***********************
Maan comforted himself on his window seat .
He is travelling in a bus after a long time, he looked out of the window ,the scenery outside was the only thing that he could watch happily because the scene inside the bus was definitely not worth watching ,at least not the girl who is sitting beside him.
Why is the need to send this girl with me , is it my fault that she is going to the same place where I'm going ...huh!! Dadi bhi na!
He looked at the girl sitting beside him ,he was so angry on his dadi for sending this silly girl with him.
He looked at her ,she passed a broad ,a real broad smile with her twinkling eyes. She was happily enjoying her music.
As he turned his eyes and looked at her ,she removed her ear plugs and looked at him.
Hey Maan ,you do you listen to music?
Geet...Of Course!! I do listen.
Ohh..that's nice.
What's your favourite genre ??
So specific genre but I love to listen soft songs ,instrumental music and rock bands.
Oh...good..good...nice choice!
So what are you listening to.
She smiled..Chamkila!
What??? Who??
Areh Chamkila..he is a Punjabi singer..ek dam dhamaka..I listen to his songs.
Eminem pata hai??
Ofcourse !! He replied as if it was quite obvious .
Yeh lo...Eminem pata hai..but Chamkila nahi pata..wah ji wah!!
Maan rolled his eyes..Whatever!!
Maan..!! What was the need to ask her about her choice, I should not even wonder if she listens to the Truck Driver's loud songs.
She was happily enjoying her songs ,Maan didn't dare to talk to her or ask questions next time.
HE continued looking outside the window.
The bus was stopped for some time.
Geet got excited and asked Maan to come down with her.
Since they both came together he had no other option but to accompany her.
They both had a parantha and Geet spoke continuously.
Maan ...you know what I'm going to that place after a long time.
Then the roads were not good ,but now everything has developed !!
It's nice na...I love dhaba's..their food is just so delicious.
Garma garam...shahi paneer ke saath ghee ke paranthe khane ka maza hi kuch aur hai!!
Let's try Dal bhaati ,churma.
She kept blabbering continuously which was irritating Maan.
Ho gaya??!!
Ab chalein..varna the conductor will throw our bags !!
Maan waha dekho!!
What??
I guess there's some celebration happening there.
Geet pointed towards a group of people who were beating their dholak's and playing with some bamboo sticks.
Let's go there na.
Geet...Let's go and sit in the bus!!
Maan why do you always stay angry ?? For once just go there na..Nothing will happen!
Geet took Maan to their place.
Few people with their traditional attire were singing songs ,playing music with their steel vessels and sticks and the music came out to be wonderful.
Geet talked to them and asked about their traditions.
Later ,even she took part in the celebrations.
She tapped her feet to their beats. She danced completely enjoying the music and the ambience that was created.
She slightly lifted her long skirt and danced on her toes .
Slowly slowly even Maan started to enjoy the music and started to tap his foot.
It was fun.
But it didn't last for long as soon as Maan realised something and went to the place where the bus was stoped ,Maan realised that the bus left their bags and went away.
Maan got extremely angry ,he rushed towards Geet and called her ,he took her to a corner where the loud music would not enter their ears.
Geet...see what happened ,I told you that we should not waste time ,see what happened ,he literally shouted.
I'm so sorry Maan , Geet said in a low tone.
Sorry!! Geet ...do you even know how important it is for me to attend the evening's conference.
Here you were dancing and I left my bus!!
I'm sorry na maan and It's ok..Tumhi dekho ,you can always watch the repeated telecast of the conferece but we rarely get to see such things ,we can even learn a lot from these things..see their beleifs , how everything is inter-related to ...
Stop it Geet!!
you have enjoyed na , now pick up your bags ,we are gonna leave this place and search for some other way to reach there .
Why do you get so angry, she cribbed and went to pick her bags.
Is she crazy!! It hardly matters for her!! Because of her I had to miss the bus.
Maan...no..no The Maan Singh Khurana was fuming in anger ,no-one ever dares to mess up with him , first he had to go in the bus and now he missed it too and he might miss an important conference.
She picked up and slowly walked with him ,she looked around her ,she walked and walked with him .
Suddenly her eyes caught something and she quickly tapped Maan's shoulder.
Maan , let's ask lift from him.
That lorry??
Haan...bilkul!!!
No..!!
Maan please!!
Chalo.
But Geet a lorry??!!
Kuch nahi hota.
They both sat on the top . Maan sat quietly but Geet was thoroughly enjoying her journey.
Maan...why do get angry so quickly...I pity your employees!!
She giggled.
While travelling she saw mago trees.
WOW Mangoes..she shouted..I love them.
Maan gave no response.
Haila..isme bhi chup...yeh le..yeh kya baat hoti hai!!
Geet heard a song that the truck driver was playing..Geet jumped in excitement!
I love this song!!
Tumhe yeh gaana bhi pasand hai??!! It was a loud ,crazy song
Of course..I love this ...it's rapchik!!
Rapchik?? Maan repeated.
Ek dum..full on..Geet replied.
She took out some bamboo sticks from the bag and tried to make music out of them.
Geet..!! What are you doing???
I brought these bamboo sticks , let's try na..the created some real foot tapping beats..why not us!!
Geet !! Kya kar rho ho??!! It's not possible for us to create music out of this...please stop it ..it's irritating!!
Maan..let's try na...
Geet tapped and started to hum a song.
Geet was lost in her own tunes , Maan couldn't understand her behaviour ,nor she was over friendly nothing ,she was mast in her ownself.
They finally reached their destination .
Geet took her bags .
Geet..he called her.
Aj..aj..aj
Aj kya??
Aj raat ko dinner saath mein kare?? If you don't mind?
It was may be the first time Maan Signh Khurana asked a girl for dinner. There was something in her that made him do this never-done-task. She irritated her but still he loved the way she irritated him.
He waited for an answer.
He mouth was wide open..
What I'm I listening?? S...sure..!!
I will raat ko..
Is dhabe pe..You like dhaba ka khana na.
She smiled lovingly . Sure Maan.
Maan soon reached the guest house and got ready for the conference.
Her words brought a smile on his face.
He was dressed in his formal wear .
He entered the room and greeted others with a smile on his face .
He got to know that today there's a special talk by a very young Social Scientist . That person has reached heights in a very young age . All were eager to see that young and successful one.
Just then a girl entered dressed in a black formal attire with her hair neatly done ,left open ,with specs .
Maan looked at that girl.
GEET!!
There she is Dr.. Geet Handa...Maan listened someone uttering this.
Very famous persons who were attending the conference went to her and greeted her ,she shook hands with everyone with a warm smile on her face.
The same smile that she had while talking to that group of people earlier this day.
She shook hands with everyone with the same lovely smile.
Her eyes finally fell on him.
She smiled and a person who was standing with her brought her to Maan.
Ms. Geet he is Mr. Maan Khurana
Mr. Maan and she is Dr. Geet the most awaited guest ,he smiled.
She smiled and extended her hands towards him.
Hello Mr. Khurana said Geet with a perfect elegance and perfect attitude.
Maan was dumbstruck...her words echoed in his mind!!
Chamkila!! I love his songs..tum nahi pata??
,you can always watch the repeated telecast of the conferece
I brought these bamboo sticks , let's try na..
Mr Khurana..hello ..she repeated.
Maan shook his hands.
This girl is beyond my understanding.
Morning whom he saw was a complete different girl , he nver imagined that the silly girl is a successful social scientist.
Excuse me...the other person went to talk to another person
She came closer to him .
Geet ,you never told me..and I don't believe...
Maan bi his tongue after he said the words that he doesn't believe.
I..I.m sorry Geet.
No No Maan..It's completely alright.
She giggled.
Geet frankly speaking I never thought...I mean..I never
Why Maan..is there any rule that of you are successful you have to set barriers for yourself?? I personally don't believe in the league thingy. ..Everything around you is fun and everyone around you is unique ,I never miss a chance to mix with them...Every encounter teaches me something ,she smiled.
Maan stood there and smiled.
He attended the seminar.
Geet was simply superb in her speech ,she kept her points in such interesting and humourous way.
Everyone enjoyed ,there was one single person who didn't appreciate her.
She was soon gathered b people.
He wanted to go near her and apprecialte her but it wasn't that easy.
He left the hall ,removed her wiast coat ,loosened his tie and sat near the dhaba.
He waited for her but he knew that it's not going to be easy for her to come here to have dinner with him...Everyone was so excited to meet her and talk to her. Afterall she is THE Geet Handa.
He was a little bit disappointed . She thought about her.
Mere bina hi khaana khane ka iraada hai kya??
Invite kiya..aur wait bhi nhi kiya??
He turned back to look at her.
Very bad ...Mr Khurana ..she quickly adjusted herself on a bench opposite to his.
He looked at her and smiled.
He always saw people , he himself.. who create a list of do's , talking to specific ones , creating an invisible line, but what he today saw was the broad mindedness of her , she has no restrictions for herself , no created barriers , she opens her arms wide and enjoys the life of the world. No set o f rules for her.
I'm sorry Geet...mujhe laga ki..you are busy so you'll not be coming.
Maan..tum bhi na..areh kaise nahi aati..woh kehte hai na...filmo mein
Vaada kia hai...nibhaana to padega hi...wah wah wah wah..kya dialogue hai!!
Kya baat hai. She winked and they both laughed at her dramebaazi.
Areh..yeh kya??
What happened??
See here!!
Where??
Maan Singh Khurana's face!!
He is smiling!!
Oh my God..I should click a photograph and show this to your staff and all those ones who are hell scared of you.
Geet..please
Maan..It's a rare sight..let me click...
Geet's gestures made Maan laugh again.
Ah..perfect.
This suits you Mr. Maan..you must try it more often.
She smiled.
I guess I need to some-one like you to help me in making this a habit .
He smiled at her.
************
So this as the OS...I know...I know..it's sort of stupid and crazy but I wrote the half of it ,months ago and completed this half today š
And haan this is not so filmy š
I have a personal experience but It was ulta..I once met a highly intellectual person , whenever I used to meet him ,I used to speak very little thinking that my words would seem stupid but š once I got to know how bindaas he is!!
It made me realize that such people not only believe in the broad concepts but they respect everone ,they have no superiority feeling in them ,they are so friendly .
This piece is just inspired from that. š
