Flash back stories in hindi movies start with a event that turns the lives of the characters in it.
I take the privilege to narrate this story to you with a most controversial event that changed our lives for an evening. Hum sab log insaan se jaanvar ban gaye the. The key characters in this film are Samir, Rikhav, Michael, Pravina, Yogita, Jiten, Pramod, Neetesh, Shekar, Shweta, Jayshree. The film starts with a perfect question “which movie?â€. Someone suggested why not 5 minutes conference on spark. So mike initiated and we all started presenting views and choice of interest with a lot of chaos. So at this point we introduced the most simplified solution. And that was ‘nominate a person and we all go for what he/she says’ and Neetesh
never felt so lucky before. Here is his plan
“Let’s watch ‘The Dark Knight – Bat Man’†(neetesh is too good sometimes…)
And the next chaos was about the place or rather what we call a mall (another chaos). It was difficult to decide upon it. So someone comes with newspaper the other with online time table for cinemax and pvr and fame and some say ‘it’s far away from my place’ the other with the same dialogue and blah blah blah…….. And finally we decide to go to the new upcoming mall “Oberoi Mall†and watch “Bat Man†at PVR (great seats… cannot compete anyone).
Here the team of 11 fighters (cock fighters) leaves to make their plan successful. We made grps of 3 caught whichever vehicle we could (who else then a rickshaw could stop looking at rikhav and ……) and headed towards the target some thru the linking road others thru arrey colony. Rick as I call rikhav was amazed looking at the Indian sky scrapers at borivili. His gujju mind started working and we were sure it wouldn’t stop till he goes home and discuss this with his near and dear friend (should be another gujju). Well let’s not bother much about rick. Wo adat se majboor hai. We all gathered near the food court and all these guys had a wash in the washroom (off course… where else can you have wash) and we girls did not require as we always look fresh and young and beautiful (bad guys won’t agree you see…..). And just let me share a secret that these guys looked no different even after the wash… ok coming out of that wash room mike and I had a confusion whether to order first for food or get the movie tickets…. We agreed on ordering as we all were starving and reason for our hunger was those stalls and all the poster food… And now we all were behaving like kids (we want to seat here…. No no we want to seat here…. No no lets seat here). Oh god!!
At last we found the unlucky tables (it must be still cursing us!!!). We needed lot of cash as the food court ppl had introduced a plan in which we had to pay some cash and they would issue a card which is then used on every counter and your points or the cash are redeemed after every order. Par shayad humari bhuk pariksha thi and we had no cash. Mike and samir did a great favor on us and debited a lump sum amount from a ATM outside the mall and at last we got the card…
Aur iske baad jo hum log khaye hai…… card leke main bhag gayi. Pramod, mike and me ordered chiken tandoori meal and reshmi kabab meal and chicken biryani and rogan gosh then the card was handed over to jiten and neteesh and they went for ghaas pus paneer tikka, chole bature and paneer makhanwala. Card was now with shweta, jayshree, rickhav and samir….. They ordered for pasta and sizzlers and other ghaas pus (arrey veg me variety kaha hoti……) and also the typical sweet (though Bengali sweet it was sweet . 3 gujjus together….. baap re )rasgulla, ras mallai and other stuff …… mean while I was looking around and I found our dear yogita confused (she is always for no reason and I have no guts to ask her why?. I might get confused). I reached to her to help her out as to what she could have. And finally we decided on dahi puri and paratha after a long do’s and don’ts. AHHA!!!!!!
One by one the orders started getting ready. Whatever the food was every bhukkad sala tut pad raha tha. We were so engrossed that we were not bothered who dropped the pepsi and who finished what… Mike was really irritated with our behavior and he promised himself not to get these monsters again to any mall… We all did not bother what mike had to say. It was like bhais ke samne bin bajana. This is the reason I said those tables were very unlucky as at the end those tables were screaming “Bas karo Bas Karo…. Bas kar jiten khate khate tu rick ban jayega….. Pramod apni size dekh…. Arrey kamino muft me mila toh itna khane ka…. Kam se kam hamara khayal karo… Khana kha raheho ya humko khila rahe ho).
Actually I pity those tables. If they had lives we all would have got finger prints on our respective cheeks…..
At last we all cleaned ourselves …. In mean while yogita was not to be seen. I knew where she could go. No where beyond the bars (her bars were the posters and a small tv screens at the PVR. She could stand watching it for hour’s together thinking that it was the actual movie. She is very sidhi sadhi ladki with lot of brains and no presence of mind…. Ha ha ha . I love to irritate specially her). We all were busy with our photo session…. Neetesh, me, jiten poses for a click. You can take a look at it….
And then we headed towards the screen at 8.35 and all the ppl were looking at us as if hum log kahi gaav se toh nahi aye? Well we were happy and enjoying… Well I shall not say anything about the movie. Neetesh gave a dakaar at the intermission and we had a real pj coming out from jiten “neetesh pehle dakaar dena bhul gayatha isliye abhi diyaâ€. Well I know it’s difficult to laugh. Please bear with him. At the end we all were freezed believe me actually freezed… The ac was too strong. Many wanted to move out but the movie was so good that no one could dare do it. Well at last we were out, trying to find some warm place. Now we had no energy to do any more fun. Ac had made us thanda….. We all caught a rick and headed towards our rooms with our minds complaining “kal phir office… oh no!!!!†but rick’s mind was still thinking about the Indian skyscrapers. Par sabka man keh raha tha “Thx to our company, WA for this great idea of Team Treat without whom we all devils together could never enjoy. Thx a lotâ€.

Hi Pravina, nice blog.
Yeah! It was fun and a great experience and it has always been. Finally we saw a movie in a theater which had more than 10 viewers.
It was the first time I ate at a Food Court and it was so much fun watching all of us turning into food gorging machines.
Team Treat is something that most of us are excited about. It not only allows to enjoy but also refresh ourselves. It is one of those great ideas that our company has.

Hey pravina. Its bad of u to open out our true monsters to all out here.
Anyways we are what we are!! Ain’t we?
I still remember rikhav (who is a pakka veg) harassing the veg food stall guys by asking for non veg food or at least with egg. I tell you he is a abnormal guy who becomes normal at times . I wont mention completely about the 3 gals at whom rikhav was eying on rather than the food.
Neetesh, Jiten, Pramod were at there usual gimmick style.
Once the movie started we were just purely amazed seeing it till the time of interval which we thought would be end of the show. (English movies tend to get over within 2 hrs but this one was too long)
Again coming to rikhav, he was just going to have an heart attack when the movie had a scene where many a millions of dollar were burnt. He shouted “jalaya kyun mujhe de do”. We were just bursting with laughter.
It was one of the best Team Treats i had in the span of my job with WA.
Thanks guys!!

Pravina,
I think we really enjoyed this TT. One more think I want to say, I read one article in newspaper that we should have to spend one day differently(read it as other than routine life).That will release pressure and make you fresh and healthy.So I am hoping for more TT’s like this for healthy future.By reading this mike will say ’sorry boss, health gayi bhad me pahale manners ke bare me socho’.
thanks to all for making this TT one of my memorable moments.
