Sajal:- Uff…finally, our Half –Yearly Exam has ended and that too on this day of Maha Shasti. Hey, Raja, you must have done all the sums correct today?
Raja:- No, no…today’s Maths paper was not so easy. Some of the sums looked easy but they were actually very tricky in nature. I left out 2 sums carrying 5 marks each.
Sajal:- Which sums?
Raja:- One was; ‘Find the ratio in which the line 3x+y-9=0 divides the line segment joining the points (1,3) and (2,7) and other one was; ‘A works twice as fast as B, while worker C is 60% more efficient than B. C starts the work. A and B join C on alternate days, starting with A. In this process, the work is completed in 60 days. In how many days can A complete the work?’
Sajal:- Oh! I also left out those two sums. Accha, there was another sum which I could not solve. The sum was; ‘If a, b, c and d are positive real numbers, then find the minimum possible values of (a + b + c + d) * (1/a + 1/b +1/c + 1/d).’
Raja:- Oh! That was an important sum of inequality chapter. Mukherjee madam solved it in our Additional Maths Class once. You have to apply the logic of Arithmetic Mean greater than equal to Harmonic Mean.
Sajal:- Babah! It is so tough. Accha, what about this sum; ‘A dishonest shopkeeper deceives the seller and buyer in two stages. When he buys he manages to buy 40% more and when he sells he again manages to deceive a customer by giving 25% less article to the customer. If he sold the article at 15% less than the cost price, find the profit/loss that the shopkeeper made during the process.’
Raja:- I attempted that sum but not sure whether I have done it correctly or not. It was also a tricky sum.
Sajal:- This Half –Yearly exam was tough. Earlier, we gave a tough Half-Yearly Exam in Class VI.
Raja:- This exam was more tougher.
Sajal:- You are going home now. What will you do by going home so early? We all have planned to play a cricket match in Eastern Park and then we will go and visit some Durga puja pandals in and around our school area. Jatoi hok…aaj mahashasti bole katha…kono bachor toh school area teh ese durga thakur dekha hoyna…
Raja:- Ok, then I will also play the cricket match in Eastern Park. It is just 2.15 PM now.

Bidisha:- Hello! Arindam!
Arindam:- Hello! Arrey! Bidisha naaki!
Bidisha:- Haan re…Subho Saptami. I am in Kolkata now. Are you having any program today?
Arindam:- Today, there is a program! Kaal toh Maha Astami. Tomorrow, you must be coming to Maddox Square.
Bidisha:- Yeah! Of course! When are you coming there tomorrow?
Arindam:- Se toh ekhonee boltey parbo naa…ei dhar…at around 7.30 PM.
Bidisha:- Ok! Done! I will be there at that time in front of the big ‘Thumbs –Up’ bottle on the right side of the pandal.
Arindam:- Big ‘Thumbs-Up’ bottle!
Bidisha:- Oho! There is an advertisement banner of ‘Thumbs-Up’ inside the Maddox Square. When you come there, you will get to know. See you tomorrow; bye.
Arindam:- Yeah! Yeah! Bye!
***************************************************************
Deepak:- This is my 2nd time. I can assure you that nothing will happen.
Chinmoy:- Well; it is our first time. We don’t know also what happens after taking it inside.
Deepak:- Vodka is actually a girl’s drink. In Russia, women drink more vodka than drinking water. Today, we are going to drink ‘White Mischief’ with ‘Fanta’ cold drinks. You will feel as if you are drinking an orange juice. Just relax and enjoy drinking it. I will prepare small pegs for you all. We are total 6 persons out here. Each peg will have 30 ml vodka and in all total, I will make 12 pegs. After making 12 pegs, if any extra amount of vodka remains inside the bottle, I will consume that. Don’t worry. Matro 2 peg khaabi…tar janyo toder eto tension.
Nonigopal:- I really liked your terrace. It is a very small terrace in between two big buildings. At evening time, it is great place for drinking parties.
Deepak:- Where is Ganga daa, boss! He is running late now. It is already 6.30 PM now.
Arindam:- arrey babah…today, it is Maha Saptami. There are too many customers in front of every food shop. We could have bought Chicken Biriyani and Chilli Chicken instead of those spring rolls and mutton kabab.
Deepak:- Biriyani! No, never! Always avoid any food items of rice when you drink alcohol, otherwise, you may be in trouble. Always eat Roti or Paratha while drinking alcohol.
Joseph:- Babah! This rule is written in which book.
Deepak:- This is one of the thumb rules of drunkards. I just said you that.
Ganga:- Ei…ami ese gechi…peg banaa..Peg…I am very excited today to drink alcohol for the first time in my life.
Deepak:- Ok! Ok! Give me those plastic glasses first. We were waiting for you only with the bottle of alcohol and cold drinks.
Nonigopal:- Deepak! Use more ‘Fanta’ to make my first peg.
Deepak:- arrey, kichu hobe naa…don’t worry! Guys! Now, our peg is ready. Lift up your glass. Now, everybody should touch their glass with the glasses of other drinkers and say ‘Cheers’.
Arindam:- Cheers! Everybody…cheers.
Ganga:- Cheers…cheers….
Deepak:- Ehe…you people don’t know the norms of drinking alcohol. Except Nonigopal, all of you kept your glasses on the terrace. After saying ‘Cheers’, you have to take a sip of the alcohol and then you can keep your glass anywhere.
Nonigopal:- Oho! I was not aware of this norm, though, I took the sip.
Chinmoy:- This drink tastes like ‘Fanta’ cold drinks only. Nothing is happening.
Deepak:- Ei…Chinmoy…don’t get carried away…This is Vodka. It takes time to kick up, but, once, it kicks up, it does not come down so easily. Don’t get carried away and don’t drink too fast. Slow down.
Joseph:- Let us now have those spring rolls and mutton kababs.
*************************************************************
Arindam:- Aah! There is a nice cool breeze out here in this terrace.
Ganga:- The sky is cloudy now. It may rain anytime. But, yes, due to this cool breeze, we are feeling good. This is very sexy evening, I must say. Three cheers for Deepak. What a peg…what a vodka.
Deepak:- Thanks Ganga daa…Oh! I am honored.
Nonigopal:- Bhai Deepak…though I am not an astrologer, but, still, I can predict about your career. One day, you will become the No.1 bartender of the world.
Joseph:- Yesssss…I fully agree with Nonigopal…one day…you…my brother…Deepak…you will be a great bartender. My glass is empty now.
Deepak:- Don’t worry; ‘White Mischief’ is not over yet. Give me your glass. Let me make another small peg for you.
Chinmoy:- How they prepare this type of drink? I mean; what is the content of this drink?
Deepak:- I also don’t know! Maybe, from potatoes! Joseph, here’s your glass.
Joseph:- Aah! Thanks, Deepak! ‘Choo lene doh…inh najuk hoton ko…kuch aur nahi…jam hain yeh…choo lene doh na inh najook hoton ko’
Ganga:- Ei sabbash…nowadays, you have become a fan of Rafi or what! Raqeeb will be very happy to hear about that.
Arindam:- Kano boss…amader Kishore ki dosh karlo? ‘Nadiya se dariya…dariya se sagar…sagar se gehera jaam…oho ho…jaam mein dub gayi hain yaaron jeevan ki har shaaam….’
Deepak:- ‘Jabse humne peena sikha…jeena sikha yaar…’
Nonigopal:- Ei jeh babajibon…bangla teh firey eso…bangla teh…’Ei toh jibon…jaak jedike jete chay praan…beyaara…chalao foyaara…’
Arindam:- Ei…I have spotted one hot boudi in that terrace. Look there.
Ganga:- Haan bey…look there…that woman is very hot…
Deepak:- Ye Ram! You people have not seen that boudi in daylight. That married woman is fatty, dark-skinned and looks like Ravan’s wife, Mandodari.
Chinmoy:- Hey, Deepak! Have you ever seen a Mandodari? Uuh!
Deepak:- Ok! Ok! Not Mandodari…She looks like Hirimba.
Arindam:- Who was Hirimba?
Joseph:- Arrey! Forget about those historical characters. Just concentrate on the present character on that terrace. Uuh! She has lovely body. What a bulge! What a cleavage! She is a very sexy boudi.
Deepak:- Don’t stare at her like that. Her hubby is a traffic police. In any case, she is not at all a good-looking lady. At this moment, you all liked her because it is the Vodka effect and nothing else. Saala toder sab kotaar chorey gachey…that’s why; you are treating a coal as a diamond. All those who have a girlfriend should not look at married women.
Arindam:- Here, only Ganga daa has a girlfriend. Ganga daa…you should not look at that Black Boudi.
Ganga:- Tor nei naaki? Guys, listen to me! Do you people remember Bidisha who left our school in Class VIII?
Nonigopal:- Yeah! Yeah! We remember! Why! What happened?
Ganga:- Tomorrow! Arindam is going to meet Bidisha at Maddox Square.
Deepak:- Ok! The more you sink in the ocean as a diver, the more you enjoy the oceanic beauty.
Arindam:- She is just my friend. She is friend of you people also.
Chinmoy:- But, she has never called us to meet her. She has called you only. It proves that she does not regard you as your friend only, something beyond that…Ok! We will go to Maddox Square tomorrow to meet Bidisha. Do you have any problem in that? I hope that you will not feel jealous about that! At what time is she coming there?
Arindam:- That I don’t know; but, I will go there at around 7.30 PM. But, you people may do a small drama with her.
Nonigopal:- Accha! Kaal ker katha kaal ache…What’s our plan now?
Joseph:- The pandal of ‘Suruchi Sangha’ have won ‘Asian Paints’ award for the best Durga Puja theme this year. They have done a theme on Global Warming this year. Where is this ‘Suruchi Sangha’?
Ganga:- It is in New Alipore. ‘Durgapurer Math’ chinish toh? That playground under the Durgapur Bridge of New Alipore! Just beside that playground, there is the ‘Suruchi Sangha’. There is a Bus Depot of Bus Number ‘3B’ also.
Deepak:- Already, it is 9.25 PM now. There is no point in going to ‘Suruchi Sangha’ and stand in a long queue for 2-3 hours. Maddox Square is a 5 minute walk from here. We will go there and watch some hot chicks. Then around, 10.30 PM, we will have dinner in a restaurant. After that; we will go back home.
Arindam:- Yeah! Yeah! That’s a nice activity plan. Let us go to Maddox Square now to enjoy fashion show.
************************************************************
Chinmoy:- Hi..Bidisha!
Bidisha:- Hi…Arrey…you all are here in this Maddox Square. Hi, Ganga daa, Nonigopal, Joseph, Deepak…all of you are here…jaak bhaloi holo…sobaar sathe dekha hoye galo…
Nonigopal:- Today is Maha Astami, naah! Everyone visit Maddox Square on this day. That makes Maha Astami very special for us.
Bidisha:- Ganga daa…where is your girlfriend, Anjana? Niye asoni aajker…
Ganga:- No, both me and Bidisha were sitting here in Maddox Square since 4.30 PM. She just went back home half an hour ago.
Bidisha:- Ok, meet my friends from our locality. She is Rita; she is Namita; she is Poushali…and she is my cousin sister, Swarnali.
Deepak:- Ok! Nice to meet all your friends, Bidisha!
Joseph:- Ok! You all enjoy yourselves. We will see you again, later.
Bidisha:- Accha! Now it is already 8.15 PM. Where is Arindam?
Nonigopal:- Arindam! We also don’t know. He told us that he has an appointment with someone today, so, he cannot join us in Maddox Square. Ganga da, has Arindam told you anything?
Ganga:- Oh! Don’t talk to me about him. He has become a playboy nowadays. Who knows; maybe; he is roaming with that girl to see the puja pandals
Bidisha:- Which girl?
Chinmoy:- There is one girl from Bidya Bharati school who studies in our ‘Superstars’ coaching center. Recently, you know; something is going on between Arindam and her.
Bidisha:- Impossible! Arindam told me that he will meet me at 7.30 PM at Maddox Square. I am waiting for him. He can’t do like that to me. I am waiting for him…and he is…
Ganga (whispering):- And he is hiding behind that balloon stall and watching our drama. We don’t know how much that idiot, Arindam loves you, but you do love him too much!
************************************************************
Arindam:- So, what was she saying about me?
Nonigopal:- Nothing at all. Actually, we were wrong! She does not love you. Maybe; she is having a boyfriend in New Delhi. She told us that she is not at all waiting for you. She is just having a gala adda session there with her friends. Maybe, at around 9 PM, they will start moving out of the Maddox Square.
Chinmoy:- Save your prestige, man! You are already 1 hour late. You gave her time at 7.30 PM and now it is almost 8.30 PM. Go now! Kaalker ki plan…seta kaal sokaale phone kore toke janiye debo…
**************************************************************
Bidisha:- What’s the time now? By the way; who is that girl in your coaching center, with whom you are having an affair?
Arindam:- There are so many girls in our ‘Superstars’ coaching center. You are asking about whom? By the way; what is name of your boyfriend in New Delhi?
Bidisha:- Anyway; whatever it is! We should not discuss about these things. I wanted to meet you; that’s all.
Arindam:- So, what’s your plan tonight. Whole night roaming at the puja pandals! Oh! You have not introduced your friends. Arrey! Swarnali, you are also here. Nice to see you again!
Swarnali:- Ki…Arindam daa…kamon acho?
Arindam:- Don’t call me Arindam daa all the time. You are just 8 months younger than me.
Swarnali:- She is Rita and she is Namita.
Poushali:- Hi…I am Poushali.
Arindam:- Hi everybody…So, Bidisha, it is too hot and stuffy inside this Maddox Square. We can have some ice-creams and talk with each other while sitting here.
Bidisha:- Idiot! Are you seeing any ice cream stall here and there? It is not your Police Line Training Field where you will get those special ‘Coolfi’ ice-creams. From here, we will go to Mudiali Park, Shiv Mandir and after that you will have dinner in our house tonight. My mom has invited you. After having dinner, we will again visit different puja pandals. So, it is a ‘whole night puja parikrama’ program tonight.
Arindam:- You people want to visit the puja pandals of Mudiali and Shiv Mandir now. It is 9.05 PM now. You cannot enter inside the puja pandal before 10.30 PM, if you stand in the queue now. Sorry; I am not coming to view those puja pandals. It is better to have some adda sessions in Maddox Square rather than visiting puja pandals in this humid weather.
Bidisha:- Yeah! I was also thinking the same. Ei..Swarnali…You people proceed towards Mudiali now. We want to spend some time here. At around 1 AM or so, we may meet you all at ‘Ekdalia Evergreen’ puja pandal.
Swarnali:- Ok! As you wish! Enjoy yourself! Bye, Arindam.
Arindam:- Bye to all. Come on, Bidisha; there are some newspapers lying on the grass. Let us sit there.
Bidisha:- I am seeing you after a long time, but, you have not changed a bit also. Am I looking changed than before?
Arindam:- You have become fairer than before. You are looking beautiful and attractive tonight. Your boyfriend of New Delhi is very lucky.
Bidisha:- Abaar faltu katha…then, your girlfriend from Bidya Bharati is also very lucky. What was the point in doing drama with me? You told your friends to do drama in front of me. I was waiting eagerly here to meet you. Even, I called up your mom from a telephone booth nearby at around 8 PM. Arundhati kakima said, ‘Arindam has gone to Maddox Square to meet you only.’
Arindam:- Oh! Mom! My mom always tells the truth. That’s the problem…he he he…Frankly speaking, Bidisha, I have no girlfriend, but, you really have one in New Delhi. Swarnali told me about that when I met her at their school fest.
Bidisha:- That was also a drama. I have no boyfriend. Tell me one thing, Arindam. When I left this school, did you miss me?
Arindam:- No, no, never.
Bidisha:- Again, you are telling a lie.
Arindam:- Yeah! I missed a friend who used to quarrel with me.
Bidisha:- Hee hee hee…oh! Really!
Arindam:- Oh! Your sweet smile will kill me one day.
Bidisha:- Come on; let us go home.
Arindam:- Oh! At your house! Ok!
*****************************************************************
Arindam:- Your dad has bought a new 3 BHK flat. You never told me about that! What about that house where you used to live? Your dad sold it?
Bidisha:- Yeah! After selling that house, he got some money. He bought this flat with that money only. The location of Lake Place area is better than Kasba area.
Arindam:- Arrey! Your own house is your own house and a flat is a flat.
Bidisha:- Try to understand, Arindam. We don’t live in Kolkata now. Who will look after our house! At least, in a flat, there is a security, because Security Guard will always monitor it.
Arindam:- Your flat is in the 5th floor of this apartment and there is no lift in this building, strange!
Bidisha:- No, no, lift is there on the right side of the building, but it is not working since today morning.
Arindam:- Anyway, we have reached the 5th floor and your dad’s flat. Let me press the bell.
Bidisha:- Wait! I have the keys. Let me open the door.
Arindam:- What! No one is there inside or what! Where is Basundhara aunty?
Bidisha:- Today is Maha Astami. Both my parents have gone to Durgabari for Astami Puja. Don’t worry; now it is 9.35 PM. They will come back by 10.30 PM. They will bring some lovely foods from a restaurant along with the ‘Astami Bhog’. So, all in all; we will have a good dinner tonight. Come on! Why are you staring at me like that! Get inside our flat.
Arindam:- What will I do inside your flat? It is so boring. It would have been better to go to the Mudiali Puja Pandal.
Bidisha:- Just close the door and sit here beside me.
Arindam:- This is a nice flat. Well-furnished and beautifully decorated too.
Bidisha:- It is a very sexy flat! Isn’t it Arindam! Inside the room, there is no one else; only you and me! Now, hold my hand tightly. I will ask you some questions. If you tell lie, then something bad will happen to me.
Arindam:- I don’t believe in these superstitions. I will not answer anything while touching your hand.
Bidisha:- That means; you believe in superstitions.
Arindam:- Ok! Ask what you want to ask! I am touching your hand now.
Bidisha:- Do you love me?
Arindam:- hmmm…yeah! Yes!
Bidisha:- Am I hot and sexy?
Arindam:- No, no, that answer I don’t know.
Bidisha:- No, you can’t run away from the field. You have to play the game. Touch my hand and answer the question.
Arindam:- Yeah! You have become very hot and sexy nowadays. I am impressed by seeing you in this sky colored salwar-kameez today. Your long hair is attracting me.
Bidisha (Hugging Arindam tightly all of a sudden):- Oh! Arindam! My baby! Mmmuaah! I love you.
Arindam (Got carried away):- I love you too. Mmmuah….Dhaath teri…the make-up powder on your cheek…Just wash your face, otherwise, after kissing you on your cheek, I may have infections on my lips.
Bidisha:- Uuh! At least, I am far better than a sex worker. Isn’t it so, Arindam?
Arindam:- What!
Bidisha:- You and your friends visited a Red Light Area! I know that.
Arindam:- Who told you these things? These are not true!
Bidisha:- Walls also have ears, dear. Don’t tell lie now.
Arindam:- Ganga daa must have told you about it.
Bidisha:- No, I heard it from a girl of your school. It proves that almost all your classmates have got the information that you people have enjoyed sex workers. Am I not far better than a prostitute? You can satisfy those bloody bitches, why not me? Both of us love each other. Do it tonight, Arindam.
Arindam:- Protected or unprotected?
Bidisha:- I don’t care about it. I just need….
Arindam:- Don’t worry; I have a ‘Kamasutra’ in my wallet to enjoy kamasutra actions on you…
************************************************************
Bidisha:- aah! Ummm….ooooh…aro jorey…vibrate it hard…don’t spare me…uff….aah…oh! That’s awesome, dear. I will never forget my first night first show of sexual intercourse. You have really mastered the art of arousing sex of a woman.
Arindam:- Experience always counts! Had I not visited that Red Light Area; tonight, you could have had a nightmare with me. Ok! Get up, sexy sweetheart! Let me go to the washroom and clean it up. Have you enjoyed my vibrating strokes, dear!
Bidisha:- Very much, dear! I wish; I could have stayed in Kolkata. Hey, it is 10.35 PM now. Anytime, my mom and dad can arrive here. Clean yourself up quickly. Go to the washroom. Let me put on the play-station of video games.
************************************************************
Arindam:- Ei, the bell is ringing. Open the door.
Bidisha:- Yeah!
Basundhara:- Ki re…tora katokhon agey esechish?
Bidisha:- Just 10-15 minutes back. We are playing video games now. I am winning. Please don’t disturb, mom.
Benudhar:- Arrey! Arindam jeh…bhalo achish…arey thak thak…oto pronam korte hobe naa…
Basundhara:- Subho Maha Astami, Arindam. Take these prasads. How is your study going on?
Arindam:- Fine, aunty!
Basundhara:- Study hard, dear! Unless you come out with good results nowadays in Madhyamik Exam, it is very tough to get admission for Science Stream in Higher Secondary.
Bidisha:- Oh! Mom! Again, you have started giving lectures about studies and exams and that too on this Maha Astami. We are hungry now.
Benudhar:- Come to the dining table. We have the packed foods of Hindustani Dhaba. After having dinner, we will go for Puja Parikrama. That’s a whole night program. We will start from Mohammedally Park in the North. Don’t worry; I have the special pass for it.
