Let’s take of where we left. But here’s a WARNING: today’s episode will be described in a more concise style than yesterday’s.
So Cadet Naina hears what Pooja has to tell Ali. So she is furious. This is one gal good at crying bucketfuls and getting infuriated (at the slightest provocation). So she does what she does the best. In her rage, she tells Ali that “tum bade swaarthi ho. Bhale tumhaaraa swaarth ek achha sipahi hona hi kyun na ho, lekin tumne apne swaarth ke liye yeh kaam kiya. Agar ek sipahi apne senior ki baat maan kar koi galti karta hai toh galti sirf uss senior ki hi nahin hai balki uss sipahi ki bhi hai jo apne senior ki baton mein aa gaya”.
Hearing this outburst, Cadet Ghai runs to turn into her friend (Ali’s) mouthpiece. She does what she does best….That’s Blabber. She screams back at Naina….(God only knows what). Then Naina taunts her saying that till now Pooja was entreating Ali to ask for pardon and now she is “palto-fying the entire plate”…plate toh kya saaraa ka saaraa thaal. To this Pooja responds saying “Haan, lekin ab aisaa nahi kahoongi. Kyun ki tum Ali ka dard nahin samajh sakti. Tum uski maafi samajh nahi sakti aur naa hi kabhi samjhogi. Aur iss sab mein sabse zyaadaa nuksaan bhi Ali ka hi hua hai kyun ki vishwaas to usi ka toota hai.” Naina says: “Iss sabse se ek baat to zaahir hai ki tum, Ali aur main batchmates to hain, lekin dost kabhi nahi ban sakte”. And she storms out of the room.
Ali wishes to tell this entire thing to Rajveer but Pooja effectively stops him by giving the “vaastha” of his future at KMA and a truckload of her emotions. Man!!! Any human will feel tired after all that screaming and tears. Was enough to start a new hydro-power plant.
Cut…..move scene to the canteen.
Major Bhargav finds Dr.Ritu sipping her black coffee and reading the newspaper…… and he has to (but naturally, jahaan khoobsurat lady, vahaan major Bhargav) ask her to allow him to join her on her table. She reluctantly says okie dokie.
Major: Dr.Ritu, aapko pataa hai ki zyaadaa black coffee peene waalon ke bare mein kya kahaa jaataa hai?
Dr: Nahin, Major aur kabhi jaanne ki zaroorat hi nahin padi.
Major: Zaroorat….aap har cheez zaroorat ke vajah se hi toh karti hain
Dr: (Stares at him with those undr…oops! Sorry beautiful yet unnerving pair of eyes)
Major: Kehte hain ki black coffee peene waale nihaayati jhoothe aur dhokebaaz hote hain. (His black coffee arrives at the table)
Dr: Aur Major aap?
Major: main toh onche kism ka jhootha hoon. Itne khoobsoorti se khooth bolta hoon ki sunnewaala jhooth ko sach aur sach ko jhooth maan leta hai. Lekin yeh aapke saath nahin chalta. Aap mere har jhooth ko pakad leti hain.
Dr: (She smiles enigmatically) zindagi ki jung jeetne ke liye kisi kadi military training ki zaroorat nahin hai, Major.
Major: Lekin aapka jhooth main pakad sakta hoon. Aapke aur Capt Rajveer ke jhoothe rishte…..
Dr: Yeh mera personal maamla hai, Capt aur maine aapko iss ke baare mein comment karne ki naa toh ijaazat di hai aur na hi aapke itne rights hain. It’s none of your business.
Major: Agar main chaahoon toh aapke iss jhooth ka parda faash, minton mein kar sakta hoon.
Dr: Toh der kis baat ki hai, major. Do as you please.
And she walks away gracefully. There she sees her beau (rajveer) entering and she takes his hand in hers and leads him towards a coffee table.
Meanwhile, Ali finds out that his canteen bill has been paid by Major Bhargav and he also has a message to call up his home urgently. On doing so, he finds that Major has sent Rs 10,000 to his home….and they are all very happy. Bhargava is standing right behind him and says that “usoolon ke saath jeena, un par chalnaa, achha lagta hai. Lekin kabhi kabhi apne ghar waalon ki khushi ke liye unhe tyaag denaa padta hai. Varna unko bahut thes panchegi, dukh hoga.”
Confused he goes crying to; who else??? THE Pooja Ghai…..who is digging furiously (no pun intended). She says that Major is giving “rishvat” to Ali for keeping his mouth shut and she also assures him that she will be with him no matter what happens. Nair comes and asks Cadet ghai…”apne khudaai ke status ke report do, Cadet Ghai”. (He must be the first Mallu without the least semblance of any mallu-panaa in his dialect or pronounciation.)
The best statement of the evening……….
Ghai: Sir, aapki kabr taiyyaar hai.
Nair…..(confused, angry and exasperated - all at the same moment. Resembled something like he is suffering from constipation. Whatever!!!)
Ghai: Mera matlab hai, aapne jo kabr khodne ko kahaa, voh taiyyar hai, Sir.
He says that he suspects Cadel Baig to have helped her so she is supposed to miss her classes and dig two more graves. The runner-up statement of the evening………..
Ghai: Ek kya kum hai???
He leaves.
Pooja also vows to Ali that she will make Nair repent for all his idiosyncracies…..and that she plans to leave KMA soon. And that she cant “give saath to ali”. Talk about changing colors!!!
Ali in Capt Rajveer’s class….with all the others (except Pooja, bhulakkad. She is busy digging graves). Rajveer knows that the letter episode is “Bhargav’s karaamaat. So he has an interesting session ahead hoping that the person who has helped him will come out in the open. Its all about knowing the right from wrong. So here is his bhaashan (as the protagonist of the serial, he deserves to have one)
Raj: Jung ke maidaan par, jab hum dushman par vaar karne jaaye toh yeh khayaal rakhna zaroori hai ki usme hamaare saathi ghaayal naa ho. Firing karni hai ya nahi – iss decision ko lene ke liye sipaahi ko time ahut kam milta hai. Kai baar hum jo sochte hain ki sahi hai, galat ho jaataa hai”….he goes on in the same vein for just about an aeon. Throughout all of this, they keep flashing Ali’s rondo face on and off…..its meant to be redundant.
Rajveer has placed some rifles (.57mm caliber) with blank rounds and he asks one cadet to go and “dushman ke adde par vaar karo”. The cadet gets caught. The next is…… apna hero….Hooda. Jo josh aur behosh ho kar mock dushman ko capture kar letaa hai. Lekin kaafi saaraa ammunition waste kar deta hai. And again Rajveer launches into a monologue of right and wrong….hoping that the guy (I deliberately refuse to use the word male here) who has helped Baggie (that’s my pet name for Bhargav) will reveal his identity……
Khallas! That’s it. Adios amigo.
Kal milenge. Baaki agle episode mein.
Ciao!
