MATCH OR NO MATCH

' ' ' Your brain is a hotel and these songs they're all like tenants and at some point, they've been there for so long and they're really not paying rent and they are kind of trashing the place. That's why you need to release a new album to evict them ' ' ' 
-- Eddie Vedder

/* Everyone is sitting in the living room doing their own thing */ 

Sid: London Vyakran

# Kabilan thinks for a second and says

Kabi: London Grammar?

Sid: Eh! Chotti chotti baatein pakadne lag gaya hai chotu, test kar raha tha.

# HE walks in wearing HIS new Vegeta t-shirt

Kabi (Shocked): Yeh t-shirt kidhar se aya bey?

HE: Ha ha

Kabi: I am serious

HE: My friend got it from Chicago.

# Kabi looks at HIM angrily

Kabi: Why did you never show it to me before?

# HE points at Kabi's face and says

HE: To see THIS reaction on your face!

# Kabilan sits down despondently

HE (Patronizing): Don't worry, the green color suits you too.

Kabi (Angrily): Chup lode!

# HE laughs sadistically

HE: C'mon guys! Match dekhne nahi jana kya?

# HE rallies as HE looks at himself in the mirror

Anudeep: Chalo!

Sid: I am ready

/* Kabilan, Anudeep, Sid and HIM hurry to catch the match on time */

Sid: Bhai, tum log gadi park karo mai susu karke aya

Anudeep: Okay

# The three walk into the bar all pumped up chatting with each other

Anudeep: Only 5 minutes to kick off. Barca vs Atletico, IT IS ON!

Kabi: Atletico will breeze past them.

Anudeep: Mu band rakh apna.

# As they walk in they are dumbstruck {and what a cracking shot by Dhoni! Sit back, this one is going down to the wire}

# The three of them just stand looking at the projected cricket match. 

# Sid walks in 

Sid: Kya hua?

# He looks at their faces then looks ahead

--- [10 MINUTES LATER] IN THE CAR ---

Anudeep (Frustrated): Sala, Sports Lite me hamesha IPL hi chalta hai! Matlab duniya me aur koi sport nahi hai kya?

HE: What do we do now?
Sid: Mere ghar chalte hain, at least we'll get to see the 2nd half properly.

# As they all walk up the stairs 

Kabi: Does anyone know what the score is ?

Anudeep (Immediately): Nobody is going to reveal the score! I don't want to know the score!

Kabi: Okay, we won't tell YOU the score.

Anudeep: 😩 Abhi dekh lena na score! 2 minute ki hi toh baat hai.

# They enter the house and turn on the channel. 44' Atletico 1-0 up

Anudeep: Fuck yaar! Fuck this Saul Niguez!

Kabi: Why is Barca playing 4-4-2?

Sid: How do you know Saul scored?

Anudeep (Vehemently): I know Saul scored. I just know.

HE: Godin must have made the most interceptions, obviously.

Sid: But Barca has more possession.

Anudeep: 😠 Match dekh lo yaar, analysis karna hai!

# As Anudeep says that, it's half time

Sid: 😏 Le dekh le match.

Sid: Who's up for beer?

Kabi: Me

Anudeep: Me

HE: Me

Sid: Help yourselves

HE: Bakchod.

# They all get beers and sit outside in the balcony

# The 2nd half is about to start and there's power cut

Anudeep (Frustrated): Kya Yaar!! Din hi kharaab hai!

# All three of them laugh beside him

Anudeep: Waise bhi Barca haar gaya yeh match 

Kabi (Pacifying): It's okay dude. Remember last time I didn't watch the North London derby cuz of my asshole manager. It's alright, bro!

Sid (Interrupting): Wow! Neymar almost equalized

HE: I feel Bale is better than Neymar. Neymar is overrated.

Sid (Argues): Tell me you're not serious

HE: What? Bale's more physical.

Anudeep (Chipping in):  Bale has had 17 injuries in the past 4 years. So much for being physical.

HE: Yeah, but he's a potential match-winner

Anudeep: Yeah, but £84 million for that kind of talent. No way.

Kabi: You guys will also be going for Bellerin, right? Seems like he's the ideal replacement for Dani Alves

Anudeep (Confidently): Arsenal won't let him go. Wenger pakad k baita hai usko.

Sid: Barca should buy Kyle Walker instead.

Kabi: Joke mara?!

# Sid laughs, teasing Kabi

Sid: Then they should buy Eriksen and Kane and replace their manager with Pochettino

Kabi: Just like Arsenal bought Ronaldo, Mbappe and Pogba

Sid: At least we bought Sanchez and Ozil

HE (Interrupts): Fir bhi kya ukhaad liya?

Sid: Oh please, talk to me when Klopp wins a trophy.

# HE laughs it off and looks at Anudeep sitting next to HIM
# Anudeep is silent and looking down on his phone, where there's a picture of a girl with a guy

SID: Abhi tak light aa jana chaiye tha. I'll go down and check with the neighbors kya chal raha hai? Chal Kabi!

Kabi (Imitates Salman): 😫 Kitni mehenat karate ho yaar! 

# HE says to Anudeep

HE: Baat hui teri Ananya se?

Anudeep: No.

HE: You and Ananya were good together, but.. your life isn't that bad without her!

Anudeep: I don't know..

# Anudeep just stars at the pic

Anudeep: Sometimes I just feel like... why even be happy when eventually you're going to be sad. It's not worth it. I mean I like the feeling of being in love but. . . this!

# HE looks confused for a second and says

HE: Wait a minute, you thought holding her hand, kissing her, being with her that's what it was all about? That was love?

Anudeep (Confused): Yeah, why?

HE: You fool! Missing her, caring for her, wanting to die that's what love is! We don't realize it, but this is what we all want. . . the sweet sadness of love.

Anudeep: I thought this was the bad part

HE: No! The bad part is coming, the bad part is when you forget her, stop caring about her. So savor this part, everything will be just fine.

# HE gets a notification on HIS phone, HE checks it

HE: Suarez ne equalizer mara!!!

Anudeep (😃): Kya?!

#  As he says that, the power comes back.

# Sid and Kabi dart into the living room

Kabi (Excited): Bhai wo aunty kya paadi hai bhaiii, kya paadi!!

HE: Kaun aunty?

Sid: Arey, niche wali moti aunty.

Kabi: Arey full toxic bhai, mast paadi!

HE: Haan, thik hai beer leke aa.
