I have observed some peculiar expressions this week.
Monday, 16th Feb, around 10am: Plan was to go to Dev D with Sanjiv. Shwetha had called one of her friends. But when we reached there, I came to know that tickets were sold out. I told same to Preethi and Shwetha.
Shwetha face showed an expression that was neither horror nor surprise, somewhere in between. She was blank for a moment, not knowing what to tell to her friend.
5 minutes later, Sanjiv came up to book tickets. When I told him the matter, he just looked at me for couple of seconds. At that moment he looked like Calvin’s dad.
Friday, 20th Feb, 5:30pm:
I was getting ready. Went to Deeptish and called him. Then I went to Shobhan, but he seemed furious. I asked whether he was joining us. He gave a tempestuous look and said he was given a load of work. I think he also uttered some swear words within his heart.
6:30pm: Abhinav joined us in the bash and he was trying few sips. Still he was in denial mode. I had to show him some lady far away, so that we can re-fill his glass. He tried to look in the direction, but he was totally confused and turned at me. Deeptish was smiling in front of him. Till today, I don’t know why Abhinav was so confused and why he was sweating that much.
2 hours later, we were leaving for the day, but Vikram was still staring his monitor. I asked him why he is not leaving. He gave a humble look and softly told, ‘Arre, utar nahi raha yaar…! Bike chalana hai !’. And this was the day when we genuinely felt, aaj thoda kam pad gaya bhai.
