".

Again i went back to my sleep not because i was feeling sleepy but just to have a flashback how i met with her, how we started to meet again and meet again and again and and.

Seven years back, the last day of final exam of class- IX, shruti and i were small kids as compared to present,actually all were small as compared to present. The exam hall was full with 100 students giving exam and two invigilator in to and fro motion.

shruti was wandering and looking at her i was pondering.

"excuse me! do you have a extra pen? ther is some problem in the ball of the refill , its not having a smooth flow, in a hurry i forgot to get extra pen" HAIL,,without answering i was just looking at her. she looked tensed but beautifull,red,cute. she continued,"its fine , let me ask someone else".

"NO!!, i mean i can lend u mine, i am almost done with the paper, if you dont mind we can excange the pen, i can adjust with it".

"are you sure!!"

Asuring her i exchanged the pens and got back to our answer sheet. while writing with her pen i felt as if i am holding her curled fingers and making her write, and the flow of the ink was so smooth.

As it was the last exam all were in a hurry to go out of the exam hall quickly and carry forward their further plans. she forgot to return my pen and i didnt want to her.

The results came out after a month.The best part was we scored equal marks in the last exam, that doesnt mean that we cheated or copied from eachother answer sheet but that is what compatibility is. true compatibility.

After the class she came to me and apolsized for losing my pen and i too consoled her not to get disheartened and returned her pen which i stored as if it was an oscar award for me.I felt so proud of my pen,it sacrifised itself for his owner. R.I.P- Renolds Jetter(my dear pen.)

Her mother use to pick her up after the school and again the best part she was getting late on that day, we had a long chat,she likes to write poem,her fav. colour is blue,she is alergic to egg,she like all movies of sharukh khan..... I love god , he is so helpfull. I was thanking god for making her mother come late and her mother arrived which made me also feel-god is not always helpfull ,he too have a time limit.

she mentioned her mother how i helped her and about our marks,,wow she said OUR... OUR marks!!..Listening to shruti about me, her mother asked me to join for lunch the next day as vaccation had started.shruti also insisted. HAIL!!!!

The whole vaccation was for her , we got to eachother in details,, she started to talk about others with me about her friends and about her likes and dislikes,,in short she needed to make someone listen all her nonsense and i was available. Even i liked to hear to her initially but now if anyone will pay me in lakhs to listen to her i will ask the payee for mercy.

Then after 2 or 3 years, as usually happen and happening with everyone- we got to know its not just friendship between us, its kind of more than that ..then valentine day turned more important than friendship day and independence day.

After 1 yr , before ending the call instead of "bye" the scripts changed into "i love you",,"i love you too"..the private love story turned into a public news, all friends started to make their eyebrows jump whenever saw me and shruti together..now what is this!!! dont they have anyother except staring at us!!

the things doesnt remain same when both express themselves i.e"i love you",,"i love you too"...then came the saturation point. I lost my interest and started to preach "we are grown up, we should focus on our career, there is no such thing as LOVE exist in this world,we should be PRACTICAL!!!" listening to this at first she started to sob a bit,, is it their birth right!! in small things they start to sob!! but yes she also looked beautifull even when she sobs,, those beautifull dark circled wet eyes,,but later she also started to think like me i.e practically and we both focused in our studies..

I exactly dont know whether she dated any other guys or not but i came across 2 to 3 girls it was not my fault ,,it happens as per situation. but the fact is pooja or swati or dims were just nothing as compared to shruti,she was more perfect than them.

slowly slowly the reglular calls turned into occational calls or i can say just formal call in a week or in a month then few times in a year..we didnt cared to keep records of eachother but whenever i used to be with anyother girl i doubted about shruti- what she must be doing!!, no she is good girl ,she cant date other guys,she must be studying at her place right now.

then we again turned into 'just friends',but still something was left which was more than just friendship.But i was quite sure she is always their for me.

Back to the present from the flash back->

I got up after one hour, made me complete all my task. completed some things which i noted as "things to do"

That evening was good but lazy, if i woulnt have promised shruti then would have slept at my place.

she was looking like an angel.All of a sudden i noticed her hair were no more short,they are long and shinny,even lights were getting reflected on it. she was busy with her mobile.The mobile is also not the same,she got a new one.

"hello dear, am on time today ,,just look at ur watch"

"good evening" greeting me she just informed someone on her mobile about my arrival-"he have arrived, you too come as soon as possible"

"is someone else going to join us!!" i asked

"yes, just guess!!"she said. why the hell i will waste my time guessing!!why dont she say ,who is it.,,whatever.

changing the topic i asked,"so! what new in your life? studies!!! any new guy or guys!!"

"nothing new, everything is smooth,so do u like my dress!! i got it today." dress!! the most important thing for girls, they can murder anyone for it.

"its a nice one,suits you" i didnt noticed that, the dress was making her more ...whatever. why am being like this!! sick.

someone came from the back and covered my eyes with his fingers, "guess, who am i!!" i was not able to guess..and he came to to the front. Ranvir!! what is he doing here?

"arre yaar ranvir! what a surprise" i stood up and shoke hands. I turned towards shruti "so he was one who was to join us!!" but why!!

Ranbir, our school mate,good in acadamics, good in sports and rich and objective oriented guy, a perfect for advertising chyawanprash.

"yes , i wanted you to meet with ranbir" she spoke smiling and ranbir went back of shruti's chair and stood their landing his hands on her shoulders and she was casual with it!!

AWww, understood.

after a gap she spoke"ranbir is the guy whome i love the most." she was having a confident flow of voice,"i wanted to share this with you, as you are a good friend of mine" ,,"so what you say!!"

what should i say !! i was blank,but no!! i cant show them that its not a surprise but rather more than a shock to me,"wow, congrats to you both." again reached ranbir and gave him a hug and didnt even wanted to touch her,she started to stink in a miserable way.

Ranvir looking at me spoke"so thank god , you havnt forgotten me, it was really a pleasure to meet with you after a long time, i can never forget my school days." if he cant forget the school days ,how did he forget about me and shruti, sala cartoon.

i lied "how can i forget you!! you were the nicest ,nobel guy in our class,hope still the same now!!"

"i bet , am now and will remain always too"ending his words he garbed a chair and sat holding the ugly fingers of shruti.

"so how you both met, you in national law school ,pune and shruti in kiit?" i didnt wanted to stay anymore with them.,the place was crowded , everything was imperfect,, people turned miserable.

both shruti and he exchanged glances smiled and he answered"you can call it,destiny!" destiny!! my foot.

The girl at the cash counter all of a sudden looked more beautifull than shruti,the old ladies were also having more elegant look than shruti. I didnt bother to look at shruti anymore.

with my fake so called happy looking gesture"so i am the first one to get the news about you both "

shruti intruppted"no, actually you are the last one to know in our gang!"

"is it ? do shyam and other know about it!!"

"yes, i told them day before yesterday."she told

"why didnt they informed me about you and ranbir!!"

"how do i know ,you ask them, shyam insisted me to inform you directly ,he told me that he hardly meet with u,,so i invited you up here" she was not able to look at me directly while speaking,, i could see the guilt in her eyes and i was feeling happy but shyam!! ,he is going to be dead with my bare hands.

I had a chat with ranbir for more 30 mins, He talked about the way they met ,the way found that they are soulmate of eachother and all rubbish.

atlast we three were set to leave and the twist- shruti wanted to talk with me alone in the absence of Ranbir. why the hell she is doing this , i dont understand,,huh leave it.

Ranbir went out near to his car getting busy with his mobile.

she broke the silence"hope you understand". i was able to see the guilt

"i have already understood." i said and also felt it ,,at the very moment i realised - i was the one who started the relation and ended it. she didnt have any fault because i was the one who was never commited.

" but promise me we will always be friends"she asked for the promise but it was not that easy for me.

"sure".

we both walked out of the cafe, she took the front sit beside ranbir. we waved hands, i wished they should have a nice time,,then their was just a unknown crowd, i went back to my humble abode.

BUT shyam, i will kill that guy, why didnt he tell me about shruti and Ranbir.

i made a call to shyam and asked him to join me at my place within 15 mins without mentioning him about my knowledge related to shruti and ranbir.went back to my place washed my face which made me feel good ,, ate a packet of maggie noodle and turned completly normal.

was still hungry, so went for one more maggi packet.i was busy eating my noodles and shyam entered, he went straight to kitchen and came back with a fork and took away my maggie plate.

"why didnt you tell me ?"

without looking at me , busy eating noodles, "i got to know about her day before yesterday and didnt wanted to ruin your birthday so.."

"but still ,you should have told me, it was completely a kind of unexpected for me"

"you deserve it, hey leave it,, okey tell me one thing what am i eating now" he started his rubbish talk

"noodles"

"no,its not only just noodles,i snatched it from you or you can say its your leftover, which i am having now " he and his puzzle talk

"what the hell u mean?"

"so just be happy, consider shruti as noodle and me as ranbir,,and feel good"

"IDIOT, just shut up,,chal get up,,lets go for a drive"

"you know what ,,shruti gave me a call 5 mins ago,she and ranbir also went for a drive,, a long one,, just guess!!"

" i am not at all intrested to guess.Shall we go for a drive,. if your nonsense talk is over!!"

we both went for a drive ,shyam didnt stop his nonsense whole evening.It was a nice day though.

Experiencing certian things give a lot of lessons.

Atlast...

"How r u !! , leave it , i know u must be fine. Do u know ,today he phoned me and gave a good news, i am so happy" the moment i entered through the door she started her bla bla bla..., my dear sister ,i mean my dear drama queen sister.

"what !! who ?" i was puzzled

"sameer, I love him so much, hey !! where were you for so many days , i have to tell you so many things" actually she was not just speaking , she was shouting which was making me remember what i have read in sound, a chapter in physics , in which it was mentioned -girls have more shrilling voice than boys.

I was in a hurry to rush to the toilet , somehow i managed to make my way and rushed to the bathroom and huh..

when i opened the door of the bathroom with full swing-"ouch,, don't you have eyes.. u nonsense" she was standing outside with her knocked head.

"i am sorry, by the way how will i know you were standing here!!" i gave an excuse for knocking her head with the door but didnt felt sorry.

"okay you were about to tell me 'so many things' , what are those 'so many things' ?" i asked her just to change the topic but i didn't had any idea what kind of mistake i doing.

"haan yes, come sit here" she dragged me towards the couch and continued "i am getting married,mine and sameer's wedding dates got fixed, isn't that exciting!!" after saying this she looked at me making a face which made me realise that i have to say something now .

"ohh ,that's great ,, nice,, okay have u seen my Levi's jeans,its of deep blue , last Sunday i left it here " i spoke and started seeking here and there for my jeans.Every Sunday i use to come to her place, to meet with everyone in the house.

"the hell with your jeans,, it about my life and your are concerned about your jeans, i think you are not happy with the news, don't u like Sameer !!" again she spoke, sorry shouted..damn what is this!!! she is getting married , she is happy , sameer is happy , i am happy , all are happy. what else i have to do to make her seem that i am happy !!! i really feel pity for the up coming guy in her life-sameer.

" why are you always thinking negative , i like that guy, he is an Apollo,an Adonis, you both love each other, i feel both of you are made for each other, you both are just 100% compatible, a perfect couple"whatever i knew , i just spoke to escape from her worthless madness,, my praise for Sameer made her eyes sparkle like fog light of Mercedes.

"you are my so sweet brother" now i turned sweet, this is what human tendency is!, then she helped me find my jeans, folded it , properly inserted it in my bag and made my work easier.

Next Sunday->

she was seeming quite upset and busy with her dairy writing something.

i don't understand why girl always take their dairy and Scrabble when they are extremely excited or fully frustrated.

"hello sis"

"hey how are you, i was waiting for you" she spoke making face like a pug.

"whats up !!! why are you as upset as King Lear!!'

"nothing , everything is fine, just problems love to be with me" indirectly she mentioned what was her condition.

"so anything new news about you and sameer" i asked ,which was my goof of the day.

"don't you please talk about that MCP" she yelled and returned to her originality

"what is MCP?"

"Male Chauvinistic Pig, he is the one, all the boys are MCP" she answered and i understood.

"ohh okay"

But damn what is this!!! it may be true -Sameer is a MCP but why she is blaming all the guys for her so called lover's 'whatever deeds' for which the last week's 'dear' have turned into 'MCP' for the current week

"we had a fight , do you know.. bla bla bla .." she started the engine.

"stop!!, no way , my ears cant bear your cross swords story anymore. Its not for the first time you both are brawling.One day you fight and next day your love sparkles as lovely as Venus,u turn into juliet and he becomes your romeo,, please have mercy on me, i am having loads of work , i have to check out ,am in a hurry !!" i interrupted folding my hands.

"what do you mean ? I think you feel good to see me unhappy, you don't have bit of time for your sister!! All behave with me in this way , no one have time for me ,am the only one who is wasting my time and putting all in trouble.None of you understand my feelings,not sameer, none of my friends and not even my brothers and sisters,, whatever ,,get lost ,no need to talk to me and waste your time ,just go away" words ended and sobbing session started..

From her words , i got to know i was not the one who denied to listen to her story but prior to me a long list of people were there who had refused to listen too.
The situation turned awkward for me, neither i wanted to give ear to her story nor it was wise to leave the place without listening to her. Finally decided to kill more time, there is a proverb- 'for being a good speaker , one have to be a good listener',,,but who is going to listen to me if i speak all this nonsense!!!

"okey fine ,don't start crying now, doesn't suits u , tell me what happened?" forcefully tried to be a concerned brother.

"why should i cry!!! or why shouldn't i cry!! how does that matter." she was completely unstable

"okey calm down , so what happened between you and him ,, i don't have any work, my ears are on" i said made my gestures as per my words or in simple words maintained hypocrisy.

"Two days back i phoned sameer 5 to 6 times but he didn't pick up the call even once,,it made me worried about him ,, and after 24 hrs ,,naa more than 24 hrs,, that moron gave me a call and said he was busy and forgot to give me a call,what the hell is this!!! he didn't forget to skip meals, he didn't forget brush his teeth but forget to call me !! "

"he may not have got time ,, IT pays well but sucks too " by saying this i tried to end up the story.

she continued" i understand he is having lots of work but still didn't he get few seconds for me !!! how can i marry such a person who cant take out time for me?so, i thought he is cheating on me and when i said the same to him , he just disconnected , is this the way he should behave with me!"

"you did what ! blamed him that he is cheating with you ? "

"yes, what else i was suppose to do , you know me well, i am a straight forward person. whatever comes to my mind i just mention , i am what i am " she replied or gave a excuse ,god may be knowing.

"good , gr8,, wonderful , sorry it was awesome ..damn how can u say this to him directly !! and what do u except! after you will allege him with all nonsense stuffs , he will be polite to you rather not disconnecting the call!! i think the fault is yours" i said

"told u , all guys are MCP, they have same mentality, you are one of them and how can u support Sameer!! i am your sister, i thought at least you can understand."

"listen sis, take my words ,just call him and tell him sorry, it was your fault "

"whatever, i am not going to do that, you can leave now , i dont need to have any more talk about this matter" her words gave relief to me.

I got up and made my way towards exit, she again yelled to come back, which was really irritating ,i felt sorry for the character-Sameer, poor he ,wish god may give him some peace after he get hitched.

"what" i asked

"do u think, it was my mistake ?" this kind of rubbish questions she always used to ask.

"Yes Indeed" i replied and she made a wry face.

suddenly the phone ringed, one of her friend called up, she got busy telling her the same story and i got a chance to roll away.

After two days, it was a sunny day and i was busy in polishing my shoes, my brother rushed towards me holding my mobile.

"bro, drama queen is on line " he said and adjusted the mobile between my shoulder and left ear.

"hello"

"hello doodle"

"yes ma'am , what can i do for you? " i spoke and was eating 5star, my fav. chocolate.
"shut up and listen, Sameer is on conference, he need to talk with u "she

"why !! i mean ,i will be grateful to talk with such a personality,, hello Sameer bhai!" gripped the mobile with left hand , took out the 5-star from my mouth and held it in right hand.

"hello doodle , hope you are fine, just wanted to have a chat with you and your sis made it easy by putting u in conference, she is a sweet creature" his voice was like a girl !!! not in real though but it was sounding so in mobile phone.

Exactly a 'creature', don't even take permission before inducing the receiver in conference..Thank god, i didn't raise the fight incident with Dia didi , yes , Dia is my sis's name.

"its my pleasure to have a talk with you ,Dia didi always talk about you ,hope u r pulling on well" me the hypocrite spoke.

"yes yes , she even tells about you a lot too , bla bla bla " Sameer spoke.

For a moment i thought both Sameer and Dia are made for each other, both are talkative.

"saw u both , am so very much concerned about u all , u both have to agree on this" Dia barged in .

"bla bla bla " we had a talk of near about 25 mins, all kind of unproductive talk.

After the call was end I wiped the black polish from the 5-star which got a finger print on it hand while holiding it with my fingers,chewed and enjoyed the chocolate and continued polishing my shoes.

After a month-

"Doodle, am exicted and kind of afraid too, just one more week, ohh my god i am getting married"

"it happens !! okey are you going to cry at the time of bidai? "

"i am confused, i dont have any idea i will cry or not but yes ,if all will cry then i will too,depends on the situation , let see what is happening " after saying this she got busy in counting her saree which she was suppose to take with her to her sasural.

All kith and kin arrived for the wedding ,some were known and many were having unknown faces, all kind of rituals was performed.

Some even came with their abstract dialogues:-

*"ohh this is Dia, last time i saw her -she was a small kid ,now look at her ,turned into a lady ,a beautifull bride,,the guy will be luckly to have a such a girl in his life.."

*"she is as beautifull as her mother, put a kala tika on her face "

*"who is the guy , is he of same caste!! still who cares about caste distinction now a days!!"

*" Be like XYZ, the bengali aunty , always try to keep your husband in your clutch otherwise they will not give respect in public or in private"

*"is this a love marriage!!, our days were different , we were not even allowed to see the would be groom , but now a days , the guy and girl use to meet atleast 10 times to know eachother, and arre bapre if parents dont agree then those brats just elope"

*"---" excuse those character.

Wedding day->

All were tensed, some for arrangement of mandap , some for choosing the right attire for the evening ,some for providing right kind of treatment to the groom members and some were just tensed but didnt knew the reason why they were tensed.

For decorating , dressing and painting of bride, about 10 to 15 people were present , one for maintaining kempt hair,one for eye brow shading, one for making the face look pink, one for mehandi,one for nail polish, one for supplying water to the bride when she will feel thristy ,one for making her wear saree with many pins so that even if the bride go for a roller coster ride prior to marriage still the saree will be at the right place and so on all were busy .

The procession of the groom entered dancing with new songs , half of them were drunk, its inevitable but thank god the groom didnt took alcohol on the wedding day, that doesnt mean that the groom consumes alcohol rest of the days.

The moment groom entered the place the performance of rituals started, the elder members of the both bride and groom family kept an eye on so that a single traditional ritual will not be able to skip.

On the mandap the bride and groom were made sit like robots , both of them behaved as if for the first time they are getting married.

Lots of guests were present, some aunty's daughters also came, we were there to treat them well , kind of providing 'handle with care' treatment , ready to serve as per their needs.

The bride and groom were fading due to hunger but didnt have any other option , atlast God listened to their prayer and the marriage was over, both of them swaped sweet to eachother and had their meals ..

After marraige was over , time for bidai episode, halogen lights of the hired camera men were on those faces who were crying properly.Sobbing and hugging continued for half an hour, only thing was missing was the perfect song for the moment i.e of Mohammad Rafi -

"Babul ki duaayein leti jaa Jaa, tujhko sukhi sansaar mila

Maike ki kabhi na yaadaaye Sasuraal mein itna pyaar mile ~~"

But the camera man commited,while editing he will insert this song in the CD .

Everyone had a good sleep the next day and didnt bother to get up and finish their work.

All deposited their attire in drycleaner shop and paid the bill.

After 5 days, i got the knowledge that both bride and groom had been for honeymoon and enjoying their happy married life.

After 10 days ->

I heard my mobile ringing..The call was from a STD number.

"hello "

"hello doodle"

"aree Dia,, whts up?"

" was sitting alone at home so thought to give you a call, how are you ? you have forgotten your sister completly" she was sounding exicted.

"Its not like that .we all miss you ,,am fit and fine as fiddle,,,so celebrating honeymoon!!"

"yup, my honey (Sameer) had been to office and i am sitting here watching the Moon , this is how am celebrating my honeymoon" we both laughed at her words

" it was nice to hear your jolly voice, so!! ATLAST U GOT MARRIED !!!,, wish u have a happy married life dear." we had a long chat and then the call ended.

she is happy , we are happy , All are happy ,,HAPPY HAPPY.
