I think it is Js fault that the situation got out of hand.
He needed to be a little more sensitive towards "Gauri management techniques"
1. I think he should really have invested a couple of days in convincing gauri, getting her buy-in and only then going to jayetsar. But he slipped off.
2. After going there, he never called her. She was the one making all the phone calls and even if he did call her -- it was only after seeing 200 missed calls on his phone.
3. He never gave her a true picture of the phone situation -- even a simple thing like badi masi has confiscated his phone or something would have been enough. And whenever anandi did give him the phone every night, he could have called her at night.
4. Each phone call to gauri is cut short by some accident or the other happening to anandi, whereby he shouts "anandi" throws the phone away and just runs off.
5. Never once told her a firm coming back date.
So obviously, what is she supposed to think? Now he accuses her of being jealous -- but how much has he done to fuel all that?
And quite frankly, he was reluctant to go back even after the puja. Had things not evolved the way they did -- then he would easily have spent two more months there.
It was obvious that at some point gauri would most definitely show up there. 😕
