He is stirring is drink while waiting in a lobby of a five star hotel in Delhi....

"Mr rajveer sheekhawat...Mr gehlot will meet you now.."his face hides a tinge of anxiousness as well a resentment that arrive on it as soon as he meets the man..
"So I was saying that the political reforms and policies of the functioning govt should be transparent to the common people..."he was busy with the interviewer of a famous news channel while rajveer quietly joined them making room for himself on the adjoining sofa....

He calmly observes how a composed his mentor is when wired and interviewed ...lala of bansher known to be the most diplomatic and calm yet most powerful political leaders of the opposition ....its his 6 th interview since morning....Raj is amazed by the amount of patience he seems to have on the telescereen...for he knows well N.D gehlot is the most reckless man one can meet...

Corridors of power of defense as well as ministry seem to shiver in his presence...yet his humble behaviour never lets a finger to be laid upon him.....

"I am sorry ...I might have to ask you to end the interview as my son is waiting for so long...."he politely declines the journalist...
"Lala sahab one last question please"
"I am sorry young lady .....but whatever discussions and queries you have ..you drop them with my p.a Mr Sharma.i shall respond to them.when time permits......"he blows her off quickly...

"Aah...these journalists are no less than leeches.....(no offense to any journalist ) ....aapse Milne ke liye to aajkal appointment Leni padti hai barkhuddar"he says in a typical style turning to rajveer...

"Kyun sharminda Kar rahe Hain lala sahab..aap se mulakat hona to Meri khushkismati hai"he sugarcoats....

"Tum Delhi aao aur hamein Pata na chle .....aisa hua hai kabhi..."he hugs him warmly ......

"Aapne yaad kiya ..koi khaas wajah"rajveer asks seriously. He knows the man does nothing without an agenda

"Kyun. Hum apne muh bole bete se milna chahte the Bhai. ...Kya ye wajah kafi nai hai"a sly smile creeps on rajveer's face ....everything about the man was a facade....his emphasis on calling rajveer his son.. yet never missing the prefix muh bola...in a nutshell..the man was politics personified....

After a considerably breif catching up ......rajveer finally takes his leave ...and as he heads towards the lobby Arvind Sharma blocks his way....

"We need to discuss something captain"he says in his usual serious tone..
"Dude's really got no chill...has he Sheila..."he ignores him royally mad heads on to flirt with Sheila one of gehlot's staff..
"How have you been..."she warmly greets him.

"Exactly how you had left me last time....missing your jawani"he replies with a smirk..

"Raj. This is serious.."Arvind groans...

"Alright mom...'rajveer groans back in a rueful tone..

"There has been a petition filed in the army court to reopen Naveen Singh ahluwalia's case...again ."

"Someone seems to be intrested in digging corpses......I don't know how can this happen twice in a year...."he hyperventilates..

"You seriously need to hire more people dude.whatever I am supposed to do with all this..."rajveer barely interested...."do what you did with the guy who filed it last time..and spare me the boredom.."

"We have been tracking down the sources from which this could have happened....and it might intrest you to know...whatever happened ....was done in your territory....the letter was from kma.."he clears..and rajveer's expressions change ..

"You sure..'rajveer asks..

"Someone has been doing this right under your nose rajveer while you are busy fucking ......lala sahab won't appreciate a scandal not when elections are so close .."he tries to make him understand gravity of the situation.

"There has to be a scandal to appreciate it in first place.stop making mountain out of a molehill Sharma..I ll handle it...."he doesn't like working under supervision ... that's what Sharma knows well about rajveer.

"Does gehlot sahab know.."he asks narrowing her eyes ..
"Why do you think he called you on a cozy lunch in a five star in middle of election campgain.... election ke waqt to wo apne sage beti ki shakal bhool jate hai..."sharma's sarcasm bites rajveer in his butt ..

"Toh....Bhai rajveer ..i came to bid you final goodbye son...."lala meets him on his way to airport....

"I expect the mess to be cleared by the time I return from the rally Sharma.."he says seriously..

"Don't worry about it sir. .you focus on election campaign ...let the trivialities be handled by me..." He assures lala...
"You know Raj.its the trivial issues that prove to be devastating during elections...I truly consider you as someone I can confide in. .. don't disappoint my faith in you son...'it seems as a weird mix of advise and a threat...but pretty much everything lala speaks seems that way..so he hides his obvious anxious look....this wasn't trivial...he knows it well
