Some of you guys may be wondering why I often bash Dixits, but never the Walias. While I am a hardcore Munna camper, that is not the reason.
Both JW and Bani have a fairly tainted bloodline.
JW:
Had a father who abandoned his wife and kids, to run off with another woman.
Dont know much about his Mom but I guess she would been as unpalatable a character as her younger sis (St. Billo) and her bahurani, whose kartoots (Krishnagiri) forced UW into straying.
Bani:
Had a Mom who committed suicide without considering what would happen to her three young daughters. And that too by throwing herself onto the wheels of an onrushing car- an extremely inefficient and unreliable way of dying and one which could have ( and did) implicated an innocent man. Mt. Abu has Aravalli's highest peak (Guru Shikhar) and also a huge lake (Nakki Tal)- she may have been better advised to try those alternatives.
Had a Dad who abandoned his motherless daughters and took to drink. Chose to implicate an innocent man (he must have known after hearing the tapes) rather than admit to himself or his daughters that KD had committed suicde cos he couldnt afford treatment for her.
The only diff b/w JW and Bani is that only one of the two thinks that his/her parents were God's gift to mankind. The other has come to a conclusion that his/her parents were complete GFNs whose absence was best left ignored. And that may explain why some of us poke more fun at Dixits rather than Walias. And of course that the senior Walias sc***ed up only their own family's lives, the senior Dixits also sc***ed a poor bsytander (JW).
And the day Bani admits that her parents were GFNs, I guess at least I would be through with Dixit bashing. Alternatively, if JW starts lamenting his parents, particularly his father, may be it would be time for some Walia bashing too.
Rgds,
