I would just like to state that this is not true. Whatever I said earlier holds good and I stand by that. Has Ms.Re Re experienced being both a house wife and a professional and managed it. As she has not done so, it is difficult for her to imagine it even... Its a very fine balancing act and one does need to do it with finesse. We cannot afford to relegate that particular days work to the next day as things would accumulate and spiral away beyond our control then. What she has not realized is we can afford to take a break from the professional work but not from the household responsibilities. It is a 24x7 job and in the end you might not even be appreciated for your work. But all said and done it needs to be done!
Your Honor, I'll still reserve my right to cross-examine at a later stage...
Judge: (looks at Re Re with sympathy as if to indicate that you are done then looks with pride at his councillor) Councillor I believe I have heard everything and we will...
Re Re: Judge... wait a minute
Judge: What the... Are you interrupting me while I am talking... Do you want to be held in contempt and served with more punishment than what I am already planning for you...
Re Re: Judge, keep your what the on the side... but out of curiosity are you a fan of the TV serial iss pyaar ko kya naam doon??? You sure swear like ASR
Judge: (thinks... How the devil she knows about IPKKND, because my wife is addicted I was forced to watching that show but how does this girl know that? Some kind of witchcraft like the clark feared) What...
Re Re: I apologize your honor, I did not mean to interrupt and also did not mean to make any reference to IPKKND) but you have to give me a chance to clear my name and even the councillor had made further allegations against me... My virtual friends are waiting with their breath held to find out the outcome of this case...and
Judge: Re Re you are seriously starting to annoy me now...and how the devil your virtual friends know about the going on in my court room
Re Re: Your honour let me introduce you to this wonderful technology called internet... See that girl over there (points to the far back corner of the courtroom and show a girl who reminds the judge about ASR only in a female version) she is verbatim transcribing everything that is happening in the courtroom to our chat club
Judge: (addressing the young girl) You.. get up... What is your name?
Girl: Do you want my real name or my UN
Judge: What the.. You another lost cause like Re Re here...
Girl: Do not say anything offensive Judge... For your kind information she is MY RE RE and I will not tolerate any slander against her name... After all it is my creation...
Judge: (looks at the girl with fear as her assertive tone reminds him of ASR again) Look here young lady... I am the judge here and this is my court room... I can say anything I want and...
Girl: No Judge you can't. I am a citizen of USA and I can sue you either in this country or in USA or in an international court.. don't tempt me as I will very well carry out what I am saying...
Judge: How dare you? You are just seconds away from being held in contempt.. Are you a supported of this Re Re
Girl: No your honour... I too am a mother and a professional and have crazy schedule.. I am an impartial observer and my job is to report everything as it is without prejudice
Judge: In that case you may sit down and try not to make any noise with that gadget in your hand... Re Re let's get back to you...
Re Re: As I was saying your honour I believe that the councilor is singing the same song in a different tune...
Judge: There was singing in my courtroom? when did this happen?
Re Re: That was a metaphor judge... What I meant was councillor is restating her same point in a different perspective but refusing to hear my side of the argument... I have great respect for professional women, mothers, mothers turned to professional women and professional women turned to mothers...
Judge: unbelievable man...
Re Re: But I stand by my statement as my argument is though they all do a fine balancing act and are better than some of the rope walkers in the circus, what I am saying is they see a light at the end of the tunnel but my statement is not related to any of that...
Rashmi: Objection...
Judge: (in a resigned tone) now what councilor?
