Madam, aapka asptaal aa gaya.
Shukriya.
Aur sabse zaroori cheez, khoon.
Har tarah ka khoon.
Kitna bhola banta hai.
Khoon.
Khoon ka rishta.
Barah baj chuke hain, uthoge nahi kya?
Bahut der ho gayi hai, ab seedhe lunch karna.
ROY NIWAS
Chhodo.
Unse tum kuch seekhne wale toh ho nahi.
Ruko!
Isae chalate rehna. Jal na jaye.
Adu, mera dost.
Jab tum Class 2 mein thae, Babu Shona.
Half pant mein. Side mein baal karke pyare lagte thae.
Aur ab dekho, ghonsle jaise baal ho gaye hain!
Ladki ka naam Mithila hai.
Bahut sundar hai na?
Par, Baba… Clinic?
Maine tumhari phoolon wali shirt nikal kar rakh di hai.
Yeh ladki pasand karne jaa raha hai, kya khud apne kapde nahi pasand kar sakta?
Maine kapde pasand kar diye toh kya dikkat hai?
Bhagwan jaane yeh kya chunta!
Kahan?
Aaj toh tum jaldi uth gaye, Babu Shona.
Kal raat ko tum wapas kab aaye?
Subaj ke 2:45 baje.
-Usne kya pehna tha? -Sari.
-Photo dikha. -Photo lena toh main bhool gaya.
Kaisi baat kar rahe ho!
Dikhao toh. Akhbaar mein hai kya?
Haan, yeh Mithila hai.
Par sari?
Lekin yeh toh tum nahi ho, Babu Shona.
Yeh ladka kaun hai?
Kalpana nahi. Ekdum sach hai.
Hawa ki tarah.
Kya tum hawa dekh sakte ho?
Hawa? Kahan hai?
Abhi nahi…
bas raat ko.
Jab tum sote ho, tab woh bahar aate hain.
Kyonki suraj ki kiranein
unki twacho ko choo lein…
Unki twacha…
Unki twacha bahut naazuk hoti ha…
Pighalte hue mome si naazuk.
Humein police station wali koi kahani sunaiye na, boodhe dadu.
Boodha kise bola?
Woh…
Woh kabhi boodhe nahi hote.
Jaise hi woh convert hote hai, unke liye samay ruk jaata hai.
Samay tham jata hai
ek moorti ki tarah.
Aur woh khoon peete hain.
Subah,
shaam,
har waqt.
Par meri baat khatam nahi hui.
Unki kahaniyan…
Uma kahan hai?
Pal ko iss par laga deejiye.
Bahut maza aayega.
Yeh mat sochna ki maine dekha nahi ki tum 11:30 baje aaram se aaye ho.
Kal bhi saari raat pi rahe thae kya?
Bahut ho gayi masti, kaam par lago.
Woh sach mein hain
Hey, tum. Tumhara naam kya hai?
Amar, zara sabki ginti karo.
Ek, doh, teen, chaar…
Aath, nau, das…
Woh kaun hai?
Jo peeche khadi hai.
Yahan aao.
Paas aao.
Aur paas aao.
Thoda aur paas aao.
Yeh hui na baat.
Ek kadam aur?
Aur tum jalo mat.
Toh main kya bol raha tha?
Arey, David. Bakwas mat karo.
Yeh sach hai.
David, tum bahut badmash ho!
Theek hai, iss baar tumhari baat maan leta hoon,
Theek hai.
Arey, bahut der ho gayi!
Kya aap Bengali ho?
Meri Bengali zara tooti-phooti hai.
Woh kya hota hai?
