22nd February 2010

Kala's Room

Episode begins from the point where Kala continues to rack her brains regarding the writer of the mysterious letter. Roops says she knows who it might be. Kala turns to her with some interest, as Leela asks, who is it Roops? Roops with a daft expression , retorts , some stranger ,whom we don't know so cute isn't it?. Kala gives sister her younger sister a near irritated look, you're such an idiot!. Roops will say stuff to appease Kala all the time and most of the time its utter gibberish. Leela distantly says, ok you two talk to each other, while I go to my husband, poor soul slogs so hard. Kala gives her a mocking look ,oh! really?.. but no one goes anywhere till we don't find whose behind this letter! she orders. Unwillingly Leela sits back down. There is a knock at the door , all three are vigilant, the door opens, and Aye Sahib comes into the room , Kala drops the letter from her hand, and covers it with her foot, pushes the letter back.. Aye Sahib bids, Kala take a look at his guest list, see if I have missed any one out.. why are you all looking so worried? She asks. Roops says , Aye, someone.. Kala says Roops ! Kala, rather flushed , says, actually Aye Sahib some has told me that the wedding should be set as soon as possible, that's all. The other two lower their eyes at their sisters consoling words to their mother. Aye, not entirely convinced challenges, are you hiding something from me?, Kala gives a feeble smile and denies , not all Aye why would I conceal anything from you? but Aye pushes, look child if it's anything inauspicious regarding the wedding then you must tell me. Kala smiles and says convincingly , no at all Aye . Aye Sahib, raises her joined hands to heavens and chants Jagdammba! and then leaves .

Roops protests, Tai why didn't you tell Aye Sahib about this problem with the letter? she would have sorted it out in no time. Kala retorts , what would I have told her that I bought some poison to kill Supriya! but some one used the same poison on Leela's sari! stupid girl!.. before taking the next step we have to be very careful for someone is keeping a sharp eye. Kala suddenly notices Leela's necklace, Leela this necklace has been given to you by Sudarshan? how much did he chip out of Bhau ?nowadays Sudarshan is getting out of hand, he's squandering about money, I hope he hasn't done this letter writing?.Leela pulls her face at the idea of her husband getting accused... why Tai! he only came back last night, from a great distance, and you think he did it?. Kala gibes, sure, when one's husband lives far from home ,one can be sure something's cooking up! and if the husband is someone like Sudarshan! then surely he cannot be trusted!.. Leela begins to think.. and Kala suggests come on then, let's compare your husband's handwriting to the letter shall we?..the gap between the two sisters begins to develop, or is it just that Kala is overly under duress?

They all turn to Leela's room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leela's Room

Sudarshan is on the phone chatting up some female, oh my word, woman you are so hot headed, he chuckles, didn't I tell you my wife is nothing compared to you.. how many times do I need to repeat this, you want me to write it for you?. Kala listening to him on the phone says, yes sure give it in writing!.. a caught out Sudarshan says to the female on the phone, look I'll ring you later..he laughs nervously. It's Bhau's land deal , so he said give the contract has to be written.. Kala has a sly smile on her face and she walks up to, Sudarshan , sure write it, but first you write a letter to your Leela. A confused Sudarshan asks , me? and Kala says, who else then me?, now Leela doesn't need fancy necklaces from you , she needs a few words of your love written in a letter!, Kala orders. Sudarshan glares at Kala , a few words of love? he chuckles at the idea .. than helplessly he walks towards his wife, what is this Leelu? last night I spoke a few words of love to you! he says sarcastically. Leela, chivvies him , if Tai is insisting then go ahead and write me one , what's the problem?.. but Sudarshan is unwilling , you making a joke out of me? it's not funny!. Kala gives him a threatening smile, Sudarshan ji, if you don't agree, I'll have to expose you to Bhau ,and besides, Leela is still wearing the necklace ..so do you want me to leave ?or are you I you going to write ? Sudarshan is most annoyed, but Roops suggests , BIL, your writing table is there with pen and paper..just go and write! soo cute isn't it? Pulling a face Sudarshan gives a sample of his writing that Kala desires..

Kala watches Sudarshan write as she has FB's of the letter being thrown into her room. She is so desperate that she stands over his head while he writes comparing his hand writing to the mysterious one she held in her hand... eventually she snatches the writing pad from him and looks closer.

Annoyed she stresses, it's not Kishore . it' not Sudarshan either.,now I am sure of who did this ? she hisses and dashes off..

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guest Room

Supriya in her room stands by the window looking morosely into what appears from far a photo..she wipes a tear from her eye.

Naku knocks at the guest room door holding a glass and jug of water. Supriya Tai ! she calls out twice, buy no answer, so Naku enters the room anyway and notices Supriya's quiet .. and attempts to consoles her...Tai don't worry, Saab is an angel, a real angel; he is very brave, can I say something Tai ?you are very lucky, Saab has got a very big heart.. Supriya dewy eyed asks really? he has a really big heart?, Naku says with conviction, yes a very big heart, he saved all of us, he didn't even know us ,still he gave us shelter.. and you , you are the love of his life. I've seen his wrath, I saw it when he was beating Morey up,.. but Tai I can tell you this , love comes in.. and anger vanishes away, you'll be very happy in this house Tai , very happy. Naku giggles , and fixes the bed and continues, tonight it's the Heena ceremony, then you'll get engaged..then, Naku loses her voice..but finds it again and says ,and then.. she rushes to the side, to shield her disappointed face from Supriya .. picks up the glass of water, tearfully walks towards Supriya , passes her the glass of water without meeting her eyes and says ..and then the wedding. Supriya holds the glass and with her face twisted in pain , Naku leaves the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dutta's Study

Baji chats to someone on the phone, hey dimwit , don't you understand? its Bhau engagement. I can't move from here! you take care of everything, just grow up man! handle something on your own. Kala comes up the stairs while Baji is on the phone, Baji! , and Baji tells the gut on the phone, just wait.. and turns to Kala who asks sweetly, what're you doing? and Baji replies, fly squatting. What's that to you? .. Kala sniggers, only Baji can take care of Bhau's entire business, don't you get tired? she says slyly, Baji stares at her, and she continues with a big smile, never you mind , Aye sahib has asked me to make a guest list.. Baji looks puzzled , so? Kala continues , now if you make it you won't miss any one out... Baji protests, look I don't have time Tai make it yourself. Kala smiles, ok fine.. and Baji resumes his phone conversation, and Kala nears Dutta 's desk which has pad with Baji's writing on it. Surreptitiously, she rips the paper off and comes down the stairs hurriedly and matches the writing to Baji.. it does not match , and Kala worries, it's not Baji Rao either than who else could it be??

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dutta's Study

Dutta sits at his desk, working on his lap top. Baji lurks on the balcony. Kishore comes up the stairs, chanting god is great, he comes to Dutta , Bhau may god bless you, Dutta stops work, takes the Prasad from Kishore and eats it and presses his palms in devotion. Kishore moves to Baji and offers him the Prasad too , as he chants, say god is great , and Baji repeats hari Om, Ganpati bless all. Kishore looks at Dutta who works at his lap top, and complains, you are constantly busy Bhau ,take some time out for Supriya too ,love is very important in life. Baji too joins in, do you think Bhau listens to us? come on Bhau! take a day off today!.. and he bends forward and closes Dutta's lap top. Dutta looks down at,. when Baji straightens up with a smile, Dutta looks up at him with a glare, open it up! he growls, it as he points to his laptop with his little finger. Beaten Baji opens Dutta's lap top again, what's this Bhau! , but Dutta say , we'll finish work first , then ever thing else.

Sudarshan now heads up the wooden stairs , carrying a file. He yells , hey Bhau! I've looking all over for you!, you're here. Baji turns to Sudarshan dryly, where do you think Bhau would be? Bhau only works when he works! jokes apart! Kishore intervenes, Bhau, love comes before work! it's a fresh relationship for you!. Sudarshan turns to Kishore, what are you saying Kishore?.. haven't you learned from Bhau that work always comes first! isn't it Bhau? first work! then work! work is life! you know Kishore a man's job is to work, take a look at me , I never have time, even for my wife! what do you say Bhau? , he says with a chuckle. Dutta with one elbow folded on his desk, listens and watches these people with some amusement. Sudarshan continue to sound off , now look at me, I'm making accounts at night and giving cash to Bhau in the morning..then start on a new job! Kishore rolls his eyes, much amused and Sudarshan, taunts him, oh yes !there people who like praying more than work. Kishore responds, you won't ,understand the importance of praying, Sudarshan ji..and Dutta listens now to Kishore's argument, Kishore continues, just because the way I am I don't have to fear witches. Baji smiles, that's a good one!.he turns to Sudarshan and offers him parsad , and says, come on chant hari Om! God's name will help you speak sweetly... he turns to Dutta and says , hari Om , and goes down the wooden stairs..

Not amused, Sudarshan watches Kishore leave and turns to Dutta , Bhau shall we do the accounts? Dutta looks up at him and says, you've showed this last night. Sudarshan replies, that was in short Bhau ,now I'll give you the details , please take a look a look. Dutta raises his palm and shakes his head.. but Sudarshan insists, never trust easy money and a man living in the house of his wife! and he smiles at Baji , who smiles back, and Dutta almost smiles and shakes his head at his BIL Sudarshan's smooth talk. Sudarshan continues, Bhau , I've checked a piece of land I'll get it for 12/15 lakh rupees, I was thinking to develop Aye Sahib Usha Shriram Patil English medium school on it!how does it sound?.. Dutta recalls, six months ago ,you took a good amount of to start a hospital a hospital in Aye Sahib 's name.. Sudarshan looks caught and Baji sniggers, as Dutta looks at Sudarshan coldly as if to say , don't think I am stupid..

A shadow is cast of the wooden stairway wall that leads to Dutta's balcony and study.

The white paws, half an ear and half a face of an huge teddy approaches up the stairs Baji pulls out his gun!as the bear moves forward Baji yells, hey! what's this gimmick ?. Dutta slowly turns his eyes ,at the creature, Baji eyes expand and Sudarshan looks at Baji's face!.. Dutta looks up wide eyed at this specimen...episode ends. Hamlet53 21.10.13.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The episode, to me further throws light on Kala's investigative skills. In her list of suspects she leaves no stone unturned. It seems like a matter of survival for her to unveil the identity of the being who has thrown the spanner in her works. Whereas Dutta leaves the two serious incidents of PN, one Supriya's attack, and two Leela's attack, untreated.. Kala goes out and out to collect evidence, to unravel the truth about her serious incident.

Sudarshan along with being unscrupulous in money matters, is also seen as some kind of womanizer. Kala is all set to roast him whenever given the chance. Kala funnily enough has somehow taken to heart that Sudarshan poked fun of her husband Kishore by saying, that Kishore does no work, while he Sudarshan slogs. Sudarshan gives proof of his caustic remarks furthermore to Kishore at the end of the episode.

But to me the highlight of the episode has to be the short dialogue between Supriya and Naku. Certain questions came to my mind. When Dutta suggests that Naku keep Supriya's company for they share the same age group.Was Dutta in some way also sure that Naku would help to promote his persona? which ever way one looks at it, this is what happens.. Naku confirms , Saab's character, as angelic and helpful, sympathetic and generous in spirit. She also confirms his anger, but assures Supriya that his love for her will change that. Supriya perhaps considers telling the truth about herself and her boyfriend.. hoping maybe Dutta will understand , as he has a big heart..

The scene itself is emotional, as both women have their sentiments at stake, feelings that revolve around Dutta. Supriya, conceals her real feelings of loving someone else and not wishing to marry Dutta. While Naku carries on beyond her call of duty by selling her Saab in a big way to his future wife.When Naku relates her own experience regarding Saab's benevolence, it reminded me of moments when servants tend to relate snippets of their own life to bond with their master or mistress of the household..

Precap: Bhau did you get this pressie for vahini? teasesBaji, Dutta narrows his eyes.

Dutta's Study

The episode begins with an on red alert Baji! stuffing the nozzle of his pistol in the big white cuddly bears's mouth. Dutta looks on with his arm folded and curled up palm. Baji yells what is this? hey wait! and he smacks the teddy's cheek to one side. Behind the teddy's head is the body guard .Baji jerks, it's head as to what this thing was?. the BG says, this is a delivery for Bhau.. Dutta pulls his chin to one side and lowers his eyes. Naku who follows the BG on the wooden stairs carries a tray with refreshments . She comes to the landing, and giggles when Baji moans, this dimwit! give me a fright! and he snatches the bear from the BG saying, give it to me and you go now.. Baji throws the big bear up and catches it in his arms against him. The jog up in the air, trigger's the bear's battery operated voice,which says I LOVE YOU! Naku smiles as Baji says, damn it! you can talk as well!, Dutta turns his face to the side and lowers his eyes. Baji joggles the bear puts his arm around the bears neck and brings it before Dutta with a question, what is this Bhau? Dutta turns his face the other way, and with a serious face stands up from his desk and sheepishly heads back to his room. Baji looks down at the bears face and thumps it and follows Bhau into the room..and behind him comes in Naku too with her tea tray. Sudsarshan stands a moment, and supresses a laugh, and then goes down the wooden stairs. Baji calls out, Bhau! check it's weight he's heavy, probably eats like a glutton! sit down here! oye !sit down you can't even sit properly! he orders and plonks the teddy at the end of the settee. Baji looks sat Naku full of mischief and jerks his head at Dutta who stands quietly near the French door, his left hand rests against the wall looking out. Baji folds his arm in a punch and jerks his head towards Dutta and then at the bear... and Naku giggles, as Baji flattens and talks to the bear, you're crazy! want some tea ? then reaches for an empty cup and brings it to the bears mouth, go on drink it! won't charge you for it! here drink! drink! drink ! hey! what will you drink ? the cup is empty! , and Naku laughs and Dutta too looks at Baji with a smile, Baji carries on, pulls up the bear puts his arm around his neck , crosses his leg and cuddles the bear closer , tell me have you got a girl friend? come on tell me! how many? Naku smiles and looks at Dutta ,.. Baji says , one or two, tell me now?.. brings the bears mouth closer to his ear and says, really! hey he's getting silly now! and Dutta turns his face and rolls his eyes.Baji sits the bear on the settee and stands behind, him, and says, Naku don't you wonder how this bear has ended up in here? he should have been in the Anay or Pari's room! Naku nods , yes.. and Baji feels the back of his head with his arm, and says, noo not really ! I love you is a bit much for them! and for our vahini it's a bit too heavy for her! isn't that so Nakusha! you know it's heart is not really his! but it's Bhau's heart! Naku laughs , and Baji says, isn't that true Bhau ? Bhau did you get this present for vahini? and Dutta glares at him. Baji paces and say , I have seen , oldies become young in love many times, but for a young man to turn into child for the first time!. Dutta , yells, ey hero! shall I swing one under your ear! you all said get a gift.. so I phoned the shop , there you know the sales girl, she said, girls like such gifts, people give their girlfriends.. this.. Baji raises his palm in despair! Naku says.. Saab you are very simple.. and she turns to look at the bear sitting on the settee next to Baji .. this is something that school kids like. A confused Dutta admits, how am I expected to know all this?.. you both tell me.. Naku gives a broad smiles and says,something nice, like earrings, necklace, bracelets, Saab , girls love bangles!.Dutta looks hopeful, and Baji bucks Naku up, you're doing well carry on.. and encouraged, Naku continues, Saab whatever you give with love, she will hold close to her heart.. my babaa gave my Aye a silver ring , they may fight, whatever may happen , but she never takes the ring off. Dutta's face softens with her talk. Baji jumps up from the settee, come on then Bhau!, and Dutta says, oyee hero ! we are not going to buy a gun! Naku will go with us,.. Baji is speechless, what can I say... and Naku asks looking at the bear, Saab what shall I do with this bear? Dutta looks at her and says, you keep it, you were laughing, now laugh all you want.. she lowers her eyes and Dutta says, I am going to tell Aye Sahib, and he leaves.Naku looks at the bear with a big smile, and Baji picks him up and passes him to her, here take him koel! you keep this Englishman ! Naku carries him and Baji thumps its head, get lost! .. Naku looks at the bear's face lovingly and blows on its fur, she hugs him , and holds one of the bears paws and waltzes around the room.. holding him close in a warm embrace...

Dutta's , large land cruiser drives out.. for shopping.

Leela's Room

Roops is painting her sister Leela 's toe nails. Roops tells her off, don't move your feet! and Leela complains I am fed up of sitting!. hurry up!. Roops retorts if your are in such a hurry than go to the parlour, and Leela complains, how can I go like this with half painted nails! Roops teases, oh yeah! so cute isn't it?. Kala turns from the window in a strop! can't you shut up! you two! They both look snubbed, Kala says, only want to beautify yourselves! but your brains don't work! whose written this letter ? I can't solve! on top of it your rubbish chatter!. If this carries on that Bhau will get married and our lives will be wrecked! Leela complains , not again Tai the same topic! enough now stop it! you know I nearly died! I think it's Roops turn now.. Roops says , wow now my turn? cute isn't it? Leela looks at her and says, be quiet mad girl!. Kala hisses at them, both of you are cowards ! you are together , that's why nothing comes about right! but what difference does it make to you? for me it's very important to stop this marriage, once a new woman's game starts, then he won't see his sister or mother. Firstly I can't get hold of Supriya's weakness ! on top of of it Aye Sahib hovers around her! if only once I can meet Supriya on her own, my would be SIL. Roops corrects , not would be nearly, Tai today's henna, tomorrow engagement and then day after tomorrow wedding! so cute isn't it?. Kala reels around to face her, had you not been my youngest sister! I would have scratched you! come on then let's go and sit around vahini .. let's see for how long she'll remain silent... somewhere she is bound to open her mouth! after all she is a woman, hisses Kala. Leela refuses, sorry but I am doing no such thing.. Kala glares at them, when I say let's go! then you all come! if you sit here then you'll soon hear the wedding march! get up and come! she orders and stomps out of the room! Leela gives in , have to go now, come.. she tells Roops.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shopping

Dutta, Naku and Baji , browse in a ladies store. A sales assistant shows Dutta, a ready stitched garment. Baji stands beside a mannequin, feels it's chunni and puts his arm around it's shoulder. Naku saunters over to displayed bangles. She selects and feels a pair with her palm, and turns to Dutta who is busy at the counter opposite looking at clothes , Saab, look at these, they're nice aren't they?. He moves over to her and looks down at her selection. Then he carefully lifts the bangle holder and displays the bangles before Naku 's twinkling eyes... they will look lovely on Supriya Tai, buy them Saab.. Naku smiles approvingly. Baji turns to look at Bhau and Naku , and comes over , and says, what do think Bhau ?they're great! shall I get them packed? and Dutta replies, hummm. Baji smiles and moves over to the till, and Dutta follows him. Naku waits , and looks around and her eyes fall on a mannequin with a royal blue chunni with silver embroidery on it's head.. impressed by it, she moves towards the mannequin, and stands before it admiring the chiffon chunni with scalloped edges, she raises her hand to feel the material. The sales attendant notices her touching the garment , and calls out , excuse me!... then she comes over to Naku , what are you doing? leave it! don't know from where you've turned up from! Dutta turns his head and hears the sales girl's rough words. He slowly turns his body and walks towards Naku , as the salesgirl walks away. Naku stands by the mannequin , while Dutta glares at the girl. She looks back at Bhau worried, she then looks at Naku who still stands by the mannequin. Dutta moves towards Naku , and defiantly looks at the chunni, then at Naku's face. The other salesgirl warns the sales attendant, hey! what are you doing? he's Bhau , Bhau! the girl is with him! go and apologize!. The girl goes to Dutta, sir ! sorry sir!.. and Dutta looks at her face, and then turns to Naku , check it out! Naku , looks up into his narrow eyes, with her wide eyes and mumbles, umm I was just feeling it.. Dutta turns his eyes towards the chunni , and says, I've said , so try it on..

Naku takes the chunni off the mannequin gently as Dutta watches. She pulls it around her shoulders and then lifts it to the top of her head. Dutta watches her silently... it's nice, do you like it ? he asks. Naku smiles, me was.. only.. and he says , keep it... you taught me how to buy a gift, so I am giving you a gift.. hummm.. Naku smiles and hugs the chunni around her. Baji joins them and says, really Bhau! Naku looks so different! what do you say Naku ? , she smiles as she keeps the chunni around her shoulders, and Dutta with a serious face says, come on let's go.. and he moves off , but Naku stays back for a moment,happily she lifts the chunni and yet again puts it down on her head, smiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Patil Nivas

Dutta, Baji, Naku , return home after the shopping trip. Baji talks to someone on the phone, yes kaka, we need some trustworthy person from your village! Bhau has said so, he will be Supriya vahini's body guard, yeah body guard! yes!. Sethji enters doing kung fu fighting as Baji continues on the phone. Baji turns and looks at Sethji doing karate kicks and punches in space, and says on the phone, just hold on , I'll ring you back!.

He yells at Sethji oye half pants! you gone crazy? what the hell are you doing?, he replies with a big smile, hey Baji uncle! don't you know Judo Karate! for some time I have not practiced , now if I say something you'll think I am bragging! I tell you the truth, in my basti! in fact all of Mumbai ! I have a big name! yeah!. Baji crouches beside him, Sethji , you are mind blowing! made a mistake by sending you to school! this Bhau did honestly!, Sethji says, yes I am trying to sus out Bhau,.. I want to say that.. Bhau's would be wife need's a body guard, I am simply wasting my time at school! it would be better , that from now on I do this work,who knows I might become Bajirao one day isn't it? Baji says , that's my boy ! come on I'll give you a task , from tomorrow you become Supriya vahini's body guard! But... before that you have to do a small thing ..Baji shows him his palm, then closes it.. come on now you open my fist! Sethji not impressed, says , you should give me a bigger job! and Baji says, oyee! you do this first.. Sethji tries his hands at opening Baji's tightly clenched fist! He struggles, and Baji says , go on open it! and Sethji carries on, yes yes it'll be done!. Baji , rolls his eyes, and Sethji sweats on , yes! nearly done! but gets nowhere, and when Baji looks the other way , Sethji , sinks his teeth into his fist! Baji yells oyeee! get lost now! disappear! go to school! and Sethji complains, no one values me here! if it was Potia Seth! he would have given me work ,there and then! and Baji , shoos him off get lost!.. and Sethji leaves saying hoo! haah! doing karate moves!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guest Room

Supriya's mehndi palms are shown. Her, would be MIL and SIL's sit around her on her bed. She passes both her open palms ,one to Kala and the other to a professional Heena, stylist. All watch lovingly, as Roops says to Kala, Tai write Bhau's name on Supriya's palm. Kala looks at Roops , but doesn't say anything. Dutta enters the room carrying a red jewellery box. He stands clutching the box , as he looks from far that her hands are having henna applied to them. Aye sahib, notices him standing silently, and calls him , Dutta come!..and Supriya and his sisters look up at him, Aye asks , what have you got there?, a hesitant Dutta replies , holding on to the box, Aye.. this.. Roops , asks him, wow Bhau! this is for me, so cute isn't it?. Leela checks her, stupid! not for his sisters, it's for vahini! isn't that so Bhau?.Dutta nods silently. Supriya gives him a distant look, as he slowly moves up to the edge of the bed, steals an upward glance at Supriya and puts the red jewellery box before Supriya on the bed.. and then turns and walks out of the room, ceremoniously.

Kala picks up the box opens it, and exclaims, wow! take a look vahini! they are real diamonds! you have won Bhau's heart, that's why! this is how he will shower you with pearls and diamonds, so better get used to that, isn't that so Aye ? and Aye says, yes of course. Supriya looks weary and worried.. episode ends..Hamlet53. 23.10.13.

Precap~ Naku ,sees the reflection of her fair face in a kitchen utensil. Kala and Leela head for the kitchen and call her name, Nakusha!. Naku covers her face with her hands..

The episode is overall a fun one to watch, with Baji providing comic relief, right from the beginning of the episode to nearly the end, where Sethji too joins in with his churlish turns. Baji brings in a freshness which has a pleasing local ring to it, the way he moves , what he says, and the manner he says it in.. one word rapchik! awesome! His jabbering with the bear is amusing, so much so that even the surly dangerous Bhau mellows down to Baji's imaginative play..

However the main focus of the episode, to me has to be on the word gift. In fact the mention of a gift, seeps in from the previous episode where Aye , suggests Dutta get a present for Supriya. Then in this episode, carries on with his teasing Bhau.. gift of love!. Naku too refers to giving a gift to a loved one from the bottom of one's heart, she illustrates it with a personal example.

So what then is a gift? it is something to be given. A token of one's sentiments. There is gift giving and then there is gift receiving. So what then is the purpose behind a gift? , well there are many ,and the beauty of the present day commercial world is there are many gifts , ready packed with lots gift ideas for a variety of occasions.

Hence looking at the concept of giving gifts, it's done for a few reasons. There is gift giving, to move along with the norms of society, i.e, the done thing. This is mostly done to keep up appearances, usually on ceremonies. Gifts given to show esteem and respect for the receiving party. Gifts given to return favours.Gifts given to make up to some body, which is what Aye Sahib wanted Dutta to do. Then there are gifts which are given because the giver wants to, out of personal emotional reasons. For such gifts, the value of the gift does not matter, for it's the thought the gift that counts.. This gift Dutta gives to Naku in the form of the chunni.. he wants to say thank you to her for briefing him about what girls like.

Now even though Supriya ends up with diamonds, for Naku though, the best present or gift is her Saab's company and his undivided attention.. so for Naku who has nothing ends up having a lot to last her for times to come... hammie..
