Rathi: - I have come across this word ‘Dodabetta’ in our school geography book. But, I don’t remember that what is so special about it?
Koustav: - Dodabetta is the highest peak of the Nilgiri range. It is not a peak also. It is the topmost range of nilgiris, you can say.
Surya: - Ladies and Gentlemen, please all of you look through the right side windows of this bus. Can you see the tea gardens on the right side of this road? This is the tea garden, where many film songs were filmed. Even the Bollywood actor Dilip Kumar came here once upon a time to shoot for a filmy song with his beloved Saira Banu.
Agarwal: - I am damn sure that the name of the film was ‘Sagina Mahato’. Was it so?
Surya: - Sorry, I also don’t know the name of the film. Before me, my uncle was the tour guide of this bus. He used to make this statement to all those tourists in his time. I am just repeating his words only. Ok, now look at the left side of this road. This is the guest house which has been created by another great Bollywood actor whose name is Mithun Chakraborty.
Rathi: - Oye…Mithun daa ney Ooty mein kyon guest house banaya…oye…
Anupam:- Ha ha ha…Rathi bhai…you are expert in doing the mimicry of our Mithun daa.
Sunny: - Mithun toh saala parar mastaan chilo…But, he got the offer to act in the film ‘Disco Dancer’. After that film, he never looked back. Till date, Mithun has done more than 600 films in his career, which is itself a record. Also he has bagged two national awards. One was for ‘Mrigaya’ film and another one for ‘Tahader Katha’. As a serious parallel cinema actor, he is excellent, but, I really wonder why the hell he signs those bullshit Bengali films like ‘Phatakesto’. In those films, he looks very cheap. Pooro keora laage….What a dialogue it is indeed? ‘Maarbo ekhaney, laash porbey shashaney’.
Deepti: - What is the meaning of this dialogue?
Arindam: - It means, ‘Woh idhaar marega…aur tumhara laash porega keoratala ke shoshan mein’.
Debarjun: - Ha ha ha…uff, Sain, boss, either you speak in Bengali or English. Your Hindi is just pathetic. It is not ‘porega’, it will be ‘girega’.
Arindam: - Ok, ok, it is all similar, yaar. Do you people know the real name of Mithun? Mithun is just his screen name. The real name of Mithun is Gouranga Chakraborty. The word ‘Gouranga’ means Gourer Anga, that is, the body of God Krishna.
Angshuman: - He he he…uff baapre baap, Sain. Don’t make us laugh now. But, one thing is sure that Mithun is doing great business in South India. He has even opened a production house in South India. He is producing South Indian films with all the Bengali stories. And in Bengal, ‘Venkatesh Films’ is producing all Bengali movies with South Indian stories. It is basically a business with the exchange policy of stories, he he he…
Surya: - We have reached Dodabetta peak. All of you please get down from the bus to enjoy this Dodabetta area.
**************************************************************
Arindam: - Sir, there is a ropeway in that area. We can ride on ropeway to view the entire Nilgiri range.
Debojyoti: - No, no, the ropeway is now under construction and it is basically for the local people to travel from one valley to the other within a short time. Due to heavy thunderstorm last night, there are some technical faults in the electrical wires. Come on; let us go to that side of this Dodabetta.
**************************************************************
John: - Wow! This is just fabulous, man. I am feeling like I am in heaven now. Look at the left side. There are two rainbows. One is a big one and above that valley which is at a far distant, there is another small rainbow. On the right side, there are grey colored clouds, and within those clouds, there is a small gap through which the sun’s rays are hitting the valleys. It is looking like as if; our God is focusing a torch light on that valley. Fantastic! Everyone must visit this Dodabetta range.
Angshuman: - Hmm…you are right, John. The weather is also cool. Sometimes, there is sunshine, sometimes, it is drizzling. Ei, I can see an Ice Cream stall there. If anyone is interested in licking ice-creams, just follow me.
**************************************************************
Angshuman: - What is the price of this bar-stick?
Ice Cream Stall Owner: - Sir, it is only 10 bucks. I have Orange, Mango, Pineapple, Chocolate and Milk flavor. Which one will you take?
Angshuman: - Give me Milk flavor only. Ei, tomra je jaar flavor choose kore naao.
Arindam: - give me the mango flavor. Ha ha ha….ei, the company name of this Ice-Cream is ‘Jamai’. It is written on the packet of the bar-stick, ‘Jamai Ice –Cream’.
Debraj: - He he he…in South India, there is a ‘Jamai’ company. Oh! This is a height of comedy. Anyway, this ‘Jamai’ ice-cream tastes good. The taste is far better than the ice creams of Bengal. The Ice-Cream Stall Owner should export some ‘Jamai’ Ice creams to our West Bengal, he he he…
Sumanta: - Ei, Sain, just come to that side. I and Angshuman need to talk with you regarding a very important topic to have some fun…he he he…
*******************************************************
Angshuman: - Yesterday, Debolina was saying that you have fallen in love with a girl of IBS Mumbai!
Sumanta: - Chee…chee…Sain, you have no choice at all. She looks like any mediocre girl. Moreover, she is not at all fit for you. Believe me, I am telling you as your elder brother that you will get far better girl in your life. Also she is a non-Bengali girl. Is there any dearth of decent beautiful girls in our West Bengal?
Arindam: - My goodness! The water is flowing from where to where! I have just praised that girl for her dance performance. I have no other intention towards her. I really don’t know why Debolina is spreading such rumors about me.
Angshuman: - Yes, I was also having doubts on Debolina’s statements. Sumanta, I told you earlier, that Sain is not at all interested in that non-Bengali girl. Debolina is just jokingly spreading the rumors.
Arindam: - Well, Angshuman daa, Debolina was also telling me that you have praised the SAP officer of IBS Noida and you are having some infatuation towards her.
Angshuman: - Hey, now you are pulling my legs. That’s not fair.
Arindam: - Baah…you can pull my legs, that is ok, and if I do the same with you, that is not fair! How funny!
Angshuman: - Not only me. Even Sumanta is also in the queue.
Arindam: - Ha ha ha…See the fun! I don’t know about you people. But, if someone has started spreading rumors about my love affairs then let it spread like a fire in the jungle. It will act as a protective shield for me in IBS Kolkata. In IBS Kolkata, there is not a single girl who is fit for me. But, I have got the information that at least 6 girls are interested in me. Maybe it’s a rumor, but, still, why should I take the risks?
Sumanta: - Ha ha ha…no, the information that you have got is a correct one. I and Angshuman know those 6 girls. Out of those 6 girls, 2 are SAP trainees and 1 of them has come with us in this tour. Better be careful from her in this tour.
Arindam: - I am aware of that. Don’t worry; I am expert in handling her.
Sumanta: - Handle with care and caution, otherwise, you may burn your hands.
Arindam: - Aah…there are enough stocks of ‘Burnol’ antiseptic cream in the market.
Angshuman: - Uff, Sain, tumi ekti seyana maal. But, don’t fall in love with that non-Bengali girl. Your life will be ruined.
Arindam: - Don’t worry, she will remain as my friend only. Anyway, forget this bullshit topic. We are on a tour. Let us enjoy it. Come on; now we will go to the Botanical garden of Ooty.
