Ruju: Chakudi, what are these keys?

Chakudi(seeing them, jogging her memory): This is...hmmm...this is...(eyes widening) this is that keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Ruju: Which is whaaaaaaaaaat keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Chakudi: These are keys of my cupboard.

Chakli: What? You were not locking your cupboards???

Chakudi: Actually they were lost, I tried to find out but...

Chakli: But where are your duplicate keys?

Chakudi: These are duplicates only.... he he he...

Everybody started laughing...

Chakli: You lost duplicate too?? So you still don’t have originals?

Chakudi: We might find out soon... :P

Lali: Chakudi, why so many boxes of shampoo and face wash are empty here?

Chakudi: Simple Lali, because I’ve used them...

Lali: I know that! But you didn’t put them in dustbin? (Then she looked at overloading dustbin) Ok ok, I got it...

She took the dustbin for throwing waste out (thinking throwing Chakudi out too!) and then cleaned all extra things from bathroom.

Ruju: Hey everybody, come here, look what I found out! Chakudi wrote diary pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chashmish(jumped): What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Then she grabbed them from her hands and started reading aloud)

Chakudi: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You can’t read them. They are still not complete.

Chashmish: Date written is...6 months back. You started writing 6 months back and still uncompleted?

Chakli : Its ok Chashmish. I sometimes complete some topics after a year. The key point is don’t write the date.. So nobody will know when you started it. That’s what i do every time. He he...
Chashmish : So that’s why you don’t write dates. Now I got it. Chakli from now onwards I want each and every page written by you MUST contain a date and page number. Is that clear? Why don’t you understand that we face so many problems in arranging one page after the other.
Chakli : But at least I write! Lali doesn’t even do that.
Lali : What should I write? I dnt find any topic...
Ruju: What ra? There are lots of topics to write; our birthdays, your college, your friends, our madness in this house.
Chakudi : Hey hey he, you people are mad, I am a very good girl ;)
Chashmish : You and good!!!.... Ha ha ha..
Chakli : We all are diverting from main point. We are yet to read Chakudi’s diary pages.
Chakudi : I will not let anybody read till I finish it.
Ruju : When will you finish it? In next 6 months?
Lali : Leave it yaar, Chaku, finish it quickly hmmm…
Ruju : I want to get this finished tonight itself! Chaku start writing now only.
Chashmish : You said as if she will follow you. See for diary writing you need proper arrangement, proper mood and atmosphere.
Chakli : Correct!
Ruju: Ya ya you will obviously support her, after all you are also sailing on the same boat!

Lali: Ok ok…lets concentrate on work please…
Chashmish(in Ruju’s ears): When did Lali become inline function? :) 

Again everybody started working...

Chakli: My God! I'm tired of collecting cloths and arranging them. You seem to be possessing infinite cloths. From every hook and corner of your room, I'm finding only cloths and cloths.
Chashmish (yawning...): Think abt me dear. Since last half an hour I'm ironing...my back is aching now...Chakudi this is not done...
Ruju(again found something from cupboard): Chakudi...this is...
Lali(jumped): This is my kurti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But how come...wait a min...it’s the one which I gave to Chakudi 2 months back. My God! I've been finding this since ages.
Chakudi: Finally your wait period is over Lali :P
Lali: I asked you so many time to give it back but you never replied. Then I thought I must've misplaced it. My God! Such a costly kurti now in a worst condition. Why are these stains here? You daily feed this kurti or what?
Chakudi(in eye-contact of Chashmish): Actually Lali, I got it stained in party and thought you would be angry seeing it like this. So...
Lali(now actually becoming lal lal): And till then it’s like this only!!! How can you...?
Chashmish: Are dnt worry Lali, we'll give it to laundry today only.
Lali calmed down a bit. Chakudi offering her thanks by eyes. And they all started working. Slowly they tried winding up the work leaving all the waste on the floor.
Chakudi: Maid came today? Who'll clean this now?
Chashmish: Yupp, when you ppl were dreaming in morning.
Lali: See, we all have taken bath, only u r left. So...
Chakudi: So? So what? I'm not going to sweep this mess ok? You ppl wanted to clean the room, you do.
Ruju: Now we are going down. We are tired. You sweep this up, after all you'll be sleeping here tonight, not we. So either you do or nobody will. Better take bath too.
Chakudi(yelling): Chashmishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Chashmish: Ya dear, I'll be here, dnt worry. (Saying this she sat on bed with everybody)
Chakudi: You are not here just to sit. Do smthing.
Chashmish: Yupp doing. Supervising you :)

Rest all: Hehehe...

Lali: What abt lunch?

Chakli: Whose turn is it?

Mithu has given turns to all the vegetables and everybody had to eat whomsoever’s turn is there in sabji. This is because half of the people disliked every vegetable and rest half could not get chance to eat them. There was always a debate on what to cook. And all ended up eating potatos so clever mithu finally decided to buy each vegetable available in market and give them turns and cook one by one.

Lali: Only ‘gavar’ is there in fridge.

Both Vidhi’s mouth fell on “gavar” and Ruju jumped...

Ruju: Gavaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.............yipppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Cook double for me.

Chakli : And dont consider me. I hate it.
Chashmish : Are but what is the problem with ‘gavar’?
Chakli : It looks like the meal of a goat like grass!
Chakudi : You mean Ruju is a goat? Hehehe…
Ruju : Eh…you always have problems with every vegetable.
Chashmish : Correct!
Chakli : I dnt have problem with every vegetable, but only few of them.
Ruju : Only we know how long is your ‘few of them?’
Lali : Ok ok..now easy.
Chashmish : Everybody has to eat everything-it is a rule.
Chakli : Ok, will have it :(

Chakudi: Noooooooooooo, we'll have cheez sandwich and coke today.

Lali: No. No cheez.

Chakudi: Ok, you can have bread butter.

Lali: No, no butter.

Chakudi(angry): Then eat only bread :@

Lali: No bread too :)

Rest all laughed...

Chakudi: Lali, why don't you have a fast today? And tomorrow and this whole week and this whole month and for rest of your life? You'll surely become thinner than Chakli.

Lali: No, I need some amount of food to survive. You see, it’s the calorie you use and burn in your work. Like, if I am teaching, my calorie consumption is 180 per hour. If you are sleeping, then also you are consuming 54 calori/hour. To compensate them...

Chakudi(in mind): Why did I ask her...

Lali(continuing): ...I have to have some calories , from fruits you generally get 100. So...

Chashmish (clapping): Great Lali teacher....we'll have your class later, but now we'll have gavar, roti, dal, rice. Decision maker's decision. Chakudi, you can have sandwich tonight or in snacks. No arguments. Let’s go for cooking.

All of them entered into kitchen. The kitchen was as huge as to accomodate all of them. There were lots of cupboards to fit different kinds of utensils. There was a large basin at the end of black granite platform. At the other end, there was one big 'matlu'. There was a huge cupboard just for snacks. There was a big double-door fridge full of chocolates and ice-cream, microwave and exhaust fan. Neat and clean kitchen which will soon become messier then Chakudi's room :)

Lali: See I want no garbage here and there...

Chakudi: Lali everyday you say, and still it takes another half hour to clean the kitchen...

Lali: Because you ppl don’t know how to use it. Look at me how I work. I keep things at their places after using it.

Ruju: He he he…forget it abt Chashmish coz she doesn’t know where half of the things lies in the kitchen!

Then everybody naturally started their activities as they do in daily routine. Lali started to cut vegetables, Chashmish dal, Ruju rotis, Chakudi rice and Chakli helping them all. Since they had 4 gas stove, they could cook all at once. After that, Lali went to cook dal and sabji(with limited oil of course!), 2 sisters started making rotis, Chashmish started cleaning, Chakli salad and chhas. In half an hour, meal was ready.
