Riya: - Uuh! uuhh uuhhh…
Arindam: - Ei Riya, what are you doing, my little girlfriend.
Riya: - Can’t you see, I am crying... uuh uhhh uuhh...
Arindam: - Yeh aasoo phoch dalo Riya, bcoz, I hate tears re…
Riya: - Oh! My little Rajesh Khanna, please stop flirting with me… uuu huu huu...
Both “Arindam” and “Riya” are the students of “Julien Day School, Kolkata”. They were practicing the “parade” for the coming “Republic Day” on 26th January 2009. “Riya” got injured, while she was playing with her elder sister, at her house. Now, she cannot walk properly also. But, she still came to the ground to see the practice.
Riya: - You know Arindam, “Sapna” madam has scolded me a lot. She said that, I am not fit for a country like India, because, if I am not able to participate in the parade, that means, I am not respecting my country… uuhh uuhhhh…
Arindam: - dhaath teri ki! You are such a “Paagli” girl. I know that lady, “Sapna” madam. She always forgets to brush up her teeth in the morning, and that is why when she opens her mouth in the class, always the garbage comes out. Just ignore those words and come with me. We will have some Ice-cream.
Ultimately, in 26th January 2009, everybody in that school participated in the parade, in different forms, some did march pass, some did cultural dance, etc etc. But, “Riya” was standing alone in one corner, with tears in her eyes. Because, the harsh words of “Sapna” madam, is still pinching her heart to cry. Actually, for a little student of Class VI, it is very difficult to forget those emotional scolding. At least, “Arindam” is a hooligan type, blacklisted, last bencher student of class VI, so, it hardly matters for him to “clean bowl” any teacher of the “Julien Day School.”But, that naughty boy also has a romantic heart. After the parade is over, he was searching for his “Riya”, and found her at the corner of the ground.
Arindam: - Ei, you idiot, you are still crying today.
Riya: - No, I am not crying today.
Arindam: - You just come with me. Come come.
“Arindam” took his beloved “Riya” with him and entered the “Head Principal’s” room. There, the School Inspector “Rahul” was having some tea and snacks. The School Principal “Robert” was surprised to see them.
Robert: - Well, Rahul, I told you know, about the famous little “Love-Birds” of our school. Let me introduce you. This is Arindam, and that is Riya.
Arindam: - Sir, my little girlfriend is crying, because she was unable to participate in the “Republic Day” parade and “Sapna” madam has given her all those idiotic lectures.Rahul: - Hello, Riya, come here my child. Why the hell are you crying? It is not the parade that you do in the “Republic Day”. What counts is the “Spirit of Republic Day”,that you are having in your heart.That one sentence surprisingly worked. Riya understood everything and shouted with a smile “JAI HIND Sir”.
