� 2000 - 2010 sansons.com India Limited. All Rights Reserved. The yamuna & ganga river sides are the most sensitive places.Any sight misunderstanding might build up into a burning national issue. Fight between saint groups is a common scene in varanasi on the matter of which group group to bathe first,whose body is to burn first,which group to have first darshan and so on. Patanjali ran out sauntering from the old woman's house after saying "thank you,see you"to the young man& girl at the Tajmahal.
He stopped at the entrance & stood there looking at her with a bunch of flowers in his hand.
She looked at him & really went into nuptuals, the evidence of which are her chicken smiles.
He approached her and said "first time i could not give you money.so accept this" "but this is'nt money"
"i know these are flowers.but what you gave me is flowers only "he said coughing
"but this is not barter system"
"then keep o this money also"coughing.
"no,i just joked."
"thanks"
"where are you to go"he asked coughing.
"to the market"
"iam too on the way to the market"
"o i see "she exclaimed
"yes, i know the market, the market is a livey & lovely place.The vegetables are livey & lovely,fresh,beautiful
,sweet,nice,to look at, good at heart & dinner in agra is beyond words could praise."
"but iam going to buy flowers"
"there what , ishall buy vegetables, u buy flowers.my vegetables won't jump into your basket of flowers
& your flowers won't jump into my basket.they won't eat other."
"but you brought no basket"
"let it be, i will give my vegetables to you,into your basket"
"no,no the flowers will be torn"
"then,i have brought my heart ....you cannot say no now"
"what?"
"i mean i have my mind & heart , i shall get a plastic cover some where"he coughed.
"and you are there ... for me to find my heart....i got a flower already"
Suddenly they heard protests and cries from the near by ghats. HE ran towards the cries leaving her behind"
two groups of saints were beating & fighting with their muscles & sticks.Shiv shankar was too involved in the stampade.
He was beating a old man on his head with a stick.
Patanjali could not see the scene any more .He jumped over shiv shankar & rolled down the stairs along with him
sitting on his back pulled back his both arms and scolded.Mean while, the remaining saints hit him but he jostled threw them
& asked the classical question "are you saints ?what do voilent acts mean?what does the saphire color
the color of the cassok you wore symbolise.What are you in the bhagavat gita called? o.k. you hit me .kill me.
kill me, your possession shall not be strained. but if you kill yourselves, what is the morality,
the strength is in...(you)..pl.."
Before he could say anymore words,the saints tried to assault him. Shiv shankar
who understood his thoughts came out" leave him .I say leave him.It is for us to
decide " thus he protected him from the fury of the saints. One must comprehend
that the saints too are human beings like us, that they too react like us.
But they must endeavour consistantly to achieve restraint patience, peace of
mind & forgiving.
Next day he got up at 8:30 in the morning with a feeling of headache & nausea with the ratting of door by the throw of newspaper by the newspaper boy. He knocked on his door a few minutes later until he got up & enquired for the monthly payment and if he would like to renew the daily newspaper subscription. Clearing his vision , patanjali told him no,explaining that they ,the staff members, seldem had time to read the paper and that lately he'd been taking from the front porch directly to the garbage heap. The young man pondered this & then said with enthusiasm "why ,i'll be happy to deliver it striaght to the garbage heap for you." There was humiliation & hatred mixed in reacted to his words .Yet he covered the matter by saying "as you like it" a second & he was really astonished to find the office vacant. No one was working not even the most sincere assistant. Then the fact opened doors to his mind.It was sunday. He flung into his coat & ran wearing action shoes towards Tajmahal.He finds her as professional as never before. She talked not even a word. He was leaving her with disguist in his heart when he overhead a dispute between her and her brother. She wished to watch the cricket match between india and southafrica in the stadium.
"Its the first time . I have never been before. Its not with pakistan or srilanka.
There shall not be any kind of violence. That day i could not get tick..pls
muje le cahlo na"
"nahein ,mujko kam hai,lal"
she thew the bunches of flowers on the floor & was loitering here & there.
"then i shall go on my own."
"ooy"Shivshankar called patanjali. He turned back slowly and stood with no feeling
on his face. Shiv shankar picked her by his hand around her shoulder & almost dragged
her as she showed hostility towards patanjali.
There was a few seconds fo silence. Then shivshankar told"i was foolish.."
followed by patanjali's apologise "iam sorry.iam really sorry for what.."
"i thought over the matter for the whole night. i understand u"
"but if this understands.."
"o.k .lets forget it now"
"madhu!"?he cried"o.k then go by yourselves"
She waved her hand to his brother. one would feel that she was going to watch
cricket by herself.But she joined patanjali & both waved their hands to him.
By the time they reached the ticket counter the tickets exhausted;
showing his identity card he advanced towards the managers room,pushed open the door and went into the room.Madhu was awaiting him
"sorry.Tickets come close to noisy 'youth club end'"
"i dont understand"
"the drums ,their beats whistles,slogans ,comments,can u here them?"he coughed
terribly
"never mind"
"then its o.k"he coughed.
Thanks god!There were seats for them.She got the flag in her hands and woved &
cheered on her cheek all the time before the match started. The score board was
straight ahead of them on the opposite side.
Adding to the disguist caused by the shouts,the sun was a walking disaster area.
But this had zero effect on her, she was agog watching cricket.
It was not too late when both teams started playing , that she started her food
menance. Apart from all that the open commentary of the match gave so much
pride to her that if one saw her,there,no doubt would feel that she was proud of her
husband,the fellow with her.
But she was infact proud of the indian team.
Breathing alfresco her happiness knew no bounds with india getting the first
chance to bat. Had she knew how to whistle she would have mixed up with the rouges
& danced to their wild beasts, to the brink of her youth.
He was coughing all the time and she had succint concern for him every time he coughed. He would more often look at her face than the play. But she did'nt care his lookings.
A precocious young guy in the young club end, sitting next to them on the other side of a seperator was trying commentary at the seat of his pants in a way that gefry boyctt would eat his heart out, the need for bpl and onida is ....... i guess i could say that. A stinct of gefry which he wonderfully percieved was encouraged by all the crowd around him "come on sandeep...........". some times imitation is also rewarded as was proved in his case beyond doubt that it was not infructuous. so how he shouted? in any case, well he has reduced a burden for me in describing the part of match , thats a sure thing.
"It is a sensational morning here at nehru stadium here,india and southafrica are going to face each other to prove themselves. india has already lost the last 9 finals and are in intense pressure.the pitch is really condusive for the pace bowlers and india really lack them."
"India won the toss and ganguly decided to bat first.
Pollock bowling the first ball from the pavilion end.
Ganguly facing the first ball,bang on target with the very first ball. The ball is swinging
a lot.Maiden first over from pollock.Sachin to face the first delivery on to the legs,
flicked it straight to gibbs , no real chance of any run .Second ball from donald straying down the off side smashed it away straight to jonty ,the over ended with just 1 wide delivery.

indian pair, indian captioan again came down the pitch edged and taken,oh no missed it,

"Sandeep.........great work for all of us...... we shall pay for ur meals..."
"i would like to add a pizza in ..."
"Granted , lets go guys...........hurray....."
Spectators were slowly dispersing for their lunch during the play.
"come , lets go & have lunch"
She was shy & unwilling to move with her adolescence
at the visitors gallary.
So he went in the massive crowd to a nearby restaurant , not to the stadium canteen,
got two parcels & headed towards the stadium. As he pounded the stairs he felt he was out
of order,as if some alien has taken control of him.He was feeling drowsy & sweat
dripped out as water from a sponge . He hardly made his way to her & sat over the chair
silently for 10 minutes.When he opened his eyes he saw her adoring him with her
kerchief.
"what happened?"
"just nothing , tired,...so ur name is madhu..."he coughed "madhumitha i like u"
she concerted her eyes at him as if they were to burn him.
"I like the name 'madhumitha',so sweet name"
She wore a light rose color patanjali dress & he was all eyes for her all day long.
She has two or three spots over her cheek adding beauty to her face. For him
they were emerged due to the milk in her . She would sit straight like a horse & he
liked it as he always like it.
The lunch break was over just as they had their own lunch and the match resumed.
Yes , come what may , the match might stop,but the chatter box ? nope, cannot it to shut down.
"come on sandeep, resume, ......ur now a professional employed by us man,you were paid for it......."they nagged the free loader.
Thus he opened"India to defend a reasonable total of 257,before one of the worth the best
teams ,south africa. Srinath to start his spell,kristen facing ,good first ball from srinath, on the off stumpline,second ball from srinath gave him wit to free his arms and no need to run for it the ball reached the fence , first over ended with six runs on board with
no wicket"
"prasad starting his bowling ......5th over...we want a wicket...gibbs lifted him over the
head,a huge six....expensive over from prasad...16 runs..10 overs....69-0...."
his friends disappointed with the performance of the countries players........catch misses,misfields,wides ceased to be his audience any more so he too stopped the commentary.
then kumble was brought into attack,it put the day lights in them once again.
"bowling to gibbs,smashed his very first delivery,field restrictions listed,..."
"south africa 96-0,kumble come back to power.......kristen came on to the front foot ,vullify the spin and hit it straight to long on, takes a single, gibbs trying to do same thing.....dravid collects it and breaks the bails off the stumps........hey.the first.."
"kumble to kallis fired it fast on to the wickets and that end of kallis magnificient wicket for kumble, gone..........cullinan gone.......hatrick for kumble......end of first spell for kumble "
"now dippenar goes up ....its for harbajan........."
"end of 40 overs,south arfica are 180,south africa requires 77 more runs out of 60 balls"
"srinath again on the attack.......klusner perishes.....south africans hopes end"
"south africa ends the innings by scoring 237-6,india wins by 20 runs...... "

Next day patanjali opened his eyes at 10'c. sitting behind him was madhu treating him.
"why are you here?"
"bayya dekhane ko kaha"
"no body in the office"?he coughed
"vinayaka chavithi"
He smiled hardly then again into doze.
Next day he found himself on a bed in a hospital.
She was not there.later came to know that a friend of his,his assistant who admitted him that last night.
at 4 'c in the evening he got up. His assistant said"there's nothing to worry.This is all but a precautionary measure." "when will i be discarged "he coughed "tommorow"
