Sunday.

Gin gets up in the morning and is surprised to see R already awake and sitting in a corner messaging.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On their way to Wonder-la . Gin drives the bike and R sits behind.

Speed: 27 Km/hr.

Gin : "Machaan... ticket 500 rooba.... ATM card irukka....???"

[After a few seconds]

Gin: (to himself)"aandavaa... ivan thirundhara maadhiri theriyala.... innaikku ennenna nadakka pogudho...."

Inside Wonder la..

R: "machaa,.... follow me.....gold da..gold...."

R rushes towards a pretty girl who is walking at a distance.

Gin carries his heavy body and tries to match R's speed.

R after nearing the girl starts whistling for a while... dosen't get any response from the girl... and then hums an old Ilayaraja melody.

R: "♫ ♪ ... endha pennidamum illaadha ondru...adhu edho....unnidam irukiradhu....♫ ♪...adhai ariyaamal vidamaatten....adhu varai unnai thoda maaten....♫ ♪  "

Gin just reaches the place and pulls R from behind and stops him.

Gin: "dei vetti....adhu ponnu illada...payyan....long hair vechirundhaa back side la irundhu paathaa aambalayaa pombalayaa nnu kooda adayaalam theriyaadhaa da...."

R: "aaha...thanks machan... vaa...avanukku artham puriyaradhukulla odiduvom...."

Gin: "aandavaa.... (fill in the blanks) "

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After hours of rides ,both Gin and R are terribly tired.

R wants to try one more ride while Gin refuses.

Lazy river - Basically a ride to relax where you get into a man made river and just stay afloat for 30 minutes as you slowly move across the river to the other end. 

R wants to try it while Gin who is even more lazier than the river decides to stay back and sit under a tree.

 R immediately after jumping into the river finds a girl floating alongside alone . He waits for a while and just keeps pace with the girl.

R (striking a conversation..) : "hey"

girl  : "hello... "

R: "nice place ..huh"

girl: "oh yeah...am loving it"

R: "coincidence! am loving it too!"

girl: "what was that?"

R :"never mind... where are you from ? Bangalore?"

girl: "why do you want to know?"

R: "ok...lets talk something else... how did the indo-US congress for the welfare of the african tribes meeting go? i heard the tribes were going like 'ooooooooo' "

girl: "omg!"

R: "he he... so u want to switch back to the older question?"

girl: "u r funny!"

R : "no..i am R ...from chennai!"

girl: "chennai yaa??? sooper!"

R: "oh... tamizhaa nee?"

girl: "aamaam.....am pooja"

R: "saraswathi a lakshmi aa?"

girl: "what?"

R: "enna pooja nnu ketten"

girl: "kadavuley...."

R: "rendumey kadavul dhaan ... he he..."

.

.

.

[in the meantime]

Gin sits under a tree. No one is seen around.

Suddenly from nowhere a guy silently moves towards Gin and tells him something . 

A hushed conversation takes place for a while. 

Gin looks around for R and to his shock finds him at a distance with a girl!

.

.

.

R: "so pooja... unakku coimbatore la friends irukaangalaa?"

Pooja: (thinks for a sec) "illayey.... not anybody i can think of immediately"

R: (sigh of relief) "good... thanks!"

Pooja: "yenna  good...yenna thanks?? "

R: "illa...coimbatore ponnunga laam oru maadhiri ... u know.... romba koba kaara ponnunga.... adhaan... just... sonnen.... "

Pooja: "ennada R...girlfriend aa?? therinjaa adi pinniduvaala?? "

R: "cha cha.. not at all.... Girlfriend irundhaa unna maadhiri oru azhagaana ponnada time spend pannuvenaa?"

Pooja: "...summa kadha vidadha da...."

R: " azhaga irukennu sonnaa kadha vidarennu solra..."

Pooja: "hey... naan sonnadhu girl friend kaaga"

R: "cha cha.... naan oru suthamaana payyan.... u know...as pure as ... u know.... cooker la irundhu suda suda edutha  idli maadhiri....avlo pure"

Pooja:"ayyoooooo...."

R: "nee epdi??"

Pooja: "avasiyam sollanumaa...don't u think this is too much for a conversation with a stranger on a random ride like this?"

R: "well...life is a strange movie ... with twists and turns all over the place"

What happens after this needs a bit of explanation. The suddenness of what is about to happen might be tough to explain in words, but i would invite the reader to imagine the situation. All of what is explained below happens in about 2-3 seconds.

 The river takes a twist, Pooja's float turns first and goes away from sight. At the same instant, one other float from behind crashes on R's float and he is shaken up a bit.Both their floats stop at the turn of the river and R turns at once instinctively to find some unknown guy smiling at him in a weird manner. The Random guy who could not have seen Pooja by any chance smiles again at R and says

Random_guy: "Sir.... Ungalukaaga dhaan ivlo dhooram vandhen!"

R: "Yaaruyaa nee?"

Random_guy: "naan yaarungaradhu mukkiyam illa sir.... unga prachanaya epdi theekaradhunnugaradhu dhaan mukkiyam"

R: "ennayaa solra??? enna prachana?enna theekka pora nee???"

Random_guy: "enakku ellam theriyum sir.....(smiles weirdly again) girlfriend kooda laam sanda pottaa summa vida koodaadhu sir!"

R: "yov.... enna venum unakku???"

Random_guy: (suddenly lowers his voice) : "sir... unga friend ellathayum sonnaru.... indha maadhiri problem ku ellam naan dhaan sir indha area la dealer..leader...ellamey..... neenga mattum indha leggiyam vaangi saapudunga....  ungalukku 10 ey nimishathula yaanai balam kedaikkum sir .... aprom neengaley nenachaalum ungalaala......sir...sir.... enga sir poreenga.... irunga sirr.....just 2000 rupees sirr... unga friend neenga kandippa vaanguveengannu sonnaaru sirrr.....sirrr....."

R accelerates his float and takes the turn to find Pooja's float at a distance

Pooja (at a distance..getting out of the float) :"All the best with your girlfriend  R... my lazy friends are waiting... nice meeting u.... bbyeeeeeeeeee"

R lies on the float and starts staring blankly at the sky ...
