HKW Eaves dropping..

I had to move the words around a little because I wasn’t fast enough to write down word for word.

Address: 101A SFS colony, Yelahanka new town.

It’s late in the evening. The room is pretty dull, the room smells of cooking oil and burned parathas, the only source of light is a tubelight. The room is empty except for a girl in her skyblue Pyjamas, sitting at the dinning table, she is eating.

“Hi!” Says the girl who just entered the room, who obviously just had a bath and her hair is yet to dry off. She’s wearing an exaggerated blue T-shirt, and a boring grey jogging pant.

“Hi! How are you?”

“I’m good. How are you?”

“I have a headache (laughs); hangover.”

“Oh the party....” A faint smirk appears on the face of the girl in the exaggerated blue T-shirt.

“Yes, the party (laugh).... Have you done it?”

“No yaa, can I do it tomorrow?”

“I really need you to be done by the 10^th”

“I should be done by then, I’ll do it tomorrow”

“Okay, you let me know when it’s done”

“Sure! What’s for dinner?”

“Chicken Biryani and some sweet dish, it’s pretty awful, as always....”

“Bhaya vegetarian mein kyaa hein??” inquires the girl in the exaggerated blue T-shirt.“Bhaya?” She goes into the kitchen with an empty plate, which she had picked up from the cheap plywood table where they keep the utensils. The plate is full when she comes out of the kitchen. She sits next to the other girl, pauses, look at her friends’ food, and then hers. She walks to the table where they keep the utensils, picks up a spoon, and comes back to the dining table.

“So how was the vacation?”

“It was good, I had so much fun. But it was freezing cold, thank God for heaters. But I still love Delhi.” Blurts the girl in the exaggerated blue T-shirt.

“I like Bombay more! I mean Delhi is a nice place and all but the weather just sucks: when it’s hot, it’s too hot, when it’s cold, it’s too cold. Bombay even has beaches”(laughs)

“Yeah I guess. So listen, about your thing, what is it that you want me to do?”

“Are yaar... Kuch bhi chalega, just do whatever you want to do with it. But make sure it’s done by the 10^th”

“Yeah I’ll do that.” With a sudden tone of excitement, the girl in the exaggerated blue T-shirt says. “Have you seen Sherlock Holmes? I watched it yesterday, and I loved it”

“I saw it like about a week ago; I thought it was pretty ok.”

“I loved the part where he plans and explain the fight sequences even before the fight starts.”

Meanwhile a bunch of people has just walked in, and they are queuing up towards the table where they keep the utensils and the food.

“Yeah that was pretty cool, but he didn’t do that for the final fights.”

“I love Robert Downey Jr. I’ve watched everyone of his movies. I loved loved loved Tropic thunder... it was hilarious, Ironman was also amazing. Oh and he can even sings, he has a grrr...rreat voice”

“Yeah he’s pretty talented. I love Jude Law.”

“OOOOooooohhhh... I love ‘A series of unfortunate events’, I must have watched it like a thousand times already.”

“Yeah that movie was good. I loved the...” The phone rings, the girl looks at the phone.” It’s my mom.” “Hi mummy... Haa... Nahi mila... toh... Haa Haa... Kab bheja tha?? Toh kal pahonge jani chahiye... Acha mummy mein abhi gharpe nahi hoon, Ghar pahongene par call back karoongi... Mess mein Khana kha rahi hoon... Haahaa... okay... bye!” She hangs up the phone.

“Okay I really have to go now; I have some assignments to do.”

“Okay.”

The girl stands up, drops the empty plate into the bin, and washes her hands.

“So I’ll call you later.”

“Okay”

The girl exits. Meanwhile another group of people have walked in and the room is quickly turning into a public space, which is what it's supposed to, and the noises are getting louder. The room is filling up with words of greetings, word such as ‘Hi’, ‘Hello’, ‘Wassup!!’ etc. And the girl in the exaggerated blue T-shirt and the boring jogging pants is still sitting there.
