"Destiny is the push of our instincts to the pull of our purpose. "- T. D. Jakes

It's very impressive persuasive skills from Vaidya sahib but this is destiny of push, pulls and their stars. We let go of many things due to preconceived notions. . She has been resisting proposals of lawyers and the likes ..., small towns but look at this way. When it looks as if the entire world is repeatedly presenting you with what you resist... here in her case, proposals of lawyers , it's time to take stock . Avantika has pushed back so far, but the pull this time is too strong to resist. Crushed flowers bring out the best perfume. She has been crushed here but there is her goodness that's carrying her scent far and wide.

Vagaries of matchmaking and arranged marriages... conversations initiated, connections established, personal preferences, family considerations are all heavy influences. They are very engaging. Lot of responsibility on the parents and close relatives.

It's all falling in place .At least it's a start where intent has been placed by the vaidyas.Awesome Nisha

If teekus mom hears harit's english, can imagine how she will be laughing in her mind...😉

Senior lawyer presented the case very well😆

😳BAS... CHANDAN

Most marriages in places other than Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai are arranged by families. Newspaper matrimonials are still very common in today's India. Gupta and Vaidya trying to arrange their kids' marriage is no novelty.

After much thought, debating and a few more days of watching Teeku waste away, Gupta convinced his sons that he should talk about it with Teeku

He arrived in Delhi that weekend

"Hum theek hain, is bahane aap Dilli to aaye she teased, hugging him on the sofa

"Kuch karte hain, kahin ghoom aayen?

"Chandu ko bhi le jaayen? she asked lifting her head and looking directly into his eyes

"umm... ab chandu kaise beta? he was depressed

"See even you miss him she cried her heart out

"Ek baat kahen aapko? Bina larey sunengi? he asked holding his breath

Himani was pouring out tea in the Malviya Nagar kitchen

She paused holding the tiny saucepan

Clamping her hand over her mouth

She heard a auto, and a cycle roll by on the street below

A loud honking of a bus or a truck followed

She couldn't hear Teeku anymore

She panicked, her daughter upon hearing her father's proposal had jumped off the 2^nd floor balcony?

She rushed out to the living room

"Maa... Dad ka koi naya idea hai Teeku sat up

Her hair a mess, her youthful innocent face missing its usual glow

She was dressed in blue Minnie mouse lounge pants and a skinny orange tee

"Umm... Shyam Gupta suddenly didn't have the courage anymore

Himani tried to sneak back into the kitchen

"Himani sunen to Shyam hollered

"Hari Ommm she muttered under her breath and turned around

"Chai laatein hain

"Achha le aayen he urged

She sat uncomfortably across from him

"Kya hai idea? Aapke gunde Chandu ko waha se utha laayenge? she said earnestly

He looked shocked at how his daughter was able to think violent thoughts now

"Gunde nahi dad mera Matlab... u know... people from the factory can rough them up? she had actually given it some thought!!??

"Umm.. nahi teeku... hum sochey ek idea hai jis se aap ... matlab... hamey... aise kisi baat ki koi zaroorat nahi

"KAISE? her eyes sparkled

"Aapki shaadi kar dete hain waha? he chuckled nervously

"Bareilly? she asked not at all recoiling from the idea

"Umm... haan he nodded looking at his wife for support

She was frozen with the cup at her lip

"Kaun hai? she asked eagerly

"Unke ghar se rishta aaya hai

"PHIR TO MAIN ROZ CHANDU KO DEKH SAKTI HOON she shrieked and jumped up

Not for a nano second thinking about who she has to marry, how she will live ina small town, and how she will deal with the demands of being married into a large non urban family Not to mention the emotional, familial, physical/conjugal needs of marrying a man would place upon her. She didn't care what the guy did for a living, and what his education was, what he looked like and what he liked to eat and do in his spare time

Didn't care if she even liked him or not.

CHANDAN... Was all she cared about

"Aap seriously keh rahe hain, or are you yanking my chain? she got up, hands on her hips challenged her Dad

Himani had splashed her chai all over her saree, she set her cup down with trembling hands in disbelief at her daughter's totally unexpected reaction

"Mazaak nahi teeku... is maamle mein Dad aapse mazaak karenge?

"I will DO IT she nodded, her eyes glazed... her expression one of sheer elation. "I am ready she mumbled and undid her scuncie and tied her pony tail neatly for the first time in days, clapping her hand noiselessly

"Sujhaav aapka tha? Harit asked his mother angrily (the Roorkee Gupta daughter Avantika's proposal)

"Nahi beta Lakshmi squirmed

"Hum kahe Gupta ji ko Sita Ram Vaidya spoke calmly

"Kyon Bareilly mein ladkiyan khatam ho gayin hain? he asked scornfully

"Umm.. nahi.. aisi baat nahi

"Phir? Unki taraf se aaya rishta? his eyes took on a calculating gleam

"Arey nahi. Hum call karey rahey

"Beta roti aur dein?

"nahi Ma he smiled

"Aap sochen, 4 hafte honey ko hai, munne ne dhang se ek shabd nahi bola

"Alka Bhabhi aaj Mission hospital mein therapist se baat karne waali hain he said confidently

"Ma ne mana jo kar diya Vaidya said smugly

"Maaa. Bhabhi ne kaha aapko jhijhak hai... But therapy is fairly common

"She is from 1950s India, you have to be considerate Vaidya spoke patiently

"But we are talking about a child in 2018

"Haan... theek hai Vaidya dragged

"isme koi sharam nahi

"Chalo yeh behes hoti rahegi Vaidya squirmed hoping Laksmi will rescue him

"Do saal ka time liya aapne UK se lautkar, pro-bono hi kar rahen aap, kab law firm start karenge? Yak ab government ki naukri karenge? Lakshmi spoke up

"Uska hamari shaadi se kya naata?

"do saal poorey ho gaye Vaidya cut out everything his wife said

"Ghar mein roz har waqt 4 sabzi, kheer ban rahi hai, munne ne doodh ke alawa kuch piya nahi Laksmi broke down

"Yeh unki zid hai, therapy se theek ho jaayenge

"Nahi betaaa

"Who apni maasi ko dekh lenge to khaana shuru kar denge? he scoffed

"Koshish to kee ja sakti hai?

"Shaadi karke? he was astounded

"Sundar hain, padhi likhin hain, Symbiosis se MBA kar chuki hain. Modern hain Vaidya listed

"Ziddi hain aur apni alag law book follow karti hain. Koi respect nahi hai unko court ya legal system ka he was merciless

"Umm... Harit beta Lakshmi tried to tone him down

"Humse yeh ummeed na karen ki hum... umm...unko bhaiya jaise pesh aate hain Bhabhi se aise... hum nahi karenge "Chandan... bus... ummm" Harit said shaking his head wearily getting up offering his reluctant consent as he left his roti on the plate uneaten.

Nicely put together Kalpana! Pull from Vaidhya with Chandan' has greater strength than the gravity to keep her at Delhi ! She has been away from him for 24 days - long enough to make the marriage decision.

Haha he agreed but our teeku said yes without asking who he is!!
It would be fun
👏

Kajal good to see you... I know you are busy but you will be needed here as all the grooms family are wakils and judges... to know the terms and understand the dialogues I will need you as always.. 😊

"Most marriages in places other than Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai are arranged by families. Newspaper matrimonials are still very common in today's India. Gupta and Vaidya trying to arrange their kids' marriage is no novelty."

True . If we look at families like the Guptas or Vaidyas, there is a certain order in the family. There is filial piety , the understanding being, the parents are expected to do things in the best interests of their children and the children reciprocate the values instilled in them. The Guptas and Vaidyas of today are a little more progressive given the times we live in . They have given enough freedom and independence for their children to be able to make their life's best choices. To say a yes or a no. Still the right question are asked and prodded of their children at appropriate times.
It was hilarious to read each of the parents set looking to their spouses for support in placing their intent behind the proposal of theirs and them later hanging onto every word that's coming out of their children's mouth. Parents feel responsible for their children in our kind of society for an extent of time which can be easily ridiculed as being overbearing by societies who have not been exposed to our culture.

But here in lies the beauty of our ties. TIES BIND. Coming to Avantika and Harit, we had consent of two kinds, his of reluctance and hers plain impulsive brought about by her emotional state. But folks ...consent is a consent, in whatever form it comes and isn't that's good enough for us 😳 😳
