Dear Nisha,

I am possibly the most Super quiet of your readers.
I have been a regular and not many know of my existence in IF. Belong to no clique but I'm proud to say I brought one of your regular readers to IF and therefore indirectly to your thread.

I'm quiet simply because I don't have a lot to say. Barely anything positive about II's family - because like Raman I'm the outsider in a Iyer family and love my Husband to bits 😳 and you could easily replace my husband's name with II's and mine with RnB ( although I'm no VC I'm an IB if that helps and a non-Punjabi).

I break my silence to share a little personal stuff. My husbands Appa is ditto II's dad. Full of my Son this my Son that while both of us are just as educated and busy with our careers. Reading where II's Dad comes from changed the way I thought the Iyer dad in my life. And I think we are finally now on a path that has a lot less heart burn for both sides. I dont cry as much as your II does but I'm almost there
😉. But thankfully my Husband is a talker and therefore lives to see another day!

Today's update takes me bang to my in law's and I can almost smell the kadala paruppu Sundal at my In laws place in Karol Bagh 😲

Oh! My goodness

Thanks very much. Appa is a flawed man much like R&B is, we are all shades of grey. some are darker some lighter. While I dont write this story to teach "zindagi ka sahi raasta" to any one😳 I am pleasantly surprised and happy to see u have carved a path to undertake this journey on.

Ur in laws are from Karol Bagh?
I had extended family on my Dad's side for the longest time near Beadonpura, Guru Ravi Das Marg and Hardhyan Singh Rd😳... years ago though, its been over two decades they moved to Secunderabad

Sigh!!!

Thanks for reading

And write when ever you feel like

Just as I posted, something struck me, its a family tradition for us to go do Deepavali shopping at Karol Bagh and ONLY Karol Bagh, we did it for YEARS... Ajmal Khan Rd is extremely dear to me. I dont think I care for the Malls even 1% as much I love AK Rd...

Incidentally, Appa would take us on Saraswati Pooja (9th day of Navratri) evening for Karol Bagh shopping, he would buy us material for suits and then buy us a sumptuous chhholey bhature at Roshan di hatti followed by gulab jamun... YUMMM and Sigh!!!!

Thank you for reminding me of the sentimental tradition on such a special day coincidentally. I have to call my parents now...

YEARS ago, one time when we were returning from our shopping we stood at the Anand Parbat bus stop, five feet from us a transistor bomb went off in a bus on its way from Rohtak Rd😭, during one of the darkest periods in Delhi's history

I love EVERYTHING about the city... Sigh!! no matter what😳👏

Wow

Oh about fees... The less said the better. We middle class ppl have work cut out for us. And thanks to international schools the fees have sky rocketed. I am simply appalled to look at fees for kg .. Even pre-nursery fees are high its as much as I paid for my graduation fees 10yra back and that too a government seat

I will have to put my son in school in a few years n I m so scared. No hi-fi schools for us.

Reality always comes knocking...Story of life!!!

Thank you for the amazing updates Nisha!!! I have been reading but haven't been able to post due to hectic activity with my mother and sister.

I loved the time II and R&B spent in Paris! Loved the questions II asked of R&B!!! It is clear from the foochar updates that he continues to split his time between the two places for at least 10 years!

I loved that Ranjan and II made the trip together and went back together-whatever else this FIL has his gudiya's back covered🤗

R&B sending support to help out II's family in their time of distress was very sweet. I feel awful about II's Periappa-it reminds me of mine who passed away very suddenly a few years ago. I was not as close to him as II is to hers but he was the first of my parents generation to pass away. After that-I have been having nightmares for my own parents. 😭

Anyway, fingers crossed that it is just a patch of bad health for Periappa and he lives to see Nivi's birth!!! I am now praying for a fictional character to live!!!! Nisha, what have you done to me?????😆

😊 I write too and so get that..

@ bold - well most of the time we only need to change our mind set to let life course it's way.

Well yes I have just learnt to see him as a flawed man that loves our kids with all his heart just not so comfortable with the woman who housed them. 😉 His son looks like a super star and the girl he married is a bit of a Cleopatra - coloured and sincere.

Diversity demands a price - and like my very dear enlightened friend on your thread points out repeatedly as she holds my hands and lets cry my eyes out- out a little unselfishness goes a long way.

Not that I don't like to comment but then there's very little that i can add of value. You have a bunch great people who are generous with their time and words on this thread. I have seen many good ones sink on IF without a trace simply because they are not networked!
