ETUNAGARAM TOUR ( EPISODE - 14 )

Shivaji: - Sir, you cannot spot any animal while going in a jeep safari. These two forest guides will accompany you. You can enter inside this jungle by foot only. He is Bhiku and he is Narayan. They will take you inside the forest. Just go with them.

**********************

Prady: - This Narayan is a very smart guide. He talks less but is very sharp. But, this Bhiku is a perfect Maal-Kesto (Idiotic Drunkard). Look at the way he talks. He is drunk at this stage. The smell of the local alcoholic drink is coming out from his mouth.

Arindam: - Hey, boss, in which direction we need to go?

Narayan: - It’s better to take an auto from here. The point from where we will enter the jungle, is just 3 Km away from this place.

Prady: - Thik hain…toh phir ek auto ke liye idhaar wait kartey hain…

Narayan: - Nahi Saab…I need to go to the Etunagaram Bus stand to hire an auto.

Bhiku: - Give us 1 rubbali, Sir….

Arindam: - I think that he is asking for 10 bucks…Wait, I am giving that to him.

Bhiku: - No Sir, 1 rubbali means 100 bucks. 100 bucks for hiring the auto and you need to give another 100 bucks to us as the guide-charge.

Prady: - Ok, take these 100 bucks now and hire the auto as early as possible.

Bhiku:- Hey Narayan…Just go quickly to the Etunagaram Bus stand to hire an auto and come back here in that hired auto only. Sir, he will come back within 20 minutes. Till then, just sit inside that roadside garage of Khan Chacha.

**********************

Khan Chacha: - Oh! So you people have come from Warangal…good good…generally, people don’t come to tour this forest.

Arindam: - Why is this truck standing in front of your garage? It is blocking a portion of the bus road.

Khan Chacha: - Just 5 minutes ago, the front tyres of this truck got punctured. Don’t worry; there is enough space for a bus to pass through that remaining portion of the road. Hey, how long will you take to repair the tyres of your truck?

Truck Driver: - arrey, Khan Chacha…two front tyres are punctured. It will take time. There are some other problems also in the engine of this truck.

**********************

Narayan: - Come on, sir. Get inside the auto. Hey, Raaka, now, start the auto.

Prady: - Oh! The name of the auto driver is Raaka…he he he…pooro dakaat der naam…

********************

Bhiku: - Raaka, stop the auto here. Sir, we will enter the jungle from this point only. Give another 100 bucks, sir.

Arindam: - Ok, take it. Chalo bhaya...we have given you the amount which you demanded. Later, don’t ask for any money.

Bhiku: - Hey, Raaka…keep these 200 bucks with you, as we are entering jungle. Just wait here inside the auto. We will come out of the jungle within 1 hour. After coming out, I will take back the 100 bucks from you.

Raaka: - If I have to wait for more than 1 hour here, then I will charge more money, because, if I would have done my duty in Etunagaram Auto stand, then at least, I would have got 4 to and fro trips.

Narayan: - Don’t worry, we will come back within 40 minutes. Now, it is 3.35 PM.
