Are you sure you dont wanna come along? Will you gals manage all by yourselves? mom asked as they left with just me and Ron(my best friend) at home for a few hours before they would be back. It was some family affair and I had managed to excuse myself from it so that we execute our plan. You dont worry. We would have a good time. We have to catch up on many things since long. I said with a beaming smile. We were going to have a good time indeed. And we did have a lot of catching up to do after allIthought as I winked at Ron who came just before my folks were about to leave. They finally left and it was time for action!

You sure about the name of the movie? Well anyways the name itself says it all. JISM. I saidand we giggled as I dialed the number of the CD guy. Phew its so good that we have to ask for it on the phone.. Ron said. Yes. Of corse it would be too embarrassing to ask for it in person. Gosh.. what would he think of us?I asked her ..craving for the much needed re-assurance. Its ok allgrown-ups should do this once.. she said in a soothing tone that took away all my guilt. We both were waiting for the CD guy with an anticipation that would beat that of a guy waiting for his blind date..hands down!!

We both were from a gals convent school and good gals to add to it. We did attend a few sessions on sex education when in school. It did nothing but give us a hazy picture of the concept with a lot many unanswered Ifs and Buts. But we were quite sure that most of it is done by gals and guys for their vested interests!! We took these so-called opinions to college only to be laughed at by our fellow-mates who seemed to know much more than we did. It did lead to a few embarrassing moments which had rendered us dumb and confused in every discussion we had on this!! We always wondered how they managed to gather so much knowledge after all. They might have their sources m sure. But we would be no less I thought. Now it sure was time to come out of that good gal mould and really start acting grown-up. We had just celebrated our 18^th birthday and were free to do grown-up stuff now. JISM had just released and the name (and a few promos) itself had given us our source.

And thats how I and my best buddy had planned to watch our very first adult movie together promising each other never to let it out to anybody. We were the perfect sisters' in crime!!

TING TONG.. the bell rang and we both ran to the door with a pang of nervous excitement followed by goose bumps. Wish there was a way we could manage to take that CD without actually facing the guyIthought. I opened the door took the CD in my hand without looking at the guy and somehow started hurriedly closing the door behind him just so that no-one watched me with the immoral CD!! And ...Uh-oh.look whos at the door.. Mr. Iyer (my neighbor whom I always greeted with my sweetest and most courteous of smiles).. Staring at me curiously trying to peep into the CD..!!! GOSH.. ..what timing.could he see the title on the CD????? ohh mannn.. now he will know m not a good gal ohhh what if he tells my dad..?????????.. Hey kid wats up?....I saw your mom dad going out somewherehmmmmsoyou seem to be having a good time with your friend..???? he asked looking at Ron as she peeped from behind my shoulders.trying to act innocent. Hey.what is that in your hand?hmmmmm planning for a movie looks like..so which movie is it???.Phew. he didnt see the name. so I can just say some name..hmm.thats easy..well.what do I say????.....uh..think thinksome hindi movie.okSOME movie.. goshCANT U NAME SOME MOVIE..Ron started looking at me with that say-some-name-please look and I felt as if I was CAUGHT IN TIMEmy mind felt numb..Hehehe!!. I laughed nervously looking at him. As if I had not heard his question... I asked. What movie is it? he said again ..Huh?? was all I could answer..What movie are you watching young lady? he repeated say some movie nameu dumb gal. bollywood comes up with 100 thousand movies every yearNAME one movie youuuI had gone completely BLANK. Mr. Iyer seemed to appear all the more curious and even a bit impatient.. Ron was just about able to come to terms with my ridiculous behavior. and.. JISM. I blurted out!

Gosh. what did I just do????????????????????what had happened to my bollywood quotient????? I couldnt think of a single movie in the half minute of awkward silence that we were just caught in?????????????????????????????????????

Guess even Mr. Iyer fell short of words and could just blurt out.. Oh well..good good!!..before he strode away from the scene as fast as he could.

I closed the door behind him and hung my head in guilt coming to terms with what I had just done. It felt like the thief who had committed his very first theft and had suddenly realized his offense after being caught red-handed!!! What was that? Ron shouted in disbelief You dint remember a single movie???????????????????? like a dumb ass I could only say.. I know.but that half minute felt like ages of nothingness and JISM seemed to be the only movie released in the history of cinema!!!

We thought of watching the movie anyways....trying to forget what had just happened. as Ron consoled me that things were not as bad after allwe were ADULTS!! I did try to somehow make myself watch the movie with John Abraham and Bipasha Basu huffing and puffing and rolling over each other..making weird noises. But I had a tougher time battling with the thoughts of Mr. Iyer standing in the corner of every scene, looking at me in disgust and telling me Oh my.look at what you are watching. And I used to think you were a good gal..!!
