P&P Part III - Page 51

It was fun to see Raanav getting J. Looks like he is on the way to mark his territory around his Vi 😆

Did he hear Sid call his wife gorgeous? 😋

Sid seems to be a nice guy and unaware about the undercurrents related to Inder & Naina. Or may be he is aware, but is sensible enough to not be biased against Viveka.

I also like the interaction between Viveka & Inder. It was awkward at first, but they didn't try to avoid each other or interact just for the sake of formality. Nupur & Viren appeared a bit too concerned about their eldest talking to Vi. I wonder why?

Vi in her signature cotton sarees (or a simple tee & skirt for that mater) would gather more attention than Lekha in a designer saree. I absolutely loved Sushmita Sen's look in MHN ❤️

In or Out

She bared her insecurities but Raanav is thinking from his own perspective. He knows she is right but he wants her to act like she does have equal rights. What he can't see is how hard it is to be condescended to all the time by Lekha and Smrita. She is looking for validation.

What we think and dont

You may be lawyer Raanav but your wife can make very good arguments too.

Inder is here. The first talk between Viveka and Inder will be quite revealing.

Puppy human

So much concern for a puppy that is supposed to be like human, but no concern for an actual human. Do these women even see how blind they are? Of course they don't.

Sid and Viveka hit it off well much to the chagrin of his parents. The cutest part was Raanav getting jealous.

Didn't Lekha say she disn't want to wear saris and that Rakshit doesn't like her in saris? So what gives now? She is trying impress the Dhameja family? Or the other couple that is there?

No one told Viveka to dress up if they are celebrating something.

"For some odd reason Lekha walked out all decked up in shaadi ka choora and sa gorgeous designer MM type saree and blow dried hair, she looked like Sushmita from Main Hoon Na

Viveka wondered why she did not get the memo"

Oh ! this is making me want to roll on the floor. I can even hear the back ground tabla beat of the main hoon na sushmita intro scene with her red saree 🤣

Viveka did not get the memo because the the mother in law is reading out the riot act to her😆

“This” one was his!

“Do you have plans to visit South Africa?” Sid asked eagerly

“I haven’t been to many countries” she lamented

“I haven’t either” he smiled, shrugging

“YOU haven’t?” she was shocked

“Umm. Yeah? Why”

“He has only been to 75 out of the 100”

Raanav butt in

“Umm.. NOT 75” Sid was ashamed

Viveka looked at Raanav curiously

She had no idea her husband was seething in envy

No wonder the attempt to take down Sid

“Well OK may be 72 then?” Raanav nodded

“No way, I am going to say” Sid began to count

“You shouldn’t be so gullible” he warned his wife protectively

“Jhooth kaha keh rahe hain, mujhe lagta hai yeh bhi meri tarah kam ghoome hain”

“Hindi is a beautiful language” Sid nodded

“I agree” (AND THE SPEAKER IS MINE) Raanav’s tone asked Sid to back off

“I told him how I got to help with a paper on Cameroon, she showed Raanav the brochure with a smile

He grabbed it with interest

“I am not done reading the yellow and green ones” Sid informed

“Oh” Raanav did not offer it back to Sid

“DO usey, kya kar rahe ho?” Viveka whispered politely in his ear standing on her tippy toes

“He is just being polite” Raanav nudged her off

“IAM being polite?” Sid heard that

“did you actually like reading about 3rd world African countries?” Raanav challenged him with amusement

“Umm.. I think so”

“Why didn’t you dress up beta?” Satyen asked Viveka cutting off the testy exchange between Raanav and Sid

“Dad umm.. I didn’t get the memo”

He laughed

“She looks great” Raanav asserted his hold

“I heard from my Mom you wear a lot of cotton”

“Mamiji is talking about women’s fashion with you now?” raanav mocked him again

“I love women… ergo..” Sid had a repartee

Raanav was a lawyer, he hated good opposing arguments especially when they were about his wife

“Umm… I have to answer a Q” Viveka smiled softly raising her hand

“Oh yeah, please?” Sid nodded

“I love cotton, and work with a lot of weavers and people close to looms, I began loving it over the years”

“Oh wow… where do u work?”

Well Raanav was a spectator yet again, not liking it one bit

Satyen noticed the tension and asked him about work

“Have you had a Doctor look at her?” he checked with his son

“yeah tomorrow”

“Good good”

“I haven’t seen her insurance quote tho”

“Her Dad called me to say she will pick up the repair bill for Lekha’s, the deductible or whatever”

“satya she was SO shaken up” Smrita walked up to the group

“She doesn’t look like it” Satyen teased earning hima glare from his wife

“MAINE kaha usko, her Mum and Dad are coming over she should dress up, she wasn’t even willing to leave the room” Smrita cooed

“Did you check on Viveka?” Satyen asked grimly

“Arey I haven’t even met her this evening” Smrita went on the defensive lying about asking Viveka to get driving lessons

“Make sure you tell her I will too… Lekha I mean, if she is walking Mo around the driveway he needs to be on a leash, the lawn is fine” Satyen spoke thoughtfully

“Its not MO’s fa”

“I could have easily run over that thing” Satyen didn’t care for his wife’s lame defense of his DIL

“Sid seems to have taken a liking to Viveka” Satyen was smiling joyously

In a family of arrogant snot heads he was glad a Dhamija was real

“Sid is of SUCH good nature” Smrita appreciated her nephew

“Arey he knows about the African conference, he was asking her about it” Satyen explained “I was passing by to refill my drink, ladka smart hai”

“Maybe he should find himself an Economist” Raanav injected silkily implying THIS ONE WAS HIS

I am waiting for Viveka to know how envious this guy was of his own cousin. She should have great time in Sid’s company and am sure when she is gonna be back in her room Ranaav will make sure she has even better time with him.

“Mamiji is talking about women’s fashion with you now?” raanav mocked him again 🤣🤣🤣

“I could have easily run over that thing” Satyen didn’t care for his wife’s lame defense of his DIL

and Satyen is best Consel for Viveka. I like the reference THAT THING.
