DINESH AND ME AT FARM 3.7
Next day we started in the afternoon to farm, I had instructed
About our arrival to farmers for the needful preparations. After
Reaching we were welcomed with cold buttermilk by farmers
Family, I took him around the farm explaining him of the farm
And trees and crops we grow. Though he had visited farm
Many times he was not aware of full details. By the time we
Finished round it was getting dark. I asked labor to get bag
From our car, but it was his eldest daughter who brought the
Bag. She could sense the contents by weight of the bag. I said
You can go now, shall call you if needed. She said yes malik
But let me help you before I go. I was protesting but she was
Reluctant, what is there malik, I will be visiting frequently to
This room, then also I can see what you are doing. It is no
Issue you taking some drinks, she opened bag and set all the
Contents neatly on centre table. Sahib I will keep these bottles
For cooling in fridge and get you cold ones, she stuffed them in
Fridge and brought already cold ones. She set glasses after
Washing them and even distributed snacks in plates. Malik I
Would have prepared better eatables than these stale
Readymade food. She went from there dinesh was looking at
Her in bewilderment. She had seen me partying here, few
Times. I don’t drink much but surely take few when we friends
Come here, but this was the first time this girl came for
Serving. I saw something was missing so called the girl back,
She said malik I know why you have called me, my dad has
Collected his item from the bag, you are spoiling him by
Presenting costly drinks, he takes these apart from his usual
Country stuff and he is already lost into it, that is the reson
Why I am here to serve you, please pardon him for his
Misdeeds. There was nothing left to say, so he is already
Engaged in slurping his most wanted stuff. It is ok, but we
Will have to trouble you more by calling you often, I said with
Look of concern. DINESH AND ME AT FARM 3.8
Malik this nachij is at your service, no need to hesitate, I know
You and my duties too. Please forgive me if do any mistake
Malik, she said smiling and fled from there. What will you
Take I asked dinesh, hot or beer, as it was the first time we are
Going to drink. I knew he occasionally takes drinks like me. He
Said he will prefer hot, my choice is rum he said, sorry bro I
Don’t have whisky here, will scotch do I asked him, it is my
Foolishness that I didn’t ask you before for your choice. No
Need to say sorry shree, this time I will taste scotch; I had
Never tasted it for my budget. Thanks for adjusting you budget
Man, always you think everything in rupee value. There are
Lots of thing than rupee and work; you need to learn few
Things apart from those. I took the scotch bottle opened and
Poured into his glass, I was looking for the cold water bottle,
That girl had forgotten it seems. Exactly at that moment that
Girl came running in room, sorry malik I had forgotten to keep
Water. Please excuse me, I shall fetch it, she ran to fridge
Returned with water bottle. What will you have for munching
Malik, shall I bring chicken or eggs, she asked. Egg for me, I
Said that I know malik but what for him she asked. He said I
Like chicken if you have he murmered, don’t worry malik today
By chance dad had brought desi chick, do you like to listen to
Music. I said sure you can switch on the system, what will
You like malik old hindi songs or jazz or pop like sweta
Malkin. Both of us said hindi old songs. She surfed through our
Collection and inserted a c d into system. She changed volume
To lower level I hope this is right she looked at me inquiring. I
Said it is fine, you know my taste. You are the most clever girl
I have seen here, she blushed it is all because of you malik, it is
You who encouraged me for education, I could learn on your
Mercy. She left from there; I opened a beer bottle for me.
DINESH AND ME AT FARM 3.10
We started boozing very slowly but dinesh began drinking
Fast. Till now we had not discussed about his gloomy mood, I
Was waiting for his mood to settle before I started digging his
Mind. How come she knows you so well shree he asked at last
Sipping his drink? That is greatness of that girl, she is so
Intelligent she could have studied engineering if provided best
Of circumstances to study, it is her bad luck she took life here
To a drunkard father. It is his kids made me keep them
Otherwise I would have fired them long back. His wife and
Kids are so humble that melt my heart and retained them here,
Though he is drunkard he is very much loyal to us and he
Works hard also. She said you financed her for education, but I
Have never come across those expenses shree he asked me.
Dinesh you know me, I don’t spen firm money for these things,
Always I spend from my pocket or from my account. Dad
Never asks me where do I spend money, he knows where his
Money goes or I spend from my personal earnings, you know
About it I replied. Yes that is I wonder how generous you are
In educating poor, if she had not told I would never know.
Even for vidya’s education you never used money from firm
Account. Many times malathi aunt used to ask me about
Expenses incurred on her education. I used to tell her zero, but
She never believed it. Dinesh was always impressed on my
Work. (He may not be aware of my other work at his house).
When he consumed two pegs his speaking style changed, he
Was appreciating drinks; he was telling it is not giving proper
Kick. It gives slowly and you need to take it slowly unlike rum
And its effect also will be for longer period I replied. I was
Enjoying my drink with tasty snacks slowly but he was still
Going in full speed, this is where this poor chap lacks, he does
Not how to enjoy he goes on his own speed not bothering the
Way to enjoy leisurely.
DINESH AND ME AT FARM 3.11
Today he is not going back to home still poor chap is
Gulping drinks and munching snacks like meals. Still we
Were talking on usual stuff. By the time I had half
Emptied my first beer he was filling third peg for himself.
The girl serving us is daughter of our farmer no he
Asked changing the prior subject, I said yes admitting
The fact, she is eldest daughter of our farmer. Did you
Help her financially for her education also?. So to say
Yes but not much I replied. You must have come across
We had given amount for her marriage, she is married
And might have come back visiting her family may be
Couple of days back. But I have never come across
About expenses of this girl. No it was born by my pocket,
I never mentioned it anywhere, jiju probably knows
About it, we had debited cost of bicycle and no more
Expenses were accounted as it was from my side. How
Many people you are funding for education shree he
Asked me. No not many but whenever I come across
Such situations I do try to help them for education. See
My fate I am helping others but can’t finish my masters
For myself, at least we can educate who deserve it, am I
Not right dinesh I asked. That is wonderful job you are
Doing, I was under impression that you are helping only
Vidya, now I came to know you do help many others too.
That is sort of my hobby bro, I am not big like, but feel
Happy in helping others. So you help only girls he asked
Laughing, no there are many boys whom I am helping I
Replied laughing.
DINESH AND ME AT FARM 3.12
You have your own way of leading life shree, he sighed. You
Help so many in all different way, what about that sales girl
Working in garments shop who had come to shop today with
Her mom he asked. That is a big story I will some other time. If
I remember that incident both of us will lose the mood of
Enjoying here. You could tell in short he persisted, no I won’t
Speak about it now, I replied. If you don’t want to then it is ok,
But how do you manage funds he asked. You know I am doing
Little bit of real estate works there I earn some money I do
Utilize part of it for better and social purposes. That hobby I
Have cultivated since long, I replied. One should appreciate
You for your helping nature shree. You are there to help us in
Many ways but ………. He fumbled for words. Now what I
Asked him, what you want, you can ask me openly. There is no
Need to hesitate I was encouraging him to open up. He was
Hesitating to say anything he took a big gulp of drinks and
Dropped his face down. Do you need money dear, don’t
Hesitate I am there to help you in any respect. Only thing is
That you need to tell for what you need money, see by grace of
God and all your wishes I am earning much more than what I
Can spend, if I don’t help you what is the very purpose of
Earning so much. No it is not money, if it was that I could
Have asked without any shame which I have lost long back.
Without telling what it is he started pouring drinks in his
Glass. Whatever it is you can ask directly. You know how open
I am, though this is the first time we are drinking together, I
Didn’t hesitate to give company to you though you are elder to
Me, I tried to push him to say what was bothering him. Shree
It is something which I can’t open my mouth to anyone. It is
Too personal, I can’t utter a single word even to you. Let it be
Let me face and suffer alone. It is not wise to drag you into it. I
Was getting tensed, does he know about my relation with his
Wife or is he undergoing any other sorts of problems. It may
Not be about the land, I have solved that problem long ago,
And no one dares to trouble him in that aspect
DINESH AND ME AT FARM 3.13
And I am developing that land about which he is not aware
Also. See bro if you don’t tell how will I come to know what is
Bothering you. I can’t assure that I will have solution for
Everything, at least on telling you can reduce burden from
Your shoulder or heart. There is no need to worry about
Anything; even if it is personal still you can share it with me.
There is hardly anything which I don’t know about you. Have
You mixed up with any girl and is she bothering you. I was
Forcing him to tell me. One thing I want to tell you, you fail
In many things because of your feeble attempts and not facing
The things properly. You fail in handling the situations, for
That matter you are not proper in drinking also. I tell you one
Thing if you start making moves properly with all caution and
Thinking beforehand about any problems or living style you
Will improve and eligible to face any kind of problems. It is
Something you are not living to your standards and won’t let
Others live their life, he cut me short. Don’t blame me for that
By giving liberty I am facing problem. You know your didi is
Carrying; he was lost in his problems and unknowingly
Uttered few words then stopped as he realized what he was
Above to bark. He shut his mouth so tight he forgot to drink,
His face dropped down to earth, he had blushed so much his
Face had become total red. Will you lend me a cig he asked
Without raising his head? Do you smoke too I asked him. Not
Regularly I smoke when I am in extreme pressure or while
Drinking that too only sometimes. I placed one in lips and
Extended packet to him. He placed between his lips stretched
His hand for lighter. First I lit mine than extended lighter to
His lips to light his cig. He had to raise his head I could see
Tears filled eyes which he was trying to hide it from me. He
Dragged cig and let out large stream of smoke followed by
Coughing.
DINESH AND ME AT FARM 3.14
Don’t worry everything will be ok, don’t drag that much I
Cautioned him. On coughing tears started flowing from his
Eyes. No need to be tensed so much dinesh bhai, I shifted
Beside him and caressed his back . Silently he dragged another
Puff still his eyes filled with tears, I drew hanky and dabbed
His tears, then he threw cig and leaned on my shoulder broke
Out crying loud. Shree people like me should not live on this
Earth, I have thought of committing suicide many times in
Past, you saved me those times. I could spell out my problems
And you came up with few solutions and solved them without
Hurting me keeping me and my family safe and intact. This
Time I am in such worst situation that I can’t even ask for
Solution. He continued sobbing like woman. You should not
Have saved me then, in that case I would not be facing present
Problem, I would have died then and rested peacefully in
Heaven or hell, he was crying louder this time. By then that
Girl came with more snacks, I saw she coming and went to
Door collected plate and sent her back saying not to come
Inside till I call her, she nod in silence and after looking at
Dinesh, she might have guessed something is wrong and she
Left silently. I came back with plate still dragging my cig, and
Then I threw butt in ash tray and extended his glass to his
Lips. He had become quite now. He started sipping his drinks
While I opened another bottle of beer. Bro I am here to help
You, if you tell what the problem is I will try to analyze, never
Think of such foolish ideas, man can live only once and
According to where there is problem there is solution too. Only
Thing is you need to analyze base of problem then only you
Will find solution too. So you were telling something related to
Didi’s pregnancy, are you worried about expenses, then don’t
Bother your head about it.
