Jitna bhi saal guzar gaye ho, par Geet Handa toh wahi haina?

Uss ko do minute bhi akhele chod do, woh phir se apne favorite timepass mein atak jaathi hai…. Wahi, apne app ke faltu dukhon ki dukaan kolke beit jaathi hai…

Geet thinks about what happened in the past…

Those were the golden days of her life, when she was with her family….

Geet ko achanak usski bachpan ki birthday yaad aagayi, jo Geet ki aakhri kushiyon wali janam din thi…

That was the last birthday that she celebrated with her family, not in Delhi but in Hoshiarpur…

Geet’s birthday is on 9th December…

Most of the times it was during the half-yearly exams time and Geet would celebrate simply at Delhi, with her family and off course the Khuranas….

Sheetal would make a lovely cake for Geet, yes, Sheetal Khurana, she is a great Baker…

She even makes those salted cookies, that’s Geet’s favorite even now… She must be waiting for Geet’s return to make them for her… why all the Khuranas are so nice to Geet, except that one Khurana?

Ranno would decorate the house like it’s Diwali, Geet likes the simple diyas decoration… all natural, no artificial lights or colors…

Like the ones they have at KM, full of filmy gimmicks, they even had a banner for that stupid MSK’s birthday once, what a pathetic way of self advertisement?

Why is Geet not able to keep the Khuranas out of her life, specially that Khurana? Because her life is entangled with the Khuranas now…

Darji would come to Delhi every year for her birthday, stay with them till her exams are over and take her to Hoshiarpur with him for the holidays…

Geet had spent such lovely times at Hoshiarpur with Darji… now she is left all alone in this world!!!!

But she is a brave girl now, she will fight for herself and she will single handedly destroy that Khurana, haina? Babaji! Aap hamesha mere saath haina? Mujhe patha hai, aap zaroor mere saath denge? Kyunki aap hamesha sach ka saath hi dethe haina?

That year her exams were over earlier owing to elections and they have gone to Hoshiarpur, Darji’s health deteriorated suddenly, he had a mild attack and so the whole family is here, including Kiran and Annie… They were worried about leaving Darji alone at Hoshiarpur and that’s when it was decided that Darji would come and stay with them in Delhi after the construction of their new flat…

How good it would have been had things gone as per their wishes?

Geet still remembers those days…

Ranno was arguing with Maninder as usual…

Ranno: kya ji? Ab aaise haalat mein Geet ki birthday ko kya celebrate karein? Hum Delhi wapas jaake karenge na?

Maninder: nahi, Darji bhi akhele reh reh rehkhe udaas rehte hai, aur Geet bhi Darji ke saath celebrate karna hi pasand karthi, aaise haalat mein Papaji iss bar hummare saath Delhi nahi aapayenge, hum Geet ki birthday ko kal hi yahi celebrate karenge

Ranno: koi na koi Darji ko dekhne aarahe hai abhi bhi, aur aaise mein hum kushyan manaathe toh achcha nahi hoga

Maninder: jaise bhi mere liye apni beti ki kushiyan hi sab se bada hai, waise Papaji ab teek ho gaye hai, butter chicken khane ke liye bhi taiyaar ho gaye hai, tum kal zaroor banao

Ranno is upset, yahi Delhi hota toh sara khana bahar se mangwathe… haina?

Par Ranno bahut achche khana banathi hai, thoda lazy hai ..

Kiran bhi Ranno ki madat karthi hai…

Kiran ek badiya cooker cake banathi hai…

Kiran always loved Geet as her daughter itself, she loves her brother and even she has lost her entire family now….

They had the party arranged at the terrace, with only her family, Kiran and Annie, Geet was so happy that night..

The humble earthen lamps giving tough competition to the moonlight, that warmth of her family, that melodious song that was filling that place with all the joy that she wished for....

Maninder signals something…

Suddenly everyone goes silent.. and the music begins…

“I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright

I’ll be alright

Tu hai toh tedi medi rahe

Ulti pulti baatein

Sedhi lagthi hai

Tu hai toh joote moote vaade

Dushman ke irrade

Sache lagthe hai

Jo dil mein taare vaare de jagah

Woh tu hi hai, tu hi hai

Jo rothe rothe de hassa

Tu hi hai wahin

Jaane kyun (jaane kyun) dil jantha hai

Tu hai toh, I’ll be alright

(I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright)

Jaane kyun (jaane kyun) dil jantha hai

(yeh, yeh ,yeh)

Tu hai toh, I’ll be alright

(I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright)

Saari duniya ek taraf hai

Ek taraf hai hum

Har khushi toh, dur bhage

Mil rahe hai gum

But when u smile for me

World seems all right

Yeh meri zindagi

Pal mein hi khil jaaye

Jaane kyun"

Its Papa and Beti's favourite song playing on the iPod, her first iPod….

how could she forget that iPod gifted by her father that day… she still has it with her… 

Maninder was more a friend to Geet and not the typical orthodox Desi father.... 

That's why Geet misses him the most....

Thinking about birthdays, Geet has stopped celebrating her birthday after her family left her…

And now she is more disturbed at the thought of her birthday after that nightmare(the one that changed her life upside down and made MSK her worst enemy)….

They say that you always try to forget about the things that give you shivers and make you feel unhappy, but Geet Handa is a different breed, haina?

Geet is neither going to stop thinking about that nightmare nor is she going to stop thinking about that MSK….

Whether it’s a love relationship or a hate one, but Geet Handa can never forget our Maan Khurana….

Geet goes to sleep thinking about her next plans…
