PANCHAL's MArriaGE part 2

Thanks to finhas I am inspired to write this post and part 2 in the series today itself. IF you have not read previous parts of this series than read it first. 

BHARUCH RAILWAY STATION

                  So as stated in previous post we had reached bharuch. As we were hanged to the door on the opposite side of platform, I and vishwa jumped to the railway track and came out of station from next platform. There was one rickshaw-stand outside station. Traffic was very low as compared to vadodara. I remembered keyur saying to me one day:” …………hamare bharuch me to driving karte vaqt raste pe maal dikhe na to mundi age ho na tabse leke puri piche ghume na tab tak dekh sakte hai…. Yaha vadodara main to sala thoda ither-udher dekha to bhi accident ho jayee………..”              As me and vishwa had not need to use pedestrian walkway over the train we had reached out before all others. While we were standing there and waiting for others and waiting for others vishwa suddenly went near the rickshaw and entered his face in the front portion of rickshaw. I was shocked as the rickshawala nowhere to be found. Man, what are you doing? But I got my answer just after a split second. vishwa was looking at his hair and combing it using the rickshaw’s mirror. It was kind of funny. Good one. After that I combed my hair using same rickshaw. Engineers are always innovative.  

     

      After that others are arrived laughing, smiling and jumping. I found out the reason for their laugh as soham and aniket explained to me that:”…actually aniket had to stand outside the door of toilet because there was so little place to stand. And when uncles and auntis came there, he had to usher them to the toilet as some doorkeeper usher customers into hotels. Every time when someone arrives our whole group had to adjust and make the way. Once aditya got frustrated and said aloud:”salaaa, kitne logo ko karna hai yaar…”one uncle heard that and gave an evil glance towards the group giving the group one more reason to laugh…. ”

    Now it came to aditya’s mind that as we were going for marriage, we had to buy some gift to give to the couple. Time is almost 01 30 p.m. The next mission was to find suitable gift for couple.   

 I suggested:”ve 1 dabeli aur 2 vadopao de dete hai...”

Vivek:”ve keyur na mota bhai nu lagan che…”

I said:”ok then 2 dabeli aur 4 vadapao dete hai...” Soham readily agreed to my proposal.

             

      After that aditya and some others had inquired about the Keyur’s address and also for some gift shop. Actually just ahead of train station there was crossroads or maybe 3 roads meeting at the circle. First we walked up to the circle and stood there wondering where to go as we had to take right turn to go to Keyur’s place and rickshawala suggested that gift shops were on straight road. But vishwa and nisarg already started marching in the straight direction. We all others stood there and were looking them marching along the road. They might think that we were coming along. We had not shouted to them to come back or to stop. As I mentioned earlier friends are always helpful in NEGETIVE direction.

                 

      This time aniket presented his humar in particular style:”ve abhi pata chala ye log chalte chalte bharuch pahoch gaye…haahaaa”. Silly comment, ha? Ya I know it’s silly or in chandu’s style FAR-FETCHED but it’s fun.

      Let me explain one member of our cult group. Aniket is from Orissa, music fan, cheerful, can mimic everyone. He has one funda about making comments or jokes and the funda is:” if we are going to talk nonsense then why not to go for bigger nonsense.” Attitude, u know… I remembered one day of 3^rd semester when we were working together on project. He said:”ve vishwa k paas jo project ki final copy hai uski sab ek ek copy rakh lo .. nahi to abhi pata chala k vishwa ghar jate jate truck k niche aa gaya to project to gaya naaaaa….”  

     Aditya, a.k.a.”ADI”, is always sensible and has inherited skill of programming and lots of luck, always ready to help especially me. As 10 min had passed and adi had seen that they were not going to stop their march. He called vishwa to stop. At that time aniket said:”achha hua abhi call ker diya…… thodi der bad phone karta na to to aditya ka STD ka bill ata…. ”. Always go for big one. Adi got reply that they had seen some shop and they wanted us to come there.

  
     So we started walking and this was just a beginning and none from us knew that how much we had to walk on the same day. So we reached where nisarg and vishwa standing and scold them for calling us to see some stationary shop. Again got some funny comments...

Finhas:”ve panchal na bhai mate gift leveni che panchal mate nahi… stationary ma aavatu hoi laa…”

Soham:”ve pela uncle ne puch ne phynile ni godio rakhe che…apde kai useful gift aapie ne … bathroom dhova ketli useful pade…  ” I readily agreed to this suggestion with laugh.

Vivek:”aa badhu chodo la, aa saumil no vadapao vado idea j barabar hato la…”

       So with failure we returned to the 3 road circle and then took the route towards the Keyur’s home. There was no modest shop on that way in the beginning. After a leisurely walk of half a kilometer, we came to one gift shop, we entered in the shop. There were plenty of useless thing including some small scale teddies (maybe girls find it cute) and funky keychain and some grocery with ‘I love u’, ‘made for each other’,etc… written on it. There is one wedding card, size equal to half empirical sheet. Aditya and I liked it and we thought it was maybe useless but appropriate gift. I shock when we inquired about its price. 450 Rs. How can 2 half empirical sheets with little bit red-colored text cost this much? But my quick mind got the answer the next moment. “LOVE comes at a great price...” everyone must hear that. Today I got the real meaning that how big a price can be. Thank god I am not having anyone for whom I have to buy such ostentatious gift.

       

       After one more failed attempt, we moved on. Again after 200-300 meters we stopped as we lost the hope that there was some nice gift shop along this road. There was some medical store. Soham pointed towards the medical store and told everyone:”don’t you think we should buy the most important gift, the most useful…” the group gone mad after this comment this with laughing hard.

       

       So finally we decided that some of us would go to buy the gift and others would go to Keyur’s house. So Adi, aniket, vishwa and harshid went to some place to buy the gift. But they had no idea what was waiting for them. We all started our leisurely walk towards keyur’s home.  So  we split but not our fun…
