Fantastic+fun answers to all the questions Ush...I thoroughly enjoyed reading them...SInce you're getting thru the Qs in supersonic speed, I thought I'll throw some your way , just in case u get complacent 😃

re bold - I think you know me really well...and I know you well enough to know that some really tough questions are coming my way 😆

1.Loved ur answer on Rama's purrfect day but what would Usha's perfect day be like?...Imagine bujju is safely and soundly looked after, so you can relax and enjoy yourself...

Are you sure you want to know - it's pretty bland and boring...any way here it goes. My perfect day would have all of these - enjoying a good movie at home curled up on the sofa, getting a surprise gift of a good book, going on a long drive with a good friend (who does the driving, as I can't drive 😳), a refreshing afternoon nap and waking up to find that the Shagun and Kanpur tracks in Navya were all part of my nightmares and Anya are still in that "kya yahi pyar hai?" phase 😃, having a nice cup of tea with samosas (the proper ones you get in India, not the ones we get here), finding and loving a new piece of music that I haven't heard before...

2.Dukhi atma one reads smuggled copies of phoolan devi's, aung suu kyi's and jordan's parts 1 to 6 (😆) autobiographies... Rama liked the glittery pictures and bought them at big bazaar's buy a teabag get 3 books free promotion (She threw them out after she felt Mohan might be led astray)...

In the light of a single sooty candle, in the deep damp dark bajpai dungeon/cellar, DA1 reads them in secret under the bahana of grinding special herbs for boo-ah-dadi...She decides enough is enough and that change is long overdue...How would she go about it?

Location - deep damp dark Bajpai cellar - DA Sr has just finished reading the above mentioned krantikari materials. There is a steely glint in her eyes. She calls DA Jr and they whisper - after some initial apprehension, DA Jr nods her head in complete agreement. End of scene.

The morning after the night before - buadadi is in her chamber, having her favourite cuppa - lukewarm gangajal with a dash of tulsi, when DA Sr walks in. Bd is giving her usual stream of volleys without looking up at DA Sr, when DA Sr says "Basss" - stunned bd looks up - gets the shock of her life to see DA Sr in a new avatar - she is wearing Jordan style clothes and carrying Phoolan Devi's rifle, hair styled like Suu Kyi...the rifle is pointing at bd's head. Bd cries out "bhaisaaab"... DA Sr: "Chaliye mere saath - chup chaap chaliye" (she still uses aap - after all bd is elder, na?)

In the hall, bd is added to the roundup of other Bajpai high council members - udi and angry papa. Udi is gulping/staring/gulping, and angry papa is sulking. They look put out. Hearing the commotion, Mohan, chachaji, Rama and Ramu run into the vast expanse that is the Bajpai residence ka living room.

DA Sr asks DA Jr to take over rifle pointing duties and, hands on her hips (Kanpur taiji style), makes a speech: "There's been a coup in this house. For a long time, my pyaari behen here and I have been crushed under the weight of the three of you" - here she is interrupted:

Angry Papa thunders "dimaag kharab ho gaya tumhara?"

Buadadi flicks her neck and says"satyaanaash, kabhi apni wazan dekhi hai aaine mein? Bhala hum teen tun donon ko kirus (crush) karne ke baare mein soch bhi nahi sakte"

Shot of Rama's bhola face and indignant expression.

Udi suddenly goes "khaaamoshhh"

DA Sr gives out a big laugh (similar to the one mentioned in your post above, let me copy-paste it for those struggling to recall) MWAHA HAHA HAHA HAHA HA

DA Sr continues "Aap khamosh! Bahut ho gaya - ab hum aur wallpaper banke nahi rahenge! Inquilaab zindabaad!" She stares at DA Jr who hesitates, then goes " Haan jiji, zindabaad zindabaad" - camera zooms on the faces of every one present in the room. Udi takes out a tablet and is looking for a jug of water/juice to demonstrate solvent-solute-solution theory. DA Sr takes out a long piece of paper containing the revolutionary changes that she is bringing about in the household. As she is just about to start reading, she hears a faint "main...woh...woh...main" from the doorway - she stops and is surprised to see our very own devi Navya, with arched eyebrows and one tear gently falling down her cheek. DA Sr softens and looks at her. Navya makes the following speech - please note, this is the abridged version - those who are looking for the full version insert liberal doses of "main...woh" and scared looks in between...

Navya: Maa ji, yeh galat hai - aap logon ka kaam sirf wallpaper banke rehne ka hai - serial ka naam Navya hai, Sugandha nahin, toh main martyr banke inki seva karungi, heart, hair, nerves sab donate karungi aur pareshaan mat hoiye, jab SP wale is show ko finally the door dikhayenge, tab yeh log apne aap sudhar jaayenge...tab tak please aap log wallpaper duties resume kijiye...

DA Jr: gives confused look, doesn't know what to do...

DA Sr: Haan beta...tum thik kehrahi ho...tears well up in her eyes...she touches Navya's head...senti scene between saas and bahu...Shot of Rama making a face... High council trio heave a sigh of relief! Bd goes "HOP" ... phir kya, normality is restored in Bajpai khandaan and the trio live happily ever after...

3.The best 3 moments in your life so far... Before u start typing, mujhe bhi ek shart hai ala CSB: Exclude all baby-related mommments cos I'm sure they'll top any list...

*hurriedly presses the backspace button to erase all baby related comments* - ok, here goes:

1. when I received a compliment and a heart-to-heart talk from a totally unexpected person - someone I was always having run-ins with - it was a very surprising revelation, which paved the way for a good friendship, and we are still close till date, although geographically far apart...

2. the last day I spent with my granny - we had such a good time, I'll always remember her the way she was that day...

3. the day my mum said she was really proud of me - it's not everyday that I manage to please her, so it was very special indeed...

4.Five things u like about yourself...This list will be verry long, but be kaboo not bekaboo

Actually the list would've been fairly short, but you wanted five, so here it goes:

I like that...

1. I am a caring person

2. I am financially independent

3. I am not materialistic

4. I can keep secrets

5. I don't hesitate to say sorry

5.Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

Ande dene wale praanis include chicken, ducks, etc etc and some teachers - God is kinder than that, so I'll say chicken 😊

See, all eazy-peazy Qs that barely strain a neuron...Before you start thinking With friends like these who needs enemies, I'll stop and give u the rest of ur Qs later...After all, we have the whole week to look forward to, hai na...😃 Hari Om Prabhuji *shakes head*...
