Promising intro!

I notice you've winched everybody up several notches in class terms. Interesting. Manav is fairly irresistible even as a mechanic; as a surgeon, mmm...........😊 hmmmmmm......since we are in Dreamer's mode, why dream about bread when we can dream about gateaux au chocolat?

If you're actually taking M & Bs as your model, Betty Neels used to to focus on doctors, if I remember right. Though of course she specialized in a particular combo: Dutch doctors and English nurses. Uh..huh, I am not using M&B as a model, that has been demanded by Candyfloss girl (Piya)

Yes I know abt Doc-Nurse romances and I personally find them 🤢 (dunno why) So Arch is not a nurse..... no way

Looking forward to the next episode. Tonight.........

The Deshmukh Household

Vishwaasrao Deshmukh took his place at the head of the table. He had just finished his cup of tea. Sitting alone and at peace, he was reading the newspapers. His younger brother Damodar was a stage actor and had carved a name for himself in his field. A much sought after actor, this man was still very down-to-earth …… approachable and affable. Fame had blessed him and so had money subsequently. As a family they lacked nothing.

In his younger days for Vishwaasrao, things were different. He hadn't been so well off then. Having lost his young wife in childbirth, he had vowed never to be short of funds. He had gone off to Africa to do some trade and had never looked back. He went on to learn about the different trends of cashew farming. He returned ten years later with enough money to buy estates for cashew crop. And then he had expanded into fruit farming. Whilst in East Africa, he sent money home. His brother was finding his feet in his profession and had little time for his family. All the while, Savita, his brother's wife had taken care of everything. She was the pillar in the house and she ran it with precision. She saved money, looked after all the finances and took care of her three beautiful children.

Manav was the oldest and the most endearing. He was particularly fond of him. A tall handsome lanky young man, he was the apple of his eye. Helpful and loving to the core, it never took him long to make a place for himself in anyone's heart. He was a bright student, and Vishwaas rao himself had encouraged Manav to chose a career of his liking and pursue it. So Manav had chosen medicine and then orthopaedics as his specialisation. He had left for foreign shores six years ago and was learning whatever he could there. He loved his family dearly.

Sachin was the second son. He was a roguish fellow who loved people and who loved life. Naughty as a young boy, he had hardly changed. He was still wonderfully cute in a boyish kind of a way. Whenever Vishwaas rao tried to lecture him on taking life seriously, he'd shrug it off with a joke. Always in need of money, he used devious means of getting it from his parents and his uncle. They saw through his outrageous fibs but indulged him anyway. He had found himself a girl called Shravani. The elders tried to talk him out of the relationship, because they had seen that this girl was quite lustreless.

Vandita was the youngest.

So Dr. Manav is finally here... Dr. nikita was waiting eagerly.
