Howzzat!!

Howzzattt...

Ek jalak iss kahaani ki...

You would have guessed from the tittle that it's about cricket...

Yes you are right...get ready to be bowled over by aur beloved Maneet in a new avatar...

Well this is a story where Maan is a cricketer...

And Geet would certainly be his fan...

This Maan would be no different form our MSk, with the same attitude, arrogance and anger...

And when you have got the talent then this arrogance is double, haina?

And our Geet is not far behind when it comes down to their face offs...

She knows very well how to deal with the MSK...

That's a peek inside this story...

Character sketch...

Khuranas...

Dadi: Savithri Devi Khurana...

Mr.Khurana: Amarnath Khurana...king of the Khurana Empire...KC is part of it...

MSK...angry young man...but here is the twist,,,as the title suggests this is a cricket fans take on GHSP...basicaly Maan is a spoilt child...highly rebellious with a lot of attitude, aal b'coz of the money in his father's pocket and the talent he has acquired by birth...he is a naturally gifted batsman...like boom boom Afridi...the names of the cricketers I choose are just for identifying the character of the lead and nothing more than that...I am a mere spectataor and admirer of Cricket...and my circket knowledge is equal to a non-cricket fan...so don't give work to your logical thinking...just like our MSK this Maan is also hardworking but didn't have any difficulty getting into the cricket fields for he is aptly called the sher-of- Punjab, the yuvraj of Cahndigarh, as his father less than a Raja in terms of money and power...and he is a rightly called sher for his arrogance and attitude...the roaring lion...

Handas...

And as for the heroine you already know Ms.Geet handa who needs no introduction...

And for the rest of the Handa family...here they are...

Maninder Handa...basically from Hoshiarpur, but lives in Delhi as a central government employee with his lovely family...

Ranno Handa...typical Punjabi house wife always complaining about her husbands honesty which keeps him away from promotions and better incomes...she is worried that even as his juniors get promoted to higher posts he is still happy to work under them rather than giving up his useless principles ...though she keeps asying that her husband is not clever enough to get to a good position in his office she is realy proud of him and she wants her children to follow him, for her money is essential but she is not greedy, she just wants to see her husband at the top post...they have enogh money to keep them happy...and for a family to be happy you need love and affection and not money...

Vicky Handa...Geet's elder brother...

So this Geet Handa has all the love and care of her sweet family which MSK lacks...he may be a billonare and a celebrity but when it comes to love he is a pauper..

Prologue...

The Khurana pariwaar...

It's only Dadi and Maan though Maan's Dad is also a member of this family Maan had moved away from him long back, and he is just a namesake father for Maan, Mr,khurana rarely stayed with them and has hardly spoken with Maan in the past few years.

After his mother's death, his father remarried a Canadian woman and has a family there while Maan is left under his Dadi's care...the only person maan respects and loves is his dadi, Savithri ji...

Mr. khurana's main business Khurana constructions is here in India...at Delhi and Chandigarh...

They were staying at Chandigarh till Maan joined college at Delhi...Dadi shifted with Maan to delhi...they stayed at KM while Mr.Khurana preffered his farm house whenever he came and stayed in Delhi...b'coz Maan doesn't like his father staying with them...he hates to see his father and likes to be left on his own...

As a kid he was very naughty and also a bully at school...no one had the courage to complain about Mr.Khuarna's only son. That would end their career immediately...

But Dadi tried her best to keep him under control but Maan tricked her to believe that he is the innocent victim of the others jealousy...she thought that her grandson would become more responsible and less naughty as he grows older...Maan's pranks were entertaining and there was only fun and no evil intensions...he never hurt others but just loved to be the gangleader always bossy and in command...he had a bunch of loyal soldiers at his service anytime in the name of friends...it's this bad company that surrounded him for money which proved to be fatal at the end...

Being this spoilt brat Maan somehow got into this habit of drinking...while appreciating his talents as a budding cricketer Dadi's only concern is his drinking habits...

This sums up our hero MSK...

Enough said about love and affection, let's come back to the main point...

It's a cricketer's story and you need a cricket lover...

Vicky Handa...Geet's elder brother...the Tom of the house and Geet is his little Jerry...

They always keep fighting like kids even now...

And Vicky is the one who influences Geet's life the most...

Although they never agree about anything and everything on earth, they have a common love for cricket...

Vicky introduced Geet to cricket...

For him cricket is a religion and sachin is his God almighty...

Maninder is also a cricket fan and a diehard fan of bhaji, kapil Dev...

How can he forget his icon winnig the 1983 world cup...

Though dhoni and his boys conquered the world cup for the second time he considers the 1983 world cup special and for him that is the ultimate achievement in Indian cricket history...no one can beat that record...winning the world cup fot the first time...

Actauly Vicky got addicted to cricket watching matches with his father...whatever cricket knowledge he has he has imbibed from his father...this is the family fortune that Mr.Handa proudly handed over to his heir...

The only person who is a cricket illiterate in the house is poor ranno...

For her cricket is a boring game with the same sequernce repeated a million times...yes, it's always the same thing! The bowler bowls and the batsman hits and the ball is back in the bowlers arms to repect the cycle...

She is puzzled how one could see the same thing repeatedly for hours...

She gets pissed off when she calls them for dinner and they say that they would come in a minute and stick to the TV for hours...

Maninder keeps saying..."just one wicket", " abhi dekho agla wicket ghir jayega"

And Ranno would keep waiting till the innings gets over...

Ranno ko kuch samajmein nahi aatha ki ye bowler ek ball sahi dalne ki itna samay kyun letha? Itne saal practice karke bhi ek ball sahi nahi dal saktha? Aur ye log issko dekhkke wah wah karthe...

For her the omly change is the colour of the dress the palyers wear...

That too in recent times...earlier it used to be only white...

Maninder brought a colour TV for the 1992 world cup and Ranno was very angry with him for getting aother TV unnecessarily while that old B&W TV was more than enough for viewing that stupid cricket game...she was planning to get a pair of diamond earings for herself instead...

She keeps on complaining that Handaji is spoiling her son's studies...both of them wake-up at the early hours of the morning to watch the matches played abroad...

But when it comes to attending a wedding at that time, Handaji complaints that these people are insane to have the functions at these hours...

Same goes with Vicky too, when there is an exam he can't even wake up at six...but if there is a match then it's a different story...

Ranno kept Geet away from this crazy game till she cleared her class X boards...

But at that time IPL started ans as usual the two men turned the house into a cricket ground and poor Geet couldn't even get to sleep though her exems are over...

She often peeps out of her room to see the morons celebrating a wicket or asixer...and those insane acts of her father and her brother made her curious about cricket...

She can understand her brother jumping like a bunny but her father? He is a respectful officer and here he is behaving like a child...

Geet used to join them for a few minutes just as Ranno serves them dinner...

Ranno had shifted the dinning to the hall for this way she could finish her work in time and go to bed earlier...

Geet helps Ranno and later she also got involved in the game...

She is surprised to see her brother gulping litres of cola till his favourite team finished batting...he believed that scored as much as he drank!

Her father kept on hitting the poor bean bag hoping to see a six from sachin everytime he faced a ball...

Sometimes they insist Geet to stay in the same position till India won the match...

They believed that it was lucky for India, these things happen when they loose hope in their starts and hope to turn the match around by these lucky charms...

Vicky wears the same T-shirt everytime India plays Pakistan...the one he wore on the day India created history by winning the first T20 world cup...

by that time India won thw world cup in Mumbai Geet too became a crazy cricket fan...

After India won the cup under Dhoni she too became a maniac...

Her favourite cricketer is Virat..(every girl's favourite?)

She also likes boom boom Afridi, hope Dawan makes it big one day like him...

And she just loves the Punjabi puthar YuvRaj...

Hats off to this man for his courage and resilience, what a comeback!

Come on Yuvi! You can do it...

Oh...oh...enough of our real heroes and let's come back to oue reel hero...MSK...

Poor MSK! It's hard for him to fit into a cricket team, but what to do? Geet being a cricket fan he had to don the cricketer's role, haina babaji?

Just thinking about the plight of the Umpire who rules Maan out by mistake! Maan would burn him to ashes with his angry looks...

Oh ...guys, this is realy funny, MSK playing cricket for India? Just can't imagine! OK OK , aaise hi sochthi rahoon toh ye story aage nahi badega...so you too stop analyzing and just try to believe MSK as a cricketer...MSK, the cricket star...this is crazy, haina?

Maan's career so far...

Maan played for Punjab in the Ranjis for a couple of years, it was not that difficult for him to get into the Punjab side. Being a Khurana, son of Mr.Amarnath Khurana helped him for once in his lifetime...later on he survived with his batting abilities and clean hits...

Lets say he got into the Indian team after Dhoni and the boys won the world cup...I can't imagine MSK to be part of that winning team, that would be unfair...

Since then he has been playing for India regularly...

And as you know he has a huge female fan following, girls drool over his looks rather than admiring his game...MSK haina ?

So that's it...

Here is the hero and the heroine...next what? First meeting!

Part - 1

Maneet mulakat...

Geet happened to meet MSK in person at a chariry match held at the kotla grounds, Delhi...

Vicky got the tickets for himself and his father...but Mr.Handa couldn't go with him and so Vicky took Geet instead as none of his friends were in town...

After the match which Maan's team won b'coz of the half-century he hit from 22 balls, Geet fell in love with this man's game, mind you only the game...

As Vicky has got himself a PHD in cricket he knows the nuances of the game and also easily predicts who will shine better...

As you know our MSK's attitude is the centre of attraction on the ground and even while winning the toss he elects to chase which most captains don't...

They all like to set a target for the others but Maan likes challenges...chasing is challenging for a batsman...you have to keep up to the required run rate...

Vicky takes a looks at Maan again...

Geet looks at his reaction and she too stares Maan...

Geet: kitna akkad?

Vicky smile...

Geet is puzzled...

Vicky: tum dekhthe raho, mujhe lagtha hai ki ye thoda alag hai

Vicky had seen him playing at the nets even for a charity match...

You know Maan hates losing even if it's only a fun game...

So Vicky is impressed that this man has got it in him...ek misaal hai...jeetne ki...

Geet totally disagrees...

That's what she always does...just disagree with anything Vicky syas...

Geet: nahi bhai...ye toh shakal se hi loser lagtha

Vicky: mujh toh tumme lekhe aana hi nahi chahiye

Geet: mujhe laga ki Sachin aayega, warna mein bhi nahi aathi

Vicky: toh phir chale jao, meinne kahan rokha

Geet wants to see what this man does?

She wants to see how he loses...

Geet: nahi nahi, mujhe dekhna hai ki kaise tummara predictions glat hotha, aaise nahi hua toh mein manthi hoon ki tum bahtu bade mahaan ho, warna tumme aaise faltu predictions ko band karna padega

Vicky: teek hai, mujhe pura viswas hai ki ye zaroor mujhe niraas nahi karega, tumne usske aaknon mein dekha nahi?

Geet: kya? Usske aankhen tede hai kya?

Vicky: nahi Geet, jeetne ka josh

Geet: haan haan, tum dekhthe raho, itna gamandi hothe toh zaroor harjaathe, haina babaji?

Maan likes pressure...he likes to dominate the innings and crush the bowlers...

And that's what he did...the opposition scored only a few runs and the match was a one sider...

The crowd is disappointed by the slow pace of the first innings and they wanted a master blaster atleast from the next side...

Though it's only a charity match Maan's innings was thoroughly entertaining...paisa wasool performance tha...

He hits those sixes with very little effort and also the classic cover drives he hits for fours...

This Maan is a rare combination of Sachin's class and shewag's flamboyance..(how I wish we had such a player for real...placed my bets on Dawan...hope he doesn't disappoint)

Let Maan be left handed like Dada...he also has Dada's shirt removing aggression and attitude, MSK haina?

While Vicky was admiring Maan, Geet had to accept the fact that he is a class player, very stylish...

Geet too appreciated his batting and agreed that Vicky is right...

She had no other option...everybody was praising him like they have found the next sachin?

That's too much...

Vicky is very happy, not that his prediction is right but we have found a new talent for team India...

Vicky has already started imaginng Maan in the blues...playing for India...

BTW...Maan had not only impressed Vicky but also some of the selecters present at the ground...

Vicky: Geet, ab toh tumme manna hi padega ki ye faltu ke attitude nahi hai, ye toh sach mein talented hai

Geet: haan haan guruji, aaj ka gyaan toh kamaal ka hai

Geet was already upset that her brother won the challenge...

Now he would boast himself as a cricket guru...

Vicky is off to get a closer look of Maan...

Geet had to accompany her brother for she had no other company...

Geet was also thinking that maybe she should get an autograph too for he is sure to make it big one day...this Maan is has stuff...you can't ignore him whether you like him or hate him...

Geet happened to see the worst of him on the same day!

When all the players took their time to sign autographs and take photographs with their fans this Maan just ignored them and left immediately...

Waise koi aur din hotha toh Maan bhi fans ke saath thoda masti kartha, lekhin aaj nahi, kyunki aaj Dadi kkka janam din hai aur Maan toh Dadi ko abhi tak wish bhi nahi kiya hai, damn it...how could he forget dadi's b'day, the only soul who oves him genuinely in this whole world where people love him either as a cricketer or as a millionaire's son, just as the innings ended Adi called Maan to inform about the dinner party...that's when Maan remembered that it's Dadi's b'day...

Lucky for him that Adi called earlier, b'coz after 7 you can't contact Maan or disturb him for he is off to his Pub with his so called buddies...

Geet didn't like his attitude at all ...itna akkad?

Abhi toh charity match hi kheltha aur apne aap ko agla sachin samajtha?

Toh first impression is not that good...

As a player he is OK but as a person he is not as good as his batting...

Geet ke nazar mein Maan fail ho jaatha...

Par Maan haven't noticed her as of now...

So it's only half mulakaat...haina babaji?

Hope the next meeting is better...maybe it would be even more worse than this...

Don't expect love at first sight...

It's always like this...Maneet have a bumpy start but they always win the race in the end...

That's what matters...haina?

Geet stares Maan as he leaves and thinks...

Never mind, ye new boys are always like this, full of attitude and no good qualities to make a match winner, jaise ki Sachin ya Dhoni...ye toh bahut hi gamandhi hai, aur Dhust Danav bhi, haina babaji?

At KM...

Dadi is getting ready to go to her charity home which she had adopted...

The children had kept calling her and wishing her from the morning...

They had arranged this surprise party for her and they just called her to inform...

Dadi was sad that her favourite boy didn't wish her today but now she is back with full enthusiasm to meet the children...

Maan had already organized this dinner for her...but just forgot the date...and this match kept occupying his mind for the selectors were present to watch the youngsters' performances...

Though he is a popular ranji player the Indian selectors wished to see him perform live...

Thet's when they will get know whether the rumours about his talents as a gifted left handed batsman are true...

Maan had been waiting for such an oportunity for a long time...

So when it came his way he had to grab it with both hands...it's lke a match winning catch...

Either you catch and save your career or you drop it and you are doomed...

Dadi knew that Maan is working hard for this all these days and it's time for him to shine...

Dadi wabted to attend the children's party and later come and see Maan, hopefully he will be home earlier today...

As Maan comes back Nakul informs about Dadi's party...

Maan wanted to meet her at the party itself, he roo liked to spend time with the kids...

Whenever he had some time he went and played cricket with them, they were the ones always ready to bowl for him and there are a few surprises too who have the capability to knock down his wicket...

Maan likes challenging them to bowl him out and he will take that winning kid out for dinner...

So the kids take their bowling seriously and for Maan it's their love that takes him back to them again and again...

The party had started and dadi is ready to cut the cake...

Suddenly the lights go off and the kids get scared...

Maan comes with the candle singing happy b'day...

The kids are happy to see their Maan bahiya...

Dadi is very happy and she is overwhelmed by Maan's surprise entry ...

Maan: hare Dadima, mere bina aap cake kaise kaat sakthe?

Dadi: aap ko abhi apni dadi ki yaad aayi?

Maan: meinne socha chalo aaj Dadi ko surprise dhoon

Dadi: joote

Maan: sachi dadi, haina guys

Kids: haan, Maan bhaiya kabhi joot nahi bolthe

Dadi: aapne inko bahut achche se train kiya hai

Maan: chalo, sab shuru karo, happy b'day to Dadi

Maan lights the candles...

Maan: come on dadi, lets rock the party

Later they cut and serve the cake Maan dances with dadi...

Maan: dadi, aapko kya chahiye?

Dadi ko ab bas Maan ki kushi chahaiye, aur kuch nahi...

Maan: walking stick chalega?

Dadi: walking stick kissi budhe ko dedo, hum abhi bhi jawaan hai

Maan: hai meri zulfh sakhi...tu abhi tak hai hassi aur mein zawaan

Dadi: ye jawaani hai deewani...come on everybody...

They start antakshari...

Maan is very happy...

But some one is not so happy...aur koi nahi, humamri Geet...

That night Geet kept thinking about this MSK who had already impressed her so much though in the wrong way...

Little did Geet know that she is going to meet this Dhust Danav very soon, that too face to face, at her very own sanjeevani where she is an intern...

yaad hai Geet physiotherapist hai...agar Maan sportsman ho toh physio ki kabhi bhi zaroorat padegi!. Haina?

Issiliye toh Geet ko bhi physio banna pada...ye toh babaji ka khel hai...

After this Geet forgot about Maan completely till she saw his picture in the news...

Part - 2

Maan is the new guy selected for the Indian team...

As usual Vicky is glued to the TV...

He is eager to find out who is retained and who is thrown out of the team...

Vicky was so excited he almost jumped off his chair...

He called Geet...

Vicky: Geeet

Geet comes running...

Geet: kya hua?

Ranno: tum donno thode dher shanthi se beit nahi sakthe?

Vicky: yaha dekho TV mein

Ranno: phir koi match aagaya? Hare bhagwaan kaise bhi mujhe iss musibat se bahar nikhaalo, koi iss faltu cricket ko kaise dekhtha?

Vicky: maa, thode dher chup raho, kitna important news chal raha hai

Ranno: tummara sachin prime minister ban gaya hai kya?

Hadnaji just enters...

Vicky: papa ye dekho, Maan Singh Khurana

Ye naam sunthe hi Geet turns to the TV...

Haan wahi Dhust danav hai...

He is been selected for the next series...

Vicky: Geet, issko yaad hai?

Geet pretends to be not interested...

Geet: kaun hai?

Vicky: hare bhool gayi? Humne uss din ground mein dekha tha na? kaise sixer Martha? Mujhe toh pehle hi patha tha ye zaroor ek din Indian team mein khelega, mujhe toh ussi din isski autograph lena chahiye thi...

Vicky is disappointed...

Geet: itna udaas hone ki koi zaroorat nahi, ye koi star war nahi hai, tubelight hai, jaldhi isski fuse phad jayegi

Vicky: Geet, tum dekhthe raho ye kitne ahccha opener bantha, did you see him running between the wiclets? Kitna tez doudtha?

Geet: haan haan ussi speed mein team se bahar bhi jayega, dekhlo

Vicky: tumme cricket ke barein mein kya patha?

Geet: mein toh sab kuch jaanthi hoon, issiliye toh kehthi hoon ki ye hero nahi zero hai

Vicky: toh tum mujhe challenge karthi ho? woh bhi cricket ke mamale mein?

Geet: haan

Vicky: toh teek hai, mein kehtha hoon ki ye iss series mein kam se kam ek century banayega

Geet: nahi banayega

Vicky: challenge? Mein jeet gaya toh tumme apna scooty mujhe dena padega aur tujhe bus mein jaana padega

Geet: haan challenge, agar mein jeet gayi toh tumme roz mera scooty saaf karna padega

Geet thought that he will never win...

But MSK ke upar bet lagaya hai toh zaroor jeet hi jayega haina?

Though Geet hated to watch Maan playing she had to as she had challenged her brother that he will be a looser...she is faraid that she may have to give her scooty to him...

Actually it was his scooty till Geet joined sanjeevani...

Mr.Handa gave it to her as she needed it to get to the hospital in time...

Vicky ka office toh paas mein hi hai, he can catch a bus...

Moreover it's not comfortable for young women to travel in the over crowded buses...

Ranno didn't want Geet to suffer...

Vicky was mad at her when she offered to drop him at the bus station...

He would better walk to work rather taking a lift from her...

Now he wants revenge...he wants his scooty back...

Geet is not ready to part her scooty...

It has made her travels up and down 8 kms daily very easy...

If not for her two wheeler she had to hop from one bus to another for it takes two bus rides to get to sanjeevani...

It's match day...

Geet comes back early to watch the team bat...

It's is a 3 match series so she prays to babaji that Maan doesn't score a hundred in those three matches only...

The first two matches Maan made 12 and 5 runs only...

So Geet is happy that he will not make a hundred at all...

The last match...

Geet is glued to the TV...

She had done her paryers as usual and today too Maan won't bat well...

So here is the first fan praying against her home team...Geet this is not fair, job hi ho Maan ho toh Indian player, haina?

Par Geet kissi MSK ke liye apne scooty kurban kyun degi?

Waise isske hundred se Geet ki nuksaan hi hoga toh Geet ko jaise bhi ussko rokhna hi chahiye, haina babaji?

So be kind to me as always for I'm your loyal follower not like the others who pray only when there is matches...

Geet is talking about her brother who thinks of God only when there is a cricket match...

But Geet prays daily...in the mornings and before going to bed...

Geet tires to blackmail babaji?

Lekhin koi faida nahi kyunki babaji ne pehle hi inn donno ki taqdeer ko ek banadiya haina...

So despite of all her paryers and curses Maan makes 104 in that last match and India win the series...Maan wins a perth in the next tour of Australia ...

Poor Geet lost the challenge to her brother again...

She should have ernt her lessons from her first loss itself...

She should not have bet againat MSK again...

For MSK is a winner...

Next day...

Vicky: Geet, jaldhi tayaar ho jao warna bus choot jayegi

Geet: tumme toh

Geet gets angry...

She had to sacrifice her sleep just to catch the bus...

And she hates waking up early while her brother si still enjoying his morning nap after his jogging...

Vicky wakes up earlier and always disturbs Geet...

Geet throws the perfume bottle at him...

Vicky catches it...

Vicky: thanks Geet

Geet: ye girl's perfume hai

Vicky: tabhi toh girls ko pasand aayega haina?

Vicky winks...

Geet: tujhse kyun baat kar rahi hoon mein, tu chal hat, maa mera tiffin?

Handaji: Geet, mein tumme Sanjeevani drop kartha hoon beta

Vicky is shocked...

Vicky: maa, kya ye Geet aapke akheli aulad hai, mein nahi?

Ranno: pagal, aaise kyun kehthe ho?

Vicy: itne din mein bus stop daudhthe daudthe jaatha toh bhi inko mujhe drop karne ki yaad nahi aayi, ab dekho issko Sanjeevani drop karenge?

Handaji: Ranno, isse kehdho ki zyada behas nahi kare, warna meri beti ki scooter usse cheating karkke cheene ke liye kahin kal se isse paithal office jaana toh nahi padhe

Vicky: kya? meinne cheating kiya? Aaisa iss chater ne kaha

Vicky gets angry...

Geet: maa, dekho iss Bandar ko, mere baal

Handaj: ranno, tumamre bete se kaho ke mere beti pe haath nahi lagane ki, warna mera haath ko kaam dena padega

Ranno: Vicky, chodho usse, ye toh kitni chalaak hai, aur dekho kitne boli banne ki natak karthi hai?

Handaji: meir beti chalaak hai? tum aur tummare bete chalaak honge meri beti mere jaise bahut immandar aur sacha insaan hai

Ranno: ha ha ha, aap aur aapki sachaayi, ye desh Gandhiji ko bhi tabhi yaad karthi jab munna bhai yaad dilatha, aur aap hai abhi bhi Gandhiji ke zamaane mein?

Handaji: ab imandaari ka raj wapas aaraha hai, AAP ki jeet dekha?

Ranno: woh toh jeet ke aage jaana jaanthe hai, aapke tarah nahi

Handaji: matlab? Mein nakamiyaab hoon?

Ranno: meinne toh aaisa nahi kaha, aap ko kudh aaisa lagtha toh mein kya karoon?

Vicky and Geet leave leaving the bigger Tom and Jerry to fight...

Part - 3

At KM...

Dadi is happy for Maan...

Finally his hardwork has paid off...

Dadi prays to god that He keep her Maan busy in his games like this so that Maan would come out of his bad habit...drinking...

But Dadi has no idea that success too is celeted with alcohol...

Maan comes very late owimg to a party ith his friends...

Dadi is very disappointed...

She knows very well that this habit will put an end to his cricketing career sooner or later...

Maan somehow manages to keep off drinking during matches as he too knows that it's his life now...

He succeeds in getting a permanent place in the one day squad...

Though Geet is not much interested in this Maan, she can't stop herself from admiring his game and style...

And the girls going gaga over him hurts her a little...

She thinks that he doesn't deserve such adulation, after all he is so proud and full of attitude...

This is not a good sign for a good player, sachin ko hi dekho, aaj bhi kitna humble hai...issiliye toh aaj bhi millions like him and adore him...

Babaji, issko jaldhi sabak sikhana, warna ye apne ahankar se hi barbad ho jayega...

Somehow Geet wants him to keep playing...she loves watching him play...

Itna achcha kehltha toh India bhi jeetega, aur issiliye Geet chahathi ki ye aaisa hi khelein, haina? Aur kuch nahi? Personally she hates his attitude and his gamand...haina?

But whenever Maan plays she is glued to the TV, parying for his success...

Just like any other crazy MSK fan she has also become this diehard fan of his...

Little did Geet know where this fanfare is going to take her...

Ranno has spoted the difference in her and she thinks that they should add another line in the matrimonial column when they look for a groom, handsome, well educated, plump salary and should be a cricket fan...but for Vicky she would want her bahu to be a serial lover for she needs to strengthen her team, now it's 3 - 1 minority, after Geet's wedding it would be 2 - 1 and when her bahu comes it should be 2 -2 then it would be interesting to see what Vicky does? Support his father or wife?

Now Geet has become superstitious too waering same earrings whenever Maan plays and so on...

She never thought she would end up doing such crazy things which looked insane for her earlier...

But Vicky says that these are the characteristics of a true Indian fan, welcome to the insane cricket fan club Geet...

At KM...

Dadi is happy with Maan's progress...

And the critics are quick to point out his weakness along with his strenghths as a batsman, Maan's irregular timings, constant absence from practice and preparation camps, his lack of commitment, and his over confidence...

Dadi knows the reason behind this, it's not that he is taking everything for granted or he is not interested in cricket, it's his drinking habit that comes in the way of his career once in a while and that is not acceptable in this gentlemen's game of cicket, you should be a gentleman first on and off the field like Sachin or Captain cool Dhohi, and hone your cricket skills and body staying away fron bad habits and bad company...you have a lot of examples for players ending their successful career b'coz of bad behavior and over confidence and complacency ...

Dadi wants someone to keep him in check, someone to take the responsibility of his mother and who has that right to question him, correct him, and punish him when he is wrong, you need some one to point out his mistakes, and that would surely be his better half...hare ab toh Dadi apne sare zamidariyan apne bahu ko sopna ki intrezaar kar rahi haina?

Dadi has pampered Maan and spoilt him too much that he takes her for granted now, he knows the art of fooling her with fake promises...

"Dadi, kal se dekho, mein ussko chootha bhi nahi, choona kya uske taraf dekhtha bhi nahi"

Next day...

"sorry Dadi, woh meinne toh ussko chooa bhi nahi, woh karan haina, ussne zabardasthi mujhe philadhi"

And he makes another promise..."ab dekho, ye aakhri vada hai"

Dadi knows that his promises only hold in the mornings and when the evening comes they vanish into thin air...

Some of his team mates and seniors who have true affection and who really care about his career try to advice him but Maan hates advices...though he tries hard to keep himself under control he has become so addicted that he has lost control on himself now...

And the team for the Newzealand tour is announced...

Maan is part of the team now...

He is very happy...

He has proved himself as a strong opener in India and he has to prove that abroad too...

It's more important to win abroad, we need a good opening stand, and the team has high hopes on him, this is a huge responsibility on his shoulder and he is ready for this, he has awaited such a challenge and he likes challenges, and the wickets in Newzealand being bowler friendly Maan has a tough task ahead...he is committed and he keeps his friends and his dear drinks away for the past few days and is serious with his cricket...he hates failures...he is here to win, never has he lost in his life before and that won't happen in the future too...

*Don'y compare this with our Newzealand tour L ...any cricket fan here?*

Maan had a rough start but he is backed by his captain...

He is confident that he can get back to his form and he works hard at the nets which is unusual...

Btu someone is not that much happy with his performance...

Geet feels as if she has failed...

She is so frustrated...

She knows that it's not in her hands to change someones fortunes, but how she wished to see him winning, and scoring like he used to do in the beginning...

So is Maan, staying away from his bad company and under the watchful eyes of his manager and most importantly his cricket has kept him away from his bad habit...

Though there are many chances for him to drink he knows that he is a new member and he respects his seniors and he also loves his game, and his bad form doesn't help him to relax...

He concentrates in his practice and in the last game which is a series decider Maan has to prove his critics wrong who had already written him off as a failure abroad...

And guess what? It's Geet's b'day and she is not in a mood to celebrate...

Ranno makes her laddu and asks her to have a darshan of babaji before heading to Sanjeevani...

Geet gets ready earlier...

Vicky has forgot her b'day as usual and is thinking about India's match today...

It's a crucial game, the last match...

Ranno is still busy preparing her lunch...

Breakfast bhi tayaar nahi hai...

Geet ko bhi khana ka mann nahi laga...

She leaves without having her breakfast...

At the gurudhwara she sincerely prays to god for Maan's success...

Apne b'day ko bhi bhool gayi...

Sirf Maan ki jeet chahathi...

She never knew how she became such a Maan maniac...

She often laughed at people who worship their idols and treat them like god...

She would never do that...

But she has got addicted to this man's style and attitude and his game...

She wants him to win always which is not possible...

If he returns without scoring in this match too then his cricketing career will end and maybe he won't be able to make it to the team again...

Then she can't see him on TV...

Then what will she do?

Then how will she watch cricket...

She got hooked to cricket b'coz of Maan you should say...

She was not so addicted before that...

Now she had become so crazy even Vicky is left behind...

She loves watching him...

She wants to keep watching him...

She wants to see him at the top...

She wants him to play for many many years so that she can keep watching him...

It's just like the Maneetians who love to watch them forever...

Geet Maan ke naam ki pooja karthi...aur Dhoni aur Indian team ka bhi pooja karthi...

Apne janam din pe kissi anjaan aadmi jiskko sirf TV pe dekhthi usske naam ke pooja karthi, toh ye toh pagal ho gayi hai...haina babaji?

You have so many fans praying and holding poojas for their stars to perform well...

This is quite common atleast in our country...

And Geet's prayers don't go waste...

Her babaji had fulfilled her janam din wish...

Maan hits his maiden test century helping India win the series and bagging the man of the match for himself...

His teammates are very proud of him,,,,,

Vicky apologises for forgetting Geet's b'day and promised to get her a cake if India wins...

India had won and Geet is very happy...

Her star Maan has won the match for them...

It's all the more special for it's her b'day...

It's really the best b'day gift she had ever got...

And she falls in love with this man instantly...

This is just a love for his game...and nothing more...

Part - 4

Vicky takes Geet out to get a cake...

It's already mid-night and everyone is celebrating the victory...

They are so happy as if they have won some battle...

The fans come out on the roads and celebrate their success with the pthers...

They part sweets among the crowd and congradulate each other though they don't even know the name of the other person...

The fire crackers...shout slogans...

Some even chant Maan's name...

Geet feels so happy to hear his name...

As it's celebration time the cake shop is still open and there are special cakes made for the criclet fans...

Vicky gets one in the shape of a bat...

Geet cuts the cake at the shop itself with the fans cheering her...

They thought it's for the winning team...

Vicky says that it's his sisters b'day and she is a cricket fan too...

They all hug and wish her though they are strangers till last minute...

Geet has never celebrated such a wonderful b'day...

All thanks to Maan, had he not hit the century and India had not won Geet wuldn't have got this cake fron her brother...he would have said that her b'ady is very unlucky for India and he would have prayed that no other match falls on that date...

Maan too celebrates his success with the team...

And maybe one day they will celebrate together...

The team returns and the fans throng the airport to receive them...

Vicky had also gone to cheer the boys with his friends...

he didn't tell Geet...

He came back and told her that he saw the boys with the cup and he also saw Maan...

But the securities didn't let them go near them and meet them...

He is very disappointed...

Geet is also disappointed...

Geet: mujhe chodkke gaye haina? Toh aaisa hi hoga

Vicky: tumme lekhe jaatha toh mujhe airport ke andar hi jaane nahi dethe

Geet: kya? tum jaanthe haina ki mere b'day pe hi hum jeethe hai

Vicky: haan haan, jaise tum ne unkko jithaya?

Geet: hhhmmm, mein ne bhi babaji se dua kiya tha

Vicky laughs...

Geet: kyun hasthe ho?

Vicky: agle bar Dhoni se kehthe ki woh bhi practice chodkke tummare saath dua karne aaye, haina?

Geet: tum dekhthe raho agle bar tummara team har jayega

Vicky: kya kaha tumne?

Geet: haan har jayenge tummare stars, aur woh MSK duck out hoga

Geet andar hi andar babaji se kehthi ki ye sirf ek mazak hai, aap issko bhool jao...teek hai?

Vicky gets angry...

Vicky: Geeet

Geet: maaa , dekho bhai ko mujhe mar rahe hai

Vicky: kya?

Ranno: Vicky, tumme toh apne behen ki itna bhi parwa nahi, bahar jaake dekho sab apbe behen ke liye kya kya karthe hai

Vicky: unkke behenne iss ke tarah shaitan nahi honge

Geet: shaitan? Mein? Tum shaitan ho

The fight continues till Handaji comes and supports Geet...

Jeet toh hamesha Geet ka hi hotha hai...

Vicky bechare ko hamesha Geet ke wajhe se dhaant khana padtha...

Maan's friends wait for Maan to return...

They want to celebrate his success...

Mehnat Maan kartha aur masti ye karthe?

They ask him to throw a party...

They know Maan's weakness for alcohol and they arrange a drinks party...

Dadi was just happy that Maan has diverted his attention towards cricket from drinking...

But after so much hardwork Maan is lured by his friends to relax and have some fun...

Itna mehnat toh issiliye katrthe haina? To have a taste of triump?

Maan gets back to drinking from that day...

Having a minths break fron the hectic cricket schedule doesn't help much...

Maan shuns his practice sessions and remains drunk all the time...

Dadi ne Maan ko rokhne ki bahut koshish ki, lakhin Maan ghar jaatha toh Dadi kuch kar pathi?

Maan din raat kissi na kissi friend ke yahan party karthe rehtha...

Ab Maan sare bills settle kartha toh har din koi na koi party organize kar hi detha...

This is the result of bad company...

Aaisa hi ek din Maan kissi party attend karkke ghar wapas jaa raha hai...

Aaj toh Maan ko drive karne ka mann kartha...

Driver ne Maan ko rokhne ki bahut koshsih ki, lekhin MSK koi driver ke baat ko kaise manega?

Maan driver se chabi lekhe kudh drive kartha...

Itne nashe mein Maan control hi nahi kar patha...

Aur sadak ke side pe kissi ped par gadhi takratha...

Achcha hua ki uss waqt koi aur gadhi nahui aayi, warna kissi ko kuch ho jaatha toh?

Driver bhi saath mein that oh ussko bhi chot lagb gayi...

Maan too broke his leg...

Being a sportsman this could mean the end of his career...

Maan behosh ho jaatha...

Driver hosh mein that oh ussne ambulance ko bhuladhiya...

Aur woh Maan ko Sanjeevani lekhe jaathe hai...

Geet toh wahi apna internship kar rahi haina?

As Maan is a cricketer this became a breaking news...

Media people surround the hospital and Geet is puzzled to see all this drama...

Pehle Geet ko lagtha ki hamesha ki tarah koi politicial ya film star admit hua hoga...

Sanjeevani city ka sabse bada hospital jo hai...

Ek minute Geet becomes curious to know who is in the hospital, kahin salman toh nahi?

Hare Geet, tumme Salman se milna hai toh kissi shoot pe chale jaathi, aaise ussko Hospital mein admit kyun karwana chahathi? Phir Geet ko apne galthi ka ehsaas hotha, sorry babaji, mere salman ka rakhsha karna...ye zaroor koi aur hi hoga?

Geet ko aaise fan following se koi interest nahi hai, she just ignores them...

Vicky calls Geet and aks her about Maan...

Geet is surprised...Maan yahan kyun aayega?

Jab Geet ko patha chala ki koi accident hai she just wants to make sure he is safe...

And then she learns that he is fine and nothing serious...

She tries to keep away from him...

Ye koi star hai toh TV pe dekhteh hai, issi milkke kya faida?

Bechara toh yahan patient bankke aaya hai...

But her heart still wishes to have a glimpse...

She won't run after someone like a lunatic, star hai toh usska kaam hai fans ko entertain karna aur hum bhi ussko TV pe dekhkke kush hothe, use aage kuch nahi hai, haina babaji?

Geet thinks that afterall he is just another person ...

See he too drunk drive and made an accident...

Ye koi mahan nahi hai, ye bhi galthi kartha hai...

Achcha hua ki kissi ki jaan ko koi kathra nahi?

Ye star hai toh kuch bhi kar saktha hai kya?

Issko toh jail mein dalna chahaiye, tabhi toh sudrega...

Geet is angry with herself for supporting Maan all these days...

Talent is God's gift and one should not be judged by that alone, you are judged by your character and your deeds, jaise Sachin hai, tabhi toh woh all time super star hai...

MSK...the budding cricket star...huh...damn it...nothing is real...

It's all fake, yahi asli MSK hai, aur ye toh bahut bhura hai, bilkul Dhust Danav...

She hates alcoholics...and that too he has driven the car after drinking...

What a criminal act? He could have all the money but his money can't buy a life if he runs over someone...haina?

Geet hates Maan, yes, all the admiration turns into hatred...

Maan falls very low in her POV...

Part - 5

Geet wants to saty away from Maan...

He has fallen in her eyes not only as a cricketer but also as a human being...

She hates people who have no respect for others and think that they are the only people ruling this whole world...

Now she hates herself for being a fan of this MSK...

This attitude and arrogance should be limited to the sports field that too only in the game, not outside it, and this man is a real devil...

But being a physiotherapist Geet had to meet this VIP...

Maan ki treatment shuru karthe hai...

After a couple of days physiotherapy sessions start karna hoga...

Vicky had been pestering Geet to take him with her tot sanjeevani...

He has to see Maan somehow...

Geet had to do this for her brother...

Vicky is very happy...

Abhi isskke autograph aur photograph letha hoon, kya patha kal yahi gala sachin ban gaya toh?

Waise Vicky ko Maan ki batting bahut pasand hai, kaise bat kartha? Bina koi dar ki, haina?

Geet too likes his batting style but she always disagrees with her brother and this time too she had to go against his liking...

She always argues that Maan is not such a great player and pretends to hate him...

Ye toh zyada din nahi chalega...

He is just lucky to score those runs, he will not last much longer, we will have to wait and watch...this is too early to judge him...she keeps saying so...just to aanoy her brother...

Vicky says that she is a cricket illiterate and it's better for her to keep her views with herself...

Ye kya jaathi hai cricket ke barein mein? Mein toh challenge kartha hoon ki ye zaroor agla star banega...

Vicky keeps talking about Maan with Geet...

Geet ko toh game ki technical batein saamj mein nahi aathe, she just keeps nodding her head...

Geet Vicky ko Maan ke room no bathathi, Geet ko koi aur kaam hai toh Geet Vicky ko pehle jaane ko kethi, Geet badh mein aayegi...

She deliberately avoids going there...

Ussko apne bhai ko kissi ke samne gidgidathe hue dekhne pasand nahi hai...

Jo bhi ho Vicky uska bhai hai aur Geet usski bahtu izzat karthi...

Chahe ye MSK kitna bhi bada batsman ho, Geet ke liye apna bhai se badahiya toh nahi ho saktha...

She is very clear that evreyrone has his own speciality and talents, no one os bigger than the other, and she values her self respect more than anything ...

What if he is a star? you admire them, adore them and just forget them and get back to your life which is real and much more significant, haina?

But little did Geet know that he is going to invade her life and he is going to be part of her life soon...

Vicky Maan se milne jaatha...

Dr had informed Maan that the physio would come for the therapy sessions and has to co-operate with them...

Maan is waiting for the physio...

When Vicky comes to see Maan he thinks that Vicky is the physio...

Maan ko kaise patha hoga ki koi ladhki yahan ka physio hogi?

As soon as Vicky enters the room and sees Maan he is overwhelmed with joy and he starts parising Maan's batting abilities...

Maan thinks that he must be a cricket fan...

Vicky gets Maan's autograph...

Maan is loosing his patience...when will he start his treatment? Aaise hi chaltha toh ye Maan ko help nahi karega balki maan ussko batting sikhayega?

Maan: toh ab toh humme shuru karna chahiye, haina Mr.Vicky?

Vicky: what? Kya shuru karna hai?

Maan: oyu are the physio? Right?

Vicky begins to laugh...

Maan gets angry...what is so funny about it?

Agar Maan ka legs teek hothe toh aj Vicky wahan se bachkke nahi jaatha, ussko bhi yahi admittion miltha, haina?

Par ab Maan kuch nahi kar patha...

Maan gets angry with himself...

Just then Geet comes in...

Vicky: hare Geet, aao, Maan se millo

Maan: ye kaun hai?

Maan sochtha ki aur kitne pagal fans bahar kadhe hai?

Vicky: ye meri sister hai ye bhi aapka fan hai

Geet stares Vicky...

Geet: kya?

Maan: kya? ye hospital hai ya koi hotel? Jo chahe andar laise aathe? Koi hai? hare yahan ka securities kya karthe? Tum log andar kaise aaye? Just get lost, idiots , yahan bhi disturb karne aathe...

Maan lets out all his frustrations and he is in pain too...

Geet had expected this...

Ye aaisa hi hai, isse koi umeed nahi kar sakthe, upar se ye drunken drive ka case hai toh Geet ko pura yakheen ho gaya ki ye ek no ka gunda hai...gamandi akdu insaan...

Geet: kay bhai: ab toh aap kush haina? Meinne pehle hi kaah ki ye baktameez gainka hai, aap nahi amthe, ab dekha aapne, ab jayiye aap, mein aapki beizzatthi bardaasht nahi kar sakthi

Vicky leaves...

Maan: tum kyun rukh gayi? Tum bhi chale jao, just leave me alone

Maan shouts as he doesn't know what to do, he hates to be in bed...

Geet stares him...

Geet: mein bhi yahan rukhna nahi chahathi, par kya kaein ye toh hummara kaam haina? Yahan koi bhi aaye, gunda badmaash kamina ya khooni humme toh sab patients he haina?

Maan: what? How dare you call me a murderer?

Geet: kyun aap khooni banna chahathe? Aaise hi phithe rahi toh zaroor aapka spana sach ho jayega

Maan: kya?

Geet: haan, aap jaldhi khooni ban jayenge

Maan: tum...samaj the kya aopne aapko?

Geet: baabji, patha nahi hummare sanjeevani ka kya hoga? Aap kaise kaise logon ko hummare paas bhejthe ho? inko hum kaise ilaaj kar sakthe? Inko toh aap bhi bacha nahi sakthe, haina?

Maan: tum yahan kaam karthi ho?

Geet: haan, mein yahan ka physio hoon

Maan looks at her from top to bottom...

Ye toh kissi bhi angle mein physio nahi lagthi...

Haan ye toh cheer leader zaroor bana sakthi...

Maan: kya bakwaas karthi ho? jao, asli physio ko bhulakke aao, tum chahe toh autograph lelo

Geet: kya? tumne mujhe insult liya hai, mein bhi dekhthi hoon kit um kaise yahan rukhthe, mein abhi chief se baat karthi hoon...

Geet goes and complaints to her chief...

But the chief is also helpless, MSK ke khilaaf koi action le saktha hai kya?

Geet then decides that she would not attend Maan's case...

The chief agrees to send another physio...

Lekhin Maan nahi mantha, koi ladhki Maan se takrathi toh Maan kaise chup reh saktha?

Maan wants the same physio...

Ab chief bhi Geet ki madat nahi kar sakthe!

Geet ka internship agle mahine complete hoga, iss waqt Geet koi aur Hospital join nahi kar sakthi...

Geet ko iss dhust Danav ko kaise bhi bardaasht karna hi padega...warna ye aamir log toh kuch bhi kar sakthe hai, haina?

Geet apne parents ko pareshaan karna nahi chahathi...

Geet wapas Maan ke paas jaathi...

Part - 6

Maan looks at Geet and smiles...

Woh toh hasega hi, ussi ki jeet hui na?

Lekhin Geet ussko itne aasani se jeetne nahi degi...

Ab issko bhi patha chale ki Geet Handa se panga lene se kya ho saktha? Haina babaji?

Maan:hare, tum yahan? Tum toh mujhe yahan se nikhalne wali thin a? ab kya hua?

Maan teases her...

Geet: yahan se nikaal toh nahi sakthi, par ab delthe hai kit um yahan se bahar kaise jaathe ho?

Maan: what do you mean?

Geet: I mean, aap bahut jaldhi bahar jaa sakthe, tabhi toh mein yahan chain se kaam kar sakthi, haina?

Maan: tum jaanthi haina ki mein kaun hoon? MSK hoon, mujhse bachke jaana itna aasaan nahi hai, samji tum

Geet: just shut up

Maan: kya?

Geet: chalo, shuru karthe hai, kadhe ho jao

Maan struggles to stand on his own...

Geet helps him, Maan puts his hands over her shoulder...

Ek minute Geet is stunned but hse recovers herself...

Geet sambalo apne aapko, ye bhi koi mamooli patient hi hai, aur kuch nahi, Geet statue ho gayi...

Maan ussko dekhthe hi rehtha...

He shakes her up...

Maan: kya hua? Bhool gayi ho kya ki aage kya karna hai?

Geet: nahi, ab issko pakdo

Geet gives him the walker...

Maan: walker? Mein itna budda nahi ho gaya, tum dekh nahi skathi, mein abhi bhi jawaan hoon

Geet: hare, pakhdo isse, warna jawaani mein hi chalna bhool jaoge, issko pakdo, tum mere patient ho, boss nahi, samje?

Maan: tumme dekhke toh aaise nahi lagtha ki tum ek doctor ho

Geet: phir kaise lagtha?

Maan: tum toh chikne chameli lagthi ho

Geet: what? Come again

Maan: kuch nahi, ab aage kya karna hai?

Geet: pehle turn karo

Geet turns him around so that he faces the wll...

Geet ussko galat instructions dethi hai...

Geet ussko sabak sikhana chahthi haina? Waise Maan ko zyada chot toh nahi lagi, ek hafte mein teek ho jayega...

Geet chahathi hai ki ye aur ek hafte aaise hi suffer karein...kissi na kssi ko toh issko punish karna hi padega, haina babaji?

Aaise sochkke Geet Maan se thoda zyzda hi workout karwathi...

Next day...

Maan has developed some complications...

He needs a surgery...

Ye toph Geet ki treatment ka hi asar lagtha...

Chief doctor Geet se poochthe hai ki ye kaise hua?

Geet says that it's not her fault...

But she knows that she shouldn't have done like that...

Ye koi aam aadmi thodi nahi hai, cricketer haina?

Agar Geet ke wakhe se Maan aage khel nahi patha toh?

Geet babaji se dua karthi hai ki Maan ko jaldhi teek karein, Geet aage se aaise galthi kabhi nahi karegi...

Dadi bhi aagaye hai...

Dadi Geet se poochthe rehthi ki Maan kab OT se baahr aayega, Maan kitna bhi galthi karein, lekhin Dadi toh Maan se bahtu pyaar karthi haina?

Geet Dadi ko console karthi...

Kitne pyaare Dadi hai? lekhin potha toh?

Maan ko OT se bahar lekhe aathe hai...

Maan ko aaise dekhkke Geet ko bhi bahut bhura lagtha...

Behare toh kab se bahar jaane ke liye taras raha tha...

Haan haan, kyun nahi tarastha, ussko friends ke saath jaakke pina jo hai...

Aur ussi ke wajhe se ye sare problems kade ho gaye...

Bechari Geet kaise jaanegi ki Maan kal raat kissi ko drinks lekhe aane ko kehtha aur woh chup ke se utakke ussko lekhe jaane ke koshish karkke neeche girgaya tha...

Dadi Dr se Maan ki haal poochthe...

Dr: Savithriji, aap ko fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, aapka potha bahut jaldh hi teek ho jayega..., lekhin cricket khelne mein thoda waqt lagega

Dadi: Dr, Maan ko aap kitne din hospital mein rakh sakthe? I mean, kitne din Maan ko yahan riukhna padega?

Dr: kam se kam dus din yahan rukhna padega, phir aap ussko ghar lekhe jaa sakthe

Dadi: nahi, aap Maan ko kan se kam ek mahine yahan rehne dijiye

Geet is confused...sab jaldhi teek hokke ghar jaana chahathe hai, par dadi toh aaise kyun kehthe hai?

Dr: aap chahe toh mr,Maan pura teek hone tak yahi rukh sakthe

Dadi: thank you very much Dr, woh kya haina? Hum unko ghar pe akhele sambal nahi payenge

Dr: no problem Savithriji, hum bhi toh yahan patients ko serve karne ke liye hi hai

Maan ko room mein lekhe jaathe...

Geet is puzzled with dadi's actions...

She goes along with dadi...

Mann abhi bhi behosh hai...

Dadi bahut takhi hui hai, Maan ko lekhe bahut pareshaan jo haina?

Geet: m'am, aap chahe toh mein aap ke liye juice lekhe aathi hoon, aap thoda aaram kijiye

Dadi: thanks bete, aap bhi ortho hai?

Geet: nahi m'am, mein physio hoon

Dadi: very good

Geet: toh mein abhi juice lekhe aathi hoon

Geet dadi ke liye juice lekhe aathi...

Geet: m'am, kya mein aapse kuch pooch sakthi hoon?

Dadi: of course bete, kya poochna chahathe hai?

Geet: thoda personnel hai

Dadi: toh aap bhi Maan ka fan hai?

Geet: kya?

Dadi: hummara matlab cricket fan

Geet: ji nahi

Dadi: phir aap Maan ke barein mein kyun jaana chahathe hai?

Dadi ko shak hotha, koi pyaar ka chakkar hai kya?

Dadi toh hamesha apne Maan ke shadhi ke barein mein hi sochthe rehthi haina? Har ladhki Maan ke bahu hi lagthi, aur Geet toh bahut sundar bhi hai, samajdar bhi hai, physio bhi hai...

Lekhin Maan toh 24*7 pub mein hi rehthe, phir kaise?

Geet: aap mujhe galat samaj rahe ho

Dadi: nahi nahi, aap poocho, kya poochna chahathe hai aap?

Geet: woh... aap ke ghar pe koi problem hai kya?

Dadi is shocked...issko kaise patha apne problem?

Dadi: nahi toh...aap ko aaise kyun lagtha?

Geet: nahi, jo bhi yahan aathe hai jaldhi se jaldh ghar jaana hi chahathe hai, apr aap toh

Geet stops...

Dadi smiles reluctantly...

Dadi: toh aap hummare batein sunrahe the

Geet is scared...ye toh mujhe galat samajh gaye hai...

Geet: nahi nahi

Dadi: kyunke hummare ghar mein aap ke jaise pyaari kudhi nahi hai na

Geet: what?

Dadi: hare, hummare madat karne ke liye koi nahi haina

Geet: achcha?

Dadi: haan bete, Maan ke maa unke paas hothe toh humme koi bhi fikar nahi hothi

Geet: kyun woh kahan hai?

Dadi: woh bagwan ke paas chale gaye

Dadi bahut udaas hothi...

Geet ko bahut bhura lagtha...toh issiliye ye aaisa hai?

Dadi: yahan rehthe toh aap log hummare Maan ke ahcche se dekhbal karthe haina?

Geet: haan, haan, ye toh hummara farz hai

Dadi: issiliye hum chahthe hai ki hum yahi rahe

Geet: aap fikar mat kijiye, aap ko jo bhi chahiye toh mujhe bula sakhte

Dadi gets naughty...

Dadi: par hum patient nahi hai bete

Geet: mein bhi aapki hi madat karna chahathi hoon, iss Dhust danav ki nahi

Dadi: kya?

Geet: kuch nahi, aap kabhi bhi mujhe call kar sakthe, mera no ******, mein yahi hoon, neeche, ab mein chalthi hoon

Dadi: thanks bete

Part - 7

Geet : teek hai m'am, ab mein chalthi hoon

Dadi: hare, aap thode dher hummare saath rukh nahi sakthe?

Geet: par m'am

Dadi: aap saath hothe toh humme thoda achcha lagega

Geet smiles and looks at Maan...

Maan ko hosh aatha...

Maan: dadi

Dadi: Maan bete, ye aapne kya kardhi? Hum ne kitne bar kaha ki ye bahut bhuri aadat hai

Maan looks at Geet...then he looks at dadi...

Dadi sabke samne kuch bhi bolthe hai...woh bhi iss pagal ke samne...

Pehle hi ye Maan ko bahut izzat karthi?...

Maan: tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?

Geet: woh...mein

Maan: Dadi, Adi abhi tak nahi aaya?

Dadi: Adi office chala gaya

Maan: lekhin meinne ussko yahan aane ko kaha tha

Dadi: humne hi unko wapas bheja hai, hum haina aapke paas

Maan gets irritated...

Maan: aapko yahan aane ki kya zaroorat thi?

Geet is shocked...ye kaise batein kartha?

But Dadi is used to this, ye sab uss daru ka asar hai...

Maan needs it desperately...Dadi is here to stop him...

Dadi: Maan bete, jab aap yahan hai toh hum kaise nahi aathe?

Maan: aapko takleef lene ki kya zaroori hai, aap ghar jaake aaram kyun nahi karthe?

Dadi bahut upset hothe...

Dadi: Maan bete, ye aap kaise batein kar rahe hai? hum aapko aaise haal mein akhele kaise chodke jaathe?

Geet feels that there is some problem...

She doesn't want to interfere in their personnel matter...

And she can't stand Maan's rude attitude towards his own Dadi, she just hates him all the more...

Yahan rehthi toh zaroor jagdah ho jayega...

Geet: toh m'am, mein chalthi hoon

She leaves them alone...

Geet keeps thinking about Dadi and feels bad for her...

Maan ko dadi ki koi parva nahi hai...

Kaise aadmi hai? bahut bade cricketer ho toh kya hua? Apne dadi se koi aaise baat kartha hai kya?

Mujhe toh usske shakal dekhthe hi patha chal gaya ki ye aaisa hi hoga, pura ka pura Dhust Danav, haina babaji?

Geet ki duty katam hone ke badh woh ghar jaane ke liye tayaar hai...

Jaane se pehle apne colleague se dadi ke khyaal rakhne ke liye kehkke jaathi...

Aur unke madat karne ke liye request bhi karkke jaathi...

That night Maan asks dadi to go home and take some rest, she can come back in the morning...

Dadi is not ready to leave him alone, but Maan sends her home somehow...

Then he calls Adi...

Adi drinks lekhe aatha...being an addict Maan couldn't stay away from alcohol any more...

He has turned mad and needs his drink very badly...

Adi too knows that he is not supposed to do this, but he is a mere servant, he works for Maan and it is his job to obey his master, moreover if he doesn't get him what he wants Maan would ask the wardboy or someone else to get him, that way the press people would get the news...

Pehle hi Maan ka naam karab ho gaya, iss accident ke badh, adi covered it up blamimg the driver for the accident...

Next day doctor ko patha chaltha ki Maan consumed alcohol and he gets very angry,,,,

He complaints to dadi that she should have taken this more seriously, it's her grandson's life, not any joke...

He also warns that the hospital won't allow him to saty further if he continues to disobey the rules...

Dadi ko pehle hi patha tha ki aaisa hi hoga, issiliye woh Maan ke paas rukhna chahthe the...

Dadi warns Adi not to repeat this mistake and asks him to go on a 15 day leave...

She also asks him to switch off his mobile for Maan would call him back somehow threatening him ...

Adi also wants Maan to get rid of this habit, but he is worried about Dadi, how will she manage alone?

Dadi says that she can manage with the help of the hospital staff...

Adi then leaves...

Geet comes in the evening...

She has taken her friends night duty as she had to attend her sick mother...

Warna Geet ka kaam toh sirf mornings mein hothi...

She doesn't know what happened last night...

She comes to Maan's room...

She just wanted to meet Dadi...

She also wants to know how Maan is doing...

Zyada problem toh nahi hogi?

She is still worried that she had done something wrong...

Dadi looks very upset, and she is worried about something...

What happened?

Kal ki tarah Geet se baat bhi nahi karthe?

Maan toh soothe hi raha shayad medicine ka asar ho?

Geet Dadi ko zyada pareshaan nahi karna chahathi, shayd dadi bahut tak gayi hogi...

She leaves for the moment but returns after a while to check if everything is fine...

Dadi is still awake...

Geet: aap ghar nahi gaye?

Dadi: kaise jaathe?

Dadi almost breaks down...tears run down her eyes...

Geet ko apne se itne bade buzurk ko rothe hue dekhke achcha nahi lagtha...

Geet: m'am, aap teek toh haina?

Dadi: hum toh teek hai, lekhin

Dadi looks at Maan...

Geet: kya baat hai? aap itna pareshaan kyun hai?

Dadi: humme sirf Maan ki chintha hai

Geet: aap kyun chintha karthe ho? woh jaldh hi teek ho jayenge

Dadi: nahi, Maan kabhi teek nahi honge

Geet: nahi nahi,yahan ka doctors toh sabse best hai

Dadi: woh baat nahi hai bete

Geet: toh phir?

Dadi: hum kaise kahe? M

Geet Dadi ek haath pakadke unko console karne ki koshish karthi...

Geet: ye kay? Aap ko toh bhukar hai, aap leitjayiye, aapko aaram ki zaroorat hai, mein tablet lekhe aathi hoon

Geet medicine lekhe aathi...

Dadi: kash humme aapke jaise pothi milthi

Geet: aap thode dher so jayiye

Dadi still keeps watching Maan...

Dadi: aaise haalat mein hum kaise so sakthe?

Geet: aap pehle ye dawa lo aur sojao, mein yahi hoon, aapke paas, aapko chintha karne ki koi zaroorat nahi, mere hothe hue yahan koi kuch nahi kar saktha, aap sojao

Dadi ko Geet pe pura barosa hai, she lies down to get some sleep...

Geet is also happy to help dadi...

She likes her so much...

Maan ki dadi haina? Shayad issiliye?

Nahi nahi, Geet ko sirf Dadi pasand hai...

Part - 8

Next day...

Dadi is feeling better...

She just hopes Geet could help Maan too?

Maan is feeling restless...

He is very angry that Adi has not yet come with his medicine?

Dadi knows him netter...he is not going to get his drink today...

Maan: ye Adi kahan mar gaya? Dadi aapko kuch patha hai kya?

Dadi: nahi bete

Maan: dadi, usska phone bhi nahi lag raha hai

Dadi: humne toh unko dekha bhi nahi

Maan: phir ye Adi ahcnak kahan gayab ho gaya?

Dadi: aapko Adi ki itna fikar kyun hotha hai bete?

Maan: woh...yahan aane wala tha

Dadi: lagtha hai unko koi aur zaroori kaam aagaya

Maan: isse zaroori kya kaam ho saktha? Ye Adi hamesha aaisa hi hai

Maan gets irritated...

Maan: Dadi, aap ne ussko kuch kahan?

Dadi: humme unko kya kahenge bete?

Maan: nahi dadi, Adi aaisa kabhi nahi kartha

Maan keeps on questioning Dadi...

Geet comes with the lunch for Dadi...

She had asked Ranno to prepare lunch for Dadi as she is sick...

Dadi ki tabyat teek nahi hai aur issko toh sirf apna fikar hai...

Geet ko ye sab pasand nahi aatha...

Geet: aap thode dher chup nahi reh sakthe?

Maan stares her...

Maan: tum yahan kya kar rahi ho? doctor ne kaha ki ek hafte ke liye tummara koi kaam nahi hai

Geet: mein Dadi se milne aayi hoon, aapko patha bhi hai ki Dadi ki tabyaat karab hai?

Maan: kya? Dadi, aap ko kya hua?

Geet: ab kyun poochthe ho? do din badh poochthe, Dadi aap khana khao, aapko dawa bhi lena haina?

Dadi: humme bhook nahi hai bete

Geet: aapko kissi ki fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi, aap pehle apna khyaal rakho

Geet keeps staring Maan...she looks very upset...

Maan gets angry...ye kaun hothi hai mujhpe naraaz hone ki?

Maan: tum kehna kya chahathi ho?

Geet: m'am, aap aaram kijiye, mein badh mein aathi hoon

Dadi: thanks bete, kal raat hummare madat karne ke liye

Maan is shocked...

Kal raat ye kaisi madat kar rahi thi...

Jab Maan nashe mein hotha toh patha nahi kya kya kartha?

Shayad kal raat Maan nashe mein kuch kadbad toh kiya nahi...

aur dadi ko madat lene ki koi aur nahi mila?

Pehle hi ye mujhe kissi khooni ki tarah dekhthi...ab toh ye mujhe janwaar hi sanajthi hogi?

Maan is a little worried now...

But he has never cared about what other would think about him...

He has not even bothered about Dadi's feelings...

And here he is worried that this silly girl would think bad about him...

Aur ussne toh sahi kaha, Dadi bahut kamzoor lagthe...

Maan: Dadi, kal raat kya hua?

Dadi: aap chodiye, aap jaanke kya karenge?

Maan: dadi, aapne Adi ko yahan aane se mana toh nahi kiya haina?

Dadi: Maan, aap kab sudrenge?

Dadi is fed up with him now...

Maan is also not happy that he has troubled Dadi so much, but he has no control over himself now...

Maan: Dadi, meinne pehle hi kaha ki aap ghar jaake aaram kijiye, ab dekho aap ka haal ?

Dadi: hum aapko iss halat mein chodke kaise jaathe bete? Kya aap apne khyaal rakhe sakthe? Nahi na?

Maan: aaj aap ghar jaake aaram karlo, warna aapki tabyat aur bigadjaathi

Dadi: humme apni koi parwa nahi hai

Maan: dadima, aap aaise kyun zidd karteh ho?

Dadi: kyunki hum aapki Dadi hai bete, aap ki zidd toh hummare hi gene hai

Maan sochthe rehtha ki kaise Dadi ko sambalein?

He waits for Dadi to sleep...

Apr Maan ko kya patha ki raat ki duty Geet ka hai...

He has already made arrangements for the night...

Adi nahi hai toh kya?

Paise detha toh kitne log aayenge?

He has got his stock for the night, lekhin ye dadi toh soothe hi nahi...

She is watching him like an eagle...

Geet too comes to her help...

Maan Geet ko dekhthehi chilane lagtha...

Maan: tum? Iss waqt?

Geet toh Maan ko jawaab bhi nahi dethi...

Maan: hare, tumne suna nahi? Tum yahan kyun aayi ho?

Geet smiles at Dadi...

Dadi is happy to see her...

They just ignore Maan...

Geet: ab aap kaise hai?

Dadi: hum toh sirf aapki intrezaar hi kar rahe the

Maan can't tolerate this...

Ye donno milkke Maan ke khilaaf koi sajist kar rahe hai...

Maan: halo, m'am, mujhe sona hai

Geet turns the other way...

Maan: tumne suna nahi meinne kya kaha?

Maan shouts...

Geet: kyun chilathe ho? Dadi ko bhi sona hai, m'am aap so jayiye

Geet helps Dadi...

Geet wahi table pe beitkke apna kaam karne kai...

Maan: ye kya hai iss hospital mein patients ko chain se sone bhi nahi dethe hai kya? mein abhi chief ko call kartha hoon

Geet is not bothered...

Chief ka phone bhi nahi lagtha...lagtha hai Maan ka network mein hi problem hai, kissi ka phone bhi nahi lagtha...

Kaise lagtha? Chief toh abroad gaye hai kissi conference attend karne...

Maan: tum apna kaam bahar jaake karo

Geet toh sunthi hi nahi...

Maan smashes the medicine tray...

Dadi pretends to be sleeping...

Let him do whatever he wmats...this is Geet's plan...

Geet doesn't move, she continues her work...ek bar mudke bhi nahi dekhthi...

Dadi ko ye sab dekhkke bahut maza aatha...

Ahccha hai Geet, ye toh humme kitna tang karthe hai, aaj inko aap ahccha jawaab dethe hai...

She comes and gives him a chit...

Maan: ye kya hai?

Geet: ye sab apne hi thoda haina? Iss ka bill, wow aapke haath mein kitna dam hai, ye lo issko bhi thodo

Geet gives him another instrument...

Maan is confused and annoyed at this behavior...

Maan: kya? pagal ho gayi ho kya?

Geet sochthi hai ki aaj mein tumme pagal banakke hi codthi...

Geet: woh kya haina? Ye teek se kaam nahi kartha, aur hummare kanjoos chief issko badalthe hi nahi, ab tummare paas itna paisa hai aur itna gussa bhi hai toh mein bhi isski thoda faida utana chahathi hoon, tummare gusse ki koi na koi faida toh hona chahiye haina? Kyunki ye aaise waise nahi MSK ki gussa hai

Ab Maan ko hi patha nahi ki iss ladhki ko kya karein?

Maan ko teek karna hai toh aaise hi kissi ki zaroorat hai, yahi Maan ko zabardast takkar de sakthi, Dadi toh ab Geet ko apne bahu hi manthe hai, MSK ka waat lag gaya...

Behcare Maan, he is hopeless...

He feels like a caged tiger, woh bhi wounded...
