DOLI SAJAA KE RAKHNA

Brijesh: - No, no, the food items were just superb, Harilal ji. But, I am very sad that I will be unable to see your son-in-law tonight. You invited everyone at 9.30 PM and now it is already 12.30 AM and the baraath has not come.

Harilal: - Woh toh hogaa hee, Birjesh ji, after all, yehi ek raat hai jab dulaah thodaa bhaao khata hai, apne sasural walon se. I called them half an hour ago; actually, Arindam was drinking pineapple juice and one little boy pushed him, while playing with his friends. Baash, hona kya tha, some drops of juice fell into his white sherwani. Now, perhaps, he is taking some time to change his sherwani.

Shivani: - ha ha ha, aapka honewala damaat bahut badiya story bana letaa hai jee. Your wife called to Arindam’s mother 15 minutes ago. They have all boarded the bus and are on their way.

Brijesh:- Oho, Shivani, you are so smart to get all the updated information, he he he…chalo bhai, aab itna derh wait kiya hai toh, aur hee kuch lamhey sahi, dulaah ko dekh ke hee jaayenge aaj…chaliye, Harilal ji, thoda cigarette pee ke aatey hain.

*****************************

Purohit: - arrey, Harilal ji, where is the dulaah, lagan ka mahurat 3.30 AM tak hain, and now it is already 2.15 AM. Just make a call to them.

Harilal: - Yeah, I am trying to call them from my mobile phone, but I think there is no network in that region. They are coming through the highway of Nagarjuna forest, where only BSNL exists.

Roshni: - aaji sunteh ho…

Harilal: - kya hua, why are you shouting?

Roshni: - Just now, I have received an SMS from this BSNL number that there is a bus accident near Madhupur Check post. 2 persons are injured.

Harilal: - Yeh BSNL number kiska hai, let me call at this number. Hello! Hello! Harilal bol raha hoon, Hello!

Venkat: - Haan, kaun Harilal ji, main Arindam ka dost bol raha hoon. Actually, our bus driver drank too much whisky tonight and collided our bus with a tree on the highway. But, don’t worry, we are all safe. Only two of our friends are somewhat injured. I got your number from Arindam’s father only. Only, BSNL network is working in this Nagarjuna forest area.

*****************************

Brijesh: - Hai Ram, Three Police Van has come in this wedding party. What is the matter? Hai Ram.

Harilal: - What is the matter, Inspector? Now it is 3.12 AM, what happened? I am Mr. Harilal, the father of the bride Shreya. Tell me, what happened?

Inspector Sain: - Nothing at all. Aap ka dulhey raja ke baraath jish bus mein aa raha tha, uska accident ho gaya, Madhupur check post ke samney. Toh humney socha ki kyon na hum police waley thoda madat kar dey. So, we took the entire baraath in your police vans.

Roshni: - Thank you Inspector Sahib. Thank you so much. Aab jab shaadi mein aaye ho, toh tum sab police waley khana khaa ke hee janaa.

Inspector Sain: - Jee maaji, bahut bahut sukiriya. Hei, Hawildar Shindey, Himangshu, Shailesh aur Madan, gaadi ko park kar key andar aa jaao, khana khaney ke liye.

*****************************

Arindam: - Arrey, what happened? Why your mood is off tonight. Tonight is our Suhaag Raat, jaanu. When you were my girlfriend, you never felt shy, dear? After marriage, you are doing drama in front of me. Just let me see your sweet face dear. Let me see, how you are looking in this bridal make-up.

Shreya:- Chup raho, idiot kahi ka. After hearing the accident of your bus, I was so scared and tensed. I even started crying.Who told you people to come by that forest route and that too with a drunkard bus driver.

Arindam: - Aah, that forest route is the shortest route, dear. And, due to that Sherwani episode, we already started late.

Shreya: - Agar tumko kuch ho jaata toh, main toh jinda laash ban jaati.

Arindam: - Arrey, sweetheart, bhagwan ke ghar mein der hai, andher naahi. How can I die in an accident, as your true love towards me, will always save me from danger. Bhagwan bhi sacchey pyar karnewalon ko kabhi dukh nahi detey. I have faith in your true love, which is why, I have always said you confidently ke “DOLI SAAJA KE RAKHNA.”

Shreya: - He he he, you are totally crazy. Now, drink this glass of milk and put off the light to start the action, dear…ummm...I love you,sweetu.

Arindam: - Ouch, oooh, I love you too, he he he…

McDonald's MANIA

Nilima: - Why you always avoid to eat in this McDonald’s outlet, I really don’t understand. Don’t worry about the money, I have the money. Come on, let’s go inside.

Arindam: - The problem is not about the money, dear. This is the first McDonald’s outlet in this city, which opened two months ago. Once, I came here with my friends here to enjoy burgers. That day was just the previous day of our College Union elections. Some students of our rival union also came here to eat. As usual, someone passed comments on the other. Later, that comment turned into a war of slang languages. Then, ultimately, a fighting took place. None of us was injured, as it was a very funny fighting. They were throwing plastic sauce bottles at us. We threw the trays at them. As a net result, the big glass of that restaurant at one corner broke. The restaurant manager complained to our college principal and to the nearest Police Station. The Principal warned that next time if I enter this restaurant, then the manager would have the full right to take any action on me. The manager already lodged an FIR on our name. Later, our Principal handled that case, because after all, we were the students of his college only.

Nilima: - Dhaath, you and your college union. All are just bullshits. Now, is it my fault? I have never visited this McDonald restaurant of Park Street. All my friends, who are studying in Bangalore, always tell me about the foods of McDonald. I think that I have to come with my Lady Brabourne college friends only, to eat here. You, the students of St.Xaviers are just hooligans, uuh. You boys always fight like street dogs only.

Arindam: - For your kind information, Nilima, let me tell you that someone has rightly said that dogs are more faithful than wife.

Nilima: - Toh phir ek kuttiya se shaadi kar lo, idiot kahi ka…Come on, let us then go inside the KFC restaurant.

*******************************

Gauri: - Hey Arindam, what happened? You are so quiet. Are you not liking the ambience of this McDonald’s outlet inside this Prasads Multiplex?

Arindam: - No, no, nothing like that. Actually, I was becoming nostalgic about the McDonald’s outlet of Kolkata. My ex-girlfriend was fond of eating cheese burgers; she always used to visit that restaurant with her college friends.

Soumitra: - By the way, Arindam, you told me about your girlfriend earlier also. Her name is Nilima Roy, right? Is she tall and have spectacles in her eyes? Is she a Economics student of Lady Brabourne college and later she did her MBA in International Business from Amity University?

Arindam: - My goodness, yeah, you are right, but how do you know all these things? Do you know her?

Gauri: - Ha ha ha, last month only, she joined our bank as an analyst. I introduced her to Soumitra, when we went to watch the film ‘2012’, together.

Soumitra: - Wow, if I am not wrong, Nilima is here in this restaurant only, with a boy. Maybe, she is with her boyfriend here. Just turn back Arindam; you can see her on that second last table in that left corner.

Gauri: - No, no, he is Vikram. I know him. He has a girlfriend. There is she, standing in the queue. She is Reema. Reema is a very good friend of Nilima. They both work in the same department in our bank. I work in different department. Wait, let me call Nilima here. Hi, Nilima, can you please come here?

Nilima: - Oh!, Hi, how are you, Gauri. You never told me that you also visit this McDonald’s outlet. Oho, Soumitra, you are also here. It is so nice to see you people here.

Soumitra: - Hey, Nilima, let me introduce you to my school friend. He is Arindam.

Nilima: - Well, I don’t like to get introduced to bad strangers.

Arindam: - Strangers? What do you mean by that?

Nilima: - Please don’t shout, Arindam. I don’t want to talk to you at all.

****************************

Gauri: - Ei, Soumitra, let these love birds fight with each other. After all, they still love each other, despite having a break-up 2.5 years back. Let us go now.

Hotel Manager: - Who are these two people? Tell them to go and quarrel inside their house.

Soumitra: - sssh…Manager saab, their love story is full of “McDonald’s MANIA”, please don’t disturb them.

MOHUN BAGAN VS EAST BENGAL

Susmita: - I don’t want to hear, whether he is a “Ghoti” or we are a “Bangaal”, what I want to say is that, we will marry each other. Maybe, my “Arindam” is not a service man, but you must accept that he is one of the best strikers of the “Mohun Bagan” Team. Yes, I agree that, my elder brother “Gajodhar” is also a famous defender of “East Bengal”, and he wants me, to marry to the top class East Bengal Striker “Krishnendu”, because he is a “Bangaal”. Sorry, I cannot accept that. Papa, I am telling you very frankly, if you don’t let me marry with “Arindam”, I will commit suicide. This is as simple as that.

Rambabu: - Ok, Invite your “Arindam” with his family, to our house tomorrow. We will have a detailed discussion, on this issue.

“Arindam” came with his family to meet “Susmita’s” father. “Rambabu” said to Arindam’s father “Rudra Pratap”, “Can’t you control your son, being a “Ghoti”, he is dreaming of a “Bangaal” girl. You know, how much status, we have?” “Rudra Pratap” replied by saying, “You “Bangaal” people are talking about what kind of status. It was we, the “Ghotis”, who gave you food and shelter, when you people were kicked out by the Bangladeshi Muslims. Who taught you people, the game of “Football”, it was we. Don’t forget, we, the “Mohun Bagan” team defeated the British Football team in 1911, bare footed. Today, my son is one of the best strikers of India, and you are unwilling to give marriage of your daughter with him. You are a psycho, boss.”

Rambabu: - Ok, let me make a deal on it. After 1 week, we have the National League Football Final Match between “Mohun Bagan”and “East Bengal”.If “Mohun Bagan” wins that match, then “Susmita” will be your daughter-in-law, otherwise, “Arindam” have to forget my daughter, for the entire lifetime. If you have the guts, then accept this deal.

“Rudra Pratap” accepted the deal. Now, “Gajodhar” with his East Bengal Team Coach “Cheema”, made the entire plan to injure “Arindam” within 15 minutes of the game. Somehow, “Susmita” got the news and informed it to the coach of “Mohun Bagan”, the “Tutu Babu”. “Tutu Babu” now played the trick in the derby match. He kept “Arindam” as the substitute and ordered his players to play in 5-3-2 format in the 1st half. The captain “Bhutia” of Mohun Bagan responded well. In the first half, the entire East Bengal Team tried their level best, but was unable to score a goal. Net result, all the players of East Bengal got exhausted in the 1st half only.

In the 2nd half, within 10 minutes, “Vijayan” was replaced by “Arindam”. Now, “Tutu Babu” entirely changed the strategy. The formation is now 2-3-3-2. It was now a full counter-attacking game. “Cutinoh” of East Bengal scored a goal in the penalty. Only 15 minutes left. “Rambabu” was just getting excited, as he was watching the time. The whole Salt Lake stadium was celebrating, specially the East Bengal gallery. Tears were coming out from the eyes of “Susmita”.

Suddenly, there was a roar from the Mohun Bagan gallery at the 82nd minute. Wow, “Arindam” have scored a goal, what a shot, the goal keeper “Sangram” was totally beaten. Now it was “Green-Maroon” brigade, who was celebrating. “Susmita” saw some ray of hope. She was neither supporting “East Bengal” nor “Mohun Bagan”, but only the team of his beloved “Arindam”. She was shouting and roaring for the “Ghotis”. My goodness! may be this is known as the “True Love”. Five minutes before the match, “Gajodhar” just kicked “Arindam” at the back. “Arindam” fell down and was severely injured and taken to the hospital. “Gajodhar” saw the “RED CARD”. But, luck favored the “Ghotis”. They got a penalty. “Gajodhar” had no other alternative, rather than to foul “Arindam”, otherwise he would have scored the goal, because the goal-keeper was entirely beaten in the wrong direction. Well, the Captain “Bhutia” took the penalty and scored the goal to win the final match by 2-1. Wow, what a fabulous win it was? Indeed for “Susmita” and “Arindam”.

Susmita: - “Arindam”, I told you naah, “True Love” cannot be defeated. This football match has proved that.

SARASWATI PUJA

Nilima: - Hello!, “Sujay”, are you still sleeping? Come on, wake up, today we have to go to the school for giving “Puspanjali”, in the “Saraswati Puja”.

Sujay: - off ho!, you people go there. I am feeling sleepy.

Nilima: - Either you come here, or else I will complain to aunty, about you. I will not do your homework anymore.

Sujay: - Ok, babah, you stupid girl! I am coming. Also tell “Arindam”, to be present there. You need to disturb his ‘sleep’ also.

Around 8 AM, “Arindam”, Sujay” and “Nilima” reached the “Patha Bhavan” school. As usual, they were standing in a line to give “Puspanjali”.

Nilima: - Well Sujay, meet my childhood friend, “Rita”. She studies in Loreto Convent School. She came here to give the puspanjali. Rita, this is my lazy and naughty friend Sujay.

Sujay: - wow, Rita, you are really looking good in this yellow sari. We have completed giving the puspanjali, so come with me at the canteen; we will have some gala adda session.

Rita: - You are an idiot. You also go in the same tuition of “Madhav Sir”, for Maths classes, every Wednesday evening, but you have never even looked at me. Ok, come, let us have some private discussions at that canteen bench.

Both Rita and Sujay, ended the day with their private gossiping sessions. The day of “Saraswati Puja” ended well. After 1 week, Sujay called both Nilima and Arindam at Elliott Park, to resolve a huge problem that he is facing. Three people started their discussions. “Arindam” asked, “What happened boss, you called us.”

Sujay: - what kind of a disgusting girl is this “Rita”? She has now declared publicly, that I am her boyfriend, whereas she told me on that day, that she has a boyfriend. Now, Nilima, I am telling you, she will be in big trouble, if she does this type of publicity.

Nilima: - Wait, Sujay, the fault is yours. Why have you flirted with her, on that day?

Arindam: - O accha, our Sujay became Shahrukh Khan on that day. Kya baath hai yaar… Drinking water, sinking sinking… ha ha ha…

Nilima: - Sujay told her that if she would not had a boyfriend, then he would have become her boyfriend. He also told her that he has never seen such a beautiful girl in his entire life. You idiot, Sujay, do you know that, she is having infatuation on you, since last 6 months. She always kept on staring at you in the tuition classes, whereas, you are such a bookworm and mathematics lover, and that you have not seen her there. She is not having any boyfriend. After hearing, that she loves you; I made the plan to introduce her to you, at the Saraswati Puja.

Sujay: - But, I was just doing the time-pass, you know, I was just flirting. It was just a gossiping session, with a friend, that’s all.

Rita: - Hello Sujay, I am also here. I was listening to you from behind this tree. Girls have tolerated enough of your flirting; now it is time for you to get a punishment from me. You have to remain in the prison of my heart as a lover, for the whole life.

Arindam: - Ha ha ha!, I will never forget this “Saraswati Puja”,as it is a “Valentine’s Day” for lovers in Kolkata.

ACID - EFFECT

“Are you going to refund us the deposit money or not”, asked “Sanjay” to their landlord. The landlord “Sai Krishna” said that, “I have not taken any deposit money from you, before providing this house as rent.” The three people “Sanjay”, “Manojit” and “Vikram” became furious.

Manojit said, “What you are doing is wrong. We want to leave this house and shift to other flats. You have not repaired that house; it has no ventilators and windows. In this extreme hot season in Hyderabad, we want to shift to some other house. But, now you are saying, you will not refund the deposit money.”

Vikram threatened, “yeh bahut bhaari parega aapko”.

Sai Krishna: - Ei, you North Indians, you people are threatening me. This is our Hyderabad. Either you stay in that house, or you leave the house, but I will not refund you the deposit money. What proof do you have that, you have given me the money.

After one week, someone threw acid on the face of “Lakshmi”, the daughter of “Sai Krishna”. “Arindam”, the local police Inspector cum the school friend of “Lakshmi” started the investigation. He went to meet “Lakshmi” in the hospital.

Arindam: - Can you recognize those culprits? Just tell us. Those criminals need severe punishment.

Lakshmi: - I have not seen anyone, as they came in a motor bike and threw the acid.

Arindam: - Boss, don’t tell lie. This proves that the criminal is from your friend or family circle only.

Lakshmi: - Can I talk to you later, after 1 week. I will tell you everything, but first let me have my plastic surgery operation.

After 1 week, “Lakshmi” told “Arindam” to meet at the “Balaji” temple. “Arindam” went there and saw “Lakshmi” with 3 other persons.

Lakshmi: - Hello, “Arindam”, meet my husband “Manojit”. We got married, just now, in the temple.

Arindam: - So, you people threw the acid on her face. How brutal you people are?

Lakshmi: - Please don’t scold them. My father is the main culprit. He betrayed with them with the deposit money and also wanted me to get married with his friend’s son “Venkat”. I agreed to that marriage proposal, as I am just a simple traditional girl. But, after my accident, “Venkat” rejected the marriage proposal.

Arindam: - So, you 3 people, have you got your money back?

Vikram: - Ha Ha Ha!, that money has been used by “Sai Krishna” to do plastic surgery of “Lakshmi”.

Arindam: - See the fun, what you have got by throwing the acid on this poor girl.

Manojit: - at least, we have helped our friend to get his lover as his wife.

Lakshmi: - Yes, Arindam, I tolerated the “Acid-effect”, because I love “Manojit”, and I don’t want to see him as a criminal. Actually, he got mad, when he heard that I cannot marry her, due to my father’s decision and to add fuel to the fire, the betrayal of deposit money was enough for Vikram and Sanjay, to take this criminal action.

Manojit: - I apologize for what we have done. You can arrest us, for that criminal offence.

Arindam: - Nah babah naah!!!, actually I loved this love story “Acid-Effect”. Just enjoy your married life and if you people want any flats, I will arrange that, please don’t worry. Come to “Jubilee Hills” tomorrow. Good Bye.

WELCOME TO HEAVEN

“What are you saying, that girl “Riya” is a Muslim girl. Her full name is “Riya Hussain”.Oh! My god, she is now pregnant also. If our party people get this information, then you will be killed boss, I am 100% sure about that.” said “Mona”, the party colleague of “Arindam”.

Arindam said, “What can I do in this case, I hardly knew it, as she has rightly fooled me by saying that her name is “Riya Aggarwal”. She knew it very well that I am a conservative and communal person. She fooled me to get my love. But, now her community people are forcing me to marry her, as I have committed a sin. Now, if I marry her, my party people will kill both of us.”

Mona: - I also love you, dear. I sacrificed because I thought, you love Riya, so much, and she is a Hindu girl. But, now, when I am finding that she is a Muslim, then there is no mercy. Tell her to go for abortion.

Arindam: - I know her very well. She will not do that at any cost, and I also don’t want her to do that. Maybe, she is a Muslim, but I also love her.

Mona: - Then both of you just go to heaven and do your romance, because our party people will kill you and your Riya. And now, it is a dangerous situation in Gujarat. At the time of riots, you are committing these sins. Now, I don’t know who is going to save you people.But, “Mona” had some other plans. She is not ready to see the death of her lover. “Nagraj”, the party leader came to know about these things. But, “Arindam” was a good party worker. He cannot be killed.

Rather, they killed “Riya” and the media confirmed that she died in the riots.“Arindam” cried a lot, but was helpless. He had no clue, what game “Mona” and “Nagraj” had played in the back-end. Now, the party people consoled “Arindam” and suggested him to marry “Mona”. On a special day, both of them got married.

Nagraj: - I congratulate you both, for your marriage. Wish you both a very happy married life. Just enjoy the life.Mona: - Thanks Nagraj bhai, I am grateful to you and your party. Thanks a lot.After 8 months, “Arindam” got a job in “Satyam Computers”. Everyone was very happy. But the office of this company was in “Hyderabad” only.

Arindam: - I have to join the company tomorrow. Today, evening, I have to catch the flight. Nagraj, please take care of your sister. I will come back after 1 month again, because during the delivery time, I need to be present here.

Nagraj: - Don’t worry, we will take care of her. But, what happened to that Ghost problem? Since 9 months, Mona is constantly getting attacks from a ghost, as per her statement. Already 5 tantriks have tried a lot, but they are yet to find out any clue of that ghost.

Arindam: - Uff, all these are bullshits. In 21st century, you people still believe in those ghosts and tantriks. India will never prosper due to you such people. I don’t know, maybe, my “Mona” is suffering from some mental disorder. After she becomes a mother, I will take her to an expert psychiatrist.After 1 month, “Arindam” started his journey towards Gandhinagar, from Hyderabad. He boarded the plane at 9 PM. At 9.30 PM, the plane crashed in Madhya Pradesh and “Arindam” was spot dead. After 2 days, at 9.30 PM, “Mona” gave birth to a dead girl child. “Mona” was just shocked at this dilemma. She was sent to the jail of a reputed mental hospital.

The party leader “Nagraj” took care of her sister’s medical treatment expenses.When the soul of “Arindam” opened his eyes, he found “Riya” standing in front of her.

Riya: - I could have killed your “Mona” long time back, but I wanted her to feel, how it pains, when you cannot become a mother, despite keeping it for 9 months. “Welcome to Heaven”, my dear, here there is no distinction of caste, creed and religion, as everyone is ghost here. Now, forget that bloody selfish world. We will have our romance in heaven, my dear “Arindam”.“Arindam” just hugged “Riya”, and was unable to say anything. Only tears were automatically coming out of his eyes. Maybe, really it was a “Welcome to Heaven” for his heart also.

GIFT OF LOVE

“Why the hell, will I murder your “Arindam”, you tell me “Priyanka”, after all he was my childhood friend, yaar. Maybe, I agree that in this “Sebastian” college, we were a part of different unions, and that is why some fighting took place. But, that is only on the basis of different ideologies that we have, not the personal attacks.” “Rakesh” shouted at “Priyanka”. “Priyanka” went back home with tears in her eyes, but still got no clue, about who has murdered his beloved “Arindam”.

After three days, “Rakesh” was stunned to hear that, “Priyanka” got married to “Vikash”, the competitor of “Arindam”, who also loved “Priyanka”, but was always a defeated soldier. At last, “Vikash” won the battle, by getting “Priyanka” as his wife. But, suddenly, after getting married, the very next day, “Vikash” had to go to “Kanpur” for official purpose.

Two days later, the dead body of “Vikash” reached at his Kolkata residence. His wife “Priyanka” was crying all the way.The Police Inspector “Sanjay”, who was the school friend of “Arindam”, started the investigation, and arrested the murderer “Omkarnath”.

But, the entire case had a twist. “Omkarnath” was given money by “Priyanka” to kill “Vikash”. The pregnant “Priyanka” was now arrested.“Rakesh” came to meet “Priyanka” in the jail.

Rakesh: - I know Priyanka, what you have told to the police, is just a lie. You have told them that, you killed him, because Vikash had forcefully married you, and did mental tortures, after you lost your lover Arindam. But, I know, it is not the truth. Please tell me, why you have murdered Vikash.

Priyanka: - Simple reason! Vikash killed Arindam, and the entire doubt went to you, as you were his enemy, in the college. As Vikash is a businessman, the police are under his pocket. Nothing happened to him, no one got any clue. But, the ex-wife of Vikash took all the murder photographs with her camera, and sent to me. Her name is “Tania”. So, I accepted the marriage proposal of Vikash, and killed him.

Rakesh: - But, then what is the logic behind marrying to Vikash?

Priyanka: - You will not understand. You can go now, bye.On 27th December, “Priyanka” gave birth to a baby boy. She was so happy. “Tania” was also present there.

Priyanka: - Look Tania, like my lover Arindam, my sweet little boy also has moles in the left arm and in the nose. I used to joke with him, regarding these things. I will keep my boy’s name as “Arindam”.

Tania: - Now, I understand, why you married Vikash? On 11th March, at your birthday, Arindam came to the party, without any gift for you, because that man had a long term plan to provide you a “Gift of Love” on this special day.

Priyanka: - Look my little “Arindam”, your aunty “Tania” has now understood everything.The little “Arindam” just gave a sarcastic and cheeky smile.

BEAUTIFUL BARNALI

“No Sir! You are not allowed to go inside the disc, without a girl with you”, said the Security man of a reputed discotekh in Hyderabad.”Arindam”, the employee of SBI, got irritated and angry. He asked, “What is this, Bala, what kind of rule is it?” “Balakrishnan” said, “Forget it man, we will go elsewhere and enjoy, come on”.

Bala took him to a singing competition of a reputed college. There, everyone was singing well. Now, it was the turn of “Barnali” to sing a song. She was really beautiful. When she came on the stage to sing, Bala said, “That is my younger sister, who is blind, but her voice is superb. Just listen to her song.” After hearing that, something happened to Arindam. Barnali singed like a Nightingale, and totally impressed Arindam.

Arindam asked Bala, “Why you are not consulting with a good eye doctor, to cure your sister?” Bala confirmed, “The money is the constraint, we do not have enough money to do her eye operation. Mainly, her eyes cannot be cured. Her eyes need to be transplanted by other’s donated eyes, and that operation requires huge money”. Slowly and gradually, both Arindam and Barnali became good friends, and both fell in love also. Now, Arindam took some medical loans from SBI, and Barnali was cured.

It was a Sunday; Barnali was asked by the doctor “Raja”, “Whom do you want to see first, after we open your eyes”. Barnali said, “I want to see Arindam first”. What happened next? My goodness, Barnali saw Arindam, and her face became dull. At the house, Bala asked Barnali, “Why are you so unhappy?” Barnali said, “I thought, my future hubby will be as beautiful as me, but he looks like a Negro. I cannot marry such an ugly looking guy”.Soon, after few days, Barnali fell in love with the Doctor “Raja”. Raja was handsome like Rajanikanth. Bala declared the marriage day of Barnali and Raja. Everyone was so happy, except Arindam.

One colleague of Arindam, “Suzan” proposed him. Arindam requested for 2 days, to give his answer to her proposal.Very next day, fire broke out in the office cabin of Barnali. Many people died in that fire, but Barnali somehow escaped. But, entire face of Barnali got burnt. After seeing that ugly face of Barnali, Raja rejected the marriage proposal with her. Now, everyone was unhappy, except Arindam.

Arindam came to see Barnali. Barnali was surprised. Now, Arindam told her, that he will marry her on that same day. Bala was really happy. Suzan was crying, as Arindam rejected her proposal, but never complained. She resigned her job, and went back to Denmark, with her new boyfriend “Mark”.Barnali and Arindam got married, and after two days, a plastic surgery has been conducted for Barnali’s face. Now, she again looks beautiful.

Arindam asked her, “Now, will you remain as my wife, as I look like a Negro”. Barnali said, “Yes, I will”. Arindam confirmed, “Yes, you are now the “Beautiful Barnali”.I am proud to have you as my life partner, as you have understood the true meaning of “Love” “.

AMAZING ARUNDHATI

It was 14th January 2009. A new day began in the Sundarban Jungle. The Sun has just risen in the east, reflecting beautiful ripples in the waters of Hooghly River. Sundri trees were really looking nice. The forest cocks were shouting hard, to give everyone the alarm, that now it was morning.

“Arindam”,the laziest tiger of the jungle, heard the alarm, but still sleeping, putting one hand on the forehead of her wife “Arundhati”,the tigress. Arundhati boasted him, “Uuuh, what are you up to now, wake up, you are so lazy, uuh. Now, we have to go for hunting, dear. We have no food in our stock, for our children. Go, and freshen yourself, and be ready quickly. We will go for hunting now.”

By around 11 AM, already both of them have hunted 10 small deers, in that jungle. “Are you smelling something”, asked Arindam. “Yes, dear, it is the smell of a human being. I think, that human is near that “Bon-Bibi” goddess mandir. Come on, let us hunt that human.” said Arundhati.

Arindam said, “I am not in a mood to hunt a human today, dear. Already, we have hunted so many deers.” Arundhati angrily told, “Uff, you are such a lazy tiger. I don’t know why I fell in love with you. You stay here and wait for me to come back”.

Arundhati approached towards the prey, with leaps and bounds, with a pin drop silence, and took the position behind a bush, which is just a three meters away from the “Bon-Bibi” goddess mandir.“Mrinalini”,the human lady was crying in front of the temple. She was uttering, “Hey, Devi, you have never helped us. Last week, my husband came to the jungle to collect honey, and was killed by a tiger. After that, my mother-in-law termed me as a “Daaini” (Witch), and kicked me and my two little children out of the house. I had no one, except my sweet hubby. I lost my parents last year, in the flood. Please help me and my little children.”

Arundhati signaled her husband to roar loudly, by wagging her tail, from the bushes. Arindam roared like a hungry tiger. Mrinalini got frightened and started to run towards the village. The tigress followed her, and saw the house, where Mrinalini lives with her children.It was around 3 PM, everyone was almost taking their nap, in the afternoon. Arundhati entered the village and put two dead deers in front of Mrinalini’s house. Arundhati came back to jungle, as early as possible, as village people were throwing stones and pebbles at her. The tigress was somewhat injured but she was safely home.

Arindam asked, “I don’t understand, what the hell you are trying to do. Every one of us, have done our lunch, and you have given those humans the meat of two deers. Tell me the reason for it. Are you mad or what?”Arundhati said, “You are such an idiot. Last week, you hunted one person. Are you aware of that? This woman is the wife of that person. I know you killed Mrinalini’s hubby, for the sake of our family. So, it was also my duty to do something for Mrinalini’s family. After all, maybe I am not a human, but I am also a mother and a wife”.

Arindam came near to his wife and said, “Wow, honey, you deserve a lovely kiss from your hubby. I have never thought that this quarrelling and terrific tigress has a good heart”.The tiger kissed his beloved tigress and said, “I love my “Amazing Arundhati”.I will remain lazy for the sake of getting your lovely boasting, dear”.
