I agree with all that you have said here,Anne, especially what you would like to do to Chandra for throwing that thali away in such a brutal manner.😡 Nandini's face was a study in shock, almost trauma. It was an extension, and a stronger version of her reaction when he yells at her when she brings the books to his room.
Now let us see what is the bridging factor between the end of the pooja and Nandini arriving for Chandra's aashirwaad, Also if she actually faints right then and there, which would 'larn Chandra good and proper.
Oh, the initials. That is a longish story. Now, I am old fashioned, and I do not like 20 somethings and 30 somethings calling me by my first name. So I tell people to choose whatever would be age appropriate, and in some cases, like Prem and Khalessi75, when I discovered that they were at college, I requested them to call me Aunty, and they started doing that. Now Anil calls me Shyamalaji, and as I cannot sign myself off as Shyamalaji😉, I use my full name, which has now been abbreviated, for the sake of convenience, to my initials. That is it!
Shyamala Aunty
