PANCHAL'S MArriaGE part-3

-->

If you had not read the previous posts in this series then I insist that you read them first.

       At first we all were walking together, after some time Nisarg and Soham had gained the speed and we decreased our speed. So we again split. So we 4 started talking about anything that came to mind.      As per the previous post, now we had split into 2 groups. 1) Me (saumil), Vivek, Finhas, Nisarg, Ahmed, Soham. 2) Harshid, Aniket, vishwa, Adi.

BHARUCH MA RAKHADPATTI

Vivek:”sala….aa bharuch na gharo to jo la, badha j bungalows j che…”

Finhas:”hu b kyarno e j jou chu. Kato mota mota gharo hoy kato zadi-jungle hoy,........... aa Keyuryo agib jagya e re che.”

Me:”hmmm… but I thought if we were able to arrange a car then this can be like small trip. Night stay at Keyur’s and then we can go for Kabirvad  or something like that tomorrow.”

     Ahmed rejected my idea as they were having some religious festival going on, can’t remember the name. Ahmed told me that they had to go to some particular mosque in Baroda. When Vivek argued that there must be some mosque near Kabirvad. Ahmed explained that they were having a small society of 10000 people and it is kind of confided in Baroda itself. So their methodology is different from others.

  This is Ahmed, always logical, who believes in understanding the subject rather than cramming, a nice hearted and straight forward person, “sant manas”, ready to help, speak too little. I never heard his voice above certain decibels.  Finhas is kind of madan , cheerful, easy going and believes:”I am most eligible bachelor  in my particular muslim-society”. And ya he got very unique speaking style, which always made me laugh when I heard him in the beginning. He got as big heart as big madan he is. The thing was he used to call people madan(hindi)  so people named him madan.

   Get back to story, so now Finhas came in form and said:”ala tamne khabar nathi amari society ma badha bahu bhanta nathi …………… etle hu sauthi vadhare eligible bachelor chu.”

Vivek and me in unison:”ohhhoooooo……….”

Finhas:”ganda, etle j to hu girlfriend nathi banavato….baki to…”

Vivek:”chal chal have chaddi ma re…”

    We had walked maybe 2-2 ½ km now. We stopped to take break. You might wonder why we had not taken any rickshaw. It is because of Nisarg lukkhoo who insisted that Keyur’s place was just ahead. ”thodu j chalvanu che…”

     we 4 bought fruties/slices from some shop along the road. At that time Vivek told me that he was having dehydration. I was surprised. Vivek is heavily built maybe 65+ kg. how could such man have such problem? So I stared at him. He understood my question and answered in one word:”seriously…”

Finhas:”ve aa Keyur Bharuch na kaya khuna ma re che laa…”

Vivek :”aa Nisargyu, baki aapde to rickshaw kari j let.”

Finhas:”have shu have to aavi gayu hashe…”

 We spent some time there so when we started again Soham and Nisarg who were ahead of us but in eye-sight were gone. So now we had to inquire about the path all the way. So at that moment we came to realize that we were walking along ‘the zadeshwar road’ and Keyur lives in ‘shree ram society’ which is besides ‘tulsidham society’. So Vivek asked some vendors along the road and got the answer:”thoda hi age he ”, “bas aa hi gaya samzo…”, etc…Even after getting some answers we had walked for maybe 1 more km but still we are not arrived. So Vivek got frustrated: “ have jo koi bolyu che ne k thoduk j aagad to hu ene marva laish, ha saumil…..have thi tu j puchje…”

  Vivek is from lunawada, always practical,'ungothable' not interested in studies at all but at every one’s wonder always get more than 60% on last day preparation, easy to be with, always cheerful. I sometimes wonder how he managed to come to comp. sci. in M.S.university as his friends group consists of tapories of lunawada to Jayanti Patelia, the famous rubykand accused. Obviously he had never involved in their activities but still it was great achievement to get merit more than 210 from 228 in 12^th in such environment.

     So finally we reached at Keyur’s place and read a big board:”PANCHAL PARIVAR TAMARU HARDIK SWAGAT KARE CHE.” Hashhhhhhhhh. Pahochi gaya….Then met Keyur, took seat, ate ice-cream. Again reunited with Nisarg and Soham, we made some casual conversation.

   Bye the way, it was not marriage of Keyur Panchal but his elder brother. Time to introduce one more cult member. Keyur is book warm, always engrossed with study books, peculiar characteristic of speaking at little-bit slow speed, still watch English movies in Hindi dubbing, big fan of slangs, philanthropist as he always provides materials for exam. As my surname is Pandya and his surname is Panchal so our rollnos/examnos are always together. As our whole class, even our juniors, read only his notes in exam, so as me. So at the time of viva it becomes very hard for me to answer the question in better way because ‘the auther’ of my study material is himself sat beside me.

   After half an hour of our arrival, the second group had arrived. Keyur offered them one ice cream. They readily took it and we demanded for another but he declined. Keyur kanjooooos… after some time Aniket had explained:”ve hamara scene ho gaya be, vo rikhawala hame GIDC le gaya aur bola k yaha sab mil jayega and vaha pe hame chod k chala gaya........ bad me vaha pe aas-pass dekha to vaha pe to sab factories thi…fir vaps thoda chale and rickshaw ki and mall gaye phir vaha se ye crockery le k aaye… ”

Finhas:”ve madan, pan tum sab pe aankh pe patti mari thi kya…rickshaw me se mundi nikal k dekh nahi sakte kya? Kevaaa laaa…..” no reply to this arrived…only laugh.

Adi had one more scene as he used to calling Keyur as Panchal….

Soham:”ve thodi der pahle bhi ultimate scene hua…. Ye Adi bahar se aya and vaha pe itna bada board lagaya hua hai ki 'Panchal parivar aapnu swagat kare che'  phir bhi puchta hai ki ‘ve Panchal kya che?’ vaha pe sab Adi ko dekhne lage….haha ”

Then some vidhi going on over there had ended so we presented our gift and moved in common plot for dinner…
