A Fish Did All This ???!!!

If fishes are wishes ...don't display it on the table ! To fish or not to fish ...

when in doubt , wade in the water for a while ! That is what the HHN people are doing through Mishra family !!

So everybody has a point to prove ...and the Pandora's box is trying to open itself in between !

Sometimes you really have to squirm to get off the hook !That is what Bunty is doing nowadays !

At the sound of a MIL's name even the fish on the table will tremble !

Fish ..Fish in the brook , Pinto catch him on a hook !

Mamma cry foul and fry her Dil in long wait !Baby Bunty tries to eat from both the plates ..but lost from both sides !

Left there as a hungry bird...but knows that his parrot is cooing from the other side ,

Yes ...men and fish are alike ...they both get in to trouble when they open their mouths !Tall fish tales told here ...water in between ...wading through is the hardest part for Bunty ...

I feel ..both Ammaji and Pinto are at fault today !

Pinto is at fault first ...knowing fully well that they are pure vegetarians ,bringing fish on the table is not at all culture and etiquette ...in the same way after hearing his words as a good luck Amulet [Shagun !] Ammaji has to leave that place with a dignified smile ,asking for an excuse and she has to sit in the drawing room without making any fuss ...yes ..she has every right to scold her son afterwords[after coming back to her home !] for pressing her to come over there ,knowing fully well about her reservations ! I expected the creatives to deal with that situation in a dignified manner !Yes both sides are at fault and both have a point to make !

Knowing fully well about the strong feelings ,which she openly expressed in front of him in his previous visit to his daughter's house ,why did he put that fish on the table ?If he had ordered the food from a neighbor's house for the sake of Ammaji ,why that fishy display ?Sandesh is also a good SHAGUN to put on the table !

BUT ...one small cultural belief is there ...Bengalis consider Fish as Jalpushp [Water flower !] so they consider it as a vegetable and offer it to Gods at Puja time and offer it to Shraddha...Pitru Paksha too . So here he is not totally at wrong !

A fishy clash created the rift between the newly married couple ,a rift between ''your people ''and ''my people ''...which will take long time to settle !

So a dead fish did all this !!!If it is a face -to - face clash...may the best person win if at all anyone is there ?!!When two people from different backgrounds come together in the name of love, the cultural challenges can seem overwhelming. Many prove to be irreconcilable , but they have to modify some beliefs ,alter some customs !The sum of attitudes, customs, and beliefs that distinguishes one group of people from another----for a happy life ...we have to understand ...we have to adjust and give mutual respect. Reciprocation is a must in inter caste/ cultural marriages !

I hope the writer / Cvs will deal with this sensitive issue in an agreeable way !
