Adi ka first bitter experience hai yeh. Uski aankhon mein aansoon hain, par voh apne aap ko sambhale hue IC ke bahar jaane lagta hain. Watchman usko dekh kar gusse mein kehta hai "aiye, kaun hain tu?", "aandar kaise gaya?". Watchman holds his collar. Adi darr gaya aur bola "bhai yahan koi nahi tha, main aandar chala gaya, mere bhaiya yahan kaam karte hain, main koi badmaash nahi". Watchman bola "tere jaise bahut dekhe hain, agar har kisi ka bhai yahan kaam karne laga to yeh jagah gaon ban jayega". Adi bola "nahi bhai, hamare bhaiya yahan kaam karte hain, yeh dekho,unki likhi hui chithi, isi company ka pata likha hai is me". Adi takes out a old letter and shows the address of IC to watchman. Watchman says "kaun hain tere bhai". Adi replies with some relief on his face "Vishesh bhaiya hain hamare bhaiya ka naam, aap shayad jaante hain unko". Watchman thinks for a while and then says "Vishu! woh peon. Haan, haan!! jaante hain hum, tum Adi ho kya?" Adi is happy to know this and with a broad simle on face "haan, bhaiya, hum Adi hain, Aditya, aap humko kaise jaante hain, aap bhaiya ko pehchante hain, kahan hain bhaiya, kaise hain, bahut din hue unki koi chitthi-patri nahi aayi, humko chinta ho gayi hain , kahan hain bhaiya......" watchman interrupts, "aarey!! bas! chup karo! itne sawaal karoge to hamara bheja chakra jayega".
Adi behaves like a kid and puts a finger on his mouth. 😛 Watchman replies "hamare ghar ke paas hi rehta hai, do-chaar din se uski tabiyat theek nahi hain, isliye kaam par nahi aaya hai. Ab kucch theek hain par aaraam kar raha hai, hafte bhar ki chutti hai uski". Adi is tensed hearing about his brother's health, he enquires "kya hua bhaiya ko?humko unka pata de do hum unse milna chahate hain?" Adi with folded hands is pleading the watchman. Watchman says "pata nahi kya hua hain, bahut dino se khaans(coughing)raha tha,aur halka bukhar(fever) bhi tha. Agar tu intezaar kare to ek ghante main meri duty khatam hoti hain, phir saath hi chalenge." Adi thinks for a while and says "theek hai bhaiya". They settle down near the gate. Adi is sitting on a rock and the watchman is sitting on a stool. Adi asks " bhaiya aap ka naam kya hain" , watch man lights a beedi and says "Gangaram". Adi with a smile asks "hum aapko Ganga bhaiya kah sakte hain kya?". Ganga smoking a puff says "jo chahe bolo, is sahar mein koi to baat karega isi bahane, varna peechle 7 saalon se yehi kaam kar raha hoon, koi dekhta tak nahi hain". Ganga apni beedi Adi ki taraf karta hain "yeh lo ek kash laga lo ,aur saari thakan mitalo", Adi refuses "nahi Ganga bhaiya, hum paan-beedi-sharab ko haath nahi lagate". Ganga ridicules him and says "isko haath nahi lagata to phir kisko lagata hain, abey tu koi mard hain", after a pause he says "accha, samjha, tera charas-ganja aur ladkiyon ka shouk hoga". Adi with assertive voice speaks "Ganga bhaiya, buri aadat se bachna mardangi ko kam nahi karta, aur na hi kisi aurat ka apmaan karke hum koi bahaduri ka kaam karte hain", he continues "hamare ghar mein, jindagi mein bhi aurat rehti hain, hamari bhabhiji, aur hamari hone wali patni hai, inka apmaan koi kare to hamara to khoon khol jayega, hum kaise kisi aur ke saath galat baat soch sakte hain". Ganga thinks to himself "Vishu bhi pehle, pehle yehi sab bakwaas karta tha......".
They change the topic and talk about various things, Mumbai and IC in particular. Adi is astonished to learn that girls and boys work together in night. 40 minutes pass and then suddenly Ganga asks Adi to stand aside. Adi is confused, but he does what Ganga has asked him to do. A car zooms out of the gate and Ganga salutes the car. Adi is amazed to see that beautiful car. As soon as Ganga relaxes, Adi says "kitni badhiya car hai".Just then the car returns and Chandni comes out of it.
