Srabanti:- Our school has won the 2nd prize in Inter-School Drama competition in Bengali segment for the drama, ‘Wagon Breaker.’ It is written on the notice board. See here. The competition was held at St.James School yesterday.
Kanchan:- Ok! Then, Satya has to give a treat to us. There goes Satya. Catch him! Catch him!
*****************************************************
Satya:- Arrey, what treat! Subir Sir is somewhat feeling dejected. The Bengali drama, ‘Banhisikha’ played by the students of New Alipore Multipurpose School was not so good but still they got the first prize.
Santu:- Arrey, those things happen. Now, how you are judging a drama is not always similar to the judgment made by any jury.
Satya:- But, still we acted so well on the stage. Our timings were too perfect. Maybe, the subject of their drama was stronger than us.
Srabanti:- Anyway, getting a 2nd prize out of 10 competitors is not a matter of joke. At least, you can give us a treat of one shingara (samosa) each.
Satya:- Ok, ok! Ei, Raju daa…sabai ke ekta kore shingara diye daao…amar taraf theke…
Raju daa (Snacks Canteen Owner of Saint Sebastian School):- Ok, for this treat, I will give 50% discount. 2 taakar shingarar daam ami 1 taka kore nabo…after all, you have won a prize in a Bengali drama.
****************************************************
Dolui:- Ei, come on, let’s go downstairs…two chikna girls have come from Loreto school.
Tamang:- Yeah! Yeah! chalo chalo…
****************************************************
Nisha (A Student of Loreto School):- Hi, we have come from Loreto School. Can we meet the Principal of this school?
Srinivas (Head Prefect of Saint Sebastian School):- Oh! Hi! I am Srinivas. Sure, sure, this way please!
***************************************************
Tamang:- Kya golaa piece hain bhai…Look at Srinivas…
Dolui:- Ha ha ha…the secretion of saliva inside his mouth has increased…I am damn sure about that…ha ha ha…
***************************************************
Urvashi (A Student of Loreto School):- Sir, I am Urvashi and she is Nisha. We are coming from Loreto School. Actually, we have come to invite the students of your school for our Annual Fest next week.
Mr. Roland:- Oho! Only students! Am I not eligible, I mean, the teachers!
Nisha:- Yeah! Yeah! Of course! All are invited. We just need your permission to stick this poster on the notice board of this school.
Mr. Roland:- Not an issue! Just go ahead!
Urvashi and Nisha:- Thank you, Sir!
*****************************************************
Manoj (School Monitor & Captain of Blue House of Saint Sebastian School):- Hi, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Manoj. You are Urvashi and you are Nisha, right. I got to know about you both from Srinivas. Srinivas is the head prefect of this school and I am just one level under him as the school monitor. That’s the difference. Oh! You people have also pasted the poster on our notice board. Great! Oh! There is an entry fee of 10 bucks each. Ok!
Urvashi:- Nice to meet you, Manoj. Hope to see you in our Annual Fest. See you there, bye!
Manoj:- Oh! Yeah! Bye! Sure! Sure!
Nisha (whispering to Urvashi):- He was behaving in such a fashion as if he has never seen beautiful girls like us. Uff!
***************************************************
Sister Suzanne (Nun Teacher & Anchor of the Annual Fest of Loreto School):- Ladies and gentleman, now, we are going to start the game of musical chair. Those who have won at least 3 prizes from any of the counters of our Fest are eligible for this musical chair game.
**************************************************
Sister Suzanne:- Now, we are in the final round of the musical chair. There are 5 contestants and 3 chairs.
Swarnali:- Arrey, Arindam daa jeh! I have not noticed you while running beside the chair.
Arindam:- Sorry! I can’t recognize you! Who are you?
Swarnali:- Bhuley geley! Durgabaari! Cousin Sister of Bidisha di…
Arindam:- Oho! Swarnali! You are wearing a red cap on your head and having so much make-up on your face…I could hardly recognize. Please don’t mind!
Sister Suzanne:- Arrey, don’t talk among yourselves now. Just run…the music is on.
*************************************************
Sister Suzanne:- Finally, we have got three winners for the musical chair round. 1st is Swarnali, student of our Loreto school. 2nd is Ratnakar, youngest teacher of St.Xaviers school and 3rd is Arindam, student of Saint Sebastian School. Each of you will get a gift voucher worth 50 bucks from ‘Boro Plus’, 2 small pouches of ‘Rasna’, 2 discount coupons of ‘Spredit Margarine’ and 2 ‘Rotomac’ pens whose tagline is ‘Likhtey likhtey love ho jaaye’.
************************************************
Arindam:- Can you give me a plastic packet from any of the counters. I need to keep all these prizes in it.
Swarnali:- Sure! Sure! So, do you have any contacts with Bidisha di or not?
Arindam:- Yeah! She has given me a telephone number of Delhi, but I am yet to make a call in that number. She made a call on my birthday.
Swarnali:- Oho! Thank God; that she has at least called you up on your birthday.
Arindam:- Why not! After all; I am her good friend.
Swarnali:- No, actually, Bidisha di was telling that she has got a new boyfriend in her school. So, besides having a boyfriend, she has taken out some time for you. That’s why; I am saying.
Prakash, Dolui, Tamang, Bhanu & Joseph:- Hey Arindam, it is already 8.45 PM, boss. We must get out of here now; otherwise, we will not get any bus to go to our respective houses in this chilly winter night.
Arindam:- Yeah! Yeah! I am coming. Ok, Swarnali, nice to meet you again. I liked the way you people have conducted the Annual Fest. Good night.
Swarnali:- Thanks, Arindam daa. Good night! See you again.
*********************************************************
Bidisha:- You told him that…hee hee hee…how he reacted?
Swarnali:- He said nothing at all…but was thinking something…he he he…
Bidisha:- Hee hee hee…ok..Ok…Well done…now, it is around 11.05 PM. I need to sleep now. The temperature of Delhi is very low and so chilly. Now, you keep the phone down. Talk to you later, good night, Swarnali.
Swarnali:- Good night, Bidisha di…have sweet dreams of your Kolkata Prince!
Bidisha:- Dhaath…you have become very naughty…go to sleep…bye.
**********************************************************
Basundhara:- Oh! You have come back from school. Just half an hour ago; guess, who made a call at our telephone?
Bidisha:- Who?
Basundhara:- Your friend, Arindam.
Bidisha:- What, really!
Basundhara:- Aah! You can make him a call later on. First, freshen yourself and have some fruits.
Bidisha:- Haath paa porey dhubo…darao…let me make a call. It is 6.30 PM now. He may have reached home from school within 6 PM today. Hello!
Arindam:- Hello, Bidisha! How are you? I called you half an hour back. So, how is life going on?
Bidisha:- Fine! I thought you will never call me on this telephone. Thank God! You made a call.
Arindam:- Yesterday, I met your cousin sister, Swarnali. She was telling that you are having a boyfriend in your school.
Bidisha:- Yeah! Yeah! Ehe! I told Swarnali not to tell about it to anyone. Really, this girl cannot keep any secret in her belly. That boy is very caring and always obeys me. He is not like you. You always fight with me and never listen to any of my request.
Arindam:- Aah! I am your friend and he is your boyfriend. There has to be a difference, naah!
Bidisha:- You are feeling jealous, naah! That’s why; you called me…hee hee hee…it proves something…guess what?
Arindam:- What? Baash…again you are trying to make some double meaning out of it.
Bidisha:- No, I will not tell the answer in this telephonic conversation. I will tell you everything when I will meet you physically in the coming Durga Puja. Be prepared! Take care, bye!
Arindam:- I am not understanding your thrilling statements, now. Anyway, call you back later, bye.

Commentator Chintu:- Saint Sebastian School Team is chasing 134 runs against the Ajmer Association School (ASS). At present, Ganga and Rabi are batting. Saint Sebastian School team is at 103 for 4 after 13 overs. They are in the driving seat. But, out of those 4 wickets of Saint Sebastian School, three of them have been given LBW out. Maybe, the batsmen of Saint Sebastian School are using their legs too much in this match. Oh! In the first ball of the 14th over, the bowler, Todi is appealing for an LBW. The umpire, Jignesh has given him out. This is the 4th LBW decision given by him in this match. I have never seen so many LBW outs in a cricket match played with tennis balls.
*********************************************************
Todi (whispering):- Thank you, Jignesh ji. Rabi was looking aggressive. In 14 balls only, he scored 38 runs. We have rightfully invested 1000 bucks on you.
Jignesh (One of the Umpires of the match):- Don’t whisper so much, otherwise, Lalu ji (One of the Umpires of the match) will doubt on me.
Todi:- Ok, ok.
********************************************************
Commentator Chintu:- Only 10 runs required in 3 overs for the Saint Sebastian School for 3 wickets in hand. Something is going on there. Ajmer Association School is constantly sledging on the boys of Saint Sebastian School. But, now, it has reached an extreme stage, I think!
********************************************************
Agarwal:- Abbey…saala bhetho bangaali…mot**f**k*r….out ho na bey….kitna der tak cho*baye gaa bey…out ho…saala bhetho bangaali…
Ganga:- Yeh…mere ko itna derh tak gaali diya thik hain…par abhi mere maa baap mein mat jaa…saala Marwari mot**ch*d…ga*n* kholkey haat mein de doonga…saala mero…haamara thali mein khaata hain..aur usi ko chedh karta hain…
Kariwala:- Oye! Kya bola bey…mero kisko bola bey…saalaa bhetho bangaali…mero kisko bola…hum Marwari logon ka power dekhe gaa…ukhaar key phek dengey saaley…yeh Bhawanipore mein hum logon ka raaj chalta hain…
Chawla:- Saaley…tera naam kya hai be…Ganga…match ke baad tu nikal issh ground se…haddi pasli ek kar denge…saala chu*ia…
Prakash:- Ganga daa…control yourself…they are trying to spoil the match…we are just 10 runs behind…the match is in our control. Just do the batting.
************************************************************
Commentator Chintu:- Oh! My God! Ganga, the batsman of Saint Sebastian School has banged at the right knee of Agarwal, the wicket-keeper of Ajmer Association School with his bat. Now, Todi, out of rage, has punched on the nose of Ganga. Ganga is bleeding. Blood is coming out from his nose. Agarwal is lying on the ground by holding his right knee. The boys of Saint Sebastian School who were sitting on the benches are running in and now they have started kicking and punching on the boys of Ajmer Association School. Oh! It is a chaos here. Now, the members of the Eastern Park Associates’ Club (EPAC) are also running in to control the situation. I also need to go and stop those fighting. Signing off for now; see you next time.
***********************************************************
Mr. Joardar:- Very interesting case, indeed! They were playing a game of rugby in the name of cricket. The father of Ganganarayan Ganguly, that is, Mr. Gobardhan Ganguly has lodged an FIR against Arjun Agarwal; and the father of Arjun Agarwal, that is, Mr. Agnivesh Agarwal has lodged an FIR against Ganganarayan Ganguly. In this case, both Ganga and Arjun are culprits. But, as per the legal acts, whenever an FIR is lodged under certain sections, you have to give some bailout amount for that. In this case, the bailout amount is 5000 bucks each. Their parents have pointed fingers at your club for not taking enough precautions about these types of situations.
Mr. Sarbeswar Sarbadhikary (President of Eastern Park Associates’ Club):- See, as the final match got abandoned, so, the winning amount that was allotted for the champion team (5000 bucks) and the runners-up team (3000 bucks) gets equally distributed (4000 bucks each) to both the teams as joint winners of the tournament. The amount is 4000 bucks each. We will hand over that money to you only as a bailout. The rest 1000 bucks for each head should be given by their respective parents only.
Mr. Joardar:- Ok, done! Give the money by 5 PM today because both Ganga and Arjun will get released from Shambhunath Pandit Hospital at 5 PM. Both of them have been plastered; one at his nose and other at his right leg.
*************************************************************
Bhanu:- Guys! Listen to me! Just now, Mr. Roland wants all the players of the Saint Sebastian School Team who played cricket with tennis ball in the Eastern Park the day before yesterday, to assemble in the auditorium hall.
************************************************************
Mr. Roland:- Let me first introduce you the eminent Principal of Ajmer Association School, Mr. Gajanan Ganjawala and of course, you know those boys, right, with whom you had a fight.
Students of Saint Sebastian School Team:- Yes, Sir!
Mr. Roland:- Now, Mr. Ganjawala will like to tell you something.
Mr. Ganjawala:- Students! I am really shocked to hear the news that racism has dominated on your minds rather than the sportsman spirit of a game like cricket. Sledging is there in Cricket. Even great legends have become victims of sledging, but that does not mean that you will react to it violently. Cricket is next to religion in India, right. Then, why, you such school students fought amongst each other in the cricket field in the name of Bengalis and Marwaris. We are Indians, first.
Ganga:- Sir, you should first teach all these things to your school students. They started the act of racism first.
Mr. Ganjawala:- Ha ha ha…Just half an hour ago, I caned each of them for ten times with my stick. They are still feeling the pain in their ass while standing here. Maybe, you people are lucky that you have got a nice Principal like Mr. Roland.
Mr. Roland:- Ok, Sir! Let us not complicate things out here. We want each boys of Saint Sebastian School team to apologize to the boys of Ajmer Association School and hug each of them. The same request follows for the Ajmer Association School Boys too.
Ganga:- I am sorry, boss! I lost my temper. I will never do it again. Let us be friends.
Agarwal:- I am sorry too.
Todi:- Me too…gussey mein tere ko punch kar diya tha…maaf kar dey yaar…aaja gale toh mil…
Mr. Ganjawala:- That’s it! They have realized their mistakes! See! Mr. Roland, from now on, students of Saint Sebastian School and Ajmer Association School will not fight amongst each other.
Mr. Roland:- Thank you, Mr. Ganjawala. Thanks for taking such a great initiative. You are a better Principal than I am. I must appreciate that.
Mr. Ganjawala:- Arrey, nahi nahi…kya hota hain naa….yeh sab bacchey log jab apas mein lartey hain…violent aur aggressive ho jaata hain…mere se dekha nahi jaata hain…I was also a violent boy in my school days and I lost many things in my life for that bad nature. Had someone taught me of love and non-violence at that point, I would have become a nice person at my young age only. After losing my father in a heart-attack, I realized my mistakes and about my rough selfish behavior.
Mr. Roland:- I am not getting the entire picture of your life, but still can have a rough idea about your emotions. Anyway, thanks once again for visiting our school. See you again.
Mr. Ganjawala:- Yeah, bye for now.
***************************************************************
Ganga:- In the hospital, they were using some other antiseptic lotion other than ‘Dettol’. It was not paining at all.
Arindam:- Oho! They used ‘Savlon’…koi jwalan nahi hota hain…Have you not seen that ad of ‘Savlon’? The big fat man was pretending as if it will pain so much, but, later realized that the anti-septic cream is ‘Savlon’, which heals the wounds without giving any pain.
Tamang:- Hey guys! Have you read the newspaper today? Already 85,000 tickets have been sold for the coming derby match between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. It is Amol Dutta Vs P.K. Banerjee.
Raja:- Arrey, these two coaches are having war of words and the derby match is getting its publicity.
Mainak:- The hype is because of the Diamond System of Amol Dutta…Either he will apply 4-1-2-1-2 or 1-2-4-2-1.
Nonigopal:- Dhaath teri ki! Was there any flaw in our traditional Pyaramid (4-3-2-1) or Christmas tree (3-4-2-1) formation?
Joseph:- We don’t know all these things. We are going to witness the match live and exclusive from the galleries of Saltlake Stadium. That’s all! All East Bengal supporters of this class should contact me if they want to buy tickets from me.
*************************************************************
Joseph, Sajal, Tamang, Mainak and other East Bengal supporters (Shouting with joy):- Bhaichung! Bhaichung! 4 goal e tey jitlo kaara…East Bengal abar kaara?
Ganga, Arindam, Nonigopal, Raja and other Mohun Bagan supporters (Criticizing Amol Dutta):- Satyi maairi…weak defense line up…still he took the gamble of implementing the Diamond system.
Joseph:- Orrey…if you cannot dance, you will blame the dance floor…first you tell us, whether, the Mohun Bagan team has a terrific striker like Bhaichung Bhutia.
Nonigopal:- Exactly! That Bhaichung Bhutia made the real difference for us. Otherwise, the diamond system was not so bad. Very soon, other football club coaches will follow the footsteps of Amol Dutta. In the next derby match, Mohun Bagan will target to give 5 goals to East Bengal.
Sajal:- In your sweet dreams only! Ha ha ha…
Ganga:- Ok, we will see. Accha, you people have won the match. You people should give us a treat.
Mainak:- What treat! No, no, we will give no treat.
Arindam:- Ganga daa…you are expecting treats from those bangaals…saala gulo haar kiptey…(great misers)…Anyway, let us board any of the matadors, lorries or tempos of our Mohun Bagan supporters to go back home now. Aschey derby tey oder ke dekhiye debo…kato dhaaney kato chaal…
