Location: RAJSINGHANIA'S PENTHOUSE, MALABAR HILL, Mumbai, 12:00noon.
There was a vigorous banging on the door surprising Radharani as it was too early for her family to return home for lunch as well as for any neighbour or relative to pay their family a visit. Muttering under her breathe she went to open the door to stop the banging before her neighbours come and complain, "Naukar-chaakar hote huye bhi mujhe hi darwaaza kholna padhta hai." (Despite of team of servants being present I have to answer the door bell.)
She had just opened the door when a woman hurled herself on Radharani's feet saying, "Maaji, meri madatt kariye! Mujhe aur mere bacche ko humari izzat aur adhikar dilaiye!" (Please help me! Please give my unborn child and me respect and our legal right!)
"Uttu beti, pehli battao toh ki tum kaun ho? Aur tumhari pareshaani kya hai?" (Get up my child. Please tell me who are you? What is your problem?) Radharani said with compassion.
The woman got up with her face covered in a long ghunghat hiccuping, "Aap ke ek bete ne mere se mandir mai shaadi ki thee aur abb unki nishaani mere kok mai hain. Aur woh mujhe apna ne se inkaar kar rahe hain!" (One of your sons' got married to me in a temple and now that I'm carrying his symbol in my womb, he refuses to accept me.)
"Yeh ghinoni harkat kiss ne ki hai? Uska naam battao?" (Who has done this disgusting deed? Tell me his name?) Krishankant's voice boomed.
The girl shivered, Radharani put her arm around the woman's shoulders calming her, "Daro matt beti, uska naam battao ." (Don't be scared, tell us his name!)
"Maaji, mai unka naam nahi jaanti sirf unka chehra dekha hai." (I don't know his name, I only remember his face.)
"Theek hai tum beitho, abhi humare saare bete ghar aate honge, tum unhein dekh kar pehchaana. Yeh lo paani piyo!" (Alright you sit down. Soon all my sons will be here, you look at their face and identify!)
The woman calmed down. First Arnav returned, then Yash, then Veer, and last Rishi, Neel and Geet entered together. Seeing three of them, the woman ran towards them and caught Neel's feet saying "Praan naath, aap mujh dukhiyaari ko chodh kar kaise chale gaye. Humare ajaname bacche ke baare mei bhi nahi socha!" (Light of my life, where did you go leaving me alone and abandoned. You didn't even once think of our unborn child.)
Neel jumped back the moment the woman touched his feet saying, "Shiv, Shiv, Shiv! Yeh aap kya kar rahi hain Devi? Hum to janam se hi "baal- brahamchari" hain. Humne aaj tak kissi bhi stree ko chua tak nahi hai!" (What are you doing Ma'am? I'm a confirmed bachelor since young age. I have never touched a woman ever.)
"DEVI?? Agar aap ne humei chua nahi toh humari kok mein aapki nishaani kaise hai?" (Ma'am?? If you have never touched me then how am I carrying your child in my womb?) The woman under the ghunghat said crying.
"Devi, aapko avashiye kuch bhram hua hai. Hum aapse yaa kissi bhi stree ke nikat kabhi bhi nai aaye hai hain. Hum toh apni Gudiya ko aashirwaad dete hue bhi nahi chute!" (Ma'am, you have definitely mistaken. I have never come close to any woman not even you. I have never even touched my Gudiya while blessing her!)
"Neel agar tumne iss ladki se shaadi ki hai toh usse nibhao bhi. Hummei tumsa aisa vyovahar ki apeksha nahi thee. Agar Arnav yaa Siddharth yeh karte toh hum ek dafa vishwas kar bhi lete magar tumse kabhi nahi." (Neel if you have married this girl, then fulfill your marital responsibilities! I never had expected this kind of behaviour from you. If Arnav or Siddharth would have done such a deed I would have understood.)
"Its Arnie Papa!" Arnav said.
"Baba, humne inn Devi ko aaj se pehle kabhi dekha tak nahi. Hum par vishwas kijiye!" (Baba, I have never seen this lady before today! Please trust me.)
"Magar suniye...!" (But, please...!)
"Apna ghunghat utthao!" (Remove your Veil!) Rishi ordered.
"KYA??" (WHAT??) Radharani and Krishankant were horrified.
"Rishi beta, tum yeh kya keh rahe ho? Ek aurat se uska ghunghat uttarne ko keh rahe ho. Ghunghat ek aurat ki izzat ka prateek hota hai." (What are you saying Rishi? You are asking a woman to remove her veil? A veil signifies a woman's honour and dignity!) Radharani stated.
"Maaf keejiyega Maa! Ek aurat tabse mere bhai ki izzat uttaar rahi hai, woh aapko nahi dekh raha. Bina isse jaane yaa pehchaane aap dono iski baat par vishwas kar rahe hain. Gudiya iska ghunghat hattao!" (I bed your pardon Maa! But a woman for so long is being disrespectful to my brother, that you can't see. Without knowing who she is? From where she is? You are blindly trusting her! Gudiya, remove her veil.)
Geet went and uncovered the woman's face and started laughing.
Then she moved aside so rest of her family could see the woman.
"SID!!!!"
"BHAAND kaheen kaa!" (Low class actor!) Krishankant walked away disgusted. Radharani gave him a fake slap on his back and left with Geet for kitchen.
Neel was now furious and said, "Mai tujhe aaj nahi chodhonga Sid!" (I will not leave you Sid!)
"Kya bhai-sa, aap ek abala stree par haath uttaenge! Kya ghor kalyug aa gaya hai! Shiv, Shiv, Shiv!" (What bhai-sa? You are going to raise your hand on a defenceless woman? What has the world come to! Shiv, Shiv, Shiv!) Sid said holding his ears respectfully like one holds in front of the Almighty! Neel ran behind Sid, but he dodged away from Neel before he got beaten! Leaving Yash, Arnav and Veer in splits of laughter and Rishabh nodded his head over his brothers' childish behaviour!
Half an hour later everyone was seated for lunch on the dining table. Krishankant on head of the table and Geet on tail of the table. Radharani, Krishankant and Rishi served themselves traditional vegetarian food.
"Maharaj, humara shudh shakahari bhojan laaiye!" (Maharaj please get my pure vegetarian food!) Neel requested. A man in traditional dhoti-kurta got Neel's food.
"Ramlalji humare liye potato basket aur kamal kakadi ke bade laayiye!" (Ramlal please get my potato basket and lotus stem cutlets!) Yash said. A male cook came and served Yash his lunch.
"John, my soup and vegetables au gratin!" Arnav said. A man in butler uniform came and served Arnav his continental meal with fork, knife and folded cloth napkin.
"Ramlalji, meri high protein aur low carbo diet!" Veer asked. Ramlal served Veer his food.
"Ramlalji meri lassi, sarson kaa saag aur makki ki roti." (Ramlal my meri lassi, mustard leaves vegetable and maize bread!) Sid said. Ramlal served Sid.
A servant came and placed an empty thali in front of Geet and a glass of cold water. Then one at a time each brother came and put one serving from their plate in Geet's plate and sat in their respective place. Both Radharani and Krishankant use to see this ritual everyday and their eyes filled everyday with joyful tears seeing their daughter being loved so dearly by her brothers. "Gudiya, shuru kar warna tere bhai bhukke rahe jaayenge!" (Gudiya start eating, otherwise your brothers will remain hungry!)
Geet prayed to her Kanhaji and started eating. All her six brothers also started having their lunch admists lot of fun and jokes.
Location: KHURANA MANSION, DELHI, 12:00noon.
Savitri Devi was in kitchen seeing to Khurana family's lunch. With lot of emotional blackmail and nagging she was finally able to get her whole family home for lunch especially her eldest grandson, Maan. Once everyone had finished lunch and dessert, Ranjit Singh Khurana mentioned, "Maa, mujhe ek Indo-Taiwan cultural tour ke liye kuch young artists ko select karne Mumbai jaana hai, aap sab bhi kyun nahi chalte? Maan tumhari toh waise bhi agle hafte Mumbai mei Rajsinghania Constructions ke CEO ke saath meeting hai. Pehle hafte rest karna aur dusare hafte kaam." (Maa,I have to go to Mumbai to select young artists for Indo-Taiwan cultural tour. Why don't you all also come along? Maan you also have next week a meeting with CEO of Rajsinghania Constructions, so why don't you come as well? First week you can relax and next week work!)
"Vicky, inn baap-bete ko toh chutti mei bhi kaam nazar aata hai!" (Vicky this father-son duo can also find opportunities to do work in holidays!) Savitri Devi whispered to Vicky.
"Aap bilkul sahi keh rahi hain Dadimaa." (You are absolutely right Dadimaa!) Vicky whispered back
"Aap dono jo khusar-pusar kar rahe hain hummei sunaiye de raha hai Dadimaa!" (What are you two whispering? We both can hear very clearly!) Maan said.
"Accha hai sunaiye de raha hai magar uska aap dono par asar toh hota nahi !" (Good that you have heard what we are saying. But unfortunately it doesn't effect your lifestyle!)
"Theek hai, mai pehla hafta sirf chutti par hoonga, NOT ON WORK!" (Alright, first week, I'll be on complete holiday, NO WORK!)
"Kash iss ghar mai ek sarvgun sampann bahu aa jaaye!" (I wish a well cultured daughter-in-law enters this household!)
"Dadimaa aap phir shuru ho gayeen hain!" (Dadimaa you have again started!)
"Hum aapki shaadi ki baat nahi kar rahe. Ladkiyon se aapka door-door tak wasta nahi hai! Warna 33 saal ki umar mein aap shaadi karke do bacchon ker baap bann jaate! Aap toh hai heen baal-bhramchaari ! Aapka bus chale toh aap parvat mein kutiya daal kar bass jaate! (Courtsey: GHSP)" (I'm not talking about your marriage. You keep girls away from yourself with a yard stick. Otherwise t the age of 33yrs. you would have been a father of two. You are a confirmed bachelor! If you had your way, you would be residing in a hut at Himalayas!)
"Nahi aap..." (No you...)
"Hum Vicky ke baare mei baat kar rahe hain." (I'm talking of Vicky's marriage.) Vicky choked on his food but Savitri Devi continued, "Iski bhi abb shaadi ki umar ho chuki hai!" (Vicky is also now of marriageable age.)
