Our man hubby Abhi is going to have to roll up his T-shirt sleeves again ... here comes the next tsunami of the Sethi Parivaar ills ... all of Richa Sharma's robust singing fell on Matarani's deaf ears ... and the rest of her angelic, celestial court ... she's not about to get her hands dirty to help her fans ... 😕
Instead of the usual 'landing-in-the-nick-of-time-or-transported-a-la-Star-Trek-or-seek-out-target-like-heat-sensitive-missile' it was a welcome change to see Evil Anita lurking in the shadows as she seeks out the elder Dagar (his changed attitude towards his sinlaw a full-blown BBC Agatha Christie mystery of its own) ... and then slinks back into the dark so as not to be seen by the returning Neetu (her forgetting the effects of the 'India-banned-sure-to-turn-the-sanest-of-men-into-specimens-of irreversible-dementia' medication a full-blown BBC Dorothy Sayers mystery) ... 😕
'Are you bloody nuts???!!! I'm going to traipse back with you to bolster your accusation??!!! I'm smarter than I look y'know!!!' huffs off the Evil Anita ... N.S. Dagar puts on his computational/investigative hat ... Hmmm ... lemme see ... where can I dig up the dirt?! Hmmm ... 2 plus 2 plus 2 ... equals 6!! Hurrah Mr. Dagar! It will take him 80 mins for a round-trip to 33 Hauz Khas and back ... oh ... some 3.14 minutes (since it'll be a piece of pi) to locate his 'evidence' (Neetu is not as smart as she looks) ... the devotees will still be in their mesmerized state from all the dazzle, color, and smoke ... yup! Just enough time!! No full-blown BBC Ruth Rendell mystery this ... 😕
So, feral cat Mili and Mr. Beanstalk her prospective beau are off to a good start ... at least he had the good sense to bring a change of clothes ... our man hubby Abhi still sitting there in that sweat drenched T-shirt and jeans!! Good thing there was all the smoke from the incense to cover the stench ... poor fellow ... this time his chocolate moussess did not shed buckets to help him take a shower ... but, boy, did he buckle and melt after he had that 'V8 moment' (this means: slap your forehead and say 'Duh') ... how could he have been so mean??!!! Oh, come here sweetheart, let me wipe both your tears away ... 😭
Maybe we can all be a happy family again ... 😊
Uh ... no ... 😭
