JALDAPARA TOUR (EPISODE - 06)

Lodge Manager: - Sure, sure. I will arrange a cab for you people tomorrow morning, which will take you to Jaldapara. The name of the cab driver is Shakti. Maybe, he will take around 600 bucks.

Debarjun: - That’s not an issue. Please arrange the cab.

**************************

Debrup: - Dhaath…after a long journey also, I am not feeling sleepy. What is the time now? Let me see. Oh! It’s only 10.30 PM.

Sain: - Hey, Roy, come here. Just lean your ear on this wall. Can you hear something?

Roy: - Ha ha ha…yeah yeah, in the other room, the couples are having great performances. The moaning sounds are revealing that.

Ayandeep: - Hey, what happened? What are you people whispering at the side of that wall?

Roy: - Arrey, Ayandeep. Our room number is 23. In the room no. 22, some adult scenes are going on.

Debrup: - Taai naaki…uff…then we should make a hole in this wall to watch the live performance. I have never seen a live porn performance in my life.

Sain: - Ha ha ha…uff, Debrup, don’t make me laugh. Already, my stomach is too full with mixed chowmein and one bottle of beer.

Debarjun: - Uff, four of you are so frustrated. Chee chee…Let the couple enjoy themselves in their room. What is the problem? For your kind information, it is not twosome but foursome is going on. When I was going to meet the lodge manager, I saw two Nepali type girls and two boys entered that room. This is Siliguri, boss. In every lodge, these things happen.

Roy: - Come on; let us also hire two girls for tonight. We are in full energy tonight.

Debrup: - Naa babah…I am ok with porn films on VCD only. I don’t want to perform live before my marriage. Whenever I see a naked body of a woman in front of me, I feel hyper-tensed.

Sain: - Ok, ok, let us now stop this discussion. I have laughed so much that I am feeling tired now.

Ayandeep: - Hey, Roy, just take out the pack of cards from your bag. We will play call-bray for some time and then go to sleep.

*******************************

Debrup: - Hey, do you know, what is the time now? It is 4.30 AM, ha ha ha…We are playing call-bray for 5 hours, he he he…

Roy: - Hmm…I am feeling very sleepy. Let me go to sleep.

Ayandeep: - Ei, this is not done. When, I was having the highest points in the call-bray, he didn’t give me the chance to sleep. Now, I have got some negative points in this game and he is having the highest point. That’s why, he wants to sleep.

Debarjun: - This is not fair, Roy. You have to play for another 5 games. After 5 games, whoever has the highest points is the winner. Then, we will go to sleep.

Sain: - Ha ha ha…what is the point in going to sleep at 5 AM? He he he…

**************************

Debarjun: - So, you are Shakti?

Shakti: - Yes, Sir. Just get inside the cab. It will take around 3.5 hours from here to reach Jaldapara.

Ayandeep: - Where will we have our lunch?

Shakti: - Well, Sir. It is now 11 AM. After 1 hour, we will halt at a roadside restaurant for lunch. We will reach Jaldapara by around 2.30 PM.

JALDAPARA TOUR (EPISODE - 05)

Roy: - The Auto Rickshaws of North Bengal are quite different. In these autos, at least 10 people can sit easily. It has seats on its two sides. These autos are basically like trekkers only.

Debrup: - We have reached Siliguri. Now, we need to find a lodge. Accha, bhai, is there any good lodge here?

Auto Driver: - You can go to the Dragon Lodge.

************************

Lodge Manager: - Oh! You people want to stay for tonight only. Then, it’s better for you people to book one double bed room only.

***********************

Sain: - Let us freshen up and take a nice bath. Then, we will go for our dinner.

Debarjun: - Accha, we need to go to the other side of the Siliguri town. We need to book a car for tomorrow to reach Jaldapara forest.

Roy: - Ok, ok, now it’s only 6.50 PM. We have enough time to do all those things.

***********************

Ayandeep: - What is the name of this river flowing under this bridge?

Debrup: - Maybe, it is Mahananda River. I am not sure about that. Uff, look at the two sides of this river. There are so many slums. All these slum dwellers are polluting the waters of this river. No one is taking initiative or special care to clean the waters of this river.

Debarjun: - Have you noticed one thing? The lodge, where we are staying is on that side of the bridge. That side is the residential area of Siliguri. On this side of the bridge, it is the market area. All government offices, bus stands, travel agencies, big restaurants and markets are on this side of the bridge. Silguri is a planned city but now it has become a den of anti-socials.

Roy: - Siliguri is the main dumping center of Chinese products in India. If we get time, after our Jaldapara tour, we will try to visit the China market of Siliguri. You will get many electronics goods from there at a very cheap price. The only thing is that you have to spend some time to choose the quality electronics goods.

************************

Sain: - There are no cabs or jeeps available in any of the travel agencies, which will take us to Jaldapara forest. Actually, they are saying that for them Jaldapara is an odd route. Basically, all their cars are for Gangtok, Darjeeling or Kalimpong route.

Ayandeep: - Then, we will request our lodge manager to help us in this regard.

Debarjun: - Yeah, we can surely do that. Accha, there is one thing, we should be concerned about. We have not got the return ticket to Kolkata in any train. So, I have asked 2-3 travel agencies regarding the Volvo buses to Kolkata. The rate for A/C Volvo seat to Kolkata is 792 bucks per head and for Non A/C Volvo it is 510 bucks.

Roy: - Arrey, that we will book on the returning day only. Don’t worry about that. Boss, I am feeling very hungry now. We should have our dinner now. I can see the Dragon Bar & Restaurant from here. I think that we should go and eat there. Maybe, we can drink also.

Sain: - These three people don’t drink. Maybe, both of us can enjoy Strong Kingfisher beer.

***************************

Ayandeep: - The Mixed chowmein of this Dragon Restaurant is really tasty and the Chicken curry is good too.

Roy: - Yeah, and it becomes tastier, if you drink Kingfisher beer with it. But, one thing you have to appreciate that in this part of the country, you will get the real Chinese noodles. These noodles are very thin, smooth and tasty, unlike the fat local noodles that we eat in the food stalls of Kolkata.

JALDAPARA TOUR (EPISODE - 04)

Tranny 01:- Ei deh naa…hai hai…Chikney…come on, give us some money.

Ayandeep: - I can hear that typical clapping sound. Again, a group of tranny has boarded the train. Half an hour ago, I was literally harassed by them. I got rid of them by giving 10 bucks. Excuse me please. I need to go to the washroom of this side.

Sain: - ei, Ayandeep, wait, I will also accompany you.

************************

Tranny 02:- Come on, dear, give us some money.

Roy: - Hey, don’t touch me. Just half an hour ago, we have given money to your friends.

Tranny 01:- Hai hai, they were the trannies of different district. Every district has its own group of trannies. Now, the train is running through Malda district, dear. Come on, give us some money.

Debarjun: - Sain and Ayandeep have fled from this place to avoid this situation. Hey, Debrup, do you have any 5 rupee coin. Just give them.

Debrup: - Ei, just take this 5 bucks. We cannot give more than that.

Tranny 02:- Uff, both of you are so naughty, but this boy is sweet, mmuaah….lakkhi cheley…

***********************

Sain: - Ha ha ha…uff…baapre baap…ei, Ayandeep, we should have not fled to the washroom. We have missed the lovely scene, where a tranny was giving a flying kiss to Roy. Oho! Roy, a tranny has fallen in love with you. You should give us a treat for that. He he he….

Roy: - Hmm…you people are laughing at it. Actually, this is harassment. That tranny has physically abused me.

Ayandeep: - Arrey, this harassment was still a good one. You know, what happened to one of my friends, while he was travelling to North Bengal by train. He was having a nice nap on the upper berth in the afternoon. Suddenly, some trannies boarded the train. One of those trannies pressed my friend’s natural asset so hard that he woke up with a painful surprise. Imagine, how you feel, if someone presses your pipe so hard, when you are having a nice sleep. My friend uttered so many slang languages to them, but, it hardly matters to those trannies. At the end, those trannies forcefully collected 20 bucks from my friend.

Roy: - There is no law to prevent these trannies from boarding the train? They always harass the passengers. They have some sexual organ problems and malfunction, so, what can we do for that? God has created them like that. For that reason, why should we be harassed by these trannies?

Debarjun: - Oh! Come on. Now, forget that topic. We have given them money. Those trannies will not disturb us again. So, just forget it. Hey, look at my mobile handset. The Airtel connection is showing a tower of Bihar. Is this train going through Bihar?

Sain: - No, the train is going through the Malda district. If you see the map of West Bengal, you can locate a region in Malda district, where the state of Bihar border and Bangladesh border is just about to touch each other. But in between those borders, there is a small portion of Malda region of West Bengal. Our train is going to that small region.

***********************

Debrup: - Uff…chalo, after a long journey, we have reached New Jalpaiguri station. It is now 5.55 PM. Wow, the train has reached the station before the scheduled time. That’s quite good.

**********************

Auto Driver: - Silguri! Siliguri! This auto will go to Siliguri. Yes, Sir! How many are you in number?

Debarjun: - We are 5 in number. We want to go to Siliguri. How much will you take?

Auto Driver: - I will take 40 bucks. Just sit inside my Auto, Sir.

JALDAPARA TOUR (EPISODE - 03)

Sain: - Hello! Debrup, where are you people, boss? It’s 5.55 AM now. I have already reached Sealdah station. The Kanchan-Kanya Express is standing on Platform No. 10. The train will start at 6.25 AM. So, don’t be late. By the way, the railway tickets are with whom? What is our coach number?

Debrup: - Tickets are with me only. Our coach number is S-6. Our seat numbers are from 18 to 22. Ayandeep is with me only. I don’t have any information about Debarjun. Roy may have boarded inside S-6, because he reached the Sealdah station at 5.40 AM.

**********************

Roy: - Where is Debarjun? It is already 6.15 AM. After 10 minutes, our train will start. Hey, Debrup, just make him a call.

Debrup: - Dhaath…I have never seen a lazy boy like Debarjun. Let him suffer for his laziness. There is nothing to worry. If he misses this train, then he can board any North- Bengal Express Bus from Esplanade to reach Siliguri. Debarjun lives in Saltlake area and he cannot reach Sealdah station on time.

Ayandeep:- He he he…there is an old saying that the persons who live near the Railway Station always misses the train…ha ha ha…Debarjun is not an exceptional case in this regard.

*********************

Debarjun: - Oh! Yes, I have made it. At last, I have boarded the train on time.

Roy: - Just 2 minutes before 6.25 AM, you have boarded the train like a Hindi film Hero.

Debarjun: - Uff, I woke up at 5.50 AM. Then I came out of my house at 6.05 AM. Thanks to our car driver. He drove the car at a speed of 50 Km per hour to reach Sealdah station from Saltlake. I was actually planning to board the train from Ultadanga station, but, our car driver was confident enough to drop me at Sealdah station on time.

Ayandeep: - for your kind information, this train does not halt at Ultadanga station. It will just slower its speed and gallop through the platform slowly. Had you been waiting at Ultadanga station to board this train, then it would have been very risky for you, because you had to board on the running train.

*********************

Debrup: - Accha, when will we reach New Jalpaiguri station?

Debarjun: - We will reach NJP station at 6 PM.

Debrup: - My goodness. It will take 12 hours to reach NJP. Babah, in 12 hours, a person can cross the entire state of Orissa and the half distance of Andhra Pradesh to reach Vizag. But, in our journey, we will remain inside West Bengal after 12 hours of journey also.

Sain: - He he he…have you not seen the map of West Bengal? The state of West Bengal is very big in its length but very small in its breadth.

Ayandeep: - We will feel bored. Hey, Roy, have you brought the pack of Cards?

Roy: - Yeah, yeah, I have. We can play call-bray here inside this train only.

Debarjun: - What is that in your hand, Roy?

Roy: - This is my i-pod. It has 1 GB memory space. You can store any .MP3 songs and listen to it with the help of these ear-phones. At present, I am listening to some new songs of Bengali bands.

Sain: - Hey, Roy, do one thing. Let us share the ear-phone. One will be in my ear and other one in your ear.

*********************

Debrup: - This train is going through which route? I mean to say that the main Sealdah line goes towards Shantipur, Kalyani and Krishnanagar. But, this train has to go through the Bardhaman line to meet the main route to North Bengal.

Sain: - Yeah, yeah, it will surely meet the Bardhaman junction. After Bandel junction, this train will bend left side towards Adisaptagram and then move towards Bardhaman. I am not sure, but, maybe that is the only route. After Naihati station, this train will cross the Hooghly River.
