Friday( under his breath); What will happen to all the black stuff we have left over from the last one!

'.. No answer 'line gone dead on the other side
Donjay appears from nowhere and grabs Onebir's phone and throws it over the bridge into the murky waters'Onebir sighs and returns to the shot'Mona mouths the song lines'"thode badmaash ho tum"while Onebir turns around to hide a tear trickling down his cheek!

Mom walks in with chutney. Typica dips an Idli in it and eats daintily'a mysterious smile on her lips'She like Neighaw..she knows he refers to her as as his GF in public sometimes but she doesn't mind that 'his mom's idlis more than make up for that
