Gaurav was not at his place, sanket was wondering as to what sort of thing gaurav might be doing in the Flight.Sanket knew Gaurav has always been out of order, but that what makes their chemistry weird, he smiles at whatever he does, Gaurav always tried his best to know whats going on with sanket, but may be the years of long gap as made that friendship a bit distant to share the inner feelings.

Sanket: stop messing around.. yeh meri sasural hai..

Phone Hunged up.. Arjun still not satisfied.. Planning to call nitin also..but not exactly sure as to what to do.

Arjun reached home..anushka was waiting for him because they had to go to anushka’s friends place for the Tea Party.

Arjun : Haan chalo aagaya main.. Sanket went to India to usko drop Karke aaya..

Anushka didn’t heard it as she was in a hurry.. Arjun thought she ignored because he got late..

Anushka: Lets go we are getting late.. (Calling the kids to come out and sit in the car)

Arjun : Yaar tumse kuch kehna tha..

Anushka : (angry face) car mein nahi bol sakte kya ?

Arjun : are yaar.. har bat pe gussa karti ho..

Anushka : chalo na.. kya ladki jaise muh banalete ho..

Anushka: oh cmon..Please try to understand.. acha I will try..

Vinayak : I am comfortable with $85000, Let me know when to book the tickets..

Arjun was confused and he didn't knew what happened..whats going on. Anushka was Tensed as she didn’t had a clue as to what to say..

Anushka : acha baba 75% sure I will come..

Vinayak : Good.. Arjun ko bolna maine call kiya tha.. shadi mein aajaye..i didn’t tell him.. Surprise for him.

Anushka : Vinayak ki shadi hai or tumne mujhe bataya nahi ?

Arjun: Mujhe bhi abhi pata chala (Nervously Smiling)

Anushka : You and your Friends.. God Bless Me

Arjun : (had nothing to say)…Hmmmm

Both of them left to anushka’s Friend place.

Arjun was silent as he wanted to talk to vinayak about his marriage..

Anushka was confused as to what to say to vinayak. She knew Arjun must have asked vinayak to call her , because that’s the only way she could be convinced to come to India.

Phone rang again.. Next on the line was Sanket

Anushka : Hey sanket ..kaise ho ? kaise yaad kiya ?

Sanket : I am Good.. Going to India

Anushka : What ? Arjun ne bataya he nahi ? what happened ? (staring at Arjun)

Sanket : Everything Good.. Bas I am getting married in next 15days..

Anushka : (Pinching Arjun as hard as she could).. Arjun ne mujhe bataya he nahi..

Arjun stopped the car..

Arjun: whats wrong with you..can’t you see I am Driving

Anushka raising her voice..why didn’t you tell me sanket is going to India, and he is getting married.

Arjun : I told you, you didn’t listen.. and now stop yelling ..people are looking at us

Sanket : hello..i am still on call..could you guys please stop it.

Anushka : Sorry sanket.. yeah say..

Sanket : I know last month he didn’t let you go to India, I know but see this is the time you should come to wedding , my wedding. Please it’s a request.

Anushka : Offcourse.. you are our younger brother.. we will surely come.. now we have to attend two marriages..

Anushka : don’t you know vinayak is also getting married ?

Sanket : (Puzzeled) Vinayak ?

Anushka : he just called and said he is getting married in 15days only. I am coming.

Sanket understood that Arjun and Vinayak planned something.

Sanket : ohh yeah I forgot. Sorry.. yeah come soon guys..

Anushka : Sure.. I gotta do lots of shopping.. yay.two marriages.

Sanket : Yeah sure.. Your one dress is on me.  Take care guys.

Anushka : Happy Journey Sanket.. See you soon.

Arjun : Lagi Meri watt.. bolo kya chahiye ?

Anushka : Can’t you be like little more excited ?

Arjun : I am excited okay ?

Anushka : Any news about Gaurav ?

Arjun : Nopes.. Might be playing with gorillas.

Anushka : I feel bad for that guy sometimes.. bechara kya khata hoga.. kaise rehta hoga..

Arjun : Jo samne hai uski chinta nahi hai.. jo jungle mein hai uski chinta hai..

Anushka smiled at him and pinched on his cheek, Arjun couldn’t just stay angry with anushka.. it was the kind of bonding they used to share.

Both reached the friends house.. there was a huge party going on..

Arjun was trying to be nicer to people, and anushka was having lovely time , talking to her friends about Marriage and Plans to India.

Meanwhile.. at the Airport.. Sanket was sitting with someone whom he knew..

They were sharing oldest stories.. he was happy all of a sudden.. and the flight took off to INDIA.  

Friends Part - 4

(Sanket at his home packing up his stuff, anamika looking at me, she is feeling happy because they were about to get married, but she was sad because she didn’t get her holidays, she was about to leave for India 15 days after)

Sanket: Kuch or leke jana hai ya fir bas hogaya tumhara ?

Anamika : are abhi masi ke ladke ke toys reh gaye hain, Nagpur wali nani ne apni beti ke liye chocolates mangwai hain..

Sanket: (Ajeeb Shauk hain en logo ke ) waah.. Nani log chocolate , Gajab ka modernization hai.

Anamika: (in low voice) are kabhi to bhool jaya karo, hamesha majak udate rehte ho.

Sanket: acha meri ma jaldi packing karo, Arjun aane wala hoga, I gotta go with him.

Anamika : Shall I make something for him ?

Sanket : Haan haan jake brownie banao, cake bake karlo, main to kal bhi flight pakadlunga, mere sasur ji ki airlines hain..

Anamika : kitni chhoti batein karte ho.. poora airport tumhara hai..(sarcastically)

Sanket: Hey bhagwaan.. es ladki ko sudhar do..

At the door, aniket arrived, still thinking about the way to tell his wife that they gotta go to sanket’s wedding.

His wife just changed the job and it was only at the time for extreme emergency that she could take a leave from the job, also his kids couldn’t take holidays from the school just to attend marriage of father’s friend in India, because that was 15 days affair (when you go to India, you meet your relatives, I mean each one of them, otherwise you are not true Indian)

Arjun: Bhai..i don’t have much of the time, jaldi karne ka hai , ghar pe Guest aarahe hain, I need to make chicken for them.

Sanket : (Giggling) you still cooking the same old stuff ? You still master chef of home ??

Arjun :  Legend are born, not made. My Cooking Is Legendary.

Sanket : Okay sir, aab jaldi jaldi uthwao saman, I have flight in 3 hours.

Arjun: (still the same old One) tune kya chinta ki tujhe Bhai India chorhke aayega.

Sanket was expecting something like this from Arjun , afterall this is what has been able to make sanket laugh in these 10 years.

Sanket: abhi tere guest aane wale the ??

Arjun : Bhavnao ko samajh..

Sanket smiling, Arjun laughing hard..

Arjun : Hey anamika kaise ho ?

Sanket : bhai bahen jake baat karlo , main saman utha leta hun.

Anamika : hello bhaiya, kaise ho ? bade dino baad darshan diye.

Arjun: chal be sanket, 5 min mein yeh sab load hojana chahiye..

Sanket : sale kabhi to kaam aajaya kar mote..

Arjun : Anamika esko bolde mujhe mota nahi kahe., I have lost 2 kgs in 185 days.

Everyone laughing..

Anamika :  aap enko chodo, jaldi se aao ek cup juice ya shake lelo , thoda thik lagega, buffalo is too hot.

Arjun: teri wajah se esko uthake leke jaraha hun..warna to kabhi nahi aata..

Sanket : (while lifting the heaviest bag).. abe chup kar han chup.. 5 min mein bahar aa..

Finally they left the home, Sanket was tensed about anamika and her family, but he couldn’t just share it with Arjun, Arjun was still thinking about his wife and kids and how to tell her that they need to go to India.

There was deep silence, the car was just moving on the road, both of them looking ahead on the road, and they really have nothing to share, because both of them were lost in their own world.

Kehte hain ki khud mein sambhal jaya karte hain aandhi or tufaan, ki samne wale ko to main tehra he lagta hun.

At the Airport

Arjun : looking at all the food shops and Sanket looking at his cellphone.

Suddenly a girl passes by, Arjun stopped, while sanket was still walking.

Arjun : sanket, did you see that girl ? you…

Sanket : Please yaar..you are married, I am about to get married.. what the fuck is that ?

Arjun : But you..

Sanket : Bhai I am getting late, abhi nahi baad mein batadena..

Arjun Stopped and Smile, the girl he saw was Sanket’s Friend, whom he used to Love, like a lot, things didn’t worked out because he was too scared to admit that he had feelings, while everyone of his friends knew about it.

Arjun : okay, to fir tu aram se jana, do call me up in case you need anything.

Sanket : Haan please anamika ka dhyan rakhna..

Arjun : ofcourse yar..chal seeya..

Sanket and Arjun  looking at each other, Hugged, Sanket wanted to tell that he wont come back, he will settle in India, but he just couldn’t, Sanket and Arjun had been friends for years, you just cant declare something when someone expect you to come back.

Arjun : Chal be, senti na ho..

Sanket : Tu shadi mein aayega na..

Arjun : (nervous smile).. Haan yaar kaisi baat karta hai…ofcourse I will come..

Kuch Ansuljhe Pehlu

Khete hain majhab nahi sikhata aapas mein baer rakhna..

Kehte hain ki bht mushkilo se naseeb hoti hai jindgi insan ke roop mein..

Kuch khuda ke naam pe karte hain julm yahan..or kuch majhab ke naam pe..

Kya etna mushkil hai yeh samajhna ki majhab jeene ka tarika samjha sakta hai..

Jindgi jeena nahi...

Kuch dino phele suna ki 200ladkiyo ko kidnap kiya kyuki Padhai unke majhab se waqif nahi rakhti.. 

Kya waqai kisi majhab mein padhai ko mana nahi hai ?

kya waqai insan ne apne anusar majab nahi banaye ?

Kya aaj bhi dimag hamara un poranic baato mein laga hai..jinka hum asal jindgi mein matlab nahi nikal pate ?

Kya fark hota hai ek hindu, ek muslim, ek sikh, ek isai mein ?

kya agar main isai ke ghar mein hota..to kya mera naam charles, chris nahi hota ?

ya fir main musalman hota to mera naam abdul, yusuf, waseem nahi hota ?

to kya main woh banjau jo mujhe mera mjahab sikhata hai ?

ya fir woh banjau jo main banna chahta hun ?

Kya insaniyat ki jagah kam hogai hai ya fir majhabi takato ne humko etna pangu banadiya hai ki hum soch he nahi paate ki majhab se aage ki duniya hai be ya nahi ?

Woh Ek Din

Haan , tha woh ek din.

Jab main thoda to ruka tha..
Samne he to tha woh mere jisko paane ke liye maine na jaane kya kuch nahi kiya..

Woh muskra raha tha mujhe dekhke.. Or main soch raha tha.. ki aisa kya tha usme
jisne mujhe etna bhukha banadiya ki aaj woh mere samne hai or mujhe bhukh nahi hai..

Haan kuch door he to tha woh..
Kyu the mere hath bandhe.. Kyu tha main khamosh..

Haan woh samne he to tha..
kya kuch nahi socha tha uske liye..
Par kya shayad uski parchai thi jisse mujhe pyar tha.. ya woh insan tha..

Haan Muskura he to raha tha woh..
kya tha mera jurm jisne mujhe insan se hewan bana diya..
Kya thi aisi pyas..jisne mujhe khoon peene pe majboor kiya..

Haan samne he to tha woh..
Jiske liye main sabkuch khone chala tha..

Haan mera gurur he to tha woh....
Jiske liye main mar mitne chala tha..
