Internet Router & II
"KYA karte rehte ho yaar aap?" II yelled throwing the remote on the theater seat. Picking it up so she could yell at him
The Siddu ran in and out of the room
"A person cant sit down peacefully for a second and watch some TV" II shouted walking out of the theater
He was helping Sahana make a FRUIT necklace. FRESH FRUIT necklace on the floor on the 1st floor lounge
"U cant eat every bite" he scolded his daughter as he gobbled a halved grape himself
"How many routers? How many disc drives what cables do we have?" she shouted
"I havent changed a thing" he muttered looking up at her
Ranjan walked out of the corridor, he was in his office
"Kee hoya gudiya
"Dadd I am tired of trying to make the electronics work in this house, TV chalao to audio, audio chalao to AC band ho jaata hai" II whined and lay on the day bed and shut her eyes
"Ki syaapa kitha?" he demanded of his son, Sahana lunged at him with joy,
he picked up his over weight grand baby unmindful of the sugary essence all over her, cooed to her for a few minutes
"Huh" he grunted
"Koi cheej kaam nai kar rahi hai, utho puttarjee" he scolded his son
"She has to press home and she knows that" he said quietly
"DADDD sabke ghar mein, koi aise complicated set up nahi karta, even Tan,
I mean he owns a CHAIN of call centers, you pick up the remote and press power TV ON" II shouted
"Amma foot?" Sahana asked R&B
She squatted in front of him displaying her frilly shorts underneath
She was bathed in pink and orange juices
Siddu sat leaning against the wall trying to play a game on the hand held
Ved was missing
"Bakwas na kar uthin jara" he patted R&B's shoulder
"II" he was pissed
"U know what I am not going to watch anything in this house any more happy?" she asked
He shrugged
Ranjan was furious
"Sharam kar khoteya" he yelled
R&B got up reluctantly
"Daddeee sith... sithhh... inga... ingaaa" (here here) Sahana patted the nylon work mat
"Oooh" he mumbled, peeling/pulling her tiny frilly frock off her body "thats better" he said admiring his 2 year old's innocence
"Umm... hang on a sec" he patted her curly head
"Daddy I beez going Kushal house?" Siddu got up all excited
"Amma is upset" he told his son as his wife glared
"AMMA IS NOT UPSET, Daddy broke the TV" she said firmly
"OHHH DADDY BWOKE IT?" he asked hand clamped on his mouth
"Dont bother" II mumbled
"Aise kaise... ruk beta" Ranjan stood with his hands on his hips
R&B pulled his phone out his hands were like bathed in glue
"Can I atleast wash my hands?" he asked his dad impudently
"Jao" Ranjan urged
He returned in 5 minutes trying to work his phone
"I am trying to reprogram this damn thing again" he hissed
"Router, CAT 5... Ben Q is not good I am getting a Sony" "Lumens this lumens that" II ranted
"Who cares they are 5 and they dont care" she mumbled
"Nivi kamre se bahar nahi nikalti... Dad dekhte nahi theater mein... I? I can never make anything work"
"II" R&B begged
"Dad ko maine kaha let me atleast have ONE TV with nothing so I can have regular cable wala stuff" II looked at Ranjan
He was trying to find an escape route with Sahana, she had fed him 6 grape halves and some squishy strawberries now
Her necklace hung on her pot belly... dripping juice
"Aaadu footh?" she asked offering up the necklace
"Na mere bache, tu kha" he picked her up clad only in a frilly underpants and necklace
"Kinna time hore lagega?" he asked R&B
"I dream of Sunday afternoons teriyuma? (do u know?) take my oil bath,
eat my Iyer lunch and watch my Superstar movie. I havent watched Ejamaan in 6 months" she said sadly
"II enough" he said gruffly
Sahana brought him a squished blue berry he bend down and carefully picked it up between his lips
"Wike ith?" she asked just like he asked her
"I wike it a lot" he grinned gloriously for her and then looked at his wife
KISS UP" II said
"hore jee?" Ranjan demanded an answer
"I can only do one thing... listen to her vent or reprogram this shit or give you updates" he told his Dad
"Oye araam naal" Ranjan smacked his son's arm
"Did u reboot?" he asked his wife she had a cushion on her head
"Where is Vedu?" he asked to get her attention
She removed the cushion and looked at him in panic
"Neeche hai na? Jenny ke saath?" she asked fearfully
R&B nodded at her cognitive reaction
She flung her cushion at him, it struck Ranjan's knee
Ranjan couldnt help but smile
"Daddd I am telling you" she warned
He blew air kisses calming her down "Koi nahi raje... sabr karin... koi nai" he urged
"He is such a jerk" II said sadly
"Did u reboot the whole thing II?" he asked again
"I am not going to answer that until you promise me that the entertainment equip will be stripped down to 1980s version" she said
"Thats insane... it works fine... the router cuts off for some reason on this floor"
he said looking at the fancy gadget that looked like a matchbox up in the ceiling
"then I wont tell u if I rebooted" she said gleefully
"I can figure it out" he shot back
"I am going to load viruses into it when u are asleep early mornings" she said
He looked at her long and hard... making her hugely uncomfortable
He usually came to bed at 1 AM or 2 AM, expected to have sex and... usually got it
and completely trapped her under his body and slept until 6 AM when she freed herself and got off to get the kids ready
From that point on the house was a madhouse
Bean bag chairs being ripped open the tiny packing peanut like stuffing flying everywhere, pancakes flying like spaceships
Sometimes even fruit dropping from the ceiling after being lodged there after a toss
Two mornings ago Sahana had somehow opened her sippy cup and poured her entire strawberry milk on James... turning him an ugly pink
Chuck painstakingly licking it off... II too busy to clean as Ved had pancake syrup all over
his school uniform shirt and the other two were dirty and unwashed, she was rinsing the section in the kitchen sink scowling
"Sure" he said softly his indolent gaze fixated on her
RAKSHASANEY
I AM GOING TO SLEEP IN THE BOYS ROOM TONIGHT JUST FOR THAT REASON
"
"Can I use ur PC please?" he asked his Dad
"Ek shart haigi, tere kamre se nikalne ke baad band hoya PC teri khair nahi, main tuannu" Ranjan pretended to be mad at his son in order to make II feel better
"dadd... quit acting I know u are not mad at him OK... mujhe sab dikha raha hai... aap meri side nahi ho" II was grumpy
Ranjan turned red
R&B grinned
Ranjan adored his son... he had transformed his semi retired life enough so now he couldnt even recall how things were 10 years ago.
"Chaliye puttarjee" he waved to Siddu... "Bua ghari chalen?" he asked
"And WOHINI THATTHA HOUSE?" he asked
"Jee bilqul" he nodded
"Ida yaar da clean panuva?" she yelled after
her departing husband asking him to clean the cut up fruit mess but he was in his Dad's office doing free TV tech support work
"Gudiya tere sheran nu vi le jaawan?" (chuck and James) he hollered going down the staircase, slowly holding a semi naked Sahana and Siddu
"Jee Dad" she said in that now almost 16 year old use of twin words..
she rolled over and began to snooze, fantasizing... dancing with Rajni in Tanjore's paddy fields, a smile appearing in teh corners of her lips
Her husband walked back out to grab the theater remote as it lay by her, bending down to kiss her cheek..
Ogling the now exposed midriff between the cotton blouse and the crisp starched
saree...the pallu neatly tucked into her waist, she smelled like sesame oil and spicy bath powder... and II
