Shaam ke manzar mein wo aasmaan ka satrangi hona
Baarish bhare badalon ka achanak garajna aur barasna
Phir badalon mein chupke sooraj ka dheere se gayab hona
Yaad dilate hain mujhe ye saare pal un nayab lamhat ke
Bethke jab khoob karte the baatein
aur kho jaate the khayalon mein betuki lamhon ke
Wo talab ke kinaare chote chote darakhton ka ugna
Wo ghonsle mein chidiya ke bacchon ka fudakna
Wo meindak ka tar tar aur achanak chalaang lagana
Wo billiyon ka baarish ke talaab mein machli pakadna
Wo panchiyon ke surili kuhuk se madhur sangeet ka gunjna
Tumhara panipoori khaana aur hamesha beemar padna
Tumhe chidana aur fir gussa dilake pyaar se manaana
Yaad karo to ab bhi taaza hain jaise kal ki hi baat ho , hai naa!!
Tamso Maa Jyotir Gamaya
mushkill bushkill - The Prelude
It was the labor day weekend and I was aleady set for flying to BaltiMore (BM) where I would meet my friends Kris and Shaz after a long time.Too much of excitement sometimes gives more adventures :) If you don't believe then continue reading.
I was taking the flight from Chicago to Baltimore and was on time in the airport relaxing for the boarding to start but then just 5 mins before the boarding start time there was an announcement "The Flight to Baltimore has been delayed because of Technical Problems, All passengers will be shifted to another flight"
As I know about my hard luck with these transportation Vehicles :) this announcement was a minor issue for me because this time I had no other connecting flight to catch, so although my co passengers looked panicked and started more enquiring, I was still relaxing at the same place listening to my favourite song "Kal ho na ho..."
After another 15 mins we were told which flight will be adjusting us so I smiled at the announcer and stood up to take a coffee from the near by starbucks counter.In the next 50th min I was sitting in the Baltimore flight reading my everlasting novel (I always read it during flight and never have been able to finish it in the last 2 years :))
The flight landed on time and now it was wait time to meet Kris and Neelu (Kris's wife) who were going to reach in another 10 mins because of my Airline's grace (If my flight had not got changed then it would have been 1 hr wait time).
Kris's flight arrived on time and then "do beechde yaar mil gaye" :) WOW!! what a moment.
After a warm hug and some light discussion we moved towards the exit to get our rental car for our next trip "New Jersey"
where we were going to meet Shaz and Sapt (Shaz's husband). In the meantime Shaz called me to know whether we reached BM and I told her that we have reached on time and will be leaving for New Jersey in another 30-45 mins.As soon as we reached the rental office Kris got a call from Sapt which changed his face expressions to a confused one !! I and Neelu looked at him and he was blank !!
"So what is it ?? Kya hua ??" Kris in some confusion answered "There is a change in Plan, Sapt has bought a new car and wants to surprise Shaz" "Wow!! thats amazing to tu pareshan kyun hai??" I replied. Kris with his confused expression told "Nahi problem hai ki wo apni nai car mein Shaz ko Pocono leke jayega!!" Now both of us had the same expression "CONFUSED!!"
YEAH! we had a problem now.Earlier we all had decided that we will take a six seater rental van from BM to NJ and after picking up Shaz & Sapt will go to Pocono together.Now this sudden change in plan was problematic in 2 ways, 1st that we 3 will be driving a big six seater van to Pocono and next the more important one we have to keep this as a secret from Shaz :)
Kris and Neelu were left with no choice other than driving a six seater alone till Pocono which was like
4-5 hrs from BM.In the meantime we also planned to meet Neelu's sister and her family (husband and 3 kids), Meeting Neelu's sister's family was fun because of their twin daughters and son.After having some good dinner with them we left for Pocono.
Meantime Shaz had called once and I had lied that we are stuck in a traffic jam but I was expecting to hear back from her after Sapt's suprise and had not got any call from past 1 hr.All the 3 of us were tensed in our driving trip to Pocono
