Memories in March Page #2

the worst day in my life.

That nothing worse

could ever happen to me.

Aunty, that's one of Sid's campaigns.

Ma said, 'What's the matter? '

You're the first one to know.

The office car wants to know

if Sahana wants to leave now?

Sahana, its 5 already

No.

Suresh this is Arati from Calcutta.

"With whom shall we play

Holi today in Brajatown?"

"The cruel handsome one

has left, he's let us down."

"Savourless Vrindavan.

flavourless forest"

"All the milkmaid

damsels are totally depressed"

"With whom shall we play

Holi today in Brajatown?"

"Dark eyes flow,

the girls' cheeks aglow"

Shall we leave, Sir?

"Why. handsome one.

why this cruel frown?"

"Stop coming here so often."

"Dark eyes flow,

the girls' cheeks aglow"

"Why. handsome one.

why this cruel frown?"

"With whom shall we play Holi

today in this cowherd town?"

Siddharth's mother's on the phone.

Is your mobile switched off?

Oh, did it at the condolence meeting.

Forgot to switch it on

You were blaming him

for no reason at all.

But there's some truth in it too.

Don't think about all this.

Just sleep tight, ok?

Shall I make tea in the meanwhile?

In my house guests don't make tea.

He can be replaced by another stud.

Give me my photo.

Let me take a look.

Was Doorknob here?

His bag is on the table

Call him up and tell him?

I think his phone is in his bag

Told you

Then?

He'll come back, don't worry.

Spoke to your Movers & Packers.

They can't do it so fast.

When are you leaving?

Tomorrow

They'll need a week.

I don't think he'll come back.

Will you return his bag?

And this packet that he left behind.

Won't see him soon. Aunty

Later.

Don't worry, he'll send Ramratan,

give it to him.

Shall I confirm

with the Movers & Packers then?

Your exact photocopy.

Just ten years older than me.

Probably you'll get psyched now

Babu and you have

the same caller tune.

Yeah, he took it from me

That evening when I called

you for Suresh's number,

I suddenly I felt I was calling Babu

He called...

he must be very drunk.

I remember asking him

for it so many times.

He wouldn't give it to me.

Does Movers & Packers take a long time to

shift stuff from Calcutta to Delhi?

All this stuff will go to Delhi.

How else?

Listen. all this love

and romance is fine.

See a beautiful bird

and put it in a cage.

see colourful fishes and

immediately keep it in the aquarium.

"This is a strange invitation"

"Who is waiting for whom?"

"From guest to all at once"

"The one in charge of home"

"This is a strange invitation"

One second, so much dirt?

When did he buy so many clothes?

You gave him. I'm sure.

Gifted him

I don't remember.

Can I say something?

Promise, you won't react?

It belongs to you,

so I have to return it, don't I?

It doesn't belong to me.

I've been wondering ever since

I heard about this thing yesterday

About what?

Sid's abnormality.

Did it happen due to my negligence?

After my divorce,

Suresh went off to the US.

I drowned myself in

work to get over it.

Maybe I didn't pay that

much attention to him.

May be if I'd taken him to

a psychiatrist or a counsellor then!

Yes.

There are a few friends and

acquaintances who specialize in this.

What's the point now?

You are not a mother.

how will you understand?

If you love my handloom sarees.

Go lay the table...

I'll just finish packing

You laid the table or what?

No.

Got room service

from a five star hotel

You don't have spoons and forks?

I eat with my hands

Why?

Just like that

Must be some reason

How?

He was very scared

of you in this matter.

Baldy!

Should I ask Sahana

to keep the aquarium?

And what about your parents?

They might want to know.

I'll tell them it belonged to Sid.

Who for?

"With great care dressed

for the tryst"

"Found the right clothes"

"Kohl in the eyes."

"Dazzling guise"

"In the hair flower rows"

"Friend, to a tryst I go with him"

"Tell me, is it real

or just a dream?"

"Yamuna's shore"

"Deep darkness wore"

"Between thick forest groves"

"Where my love hides"

"Danger abides"

"Yet there he sit's and wait's"

"Friend, to a tryst I go with him"

"Tell me, is it real

or just a dream?"

"Friend. I'm the hapless one"

"Sat all alone in the darkness grim"

"Even then he didn't come."

"Friend I'm the hapless one"

"The black kohl melts deep and dark"

"Is a joyless abode"

"On such a meaningless tryst."

"Friend. I'm the unfortunate one"

"With great care dressed

for the tryst"

Should we close Sid's email account?

"With great care dressed for the tryst"

"Found the right clothes"

"Kohl in the eyes."

"Dazzling guise"

"In the hair flower rows"

"Friend, to a tryst I go with him"

"Tell me, is it real or just a dream?"

You didn't tell me it's

your birthday tomorrow?

I could have gone a day later

Phut! I'll just stay

at home on my own.

No office?

Tell me something.

Will you really forget

him in no time at all?

Get involved with somebody else?

It's possible right?

Yes, it is possible...

We all think, how bad can it be?

This much. a little more maybe.

We'll manage somehow.

But then suddenly it hit's us so hard.

It's going to rain

Lovely breeze

"Moonlit night on the

bank of the river,"

"Where the lovely

breeze does gently shiver"

"The gathering's probably over"

"Guests must all have left for home"

"Only me unasked still waiting"

"Hoping he returns from where he roams"

"This is a strange invitation"

What is it?

Sid's mother has sent you a gift.

But she's gone already.

Ornob's driver dropped it off...

You're looking very nice, Sir.

You know today's my birthday.

Wish me

And remember we have to pick up

Sid's fish tank on our way back home.
