Second Chance (Vol.1) Squandered

69: Timepass@SA

(This part is just the girl gang idling away their morning at Sanju's Adda. Sorry but no AdiYa content here. Just me ranting about TV serial content in general.

I will continue updating story after june
- Yours truly MissWW)

Boo!

Sanju literally jumped out of her skin. Clu clapped her hands in glee.

Noor looked at Clu and wondered if she was some vampire who had transformed when she was 15 or 17. Vampires keep the age they transformed at forever.

Clu was painfully short; had the build of a child and was crazy enough but she claimed she was almost 30; older than Appi. Flu was her sister's exact replica just little shorter but seemed wiser than a 1000 year old witch.

Now wait! 1000 year old witch! Yikes! Of all the similies in the world why had she chosen this!

Clu: (bouncing on her toes) Zzanju! Found you! By the way zzome advizze. Never zzit with your back to the door. But but but... Why you hiding?

They soon figured out that Sanju wasn't hiding. She had told them last night she needed an hour to herself but no one seemed to have listened.

Sanju had promised to help her neighbor with her college project on ITV Content. The girl had collected too much material and had requested Sanju to filter out the best for her from a neutral uninvested POV. But Sanju had lost track of time just exploring all the exciting new equipment and electronic gadgets in the basement.

Filtering the scenes seemed a tedious task alone but Noor thought it would be fun in a group and more the merrier. Sanju wasn't sure but Noor and Clu insisted on helping though Noor wasn't sure what Clu had made of their conversation. They frequently slipped in Hindi phrases and words though they made a conscious effort to avoid local tongues when Clu or Flu were around.

Clu was dispatched to find Flu Zoya and Roshnaq Aunty. Noor helped Sanju figure out connecting the equipment such that it would work with her laptop.

Noor: Zzaaaanjuuuu! Doesn't it irritate you.

Sanju: Better than Zzanzzu!

Noor: Yaaa... Seriously! Zanju is definite improvement over Zanzu!

They both laughed.

Sanju: Coming from these 2 sweetie-pies. No. It does not bother me. And I know they consciously put in a lot of effort to progress from Zzanzzu to Zzanju. But I don't want them stressed out getting it right and I told them so. But they insist on trying to say it right.

This is how a few minutes later the girl gang and Roshnaq Aunty found themselves critiquing TV shows.

Zoya and Roshnaq Aunty took to the comfy recliners, the first and last in the front row. But the rest sprawled lazily on the floor space in front of the big screen and asked them to shift towards the centre seats so they could form a cozy huddled group. Noor took charge and explained the purpose and modus operandi.

They kept just a few dim lights on and the place transformed into a snug homely mini-theatre.

To avoid embarrassment Sanju had suggested finishing filtering out the Suhaag Raat (folder titled consummation) scenes, before the other 4 ladies could get there. But Sanju took too much time selecting the last clip.

Noor gave up and left Sanju at it. Anyways everyone was here. The damage was done. She only hoped her poor Ammi didn't think they were watching some version of soft porn.

Noor: (to herself) Wow! Consummation! She rolled the word on her tongue. It sounded faintly familiar though she couldn't imagine where she may have heard it before. For some reason it made her picture someone going up in flames. In an odd way apt...
