Slightly shorter than usual na.. but then thank god for small merices, tu ne update toh kiya ;-P
Hmm…first flight as Mr and Mrs..Naku is in some ways lucky or should I say Tillu is luckier..there are so many first in her life that will be with him by her side.. take this flight, her trip abroad, stay in a luxurious hotel, eating so many exotic dishes..sab mein she will have the pleasure of sharing it with her dear hubby and vice versa..its v rare to find that these days..would you believe it that my first taste of a papdi chaat was with my bf/now hubby 15 years ago? I hail from a small city which does have chaat places now but not in those days.. and London mein aake, he was astonished beyond words when I was oohing and aahing over the chaat.. and bechare ko 1-2 spoons ke alaawa kuch nahin mila as me gobbled it all up!! So I do like that there are some things which will be your first time with your other half as it's a very sweet moment..naku seemed v comfy in her seat..maybe she is so petite, she has no problems in those tiny seats they have on board.. she seemed a picture of innocent temptation if that is ever possible!! Her beauty lies in the fact she does so many things so naturally without thinking how it might affect Dutta's heart beats that it comes across beautiful..best for tillu ji to get used to his wife's innocent ways!!
One more thing I like about Naku is that she has spunk. If he can ignore her, so can she.. if he can give the silent treatment, so can she.. she doesn't use tears to always get her way..she doesn't get swayed easily as she thinks thru things before sommiting..wow, he even enlisted her nani?!! That is seriously cute..but obviously her fears are too real for her..i was laughing reading about the LOC.. lol.. Rimpi.. shaadi hone se pehle hi u r very samajhdhaar.. rofl.. sab pata hain tujhe.. i think she had reached her breaking point and Could not continue being uncooperative to him na..
I have to tell you, the highlight of this episode for me were 2 things.. one the visuals you are able to portray about this beautiful country and secondly the dialogues..absolutely awesome.. she had so many questions and Dutta's responses were just out of this world. I cant praise you enough for the conversations between these two.. esp lines like..kuch bhi khaa lenge, ab mera dimag math kha.. and their English also being like hers..OMG, I am rofl..these lines are so in character with these two..he was asking to be beaten up saying things like that and then acts surprised that she is betaing her own patidev!! Hahaha.. great writing..i have to admit I did not know much about the language there.. and u have done perfect research.. be it the about the language, the hotel, the way to the hotel from airport over Chin bridge.. sounds real pretty..
Hmm..the crown hospital and pacemaker part was a revelation. These lil golden nuggets of info that you pass on thru your story is amazing..and especially the way you have used the protagonists to show the pros and cons of such experiments. I was swaying between D and N as both are right in their ownj ways.. but I am more from D's school of thought..but then that comes from being educated and well read and having seen so many things in life..whereas Naku in stark contrast has her own deep rooted beliefs which we can glimpse thru this part, which is right if you think about the life she has had and her upbringing. But then it is great that she is not averse to listening to other views which are opposite to her own views and trying to accept them too..D has always been of the same nature..it is true that ultimately it is in the hands of the user how we use it.. for betterment or otherwise..the creator can only hope that his invention will be used for the betterment of mankind..and I liked how Dutta explained he would have given his own kid if he was put on the spot..it takes a huge heart to do it..i know several who will not , but am 100% in agreement in what he says here..if we all stopped being selfish even for a sec and looked at the wider picture..aaww, he wants lots of babies..:) but abhi nahin, which is fair enough..and his reasons are just so sweet.. he wants her to live her life like she has never lived before.. carefree and without too many responsibilities.. she has always had huge responsibilities and expectations from people..for the first time, someone has put her first before arriving at this imp decision..sigh..
Ahhh.. u make me want to go to Budapest now!! It sounds so picturesque and romantic and beautiful..and her happiness and excitement is so contagious..Naku always knew her hubby did important work and was well respected..and now she gets an opportunity to actually see how well respected and revered he is in his field..how in spite of his young age, people still love listening to his opinions..it is different back home as she has met with his friends and colleagues.. who have come to know her by now.. whereas here these are people from the same field from other parts of the world respecting her hubby's work..it must be daunting too as he is so well respected, she is bound to have fears of what people will expect of her..but she clutches onto him for dear life and he too realises how she will feel like fish out of water sticks by her side na..
Hmm.. Rakshanda..initially like Naku I also felt good she stopped Naku from eating those cutlets.. but the moment she sneered about how it might have tampered her jaat..i felt oh ho.. some things never change..and she already knew who Naku was! A case of sour grapes and I absolutely loved how Naku's face changed to show her hatred..of course, naam sunte hi she would have remembered the back story Dutta had told her about the decanter..it must not be a great feeling to meet your hubby's ex like this na.. but she hanldled it beautifully.. esp the way she never keeps things in her mind.. what is in her mind is on her face J.. wow, Dutta was all tiger protecting his lil wifey.. lil does he know she needs no protecting and is quite capable of handling 10 such women.. but it must be such a great feeling to have your hubby back you so fully the way he did na..it is amazing how you incorporate an important point from the FF when u least expect it.. here at this juncture she sees things thru D's eyes and even feels a certain amount of empathy towards this woman as she realises how alone she is..and I loved loved D's last line.. hmmm..kaise aise lines sochti hai tu? ;-P
Now just have to wait to see what else you conjure up!!
