CCD
"sh*t...charging unit isn't working" she curses
" mobile phone isn't just a commodity of use any
more...its more like a bad habit... an addiction" he states like a professor.
"hmm...who said this?" she asks
"me"
he makes a funny face
She starts rubbing the phone battery on her handkerchief.
"can you tell me what's exactly your problem?" he asks
"I am here to meet a boy, for marriage " she says
and he starts laughing.
"what's there to laugh in it? Only boys can go to meet
girls for marriage? Girls cant come?" she argues
"now a days girls meet guys for all reasons except for
marriage, that's why I asked"
he states timidly
"anyways liked the boy?"he asks again.
"told you... didn't meet anyone" she says
"yaa..." he says remembering
"met neighbors...that too arrogant" she says still rubbing the battery on the
handkerchief.
"whats the tension?" he asks seeing her rubbing
the battery vigorously
"that boy's number is in my cell phone... and cell's
battery is dead" she says lifting the battery in her hand showing him.
"what are you saying!...you don't remember the number!!" he kinda yells shocked
"uh huh?... that's why, now I'll have to wait here till
evening" she says
He again giggles "to say no' for the marriage"
"how do you know that?" she asks shocked
"I heard you talk earlier... on the phone" he says
casually
"you were eavesdropping on my conversations" she says angrily pointing finger at him.
"Eavesdropping?...why do I need to eavesdrop your
convo's?... you are speaking loud even right now, that a person in the mountain
ranges will also be able to listen you... why should I eavesdrop" he giggles
The ccd waiter comes there.. "how can help you?"
"yes...the order...one cold coffee with ice cream and one
corn n spinach sandwich..okay?...and yeah put some cheese in the sandwich
okay?...and grill the sandwich from both sides...um...yah and what will you have?"he
gives his order and asks her
"thnx" she sarcastically says him, but the
waitress turns to leave, "one caf latte" she gives her order, the
waitress starts to leave.
"ma'am give extra mustard sauce" he adds in his
order and the waitress goes away ,while she looks at him shocked. Then she
looks at her mobile and gets angry.
She bangs her cellphone on the table irritated with the
cellphone.
"what good will happen by banging the cellphone?"
he asks amused.
"what good will happen?!...anyways because of that guy
now I'll have to waste my whole day here" she says irritated.
"oh stop thing about him now...don't fuse your brain"
he says and stretches his arms.
"huh...fuse your brain?" she asks with wrinkled
forehead...
" yeah...you want to say no' na?..then who cares if you
couldn't meet...go back to Mumbai...send him a sms later on... what yaa you Mumbai
girls... you can come for coffee with a boy you met only twice... but can't stop
worry about the guy you didn't even meet?" he gives idea and opinion.
"oye hello what met twice? Huh?...first time I just
asked you directions and second..second time..you came after me." she
retorts him.
"what!! I came after you?...so you mean to say I am
following you?...stalking you!!?..." he asks.
"maybe (she says nonchalantly and he gasps in shock)...i
thought why roam with any unknown person in this new unknown place...the one who
is following me everywhere... what's bad in him... right?" she says teasing
him.
"wow!...you have some great logic huh...oh whatever you
are saying might be right only (then turning towards the counter) oh
madam"
She murmurs something.
"you said something?" he turns to her and asks.
"no...I am thinking about that guy she says spraying
perfume on her wrists.
"sooo!!...when is the wedding date finalised?
...huh?" he asks teasingly
"finalized vinalized nothing okay...thank you (to the
waitress) and I toh cant understand the issue about all this stuff she starts
saying about herself.
"you don't try to understand" he puts in his views.
"maybe...but all this...marriage, in-laws... I just don't
trust this institution." She gives her statement.
"what there about trust or no trust?...this is our
tradition" he says like a lawyer for traditions.
"but till when we going to say this?...i mean now see
this...who is this guy?...ho does he look? He is fair and handsome or tall and
dark? Who knows?... someone gave my mom, his mom's contact number...and my
mom...without asking me or informing me, sends my photo to this boy's house...and
this boy! gone case(crack) he has said yes for the marriage just by seeing a
picture of me!...huh" she tells about why and how she was stuck with this
meeting.
"(while eating sandwich )yeah right... how can he agree
for marriage just by looking at the photo... you should meet a few times, talk
with each other, get to know each other" he says with food in his mouth.
"exactly...i didn't like him at that point only...looks
like a despo..." she says stirring her coffee.
" you noticed... this is the first time, when we have
agreed on same point...hehehe...madam mustard sauce!"(he says and yells
for the sauce)
"and more over when I got to know that boy is from
pune...I wasn't interested in meeting him alsoshe adds some more info.
"what?!!" he asks shocked.
"he is from pune na" she shrugs her shoulders
"oi! What he's from Pune, he is from Pune
huh?...explain plz" he asks somewhat offended
"what I mean is I am from... Mumbai...and he is from...Pune
(she says in a disinterested way)"and shrugs her shoulder.
"he is from...pune(mimicking her)...what do you mean?...pune's
men are more smarter than mumbai's men...it's a fact" he says, his ego
hurt by her thoughts about Pune boys.
"huh...and "pune's men only declare this" she
taunts him.
"what's there to declare in it?...it's a universal
truth... boys of Pune, go to Mumbai and create a position from themselves..."
he says.
"yeah...because, there are no opportunities in pune to
create 'position'... that's why they come to mumbai" she teases him.
"there's a reason behind that okay" he says and
she rests her chin on her palms making a "I am listening" stance.
"Mumbai is facing scarcity in knowledge and
intelligence...understood?...huh!...cant understand a simple thing...huh" he
says offended by her remarks about his city.
"seriously?" she says with a cringe.
"what seriously?...based on this knowledge and
intelligence only, you mom has selected a punekar boy for you.. huh?" he
boasts.
"oye... mom will selected 10 boys for me, but I should
like the boy I want to get married to
right" she retorts.
"yeah then that's your problem...not of punekar boys"
he shrugs it off
"problem is of Punekar boys only okay?...dont know what
language they talk in?...cant understand a thing" she says complaining
about Pune boys.
"oh hello we use original language... 100% pure hindi
or marathi... not like mumbaikars' mumabiya dailect..."idhr ko aake,
udhar ko mudhke ..left mei side ko jaaneka" ...we don't have this confusion
here like Mumbai okay... we talk clear and to the point , we have pure
language...pure language and thinking too" he again does some self-praising.
"oh... what clear language do you have?...just now... I
saw at that aunty's house...a post-it stuck on the door...1/2 litre!...what is it?
litre what? Why is there 1/2 litre?... what is it?" she says in a fed up
tone.
"that's Pune management techniques...you wont
understand" he shrugs it off.
"management?" she questions
"yeah man-to-man management... the message is maybe
for whomsoever person, he understands the message also, and the work is done
perfectly too... we in pune, talk less...in less words...but point to point...
people who use brains understand it..(she tries to intervene) one minute I am
not done yet... for examples take the post-it...this is world famous...Puneri
paatti...google it." He says the whole speech in one go.
"you talk sooo much!...you don't get tired?" she
says looking at him shocked.
"nope...made in Pune" he says proudly
"huh...made in Pune" she murmers. the bill arrives
"thank you" she says to the waitress
"you guys na, live in your own world...Pune" she
states , taking out her purse to pay the bill.
"okay I'll go then... my batting is pending" he
starts to leave.
"oh hello...i am paying only for my coffee" she
says taking out the money.
"huh...why?!" he asks shocked
"what why?"she giggles
"why means ... I don't have any money with me" he
states his problem.
"what" she yells and everyone starts looking at
them
"how can that be?" she questions shocked
"what do you mean by how can that be?... I was playing
cricket... you only came asking for the address" he says in a worried tone.
"yea then...so what?" she asks with a frown.
"so what means?... I didn't knew something like this
will happen...i don't have any money" he says scared of the further
consequences.
"this is my coffee's payment" she says showing him the
notes and glaring at him. She keeps the money down.
He stares at her worried.
