tHe kId iN mE…rather uS…

You can often surprise yourself with the way you react to things and people. Last weekend, it was the hair coloring spree that we freaked out on, and yesterday – we again had a great laugh. You gotta’ hear this one out…since Friday evening, the whole jingbang is at my place. The three of us (me, jlo, and Aawaargi) were sitting and working on my laptop on a serious matter….I had written my part of the stuff and hence was just relaxing…almost about to go off to sleep. Aawargi and JLO were busy writing their part…
Earlier when Aawargi come back from an interview in IBM, she had mentioned that her friend Rohit (a handsome dude) would be coming over later, which I and JLO very conveniently ignored.

..and then suddenly I and JLO hear her giving my house number to someone….and about 2 minutes later we heard her saying ‘I am coming’…that was enough to give us the hint that the handsome dude was right there, outside the door. Gosh, you should have been there to see the action that followed. Both I and JLO threw the quilt and ran to the washroom…tumbling one over other..(we were in our night suits)…changed…made ourselves presentable and came back to our room as if nothing happened. The 7 minutes that passed when we were changing and combing etc, we would have laughed like hell…kohl, lipstick, combing, tying hair, then again opening hair. We had already planned to serve Aawargi right when her supposedly goodlooking friend left. Obviously, she can’t get away by looking the best in front of her friend right? She should have given enough time to us to be presentable.

Hear this – JLO first went out…
Peeps out of the door and says Hi…then realizes that she just made herself look like a fool and went ahead into the room and said Hi and then giggled away to glory. I guess she could not keep her giggles under control coz constant flashes of both of us running to the washroom and getting ready came to her mind.
And then she came back.
JLO: “Worth going and saying Hi…go….’ And with that she pushed me out. I went outta’ my room, about turn and came back
Me: ‘No, I don’t want to go..’ Let’s work on your stuff…
JLO: Abbe…you better go…why did you rush to the wash room in a hurry and change and all if you din’t want to go?
Me: so what..now I don’t want to go.
Aawargi shouts from the living room: Mona, can you please come here?
Mona had no option but to go out. She takes out her phone from her pocket, switches it off…(not sure for what?)…realizes, switches it on again (not sure again why?)..and here goes..
Me: JLO, saath chal..
JLO: Abe, abhi tou hi bol ke aayi hun
Me: So what yaar…don’t say a HI this time….am not going out alone…
JLO: He looks good..you must go and see him once.
Me: really? But then …..Chhod na yaar…
Then thinks…doesn’t want to let go of the opportunity…
Me: Saath chalegi…ye laptop bhi le chal….(the song playing was ‘roj roj aankhon tale, ek hi sapna jale..)
JLO: Laptop? Kyun?
Me: Kaam kar lenge wahan baith kar…he is Aawargi’s friend. Why should we make a fool of ourselves there?
JLO: Nahi yaar…what will they think…
Me: Let them think whatever…we have work and we have to do it there only. I don’t care.
JLO: U sure?
Me: 101%
JLO: Ok done..let’s go…
JLO goes first, laptop in her hand…the song still playing….Mona follows her…and suddenly that’s about it. Phewwww! Indeed a dude. I could hardly manage to say a Hi when JLO did it - this is Mona and her musical entry here…’ we all burst out into laughing…and I gave JLO a teasing look as if ‘Ruk ja bachchoo, jaane de isko, phir batati hun’

Mona got involved in a conversation with the dude, and poor JLO did not know what to do with the damned laptop..she just pretended that she was working on some stuff…and kept giving me those ‘I will kill you’ looks.
15 minutes of conversation and then the guy was gone. The moment we closed the door on him, we pounced at Aawargi..”How could you do this to us..you should have bloody well given us time to dress up…I did not wear a lipstick…so what, I could not wear a kohl…so what, bloody you opened your hair..no, you combed your hair more than me to show him….And you, you forgot abt the laptop that YOU decided to take out. So what, you were anyway pretending to work, weren’t you? Hell I was…why were you both dressed up so well? And what’s with this shimmery lipsticks that you have put on? Shutup, that was the first one I could lay my hands on…oh really, you wanted to impress him? No, you wanted to show off your jeans….but I did not leave my hair open like you….

……god bless, the kid within or the girl within – it amuses me.

(Evening when the husbands came, did they know who Rohit was? No way!)…okay Manish, now you know…but that’s okay…
