《Kuch Ankahi Baatein》Diwali

Advertisement

The arrival of autumn marked the month of October... The season brought along the festival of Diwali with itself... Diwali the festival could soften even the hardest of hearts with a prominent of give & forgive... Every corner of Ahmedabad city was lit up with shimmering lights.. dancing in the air... Streets were crowded till late night.. as the list of purchasing going on.. since it was the most awaited festival of the year....

Chachiji prepare a to-do list for Diwali... And Taiji keeps on adding her own items which she required at her home for Diwali... Girls were busy in-house cleaning and decoration... coloring diyas..making hand-made kandils..Rangoli..handmade sweets and so on....

Nanu also has so much work to finish before Diwali as he declares three days holiday for every employee in the factory with bonus... He keeps on checking the quantity of sweets they have to buy and the sweets they want to make at home by their ancestral halwai... who used to make it every year... For Anubhav, all these things are new and excited as this is the first time he is at home during this festival... Generally.. he stays back at hostel or sometimes at Delhi where he was never be allowed to participate in any preparation... considering him as an outsider...

Nanu: Aaj itne saalon baad lag raha hai ki is ghar mein bhi Diwali hai.. varna to bus akele Pooja karta tha aur Ramdhari thode diye laga deta tha... Teri Nani ke baad to tyohar manana chhut hi gaya tha...

Anubhav: Nanu koi baat nahi... iss baar main hun na aapke saath... hum milkar Diwali manayenge...

Nanu: yeh baat to hai... par mujhe to intzaar hoga us din ka jab teri Dulhan is ghar mein Diwali ki taiyari karegi... apane haathon se mithai banayegi..bhagwaan ka prasad.. mandir sajana..Rangoli banana..diya lagana... Us din hogi is ghar mein alsi Diwali ki dhoom...

Anubhav shyly laughed and said: Nanu aap bhi na.... chaliye tab tak mujhse hi kaam chala lijiye...

(in his mind): intzaar to mujhe bhi hai jab voh is ghar mein aayegi aur isse khushiyon se bhar degi... par beta... manzil abhi duuuuuur hai...

Diwali morning.. Anubhav came back from morning workout and Nanu was waiting for him...

Nanu: anubhav tu aa gaya jogging se.. chal achchha hua..jaldi se taiyar hokar aaja

Anubhav: Good morning Nanu.. but itni subah taiyar hokar jaan kahaan he.. Aaj to chhutti bhi hai...

Nanu: Barkhurdar..aaj chhutti hi nahi.. Diwali bhi hai.. aur hum Mandir ja rahe hai..

Anubhav: Mandir?? Par Nanu main Mandir nahi jaata... yaad bhi nahi ki pichhali baar kab gaya hounga..

Nanu: Are isiliye to kah raha hun..chal mere saath.. Bhagwan se aashirwaad bhi le lena..

Anubhav: Par mere liye to aapka aashirwaad hi bahut hai... mujhe aur kuchh nahi chahiye..

Nanu got emotional and hug him... Beta par mere saath to chal sakta hai na... kya pata aaj tujhe bhi kuchh special prasad mil jaaye...

Anubhav: Ok Nanu.. aap ke liye kuchh bhi.. main abhi taiyar hokar aaya..

On the other side.. Naina comes to temple murmuring : Uff late ho gayi aaj to... aur banaao prasad apane haathon se.. Chachiji kah bhi rahi thi ki mandir se prasad kharid lena par nahi tujhe to har baat mein kuchh alag karna hota hai na.. chal bhaag nahi to aarti khatam ho jayegi.....

Climbing stairs with Nanu..a soothing feeling took over his heart... As if somehow his wishes should be granted..as if he would meet his Haseena..to whom he is missing terribly due to holidays... Inside temple.. Anubhav very affectionately seeing the Rama Sita Idol... Aarti starts and here Haseena comes inside... A wind just passed away through Anubhav indicating " Voh aas paas hi hai..."

Haseena also feeling presence of Anubhav but jerked her thoughts saying "Tu bhi paagal hai... voh mandir mein kya karega"

Both are standing 2 feet away from each other folding hands and eyes closed...

Pandit ji comes with Aarti thali firstly to Nanu and Anubhav... He takes the aarti and pray for Haseena and Nanu..his two lifelines... Then Pandit ji comes to Haseena.. She takes the aarti and give halwa to Pandit ji saying .. Pandit ji.. aaj maine apne haathon se bhog banaya hai... Please chada dijiye....

Pandit ji: Jeeti raho Haseena bitiya... He goes to idol and offer the prasad to idols.... Haseena went to do Parikrama...Pandit ji came back and starts distributing Prasad to all people standing there... he forwards to Nanu and Anubhav as well... Anubhav took the prasad and eat.. instantly he feels a soothing connection and said: Wah Nanu.. agar mandir aane se itna tasty halwa milta he to main roj mandir aa jaunga..

Pandit ji: Are nahi beta..yeh to ek ladki apane haath se bana kar laayi hai... yahi to thi kahan chali gayi...

Nanu also went for Parikrama and Anubhav started roaming around to see the beauty of temple..of nature...

Haseena was reading the mantra written on the mandir back wall when she saw Nanu was coming towards her side without seeing shattered glass pieces lying on the muddy ground... she run towards Nanu and pulled him back..with jerk.. she lost her own balance and landed on the ground..

Nanu: are beta kya hu... tumne mujhe roka kyun aur phir khud se gir kaise gayi...

Haseena while getting up : Von uncle ji wahan kaanch ke tukde pade the... agar aap aage jaate to aapko lag jaate .. sorry maine aapko achanak se pakad kar khincha.. aapko kahin lagi to nahi..

Nanu Seeing towards ground: Thank you beta... par tumhein to haath mein chot lag gayi girne ki wajah se... dekho thoda khoon bhi bah raha hai...

Haseena : Koi baat nahi uncle ji... yeh to theek ho jayega.. par aap to theek hai na..

Nanu with love patted on her head : Jeeti raho... Bhagwan tumhe hamesha khush rakhe

(in his mind): Jo ladki ek anjaan ke liye itna kar sakti hai.. voh jis bhi ghar mein jayegi..us ghar ko roshan kar degi... Aaj Diwali ke shubh din isse mulaqat hona... kya bhagwan ka koi ishaara hai..

Haseena: Achchha uncle main chalti hoon.. aur haan... Diwali ki bahut bahut shubhkamnaye... saying this she touched his feet to take his blessings..

Nanu feel a peace from inside while blessing her and said: Tumhein bhi.. sada khush raho aur aise hi muskurati raho... Par beta aisa lagta hain maine tumhe kahi dekha hai...

Haseena: Uncle mein PVKM mein padati hun jahan par aap trusty hain... maine aapko kai baar school functions mein dekha hai...

Nanu: haan haan.. yaad aaya... tumne is baar bhi dance mein first prize jeeta tha.. hain na.. tumhara naam kya tha..main to bhool hi gaya...

Haseena was about to tell her name but then only Pandit ji came and call her... are bitiya yeh tumhara dibba rah gaya... ghar bhi to prasad lekar jaogi ki nahi...

Haseena : Dhanyawaad pandit ji and she starts leaving the temple...Nanu was smiling seeing her going and move to meet his old friends in garden at mandir courtyard...

Here Anubhav was roaming when he notices Haseena climbing downstairs of temple stairs and run to meet her but bumped on Pandit ji...

Pandit ji: are beta kahan bhaage ja rahe ho... tumhare nanaji to udhar garden ki taraf gaye hai..

Anubhav: sorry pandit ji voh maine dekha nahi... aapko lagi to nahi..

Pandit Ji: are nahi nahi... are haan voh tumhe prasad achchha laga tha na.. voh dekho voh jo neele suit mein ladki ja rahi he na usi ne banaya tha... Haseena..bahut pyari bachchi hai....

Anubhav got shocked knowing the fact and got amazed how as and when he always collides with her... He had come here to pray for her and he found her here... Maybe there truly was someone up there listening to your heart and soul...... hum hamesha itne paas hokar bhi itna dur kyun ho jaate hai... pata nahi hamare beech hai kya.. Par main bahut khush hun ... aaj Diwali ke din ki shuruaat Haseena ke haath ke banaye prasad se hui hai... This is my Best Diwali ever... Happy Diwali Haseena...

Here Haseena reached home and offered prasad to Chachaji and Chachiji and take their blessings..

Chachiji: Are Haseena..yeh tere haath mein chot kaise lagi.. kahi gir gayi thi kya.. dikha kahin aur to nahi lagi?

Haseena narrates the whole story and assure that she is perfectly fine... Chachiji got worried remembering kundali incident and look towards Chachaji.. who assures her to not to worry much... everything is fine.. its merely a coincidence......

Chachaji lovingly patted her head : beta.. yeh achchhi baat hai ki tum hamesha dusron ka bhala sochti ho.. par apna bhi dhyan rakha karo.. tumhein pata hai na hum tumse kitna pyar karte hai..

Haseena: Sorry Chachaji.. aage se dhyan rakhungi... are Pooja didi aur Preeti kahan hai...

Chachiji: Pooja to baahar balcony mein damaad ji se phone par baat kar rahi hai aur Preeti uska to tujhe pata hi hai...

Haseena smiles: Koi baat nahi... main dekhti hoon use... Saying this she moved to her room and went straight to Pooja didi...

Haseena : Didi... Happy Diwali... saying this she hugged her from back...

Pooja : Happy Diwali Haseena... le apne jijaji se bhi bata karle.. kab se tere baare mein puchh rahe the..

Haseena took the cordless: Happy Diwali jijaji... Yeh kya bata hui aap humse milane bhi nahi aate..

Varun : Kya kare Saaliji.. ghar walon ne pehra laga rakha hai.. kehte hein shaadi mein kuchh hi din he to No milna julna....

Haseena giggle : Toh Judaai track is on.... Koi baat nahi sabr ka phal meetha hota hai... achchha lo aap didi se baat karo ...

Haseena come inside and wake up Preeti ... Uth ja behan aaj Diwali hai... aaj to jaldi se taiyar ho le isse pehle ki Taiji ki Mahabharat shuru ho jaye...

Preeti : Tu bhi na.. Taiji ka naam liye bina tujhe chain nahi milta... Aaj Diwali ke din to baksh de meri Maa...

After breakfast they are finished preparation and get ready for Diwali celebration... Haseena and Pooja prepare beautiful Rangoli at the doorstep and Preeti did all decoration...

Anubhav accompanied Nanaji to factory to perform Laxmi Puja as per the mahurat.... Anubhav met few staff members as well and distribute the boxes of Meethai to all staff.... That was all together a different experience for Anubhav..

In evening after Pooja.. they celebrate Diwali with full enjoyment and later.. Vyom Cheetah joined them to burst cracker...
