KISHORI LAL:
Kya? Ye Geeta colony link road he?
(aur fir se idher-udher dekha)
Mere khayal se me yahi-kahi rehta hu.
MOHAN:
(mohan ko lga shayad kuch gadbad he, ya ye admi apna rasta bhatak gya)
Okay, chaliye me aapko police station chod deta hu, kisi ne toh aapke baare me police me inform kar diya hoga, ya fir me jis raste ja rha hu, uss raste agar aapko aapka ghar yaad aata he toh mujhe bata dena.

Car me right side Mohan aur left side Kishori lal bethe hue the.
MOHAN:
Hi, I am Mohan
(ek awkard smile ke sath bola)
KISHORI LAL:
Hello, mera naam Kishori Lal he.
Dono ne ek dusre ko nervous smile di aur fir Kishori lal apna chera window ki taraf karke bahar dekhne lge.
Car me faile is halke tanav ko kam karne ke liye, Mohan ne song change kar diya, Mohan songs ka kafi shaukeen rha he bachpan se hi, uske paas har decade ke songs the pre-downloaded, Mohan, Kishori Lal ki aur dekhkar halka muskuraya aur 60's se song wali playlist chala di. Usme sabse phela song tha Mohammed Rafi ka “Chaudhvin Ka Chand”.
Beat ke baad lyrics aane shuru hue - Chaudhvin ka chaand ho, yaa aafataab ho, jo bhi ho khudaa ki kasam, laajawab ho...
Dono gaane ko shanti se sunne lage.
Kishori Lal jo abhi bhi bahar dekh rhe the, unke chere par ek halki smile aa gai aur saath hi aankho me kuch aansu, par aansu us muskurahat ho hta na sake, muskurahat jami rhi. Unhone dhere-dhere gane ko gunguna-na shuru kiya.
KISHORI LAL:
Jo bhi ho tum khudaa ki kasam, laajawab ho.
Mohan ne muskurahat ke saath Kishori Lal ki aur dekha, wo khush tha aur saath hi surprised bhi.
MOHAN:
Waah! Mr. Kishori Lal ji aap to laajawab gaate ho.
KISHORI LAL:
Me ye gaana Usha ke saath gaya karta tha.
(gaane ki beat)
Jab hum 1960 me college bunk karke, ye movie dekhne gaye the, tab me shayad 21 saal ka tha,
(Mohan ki aur dekha)
Jaise hi ye gaana aaya tha film me
(window ki aur dekha)
Usha ne mera haath thaam liya tha, bass usi waqt mujhe is gaane ke jadu ne jakar liya
(gaane ki beat)
Aur me jaan gya ki wo hi meri biwi banegi, meri zindagi ki pheli aur aakhri aurat.
MOHAN:
That's sweet, agar aap bura na me to kya me jaan sakta hu, Mrs. Lal kha he?
KISHORI LAL:
(ek gheri saans lete hue)
10 saal ho gye Usha ko guzre hua, Cancer, badi bahaduri se ladi meri Usha, par..,ye cancer jaisi bimari mere dushman ko bhi na ho.
MOHAN:
I am very sorry to hear that.
KISHORI LAL:
Ab to bas yaadien he, dar is baat ka he ki ab to kabhi-kabhi yaadien bhi yaad nai aati.
Mohan ko kafi dukh hua Kishori Lal ke liye, par wo is bare me chah ke bhi kuch nahi kar sakta tha.
MOHAN:
Meri Mummy bhi 10 saal phele expire hui thi
(Kishori Lal abhi bhi bahar dekh rhe the)
Unko bhi cancer tha
(Kishori Lal ne Mohan ki aur dekha, par Mohan ab samne dekh rha tha)
Aur unka bhi naam “USHA” hi tha.
(Ye sunkar Kishori Lal ko jhatka laga, aur Mohan ne ek nazar Kishori Lal par daali)
Unhone bhi cancer se behad datkar ladai ladi, I am very proud of her.
KISHORI LAL:
Aur tumhare pitaji wo kya karte he abhi?
MOHAN:
(Mohan ne smile ke saath Kishori Lal ki aur dekha, aur fir kuch pal thera)
Wo retired railway officer he, unhe “ALZIEMERS” he, hmmm..bhulne ki bimari
(Kishori Lal ne chokte hue Mohan ki aur dekha)
Nahi nahi aesi kisi fikar ki baat nahi he, wo is waqt soo rhe honge, har subha hum dono walk par jate he, fir bahar hi kahi breakfast karte he. Morning me me unhe yaad rehta hu, mostly,
(gaane ki beat)
Abhi iss waqt me jaker unse milunga toh unhe yaad bhi nahi hoga ki me kon hu.
KISHORI LAL:
Ye sunkar bada dukh hua, magar hum bhuddon ki galti kya hain? Ye umr hi kuch aesi he, do kadam chalo toh ghutne me dard, kuch pasand ka khalo to pet me gadbad, zyada sochne jao to wo cheez yaad hi nahi aati.
(kuch pal ruke)
Zyada se zyada hum apne bacho par aashrit ho sakte he. Lekin unper already hi itna pressure he, tumhe to pta hi he desh ke halat, unemployement, gareebi, competition, jan sankhya
(gaana ke beat)
Hum buddhe duvidha me aa jate he ki unse kiss muh se madad mange.
MOHAN:
Aapko koi bacche nahi he kya Mr. Kishori Lal ji?
KISHORI LAL:
Mere bacche?
(dimag par zor dalkar sochte hue)
MOHAN:
Koi baat nahi, aap apne aap ko zyada push na kariye
(ye bolte hue uske chere par dukh ki kuch lakeere ubher aai. Wo kafi der tak maun rhe gya. Dono ke beech fir wo atpta sa tanav aa gya, Mohan ne Kishori Lal ki aur dekha umeed me ki shayad wo kuch bole, par akhir me usne khud is tanav bhari khamoshi ko todna sahi samja)
Mujhe aaj bhi yaad he, jab me bada ho rha tha, me ek behad shant kisam me ladka tha, zyada kisi se baat nahi karna, apne aap me rehna, homework time par karna, good grades, sabkuch systematically karna.
(Gaane ki beat)
Ek bar jab meri class ka exax chal rha tha, mere kuch classmates ko copy karna tha, wo jante the ki me unhe copy nahi karne dunga
(gaane ki beat)
Unhone mujhe dhamkaya ki mujhe washroom me lock kardenge, me darr gaya tha toh mene unhe apne answer dikha diye, me answer dikha hi rha tha ki hamari principle ne hame pakad liya. Unhone hamare parents to bula liya, tab mere pitaji behad gusse me the un ladko par nahi mujpar aur isliye nahi ki mene unki mdada ki balki isliye ki I didn't stood for myself.
(Mohan ne Kishori Lal ki aur dekha)
Wo khete the ki “Learn to fight for What's right”, hume kabhi darkar rehena nahi chahiye aur khudko kisi se kum nahi samajhna chahiye, “if they don't respect you, they don't deserve your respect either”, hume hamesha...
(Mohan apna sentence complete karne ja hi rha tha ki, use phele Kishori Lal ne uska sentence pura kar diya)
KISHORI LAL:
Jo sahi lagta he wahi karna chahiye, always do the right thing.
MOHAN:
(smile ke saath)
Always do the right thing.
Mohan muskurate hue car drive kar rha tha, Kishori Lal ke chere par bhi ek halki muskurahat ubher aai thi, unhone kuch pal ko Mohan aese hi dekha.
KISHORI LAL:
Aaj kha tha me?
MOHAN:
Link road
KISHORI LAL:
Aaj bhi?
MOHAN:
5th time ho rha he ye “PAPA”. Ab bas mujhe nurse hire karni padegi!
(thoda dissaponted hote hue bola)

Mohan ne bhi unki aur ek smile paas kar di, ye btane ke liye ki koi baat nahi sab “THEEK” he.
Kishori Lal apne bister par let gaye, unke chere par abhi bhi wo muskan kayam thi aur saath hi ek garv bhi ki Mohan jaisa beta unhe mila, par saath hi kuch dard ki lakeere bhi thi, jo shayad us pachtave ki thi jo unhe ho rha tha, Mohan ke liye itni mushkile khadi karne par.
