See all that is easy to say kannappa, but u know you have to follow some protocol, see if u had married in NOIDA or Rohini
(Amma carefully avoided saying IYER explicitly) we can.. u know" Amma dragged
"Vandu said her house was a mess and R&B must have thought" Amma said"

The gaps are so huge that even the more adaptive Amma can't help but slip these words out. It's a huge compromise mentally for them and it's going to take some adjustment for them to accept the situation comfortably.
The irony is periappa is now being cared for by II in her inlaw's house which is just not possible in vandu's house but it's still ' if you had married an iyer in rohini or noida ...
The economic class difference is even more felt than the cultural differences here.

Another thing that I have observed in general. The inter caste marriage is still fine and the parents do adjust but I have seen both hilarious oneupmanship situations between both set of parents when the first baby is born as to the tending and taking care practices of the newborn.
For an onlooker it's hilarious but for the couple who has to juggle both set of parents to keep everyone happy with the upbringing of the first child, it's a nightmare.
To that extent, II is saved as Savita bhalla isn't there.

While II's atom bomb comment on Athai had lots of humor, it's a matter of concern too.
Waise the Paatis and the oldies are not to be underestimated Haan? They have their own checks and balances and are usually like hawks and will spot it if there's anything amiss with the baby inspite of their hard hearing or poor eye sight or even limited movements and will promptly alert you.
😆 😃 . Their checking mechanisms are simply too good and crafty.
Ayyayo , my Paatis used to immediately ding me if I did not notice anything amiss with my daughter when she was born .
And I use to say to my paati," how are you saying that paati," you cannot even move freely or see", but but she will most often be right.

The baby would be calm and not feisty as her mother and she is already calming her mother from within, it gives that warm feeling when parents stop fighting infront of the children or there are babies I have seen actually calming their mothers. Like there's a say tulsi ka pata( basil leaves) smells even before it grows out as leaves and khujli wala pata does its wonders in its bud. So the baby would be quite and calm and would dance is already known while she in her gestation period and as II said that she would be an owl like her father coz she was dancing throughout the night.

We have a say that the deafs mother knows what the child is trying to gesture and convey, so here II's amma knows what her daughter is and what wonders she can do if she gets on a mission and to what extent she can go to protect the interests of her loved ones. That's what mothers are for they just know our every step maybe they get a strong instinct and it just clicks rightly and the ninja brains are activated and even conveyed to fathers sometimes when matters are beyond their control.

An infant that has to be fed and changed only can definitely be cared for by Octogenarians . If they are able to make all the bakshanams i'm sure they can. I think when a child starts moving then it becomes difficult. They can occasionally baby sit and be the caregivers for a short span of time. Hoping that they do it on a regular daily basis is here the problem .
Today another reason is unravelled The TV Serials that folks get hooked too.I have athais and periammas who are 87 managing the household as also a mother in law who is 77 who thinks and does stuff with ease in the home. I called on my periamma she said 'vaa kondhai and went on watching her Valli. She and my mother began to animatedly discuss the progress of Valli...during the break she went made stuff for me to drink and eat...I felt i was intruding her routine got my kumkumam vethalai paaku and left. this used to be my behaviour when i watch a serial i am hooked to. I tell folks call me before or after. More than abilty and inability it is a matter of the values you attach to the act. If II calls the in laws of her Akka as tatha paati it is indicative of the age as well as we normally call them only Maama Maami.
I guess that II worries that the baby's cry may go unnoticed. which is valid but It is for Vanditha and Balachandran to worry about. II could be assuming things and assumptions leaves us as fools at times.
The response of a perceptive Amma surfaces. II is so transparent . Her responses her reactions her expressions are read so easily by her loved ones. The dude had warned her to quit lying. Amma is warning her to keep of internal matters of Munirka. The Patriarch assumed to be at Sam's by the dude is actually witness to their war at the window. Sam knows when II is pre occupied.
Amma unravels how II arguments are indicative of how much II had mulled over the matter and built a case for planting a nanny.

I guess after Amma's warning II might think as she did in the matter of the new position at work. there it is more a indication of the level of intrusion and comfort. unlike in the case of the warning from the dude which becomes a ego matter for II. Akka warns II not to make it a matter of wills between II and Bala.

The twitches of the baby within the way the dude and II respond to it argue over it and rest their case for now, the way Amma points out the differences in class. It is not that it was not apparent earlier and the dude had come in when coconut was being grated...now it is one more baby paati and it is maavu and the dude sitting on the floor. he has stayed on the Munirka bed baby sitting Animal planet.

Will better sense prevail over Bala to consider other options?
Will better sense prevail over II and make her stay away without her annoying stance?
Will Akka and the Dude rein in their spouses ?
Will the extended families look on or orchestrate or precipitate things?
Will the periaya maapillai keep off the Thalai deepavali celebrations at his Maamanar veedu?
The pain of II is brought out poignantly in naa avlav dveshama?

Amma warning her not to create a scene and how their ears are rested after the marriage of II is a cute reminder of not merely transfer of powers over her, but her idiosyncrasies and tantrums are the dudes and dad's to bear with now.

Nisha did Amma and Appa go for Usha's wedding? Did Vaishnavi move to a hostel?

Congratulations for thread 59 Nisha!
Sorry for the belated wishes but I hope you all had a great Diwali.

Children are most definitely the binding factor for couples, especially when they are sparring! Nivi has already shown she would be their salve, bringing peace and calm to their restless souls, giving them an assurance of love that is continual.😳

DRAMA QUEEN

DRAMA QUEEN that she was always had her way with people

A performer that stole the hearts of all that beheld her

A singer exuding grace and soulful rendering

A chatter box that chattered her way into the consciousness of all she met

At school ...at college...at work she drew folks to her like a magnet

At home she was central to all the laughter and chatter

An escape over an ice cream, a crying fit over the lost love

At no time did she cease to notice the sway she held over all

Her Prince came for a drive in a Ferrari bearing a 5 carat carbon

Swept her off her feet a modern day fairy tale

The Setting changes plot thickens mood swings

The prima donna remains the same

Her tunes though varied in tone tempo and rendering

The Prince charming in awe mostly tows the line

The patriarch her genie transforming her every wish to reality

Sam her trusted ally. The new cast in her life, orchestrate to keep her in the limelight

A new script in the making, a mystery that unfolds, steadily casting a spell

The bearer and co creator in sedate mode

Nuanced performer conscious of her audience's response and adulation

The curtain raiser promises it would be spectacular to witness

The forum will run to full house discussions reviews and ratings

Interesting this is a symphony par excellence

The people from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Turkey etc..are migrating to European countries becoz of unrest situations.. There are chances that along with these people the terrorists are entering European countries ..😔
I don't understand what pleasure they get by killing innocent people 😡
