Part 1

Neil stepped out from the cab as he arrived home. He paid the rent and moved towards his bunglow. He looked around and smiled feeling the atmosphere of his hometown. He has been completing his graduation in Delhi. Being a big and crowded city, it had all the luxries but devoid of fresh air and that special fragrance of soil, the calm environment his home town Patiala had. He missed his town and home so much, more than it he missed his mother.

He lost his father when he was just 15. Since then his mother, Shakuntala Devi had not only raised him single handedly but also took care of all the properties and family business alone. Shakuntala Devi was strong willed lady. She believed in her culture strongly. According to Neil, she was somewhat conservative but she had strong set of beliefs which she would not give up for anyone. She faced many hardships after her husband’s demise but she took it all and didn’t let anything come in between her son’s studies. But now she was growing old. Even she needed support of Neil but Neil was adamant for doing post graduation while Shakuntala wanted him to get settled down in life and learn to manage business while she was capable of guiding him. This one topic was often the cause little fights and disagreement between the mother and son. Apart from this also the difference in thinking process and views about business and society in general often caused Neil to say that his mother has grown old and she should try more to accept views of new generation. Shakuntala devi use to try but often fail to bridge this generation gap.

Neil looked at his left and he could see their mango farm. They were big landlord of patiala and owned many such farms. But mango being his favourite fruit, this farm which was also located just in side of their bunglow was his favourite.

Neil smiled as he remembered his childhood. He used to run in the whole farm in search of perfect mangoes. He thought to take a stroll before going inside house. He turned towards the farm and went inside to relive his childhood. He had his eyes closed and was moving slowly when he suddenly fell down as his leg twisted because of the small pit full of water.

Neil fell down, face on the ground and splashes of water and mud on his clothes and face. Before he could have understood what happen and stand up again he heard laughter. He looked at his right side and there were bunch of kids laughing on him hysterically, making fun of him. But what caught his attention was a beautiful girl laughing with them, sitting on a mango tree.

Neil was angry on those bratty kids for laughing on him like that instead of helping him but he forgot his anger when his eyes landed on that girl. Her attire looked weird for a girl's clothing. She was in plain jeans and boys collar t shirt. Neil looked at her face, She had cutest nose in the world, he thought. Her eyes, melting chocolate with caramel color, almond shaped, her lips, perfectly shaped light pink color like those barbie dolls and not to be missed, her hair….her long hairs which came upto her waist, somewhat curly, dark brown, unkempt, unruly.... wild….her whole persona was wild. He had seen many beautiful girls in Delhi but she was different from them. The polished, sophisticated, almost fake personalities of those girls seems very dull in front of this raw, small town beauty. Her laughter….carefree and captivating….he couldn’t stop himself from staring her in order to drink her beauty as much as he could while the girl and the kids gang kept laughing on him.

The care taker of the farm came running towards him and helped him out then he ran after kids gang with a stick and all of them jumped from the mango tree one by one and started running in gate’s direction. That girl also jumped from the tree and started running but not before taking lots of mangoes in a duppatta which she was carrying in her hands.

The care taker ran after her and she looked back to save herself but when she looked forward again she had collided into a rock hard chest and fell down taking her mango potli along. “Oh maa!” she said as she started rubbing her head. “Hahaha….caught you finally….I know you are the leader of those mango thieves gang. Today I have caught you red handed now your father also wont be able to save you when I present you before badi maalkin.”The care taker said as he stood before her with his hands on his waist. The girl gasped as the meaning of his words dawned upon her. She was not worried about that badi maalkin. She had fooled that old lady quite a few times but if her father comes to know about her mischief she will be grounded at least for a week. Her father worked as an account officer in the estate of Oberois. He was their loyal employee and he had warned her many times not to give any trouble to badi maalkin. She started praying for some miracle to save her from this situation.

“Its ok Satpal kaka. Let it be…..let her have these mangoes. We wont suffer much loss due to these handful of mangoes.” Neil said and asked care taker Satpal kaka to go back to his rest room and don’t report this incident to Shakuntala devi. The girl thanked God for listening to her prayers. She threw a glance at this new guy. He was not stupid as she thought him to be when he fell down. That satpal kaka listened to him means he must be someone important but who? She has not seen him since she came here to live with her father. Maybe he is that old lady’s son about whom she keeps bragging about to the whole world.

“When someone falls, one should offer them support not laugh on them.” Neil said as he gave his hand to her to help her in standing up again. “I don’t need anybody’s help.” She hit his hand and instead stood up herself. “How rude? I offered you support, saved you from being scolded and this is how you thank me?” Neil replied offended. “I didn’t ask for your help.” She replied rudely and turned to go when he caught her hand. “At least tell me your name.” Neil asked her. He couldn’t take it when people argued back with him. Coming from a rich and privileged family and being pampered by his mother all his life he was quite arrogant himself so he couldn’t take anybody’s tantrums but don’t know why he loved it when this girl challenged his attitude with her own. Although he felt that tinge of anger on her rude reply and he twisted her wrist in a reaction. “Leave me, ouch it hurts.” Neil’s anger went away as soon as it came listening to her request. He immediately loosened his grip.

Mini didnt leave this opportunity as she mocked him by making faces, "Tell me your name....huh! bada aaya....akdu kahi ka.....look at your face...dirty like your attitude." Mini laughed again and was about to run when Neil caught her hand again. This time he not only twisted it but also pulled her with a jerk towards himself. He was seething in anger. Nobody ever dared to talk to him in this tone. "Oh maa! leave me you jerk." Mini pleaded again. "Pehle tameez se baat karna seekho." Neil replied. "Ok...ok...sorry....leave my hand please...its hurting." Mini requested. Neil loosened his grip but not left her hand. “Tell me your name and I’ll let you go.” Neil said again.

Mini gave him angry glare as if shooting daggers at him. “Mini, come soon, your papa is coming this way only, he will see you.” One of the kid from her gang warned her. Mini panicked listening to that and tried harder to free her hand. Neil smiled as he got to know her name, not by her but atleast from her friend. He freed her hand and she ran towards the gate muttering "Tumhe toh main dekh lungi you akdu." Neil smiled at her. “Mini…..cute….nice meeting you Mini.” Neil thought and went to his house.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Surprise surprise!” Neil whispered in his mother’s ears as he covered her eyes with his hands when she was busy doing puja. “Oh my God! Neil, you here….suddenly? You said you wont be coming after exams as you need to enquire about your MBA and different colleges.” Shakuntala devi was happily surprised seeing her son in front of her. “That was just to tease you and give you this surprise. I have already completed all the formalities. I’ll be joining one of the top college there as soon as their session starts, which is two months from now. So till then I wanted to spend time with you.” Neil informed.

Shakuntala Devi as usual showered her son with love as she cooked all her favorite dishes and made sure he ate all of it in front of her eyes. “Bas maa, ab aur khaaya to pet phat jayega.” Neil pushed away the food plate and stood up. “Arre, abhi toh sweet dish baki hai…teri sabse favorite…kheer.” Shakuntala put the kheer in bowl and offered it to Neil. “Keep it in my room. I will eat it later.” Neil went to wash his hands. He then came in his room and opened his suitcase and gave beautiful saree to his mother as a gift.

“Ab is umr mein is saree ka main kya karungi?” Shakuntala said. “Why? You didn’t like it?” Neil asked, hurt from her answer. “Its beautiful…but…but very bright and glossy…it would look nice on your wife not on your mother.” Shakuntala answered. “But there is a time in my marriage….I still have to complete the education then learn to handle the business.” Neil replied.

“Good that this topic came up. I wanted to talk to you about it from some time now.” Shakuntala said. “What is there to talk? You already know my answer.” Neil replied getting irritated slightly as his mother again picked up this topic. He was of the opinion that he is too young for marriage and will only get settled down after completing his post graduation.

“Haan haan…pata hai tumhari zidd lekin is bar meri bhi zidd hai tumhari shadi karwakar rahungi. You stay at Delhi all the time but have you ever thought about me? I am all alone here. With my old age is getting difficult by the day to manage everything all alone. And this time our pandit ji has also told me that your kundli has some mangal dosh so its better you get married now or there is no shubh muhurat for years to come.” Shakuntala Devi continued her rant.

Neil had answer to her every question. But when she played the kundli card, he was speechless. He knew his mother was superstitious and wont listen anything against her beliefs. He thought of avoiding her and go out for a while so that his maa would forget about his wedding for sometime. “I just remembered maa, my friend Mickey wanted to meet me so I am going and will return in evening.” Neil tried to escape but Shakuntala was ready this time. “Haan haan…chale jao hamesha ki tarah bahana kar ke…you don’t love me enough….wont even fulfill smallest of my wishes…you wont get married even if I had asked you for it on my death bed.” Shakuntala played the ultimate emotional blackmail card, no son has ever invented a reply for that. So finally Neil accepted defeat.

“Maa, don’t say any such things ever. Ok, fine! Aap jeeti….I am ready for the marriage.” Neil replied as he hugged his mother getting all emotional. Shakuntala smiled in triumph. “I knew you wont deny this time so I already selected a girl for you.” Shakuntala went and came back with a photo of a girl.

“What!! Maa, this is not right. I have agreed for the marriage but that doesn’t mean you will force your choice on me.” Neil finally protested. “At least see the photo first.” Shakuntala handed him the photo. Neil saw the picture. It was the photo of very beautiful girl. Fair complexion, round face, chubby cheeks and big eyes. The girl was really cute. Anyone could fall for her but Neil didn’t know why the photo didn’t impress him much.

“Ya, she is ok…” Neil replied disinterestedly and gave the photo back. “What? Just ok? Are you out of your mind. She is Preet Khanna. Most eligible bachelorette of our community. Beautiful, highly educated, knows cooking, stitching and weaving, speaks fluent english….what more you want?” Shakuntala devi was shocked with cold reply from Neil.

“Maa, I want a wife not a manager or servant or cook.” Neil answered. “Tum pehle batao isme kya kami hai…itni sundar to hai.” Shakuntala Devi asked. “Sundar hai…par….par wo baat nahi hai….wo jo ek bar dekho toh sidhe dil mein utar jaye…waisa kuch nahi hai isme…jaise….oh how should I explain this to you?” Neil threw up hands in frustration as he himself was confused what he wanted to say and what he was searching for while looking at Preet’s photo.

“Offo! Tum aur tumhare nakhre….tell me if she is not beautiful enough as per your standards then what kind of girl you want?” Shakuntala asked getting irritated now. “Maa, its not only about beauty…its about the whole personality…the…the…” Neil was speechless again as he didn’t know how to give words to his feelings. He closed his eyes for introspection as he tried to find out the answer of all his confusion and what he was looking for. The image of girl he met few hours ago in their mango farms flashed before his eyes. That weird girl with long unruly, wild hair. That gold color complexion, those perfectly shaped lips and cute button nose and not to forget that fire in those soulful eyes. Her carefree laughter, her fighting spirit, her attitude….Mini….her name.” Neil opened his eyes at once when he realised he was thinking about that mango thief who made fun of him.

“Hello! Where are you lost son?” Shakuntala waved her hand in front of his face and Neil turned around to hide his expressions and calm down racing heartbeats. “Nothing…I was just thinking…..I cant marry anyone just by seeing the photo….I want to meet this girl at least once.” Neil stated his opinion. “Arre, bas itni si baat. Samjho ho gaya kaam. I will talk to Preet’s parents and arrange for your meeting tomorrow only.” Shakuntala replied feeling ecstatic as she was confident Neil could not reject Preet as she was ‘sarvgun sampann’ according to her. Shakuntala arranged for their meeting at Preet’s house only and prayed to God that Neil will say yes to her while Neil couldn’t sleep as he kept remembering Mini again and again.

It's a beautiful story. I like original actress who played it . They showed the scenes beautifully. In Uphaar jaya was annoying in few scenes. Even now she is in real. 😆

It has been made in several languages and several times. Uphaar, balika badhu are famous hindi versions while there are many bengali versions. I like young jaya bacchan's movies...all those guddi, mili, chupke chupke etc. she looked cute back then.😆 but yes she can be annoying sometimes....mostly in real life🤣
