PART 63 A
Sangeet Day (kam se kam 10 parts ka to hoga)
27th May 2011
Ambewadi Ahmedabad
Noon
Sulking Fiancee's nasty neighbors😆
This is a small tribute to all the lower middle class girls out there in the world. I wish for a fairytale life for each and everyone of them.
Never quit dreaming!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bai: Subah se keh rahi hoon tujhe, jaakar naha le (lowers her tone and whispers) Bua dekhegi to sochegi, do din mein shaadi hai aur 12 baje tak nahai nahi
Khanak: Bai please roz subah main 7 baje nahakar 8 baje kaam par hoti hoon, Bua ko bata do! (angry)
Bai: Jaanti hoon beta! Par parson shaadi ha na?
Khanak: Shaadi parson hai na! (irritated)
Bai is shocked!
She has never seen her daughter like this. She seems hugely upset about something.
Bai: Bua ne kuch kaha kya?
Khanak: Nahi!
Bai: Tu itni pareshan kyon hai?
Khanak: Nahi to.
Bai: Bura lag raha hai chali jaayegi karke? (smiles)
Khanak feels a lump in her throat, picks up her pillow and rubs it on her cheek.
Khanak: Haan (tears flow down)
Bai has the Godrej open in the corner and is taking out many clothes she has bought for Khanak.
Khanak: Bai Mitali ke liye rakh do, who log mujhe 51 kapde de rahe hain (disgusted)
Bai (pleased) Bataya Madhvi ji ne
Khanak: Aapse dhang se baat ki unhoney? (bristling)
Bai: Haan! (confised) Kyon?
Khanak: nahi, koi baat nahi
Bai: Who log bhi aa jaayenge kuch der mein, dadi ne kaha tujhse milne aana chahti hai, Shaan ki Maasi bhi aayegi aaj bataya.
Khanak is sad and upset, she wonders if she made a mistake by agreeing to marry the guy.
A rich spoilt brat will always be a rich spoilt brat!
Fiancee is out of town, he was getting married in 3 days but who the heck cares, lets make out with half na--- women!
"God! I hate him!"😭😭😭
"Here I was upset and sad the wedding might not last beyond 6 months, banda hai ki ek hafta bhi tikne nahi dega shaadi ko! What a womanizer"😡😡
She punches her pillow, her Bai turns away from the Godrej to look at her
Bai: Jo saree maine lee hai who to lekar jaayegi na? (sadly)
Khanak: who kisi aur ko aap de bhi nahi sakti
Bai is happy
Khanak is sad to be leaving home, not being able to visit them frequently, marrying a man who might have just had too good of a time last nite,
"Bai aur Ada ko kaise lagega agar Shaan ke bare mein pata chalega?"
"What a Casanova!"
Grrr!
"I will go into work on Monday June 6th. He shud just go to the pub after work and hook up with those losers"
I absolutely hate myself for being in this situation"
Bai: khanak.
Khanak: haan?
Bai: kitni awaz dee beta, tujhe ek baat boloon?
Khanak Haan?
Bai sits by her on the bed, fondly rubs her head and soothes her tense shoulder
Bai: Tu baaten kiya kar beta. Aadatheek keh rahe hain
Khanak: Bai, mujhe chup rehna achha lagta hai
Bai: Har koi ladka pasand nahi karta uski patni hamesha chup rahe, aur who log to kitne ameer hai, log aate jaate rehte honge ghar par. Tu inta chup rahegi to kaise chalega?"
Khanak: bai (uncomfortable)
Bai: achha tu bol mujhe meri baat maanegi?
Khanak: sochoongi (sulks)
Her Bai hears a voice outside in the verandah. It's the next door neighbor Sia's Mom.
Bai: Aao na ghar pe,
Mom:Nahi main busy hoon (looks at Khanak's dull face)
Bai: Abhi soke uthi, who kya hai na saari raat phone par thi (giggles)
Khanak thinks "Ya right!"
She is again reminded of the guy. Feels angry all over again
Mom: Achha? (disbelief) Sia ka Rajeev to din mein call karta hai, raat ko kabhi nahi
Khanak thinks "Yaha na din mein na raat mein aunty so don't bother bragging, your daughter is marrying a good man"
Bai is a lil sad "Usko kaam bahut hai na, who ek bade building ke kaam mein direct kya hai who Khanak
Khanak: Director! (bored)
Sia's Mom is obviously pissed
Mom: Kaun si company, pooch taach ki aapne? Aaj kal to har koi apne ko maalik batata hai, aur is bechaari ke saath ko ek baar itna bura ho chuka hai(stops)
Khanak is not hurt at all
Bai: Aap us baat ko kyon dobaara bata rahi hai? Hamari Khanak ekdum kya kehte hain English mein lucky hai
Mom: Chalo achha hai, sasural kahan hai? Meri Sia ka to Andheri mein hai (proud)
Bai has no clue where it is bechaari, she looks at Khanak
Khanak: Achha ? Great aunty!
Mom: Sia to bahut lucky hai, ladka gaadi bhi khareed raha hai, aur humne ek rupya nahi diya (smug)
Khanak: Great aunty
Mom: Si aka sab achha ho raha hai, chalo tum bhi khush raho. Tumhara sasural kahan hai?
Bai has no clue.
Khanak: Umm' Mumbai mein
Mom: arey kahan? Main to "Bombay" se hoon, "I know" (broken English)
Khanak: South mein hai?
Mom: South mein? South mein to koi colony nahi hai. Sab daftar hai. Daftar ke peeche hai kya. (Wonders if Khanak is marrying a caretaker or a janitor)
Khanak: nahi, flat hai
Mom: (Sia walks up to their veranda also. The Gujarat housing Board houses are all identical) Kaam to director bola director ke office mein hai kya? Sia to computers kar rahi hai uski job to pakka hai par. Rajeev ne baat bhi ki hai, tum dono "touch" mein rehna. Kabhi Andheri ka "visit" karo to chale jaana
Khanak: Jee
Sia: Where does your husband live?
Khanak: Not my husband yet (smiles)
Sia: I refer to Rajeev as that only (gushes)
Khanak: How cute (Ughhh she thinks)
Sia: You must come to Andheri. Its their own flat. 9th floor! New flat.
Khanak: I will.
Sia: Agar main aayi south Bombay to aaoongi. I wont go there much (disdainfully)
Khanak: Oh!
Sia: Mummy who kya kehte hain us ke peeche who jo hai na (pointedly looks at her to indicate some low income housing)
Bai does not understand English but knows her daughter is being insulted
Bai: Card lekar aaoon Us par ghar ka pata hai.
Mom: nahi bhaisahab kal dekar gaye aapka card
Bai: unke card mein pata hai, hame to pata maloom nahi tha
Mom: Mumbai mein har kisi ka bataane waala pata to hota nahi (smiles)
Khanak checks the text msg on her phone, Ritu's plane has landed, she smiles at it
Mom: Ladka Punjabi hai?
Bai: haan, par bahut ishmart hai
Mom: Shaadi par aayenge to dekhenge (smirks)
Bai: aajakl sab barabar hai, Punjabi apne log sab ache hain.
Mom: iske liye to apne yaha mushkil se milenge.
Khanak is not at all bothered. She is too mad at her guy to worry about anything
Sia: Here is my number, and Rajeev's Aana zaroor
Khanak: Sure!
Sia: You cant remember where you will live?
Khanak: Oh! I do. Malabar Hill!
