Sandip thinking about what Bauji had told him � of persuading Arjun to stay for not less than 6 months in India� and then about what Arjun asked him to do� to prepare the Passport and Visa so that he would take Bauji to America ASAP. Sandip walks into his verandah and sees Urmi rushing inside her house. He goes inside and calls her. He asks her why she hasn't slept yet. Urmi says that she gets reminded of the doctor. Sandip, preoccupied, tells her that she is not the only person he has to think about. On asking, Urmi comes to know about Arjun's decision. She says that this had to happen one day becoz Arjun Bhaiya is obviously missing him and he wants him to stay in front of his eyes. Next morning- Sandip gets Jugle to take pictures of Bauji. He asks Jugle to take some straight faced pics of Bauji for the passport. Bauji is not able to understand why his passport is being renewed. He thinks Sandip's first priority shud be the welcome planning, after all Arjun might to coming any moment from then. Sandip tells him that he'll be coming the next day. When asked how he knew he feigns that he knew that International flights come at night or early in the morning. About the passport pics, Sandip says that if his passport is renewed then he could go to America with his son. Bauji says that he will live and die in Colonel Gunj and he is never going to go anywhere else. Sandip looks at him stunned and poignant.Confused At night- Jugle is cutting the passport pics carefully when his mom gets milk for him (she calls milk 'duddu' LOL). He tells her that he is doing some important work and he cant hva the milk then. She gets angry and complains to Sukha Singh, Jugle's dad. He comes and scolds him. Jugle tells him that he is doing this for Sandip. Sukha goes to Sandip to see whether his son was telling the truth. Sandip confirms and tells Sukha about Arjun's decision. Sukha tells him to inform Bauji about it but Sandip says that he wont since the happiness they saw in Bauji's face would vanish if he comes to know this. Next morning � Arjun's car enters Colonel Gunj and everybody come out of their house to welcome the foreign return son of their beloved Panditji. Everybody give him a warm welcome. The 4 deewane are also there Wink(if u don't remember� then see my last week's update). Arjun comments that they have grown so big after 12 years LOL. Bauji comes out of his house (Urmi had helped him to come out). He hugs his son and is very happy to see his daughter in law, Angelica and granddaughter, Anna (Anya� something like that� the little girl wasn't talking clearlyConfused). Sandip, (he has a tendency to arrive pretty late for these kind of things, yaar Wink) hugs Arjun. Arjun is just going to ask him about the passport and visa when Sandip tells him that he needs to be properly welcomed first. So Arjun and Angelica are taken to the house where they are welcomed in complete Indian style. she is first given a red chunri to keep on the head then aarti is done and then the kalash is kept in front of her. Arjun tells her to kick the kalash. As she bends her leg backwards, Arjun stops her and says "u have to gently push it over" LOLLOL. As they enter they pay homage to Arjun's mom. Then Angelica is taken inside where she finds sari and jewellery arranged on the bed. The girls (including Urmi) tell her that she will be married again. She is so excited about everything. In the temple the boys (matlab.. the deewaneLOL) are arranging the final nitties and gritties of the marriage preparations when Sandip enters with Arjun. Arjun tells Sandip that becoz he never liked the Indian style of wedding, that's why he got married in America. Sandip tells him that the Colonel Gunj ppl don't consider a marriage complete until they've eaten in their marriage, so he has to bear with this coz this concerns the sentiments of the locality ppl and more prominently his dad. Bauji, as he is also the Pandit sits down on the pandit's place and starts chatting the mantras. Angelica excitedly discusses with Arjun about all the rituals of an Indian marriage. Ppl around stand there amused and joyful. Urmi is sitting opposite the couple and staring at Sandip trying to catch his eye. Sandip is least interested (of course Cool). While the mantras are going on Arjun says that everybody in America are complaining that was no Indian wedding for him. He tells Sandip to pack all the things that were used in this marriage so that he takes them along with Bauji to America. Bauji on hearing this starts coughing. Sandip, continues with the mantras as Bauji wasn't able to do it. (Another pandit!!! Thumbs Up) As the marriage ritual ends, Bauji tells Sandip he does not want to go to America. All the women are having fun singing marriage songs in the house when Sandip enters. Zoya tries to force Sandip to dance with them, but Sandip says he has something important to do. He goes inside and sees Arjun booking tickets (3 plus 1� one is a senior citizen� he was telling the agent thisShocked). Sandip asks Arjun not to take Bauji away from Colonel Gunj. Arjun dismisses him saying that Bauji was his responsibility as he is his family and nobody else's. Sandip is hurt but says nothing. Sandip comes out and meets Urmi, who tries to force him to dance but he takes little Anna for a ride in his bike. Inside everybody is dancing. Urmi pulls angelica to dance. Angelica dances very sweetly ClapClap. And then she pulls Urmi inside. When she comes out she is wearing Urmi's Salwar kameez. Everybody seeing her find her very beautiful. She then pulls the blushing Urmi who is wearing Angelica's dark pink colored top and blue wrap around skirt with floral printsBig smile. She is initially conscious but soon becomes confident enough to carry this dress. She is appreciated too. Just then Sandip comes in. Seeing Urmi he remarks to angelica that she shud take Urmi too with her to America as she seems ready for it LOLWink. Saying this he goes outside. Urmi follows him. She tells him that she dint like his taunting her in front of everybodyOuch. Sandip says he dint mean it that way. He tells her that Arjun is adamant and on the other side Bauji at this age wont be able to adjust in America. He further tells Urmi that he doesn't understand arjun's mentality of forcing bauji to go with him. Urmi goes inside to Arjun in hyper moodAngry. When Arjun looks at her he comments on the dress Tongueand tells her that she shud go out of Colonel Gunj to see the world as there is nothing worth in this locality. Urmi tells him that this is her home and her world and she will never go away from here and nor will bauji. She repeats what Sandip had told her. Arjun gets angry and screams at her to go out of the roomDead. She at first wants to tell him more but Arjun does not let her say anything. Urmi goes to Sandip and tells him that she told Arjun that he shud not take away bauji with him. Sandip is infuriated at Urmi's childishness and scolds herAngry. He tells her that whatever he told her was what was in his mind, and it is ridiculous to tell anybody else about this specially the one who shud not be told all this. "Tumne ab sab raita bana diya, ab main kaise sab sametunga?"AngryAngry He goes away angry and distressed. Urmi is angry too. She spills her anger on her deewane who were standing rite there. Bechare!! AngryCry Tongue Arjun and bauji have a talk about this. Arjun tries to convince bauji why it is so important for him to go to America. "bauji, ap yahan akele hai. Wahan main, apki bahu aur poti hai� ap apne logo ke beech rahenge� main apke bare mein pareshan hote hote thakk gayaConfused hoon� agar ap wahan rahe to main aapko apne aankhon ke saamne dekhunga to mujhe tassalli hogi" Bauji tries to show Arjun his point of view. "yahan meri zindagi hai beta, tumhari maa hai yahan� tumhare bachpan ki yaadein hai jinke sahare mainne apni zindagi kaati hai"Cry Arjun says tells him not to live in his past. He wants his dad to realize that the world is fast moving forward and they need to keep up with it. The past will pull them into darkness where he does not want to dwell in.Angry Bauji, depressed goes to Sandip. Sandip is writing a letter draft for Guptaji. Bauji tells him that just as Colonel Gunj will not be able to move even a leaf without him, he could not live without this place. Sandip tries to show Bauji Arjun's point of view. Bauji tells him how everybody in the locality say that his Sandip is such a good man and how much he helps everybody� "Apka Sandip sabki kitni madatt karta haiLOL� apka kitna khayal rakhta haiLOL� agar Yamraj bhi apko lene aye to apka Sandip usse bhi larr padegaWink�� par ye kyaShocked� mera Sandip to Arjun ki bhi madatt karta hai apne bauji to America le jane meinAngry�� beta� Kaushalya (bauji's wife) mujhe roz milne ati haiEmbarrassed� use maloom hai ki main yahan rehta hoon� wo apni zindagi mein Colonel Gunj se kabhi bahar nahi gayi� tum hi batao� agar main yahan se America chala gaya to Kaushalya mujhe kahan dhundhegiConfused�� agar main America chala gaya, to Yamraj bhi mujhe nahi dhuund payegaWink" (if the yamraj also comes to take me he wont be able to find me here!!!LOL) Sandip is left stunned at bauji's words.Cry
