Debojyoti: - Accha, everyone listen to me. It is already 4.10 PM. We don’t have enough time to visit ‘Dolphin’s Nose’ now. We will now start our journey towards Coimbatore. We have to board the train from Coimbatore at 10.05 PM. In any case, there is nothing so special in ‘Dolphin’s Nose’. From there, you can view the Nilgiri range only.
Vartika: - Sir, everyone knows that grapes are sour when we cannot eat it.
Debojyoti: - Ha ha ha…actually, we don’t have time in our hand; otherwise, we have gone to that place. Anyway, next time, if we come to Ooty for conference, then we will surely visit ‘Dolphin’s Nose’.
Deepti: - Sir, at least, can we have some tea and snacks somewhere. We are feeling hungry now. We had our lunch at around 12 noon.
Debojyoti: - Yeah, yeah, we will have tea and snacks just after 30 minutes. There is a good tiffin center on the roadside. We can have tea and snacks there only.
********************************************************
Debarjun: - Uff…thank God, we have reached the tiffin center. I am feeling so sleepy that I badly need a cup of hot tea. Come on; let us get down from the bus.
********************************************************
Arindam: - Arrey, you people are still here. I thought that you people have already gone.
Jaidev: - No, no, we are still in Ooty for some minutes more, he he he…Our bus is on the way to Coimbatore. We were all feeling sleepy and tired. That’s why; we all decided to get down at this tiffin center and have some tea or snacks.
Arindam: - You are from IBS Pune. Then, why you people are travelling in the bus of IBS Mumbai team?
Jaidev: - Arrey, yaar. Mumbai and Pune are just close to each other. Hardly 3-4 hours bus distance from each other. So, why, IBS Pune need to hire another bus for that?
Arindam: - Hmm…at least, Mumbai is still nearer to Ooty. Our Kolkata is very far from this place.
Jaidev: - Mumbai is not so close to Ooty. We will board a train from Coimbatore today to reach Mangalore. From Mangalore, there is another train to Mumbai. From Mumbai, we will go by bus to Pune. So, in the Indian map, Mumbai looks closer to Ooty, but, actually, the train line is very lengthy as it has to cross the entire Konkan coast of Karnataka. Anyway, I have to make a call at my house from this PCO booth. See you in the next conference.
Arindam: - Yeah, yeah, sure; see you next time.
*****************************************************************
Nupur: - Excuse me! Can you please wash your hands a little bit faster? Our bus is about to start. They are waiting for me.
Arindam: - Oh! Yeah, you are excused!
Nupur: - Oh! You! You were washing your hands while turning back. That’s why; I have not noticed you. You take too much time to wash your hands.
Arindam: - hmm…you are in a hurry to go back to your IBS Mumbai bus. Well, who knows, when can I see you again?
Nupur: - Why? Why? Are you not coming in the next SAP conference?
Arindam: - No, I am not coming. You are also not coming, naah?
Nupur:- Why should I come and dance in the next SAP conference if someone will not be there to see my dance, hee hee hee…Arindam, we will see each other again in the next SAP Conference. Take care. This time, I will not bid you goodbye, kyon ki, we will meet again…
Arindam: - Ha ha ha…bahut chalak ho…yeah, yeah, we will meet again after 6 months. Take care.

Debolina: - aaha re…Sain…bechara…The bus of IBS Mumbai has gone now. You may be feeling so depressed about that.
Arindam: - Hmm…Debolina, everyone has to go. Some goes earlier and some goes later.
Debolina: - Do you like her? The way you were talking with her, it seems as if you know her for years.
Arindam: - Again, you have started! She is just my friend. Yes, I like her because she is a good dancer. What is your problem in that?
Debolina: - Wow! That’s good. But, I have never seen you praising any girl in IBS Kolkata, that’s why; I am suspicious that you may have fallen in love with her. Why you like her so much? If I would have performed a classical dance like her, would you have praised me the same way?
Arindam: - Uff…you girls cannot think anything in a very simple manner. Girls always have a tendency to complicate even little and unimportant issues. I really wonder why God has created woman. Now, let me tell you the truth. See, I met this girl in the common room of Sterling resort. At that time, I thought that she is just a Marathi girl and you know I dislike Marathis due to their racist nature. Later, when I saw her classical dance, I realized that this girl hails from a family, where traditional values are given priority. Any girl can perform hip-hop and western dance, but a girl cannot perform classical dance without practice, dedication and passion towards it. The way she performed that dance with natural facial expression, I felt as if when she was dancing on the stage, she was totally in her own fantasy world of classical dance. That dance impressed me. Later also, I came to know that she is a Rajasthani girl. Automatically, some respect grew in my heart towards her as she hails from the land of Rajput Queen, Padmini. Thanks to Abanindranath Tagore of Bengal for that.
Debolina: - as a result, you are having infatuation towards her!
Arindam: - It is not infatuation but admiration.
Debolina: - What is the guarantee that this admiration will not transform into an infatuation?
Arindam: - My heart always remains in my control. By the way, why should I have infatuation towards a girl who is already engaged with someone? She has a boyfriend with whom he will have her engagement next month. Moreover, she is yet to rule over my mind. So, your question is totally invalid in this regard.
Debolina: - Has she told you that she is engaged with someone? You are taking the information given by Vartika as an authentic one! How funny! I have read her eyes. She was staring at you, while she was having tea and snacks. Even after finishing her tea and snacks, she was sitting on her table and was waiting for the moment, when you will go to the wash basin to wash your hands.
Arindam: - Uff…you girls only notice all this bullshit things. Debolina, you are thinking too much about her. I am again telling you that we have nothing in between us. Even she also regards me as a friend only, nothing beyond that. Moreover, she is a non-Bengali girl.
Debolina: - Exactly! Now, come to the real point. You have also read her eyes and I know you are expert in it. But, as she is a non-Bengali girl, you are intentionally ignoring the entire fact. Till date, you had girlfriends, who are all Bengali. Show me any of your love relationship which has become successful till now.
Arindam: - How does the factor of Bengali or non-Bengali girls come into play here? This is India! Here economy decides the fate of any love relationship. If a boy has no money in his wallet, there is a 90% chance that his love story will end at anytime. That does not mean that Bengali girls are pathetic in maintaining their love relationship. Bengali girls are very caring and don’t play politics with their boyfriend, whereas non-Bengali girls play politics with their boyfriends and utilizes them like slaves. Now I am telling you this thing from my experience only.
Debolina: - Arindam, I have done my studies from Kendriya Vidyalaya School. I had more non-Bengali girls than Bengali girls as friends. I have always got help from my non-Bengali friends but not from the Bengali friends during bad times. Bengali girls are the ones who play politics with their boyfriends. Now I am telling you this thing from my experience. Let me tell you another thing straight on your face that you are not fit for any Bengali girl. A Bengali girl always prefers their boyfriend to be an introvert, shy and of cunning type, whereas a non-Bengali girl prefers to have an extrovert, simple, straightforward and fun loving boyfriend. Your character falls in the second category. You are such an extrovert and fun-loving guy that a Bengali girl will always ditch you. A non-Bengali girl will never let you go from her love relationship but the irony is that you are yet to have a non-Bengali girlfriend in your life.
Arindam: - What? What? My goodness! What have you said just now? All went above my head. Wait; let me take another cup of hot tea. Uff…baapre baap. By the way, Debolina, why the hell are you so jealous on her?
Debolina: - It is for the same reason only. I am sitting beside you with a cup of tea. When she saw that, she felt jealous also. So, you know the answer, dear.
Arindam: - hmm…actually, we boys don’t want to know the answers of some questions because we always love to live a happy-go-lucky life. I am not ruling out the fact that I will never have a non-Bengali girlfriend, but, at least, a non-Bengali girl should know our Bengali culture. You know, after all, how a person can sacrifice his own culture in the name of a love relationship with a girl of another culture. That’s why, I still prefer Bengali girls only.
Debolina: - Thank God! I am a Bengali girl!
Arindam: - I said that I prefer Bengali girls. I have not said that I will make any Bengali girl like you as my girlfriend.
Debolina: - uuh…I will regard you as my boyfriend…uuh….Have you seen your face in the mirror?
Arindam: - Hmm…Debrup should have come in this Ooty Conference. He is really missing his beloved one….he he he…aaah…ouch…why are you beating me now? This is the problem with you girls! You people cannot tolerate the brutal truth.
Debolina: - I thought you are an idiot. But, you are a ‘Gyaan-Paapi’. From outside, you look like a foolish child but you are very experienced and matured guy from inside. It is very easy for a girl to become your friend but that much difficult to become your girlfriend.
Arindam: - Ha ha ha...Actually, my heart is not as strong as my firewall. My smart brain is my firewall, which blocks some girls from becoming my girlfriend. I had no other choice. Wherever I go, someone falls in love. I cannot shout at them and say, ‘Hey, you young lady, why the hell have you fallen in love with me?’
Debolina: - Uff…it is very difficult to defeat you in the war of words. That’s why; many girls are always scared of your flirting in Orkut.
Arindam: - I flirt with girls to know their psychology. It is like beating the trumpets to test the quality of its sounds.
Debolina: - Ok, ok, I also know that. Now, Sir is calling us to get inside the bus. It is already 5.35 PM now. We can have our war of words after going back to IBS Kolkata also. You are yet to finish this cup of tea! What is the point in taking a cup of hot tea, if you will drink it as a cold drink?
*****************************************************************
Debojyoti: - Accha, listen to me. We will all have our dinner at the Kerala Restaurant only. Does anyone have any problem in eating Keralite dishes, please raise your hand? Oh! No one has any problem! Everyone is ready to eat Keralite dishes again. That’s great.
