Samuels was busy on preparation of the reports with Rian ,

and it was difficult to recover from all

those plane actions , the photographs most of which won't be given to print but kept

as collections , rare collections .... Rian will be the hot blood in writing the details ,

but somehow the pictures and videos were hard not to look back imagine , sit back

and smile ....

”no picture of Mia , Rian , it was her show , she who invited us “ ,

Rian shook his head , “what were you doing ? , in unofficial capacity “ ,

Samuels left the matter , the princess plane should do enough ....,

Samuels wanted to have his pic with that white red stripped plane at the princess garage .

Being a writer of his sort , he is never allowed anything nice and interesting like

sports reporting . Rian's main task now is to relax , travel to West Indies and do the

cricket world cup reporting , it made Samuels angry , he is been working non-stop

expect for the past few weeks while he was solely busy in the princess story .

Well its better to retire in a little county , sunny , howdy village where no news

happens , and news paper news at the morning would be that a cat at Mr ...so and so's

house had given birth to 4 kittens ....

Anyway this was a deserving event for Samuels , even if the horse race event went

a miss , no one other that person was interested in it .

Documentary and commentary was the field Samuels wanted to be , not really

current affairs , thats why Samuels works more on T.V news videos , the ones he

works on hard , and just a bit of it would be on news display for 2 or three minutes ....

his news agency , N23 times started its news channel N23 just 1 year back .

Mr Ross boss recruited him at first site in the airport while Edward's sister jumped

running after Ross for his autograph ...., he used to be on talk shows on BBC world ,

the ruthless journalists who made general Musharuf shiver , and Mr Bush stammer

(like an idot ) , and poor Ganguly cry and sweat (talking about the time when the poor

fellow that no hope to be on the cricket team ) .

Mr Ross hurrying to the check in, and Gilly Nike who jumped and accepted Edwards bet

in getting a autograph of Ross ....

She could not proceed to ask as Ross was cross legged

reading a news paper , and on this Samuels proceeded taking his little sister with him ....

“You are Ross from BBC world ? , it can't be ? , no it can't be ....”, Nike was breathless ,

when Ross put his newspaper a level down looking at Nike and answering softly , “yes “,

“sir we love your talk show and BBC world would never be the same without you ,

why , why did you leave “ . Samuels knew his “stupid little sis “ , was going overbound ,

but he kept smiling and looking away .

Roy looked at his watch and smiled , “Mr Simons is doing a good job replacing me ,

you must have heard I am starting a news channel of my own “.

Samuels thought , everybody knows it was ego , Ross fought with Pranov Roy

another popular journalist for BBC and left BBC , one reason Samuels was not

unlike his sister fond of Ross .

“what would be its name sir “ , Nike sat with her notebook next to Ross very eagerly ,

only her pen did not write which she was not aware of .

“not decided its name should start around October “

“autograph ? sir “ ....”sure “ , Ross tried signing but with movements it only danced ,

on which Ross looked at Nike , Nike with a apologetic face looked at her brother

and her brother with a “what the heck” , expression gave his pen to Ross ....

Ross took it and scribbled and Nike took it, trying to read it but nothing made sense ....

“thank you sir , my brother , I wish he becomes a journalist like you “,

on which Samuels nudged Nike to shut up ,”you should see his notes ,

most often does researches on his own , look at these , in his hols he has

been after cars discovering their engineering details , car interiors ,

writing about them “,

Ross looked at them , a crazy man of cars himself , what impressed him was

the inside work , this young fellow has researched hard on car feel , interiors ,

besides all popular models on road , he was impressed ,

“he was caught by some fellow , who thought my bro was a investigator while

he was looking and examining the car ....”,

“good work , your an engeernear “ , Ross cut her short ,

“no sir , a writer , photographer completed my masters in history “

“oh “ , Ross turned the pages of the notebook further while Nike

was turning into Samuel's disinterested mood and Samuels into Nike's eager mood .

It had notes on how the city of Illos had changed from before with over bridges ,

and list of school buses and stops ....all this fellow did in mornings instead of sleeping

was walk around observing kids waiting in stops and researching into what school

buses came and even worst , even timings when they returned were there complete ,

in almost all areas of Illos which was a big , big place ....

A total list of 300 schools and stops in .....

the other pages he turned were his interview with Sowrov , Dravid and Lara

that he met somewhere in accident ...., Ross turned more of every page ,

and another page was full of details of what prices vegetables were at various areas ,

along with the quality of vegetables and his ratings ....

“You would make a good journalist thought of it , Samuels right ?”,

“No “ . Ross asked Samuels for his car research notes and Samuels promised

to courier it to his company .

Nike shook hands after her brother and it so happened Samuels began talking

of his little everyday adventures that he had while whenever in his research hobby ,

no one ever bothers to listen to him when he talks about them ....

and so mostly the young man was a quite

observer of things , unnoticed and almost invisible to world ....,

like so many times he had traveled without tickets and the ticket

taker would not ask him ,

and he attracted least attention (yes even of the girls , was he unattractive? ).

Ross was talking about how he was earlier very similar to Samuels and his adventures ,

Nike was standing and looking at them both ....

“we have to board , Samuels , sir privilege meeting you , wish I had a camera to

have a photograph of you “

“don't worry Samuels would give you details compensating for no photograph ,

and Samuels your recruited to work for me , right away you can write articles

for my newspaper , and you will get pay too “

Samuels right away jumped and wrote the necessary details , shaking hands ,

and telling it was great meeting Ross , that those talk shows were great ,

and BBC won't ever be the same without Ross .

That was years back , 2 years back now that Samuels recalls and growth of

himself tremendous from that point ...., Samuels contacted Ross and joined

the team , he was not going against Pranoy Roy , but he was being a part

in doing service to his country , being part of the four pillars of democracy ,

he was along side Pranoy Roy ....and later Samuels felt he had less freedom

at work here , lesser pay , and was freer earlier ....heck no point .

He does part time story writing , the first of which is the princess series ....

and he should later direct and video this , when he collects enough savings .

The plane videos would be his todays job ...., the one he is excited as Rian

to comment on but he would not publicize it , it would be his treasured collection ,

a reminder of hobbies he had earlier , just for the fun , thrill , love of it ,

it was not a job , it was not work ....now it was work that bound him and made

him forget that feel , even if that was priceless ....

Strange ! , always have a pursuit and desire for something which may seem

for now impossible to do or achieve but think of at back of mind ....

After the flashback , Samuels called his sis up , in college still and in dreams

of becoming a traveler someday , doing her science subjects also to have

options open for becoming a vet ....young blood ....so much time , opportunities

to learn and then thats the only way to understand .

“hey , Nike , whats up , you know I saw the princess air show and also you know what.... “,

“you sound too excited , ok what shes getting married ?”

“your amazing , how do you know that “

“what ? ! “.... Samuels laughed , and Nike would not believe ....

“ok , and the air show , you never bothered to tell me before , don't tell me

your getting married to the princess “

“well.....” , Samuels kept dragging ,” ah , read it in the papers , see in the news

you know the channel “

“your not ! , tell me all about it , you won't tell unless you want news to spread “

“your the first and last I am telling in person , and yeah anyway news will spread

tomorrow , why not let my sis have the privilege of being the first to know “

“how sweet , what are you expecting from me bro , ummmmm.....”

“I will mail you the pic , and the princess plane too “

“no , would prefer your pic , bet your put on weight “

Samuels made a noise , like damn she was right , he's been not bothered

about his tommy and also his looks .

So they talked and later that night was spent getting the airshow story ,

and Rian already had his version written and got approval .

So Rian got his place in his job fixed , like Ganguly got his place in the team

to play for the world cup which Rian fellow will be there for ....

Well and the princess story is postponed to be completed , this Samuels

fellow has better things to do than finish the series off , yeah sorry forks ,

Samuels sits to finish the story but theres something or other to interrupt....

so bear with him will you ? , this episode had so little of the princess ,

cos theres so little of the princess left ....have patience , to know the missing

piece in the princess story that already finished , I mean princess Illena 's ....

see you next episode Samuels is happy after that refreshing chit-chat with his sis ,

and too busy with the plane tv presentation .
