KALPANA YADAV

It was a beautiful morning in Mumbai. Everyone is busy going about with their daily works. In the chawl, a woman is calling out,"Kalpi beta, come down breakfast is ready.. You need to get ready for your college. Remember, you have an interview today." She is Kamla, Kalpi's mother. A voice is heard from upstairs," Haan Aayi, bus aa rahi hoon." A girl comes down the stairs in a blue kurtha and black jeans with a smile on her face. She is Kalpi. She hugs Kamla and says,"Good Morning Aayi.". Kamla also wishes her Good Morning. She asks,"Kalpi, aaj meine tumhari mann pasand ka breakfast banaayi." Kalpi smiles and says,"Poha !!" Kamla nods. Kalpi says,"Jaldi khilaao naa Aayi." Kamla looks at her her adoringly and serves her the poha. While eatin, Kalpi asks,"Aayi . Where is Baba ?" Kamla says,"He has gone to the temple. He will be back." Just then Vitthal enters. Kalpi asks,"Baba, aaj inti subah, aap mujse milke bina temple chale gaye the..". Vittal says,"Aaj meri Rajkumari apni interview keliye jaa rahi hain. Isiliye main mandir jaakar aa raha hoon. Apni Rajkumari keliye pray karne gaya tha." Kalpi smiles at this and hugs her father and says,"Thanx Baba. Aap mere liya itna sab kuch kar rahe hain." Vitthal just smiles and hugs her back.

In an apartment building, a woman's voice can be heard shouting and cursing. She is seen scrubbing the floors with a scowl on her face. She is Neetu Kapoor. she shouts,"In noukaron ko bhi aaj hi leave lena tha kya. Kabhi samajh mein bhi nahi aata inko. Aaj meri Pakhi apni interview keliye jaa rahi hain aur mein uske saath time spend karne se bagar yaha scrub kart rahi hoon." A man is walking towards the door and she shouts out to him,"Sahil !! Ap kaha jaa rahe hain inti subah. Aapki office keliye nikalne ka time nahi hua." Sahil thinks in his mind,"Tumse chutkara paane keliye mein aaj office jaldi nikal raha hoon. Tumhara yeh wala ghussa nahin dekhna hain muhje." Sahil turns to her with a smile on his face and says,"Wo Neetu, kya hain na, aaj office mein ek both zaroori meetin hain. Isliye jaldi nika raha hoon." Neetu frowns and says,"Pata hai aap kitne lucky ho ? Bus office jaate ho, vaha A/C mein baitte ho aur orders dete ho.' Sahil says,"Tum kya jaantio ho. Tum to sirf ghar par ho. Aur ghar ka kaam kitna easy hain. Vo bhi nahi kar sakti ho tum?". Sahil sgtarts walking and Neetu says,"Haan haan, kyu nahi bolenge aap. Aap kya jaante hain ghar ke kaam ke baare mein. Agar ek din bhi noukar nahi hote to ghar do ho jaata hain. Aap ek din..." A voice is heard from behind,"Mama Papa, ladna band karo naa." Neetu and Sahil turn behind to see their daughter Pakhi standing there dressed in a pink top and blue jeans with an amused expression on her face. Neetu forgets her anger and says,"Are meri Rasmalai tum tayaar ho gayi. Kitni beautiful lag rahi ho." Shje smiles at her daughter. Pakhi says,"Mama.. Ap aur Papa kyun lad rahe hain ?" Neetu says," Kya bolun Rasmalai. Aaj kal na, yeh maids bohot sare chuttiyan le lete hain. Saara kaam mujhe hi karna pad raha hai." Sahil says," Neetu, agar kaam karegi to achaa hi hain."Pakhi goes to stand beside her father. Sahil says,"Tere motapa ko kam kar sakti ho." Neetu gets angry and attempts to run but slips and falls on the wet floor. She grabs the bucket for support but ther bucket overturns and falls on her lap. Both Sahil and Pakhi have a laugh. Sahil wishes Pakhi Best Of Luck. Pakhi goes to Neetu. Neetu keeps a sulky face. Pakhi asks,'Mama, aap mujhse naaraaz hain ?" Neetu says,"Tum tumhare papa ke saath mujhpar has rahin thi." Pakhi says,"Mama, agar aapi rasmalai nahi hasegi to aur kaun hasega ? Main aapki beti hoon.' Neetu smiles,"So to hai. All the Best Rasmalai." Pakhi gets up and walks towards the door when Sahi shouts,'Tum Kalpi se milne jaa rahi ho to mere taraf se uske liye be All The Best bol." Pakhi nodes her heard. Neetu shouts,"Are Rasmalai, meri taraf se bhi Kalpi ko All The Best bol." Pakhi waves bye and goes out of the apartment. Sahil turns towards Neetu and starts laughing at her state. Neetu whines,"Sahil mat hasiye naa." Sahil nods but he can't stop laughing. Neetu asks,'Are hasne ke bajai,aap mujhe help karenge to acha hai." Sahil helps her up.
