UPDATE 26 - Ajit Came Back To The "NEW KOLKATA"
Der raat ko Mumbai land hua. Hotel mein jaa ke tahera. Agle din office ka kaam tha isliye jaldi so bhi gaya.
Sapno ka nagari Mumbai, kaam ka pressure bhi isliye wahan jyada hi rehta hain. Main bhi wahan jaa kar kaam mein utna hi busy ho gaya jitna busy ek Mumbaiker ko rehna maangta hain.
Itna busy ki dimaag se ghar ke baatein nikal gaya tha ekdam hi. Manali ya ghar ka khayal rakhna matlab ghar ke halat poochna hi bhul chuka tha main. Uss dauran ghar pe maine ekbar bhi call nehi kiya aur harangi ke baat yeh hain ki ghar se bhi koi call nehi aaya tha! Mujhe laga Manali sayed abhi bhi uss cuckold plus threesome ke ghatna se thode ruthi hue hain mere upar. Main soch liya tha ki ghar par sab thik hi hoga. Koi emergency hota toh either Rahul or Manali mein se koi toh zaroor inform karta mujhe, chahein Manali mujh par kitni bhi ruthi kyun naa rahe.
Mumbai mein office ka workload qafi tha. Aur Mumbai mein samay kaise nikal jaata hain voh behenchod pata hi nehi chalta. Office se fursat milte hi main apne colleagues ke sath saher ghumne nikal padta tha. Phir hotel wapas aa kar utna energy nehi raheta tha ki ghar pe call karu ya baki koi aor kaam karu like laptop ke through ghar pe jasoosi karna.
Mumbai mein itna workload tha ki wahan se laptop ke through spy cams ko connect karke ghar par nazar rakhne ke time nehi tha mere pass. Waise bhi main quite sure and confident tha ki aab un dono ke beech aor kuch nehi hoga. Kyunki jiss tarah se Manali ne Rahul ko cheetavni de chuki the, uske badh aor kuch hona next to impossible task hi tha.
Boss ne kahan tha jitna jaldi kaam niptega utna jaldi humara tour bhi khatam hoga. Maine socha agar Manali abhi bhi gussa hain mujh pad toh kyun naa boss ke shart par din raat ek karke jaldi se kaam finish kardu, taki agle hafte ke badle iss hafte hi main mere Manali ke pass laut saku, aur iss tarah usse surprise kardu. Waise bhi 5-6 din apne biwi ko uss 'biwi chor' ke sath akele rakhne ka risk nehi le sakta tha main.
If Rahul try to 'cozy' with her again in my absence, aur voh agar main Mumbai mein baith kar laptop se dekh bhi leta toh wahan se main kuch kar toh nehi paata. Naa beech mei kaam chhor ke fauraan laut kar Rahul ko rok pata aur naa hi uss wajah ke kaaran wahan office ki kaam pad concentrate kar pata. Dono taraf se mera hi nuksaan tha.
Isliye laptop khol kar Mumbai se maine ghar pad jasoosi nehi kiya. Mere Manali ko call naa karne ka reason ek toh tha jald se jald sidha ghar laut kar usse surprise dena, pata nehi wo actually surprised hogi ya nehi voh baat alag hain, lekin umeedo pe toh duniya kayem hain. Pad doosra reason jo ki Main Reason tha mera call naa karne ka, voh yeh tha ki Manali ke ander mujhe lekar koi bhi emotional complication agar create hue hain toh uss cheez ko mai sidha ghar jaa ke face karna chaata tha. Aise phone par family matter lekar uljha raha toh naa office ka mamla sahi se nipta paunga aur naa hi ghar ka. Jisse kehte hain 'naa ghar ke rahe naa ghat ke'. So, it's better to not to call at home during those days which I spend in Mumbai.
Dekhte hi dekhte Mahanagari Mumbai mein aise hi char din kat gaye mere, from Tuesday night to Saturday night. Mumbai bohut pyara saher tha, bohut accha laga mujhe wahan jaa kar.
Sirf maine nehi balki humare poore team ne itna dedication se kaam kiya ki 5-6 din ka kaam 4 din mein hi humne nipta diya tha. So, Saturday night ko hi humhe Kolkata ke flight mein betha diya gaya. Chalo, gharbar sab bhul kar itna busy reh kar kaam karne ka ek toh rebate mila, ki office tour jaldi khatam ho gaya. Aab weekend mein aram se ghar mein samay beetane milega hum sab colleagues ko. Kyunki office tour ke naam par Sunday ko koi apna natural chutti gavaah kar kaam nehi karna chaata, chahein aap tour ke naam pe Paris kyun na bhej dea usse.
Anyway, Saturday night ko main Mumbai se lauta. Kolkata mein land hua takriban raat ke 11 baje. Maine socha itne raat ko ghar jaa kar Manali ko taqlif nehi dunga. Kyunki, tab sayed Manali dinner karke sone jaa rehi hogi. Agar abhi ghar lautu toh Manali ko itne raat mein phirse mere liye dinner banane hogi. Kolkata lautne ke baat toh maine usse inform tak nehi kiya tha. So, tab main agar ghar laut ta toh Manali bohut unprepared ho jaati.
Iske lawa, raat ke 11 baaj chuke the, koi public transport milna muskil tha. Aur yeh kahani 2013 ke samay ka. Tab OLA, UBER itna spotlight mein nehi aaya tha. Tab Kolkata ka famous Yellow Taxi hi ek matra zaariya tha, if there was no other public transport available like Buses. But phir bhi main socha itne raat ko flat mein wapas naa jana hi sahi hain. Aaj raat Airport area ke hi ek hotel mein taher leta hu. Ekdam se kal subha fresh hokar jaunga.
Pad mujhe Kolkata laut kar thoda ajeeb sa feel hone laga. Pata nehi kyun Kolkata mujhe alag sa lagne laga tha. En kuch dino mein aisa kya hua jo mera jaana pahechana iss saher ko mere samne itna ajnaabi sa kar diya tha?
Iss saher ke hawa aur fizao mein mujhe kuch alag sa hi feeling aane laga tha. Kya kuch badla tha mere zindegi mein, mere hi anjaane mein? Mera gut feeling keh raha tha, kuch toh badlaav hua hain mere zindegi mein jo prakriti mujhe ehsaas karwana chaata tha. Mere zindegi yani mere Manali. Kya hua hain usse? Kuch hua hain kya? I must need to find out.
So, that is also another reason to not come back to the home direct from the Airport. Tab yeh pata lagane ka waqt tha ki kya sach mein kuch ghata hain ghar mein en kuch dino mein ya 'raato' mein, in my absence? Ya phir yeh mera koi illusion hain? Char din seher se bahar rehe kar jyada kaam karne ke kaaran mera dimaag hang ho chuka tha kya? Tab mere ander ka 'Bangaliana' jaag gaya tha kya jo mai nature ko aise poetic way mei define kar raha tha? Kya mai jaroorat se jyada philosopher ban raha tha tab? Yeh sab sawaalo ka uttar jane bagair mera ghar lautna uchit nehi hota bilkul bhi.
Mai Airport 1no. Gate ke wahan ek hotel mein gaya aur ek room liya, not for that night only, but for at least two days. Why?
Because iss kahani ke kuch shabdo ke beech mere zindegi ke char din already nikal chuke the. Aab uss char din mein mere zindegi ke kahani koi naayi karavat (turn) leta hain ki nehi yeh gaur se dekhne aur janne ke liye mujhe at least ek din rukna hi hoga. And for emergency, ek aor extra day maine book karwa liya tha hotel room ke.
I booked the room from Saturday night to Monday night. Boss ne Monday ko chutti diya tha. Isliye yahan Tuesday se mujhe office join karna tha. Toh check-out time either Monday evening ya Tuesday morning ko rakhta. Future hum mein se koi dekh nehi paata. Ghar mein agar aisa koi situation arise ho jiss kaaran main chahun toh bhi Monday evening ko ghar laut naa pau, toh another option ke liye Tuesday morning check out karta. Ek raat aor beetane ke liye thoda extra charge (room rent) dena padta sirf. Waise bhi Tuesday ko toh office jana hi hain chahei ghar mein kuch bhi halat kyun naa ho. Uss din office jaa kar tour ke project ka analysis jo karna tha. So, Tuesday morning is the ultimate time for me to check out.
Ho sakta hain mera shaq galat nikle. Aisa kuch hua hi nehi, aur main khamakha hi apne ander darr ko panap ne de raha tha prakiti ke upar ilzaam laga kar. Agar aisa hi hain toh mujhse jyada khus aor koi nehi hoga.
'Probably' en kuch dino mein aisa kuch dekhne layak ghata hi nehi hain mere ghar mein jiske liye mujhe hotel mein do din tak baith kar ghar ke situation ka jaayeza lena ho. Aur phir iss wajah se main agle din yani Sunday ko hi check out karke hotel se nikal jau aur ghar chala jau. Phir toh mere paise thode waste hi hoga. Kyunki jyada din ke liye room book karne se paise thode jyada hi lagta hain. Pad sacchai ke khoj mein agar thode paise waste bhi hota hain uss se mujhe koi taqlif nehi hoga. But I need to prepeare for any kind of consequences which might be happen due to my absence.
Doubt tha mere maan mein ki aisa bhi kya kaaran ya naarazgi thi Manali ki, ke usne mujhe en char din mein ek bar bhi call nehi kiya! Main toh chalo kaam mein bohut busy tha. Kaam se chutti milte hi sapno ke nagari Mumbai ko nihaar ne nikal padta tha. Waise bhi sansaarik vishay mei main thoda casual hi hu. Agar kabhi main Manali se dur rehta tha, toh wo hi mujhe call karke mera haal chaal poochte the. Pad iss baar aisa kyun nehi hua? Why?
Yeh baat Kolkata land karne ke baadh mere zehen mein khata (click kiya). Mumbai rehte ekbar ke liye laga tha ki aab mujhe laptop se video dekhne ke koi jaroorat nehi hain. Manali Rahul ko already keh chuke the ki wo aab aor 'yeh sab' nehi karegi. Pad kolkata ke hawa mujhe ishaaro mein kuch aor hi paegam de raha tha.
Isliye maine ekdam do din ka hotel room book kar liya, with having a reserve night (Monday Night). Waise bhi aagle do din mera chutti tha. It was Sunday, and Boss gave us the 'Leave' on the Monday who were went to the tour.
After returning back to Kolkata, jet lag tha isliye hotel ke room mein jaa kar main aankhe khol bhi nehi paa raha tha, apna laptop kholna toh dur ki baat tha. Isliye uss raat mere se kuch dekha nehi gaya. Room mein jaa kar sidha so gaya. Agle din subha hua toh baitha main Laptop khol kar.
Ufffff.... Kya hoga? Kuch hoga? Aisa kya sach mein kuch hua jo dekh kar mera dil dahal jayega? Yeh sab soch kar hi mere hath pair thande hone lag gaye the.
Maine video rewind karke ekdam Tuesday jab main ghar se Airport ke liye rawana hua, wahan se recording ko dekhna suru kiya. Ghar ke maahol ka ek bhi lamha main miss nehi karna chaata tha.
Uss raat (Tuesday night) ghar se Airport ke liye mere nikal jane ke badh aisa kuch bhi khaas ghatna-karam nehi ghata. Rahul ne bhi koi aise galat harkate nehi kiya. Maine socha chalo thik hain, sayed sachmuch baala taal chuka hain. Manali ki kaadi warning Rahul ke zahen tak pohuncha hain, tabhi wo aor badmashi karne ka saahas nehi dekhaya.
Pad abhi "The Wednesday" aana baki tha. Dekhte hain Wednesday ka subha kya lekar aata hain. Kahein yeh shant maahol, tufaan se pahele ke shaanti ki tarah toh nehi tha? Let's see....
