"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!!'

"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"
"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.
"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.

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
"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.
