Geṇḍyālā Gudgulyā (Rhinoceros-Tickling)

Ongoing G

Summary: Show: Piratīçā Vanavā Urī Peṭalā.

Arjun is marrying Savitri to obey his stepmother Krishna'i, but Savi's efforts to arouse reckless passion in Arjun and win his trust have been as futile as tickling a rhinoceros. Will Savi be able to fulfil her mission to trick Arjun into signing over his property to Krishna'i's brother Vishvambhar? As Savi grows closer to Arjun and his family, whose secrets will be laid bare? Author's Note: The title comes from Savi's line on the February 28, 2023 episode: Tyācyā manāta sympathy tayāra karaṇaṃ mhaṇaje nā geṇḍyālā gudgulyā karaṇyāsārakhaṃya!

I am challenging myself to write dialect for Kavathe-Bhairavgad (Sinnar Taluk, Nashik District), so please correct me if something is off! I try not to mix Marathi and English as the characters do on the show, but for the sake of character integrity, I am also trying to avoid non-vernacular diction.

I will not write Konkani dialogues for Vishvambhar's spirit-possessed wife because she is not entertaining on the show and so she doesn't exist in my story. Trigger Warning: Extent of Trigger Warnings : mild ; Trigger Warnings : fraudulent marriage, mentions of accident, violence, death, and infidelity.

Content Warnings : abstract sexual desires.
