by Aditi

Scene starts with some wedding atmosphere. A Typical punjabi atmosphere is shown.People flying kites and making floral arrangements and all that basically having a gala of time .beji is shown flying kites so enthusiatically and chandini is shown flying kites disguising herself as a boy and then she is shown removing all her boy's accessories and coming out like a typical punjabi girl (u can imagine a film for her introduction)

Bridegroom scolds chandini for disguising herself as a man and flfying kites.she talks about her sister all the time .she tells her jeeju that manisha who is her sister is quite beautiful and all that and also that she has won a beauty contest in 3rd place.

beeji applies oil to chandini's hair and they have a conversation abt manisha that she is quite beautiful n all that.

chandini's mom asks her dad to bring manisha from the station n that bridegroom ppl will come at 4pm.and he leaves to the station but discovers that train is late by 3 hrs and they seem worried abt it.

All the ppl are shown dancing .Chandini also dances and in the middle of it she listens to a phone call and she runs and picks it up and she listens to her sister's voice
she tells chandini that she is not interested in the marriage and she wont to jalander ever becoz that would shatter her dreams.chandini is shocked listening to this and she tries her best to convince her sis...but all her efforts turns futile...manisha cuts the line in the midddle of the conversation..

Nov. 15 2005 by Aditi

Chandini is very upset after she heard what her sister said n asks all to leave her alone.Her mom asks her to tell the reason n chandini tells that train will never come and runs to bring her dad from station.She meets her dad in between who is returning back and chandini tells her dad that matter is serious and that it should be dealt properly.and she tells him abt manisha that she is not interested in the marriage.Bridegroom side ppl get upset that manisha is not to be seen and chandini's dad tells that he lost his daughter.chandini and her mom try to call manisha but it turns futile.bridegroom comes in between n tells them that he is not interested to marry anymore and it doesnt make any difference now.

All accuse manisha's parents for what has been done n accuse them that they dont know how to live upto the promises that they have made.bridegroom(i couldnt make out his name exactly..sounded something like kilafat...me not sure)meets chandini alone and tells her that he wants to marry her and put an end to all the differences that have arisen due to manisha and seeks her hand.After deep thought,she agrees to his proposal and puts her hand fwd and he is quite happy to hear that from her.

They exchange rings very next minute and both the families are happy yet again and begin to dance once again as if nothing has happened.Chandini picks up her sister's phone and tell her that her engagement is over and manisha seems shocked hearing it.Chandini tells her that this wouldnt have happened if she came to jalander.Manisha tells her that she doesnt know what dreams are becoz she hasnt been to mumbai.She tells chandini that dreams are realized only if they came to mumbai and that chandini doesnt know anything.Chandini is lost in thought and tells her biji that she wants to go to mumbai before her marriage to understand what her sister's dreams are.biji is shocked hearing this.but chandini tells her that she will go n episode ends there.(background score is very good here)

Chandni and Beeji are taking a walk in the park discussing about Aditya. Chandni notices an old man being made fun of by a group of children. She warns the children. The old man is impressed with Chandni and they get talking. She mentions about her experience of going to India Calling for an interview.

Once again, Chandni went for an interview to India Calling and is able to impress the external panel in her formal interview.

Aditya walks in, on hearing a positive response from the panel, he loses his temper. He says there's one last test that Chandni will need to pass. She has to take a call in the hub, and crack a deal. Chandni finds herself sitting in the hub, ready to take an incoming call from LA.

Chandni speaks to him in Punjabi and as fate would have it the caller turns out to be a Punjabi who instantly turns nostalgic on hearing his mother tongue. The deal is cracked. Dadaji enters the hub area, clapping. Chandni thanks Dadaji for his support. And as she is about to leave Indian Calling, Kamini walks in.

Next adi tells his friend that he wont go to party cuz he has some important work at india calling and his bhabhi listens and inquires about it but adi says he will tell her when time will come and he leaves....but she tells that NO she wont let anybody interfiere in india calling...

Next birji-chandani emotional scene.....where birji asks chand to eat but she says she's sleepy...also asks that she knows that she didnt find anything about manisha, so birji suggest that they should take help from police but chand disagrees and tells her that that might be harmful for manisha.....and asks chand if everything is okay at work...chand says she has one mushkil which is adi....and its never going away....

Next, chandani is walking to work and adi is driving his car slowly and drives besides her and hunks the horn but chandani doesnt pay attention...and phone rings and adi starts talking to the person- a girl. he talks how smalll village people and all...but finally chand reaches to work and she goes in faster....and adi's in car with his attitude- laughing...

Next, chand is attending a call and the guy on other hand doesnt understand what chand is saying so chand changes her accent and tries to talk to her..in between she speak punjabi words too.....and the guy hangs up....then chand notices her other co-workers talking in english and listens them and thi8nks about all of them....and she does namaskar to computer and she attends next call and speaks to him in us accent and the guy gets angry and hangs up....and adi comes and makes fun at her and chand is almost crying and she thinks of all the events including...all adi incidents and bhabhi....she takes off headphones and she is upset...

Well ……………….as theer was no update for today …..i thought to do the honour as I have seen the episode yesterday ………so heer it goes

Well I dun remember where it starts and where it ends but will give the brief update of whatever I know.

Chandini cums back to her house and goes to sleep. Biji tells chandini tht she is going out to make arrangements for food. She opens the door and she sees a female. Biji screams and coz of tht chandini gets up. Tht female says tht she is a dabbe waali and has a great network to provide khana. Biji gets impressed. Tht dabbawali(sorry dun remember the name) introduces them with her son who muss be around 15 -16 yrs old. He looks at chandini in different manner and he gets a crush over chandini ( tht scene was really funny ……..u cud have seen tht boyz face ). The shake hands.

Taison (I think thts his name) cums to meet adi to give all the details of chandini which he had asked for. He meets adi's bhabhi and she asks him tht wat the hell he was doing here. Taison doesent speak anything and she takes the file from his hand and tell him to leave.

Chandini is in her chawl where she starts playing kabbaddi with children. Adi cums there and challenges her to win in kabbadi. Tht boy (dabbawali's son) tells chandini to accept tht challenge as she is the best. Chandini accepts. Adi smiles and goes. Biji cums there and tells chandini tht this is no more a game …..its now their jalandar's shaan.
Chandini says …tht she needs a team now.

She goes to India calling and sees tht nobody in India calling will help her out.

Adi tells this to his frends. His friends decides tht they will definitely defeat chandini this time. Adi tries to find the info on net but he realizes tht he shud have some ustaad to teach him. Adi's friend gives him the idea to cheat but adi denies.
Adi then goes to his grand father and ask for help. His grandpa teaches him the basics but while playing he gets tired. Adi gets really pissed off and then they is a new entry (I think he must be his bro)
Thts it guys

Hi guys! This is Dipi.
Chandni is trying her best to make a team. But nobody at India Calling agrees to be on her side. Prashant offers to be part of her team but then that makes just two players! Aditya, on the other side, has managed to get someone teach him the tricks of the game.

Vishesh (his brother who has just returned from abroad) is extremely enthusiastic to be a part of what he thinks is a relationship building exercise. Whose side is goddess Fate on? We will have to wait till the match actually begins!
(I also wanted toadd that someone plz update thev videos as & when possible.)Guys, lets ROCK this forum!

14th Dec. 2005

Goal: 48 hours- one match to win. One deal to crack. Who wins? Chandni or time?

Scene one:

Someone at India calling just cracks a deal and announces it to everyone. Everyone is very happy. Chandni feels sad and starts thinking that always in life she was the winner. Even in school and college she was always in top three, then why at India calling she can never win.

With determination, she picks up the phone and calls a Mrs. Mathews in USA. Trying to speak to her in an accent, chandni is unable to convince the lady to buy her products and the lady bangs the phone down. Chandni is very disappointed.

Scene two:

Kamini is discussin India calling's progress with mr Mathur. She convinces him that India calling is setting new records of Profit. As she keeps the phone down, Adi comes in. He tells her that India calling is going to break record of Loss. She is confused and he tells her about Chandni concentrating on a Kabaddi match instead of her work. Kamini gets very angry and calls Chandni in.

Chandni comes in and Kamini asks her how many deals she has cracked since she started working. Chandni has no reply and starts stammering. Kamini gets angry and gives Chandni an ultimatum. She asks her to crack a deal in 48 hours or else Chandni will have to leave India calling.

Scene three:

Chandni is very sad and is disappointed. She wonders how she will practice for the match and crack the deal. Prashant comes to her and tells her that Kamini's ultimatum is because of Adi. Chandni turns and Adi is standing behind her. Chandni gets really angry and says loudly to prashant that she will not only crack the deal but also win the match- all in 48 hours.

Scene four:

Adi is asking Dadaji for tips on how to win. Dadaji tells him that Adi's team is very overconfident and needs to work on somethings. He calls all the team members and tells them on what they need to work. Vishesh needs to go out of town and tells adi and his team that he wont be able to practice, and advises adi to not underestimate the opponent.

Scene five:

Chandni goes to her chawl the next morning, and Vidya's husband Prem's stomach is not fien. Chandni makes a kada for him and when she brings it to Vidhya, she tells Chandni to ask Prem to let her play in the kabaddi match. Chandni says no, but beeji comes in and tells chandni she will ask Prem. Beeji asks prem and he says that not only Vidhya but he will also play for Chandni's team.

untill next wednesday- this is me charm signing off.

Dec. 20

Chandni is shocked after discovering that Prashant has left her team to join Aditya's. Surprisingly Beeji comes to her aid, by volunteering to complete the team. But then bad luck again as Beeji has badly injured her foot. More so, the landlord of the Chawl comes in and demands a fee for using his premises. Seems like the big bad world of Mumbai is now revealing itself to Chandni. Will she survive it?

Update Dec 21st

Beeji has decided not to reveal her wounded foot to Chandni and thereby ensures the team is not broken. She also manages to convince the landlord that the match will publicize his chawl to the rich and the famous coming to play there! Things have fallen in place for Chandni's team. And the final day is here as well!

The two teams get ready in high spirits for the match. So time for a match close to our hearts - Kabaddi!

The show starts out with the landlord of Chadni's chawl refusing to let the match take place for free. Everyone's spirits are highly dampened and are worried about the match. The landlord asks for 5000 rupees. The members of the team are worried that they will have to pay the money. Prem tells chandni to ask Adi and his team to pay, but Chandni says that since they are coming to our chawl to play, all the expenses will be borne by us.

Beeji manages to convince the landlord by saying that all rich kids will play the match, thereby bringing glory and name to the chawl and its people. The landlord is very excited and offers a bigger ground for playing the match.

The day of match arrives and Dadaji is putting tilak for everyone in Adi's team. Adi asks why he's doing that, and vishesh comes and tell them that the tika puts all the concentration in the centre and it gives confidence. He promises Adi that he will be there for the macth. Dadaji asks Kamini to be there too, but Kamini says if there is nothing better for her to do then she will be there.

Meanwhile Chandni's team is all ready for the match. Beeji is putting tika for everyone and boosts their moral. seeing the haldi on Beeji's feet Chandni asks her what happened. Beeji lies and says that some haldi from vidya's house fell on her leg. Chandni nods and is excited about the match. Jo bole so nihaal, sasriyakaal.

Adi and his team reach the venue and Adi's frnds are suspicious of the sudden change in ground. Adi says it doesn't matter since they are only going to win.

The match begins with dadaji as the referee, and the landlord doing commentary. Match moments ensue, with adi loosing out on one player and chandni two. Vidya gets hurt while trying to run behind prashant.

Prashant's turn comes and adi tells him that if prashant doesn't out anyone he will loose his job. Prashant thereby out's vidya. Adi is very happy and is confident he will win, whereas dadaji looks concerned.



Next episode: Beeji goes for her turn, but her injured leg messes up. And finally , chandni and Adi battle it out. Adi tells his team member to let him handle chandni. Chandni outs him and is about to run away when Adi catches her hand and she is stuck mid air , trying to reach the line. What will happen? Your guess is as good as mine.

Dec. 22 by viduraju

The episode opens with Adi urging his teammates to finish the match fast. Varun, Adi's friend volunteers and comes over to Chandni's side of the court. Beeji catches hold of his ponytail and Varun is out!

Beeji tells Chandini that she will go next. Chandini is worried and asks Beeji to just go and come back safely. It doesn't matter if she makes any player out or not, but Beeji confidently tells Chandini that while she is in the other court, she might as well get a player out. But disaster strikes when Beeji's foot slips. Poor Beeji! Even with Adi's team surrounding her, she tries to limp back. You can see the blood on her feet and the pain in her eyes, but loyal and brave Beeji continues for the sake of her beloved Chandini. But alas, she cannot and drops to the ground. Vidya shouts to Chandini about the real state of Beeji's foot. Chandini is very worried and runs to Beeji.

Mukund then tells Chandini that he will go and get Aditya out. Aditya remembers how Mukund had made him fall in the previous episode. In revenge, he puts his foot forward, Mukund falls down and is hurt. His mother is worried and asks him to retire. He doesn't want to becoz of Chandini, but Chandini tells him to go as he is badly hit.

By this time, Vishesh ( Adi's bro ) comes and encourages Adi to go to the opposite court. Adi goes and manages to come back without being caught.

Now only Romeo and Chandini are left. Chandini decides to go. She goes and touches Adi, but before she can come back, Adi catches hold of her hand tightly. The whole stadium watches with bated breath. Prashant is praying that Chandini wins and beats Adi. Chandini struggles to reach her hand forward to touch the line. She turns once to look at Adi and then tries again. But then she jerks her hand and falls down. ADI'S TEAM HAS WON!

Chandini rushes to Beeji, puts her arms around her. Beeji consoles Chandini. Dadaji is disappointed. Vishesh admires Chandini's approach towards the game. Chandini forces Beeji to go to the hospital and they are walking when they pass Prashanth. They just ignore him and continue walking. Adi blocks their path and taunts Chandini that 'Hisab' is barabar between them and now she should never make the mistake of crossing his path. He also tells her that he will confirm her Jalandhar ticket as he is sure she will not crack the deal.

An overjoyed Adi asks his teammates to celebrate the victory that night in his house, but doesn't invite Prashanth. That evening, everyone is in high spirits dancing. Kamini is happy at their victory and joins in the dancing. Dadaji is upset and refuses to take part in the celebrations. Vishesh also comes, but Adi can sense his mood is not in the party and asks him for the reason. Vishesh tells him, " are you brave enough to listen to the truth. The truth is that Chandini has won, even though she has lost. My esteem of her has really gone up high. If she wanted, she could have crossed the court safely, but she didn't want you ( Adi ) to look bad in front of everyone because she saw how much it meant to him. Saying this he leaves and Adi is left dumbstruck!

Hey people, thank you so much for all the positive feedback on the last update. I really appreciate it. Hopefully I will continue to do a satisfactory job. I must warn you beforehand. I am a person who writes everything in too much detail. Hope you guys don't get bored to death!

The episode opens with Chandini applying a bandage to Beeji's foot while she is sleeping. She is replaying the events of the kabbadi match in her mind and silently cursing herself for deliberately losing. She thinks of Vidya falling and hurting her arm, Beeji limping in pain and Mukund falling down. She says to herself that she was selfish. Her ulterior motive for joining India calling was to find her Mini didi and she was scared that if she wins the match, Adi will make life in India Calling a living hell for her. Thinking of all this, she is shedding tears. Beeji wakes up and is trying to console her saying it is ok if she lost. Chandini tells her that, 'no Beeji, God knows I did a very unfair thing. My teammates worked so hard and I had to lose the match because I didn't want to lose my job. Now I can't face anyone. She is crying on Beeji's shoulder when Prem ( Vidya's husband ) cuts into the conversation. He is furious with Chandini and tells her that my foolish wife Vidya played her heart out for this match and now she has even bought you food. This is what you do in return. In anger, he leaves the room. Chandini and Beeji runs after him. Prem shouts to Vidya ( everybody else in the chawl come out of their houses )that from now on you don't have to do anything for Chandini. She is just a selfish girl who has used us all. Chandini pleads with him to listen to her, but he just goes on. He tells Chandini that everybody got hurt, that he took a day off from work just to play in the match and Beeji hurt her foot badly before the match, but still we all played for you. Mukund's mother asks what the fuss is all about. Chandini tells her that it is all my fault. I lost the match deliberately because I didn't want to lose my job. You guys don't know what sort of trouble I have had to face in the office because of Adi. If I had won the match, then Adi wouldn't have tolerated it and he would kick me out. Vidya is of the opinion that they should all teach him a lesson. Mukund suggests that he take one or two people and go and beat up Adi. Chandini thanks him and tells him that is not necessary. Anyway if she doesnt crack the deal by today, she will be out. With folded handed, she says sorry to everybody in the chawl and leaves crying.

Next scene, she enters the office slowly, prays to Matharani and answers a call, but is unable to crack the deal. One of the office boys comes and tells her that she is wanted by Kamini maam and warns her that the atmosphere is garam.

Kamini is sitting in her office with Adi in front of her reading a magazine. She is firing someone on the phone when Chandini walks in. Kamini tells Chandini that when will you small town girls realize that just by coming to big cities, your pride will go up. See what happened in the Kabaddi match. You lost badly. She then throws an envelope on the desk and informs Chandini that it is her resignation letter. If she doesn't crack a deal by that day, she should sign on the papers and never ever show her face in India calling. Seeing Chandini's crest fallen face, she says don't do all this drama. We are not paying you in India calling to do gupshup and drink coffee in the canteen. She tells Chandini to get out after taking her letter.

In tears, Chandini comes back to her desk. She places the letter in front of the Matharani idol and tells her that " I started my journey from Jalandhar to Bombay by telling your name. Now I have placed this letter at your feet. Now only you can decide my destiny." She wipes her tears and puts on her headphones. She takes the next call. Adi is passing by and he stops to listen. The caller is a guy and he starts flirting with Chandini asking her if her name is Catty or Cathy and teasingly asks her to make up her mind. Chandini then thinks to herself that deal or no deal, she is not Cathy, but Chandini. She says hello and the man asks her if she made up her mind. Chandini says that yes I have made my choice, I am not Cathy but Chandini. Everybody who is listening is stunned, including Adi. Smitha says from the back, have you gone mad. Varun comes up to her and says that she should not reveal her name as it is against the rules. The caller asks if Chandini is an Indian and she says yes. Chandini continues and says, My parents gave me my name and I am proud of my culture ( the strains of Saare Jahan Se Acchha is playing in the background! ) and I respect your culture too. The man is pleased with her patriotic attitutude and asks her for the price of the product. CHANDINI HAS CRACKED THE DEAL! The title song plays as she jumps up and down in sheer happiness and dances all around the place when she catches sight of Adi. She just smiles and turns her head away. Adi continues staring at her and is thinking of what his brother told him that Chandini lost the match deliberately because she didn't want him to look bad in front of everyone. Chandini prays to the idol and smiles.

End of episode:

Hope you guys haven't already fallen asleep on your seats already! Just saw the episode so the events are still fresh in my mind.

Preview for tomorrow's episode.

Prashanth congratulates Chandini, but she ignores him and walks past him. Some girl ( I think her name is Ami because another member of this group mentioned her ) is sitting with Varun and Smitha and she asks Chandini to call Kamini. I think maybe this girl will be Chandini's friend. Chandini happily informs that she has cracked the deal to a stunned Kamini. Then they also show a canteen scene where Chandini and Adi are looking at each other.

It's a wild guess. But I think this new girl is related to Kamini ( probably her younger sister or something ) and Kamini has designs of getting her hooked up with Adi. She and Chandini become friends. But Adi falls in love with Chandini and it will ultimately become a triangle. Just a thought. What do you say guys????

OH MY GOD! This was the episode of all episodes. Seriously it should be called the baap of episodes. For those of you who don't have access to Star one, I seriously pity you. I sincerely pray that someone can post the video of this episode, so I can save it and replay it over and over and over again!

I swear I was a zombie the whole time, I couldn't take my eyes off the TV screen. Well here it comes guys.

Chandini is happily walking when she meets Prashanth who congratulates her and says great job chandini. But she ignores him and walks past him.

She then goes to Kamini maam's room with the same lovely smile on her face and puts down the resignation letter on the desk. Kamini, thinking she hasn't cracked the deal, sarcastically asks her, kya tumhara call centre ka bhoot utar gaya hai ( has your bhoot of call centre come down ). Chandini says, I have done it maam. I have cracked the deal. Kamini is stunned and glares at her with an angry face. She says My foot. Don't think you have done India calling a favour by cracking this deal. Now get back to work. Chandini smiles at her, says thank you maam and walks out of the room.

Tyson ( who witnessed Chandini cracking the deal ) comes inside the room and tells Kamini. How Chandini cracked the deal is very interesting and I can tell you about it.

Next we see the back profile of a girl dressed in a smart black slinky dress to her knees who comes sashaying into the office. Smitha is excited to see her and shouts out, Hi Amy. This is Amy, or rather Esha Manchandani, the new character. Varun also comes up to her and asks her how her trip to Bangkok was. Amy replies it was just great. She proceeds to tell the two how she did nakhras on the plane and therefore they gave her a free stopover trip to Dubai. The others are impressed with her story.

Amy then catches sight of Chandini who is walking dazed with a happy smile on her face. Curious she asks Smitha who she is. Smitha says it is the new recruit, Chandini. Amy says, oh it is that Chandini whom you talked about on the phone. I cannot believe that she is the one to take panga with Adi. Smitha then tells Amy that she is lucky she was out of town, otherwise even she would have been dragged into the kabbadi match. But Amy is impressed with Chandini's attitude. Amy then decides to play a prank on Chandini. In a haughty tone, she calls Chandini. Confused, Chandini comes up. Amy asks her who she is. Chandini tells her name, saying she just joined last week and puts out her hand. Amy ignores it and tells her, oh you are that Chandini jisne poore India calling ko hila diya hai. She then commands Chandini. Go and call Kamini. Tell her it is Amy calling. Chandini is surprised. Varun then tells her that Amy is the boss of Kamini maam. She was out on vacation therefore you havent seen her. Chandini then tells her that she will go and turns her back when the other 3 burst out laughing and she comes to a stop. Amy then says they were having fun and puts out her hand in friendship. Chandini takes it.

Just then Kamini storms into the room. She is furious with Chandini for breaking the rules of India calling and revealing her name. She tells Chandini that you have to leave your poor chawl attitude behind and assume the character of Cathy. I had made the rules very clear on the first day itself. Adi's voice then cuts into the conversation. He is standing with Vishesh and says, Babs, Chandini is right in what she did. Everybody stares at him stunned. He continues and says that Chandini was cool in using her real name. She taught us to be proud that we are Indians. Kamini angrily retorts that the rules were made by her and nobody should interfere in them. Adi stares at her surprised when Vishesh says, Relax Kamini. Adi is a part of India Calling and he should be allowed to voice his opinion. He congratulates Chandini for a good job and tells that whatever pleases the client, is acceptable. He then proceeds to change the rules and announces that everybody should from now on use their own names. He asks Tyson to post a notice putting this rule to effect. Kamini in anger walks out of the room.

Then ADI WALKS UP TO CHANDINI AND SAYS, Congrats Chandini. I know you delibrately lost the match. Therefore the congrats should go to the deserving person. Chandini just looks at him and is turning away when he looks at her with his puppy dog expression ( I swooned girls, I swear! ) and says, I am sorry Chandini for whatever I have done. And walks away. Varun, Smitha, Amy and Chandini are staring in shock.

Next scene opens in the canteen. The 3 girls ( Amy, Smitha and Chandini are ordering their food ) when Amy asks the waiter to put it on credit. Chandini tells her the same goes on in the lala shop in Jalandhar. Amy informs her that the same credit system works, whether in Jalandhar or Mumbai. Chandini then catches sight of Amy's stylish handset and wishes that even she had a personal phone so that she could speak to her Beeji whenever she wanted. Amy lets her use her phone, but when Chandini dials it, the operator's voice comes saying that the phone is disconnected due to non payment of bills. She tells it to Amy, but chalu Amy calls customer service and tells them that she has paid the money that morning by cheque. She takes out a letter and proceeds to tell the pin number of a city as the cheque number! Chandini and Smitha are staring at her surprised. Chandini then remarks that Amy goes abroad on holidays, wears designer clothes and shoes and wonders at the salary that Amy might be earning. Amy then tells Chandini that it is not the number of zeroes on the salary, but the attitude which counts and tells that even I can teach you.

She then asks Chandini to go and order something to eat, otherwise she has to stay hungry the whole night. Chandini goes up to the counter and is reaching for a plate when simultaneously another hand reaches for it. It belongs to Adi! Both are staring at each other and holding the plate together. Adi smiles at Chandini ( I swear girls, his smile will kill me one day! ) and lets go of the plate! Chandini just looks at him and walks back to her seat. Varun then teasingly tells Adi, oh what a qurbani! Adi says, Dude I'm trying.

Then a girl holding a platter of christmas cakes comes up to Adi and Varun wishing them a merry christmas. She then goes to Chandini, Smitha and Amy and offers them the cakes singing Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells. Chandini then sings with her the rest of the song and then the everybody in the canteen joins in. Adi turns around at the sound of Chandini singing happily and smiles. Smitha is staring at Chandini with a funny look when Chandini teasingly tells her that even in Jalandhar they sing Christmas carols.

Varun then has a suggestion that everybody play Dum sherades. Amy wants it to be boys versus girls. Chandini and Adi are sitting on opposite sides and Adi is going on smiling at her ( my poor heart! ). The first one is Amy and the girls guess correctly. Then it is Varun's turn and his team guesses the correct answer which is Bluffmaster. Then Adi whispers something to Varun who whispers to Amy. Amy enacts the film and Chandini correctly guesses it as 'Mujhse Dosti karoge!' She shyly looks at Adi who is smiling at her teasingly. Then she whispers a film to Varun and his team guesses it as Kal Ho Na Ho. Tyson then interrupts the Dum sherades saying he has an important news which he has to announce on behalf of Vishesh. Everbody is surprised at the announcement.

End of episode: I think this turned out to be more of a book than an update! But I was really happy to see everybody getting on so well with each other.

Preview of next episode: Vishesh tells everybody that they have to sell 1000 holiday packages in a week. Some say it is impossible but Vishesh says that impossible really means ( I m possible ). He then tells that there will be 2 team leaders selected for this project.

It is my wild guess, but who knows the team leaders could be Chandini and Adi which will get them both to interact on a closer level! What say guys.

28th Dec. 2005

Everyone is gathered round waiting for Vishesh to make his big announcement. Vishesh comes with two files in his hands and has a big smile on his face. Everyone is curious about what the big news is. Vishesh asks who knows the name of Sundance.

Prashant replies and says that its a pharma company. Vishesh says thats right and now sundace wants to diversify into tourism industry and is launching a resort next to Mahableshwar. Everyone breaks into murmurs.

Vishesh's quite's them down and tells them that sundance has come to India calling with a lucrative offer. They have to sell One thousand holiday packages in one week. He says that everyone will have to forget sleep and personal life for all this while and concentrate only on work.

Somebody asks why someone would want to come to India. Chandni replies by saying that tourists come any ways and if they offer the touriste a modern holiday along with India's tradition then they would come either ways. Vishesh is very happy with her answer.

He says that he is going to divide the employee's into two teams headed by team leaders. Smitha thinks chandni will be one of the team leaders and Varun thinks Prashant will be the other.

However, Vishesh announces Prashant and Adi's name. Everyone is shocked and Adi is confused. Vishesh gives a file to Adi, but Adi turns and goes away. Smiling, he gives the other file to Prashant and says that it contains all the details.

Vishesh then goes to his office. Adi comes there and says that he cannot accept the challenge. He asks Vishesh what he thought when he gave Adi the project. He says that he has an important meeting in the evening. Vishesh asks him whether its a meeting or a date. Adi says that there is no difference between either.

Vishesh laughs and tells Adi that if he wants to prove to the world that Adi really rocks, he will accept the challenge. Adi is confused and goes away from Vishesh's office.

Annie, Varun, Smitha and chandni are sitting on their desks and discussing the challenge. Varun says that considering they have to crack 1000 deals they will have to make 9 calls in a hour and crack 70 deals at the end of a day. Chandni is not worried and says that they'll be able to sell the packages. She says that once in Jalandhar the entire village had rebuilt a fallen wall in one night.

Varun imitates Dharmendra and says that to sell so many packages they will have to work very hard. And tells Chandni that this isn't Jalandhar.

Meanwhile, Adi is talking to himself. He thinks that he will have to prove to Vishesh that he does rock. He can't let anyone think that he cannot do something. He goes to Vishesh's office again and says that he accepts the challenge.

In the other corner of the cafe, Smitha, Chandni and Amie, are sitting and discussing make-up. Amie shows Chandni a 1500 ka eye liner and Chandni says that a man in her village ran his house in 1500 rupees. She tells Amie that she'll get Beeji's made kajal for her the next day. They are about to leave when Varun comes and sits with them. He asks all three girls which team leader they will go to. Amie says Adi, and smitha says Prashant. Varun then asks Chandni, who she will chose, her old best frnd Prashant? or her new best frnd Adi?

Chandni replies that it doesn't matter, she will concentrate on her goals and work. On the other hand, Vishesh explains all details of the deal to both Adi and Prashant. He tells them that the contract was with some other call centre, but they said they wouldn't be able to sell 1000 packages. Vishesh promised Sundance that they would crack the deals. He tells them that they will have to do it.

He then turns around and asks both of them if they have selected their team members. Both Prashant and Adi reply yes. Vishesh asks them who they have selected, and both say the first name- CHANDNI. Surprised they both look at each other and Vishesh laughs.



Tommorrow: Vishesh puts all the names in a bowl and asks Adi and Prashant to remove one chit at a time.

Prashant asks Chandni why she is punishing and why she isn't talking to him.

Vishesh had another announcement to make.

Dec.29 2005

by Viduraju

Vishesh is happy that both Adi and Prashanth said Chandini's name cuz that means they are working on the same track and thinking on the same lines. He says that luck and kismat is needed by both teams and therefore he has an idea.

Next scene, everybody is working at their desks when Vishesh comes in with a glass bowl full of chits followed by Adi and Prashanth and asks for everybody's attention. He says that he will soon solve the mystery of the glass bowl and says that the two team leaders will pick up the chits one by one to select their team members. He asks Prashanth to pick first, but as Prashanth is reaching for the chit, Adi interrupts and demands to know why Prashanth should go first. He says that as they are playing by luck, they should toss a coin to see who goes first. Vishesh is open to the suggestion and so is Prashanth. Vishesh tosses a coin, Adi calls heads and Prashanth tails. Unfortunately for Adi, tails has come and it is Prashanth's turn. He picks Smitha, Adi picks Kabir, Prashanth picks Ami, Adi picks Varun and so it keeps going on. Everytime both are looking at Chandini and Chandini is waiting with bated breath. Finally it is Prashanth's turn. He picks up the chit, looks at Chandini and back at the chit and smiles. He says Chandini. Adi is disappointed and says My loss.

Chandini is speaking to Jenny the receptionist ( the girl who distributed christmas cakes ) when there a smart girl in a slinky pink dress to her knees comes talking on the phone. She is most probably talking to her boyfriend because all the time she is doing Kootchiekoo. Behind her Tyson and her driver also come. Tyson is irritated because the driver parked the car in front of the office which is forbidden. The girl asks Chandini to tell Tyson to leave her alone, but Tyson warns Chandini not to interfere. The driver tells the girl that he only did what she told him to, but the girl is irritated to be interrupted in her conversation and tells him that now he has to listen to Tyson. Tyson and the driver go out and the girl finally keeps down the phone and introduces herself to Chandini saying that she was talking to her boyfriend who is in New York. ( I'm sorry guys, I've forgotten the girl's name )

Next night Jenny is decorating the office for New Years happily singing a Konkani song Ya ya mayaya. Chandini comes in, is pleased at the decorations and asks Jenny what she is singing. Jenny tells her that it is a Konkani song about Mr. Mouse's children getting eaten up the Cat's children. Chandini wants to learn the song and Jenny is surprised. Chandini tries singing along with Jenny, but she is confused at the words. She then tells Jenny that she later she wants Jenny to teach her the whole song. She then says that she will go the canteen to get something to eat as the shift begins in 10 minutes.

In the canteen she is stopped by Prashanth who tells her that his mistake wasn't so great and also why she is not talking to him. Chandini tells him the decision to leave my team was yours and now the decision of not talking to you is mine. Prashanth says you don't know the full story of why I had to join Adi's team, but Chandini says it only means that he values his job more than his friendship. She says that if I were in your position I would choose friendship and walks away. Prashanth tells himself that Chandini you are very nice person and I just hope that you never have to stand at the crossroads where I had to stand and make the difficult decision which I had to make.

Next scene, both the team leaders are sitting in different rooms briefing their team members. Prashanth says that the USP of Sundance resorts is Ayur therapy and this should be the selling point because no other resort offers this. Smitha asks what about diet. Prashanth agrees to her suggestion and says that the healthy nutritious food offered could also be a selling point. On one hand, Prashanth is open to suggestions from all his team members, whereas Adi tells his team that all the suggestions are only from his side and nobody should interrupt. Kabir is frustrated and says under his breath, just because you pay is salary doesn't mean that you own us. Prashanth advices his teammates to be very polite to the customers, ask them 1 or 2 times and make them realize that by refusing the package, they will be refusing the best deal ever. Adi on the other hands wants his teammates to be aggressive and keep calling the callers and not keep the phone till they clinch the deal. Prashanth says that in order to achieve their targets of 500 holiday packages per team, they have to take about 8 calls in an hours. Chandini says that if they themselves believe in what they are selling, they will convince their callers about the idea too. Prashanth agrees with her. Adi on the other hand tells his teammates that they are not interested in the package, their only objective is to sell. The new girl who is also in his team interrupts and starts talking about her bf. Adi gets irritated and tells everybody to focus only on the target.

Both teams walk out their office and are assembling when Vishesh comes in and has another announcement to make, this time concerning the incentives and rewards. He says the team which sells the most packages will receive an imported car. Everybody is excited. He further goes on to say that the executive who makes the most calls in an hour will receive a expensive laptop. Everybody is getting more excited. The new girl wonders how 1 team can share the car. She thinks that they can sell the car and split the money and with her share, she can go to New York and visit her bf. Ami on the other hand is thinking that this is a way to clear all her loans ( we now know the secret of her expensive lifestyle ). Vishesh then walks out, then turns back and wishes everybody a happy new year. Everybody shouts out Happy New Year and the camera zooms in on Adi and Chandini.

Preview of Next episode.

Chandini goes up to Prashanth and says that none of their teammembers have a database. She then says that Varun's computer has it. Adi says that means that only his teammates can access the database. Chandini says that so much arrogance is not good for a person and Adi says that if any team wins, it will be mine. Then they show Chandini stepping out of a vehicle with Ami and Smitha. She is blindfolded and Ami and Smitha are taking her somewhere.

Uhoh. Just when things were going so well, everything is back to square one. Again there will be competition and bad vibes between Adi and Chand. Well sirf waqt hi batayega ki kya hone wala hai. till then this is Vidya signing off. A very happy New Year to all the forum members.

The episode opens in the chawl where Beeji is applying oil to Chandini's hair. Chandini tells Beeji that maybe they should give a police complaint regarding Mini didi becoz it is becoming increasingly difficult for her to find out any information with the deadlines and everything. She is depressed. Beeji reminds Chandini that when they first landed in Mumbai, she had wanted to give a police complaint and Chandini had refused because it was their izzat ka sawal. She also says that Manisha is very independent and reminds her of an episode in her childhood when Manisha was 12 yrs old and wanted to go to Hum Aapke Hain Koun, but father wouldn't let her so she went all by herself. And when she came back and father asked her where she went, she sweetly replied Hum Aapke Hain Koun? Beeji tells Chandini that Manisha packed up her bags and came to Mumbai alone to fulfill her dreams and therefore she will come back on her own if she feels like. Chandini promises Beeji that she will not complain any further.

Next scene in the office, Adi is checking the progress of his team members. He notices Kavitha hasn't cracked any deals and is upset. He tells his teammates that they have to crack a deal in 4 minutes. Kavitha is walking back to her desk when Varun stops her and does some acting in order to scare her, telling her to get out of his sight and also not to keep mentioning her bf all the time. He then tells Kavitha that all this is practice for an audition which he is going to attend tomorrow. Kavitha says that it was ok, but he needed to practice further.

Next scene, Prashanth is sitting in a room with his team members enocuraging them and telling them to try to relax. Smitha and Ami can't because they are too tensed. Chandini tells them that she has a method of relaxing and proceeds to close her eyes and chant Om. She tells the others to also follow it and they all close their eyes and chant. When they return back to work, Smitha is again frustrated after a call. Chandini tells her to use the method of relaxation and it works.

Kavitha is making a call and ends up speaking to a small girl who is alone in the house and she is scared becoz her parents have left her alone. Kavitha hangs up the phone when Chandini comes up to her and says that how could she do that to a scared child and tells Kavitha to ring up again. Varun comes up and tells Kavitha she shouldn't and that he will report it to Adi. Kavitha rings up and is speaking to the child when Adi comes and tells her to stop. Chandini catches hold of Kavitha's hand and tells her not to. Kavitha speaks to the child till her parents come home and then hangs up. Adi is furious because the call took 20 minutes which she could have used for making the deals. Chandini tries to reason with him saying that it was for a good cause and somethings should be done without expecting anything like how they do in Jalandhar. Adi taunts her saying we know how kind you are, but I think you are doing this on purpose to distract my team. Saying this he walks away. Kavitha is also upset and walks away. Chandini catches up with her in the hallway and asks her what the matter is. Kavitha recounts an incident in her childhood when she was 4, alone in the house and had got locked up in the bathroom. She tells Chandini how scared she was and Chandini consoles her saying she put a smile on a child's face. Kavitha is happy and hugs Chandini telling her she's a true friend.

Chandini, Ami, Smitha and Kavitha are sitting at the canteen table and they are all depressed because their new year plans got chowpat because they had to sell these packages. Ami tells that she had got invitations to a celebrity cruise party, Kavitha says she could have spent it with her bf in US, and Smitha says that she will soon have to find a corner in Andheri station becoz her landlord will kick her out. Chandini has had enough of this rona dona and she announces it is now time for some gaana waana. She starts singing, chale sabke kadam, bolo rum pum pum. Soon the 3 other join in and then the whole canteen.

Their moods brightened, the girls return back to work. However Varun is puzzled because he is not able to access any files. Nor can Kabir. Kabir says this is possible only if their computers have been affected by virus. They see that the computers of the other team is fine and both look at each other and at everyone suspiciously.

End of episode

Preview of next episode: Tension rises as everyone points fingers at one another.

4th jan 2006 by vidya

The episode opens with a troubled Vishesh telling Tyson that they install antivirus every week on their computers and therefore how could there be a virus attack. He tells Tyson to call for help immediately. Adi then enters the room and tells his brother that only his team's computers have been attacked. 2nd the other team instead of feeling sorry, is happily cracking deal after deal. Therefore it is a clear case of sabotage. But Vishesh tells him that before proper evidence, they shouldn't jump to conclusions. Adi is upset and leaves the room.

Adi has a discussion with his teammates. Kabir says that he called his friend who told him that the name of the virus is Jack in the Box. Such a sophisticated virus could not have come from outside. It must have come from one of the computers. Adi agrees with him. He rushes to Vishesh's room and tells him, the name of the virus is ........... when Vishesh who is talking on the phone swivels his chair and says Jack in the Box. Adi says right and Vishesh asks him how he knows the name of the virus. Adi says he has his resources and asks Vishesh to call for outside investigation. But Vishesh firmly says no since it is a matter of reputation for India calling. If the outsiders come to know that there is a problem with India Calling's computers inspite of all the precautions, it will be a black mark. Adi has no choice but to agree.

Varun asks the computer maintainence people how long it will take to fix the problem and they say it is not that easy and could take time. A frustrated Varun sees Smitha ( played by Vrinda ) happily cracking a deal and accuses her, saying that it is very easy for cheaters to crack a deal. Ami also comes and says that he is saying all this because he is jealous. They are arguing when Chandini intervenes and tells them to stop. Varun tells her to keep quiet and walks away. Chandini runs after him when Adi stops her in the hallway and says that she should be celebrating because her team is cracking all the deals. Chandini tries to reason with him and tells that the atmosphere in the office is getting more tensed and that he should manage his team better. Adi retorts, oh you will tell me now how to manage my team. Chandini says to him that I don't want to argue with you unnecessarily. Then later don't tell me that I didn't warn you. And she walks away.

She enters the canteen where she catches sight of Varun and Smitha having a heated argument. Both are accusing each other. Smitha tells Varun that do you know how much tension and humiliation I have to undergo everyday. I am all alone and everyday before I leave for office, my neighbours taunt me saying there goes the call girl who work in the call centre. But you, a flop actor, can't understand all this. Varun gets angry at her remark and retorts that everybody has problems, but unlike you I don't announce it to everyone. Chandini is upset and tries to intervene, but Varun warns her not to interfere and tells her not to put her goondness act and tells her buzz off. He is totally frustrated, saying he hates it in the office and is walking away when he stops short on seeing Dadaji.

Adi and Kabir are discussing the virus problem when Kavitha comes in and says that she wants to talk to Adi. Adi is irritated and asks her to leave, but Kavitha insists that she needs to talk to him now. She tells Adi that she had a chat with her bf who told her she shouldn't tolerate Adi's attitude anymore. She says that he could sense her worry in her voice and says that is why she loves him so much. Adi is getting irritated all the while. Then she continues to talk how it will be if she comes to work wearing pink lipstick, blue dress and brown shoes saying it wouldn't match at all. Adi's brain suddenly clicks when he hears the word match. He gets excited, hugs Kavitha that she is a genius and that he loves her and her bf too. Kavitha is confused and goes out. Adi then turns to kabir saying that every virus should have a match and if they can find a match on a computer, then it means that the virus was sent from that computer and they will find out the culprit. Kabir agrees and says that his friend could help him out, but asks Adi if it is ok since Vishesh had strictly refused any outside interference. Adi thinks, but he is desperate to find out the culprit and he asks Kabir to call up his friend.

In the meantime, Dadaji is counselling everyone in the canteen and asking them why the office atmosphere is so bad. Chandini asks him to talk to everyone to sort out their differences, because she is tired of doing so. But Dadaji refuses saying it is not his job to interfere in official matters and that there are others to do it. He then tells them to concentrate on their work and work together as a team. Chandini says what use is a win when there is so much ill difference among us. Varun also says that with all due respect, the goal is too high and the atmosphere would have continued to remain nice if the other team hadn't cheated. Smitha is getting angry again when Adi interrupts and asks Varun to go with him.

Adi, Varun and Kabir meet Kabir' s friend who give them the matching CD of the virus. He demands 50,000 for it instead of the initial 10,000. The others are angry, but Adi throws 50,000 on the table and takes the CD. He then tells the friend that you are foolish. You don't know how much this CD means to me. If you would have asked me even 1 lakh, I would give it to you. The 3 leave, and the friend bangs his head in frustration.

Adi goes with the 3 to the office. He goes up to Ami, shows her the CD and tells her it is the bedroom scene of a famous model and actor and asks her if he can use her computer to view it since it is not working on his laptop. Ami is excited and gives him permission, but the computer says No Match found. Ami then tells him to try it out on Prashanth's comp, as he is not present. But even in Prashanth's comp, the same msg, No Match found, is repeated. They then go to Chandini's comp and alas, the msg 'Match found' flashes. Adi is stunned and says to everyone that Chandini's comp is showing the match for the virus. Everyone is shocked and Varun says loudly, oh the virus has come from Miss Jalandhar's computer. These words start ringing in poor Chandini's ears as she stares at her computer in shock!

End of episode

Chandini the culprit???????? No way!!!! Poor thing, somebody must have framed her and I am really suspicious that it is Prashanth. He could have used Chandini's comp when the 4 girls were in the canteen.

Preview of next episode.

Vishesh is upset with Adi for disobeying his authority and tells him that I am your elder brother only at home and at office, I am your boss. He then calls everybody's attention saying that the results of the scan has come and the virus was..... from Chandini's comp.

5th jan 2006 by vidya

Start of Episode

Aditya starts clapping and says to Chandini, 'Wow Miss Parandi, I am impressed. We didn't allow your team to access our databases and in return you sent a virus to all our computers. Chandini doesn't say anything, she walks away with tears in her eyes while Adi is smiling triumphantly.

Tyson reports the matter to Vishesh ( Adi and Prashanth ) saying that it is Miss Chandini Kapoor who is responsible and therefore according to the rules of IC, she should be fired. Prashanth defends Chandini saying there is no way she could have done it. Adi says, wow what team spirit. I really appreciate it. But Vishesh says since this was not an official investigation, they cannot take the result for confirmation. He tells the others to go, but stops Aditya.

Chandini is sitting at her desk and crying. Varun taunts Chandini saying that I thought I was a good actor, but you have definitely surpassed me. Then some other guy says that Chandini all the while was doing natak of being good and upright and all that. Just then Prashanth comes up to Chandini that they are not taking the results of this unofficial investigation, but that till the matter is resolved, Chandini cannot work anymore. Chandini is upset and asks if she can go out for a while. Prashanth agrees and even Ami follows Chandini where Chandini is sitting on the steps outside India calling. She puts her hand on Chandini's shoulder who turns and starts crying on Ami's shoulder. She tells Ami how easily everyone believed that she was the culprit. No one even thought about why I would do it and what I would get out of it. She tells that leave alone cheating, such a thought never even entered my head. Ami tries to console Chandini and gives her mobile to her telling her to talk to her Beeji. But Chandini refuses saying that Beeji will guess that there is something wrong with my voice and I cannot tell a lie to Beeji. Ami then tells her to come inside, but Chandini tells her that anyway I am forbidden to work. Therefore you go inside and I will sit outside.

Vishesh tells Aditya that he is very disappointed in him because not only did Adi disregard his elder brother's words, but he also directly challenged his authority. He says I am your elder brother only at home, but at office I am your boss. Adi says his team's deals were suffering and that is why he had to do all this. Just then Varun comes in and tells Adi excitedly that their computers are working. Adi is also excited and goes out with him.

Everyone is working in the hub when Vishesh comes in and tells that the first results of the official investigation has come out. He says that according to the reports, the virus was not generated from Chandini's computer. Everyone is stunned at this statement ( Adi looks guilty ). Prashanth says to Vishesh that he will go outside and bring Chandini. Vishesh ( looking at Adi ) warns everyone not to do any more unofficial investigation and leaves.

Prashanth walks in with Chandini who is still looking depressed. Ami tries to cheer her up saying that now everyone knows you didn't do it. Chandini goes to her desk, prays in front of the Matharani idol and starts working.

Smitha who is working, takes out a piece of paper from her bag, glances around and drops it into the waste basket. Varun who has been observing her, comes up to her and demands to know what is in the paper. He accuses Smitha of being the culprit and of trying to frame Chandini. He says of all of us, you have the maximum reason to want to win the incentives. Smitha is trying to deny all this saying that the letter is personal, but Varun says that here nothing is personal and reaches for the chit again. Adi comes up to him and tries to pacify him, but Varun grabs the paper and starts reading it. However it is not some plot, but rather a letter to Smitha from her father saying that he is unable to send her money because of home troubles. Embarassed, he stops reading. Smitha asks him why he stopped, takes the letter from him and continues to read. In that her father has written that their house is run on a meager pension and that the small amount of money which is left is for Smitha's sister's wedding. He says that Smitha is doing masti in Bombay and that if she wants her sister to remain single her whole life, he can send the money. Reading this, Smitha is crying and then she walks away followed by Chandini. Varun is looking really embarassed and Adi guilty.

Smitha is crying in the hallway and Chandini and Ami are trying to console her. Chandini asks Smitha why she didn't share her problems with them. Ami says that if Smitha's landlord really kicks her out, then Smitha can come stay in her house for a few days. Prashanth also comes up and tells Smitha not to pay too much attention to Varun's words and that he said all that becoz of the rising tension. Prashanth also says that Varun is truly embarassed and very sorry for his behaviour. He then asks all the 3 to get back to work as there is so much to be done.

Chandini is waiting outside IC when Adi comes up and tries to apologize. But Chandini brushes him off saying she doesn't want his pity and that the official investigation is still going on. She says that there is so much tension in the office and walks away.

In the chawl, Chandini is sitting on the parapet deep in thought. Beeji who is drying the clothes says to her, first they accused you, then they said you weren't the culprit, then they pointed fingers at Smitha which also turned out to be untrue. She asks Chandini what is all this happening. Chandini is troubled and says who wants to remove me from the office. I haven't harmed or hurt anybody in the office. Beeji consoles her and says that Vishesh Khanna is looking after the official investigation and therefore everything will turn out all right. She asks Chandini to come inside, eat some food and get some rest before office.

At IC, everybody is working when Vishesh comes up and says that the official results of the investigation is out. He says that it is a very serious matter and that the culprit will be fired. While he is saying all this, he goes from one person to another. Finally he walks upto Chandini saying, Why did you do this........... ( Chandini's face is looking scared ) when he suddenly turns and says, Why did you do this Prashanth????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody is stunned!!!!

End of episode

Preview of next episode: Prashanth and Chandini are standing in Vishesh's office and Chandini is defending Prashanth saying that like in my case, probably somebody is trying to frame Prashanth. She reminds Vishesh that he only said that Prashanth was such a trustworthy person and that before passing any conclusion, proof is very important. Vishesh then asks Chandini to follow him.

Vishesh is very angry at Prashanth. He comes up to him and demands to know why he did such a thing. He says last year he won the best employee award and this time also the award had his name on it becoz he was so straightforward, honest and trustworthy. He tells Prashanth to meet him later in the office alone and orders everybody else to get back to work.

Everybody is working, but Chandini is sitting at her desk and telling that she can feel in her heart that Prashanth is not capable of doing such a thing. Ami and Kavitha tell her that the official investigation has proven it and therefore it must be true. Varun also agrees. But Chandini still feels it is not so. She thinks of the time when she and Prashanth were alone in the canteen on New Years eve and Prashanth had told her that the reason for joining Adi's team was something which she would never understand. She thinks that there must be some other reason. Then Adi's voice cuts into the conversation telling her to grow up from her daydream and look at the real world. Chandini retorts that she learnt from her Beeji always to follow her heart and not her head. Adi tells her that all this teaching is stupid and tells her in the real world, it is totally different. Saying this, he walks away.

Varun goes to Jenny's office and asks for Smitha's phone number, but Jenny says it is against office rules. Varun then asks if there were any phone calls or msgs from Smitha saying she was on leave. Jenny says no and asks him why he wants to know. Varun thinks of yesterday night when Smitha was upset and reading out the letter and says he just wanted to know if everything was ok becozshe didn't turn up for work today. Jenny checks the database, but tells Varun that Smitha's house doesn't have a phone. Then she says that a letter had arrived at the desk and that it was addressed to Vishesh. Varun opens the letter and is shocked on seeing the contents.

Chandini borrows Ami's phone becoz she wants to talk to beeji. Beeji in the meanwhile is chatting with Vidya's saas in the chawl. Vidya brings a cup of tea and Beeji remarks that the tea is so nice and sweet. Vidya's saas sarcastically says that it is probably because Vidya wastes 2 kgs of sugar everyday. Beeji says that it is not only the sugar which makes the tea sweet, but also the love of the person making it. Just then the phone rings and Vidya's saas goes to answer it. Beeji then whispers to Vidya that in Jalandhar, people like her saas are called bhuddi khoosat at which both Beeji and Vidya break out into giggles. Vidya's saas comes back and says that the phone is from Chandini. Beeji is worried becoz Chandini never calls from office and goes to answer it.

Chandini tells Beeji that you always told me to follow my heart and not my head. Beeji is confused and says that even now I will tell you to do the same thing. Chandini then reminds Beeji of a incident at school when during a school race she was in one team and one boy of the other team who won the race was stripped of his gold medal becoz he was accused of putting kankar on one of Chandini's teammates shoes so that he could win the race. But Chandini and her teammates knew that it was not the winner, but another boy who had done it. Chandini was told to keep quiet of this incident, but she remembered her Beeji's advice and told the truth to the principal. Beeji tells her to do the same thing now. Chandini is surprised as to how Beeji knew that she was facing a similar dilemma now, but Beeji says I know you your whole life puttar. Varun then comes upto Chandini and tells her that Smitha has resigned from the job. Chandini is shocked on hearing this.

Prashanth is standining in Vishesh's office and Vishesh is demanding to know why he did such a thing. Prashanth says that the reason is so wierd that even if I say the truth, it will look like false at this point of time. Vishesh is not impressed with this excuse and hands Prashanth his resignation letter saying that he has only 2 options left, either sign it or be terminated. Just then there is a knock on the door and Chandini comes in. Vishesh is angry and tells her that he wanted to talk to Prashanth alone, but Chandini says that she will only take a minute. She tells Vishesh that he himself said that Prashanth was so honest and trustworthy and just like somebody framed me, the same thing could have happened to Prashanth. Even in a courtroom, criminals are not convicted unless there is proper and complete evidence. Vishesh agrees with her and asks her to follow him so that she can see the proof.

Vishesh comes to the hub and annouces to everybody that some people are not happy with the decision regarding Prashanth and therefore he wants to show the proof to everyone. He calls for Tyson who comes in with 2 attendants wheeling a computer and tape. Vishesh then says that because of security reasons, all the office rooms are outfitted with close circuit cameras. On hearing this, Prashanth is startled. Vishesh then inserts the tape which shows Prashanth entering the room after everybody had left for break. He first goes to Varun's comp to collect the NRI client database, then he goes to Chandini's computer to install the virus. Then he comes back to Varun's comp and seeing that the virus is installed gives a satisfied smile. Vishesh angrily gets up from the desk and tells Prashanth he is fired. He then comes up to chandini ( who is very upset and hanging her head ) and announces that in future, I hope that nobody will question the managements decisions.

Beeji is folding sweaters and putting it away in a suitcase while singing, Yeh Hai Bambai Meri Jaan, when Chandini comes in and stands by the window. Beeji remarks that there is no use for these sweaters becoz the weather in Bombay has given them dhoka. Chandini says that it is not only the sweaters, but the whole city which has given them dhoka. Beeji is surprised and asks her what the reason is. Chandini is crying and hugs Beeji telling her that it is Prashanth who gave dhoka. Beejis is shocked on hearing this. Chandini then says that Bombay has a heart of stone and it is no place for people like her. To survive, you have to be a dishonest and deceitful like Prashanth, or give up like Smitha or be like Adi who listens to dimaag ( head ) than dil ( heart ). She tells Beeji that she doesn't want to ever change and says that if it has to remain so they have to get out of this city. Otherwise she will lose her own identity just like they lost Mini didi. She says that today itself they should go back to Jalandhar. Beeji is shocked on hearing this!

Preview of next episode: Chandini tells Beeji that they have to leave as soon as possible. She tells Prashanth that because of him, she has lost trust even in herself. She then tells Vishesh that she wants to resign from her job and Vishesh is looking up shocked.

Jan. 10

Start of episode

Beeji questions Chandini as to what she is saying and whether she will quit so easily. Chandini tells her that before she loses her identity, they have to leave Bombay as soon as possible. Probably Matharani had destined that they spend only so many days in Bombay. But Beeji tells her it is not Matharani's fault. Chandini sticks to her point and says she will quit her job at IC today itself. Beeji says to her that if you want to quit your job, it is your decision and I won't stop you. But we came here all the way from home with the sole purpose of finding Manisha and till that is accomplished, we won't leave Bombay.

Adi is having breakfast with Dadaji saying that he speaks just like Chandini. Dadaji says it is because he and Chandini are made from the same soil. Adi doesn't understand all this talk of mitti and tells Dadaji to stop. The whole office saw the proof of Prashanth's crime and still Chandini kept harping that she trusted Prashanth because her dil said so. He says that Vishesh let Prashanth go very easily and that if he had been in his place, he would have sent Prashanth to the police station. Dadaji says that without thinking fully and clearly, Vishesh never takes a step.

Prem is leaving for work when Vidya comes upto him with a tiffin box filled with gobi ke paranthe which she had made according to Beeji's direction. Prem smiles at her and is about to say something when his mother comes out and shouts at Vidya to go inside and clean the dirty dishes. Sad, Vidya goes inside and her saas tells Prem lovingly to go to work. Chandini and Beeji are observing all this and Chandini says to Beeji again that Mumbai makes people heartless. If Prem wanted, he could have spoken some nice words to Vidya, but he chose to remain silent and listen to his mother's taunts. She says that Adi's dimag has won and her dil has lost. Saying this she leaves and Beeji stares after her worried.

Prashanth comes upto Jenny and gives his resignation letter. He asks for his cheque, but Jenny says it has to be signed by the boss first. Prashanth says ok and turns when he spots Chandini. He starts to speak, but Chandini cuts him off saying that there is no words left between them. Prashanth starts to tell her something, but stops short on seeing Vishesh. He leaves and Vishesh asks Jenny why Prashanth is still here. Jenny hands him Prashanth's as well as Smitha's resignation letter. Vishesh is surprised at Smitha's letter, but takes it and leaves. Chandini is left standing.

Varun is working on the computer when Ami comes up and remarks sadly that their team is sure to lose the incentives since both Prashanth and Smitha have left. Varun is remorseful and says that it is all his fault. Chandini comes upto him and says it is not his fault, but it is the Corporate world which is heartless and gives no room for people's emotions. Ami surprised asks her what she is saying, but Chandini leaves.

Vishesh is working in his office when Chandini enters. He asks her to sit down and explain what the matter. Chandini tells him that what is happening in the office is not right. Ever since the two teams were announced, everybody has become matlabi and think only of their own good. With tears in her eyes she says that she is unable to fit into the Corporate world. Adi was right when he told that one should listen to one's head and not the heart. This is a heartless world which shows no mercy for people like Smitha. She is unable to adjust and therefore wants to leave IC. Vishesh looks shocked. Chandini places her resignation letter on the desk and leaves crying.

Chandini is crying in the canteen when Prashanth walks in. He again tries to talk to her, but Chandini says she is done talking with him and because of him she is leaving IC. She says that this place is filled with dishonest and deceitful people........ and Prashanth completes the sentence, like me. He tells Chandini that everywhere, the world is filled with deceitful people like him and that is why it is in dire need of honest people like Chandini. But Chandini says that she is no longer the person she is and she has changed just like Prashanth. She leaves.

Vishesh is standing in a darkened hallway. He knocks on a door which opens to reveal Smitha's tearful face. She is surprised to see him and exclaims, Vishesh!

One girl tells Kavitha that Smitha's cheque was blocked whereas Prashanth's cheque was cleared. Chandini who is passing by stops on hearing it. Kavitha sympathises with Smitha saying that she had enough problems, first with the house and now the cheque. Varun tells this is a big surprise. Chandini cuts into the conversation, saying it is not at all a surprise. She says sarcastically that after all Smitha was such a dedicated and trustful employee and therefore the organization is perfectly correct to not pass her cheque and pass Prashanth's cheque even when he is deceitful. She says that Vishesh sir has no concern at all for the welfare of the employees and leaves. The others stare at her in shock.

Chandini is working on the computer when Adi comes upto her angrily and demands to know why she said things against Vishesh. Varun tries to stop him, but Adi brushes him off and tells Chandini that he can't bear to hear things said against his elder brother. Chandini says that when she first met Vishesh, she was surprised that he and Adi were brothers because no two people could be more different. But now she knows that Vishesh is just like the rest of the corporate world - heartless, cruel. Adi is angry and says that I am what I am, but Vishesh is the perfect elder brother and nowhere can there be a better boss and a human being. Chandini retorts saying whether elder or younger, both brothers are the same and she doesn't want to work in an organization where the boss doesn't know about the welfare of the people. She turns around and stops short on seeing Vishesh. Vishesh tells her that since she doesn't have faith in the ability of the leadership, he can't do anything to stop her. He says that he accepts Chandini's resignation and moves away to reveal a smiling Smitha. Everybody stands up from their seat in happiness and Chandini is totally surprised. Vishesh then announces that from today, Smitha is rejoining the office and her pay cheque was blocked because they didn't want to lose such a trustful and sincere employee. Saying this he leaves. Adi tells Chandini to see what a good person Vishesh really is and leaves. Chandini stares after Vishesh's retreating form.

End of episode:

Preview of next episode. Chandini says to Vishesh that he made 1 mistake and that is to create a deewar. Kabir coughs violently into his handkerchief and Adi runs up to him worried. Chandini tells Prashanth that I wasn't ready to listen to you before, but now I am.

God, at least some of the suspence is getting resolved! Thank god. I was really happy when Smitha came back. Now I just hope that the Adi - Chandini romance comes back on track too!

Jan 11th by charming gal

Smitha is back and everybody is happy. Smitha tells Amy that Vishesh especially came to her house to bring her back to India calling. He convinced her that such small things shouldn't stop her. Chandni feels very bad for having judged Vishesh wrongly.

She is called in Vishesh's office. As she enters his office, he tells her that her release order is ready. Chandni is feeling very guilty. Vishesh tells her that what he did with Smitha was not compulsory. It wasn't India calling's rule to go and get employee's back but Vishesh did it because he felt that what happened with Vidhya was unfair. Her personal life shouldn't have been exposed in front of everyone like that.

Chandni feels sorry. Vishesh tells her that he has to get the 1000 packages sales done. Chandni tells him that she feels that Vishesh's descision has divided India calling. If he wouldn't have announced the two teams, maybe they would've reached their goal faster and then things wouldn't have gone wrong.

Vishesh agrees and he tells her that maybe her idea for the entire team to work together is good. Chandni lights up at this and tells him its a great idea they can....... and then suddenly she realises that she has already handed in her resignation. Vishesh understands and tells chandni to follow him out.

Meanwhile Adi is talking to varun. He says that "Usko yahaan rehne ka koi hak nahin. Har chote baat main uske aankhon main bade aasoon aa jate hai. India calling needs tough people," . Varun says that Adi shouldn't talk about chandni like that. Adi turns around and says that he is talking about Smitha and not Chandni.

Then, Vishesh comes and announces a annual party that India calling has. He invites everybody to it. He then announces that everyone will now be working together for achieving the Sundance deal and the incentives remain same. He then tells everyone that Smitha is back and Chandni isn't going to quit India calling.

Chandni goes home, where Beeji is busy enjoying a local fight the ladies are having over water. Chandni asks her what she is doing and Beeji tells her she is enjoying the show. Beeji also has the approaching lori on her mind. Chandni says she needs to rest because she has to leave early. Beeji asks her that the day before she was going to retire and then now suddenly she is talking of overtime. Chandni says no, its something else she has to do .

Chandni goes to Prashant's house. There she see's the photo of a child. Prashant is shocked to see Chandni. Chandni asks him who the girl in the photo is. He tells her she is his daughter. She lives with her mother and prashant needed to pay 5 lakh rupees to be able to see her. Its alimony money that will make the court allow him to meet his daughter who he hasn't seen in six months. That is why he did what he did, even though its unpardonable.

Chandni is thinking whether what prashant did is right. He needed the money, but to cheat was a bad way.

The entire team of India calling are working hard to fulfill the 100 packages. 825, 850, 924, 997- the last three packages are left. One of the employee's is speaking to a client when he suddenly starts coughing. Everyone else is busy on A call . Adi comes to this person's seat and that person leaves. Adi looks at the headphones and mike in his hand and asks Chandni what he should do. She says he should take the call. Adi is nervous but when chandni insists he takes the call.

He talks very confidently and Varun is shocked. The foreigner asks him about the quality of service and Adi says that its the promise of an indian that everything will be fine. Happy the foreigner books five packages. The target is thereby achieved.

Chandni goes and tells prashant that the target was done, and both are happy. She tells him that she'll give her share of the incentive to prashant. She tells him that she came to the city to look for the daughter of her father. If she helped Prashant meet his daughter maybe she would be able to find her sister. Prashant asks her about her sister and she says her name is Manisha Kapoor.

Surprised, Prashant remembers when Kamini had asked the entire office who manisha kapoor was the first time Chandni had entered Kamini's office uninvited. He tell Chandni that he might know where her sister is.

Tomorrow- Chandni goes to a party and starts dancing there. She's sitting when suddenly a lady is big heels comes and order an orange juice. Who is this lady? Manisha? Kamini? New Charecter? Who knows, wait and watch.

Untill next wednesday- this is charm signing off.

Start of episode

Chandini excitedly asks Prashanth if he knows where her Mini dini is. Prashanth says no, but he had heard Kamini mention the name during the first time when Chandini went to IC uninvited. He tells Chandini that today is the IC annual party, right? In that case, Manisha might be in the party becoz this is the party where invitations are sent to anybody who has ever been connected with IC, including sponsorers, business partners as well as ex employees. So if Manisha had anything to do with IC, then probably she will also be at the party.

Romeo comes walking into the chawl loudly singing Salaam Namaste and carrying small bundles of cut sugarcane when he meets Vidya. Vidya asks him what he is doing and Romeo replies that he is helping out for Lodi. Vidya questions him as to what is Lodi and Romeo says, oh you are a hindustani and don't know what Lodi is. By that time Beeji comes up and asks Romeo what he is doing with the cut sugarcane. Romeo replies that you had asked me for sugarcane to eat and see I have bought the tastiest sugarcane. Beeji hits him on the head and says that the sugarcane is for the lodi puja and not for eating and she wanted the full sugarcane with the leaves and not the cut sugarcane. She says that you kept boasting that when Romeo is on the job, no need to take tension. Romeo is hurt and says that while he is there, there is no need to worry and that he will be back within half an hour and leaves. Vidya questions Beeji as to what is Lodi and Beeji says it is the start of the harvest season. Vidya is excited about it when Chandini comes running up and excitedly tells Beeji to come inside with her.

Chandini tells Beeji that this year she cannot celebrate Lodi with her since there is the office party. Beeji is surprised and tells her that such parties keep coming, but Lodi comes only one year. Chandini says maybe such parties will never come in her life and maybe in this party she will find Mini didi. Beeji shocked exclaims Manisha and asks Chandini if this is true. Chandini tells her that according to Prashanth, anybody who was ever connected with IC will there at the party and therefore there is a very strong possibility of finding Manisha. She says that 1 door of possibility is will be open if I go to that party and the other door will be open if I have your aashirwaad. Beeji tells her to pray to Maatharani as her aashirwaad will make everything possible.

Adi and Dadaji are discussing about today's party and Dadaji asks Adi if all the invitations have been sent out. Adi says that everything has been organized from the DJ, food and invitations. Dadaji asks about the Dhol baajna and the Bhangra dancing since it is Lodi. But Adi pooh poohs the idea and says that all this lodi and bhangra will look out of place in the IC party and walks away. Dadaji sits down sadly and says to himself that every year, Vishesh promises that we will have Lodi celebrations, but looks like this time will also be a disappointment.

Beeji is sitting on a charpai in the chawl when Romeo comes up for once dressed in a kurta - pyjama and carrying the long stalks of sugarcane. Beeji catches Chandini all dressed up for the party and goes into nostalgia on seeing her baaliya ( earrings ). She says that during Lodi celebrations one year, she had got both Manisha and Chandini the same pair of baliya so that there would be no fighting among them. She says sadly, I had both my granddaughters with me that day. Chandini consoles her and says that hope is still left.

Music and lights are blaring in a lounge where the IC party is going on in full swing. Adi who is dancing catches sight of Dadaji sitting in a corner and tries to get him to dance, but Dadaji refuses saying that he just cannot appreciate this generation's style of western music and beats. Adi goes back to dance when Chandini enters the party. She looks around at everybody dancing and wonders how she will find Mini didi in such a crowd. Just then a hand is clapped on her shoulder and somebody exclaims Chandini. Chandini whirls around to see................. Dadaji. She is happy to see him and Dadaji asks her why she is not celebrating Lodi. Chandini says that coming to the office party is also important, and Dadaji tells her he cannot understand such parties and the music. Just then Ami comes upto Chandini and asks her to dance. Chandini says after a while and Dadaji asks her to go on as one should not refuse one's friends. Just then the music stops and the loud beating of the dhol is heard. Everybody turns around to see Vishesh playing the dhol and Adi is totally surprised. Vishesh says that it is time to liven up the party with some extra beats as today is Lodi and he dedicates it to Dadaji. Dadaji is very happy but Adi comes upto Vishesh and says that such Dhol and Bhangra is totally out of place. Dadaji says that since your generation has changed Bhangra to Bhangra rap, why should there be any problem dancing the original Bhangra. He says probably none of you even know how to dance the Bhangra. Adi suggest having a competition between hip hop and bhangra. Dadaji and Vishesh agree and Dadaji picks Chandini to dance. While the rest of the crowd chooses Adi for the hip hop.

Beeji is standing alone in the kitchen praying for Chandini's success when Romeo comes in and asks Beeji what she is doing inside when everybody is waiting for her outside. Beeji goes with him and starts distributing prasad to everyone when a pair of arms are outstretched which belong to Prashanth. He says that he has come to join them since Chandini helped him to meet his daughter. Beeji says she can understand the separation from a loved one.

Meanwhile, Adi and Chandini take up their positions on the stage and the dance competition begins in full josh with Chandini energetically dancing the bhangra and Adi making his sexy moves ( and making me swoon! ). But ultimately Adi has to accept defeat as he runs out of moves and walks off the stage. Chandini comes upto Dadaji and Vishesh and pulls them on stage and then everybody come on stage and start dancing the bhangra. Adi is looking at all of them in surprise.

In the chawl, everybody is going around the fire and dancing when Prashanth catches sight of Beeji who is standing with tears in her eyes. Beeji says that she had bought a pair of payal for Manisha when she had come over from Jalandhar thinking she will give it for Lodi, but Lodi has come and gone and there is no sign of Manisha. Prashanth tells her not to give up hope.

Chandini sits on the bar stool and asks the barman for orange juice. A voice exclaims orange juice and Chandini turns around to see a lady in a black dress and high stilletos enter and the lady is Ravee Gupta! ( Oh my God Shefs! This means your detective and prediction skills are awesome da! I almost fell off my chair in shock! Does that mean your fanfic about Adi and Shefs will also come true! God no, you can't be so cruel to the rest of us! ). She drunkenly suggests that orange juice and vodka is a much better combination, but Chandini politely says she doesn't drink alcohol. Ravee then scruitinizing Chandini says she looks familiar and that she had met a girl who had similar earrings. Chandini looks up in shock and asks her where she had met the girl, but Ravee says that I don't remember anything after a few drinks. Just then a group of boys swarm Ravee and within a few seconds, Ravee completely disappears! Chandini is in shock and frantically searches for her everywhere, but in vain.

Later in the night, Chandini is resting on Beeji's lap in the charpai and both are dejected. Chandini says that she searched everywhere for the girl, but she was nowhere to be found. Beeji says that there must be many girls who wear the same type of earrings and goes inside. Chandini is following her when a noise makes her stop and turning around, she spies Ravee far away behind some bushes. Chandini stares at her in shock.

End of episode

Preview of next episode: Ami and Chandini are sitting in a canteen and Ami questions Chand as to whether she was searching for a girl during the IC party. Chandini says that the girl just disappeared and Ami suggests to try Tyson as he will probably know. Chandini starts getting hopeful again that Tyson might help her to find the girl.

Jan 16 update by viduraju:

Ravee who is smiling at a shocked Chandini turns and walks away. Chandini runs after her, but by that time Ravee gets into a blue car ( I think this is the same car which stops in the busstand where Chandini is standing at the new promo ) which drives away. Poor Chandini is left standing frustrated. When she walks back into her room, a worried Beeji questions as to where she was. Chandini tells her she saw the same woman who she had seen in the party and Beeji exclaims, So that means........ and Chandini finishes the sentence. So that means, that there is some connection between Mini didi and this woman.

Next morning, Vishesh is worriedly pacing the living room saying that he has to leave for LA on some important work and he doesn't know who to leave the office responsibility to ( God alone knows where is Kamini. I mean I am thrilled she is not there, but she seems to have temporarily disappeared! ). Before there was Prashanth, but now? Adi tells him that he knows the perfect guy and Vishesh looks around confused. Adi points to himself and says me. Vishesh is disbelieving of Adi's capability and says it is a huge responsibility which Adi may not be able to handle and is walking away when Adi stops him. He says that unless he is given an opportunity, he can't prove himself. He says that when Vishesh comes back, he should be proud to call himself as Adi's elder brother. Vishesh says that he wants that too, but...... Adi tells him not to worry and that he will manage everything. Vishesh is still disbelieving, but finally agrees.

Beeji and Chandini are discussing and Chandini tells Beeji that she has to go Shirdi as she had wanted to go for a long time. Beeji tells her that she wants to go to seek Aashirwaad so that they can find Manisha, but after last night's episode, she is worried about leaving Chandini alone. Just then Mukund tells Beeji that the taxi is ready and they will be late if they don't go. Beeji and Chandini follow where Mukund and his mother are ready. Romeo also comes and asks them where they are going. Mukund's mother tells him they are going to Shirdi because Mukund got good marks for once and they need to seek Baba's blessings so that he gets into a good Engineering college. Romeo asks Beeji to put 5 Rs in his name so that even his future will be settled with the aid of Baba's blessings. Chandini gives a shawl and some money to Beeji and tells her to be careful. Beeji is still worried, and asks Chandini how she will manage because Chandini gave her quite a sum of money to her, but then remembers about the incentives. Chandini once again assures her that she will manage. But once Beeji leaves, she says to herself that I gave all the incentive money to Prashanth and I have only 100 Rs. left. But then thinks that maybe the help given to Prashanth will bring some blessings to me which will help me find my Mini didi.

In IC, Ami asks Vrinda how she spent her incentives money. Vrinda says she bought a watch and also paid the deposit to the landlord, but feels that it would have been better if they had gotten hard cash instead of the jhamela of selling the car and all that. Ami agrees and when Vrinda asks her what she bought, she reels off a long waiting list which includes a makeup kit, a LCD monitor for her comp and so on. Ami then asks Kavitha teasingly that she must have surely bought a flight ticket to NY to see her bf. Kavitha replies sadly that she had wanted to, but that her passport expired and now she has to wait for some time. So she would buy some gifts for him first. During all this discussion, Chandini is totally lost. Ami then asks Varun what he bought since he cracked the maximum deals. Varun says it is a secret and he won't reveal it so soon to which Smitha replies sarcastically that before tomorrow he will himself announce it to everybody. Just then a call comes for Ami. It turns out to be a guy who asks her if she can help him find information about a girl he had met at the IC party and who had refused to dance with him. Ami thinks it is so sweet and says she will help. Just then Adi walks in, sees Varun sitting on Kabir's desk and asks him to sit down properly. Varun asks him to relax, but Adi is very serious and strict about discipline. He says that now he is in control and everybody will have to listen to him. Just then a phone starts ringing. It is Chandini's, but she is completely lost thinking about Ravee and what she said, that she doesn't even notice it. Everybody stares at her, and Adi getting irritated goes up to her and snaps his fingers. Chandini is jolted out of her reverie and looks guiltily at Adi. Adi presses down the phone button and asks Chandini to attend it to see how experienced she has become in handling calls. Chandini answers the phone, but unfortunately for her it is the same guy who had earlier called up Ami. Ami by mistake has transferred the call to Chandini and the guy goes on to ask Chandini if she is the pretty girl whom he danced with yesterday. Chandini is totally confused and presses the phone down. Adi then tells her that she shouldn't waste her time attending personal love calls on her phone. Chandini is upset and leaves the room.

Ami comes to the canteen where Chandini is sitting upset. She comes and apologizes for having mistakenly transferred the call to Chandini. Chand says it is ok. Ami then asks her why she is so upset and goes on to ask her if she was searching for someone in the party. Chandini tells her it was a girl and she was there for a moment, but then completely disappeared. Ami asks her if she knew her, but Chand says she didn't and she only recognizes the voice and maybe the face. Ami then says that maybe Tyson might help as he has the guest list of the IC party with him. Chandini starts to feel hopeful again.

Chandini lurks around Tyson's office and frantically searches for the list. She is very tensed, and the slightest noises make her jump in fear. When she finally spies the file and heaves a sigh of relief, a strange voice calls out Chandini and she turns with her heart in her mouth. But it only turns out to be Ami who is planning a prank on her. Chandini is very upset and walks out without the list. She tells Ami that she has come all the way to this city in search of her missing sister and the woman in the party is probably the only link who knows something about her sister. She said that everybody fears to go to Tyson's cabin, but she did it because she had no other choice. Even in fun, she hadn't ever committed a crime but now she was forced to do it because of the circumstances and now there was no hope of getting the list at all. Ami looks very guilty, but their conversation is put to a stop by Aditya who orders them to quit gossiping and get back to work.

Varun tells Kabir that he can't understand Adi's bossy attitude at all. The man who till then himself bunked office, now was lecturing everyone about discipline. Kabir nudges Varun who turns around to find Adi listening to the conversation upset. Varun looks guilty and Adi just walks away.

Chandini takes a call in very pheeka mood and when the call is over, drops her head in her hand. Ami comes up to her with a sheaf of papers in her hand and triumphantly tells her it is the guest list. Chandini refuses to accept it and Ami angrily tells her who she thinks she is. Chandini says that because of Ami, she was stopped from committing a crime, i.e. stealing as she would never steal from anyone. Ami scoffs at Chandini and tells her that they are doing all this to find Chandini's sister and even if they get paap, it will come on her as she was the one who stole the list from Tyson's office. She places the paper on Chandini's desk and walks away. Chandini thinks to herself that finding Manisha is the most important thing of all, and if she can find her through this list, then even God will forgive her. She then prays to God and with a determined look on her face, she picks up the papers and says that she will find her Mini didi at any cost.

End of episode

Preview of next episode: Chandini tries one number after another on the list, but to no avail. Then finally a voice says Hello and Chandini is shocked as it sounds very much like Ravee. Then she stands outside a door and prays that she finds the woman fast.

Well, all in all a pretty slow episode. No Adi - Chand romantic moments. God, when will they show that! Can't wait at all.

Hi guys …………….as vidya is bit busy today ……….u gotto tolerate me …..for this update.

Chand tells her tht how she will search her as she don't even know her name,wat she knows is only her voice. amy then tells her tht she can call everyone and then she can recognize the voice of tht lady.

Beeji is back frm shirdi and was giving Prasad to romeo(I guess thts wat his name is) and strts feeling giddy. Romeo asks her whether she is alrite. Beeji tells him tht she is fine ..it happens sumtimes coz of her age and tells him to go. Romeo goes frm there but leaves his file.

Chandini calls each and every one frm the list and after sum time she hears the same voice which she heard at the party. Her names cums out to be sheeba. Inspite of telling bout the whole meeting at the party sheeba fails to recognize her. Chand then tells tht if she don't know her then why the hell she came to her house behind her. Sheeba says tht she doesent know wat she is talking and hangs up.

While giving money to the shopkeeper a 50 rupee note slips from her purse.

Beeji is feeling really cold and also gets worried bout chand as she wwas not home by now. Beeji gets up to take a medicine but she finds tht she don't have tht medicine. A lady peeps inside and beeji was bout to tell her to get the medicine but b4 beeji cud say sumthing she leaves in hurry.

Romeo cums back to take his file and finds beeji fainted on the floor.

Chand goes to sheeba's house but finds noone over there. Her neighbour informs her tht although its sheeba's house but she rarely cums here.

Chand gets disappointed and takes a rick. Prev customer didn't have change and ask chand . chand looks into her purse and finds tht her 50 rupee note is missing and she gets down frm the rick.

She walks all the way and keeps thinking bout sheeba and conversation they had at the party.

She cums home and sees beeji on the bed with romeo and doc. Romeo tells chand tht why the hell did she allow beeji to go to shirdi in this age. She shud take care of her.

Doc says tht due to tiredness she got fever and it wud be cured soon. When chand ask bout the fees ,doc says tht romeo already paid it. He writes sum medicines and chand wonders how she will get the mesicine as she has no money left with her.

Sheeba gets a call frm a neighbour and is shocked to here tht chand came to her house finding her. She hangs up and calls sumone else.

Beeji wakes up and ask chand tht whe she got late. Chand tells her everything. She also tell tht she has given all the incentive to prashant. Beeji tells tht she is really proud of her.

Beeji then tells her tht she need not worry bout the money as she has 400 rs ..which she saved b4. chand gets very happy. Beeji then gives her the Prasad. The paper in which the Prasad was there had sheeba's photograph. Chand sees it and gets reaaly happy.

In the office chand gets a call frm romeo who is giving galiyan to adi as he hasn't given her leave and adi hears it with everyone else as speaker was on.

Chand gives tht photo of sheeba to ami.

Jan 18 update by charmingal:

The show starts out with Beeji lying down on the bed suffering from fever. Chandni is by her side and taking care of her. Beeji asks Chandni to go look for sheeba and not worry about her health. Chandni says to her that she can't leave her in this condition. She tells beeji that now she is her beeji (sounds so odd when I write it like this).

Meanwhile Aditya is speaking to Vishesh. He assures Vishesh that in his absense the discipline at india calling will remain the same and that everything will work out fine. Vishesh is surprised and asks Adi when did he grow up? Adi smiles sweetly (loved it) and tells Vishesh to come back fast. Vishesh smile, but then Adi tells him that he won't be able to act like the responsible good guy for long and thats why wants Vishesh to come home.

Adi ends the call with Vishesh and soon after recieves a call from Chandni. Chandni wants a leave from office that evening since beeji isn't well. Adi tells her that even though he understands Chandni's concern for her beeji, IC is highly understaffed and that he cannot spare chandni for the evening. Chandni tells him that she's serious and that her beeji really is unwell. Adi tells her that he believes her but he cannot do anything. He asks her to come to the office and report to him.

Chandni gives Beeji her food and reminds her of her medicines. She apologises for her having to goto work when Beeji is so ill, but Beeji tells her that its alright. Chandni leaves Amy's phone number with Beeji and leaves.

In the office Smita showes Meher(sorry guys I forgot her name in IC) a perfume that she bought for her sister. Meher asks her about her house ka deposit. Smita changes the topic and asks Meher about her share. Meanwhile, Varun is listening in on their conversation and Meher asks Varun what he will do with the money he got. He tells her that he hasn't decided and looks meaningfully at Smita (do I detect a pairing here?)Amy comes and showes them an article in a magasine that tells how to relax. Chandni joins them and shows Amy a photo of sheeba. She tells Amy that she has to go report to Adi and leaves the photo with Amy. The photo is from a magasine and the name of the photographer is written below- Jimmy.

Chandni goes to Adi's office and asks him why he has called her. He tells her that he knows her beeji is unwell but that does not mean that chandni will show up at work with a bad mood. He then goes into some mombo jombo about being there in body but not mind in the office. He tells chandni not to sulk in the office the entire day and asks her to smile. She does and he dismisses her. (why the sudden hostility?)

Anyways- Chandni goes out and Amy tells her that she has found out the number of Jimmy. Amy's phone rings and she picks up. She tells chandni its for her and chandu prays that nothing is wrong with beeji. Before she can put the phone to her ear Adi comes and snatches it and reminds chandni that there shouldn't be a phone in the hub area. He then says "Lets hear which romeo calls you up?" He puts the person on loud speaker and its romeo on the other end.

Romeo is very angry and tells chandni to tell her chikna boss that he doesn't have a bheja. When he knows her beeji is so ill then how come her didn't give her a holiday. Everyone in the hub is snickering. Furthermore Romeo tells chandni that he has pehchaan with gundaa's and he can give Adi kharcha paani. Chandni tells romeo to take care of Beeji and quickly says not to say anything more. After a few more insults to Adi, Adi finally cuts the line. Everyone is busy laughing.

Adi asks Chandni if that she how she thinks of him. She tells him yes. She also tells him that if he wants people to respect him then he will have to prove how nice he is.

Chandni return home and Beeji is shouting at Romeo for causing havoc in Chandu's office. Chandni laughs and says everything is fine. She asks Romeo what he called Adi and romeo tells her- Chikna, which means a really air headed guy. Chandni asks him what he will call Beeji, and romeo says- Bindaas.

Chandni reaches the set of Jimmy. There the watchman doesn't allow her to go in, but when he turns, Chandni sneaks in. She see's all the models and people around and remembers how mini di had told her to come to Mumbai once. She drops some lights in her day dream and everyone gathers around. The photographer- Jimmy asks her to leave and she urgently tells him if he knows sheeba. He shows her the photo from the magasine. He looks at the photo and then at Chandu and says that he doesn't remember every model who's photo he has taken.

Chandni is disappointed and leaves, while Jimmy calls up Sheeba. Chandu is standing at the bus stop remembering her meetings with Sheeba and lost in thoughts. Suddenly a car pulls up before her and the window is rolled down. Sheeba is sitting in the car. She tells chandni that she has heard that Chandu is looking for her all over Mumbai.

Tomorrow: Amy is asking Chandni how she is sure Sheeba knows anything about her sister. Maybe she doesn't know anything about Minidi at all. Chandni denies and says that the way she referred to the earings and the way she followed her till her house, she is sure Sheeba has something to do with minidi. And then suddenly Chandni bolts upright. She tells amy that suddenly she has realised what connection Sheeba might have with Minidi.

What connection is this? Was Minidi also a model? Or was she sheeba's roomate? A PG at the house that sheeba pays the rent of, or maybe Sheeba's friend? What connection does Minidi have with India calling? Or sheeba? Well we'll just have to wait to find out.

Meanwhile, untill another update- this is rids saying Taklia!

Jan 19 update by viduraju:

Start of episode

Sheeba and Chandini are sitting silently in the car as it is going and then Ravee asks Chandini why she is doing jasoosi and why is she searching all over Mumbai for her. Chandini says it is because that night in the party, you told me that you knew a girl who wore the same earrings as mine and then you followed me to my house. That means that you definitely know something about my Minididi. Sheeba irritatedly says that she doesn't know any Manisha and tells Chandini never to cross her path or else. She then asks the driver to stop the car and tells Chandini to get out. Chandini slowly gets out and stares as the car drives away.


Beeji is rearranging things in a suitcase when Chandini walks in. Beeji then takes out a cloth where one joda of a golden payal is kept. Beeji takes out the payal and shows it to Chandini telling her if she remembers that Baisakhi time when she had made that payal for Manisha and Chandini had taken the whole house on her head and sulked the whole day because she hadn't been given any payal. Chandini goes into flashback where the young Manisha is happily swinging on the jhula and dangling her feet so that the chan chan of the payal are heard and young Chandini is sulking on the steps behind. Manisha catches sight of Chandini and asks her to join her, but Chandini refuses. Manisha then goes upto Chand, sits next to her and asks her what the matter is. When Chandini doesn't reply, Manisha guesses that Chandini is jealous about her payal. She tells Chandini that why she is upset because Beeji had given her payal and Chandini kangan. But Chandini says that kangan don't make the same chan chan sound as the payal. Manisha is exasperated, but as the good loving elder sister, she removes her payal and puts it on Chandini's feet. Chandini is very happy and then both the girls start chasing each other and swing on the jhoola. Chandini comes back to the present and Beeji sadly tells her that now both the other joda of the payal and the wearer of the payal is missing. Chandini tells her that the missing payal will come calling to the pukar of its joda.


In IC, Smitha is walking in when she notices a wrapped gift which has her name on it. She is surprised and looks around, but no one is present. She unwraps the gift to find it is a beautiful kundan set ( necklace and earrings ). A voice then says, did u like the gift and Smitha turns around to find Varun. She is very angry at him and shouts at him, saying what do you want to prove by this gift. First you make fun in front of the whole office and then now you want to taunt me about my financial position by giving me this expensive gift. What do you mean by this gesture, Mr. Varun Kumar? Saying this, she walks off in a huff and poor Varun is left staring at her.


All the other employees troop in and work goes on. Ami is sitting with Chandini and both are discussing about Sheeba. Ami tells her that maybe there is no connection between Mini didi and Sheeba at all, but Chandini says her instinct is telling her so. Ami says that maybe it is just your imagination and Chandini says it is not when suddenly she gives a start. She remembers seeing Manisha's missing payal on Sheeba's hand. She excitedly tells Ami that she now knows the connection between Manisha and Sheeba.


Work goes on till break. Chandini comes upto Ami to borrow her phone and goes out. Smitha and Varun are the last people left after everyone go out. Smitha catches sight of Varun looking at her, stares angrily at him and walks off and bechara Varun sits dejected in his chair. Then Adi comes by and teasingly asks him that work should be done during work time, but everybody has to take a break. Varun just looks at him and Adi says in a dramatic voice, that now I'm the boss and you better listen to him. Varun smiles half heartedly and Adi tells him that during office hours, I'm your boss, but offtime I'm your friend. Varun then tells Adi that he needs his help.


Chandini dials Sheeba's number and Sheeba who is in some fancy hotel picks up and is irritated to hear Chandini's voice again. She again reminds Chandini never to call her again, but Chandini insists on meeting Sheeba, saying she is stubborn and won't give up until then. Finally Sheeba relents and asks her to come now. Chandini is surprised and says not at 12:30 in the night! Sheeba says now or never and Chandini thinks for a moment and says that she will be there in half an hour.


Varun is sitting with Adi in his office and tells him that Smitha refused to accept his gift. Adi tells him that any girl in Smitha's position would have reacted in the same way. He then teasingly asks Varun if he has any feelings for Smitha. Varun scoffs at the idea, saying that he is sorry about the letter wala episode and now he just wants to make up with her. Adi again asks him if that is all or is there something more. Varun says embarrassedly, that if he doesn't know any solution, then he can solve the problem on his own. Adi says that he rocks and that he has already solved the mystery of woman. He stops short and stares off ( most probably thinking of Chandini ) and then says, well almost……..


Jenny is shocked that Chandini wants to go out so late in the night, but then realizes that Chandini is not going to listen to her. She says that going in an auto is quite dangerous so late in the night, but says she will try to help out. She comes back and says that she has arranged the driver and car for her, but she should be back quickly or she will get into trouble. Chandini thanks Jenny and goes off and Jenny worriedly makes the sign of the cross.


Chandini reaches the hotel, doesn't find Sheeba there and thinks to herself that she is late by 10 minutes. She asks the manager if there was anybody waiting there and the manager says that he saw a lady waiting for quite some time, but now he doesn't know where she is. Chandini is very disappointed and frustrated and says that Sheeba had finally agreed to meet me, but I have failed again. Now how can I find Mini didi when suddenly a voice says Chandini. Chandini turns around to find Sheeba. ( she is wearing a black dress and we can see the missing payal as a bracelet on her shoulder ) Sheeba asks her what she wants and Chandini tells her that she wants to speak about her sister. Sheeba is irritated that Chandini is going on harping about the same topic. Finally in exasperation she asks Chandini for the name of her sister. When Chandini says Manisha Kapoor, Sheeba tells her that whether she wore the same earrings as Chandini and when Chandini excitedly says yes, she says that she had met her at some party for just 10 – 15 minutes. Chandini asks her if she knows where Mini didi is now and Sheeba thinks for a second and says no. Chandini accuses Sheeba of lying and Sheeba says how dare you, you little…….. Chandini tells her to continue whatever she was going to say, and again tells Sheeba that she is lying. Sheeba gets very defensive saying that why doesn't Chandini understand that she doesn't know anything about manisha. Doesn't she understand Hindi or should she explain in some other language. Chandini angrily says that what I don't understand is if you don't know Manisha, then how come ( catching Sheeba by the shoulder and taking out the other joda of the payal from her bag ) you have the joda of my payal on your shoulder??? Sheeba is shocked and stares at Chandini.

End of episode

Preview of next episode: Aditya comes excitedly into the hub and tells everyone that a US delegation is coming the next day, they have to organize a party and he wants everybody's suggestions. Then probably realizing that Chandini is missing, he asks, 'Where is Chandini?' Chandini excitedly tells Beeji that she had met Sheeba the previous evening and that she was wearing the missing payal and Beeji turns around shocked. Sheeba tells Chandini, that fine, I know where Manisha Kapoor is!


Yay! One more potential love story btw Varun and Smitha to add some more spice. I'm guessing that probably Adi and Chandini will help them get together. I just hope that Adi doesn't get furious at Chandini for coming back late bringing things back to square one. I wish, I wish, I wish............. Oh heck! I just wish that Monday were here soon so I can watch the next episode! Till then take care guys!

Jan 23 update by viduraju:

Chandini asks Sheeba how she got the payal. Sheeba refuses to tell her, and then Chandini asks her to remove it from her shoulder. Sheeba reluctantly does so and Chandini notices the name Manisha on it. She gets very happy and tells Sheeba, but Sheeba says that the name Manisha is very common. Chandini with tears in her eyes tells Sheeba that we both know that you are trying to convert truth into lies. She says that if you lie, you will get nothing, but if you tell me the truth, you will be doing a very big ehsaan for me. Sheeba looks at her for few minutes, and finally says, Fine, I know your Mini didi aka Manisha Kapoor. Chandini is thrilled and asks her if she knows where she is now. But Sheeba tells her that she doesn't know, rather she knew Manisha. She had met Manisha in a shoot a couple of years back. Manisha had come to her and sold her payal because she needed money. Chandini is dejected to hear this and tells Sheeba if she knows nothing more. Sheeba tells her she doesn't and warns Chandini to stop her useless interrogation and also never to try to contact her again.

A dejected Chandini walks back to the van and is shocked to see that the driver is missing. She leans against the van and replays her conversation with Sheeba. She is also worried that she has been away from the office so late and by now everybody will surely know that she is missing and if Adi finds out……….. Her worried thoughts are interrupted by the driver who has come back. Chandini scolds him for going away when she had given him strict instructions to stay near the van as it is so late and it is unsafe for her to stand alone. The irritated driver informs her that he had just gone to get tea.


Adi who is speaking with Vishesh gets up from his seat and says, What???!!!! Vishesh says that all he has to do is to organize a welcome party for the US delegation which he will be bringing tomorrow. Adi is very worried and says he cannot do it. Vishesh tells him that the matter is very simple and reminds Adi about his promise to look after things in his absence. Adi says that until now he has never taken any decisions without consulting Vishesh, but Vishesh says that if he keeps holding on to his fingers, then how can he grow up and take decisions on his own. He says that I will see you tomorrow and puts down the phone. Adi is totally tensed and drops back to the seat and holds his head in frustration.

In the hub, Varun is asking everybody to listen to his jokes, but Smitha tells him they have no time for his phaalthu jokes. Varun anyway goes on and tells one about a real estate agent visiting Yamraj and swarg and narak and something like that. Everybody laughs when he finishes, but Smitha is still staring angrily at Varun. Bechara Varun's smile also fades off.

Just then Adi comes into the hub and tells everybody he needs their help. Everybody looks at him in surprise. He says that a US delegation is coming to visit them the next day and they have to give a wonderful party to welcome them, so he needs everybody's suggestions. Varun suggests having a Bollywood theme party, as they love Bollywood films. Kabir suggests having it in a 5 star hotel so that they don't have to do anything. Amy suggests a champagne and cheese party so that they won't know the difference in atmosphere between India and US. Just then Kavitha puts up her hand timidly and tells Adi she too has a suggestion. Everybody looks at her exasperatedly thinking she will tell one of her dumb ideas again. She says that when her father had to welcome foreign delegations, they always gave a traditional Indian welcome because the foreigners love these kind of welcomes. Everybody loves her suggestion and Adi is ready to hug her out of sheer happiness, but she gets scared and mentions her bf. Adi then wonders how they will go about it and who has experience in these kind of matters. Suddenly he catches sight of Chandini's desk with the Matharani idol and his face lights up. He asks everybody where is Chandini and Kabir says she has been gayab for quite some time. Amy interrupts hurriedly and says that she was just here, but left to get aspirin as she had a splitting headache. Adi gives orders that when she comes back, she has to meet him and goes away.

Chandini is sitting in the van when a call comes on the driver's mobile. He picks it up and hands it to Chandini. It is from Jenny who worriedly asks her where she is as she had said she will be back shortly and already 2 hours have passed. The phone is then taken by Amy who tells her to come quickly as Adi is asking for her. Chandini gets really tensed and says she will come in just 5 minutes. She puts down the phone and tells the driver to hurry.

Chandini is hurriedly entering the office when she bumps into Aditya ( ooooooooh, why doesn't her kismat come to us! ). Both stare at each other and Chandini thinking that Adi has come to know about her disappearance and is going to shout at her tells him that she is very tired and in no mood to fight with him. Adi is surprised and says that he just wants a big favour from her. Chandini looks up in shock. Adi tells her that a US delegation is coming to IC tomorrow with Vishesh and that they need to give them a grand welcome. Kavitha suggested a traditional Indian welcome, but he doesn't know how to organize such things, but Chandini must surely have experience. Chandini is still staring at him. He then says pleadingly with that heart melting puppy dog expression, that at least not for him, can she please do it for IC. Chandini smiles shyly and nods. Adi says great and tells her to meet him in the canteen.

In the canteen, everybody is gathered around and Varun tells he will tell a shayari. Smitha doesn't want to listen at all, but Kavitha catches hold of his arm and tells him to go on as she thinks shayaris are so romantic. Varun proceeds to tell a shayari on the Tajmahal and when he finishes, everybody claps except Smitha who is sitting stone faced. Adi then enters followed by Chandini and Amy and tells everybody to start brainstorming as Chandini has also joined them now.

The brainstorming session begins with full josh. Chandini suggests that they should have a lot of flowers. Someone suggests putting tilak and arti and there is a discussion on who will do it. Kavitha volunteers, but Kabir says she will do it wrong and Adi says that Chandini will do it. There is a suggestion about garlands and Amy volunteers to take care of it. Kavitha volunteers to take care of the refreshments and there is another discussion on the beverages. Lassi, Amras, …., etc. are voted out and then Kavitha suggests badam milk. Varun says it is a mind blowing suggestion and wonders if the day is ok as now there are two wonderful ideas by Kavitha. Adi wonders where they will get it and Chandini suggests Mustapha's milk dairy. Everybody agrees and the discussion continues animatedly, but Chandini is only thinking of Sheeba telling her that she had met Manisha at a photo shoot and that she had come to sell her payal.

In the morning, there is again a water shortage in the chawl. One lady tauntingly says that it is republic day on 26th and this had to happen. Beeji who is standing behind two ladies worriedly asks them when the water will come again, but the ladies reply that only the Municipal Corporation can tell them. Beeji says that she has stored 2 buckets of water and is worriedly walking back when Chandini comes up to her and tells Beeji. Beeji worriedly tells Chandini to be careful and judicious in her use of water as there is a water cross and is again walking away when Chandini says that Manisha's missing payal was with Sheeba. Beeji turns around shocked and exclaims, What! Chandini tells her that she met Sheeba the previoius evening and is telling her the story. The scene then shifts to Sheeba who is sitting on the floor in a darkened apartment. She is conversing with someone and telling that no matter whatever I say or do, Chandini is a very stubborn girl. She kept pestering me and I had to finally meet her and then she was going on asking me questions. I had to tell her a lie that Manisha sold the payal and I think she believes it, but if she meets me again and pesters me, then the truth will slip out. Then we can see the silohouette of a lady who is resting sideways on the floor. She is wearing a low cut black dress and is smoking a cigarette. Then Sheeba says that they have to get rid of this problem called Chandini. The lady in black then dangles the same golden payal from her hand which has Manisha written on it!


End of episode

Preview of next episode: Chandini is standing outside Mustapha's milk dairy which seems to be closed. She thinks to herself worriedly that how they will manage to get the badam milk now. Everybody was counting on her and because of her, the welcome will be ruined. Just then she is shocked to see a tall, hefty goonda in front of her who hands her money and tells her to book 2 return tickets back to Jalandhar. He tells that if she ever crosses Sheeba's path again, he will make life hell for her and the old budiya ( i.e. Beeji )

Jan 24 update by viduraju:

In the chawl, Chandini who can't see properly because she has a face pack on asks Beeji that she wants water. Beeji comes and is surprised to find the 2 buckets of water which had stored missing. Just then Mukund's mother comes upto her and asks to borrow some water as somebody has stolen water from their house. Another woman also pokes her face out of her house and says the same thing. Beeji says what sort of a city is this where people steal water. Just then Romeo comes with a bucket of water each for Beeji and mrs. Godbole. He catches sight of Chandini who is still standing and teasingly asks her is that how she is going to present herself in front of the foreigners. He tells her to go in a jhakaas manner because it is India's reputation at sake. Romeo then informs Beeji and Mukund's mother that Damle Bhai has come and that they should meet with him.

Damle Bhai is standing outside and telling all the chawl people that whether they have any complaints. Romeo comes there along with Beeji and Mrs. Godbole saying that they have a problem. How come their wells are dry when Damle Bhai has full water. Damle informs them that they have to pay the water tax to a man who is standing there. Mrs. Godbole tells that they had paid the money only last month and everybody realizes that Damle must have pocketed most of it. Damle takes out a list and says that Prem and Vidya owe Rs. 450, Mrs. Godbole Rs. 500, Romeo 650 and Chandini Kapoor rs. 750. Everybody is shocked and Beeji says that they have come barely 2 months and how could they get so much tax. Damle informs her that the previous tenant had not paid the money and therefore they have to pay that as well. He further announces to everybody that unless they pay the tax, water is not going to come. He leaves amid loud protests.

Beeji is angrily pacing the room while Chandini is getting dressed. Chandini tells her that now even Beeji has become a part of this city as without thinking she just leaped into the Mahabharat. Beeji tells her it is the values and valour of Punjab which is rising up in her. Whenever they see wrong things happening, they have to rise up to solve it. Chandini tells her to let it be and shows Beeji a wad of money saying she has lots of money, but it is not hers. Beeji is surprised at the amount and Chandini tells her it is the money to get badam milk from Mushtaq Bhai. Just then a boy comes and informs Chandini that the Ic driver has come and has been honking for quite some time. Chandini looks at her watch worriedly and tells Beeji she has to leave as Mushtaq Bhai's dairy closes by 7. She tells Beeji to not worry too much as her BP will go up, to not get involved in the chawl's Mahabharat and to have dinner.

Everbody at IC are busy decorating the office with flowers when Kavitha goes upto Varun and asks him about a broker who knows of cheap houses in Bandra because her friend wanted one. Smitha all the while is looking hopefully at them. Varun glancing at Smitha assures Kavitha that the houses are half the rate and good as well. Just then Adi comes and worriedly demands to know where Chandini is. Amy hurriedly says that she stopped by Mushtaq's dairy to get badam milk and therefore she must be late because of heavy traffic. Adi looks at his watch and tells she better come fast as Vishesh's plane is to land soon. He leaves and Amy stares worriedly.

Chandini is standing outside Mushtaq's milk dairy and is dismayed to find it is already closed. She thinks to herself what will she tell the others and the whole welcome will get spoiled because of her. Suddenly she sees a big hefty goonda standing in front of her and is shocked. The goonda says that she better not trouble Sheeba anymore and thrusts a ticket in her hand saying it is a one way ticket to Jalandhar and if she or her Beeji are seen in Mumbai again, he will harm them. He leaves and Chandini stares after him in shock.

A tensed Chandini walks slowly into IC where she is met by a worried Amy who asks her that she can't cover up for her everytime and that Adi was also asking for her. Everybody comes upto her and asks her where is the badam milk as they have to welcome the guests with that. Chandini is wondering what to tell them. Just then Adi comes in and tells that Vishesh's plane has landed and the delegation is expected to arrive in 10 minutes. He congratulates everyone on a job well done and tells that now all they have to is to pour the milk into glasses and everything will be set. He leaves and Chandini thinks to herself that how will she tell the truth to Adi. He won't believe if she says there was water shortage in the chawl and that is why her day went bad, how can she tell him that Mushtaq Bhai's dairy was closed before she could get there or that she was threated by a goonda? She catches sight of the Matharani idol and prays before it. Just then Jenny comes and tells her that somebody has come to meet her. Chandini goes to the reception area and is very surprised and happy to see Mushtaq Bhai. Mushtaq Bhai tells her that her Dadiji had told him about the order and that he has bought the badam milk. There was nobody to help him out and so he himself bought it to IC. Chandini profusely thanks him, but Mushtaq Bhai says it is only his duty. Chandini hands him the money and he leaves.

Everybody is anxiously waiting for the delegation when Adi comes in and announces that they have arrived. Everybody hurriedly take up their positions near the entrance to welcome them. Chandini is standing first with the teeka, Ami next to her with the garlands, Kavitha next to her with flowers and then Smitha and the rest. Vishesh comes around the corner followed by 3 foreigners. Vishesh is pointing out everything and the foreigners are looking at everything with interest. Kabir is thinking that just like before independence, now also they are standing to welcome these phirangees and he wonders what sort of news have they brought along. The welcome starts with full gusto. Chandini applies teeka, Amy garlands them, Kavitha throws flowers. The foreigners like everything and shake hands heartily. Smitha serves them badam milk and one of the foreigners ( I presume it is the leader ) compliments Vishesh on the welcome preparations and says it is very nice. Everybody claps and then he says that they have come here to join hands with IC so that they can make the BPO one of the best and take it to the top. He goes on but Chandini is lost in her own thoughts about the goonda and Mushtaq Bhai's words. She comes back to the present with a start when everybody starts clapping after the foreigner finishes his speech.

Chandini and Amy are walking when Chandini tells Amy that she needs a 2 favours from her. One is that she should cover up for her for 2 hours and the second is to find out where she can meet Sheeba.

Chandini is in a modeling agency where the receptionist tells her that the models will be coming out of soon. Just then the elevator door opens and Sheeba comes out with 2 other models discussing whether they should go out for pizza. She catches sight of Chandini and is shocked. She tells the other models to wait outside. A determined Chandini walks upto her and tells her that if you think I will quit so easily, you are mistaken. Any of your empty threats won't make me turn back. Whenever I have faced obstacles, they have only made my resolve stronger. Sheeba asks her if she is mad. Chandini informs her that her loved ones are much more important to her than life itself and she that she had made a vow before leaving Jalandhar that she would return only after bringing back her sister. Sheeba taunts her and says that your big dialogues are just an excuse to cover up your fear. Chandini tells her that in Jalandhar, my father would close the doors by 6 pm and I was myself scared to go out in the dark. But now the city of Mumbai and people like you have changed me. Now I ventured out in the dark at 2:30 just to meet you at the hotel and again today I am doing so. I am no longer the same darpok Chandini. She turns to Sheeba and gives the ticket back to her along with a piece of paper telling her it is her phone number. Sheeba will one day understand the agony of being separated from a sister and the day when she will realize that, this number will come in handy. She walks away and Sheeba stares after her.

End of episode

Preview of next episode: Kabir tells everybody at IC that the meeting between the IC management and the foreigners has been going on for 4 hours and god knows what announcement they will spring upon them. Amy says that they can do anything, just let them not cut their pay packets. Smitha is dismayed on hearing this. Varun tells Adi that he along with all the other IC employees represent the aam janta and everybody is praying that the merger not take place as they are worried about their rozi - roti. Sheeba calls up Chandini and tells her that she will take her to meet Manisha tomorrow. Chandini is very happy to hear this.

Jan 25 update by charmingal:

The show starts with Chandni coming out of Sheeba's house with tears in her eyes. She gets very emotional and thanks mata rani for being with her. She says that unless the Godesses blessings weren't with her she wouldn't have been able to face Sheeba.

Beeji is coming out of her house when she faces Romeo. She asks him what he is doing up so early. He tells her the same thing she is, waiting for water information. Beeji tells him she's very worried about the 750 rupees that they'll have to pay for water. She tells him already chandni has so many responsibilities on her head and now added resp of this money. Romeo offers to help her out by asking his boss for the rupees.Beeji declines by saying that romeo has helped them out enough already. Romeo says that people from small towns are too proudy and that in mumbai if you need help then you have to ask. Beeji smiles and tells him to find out if the water is there.

Everyone else in the chawl are very haggered by the problem. Sunita catches some female stealing her water. She has to prepare dubba's and send them and she scolds the female. she tells her that she has paid for the water and now it got stole. She's shouting at the woman when beeji enters. The woman says that her son is unwell with fever. Whole night she was giving him cold compress and her hands have swolen because of it and her son needs the water. Mukund enters with water and sunita tells mukund to give one bucket to the lady.

Adi and vishesh are nervously looking at the foreign delegates. Adi says that he is impressed with them. Vishesh tells him that they are playing with words. They haven't come to india to give speech. He tells Adi he can guess what steps they'll take to ensure that India calling works according to them. He says that the foreigners are only playing with words so that when they speak to vishesh finally he cannot deny anything.

Outside everybody is nervous. Kavita says that if some of them are shifted to a call center in US then it'll be fun. She will be with her bf. Kabir says nothing like this will happen. If the merger happens then some of them will get the pinkslip and they will be asked to go. They'll then have to find a job in India and no america. Smita gets very nervous and Varun tells kabir to think positive sometimes, it doesn't take tax for that. Varun then tells smita to not get worried or take Kabir seriously. Smita tells him to keep his advise to himself and not irritate her.

Varun then says he can make a guess at what'll happen and he thinks it'll affect them all. Chandni returns and Amy tells her that she took too long. Chandni tells her that it was important for her to meet sheeba. She tells amy that sheeba will have to eventually tell her about minidi. She tells amy that she has given sheeba her no and asks if its ok. Amy says it is and she doesn't have to ask her for permission. (ha?!?!? Since when did they become best friends?)

Sheeba tells the woman in black that chandni will not give up easily. She even gave the tickets back and she wasn't scared by the threat. She tells The woman that Chandni will not leave untill she finds manisha kappor. She says she can't do anything and is confused.

Meanwhile, The foreigners are busy scanning the laptops. He looks at vishesh and asks that so many ppl work for you? Vishesh says that they work in two shifts of eight hours. The foreinger says that so many ppl can fill a football stadium. He then asks for their revenue reports and vishesh points to a file. Adi gets a sms from varun and adi reads it. Varun's message asks abt the merger and meeting. Vishesh asks Adi what is more important than the meeting. Adi excuses himself and tells vishesh that come gadbad is here in the hub.

Varun meets Adi in his office. He asks Adi if something is decided. Adi says no. Varun is shocked tht after four hours they've not decided anything. Adi tells Varun to relax. He tells Varun that IC may go through some operational changes. They may have a name change or change in other stratergy. Nothing major. Varun says that ppl outside, the ordinary ppl of Ic are worried about their salary.?Jenny is standing outside and hearing all of this.

In the canteen everyone is discussing what's going to happen with the new merger. Kabir says either their salary will be cut or they'll be given the pink slip. Smita is worried that they alreayd get very little salary. What will she do if its cut more. Amy says whatever and is not too bothered. Chandni says that if they're working properly then they shouldn't be fired. Bascically discussion chalta hai. Jenny comes and tells them what she heard. Chandni gets angry over change of name. Meanwhile Varun enters the canteen and chandni asks him abt name change. Varun says yeah maybe, but that wouldn't matter. If India calling became US calling, work will remain work.

Then chandni asks him where he's from. He says bihar and everyone starst laughing. Chandni says even though ppl laughed at you would you change your state name? Varun says no that he;s proud of his state. Then she asks Smita if for money she would change her name. Smita says she will need the money but she won't change her name. chandni says that same way, she's proud to be indian and that india calling's name shouldn't be change. Adi comes in and he asks chandni why she is doing nara of india. Amy gets a call on the cell and she signals chandu. Chandni says to adi that she;s only sharing her opinion and then goes to attend the call.

Its sheeba and she tells chandni to meet her the next day at 10:30 and chandni would finally meet her sister. Chandni is excited and tells amy. Both give a funny expreassion and the episode ends.

Tomorrow: Everyone is worried about their salary and the merger. Vishesh has called everyone two hours early the next day for a major annoucement.

Adi and vishesh are at home and vishesh tells Adi that the merger will affect everyone at IC.

What will happen? Will Chandu meet her sister? Will she get fired? Handed the pink slip? Or will they cut her salary? How will they solve the water problem? One way to find out. Tomorrow's episode.

Untill another update: Me rids signing off.

Jan 26 update by viduraju:

Chandini happily tells Amy that it is a very important day for both India as well as herself. For India, because it is Republic day and for her because she can meet her Mini didi as it is a holiday. Amy says that there is no holiday today. Chandini is shocked, and Amy tells her that the government has given special permission to call centers to keep working on Republic day. Varun confirms this and says that they have no holidays for Indian special occasions like Holi, Diwali, for that matter even Independence day while they have holidays for American occassions like New Year, Christmas, July 4th and Thanksgiving. Just then the office boy comes in and says that Vishesh sir has told everyone to come 2 hours earlier for work as he has an important announcement to make. Everybody gets really tensed. Amy asks worriedly as to what announcement they will make. Kabir says sarcastically that once again the time has come to bow down in front of these phirangees. Varun says, Goodbye India Calling, Hello Uncle Sam. Smitha who is hearing all this suddenly gets up and goes out. Then the office boy comes and tells Chandini that Smitha has got chakkar and has fainted in the bathroom. Everyone is shocked and go to help her.

Chandini, Amy, Kavitha and Varun lead a weak Smitha to a table in the canteen. Smitha is totally depressed and tells that she is sure that inside at the meeting, they are announcing the names of the employees who have to leave and that her name is on top of the list. Varun says that is not true, but Smitha snaps at him telling him not to give her false hopes. She is sure of it and if such a thing happens what will she do and where will she go? Everybody are upset on hearing this and Varun says loyally that they are all there for support. Chandini then thinks to herself that she has become so much a part of IC and so close to all these people. She will never get friends like them. How come she was not aware of this till now? She is faced with a doubt as to how she can leave her friends in such a crisis and go and meet Manisha.

A worried Chandini is walking into a chawl where there is a festive atmosphere on the occasion of Republic day. Beeji is handing flags to all the children. She sees Chandini and asks her what is the matter. Chandini tells her that she got a call from Sheeba who told her she would take her to meet Manisha. Beeji is ecstatic at the news and asks Chandini as to why she is still worried. Chandini tells her that she is faced with a difficult decision at this point of time and Beeji tells her that whatever decision she makes, she should do it soch – samajke.

Vishesh is sitting tensed at his house when Adi comes and concernedly asks him what is wrong. Vishesh is telling him that he is pondering the decision of changing the name of IC. If they do so, then they will get 5 million dollars extra which can ensure that they can give their employees better salaries, and take IC to the top . Adi's face lights up at this and tells him not to get influenced by some employees who don't want the name to be changed. But Vishesh says that their wish is his wish too. But Adi reminds that 5 million dollars can change the atmosphere of IC and put it on the global map. Vishesh slowly agrees to this and says that now is not the time for personal egos and probably they should also change with the wind.

In the chawl, Damle Bhai hoists the flag and wishes everybody a very happy Republic day. He says that so what if there is no water, at least we can celebrate with sweets. All this while, Romeo is fiddling with a water hose. Mrs. Godbole tells Beeji that if the water comes, then many of their problems will be solved. Beeji agrees and thanks her once again for giving her a job. She requests Mrs. Godbole not to tell this to Chandini, but Chandini overhears it and asks Beeji what she is hiding. But Beeji puts her off and tells her that she was only telling Mrs. Godbole how proud she is of her granddaughter. Just then Romeo is hit by a spray of water from the hose and he shouts jubilantly to everyone that water has come. Everybody are thrilled and run towards the water pipe and start filling the buckets. When before, everybody was stingily conserving water, now everybody are spraying each other with water and dancing. Chandini who is observing all this tells Beeji that the water which has come so suddenly on Republic day is a sign for her and therefore she has made up her mind that tonight she will meet Manisha. Beeji is very happy and hugs Chandini. Chandini then runs to join the boisterous crowd where she dances the Bhangra, goes around in circles with mukund and just revels in standing in the water spray. Beeji and Mrs. Godbole look on fondly.


Sheeba who is getting ready tells the mystery lady that in half in hour she is meeting Chandini.

Chandini who is wearing an orange suit in honour of Republic day knocks on Vishesh's door and requests him to grant her half an hour leave on account of some personal emergency. Vishesh is not too happy to hear this and tells Chandini to get her priorities straight – whether her personal troubles are more important or her job and her duty.

Vishesh is walking with the foreigners when Warren ( the leader ) tells Vishesh that they are only asking him to change the name of IC and for that he is getting 5 million dollars so why is he hesitating. They then catch sight of the hub where every desk is decorated with an Indian flag. Vishesh is happy to see this, but Warren enquires as to what all this is. Vishesh informs him that today is their Republic day, but Warren scoffs at it saying that all this is a waste of time when they could have been working. In their profession, they are just doing business and there is no time for emotion. Vishesh is all the while looking strangely at him and then Warren orders him to call all the employees in the hub as he has an announcement to make.

All the employees are sitting in the canteen where the TV is relaying news of the Republic Day at Janpath. Chandini tells Amy that when she meets Manisha, she has no idea what to say. But then she wonders as to how she will manage to sneak out of the office. Just then the office boy comes and tells them that Vishesh sir is calling them all to the hub. Everybody is tensed and are walking out when suddenly Chandini turns around because the national anthem is being played on TV. Chandini starts singing the anthem and a surprised Adi sees everybody joining in. Everybody are singing with patriotic fervour when Vishesh and the foreigners come in and stare in surprise. Vishesh also joins in and the foreigners look irritated. When the anthem finishes, Vishesh starts talking. He first of all apologizes for calling all of them 2 hours earlier. All of them must surely be aware of what is going on. They have been asked to change the name of IC and for this they are being offered 50 million dollars which will probably change their lives. Everybody is looking tensed at his. Vishesh then continues that he has decided that he will……………not change the name of IC. Warren looks at him in shock and asks him if he is sure. Vishesh says that he is 1000% sure. He furthermore tells everyone that nobody will lose their jobs, but their work will be under observation for the next 2 weeks. Everybody is immensely relieved and very happy to hear this, including Adi. Vishesh says that the employees sincerity, their commitment to work and the patriotic fervour that he just saw now prompted him to take this decision. He then looks at Chandini and gives her permission to go out for half an hour and leaves. Everybody gather and are excitedly talking. Chandini thinks to herself that today is the day when my path will change completely.

Start of episode

Everybody at IC are at a jubilant mood and office has also been left early. Adi tells everybody to order icecream as a treat. Varun first of all wants a blackcurrent and then some other icecream. Kabir asks for a vanilla icecream and Varun teases him that with so many flavours available, why does he stick to the plain vanilla. Another female orders seethaphal. Amy wants a huge sundae with toasted nuts and lots of chocolate. Just then her phone rings and she picks it up. It is Beeji on the other hand. Amy informs her that Chandini left to meet Sheeba and assures Beeji that she will go home early. She puts down the phone and is surprised to see Chandini who is still there. Amy tells her to hurry and to call Beeji on her phone. Chandini calls, Vidya picks it up and tells Chand that she will go and get Beeji. Beeji arrives with her hands full of flour ( she had been helping Mrs. Godbole ) and tells Vidya to hold the phone for her. Beeji tells Chandini not to fight with Manisha when she says her, rather bring her home immediately so that she can scold Manisha herself. Chandini smilingly assures Beeji that she will not fight and puts down the phone. She asks Amy the direction of the coffeeshop and Amy tells her that the bus 248 goes there and the busstop is 2 minutes away.

Chandini is waiting at the bus stop next to 2 men. Autorickshaws stop by and ask her whether she wants a lift, but chandini thinks that the coffeeshop is just half an hour away and why should she waste money on the auto. She takes out a gold chain with the Matharani idol as a pendant from her bag and remembers that Beeji had given it to her to give to Manisha. Chandini says that this will be the first thing that she will give Manisha on meeting her as it has the aashirwaad of matharani. Then she notices the man next to her staring at the chain and she gets scared, thinking the man is a chor. She slowly puts the chain back in her bag. More and more people queue up, but no bus arrives.

Beeji finishes all the cooking for Mrs. Godbole and packs it in the tiffins. She tells her that she has to also go and prepare besan ladoos for Manisha as she is very fond of them. Just then Vidya comes and asks them if they have an extra gas. Both the ladies shake their head. Vidya says worriedly that her cylinder is exhausted and now when Prem comes back tired, she can't prepare food for him and has to ask him to eat outside even though his stomach gets upset easily. Beeji and Mrs. Godbole look at each other.

Meanwhile at the bus stand, the bus has still not arrived. Just then a man comes and tells everybody that due to a roadblock, no buses will come. Everybody disperses leaving Chandini standing alone. She tries hailing autos, but no autos stop. Finally an auto stops , but he tells Chandini that she has to pay the return fare as well because he won't get any customers from the area. Chandini is reluctant, but because there is no other choice she climbs into the auto.

Beeji gives a tiffin dibba to Vidya who is relieved and thanks the both of them. Beeji tells her that she has to go to prepare besan laddoos for her granddaughter otherwise she will surely get very angry. Vidya is confused and tells her that Chandini never gets angry at all. Beeji clarifies that it is not Chandini but her other granddaughter Manisha. She tells Mrs. Godbole and Vidya that when Chandini and Manisha get together, then they make such a hulla that the whole mohalla will get up. She fondly tells them that when Manisha was born, she was such a fair and beautiful child and there was huge celebrations in the mohalla because Ranjit Kapoor's daughter looked just like her Beeji. Beeji then comes back to the present and scolds Vidya and Mrs. Godbole for engaging her in idle conversation when Chandini has already probably met Manisha and here she has tons of things to get ready.

Chandini tells the autodriver to drive faster as she is in a hurry. The driver says he knows a shortcut which will take them in 10 minutes. However unfortunately they are stopped by a policeman who scolds the autodriver for not seeing a No Entry sign. He orders the driver to pay Rs. 300 as fine. The autodriver asks Chandini to pay the money as she was the one in a hurry. Chandini indignantly tells him that it is his fault, he took them past a No Entry sign and why should she pay the money. The policeman is in no mood to listen and orders them to pay or otherwise the driver has to go to the station.

Chandini decides to call Amy to help her out. She asks the driver to wait for a second while she goes to a Phone booth to call her friend. The driver asks her why she doesn't have a mobile in this age and hands her his mobile! Chandini dials Amy's number. At the same time, Sheeba who is waiting for Chandini in the coffee shop also dials Amy's number, but it comes busy. She gets frustrated. Chandini gets through to Amy and explains her the problem. Amy says not to worry and that she will be there in some time with the money. She also tells Chandini that Sheeba had called and that she better go fast, otherwise Sheeba might get tired and leave. Chandini thanks her and tells the driver that her friend will be coming soon. The driver refuses to let her go saying what if her friend doesn't come. Chandini can't take it anymore and burst into tears saying that she told him she was in a hurry and how does he know the agony of being separated from a loved one. She asks him what he would do if he lost a loved one. The driver and policeman look at each other guiltily and alarmed and the driver tells Chandini to go on and he will wait for her friend. Chandini thanks him and leaves.

Sheeba is waiting for Chandini for a long time. Finally frustrated she tells that she cannot wait for Chandini all night. She pays the bill and leaves.

Meanwhile Chandini is running fast towards her destination with a very tensed expression on her face. Suddenly a car with bright headlights stuns her and she puts her hand in front to ward off the light. The driver of the car yells at her for not seeing properly and lo and behold Sheeba's face pops out of the rear window. Chandini is ecstatic to see Sheeba.

Romeo staggers into Beeji's kitchen loaded with bags. Beeji scolds him for being late, but Romeo takes out a big list and says that she had told him to bring so much saaman and that is why it took time. Looking at the list, He asks Beeji whether Manisha is moti, otherwise how else can she eat all these preparations. Beeji warns not to say anything bad about her Manisha otherwise she will give him such a jhaapad that all his hair which stands up will fall off. Just then Mrs. Godbole comes and tells Beeji that she is her partner in her kitchen and now she has come to assist Beeji. Romeo also puts his hands in the besan, but Beeji smacks him again and tells him to go wash his hands first. Romeo leaves grumbling.

A smiling Sheeba opens the door of the apartment to Chandini who calls out Mini didi excitedly and goes from room to room. But there is no sign of Manisha anywhere. Sheeba comes upto her and tells that Manisha chali gayi. Chandini is shocked and then Sheeba notices a letter on the corner table. Chandini reads out the letter in which Manisha tells her not to follow her anymore. She has no plans of ever coming back to Jalandhar and tells Chandini to leave her alone. Chandini is totally shocked and falls on the bed.

End of episode

Preview of next episode: Beeji is lighting diyas all along the parapet to welcome Manisha and Romeo asks her she is decorating just like how Anarkali did for Salim on his return from war. Beeji corrects him and says it was not Anarkali, but Salim's mother Jodhabai. She says to Romeo that he cannot understand the love which a mother feels for a child. Beeji is holding a plate of besan laddooos when she sees Chandini walking dejectedly. She asks her where is Manisha and then says that probably because of more luggage she is coming in a taxi. Chandini with tears in her eyes turns to face her.

Well sorry to disappoint the IC fans, but today's episode was also quite boring. It dragged on and on. The only thing is that the mystery lady is not Kamini as I thought, but indeed Manisha. Now it remains as to when Chandini will meet her finally. And I want the Adi - Chandini romance to start soon! I'm tired of waiting for that.

Jan. 31 by Viduraju

Chandini is sitting on the bed stunned and with tears in her eyes. Sheeba says she is sorry and that she tried her level best. A still stunned Chandini just gets up and slowly walks away.

Beeji is lighting diyas all along the parapet when Romeo tells her that looking at her, he remembers Anarkali because she lit diyas just like this when Salim returned from war. Beeji says, 'khote da puttar, it is not Anarkali but Salim's mother Jodhabai! ' She tells Romeo that he can't understand mamta ka tadap. Romeo asks her for just one laddoo because she has made so many and Beeji gives him. He wants to ask for another, but beeji just shoos him away.

Just then Beeji sees Chandini and asks her excitedly where is Manisha. When Chandini doesn't answer, she thinks that Manisha has a lot of luggage and therefore she is coming behind in a taxi. She tells Chandini to take a laddoo fast because once Manisha comes, there won't be any left. Chandini with tears in her eyes turns and Beeji worriedly asks her that she met Manisha, right? Chandini just shakes her head and gives Manisha's letter to Beeji. Beeji is shocked to see the letter. She tells Chandini that maybe it is a trick of Sheeba because last time also she had told a lie about Manisha. But Chandini says that this time Sheeba is not doing any fareb and that it is indeed Manisha's handwriting. She asks Beeji why is Manisha doing like this. Beeji tells her that it is Manisha's old habit of running away and making others cry. Once at school, when she was caught cheating she had run away to an old mandir till they found her, but she was not at all scared. Chandini asks her if this time also Manisha has committed some crime and that is why she doesn't want to go back. But Beeji says that Manisha understands that no matter how many mistakes children commit, their parents will always forgive them. Chandini hugs Beeji and keeps crying.

In the morning, Romeo is playing cricket with the chawl kids and then it is his turn to bat. He hits the ball which goes flying in the air. All the chawl kids are looking up when Amy walks into the chawl. All the kids yell at her to catch the ball. Amy is confused, but she puts her hands up and manages to catch the ball. She tosses her hair and Romeo is totally stunned to see her and goes totally lattoo! He exclaims, kya jhakaas hai! Amy says what????? Romeo comes upto her and says what a jhakaas catch that was. Amy asks him where is Chandini and Romeo who is staring at her eyes says 'in your eyes! Amy irritatedly says Chandini Kapoor's house and says that she will ask someone else. Romeo snaps out of his reverie and thinks to himself that she was asking for sister's ( Chandini's ) house and he behaved like a complete idiot.

Beeji and Chandini are sitting dejectedly in their room and Beeji asks Chandini how long will she stay upset like this. Chandini morosely tells her that she feels as if she has lost everything and says that at least not for her sake, but Manisha should have at least thought of Beeji. Beeji tries to console her, but Chandini keeps sitting depressed. Just then there is a knock on the door. Beeji opens the door and sees Amy. Amy does Pranaam to Beeji who is confused and asks Amy who she is. Amy introduces herself and says hi to Chandini. Chandini just glances at her and turns away dejectedly. Beeji says to Amy, oh so you are Chandini's telephone operator! Now you only tell some sense to Chandini. Amy goes upto Chandini and says her that she will definitely find Manisha. Chandini turns around crying and tells Amy that all hope is lost. Amy gives her mobile to chandini and tells her to call Sheeba again, but Chandini refuses saying that she doesn't want to trouble Sheeba any further. Beeji tells Chandini to go and take bath, get ready, drink some tea and then she will feel better. She takes a reluctant Chandini out leaving Amy sitting worried.

Amy calls up Sheeba and introduces herself as Chandini's friend. Sheeba is irritated and tells her she did all she could and she can't do anything more. Amy asks her to please understand Chandini's situation; she is very upset about her missing sister. Sheeba says she has to leave for Goa immediately, but gives Amy two phone numbers of people who might know something about Manisha.

Amy speaks to the first person, but he doesn't know where manisha is. Amy asks him to tell Manisha the next time they meet at a party that her younger sister Chandini is looking for her. She dials the second number, but nobody is at home and the answering machine says that it is Bhavna Mishra's residence and could u please leave a message. Amy speaks on behalf of Chandini saying this is Chandini Kapoor, Manisha Kapoor's younger sister and if you have any information regarding Manisha kindly call back. She puts the phone down.

Beeji is combing Chandini's hair and again trying to console her. But Chandini says that Amy has already called the 2 people and there is no response. Amy comes in and says that Bhavna still hasn't called. Beeji says that even a tinka of hope could lead them to the shore. But Chandini says there is no hope left. Amy and Beeji look at each other and then Amy says that she forgot why she came in the first place. She says it is Smitha's bday today and she wants Chandini to come with her so that they can give her a gift. Chandini says she doesn't want to come, but Amy says you think you will say that and I will agree. Chandini pleads for her to understand her situation and tells her to tell everybody at the office that she is not feeling well. Amy tells Chandini that I know you are very upset because in spite of many efforts, you haven't been able to find your sister. But does that mean ki tum zindagi se haar man jaogi? Beeji agrees with Amy and tells Chandini to go on as it will lighten her mind. Chandini finally agrees.

Smitha and Varun walk into the hub which is completely dark and a confused Smitha tells him, that you had told me that Vishesh sir has called everyone an hour early, but there is no one here. She turns around to find Varun gayab. She is scared and tells Varun that she doesn't like all this mazaak. Just then Varun appears with a cake decorated with candles and starts singing Happy Birthday. Smitha is pleasantly surprised and asks Varun how he knew it was her birthday. Varun imitating Shahrukh Khan says that bade bade shahar mein choti choti batein sabko pata hai senorita. Smitha laughs and both start staring at each other. ( How romantic! 😳 ) Just then the lights come on and Adi comes in and asks what is happening. The door opens and everybody troops in singing happy birthday. Amy teasingly tells Varun, that oh the two of you were celebrating the bday alone. Varun tells her that oh Mohini, style hai to smile hai! Amy indignantly tells him that is her dialogue and only she has the copyright for it. She wishes Smitha and hands her a gift saying it is from Chandini and herself. Smitha opens it to find a windchime. Amy says it is to rid all the negative energy in her house. Smitha thanks her and then Kabir with the same poker face hands Smitha a gift. Varun teasingly says that even while giving a gift you have the same expression. If you give a smile, then the whole place will light up. You really resemble Anna. Everybody is confused and Varun says he is referring to Suneil Shetty who has the same expression, whether he is doing romance, action or dancing. He then goes on to imitate Sunil Shetty making everyone laugh. Then Adi says that no matter what his expression, Kabir is very dedicated to his work and even Vishesh thinks so. Kabir is pleased to hear this. Then Adi tells everyone that the party is over and they have to go back to work. Vishesh who just enters is surprised to hear this. He comes upto Adi and says that he can't believe what he is hearing. Adi is pleased and tells Vishesh that I told you I'm responsible. Both smile broadly, clasp each other around the shoulders and go out.

Chandini is sitting on her chair when the office boy comes and tells her there is a call for her from reception. Chandini is surprised and goes to the reception phone. The voice on the other end tells her that it is Bhavna. Chandini is shocked.

Meanwhile Beeji is praying to the Matharani idol when Romeo comes in and is shocked to see Beeji with tears in her eyes. He tells her that how come she is crying when she was the one who told Chandini to be brave. He says that just now he has gone to the mandir and offered money as prasad for the safe return of Manisha. Beeji with tears in her eyes tells him that she can't cry before Chandini because she is my granddaughter and it will only make her more tensed. Romeo is upset and tells Beeji that she shouldn't cry in front of him as well as he can't stand to see her crying. He says that Chandini is like his sister and that he will do everything possible to bring Beeji's other pothi back; it is a gentleman's promise. Beeji says fondly that tu khota ka khota hi rahega. Romeo is confused whether she is saying khota or pota. He then haltingly asks Beeji for another laddoo as they were totally raapchik! Beeji tells him he can have as many as he wants.

Chandini is very happy that Bhavna called her. Bhavna says that you had left a message for me on my answering machine. Chandini thinks of Amy with gratitude; she tells Bhavna that her shift is starting soon and she is not allowed to make personal calls. She gives Bhavna Amy's mobile number and asks her to please call after 11. Bhavna agrees.

Kabir has an angry look on his face because a caller is going on using abusive language at him. Vishesh and Adi are walking in the hub and Adi tells Vishesh that the meeting is scheduled at the correct time, when suddenly Kabir totally loses his cool and starts yelling at the caller. Everybody in the hub are shocked and turn to look at him.

Start of episode

Adi is sitting in the canteen eating a burger when Amy and Chandini come there and discuss as to who should approach him. Chandini musters up the courage and goes and stands behind Adi. Adi notices her and thinking that she has come to plead for Amy's cause tells her that he won't tell Vishesh and that he is not that bad a person. He turns back to his plate, but realizes that Chandini is still standing behind him. He turns around and asks her, what is the matter Miss Parandi, do you want to say something to me? Chandini asks him what is on his shoulders. Adi pointing to the tattoo says that it is his club's membership status. Amy then comes up and says the Nomad club, right? Adi is surprised and slowly nods his head. Amy says that they both had gone to the club, but they were refused entry. Adi tells them that had to happen as they were not members. Amy and Chandini look at each other and Adi tells the two of them to tell what is on their mind. Chandini says that she wants a help from him.

Meantime, Varun hands Smitha an envelope of money telling her that it is for her deposit. Smitha refuses to take it. Varun grows impatient and says in a loud voice that he only wants to help her. Smitha asks him to stop shouting and tells him that she wants a friend, not a messiah. Her personal problems are her own and she can also solve them on her own. She goes from there leaving Varun sitting dejectedly at the table. Kavitha who is listening to this comes upto Varun and tries to console him saying that he was only offering help to Smitha because she is in trouble. Kabir who is listening to this tells Kavitha sarcastically that now she is understanding middle class problems as well. He asks Varun as to what he wants to prove by giving Smitha this money. He tells Kavitha that she stays in a palatial house and comes to work in a big car, so how will she understand the middle class pride. Varun says, oh now the two of you are fighting because of me. He consoles Kavitha saying the same Shahrukh Khan dialogue which he told Smitha yesterday, ye senorita, bade bade shahar mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hai. He tells the two that he can solve his problem on his own.

Adi laughs when Chandini and Amy tell him about the girl and how she said that if you have to get membership into the Nomad Club, you have to get your tongue pierced. He says that is not the case and non – members can get entry if they go with a member. Chandini requests him to help them to get entry into the club. Adi asks her what will she do if she does get into the club and Chandini says that she will do what Adi normally does, i.e. hang out. Adi is impressed and tells her that ab tumhe Mumbai ki hawa aa gayi hai. He tells the two that he will help them get entry, but they have to agree to his sharth i.e. once inside the club they will have to do exactly what he tells them to do. Amy is hesitant, but Chandini agrees to the sharth.

Beeji and Mrs. Godbole are working in the kitchen and Mrs. Godbole tells Beeji that she has such a solid granddaughter in Chandini. She works all night in the office, then during the day she takes care of her Beeji and does all the housework as well. Beeji agrees and says that is the reason why she wants to work as well so that she can be of some help to her. Mukund who is trying to sleep tells his mother to keep it a bit quiet as he is not able to sleep. Mrs. Godbole scolds him and says that they have to get the dibbas ready for tomorrow, but Beeji says that he studies hard all through the day and he deserves to sleep peacefully. Mrs. Godbole then hesitantly tells Beeji that her former helper who was sick ( and whose position Beeji was filling out temporarily ) has been discharged from work and will join from tomorrow. Beeji's face falls on hearing this and Mrs. Godbole tells her hastily that she can always tell her helper to go. But Beeji refuses and says this job is the reason why that man is able to support his family and she can't steal his job away from him. Then Mukund informs them that the helper will be going to his village for a month. Mrs. Godbole is very happy to hear this and tells Beeji that she can continue for another month. Beeji is also very happy and tells Mrs. Godbole that now they can increase their business on a much larger scale and they can call it as BG venture ( B for Beeji and G for Godbole )

Kavitha is answering a call when the caller again starts using abusive language at her. He doesn't like her voice, he says she is a bimbette and he hopes that she will get a husband who beats her black and blue. An upset Kavitha puts down the phone with tears in her eyes. Amy and Smitha are concerned and come upto her. Kavitha says that the caller spoke to her so rudely. Just then Kabir also comes upto Kavitha. Kavitha on seeing him tells him not to tell anything further to her as she is already very upset. But Kabir hands her his handkerchief ( how sweet is that! Guys do you think that there is a possibility of a Kabir – Kavitha romance as well! ) and a surprised Kavitha slowly accepts it. Kabir walks away and the 3 girls stare at him.

Amy comes to Chandini and tells her worriedly that everyday somebody or the other are getting abusive callers and that they have to do something about it, e.g. tell Vishesh Sir. Chandini is half listening to her and half lost in space. She comes back to the present and asks Amy if she did the right thing by accepting Adi's sharth. Amy tells her that now that they have committed to the sharth, they cannot do anything about it. Chandini says that whatever Adi asks her to do, she will do it because she desperately wants to find Mini didi.

Beeji and Mrs. Godbole are packing all the tiffins into bags and Mrs. Godbole gives one bag to her helper asking him to deliver to a principal madam's house and tells him to tell the principal that if she likes the food, then they will send twice as many dibbas. The helper leaves and Beeji prays to Matharani that principal madam likes the khana and that their business will increase 10 fold. Just then Chandini comes to her happily and asks her what she is doing. Beeji fumbles, and Mrs. Godbole covers up for her saying that Mukund has gone to college and Beeji is helping her count and pack the dibbas properly. Chandini is satisfied with this reply. Beeji looking at Chandini's happy face asks her the reason and Chandini tells Beeji excitedly that she has got entry into the club. Beeji is surprised to hear this and then she gets a sudden doubt. She asks Chandini worriedly whether she has got a tattoo as it will interfere with her hands as she has to get married soon. Chandini assures that she hasn't got a tattoo, but still she will get entry. She says, you won't believe who is helping her to get entry and when Beeji is blank, she exclaims Aditya! Beeji is aghast and tells Chandini, that laphanga is taking you! In that case, even I will come. But Chandini says bechara Aditya already has to take 2 people and now she can't force a third person upon him. Beeji is surprised to hear this and asks Chandini to make up her mind about Adi – whether he is bechara or laphanga. Chandini says that if he gets me inside the club, then he is bechara and if not then he is laphanga! She looks at Beeji and both burst out into laughter.

Amy and Chand are anxiously waiting for Adi outside the Nomad club. A worried Amy asks Chandini that what if Adi turns up, but Chandini says that he is probably stuck in traffic. Just then they are startled by Adi who puts his arms around both and says, hi girls! Looking at their tensed faces, he tells them that he had made a promise of taking them inside the club and he will fulfill it. He asks Chandini if she remembers her promise that once inside she will listen to exactly what he says and she won't put up a fight. Chandini agrees and Adi gets them past the guard saying that he is a member and these two girls are with me. Inside there is a huge crowd of people all in hip clothes grooving to the club music. Amy is impressed and says that this place has lot of style. Adi then tells the two that he will be leaving now. Chandini tensed asks him where he is going and what will they do here alone. Adi tells her to do what she has come here to do, i.e. hang out. He tells them that before, he used to spend hours at the club, but not anymore. He goes from there, leaving behind Chandini and Amy staring at him.

Chand and Amy are walking slowly when they bump suddenly into a guy who is drunk. The guy spills his drink on Amy and an irritated Amy tells Chandini that she will go to the bathroom to clean it up. Chandini says that she will also go with her, but Amy tells her to wait behind and search for Manisha otherwise this time

Chandini is weaving through the dancing crowd with a scared expression on her face and wonders how she will find Manisha in such a big crowd. Suddenly she catches sight of the back profile of a girl with long straight hair similar to Manisha's, but then the girl turns around and Chandini is disappointed because she is not Manisha. She thinks to herself that she has landed in such a strange world among strange people. She asks herself why she has a feeling as if Mini didi is nearby.

Chandini goes into a room separated from the rest of the club by a screen and flops onto a couch. She is stunned to see that all around people are sitting totally zonked out. The same girl who stopped her yesterday at the entrance of the club hands her a cigar. Chandini looks at it with a scared expression and refuses. The girl asks her to pass it to the next person. Chandini is gingerly turning around to pass the cigar when she smells the smoke suddenly and starts coughing violently. The girl is amused and asks her if she has never done charas before. Chandini is shocked to hear this and drops the cigar as if it is a piece of hot coal. The girl gets very angry and shouts at her saying that how could she do such a thing as charas is very expensive. All the others stare at her and lean forward menancingly. Poor Chandini gets very scared, but just that moment Amy comes upto her and asks her what is the matter. Chandini in tears tells that let us get out of here as these people are doing drugs. Just then the girl recognizes the two of them and demands to know how come they came inside when she had refused entrance to them already. She orders the both of them to get out. Chandini and Amy go from there and Chandini with tears in her eyes tells Amy that for sure Bhavna is lying to them because her Mini didi would never ever come to a place like this. Amy puts her arms around Chandini's shoulder and Both leave the room. A guy stops them at the entrance of the room telling them to go out of the club as they have already caused enough problem and Amy tells him that even they don't want to stay any longer. They leave the room and a girl with long straight hair and a short black top and jeans sees them go and says bechari. The hippie girl comes up to her and puts an arm on her shoulder saying lets go Ruby. But the black shirt girl removes the arm of the other girl and says, My name is not Ruby but Manisha!
