Those Curved Lanes..
The mind thinks
Those curved lanes of love
Take you nowhere
The heart feels
Those curved lanes of love
Show that life is there
Part1
Everybody was waiting impatiently outside the operation theatre. Jay looked nervous. Nishikant dixit paced the floor. Jagdish walia put a hand on Nishikant's shoulder so that he stops hurting himself by his bewildered act. Jay had a look on Nishikant and Jagdish. He caught the arm of the chair and sat down unable to hold his feet on ground. 15 more minutes passed, Jay felt dizzy when there was a creek sound. He turned his face to see a nurse rushing out of the O.T. He stood up immediately as the nurse passed him. He ran towards the O.T to catch a glimpse of whats happening inside, from the narrow opening. Masi took his hand and drew him towards the chair as he continued to look at that direction. Masi indicated him to sit and then said, "Jay beta dheeraj rakho." Meanwhile the nurse was returning with some more surgical instruments. Nishikant tried to stop her by saying, "woh patient kaisi hai?" the nurse replied, "don't worry. Everything is under control" as she continued to walk and bang! the door was shut once again. Jay's eyes flew open - just a moment ago his eyes got shut. He turned to find masi, she was at the farthest end of the hall talking to a doctor. He became impatient and went straight near the operation theatre door. His father asked, "Jay kya hua?" Jay replied in a feeble voice, "kuch nahi" and went to hold masi's hand, his eyes still on the red lights of the O.T.
20 mins. later the doctor came out with a cheerful face and announced, "ma aur bachhi dono thik hai. Bahut hi pyari bachhi hai. Congrats. Aaplog un dono se thodi der baad unke ward mein mil sakte hai." An excited Jay followed Nishikant, Masi and Jagdish to the ward where the mother and child were kept. After the elders had a look of the baby, it was Jay's turn. He touched the small small fingers of the baby with his small and soft fingers. Jagdish walia said, "mr. dixit aapki beti bahut hi pyari hai. Kitna masoom chehra hai" then looking towards Jay who was busy admiring the baby he said, "kyun Jay maine thik kaha na?" Jay didn't hear anything. Nishikant Dixit said, "thanks Mr. walia, woh to aap log the varna Kiran ki halat dekhkar main apne aap ko hi sambhal nahi sakta." Jay's father replied, "arey please thanks mat kahiye voh to Jay ke tauji ko dekhne hum hospital aaye the ke apko dekha aur hum ruk gaye. Ab hum chalte hai Krishna ghar mein akeli hai. Once again congrats" and he left with masi and Jay who carried on his gaze on the baby. As they stepped out of the hospital, a car stopped in front of them. Jigs was sitting on the back seat and said, "Jay aaj school kyun nahi gaye?" While taking his seat beside jigs, her 10 yr old brother replied, "achcha hua didi ke aaj main school nahi gaya varna kuch miss kar jata."
Part2
After a few days there was a puja for the baby's arrival and also it was the namkaran of the baby. Some close friends and relatives along with the walia family were invited to the dixit house. It seemed as if the puja was the cause of excitement throughout mt.abu. Dressed in a black kurta pajama jay entered the house holding his mother's hand. Jigs followed them. Within no time jigs got involved with her school friends in gossiping (u know how teenager girls do). Jay's mother was busy in organizing things for the puja along with other ladies.
Jay's eyes searched for the baby but of no avail. After sometime panditji came. He began the puja and by this time the baby was brought out of the room. But poor Jay! All those big big people sitting in front of him prevented him from having a look on her. A disappointed Jay could only listen to panditji's words.
As the puja completed, panditji said, "bachhi ka naam 'B' akshar se hona chahiye." Everybody started discussing like "'B' se kya ho sakta hai?" The confusion continued for half an hour when someone shouted 'Bani'. Everybody turned to see a serious Jay standing with his hands in the pocket of his kurta. He said, "kab se keh raha hoon Bani, Bani, Bani." Everybody started laughing. Panditji said, "haan. Bani bahut hi achcha aur pyara naam hai" and with the consent of the dixits the baby was named Bani. Everybody congratulated the dixits as well as Jay. Jay was overwhelmed.
While having lunch Jigs asked her mother, "ma mera naam Jigyasa kyun rakha?" her mother smilingly replied, "kyunki tum hum sabke liye ek jigyasa ho. Kab kya man hota hai samajh mein hi nahi aata." Jigs again asked, "toh bhai ka naam Jay kyun rakha?" once again her mother smilingly replied, "kyunki munna har kisi ka dil jay kar sakta hai." This time turning towards Jay she asked, "tumne Bani naam kyun suggest kiya?" Jay coolly replied, "coz I like the name and it has to be for someone special" and left with Krishna and Jigs laughing their heart out at Jay's innocence. Before leaving the dixit house Jay's mother kissed Bani's forehead. Jay did the same and said "goodbye Bani."comments???????
