"There's something about childhood friends
that you just can't replace "
He is sitting near the lake's shore No one love him
his cousin makes fun of his tone his mom says when he ll grow up his speaking
tone will automatically become like others but why not Now ???he thinks and his
thought moves to his next a girl standing her arms crosses over her chest
looking angry .....

Jai ask her in his stammering tone (baby tone) not able to make sentence in
clear hindi ...
She looks down at him "Mela naam Tani hai (My
name is Bani ) same age Bani replies in same stammering tone yet angry tone..
Ale tum bhi meli talah totla bolti ho..tome sit
with me (hey you also stammer like me...come sit with me ) Jai replies with Joy
because he finds someone like him...
All her anger towards her friends and cousin who
teased her over her stammers ( baby tone ) vanishes when she heard Jai's voice

Tum taha lehti ho....(where do you live )..Jai asks
her while take a stone and throws in lake...

She nods her head...

Some teased him and he cried his mother cups his face and wipes his tears and
takes him in hug consoles him ....Hmm mute bhi yahi talna chahiye (hmm i should

He cups her face and wipes her tears and takes her
in his small hug She hugs him back
(her cousin sister's face comes in front of her
eyes when her cousin was hugging any boy at School she asked her cousin she
said My boyfriend)
both separates and Bani with the same innocence
" Hum Gl-friend Boy friend " hai kya...(are we girlfriend boyfriend ??)
Jai looks at her thinks of his favourite Tv
Advertisement of Mcdownland and mimics in same tone
(If anybody wants to see ad here is link

Jai laughs too and continues his mimicry "ESA
KYa then tik hai (Oh like this ok then ) then he shows her his cheeks he is
thinking that like TV ad Girl kisses the boy on cheeks So Bani ll kiss too
Bani laughs more on this....
He again points on his cheeks .....Bani shows him

"Childhood is a journey not Race "
12 year later
"What the hell" i just taught you and you
duffer forget it in seconds where the hell were you mind you brainless
jerk" Bani shouts on Jai and throws his notebook on his face stands up and
takes water and gulps in one go puts back the glass with huge thud sound and
comes again on the bed where both Jai and Bani practising thier Maths Sums
tomorrow their Maths Exam and Jai forget formula of (a+b)2= a2+b2+2ab
Jai who hides his face behind the book pops his
head like a scared kitten when he sees Bani's Red Angry face and hides again
From last 12 year Bani and he is best buddy They
went to same school and same class Jai protected her from bullies and Bani did
all his homework and school stuff to save him from his parents and teacher
Time passed like this but Both are inseparable Jai
is far away from study but he is creative he wants to became an architect like
this father but his biggest problem is Study upto class 9th Only Bani saved him
otherwise he ddnt even pass his 5th class exams Bani taught him one night
before exams and he passed on boundaries but Apart from her best buddy Bani is
so intelligent and Caring She wants to become Astronaut Jai teased her always
that She ddnt even carry herself how she ll carry A Spaceship .....
Back to present
Bani comes seat in front of him catches his book
and puts on bed Jai looks at her...
"Give me your mobile " Bani extends her
hand...
Jai knows what comes next he puts his mobile
in her hand without asking anything
She sees 4 message from sanjana and looks at him
again "So here were your mind "
Ohh Jai how many times i told you she is 2 years
older and dumbo failed 2 times in class 10 and still with us"
"She is Hot" Jai blurts out and bites his
tongue....
Bani throws his phone on bed and says "then
please go to her and she ll surly help you to pass this board exam " and
winks
No No i swear to our friendship i will
concentrate on study now lets start again Jai tells her
How many times i told you not to take fake Swear of
our friendship what If its break Bani yells him
Ohh that ll never happens thats why i he stops and
looks at Bani who is all red in anger
" Jai you are Pig" says this she hits him
with pillow he yells in pain
2 hour later
Almost done Jai now you can sleep i have to read
more She says to Jai...Jai who is waiting for this words falls in her
lap.....and murmurs Lori gaa do bus ab Bani mujhe acchi neend aa jaaegi to main
Kal exam acche se De paaunga (Now sing lullaby so that i can sleep peacefully
and my exam ll be rocking )
Bani who did same thing before the exam from past
12 years knows that however Jai shows his coolness in school and in front of
girls he is so scared before exam and the only way to put him sleep is
sign Lullaby
She starts Singing
Pal bhar thahar jaao
Dil ye sambhal
jaaye
Kaise tumhe roka karun
Meri taraf aata
har gham phisal jaaye
Aankhon mein tum ko bharun
Bin bole
baatein tumse karun
'gar tum saath ho..
Agar tum saath ho
She caress his forehead his eyes looks now
sleepy she sings more
Behti rehti..
Nahar nadiya si teri duniya mein
Meri duniya hai teri chaahaton mein
Main dhal jaati hoon teri aadaton mein
'gar tum saath ho
