"Behind every dramatic intern is a savage brother and a sarcastic soul sister cheering (or roasting) her on."

Later that evening...

Jyoti flopped on her hostel bed like a defeated warrior.

Video Call: Incoming - Unnati

She picked up.

Unnati: "Ohooo! Look who's alive! How was Day 1, Dr. Thakur?"

Jyoti (groaning): "Bas chal raha hai... ya keh lo main OT se seedha outer space chali gayi."

Unnati: "Batao toh sahi. Kya kiya? Patient ke brain mein WhatsApp install kar diya kya?"

Jyoti: "Worse. Sneeze maar diya. Aur tray udaa di. Instruments wall pe jaake lage. Ek dustbin mein chala gaya. Vijay sir ne mujhe aise dekha jaise main Apollo se nahi, circus se aayi hoon."

Unnati (laughing): "Kya baat hai! India's Got Talent mein ja sakti ho-'Surgical Acrobatics with Dr. Jyoti!'"

Jyoti: "Tu hasi maar le. Mujhe toh lag raha internship ke badle cleaning staff bana denge mujhe."

Unnati: "Wahi toh teri hidden talent hai! Tools ko airborne bana diya. Brain surgery next level."

Jyoti: "Aur tu jaanti hai kaun mera mentor nikla?"

Unnati: "Kaun? Coffee wala grumpy uncle?!"

Jyoti (nodding dramatically): "The one and only. Dr. Vijay 'Coffee-Killer' . Jab tak mein PG complete karungi na, mujhe ho jayega PTSD-Post Traumatic Surgical Disaster."

Unnati: "Tera life toh full TV series ban gaya hai. Naam bhi soch liya hai-'Interns of Madness: Featuring Dr. Drama Queen'."

Jyoti: "Unnu, tujhe samajh nahi aata yeh sab serious hai!"

Unnati (grinning): "Serious toh Vijay sir dikhte hain, tu toh full comedy track chal rahi hai."

Jyoti: "Bas kal ke liye dua kar. Kahi scalpel ke badle sir ko hi na chot lag jaye..."

Unnati: "Waisi baat hai toh tu helmet pehen ke OT jaaya kar."

They both burst into laughter.

Unnati: "And listen, you've got this. Everyone messes up. At least tumne style mein kiya."

Jyoti (smiling): "Tu toh sach mein meri stress relief hai, Unnu Kabhi kabhi lagta hai tujhe psychiatrist banana chahiye tha bekar mein hi cardiologist bann gayi tu toh"

Unnati: "Aree nahi! tum logon ka case dekh ke lag raha hai baat dil thak aahi jayegi ."

Just as Jyoti finished laughing with Unnati...

Call Waiting - Atharav (a.k.a "The Roast King")

She merged the call.

Jyoti: "Aree lo! Ab ye aagaya mera dard mein namak chhidakne wala bhai!"

Atharav (grinning): "Suna tu OT mein surgical stunt kar rahi hai? NASA se call aaya kya?"

Unnati: "Haan bhai, ek sneeze mein poora tool tray uda diya. Surgeon nahi, hurricane hai humari behen."

Jyoti (mock annoyed): "Main ek baar galti karun aur tum dono mujhe Memes of India bana do?"

Atharav: "Galti? Tu toh full medical mujra kar rahi thi OT mein. Patient se pehle surgeon unconscious ho jaye, yeh naya trend hai kya?"

Jyoti: "Tu mil mujhe ghar pe, main tere dono knees test karungi. Without anesthesia."

Atharav: "Chhoti si sneeze mein tray uda diya... kal yawn karegi toh ventilator ud jaayega kya?"

Unnati (laughing): "Hospital waale intern ke saath saath insurance bhi dena chahiye tujhe."

Jyoti: "Tum dono toh dusman nikle mere! Bas Vijay sir ka gussa kam hota toh..."

Atharav (mock serious): "Dekh, woh Vijay sir jo coffee wala uncle nikla na-uska character mujhe shady lag raha hai."

Unnati: "Ayyyeee! Matlab agar wo hot bhi ho toh permission chahiye?"

Atharav: "Haan! Intern ho tum log, Romeo-Juliet nahi. Main pehle interview lunga uska."

Jyoti (dramatic sigh): "Mere life mein love se zyada scalpel ghoom raha hai abhi. Relax karo dono."

Unnati: "Love aayega... OT ke gloves ke beech se aayega."

Atharav: "Bas pehle tu kuch tod mat dena... jaise hospital ka faith in interns."

They all burst into laughter again, the tension of the day finally breaking.

Jyoti: "Tum dono ho toh lagta hai main theek ho jaungi. Ya kam se kam haske OT mein doobungi."

Unnati: "Teri love story mein drama hona zaroori hai."

Atharav: "Aur tu heroine hai... toh bloopers free mein aayenge."

Jyoti: "I swear, mere sapne mein bhi tray gir raha hai. PTSD chal raha hai mujhe."

Atharav (grinning): "PTSD nahi, PGTS-Post Grumpy Teacher Syndrome."

Unnati: "Achha tu bata toh sahi, yeh Vijay sir kya cheez hai? Itna strict kyun hai?"

Jyoti: "Ajeeb banda hai yaar. Grumpy, intimidating, aur har baat mein sarcasm. I mean, banda coffee bhi aise pita hai jaise world war jeet ke aaya ho."

Atharav (suddenly curious): "Ummm....Waise sunn na yeh Vijay sir.......... Vijay Kushwaha hai kya ?"

Jyoti (pauses mid-rant): "Haan! Dr. Vijay Kushwaha. Why?"

Unnati (confused): "Wait......WHAT?! Tumhara mentor ka naam Vijay Kushwaha hai?"

Jyoti (deadpan): "Haan, aur uska sarcasm free mein aata hai."

Atharav (eyes wide): "Bhai wahi Vijay? Mera neighbor, dost, gym partner, coffee ke naam pe critic... wohi Vijay?!"

Unnati: "OMG! Tera woh grumpy Hitler sir... mera bhai jaisa Vijay bhaiya hai?!"

Jyoti (horrified): "NOOOO! Tum dono usse jaante ho?!"

Atharav (laughing uncontrollably): "Jaanta hoon? Usne meri graduation pe speech diya tha! Aur tum dono ek dusre ko pehle mil chuke ho... yaad hai? That wedding function, tum dono takraaye the!"
