Varsha,
Thanks! I am able to escape from my temporary charges every now and then, thanks to the nonstop Olympics coverage that keeps them glued to the TV for half the day, and I can thus start trawling the forum without feeling guilty or worrying about what they might be up to.
I am off to look for your 'bun' post that bee5 referred to, but I must underline that I too thought that
what Sulochana did was not only a very stupid thing to do, but also an extremely insensitive thing to do. Ovi is devastated and delusional about Arjun, and Sulochana has been fully briefed by Archana about her reaction, and that of other Deshmukhs, to her announcing that she had approved the Arjun-Purvi marriage. It is unbelievable that, against this background, any sane person, that too such a senior one with so much experience of the world, would then go across to the distraught family and
beam at them while inviting them to an event that is calculated to plunge Ovi even deeper into her slough of despond. I really do not know what to say that will not contravene the norms of decency, not to speak of the forum rules.
As for Laurie's AK Q T pi, I am with you in preferring, well, not quite the original AK, who was too much of a Boss from Hell, but the halfway one, the one at the Pune conference, for example. He was just at the right stage then- neither too
sakht , nor too
naram,
as he is now - in fact like a dish done to perfection, a bit more and it goes too soft.
Now, while one is glad that he is not seeking the blessings of all the senior staff by touching their feet, he is still a little too eager to please, as when he lunged at Farooq Bhai's feet and made me do a double take. It was just plain silly. Too much of Purvi's
sanskaars seem to have rubbed off on him; I hope he outgrows them soon, as otherwise this overdose of
mithaas towards all and sundry, beginning with the artistically sniffling and coughing peon, will give me an attack of diabetes.
I am endemically distrustful of an overdose of
sanskaars. If Purvi had had a little less of them and had not fallen at Manav's feet at the
dahi handi event, uttering 'baba' in ringing tones, she would never have been kidnapped. And as Ovi had rescued herself from Vishnu thanks to her excellent reflexes and her presence of mind, NO ONE would have been kidnapped at all, Gives one to think, does it not?

HI shyamala good to see u posting...Hi Bee and rest..
One comment from me only.
Its not the Savita who is Mawali, its Sulo who is the mawali of all...
I respect the like and feeling bad for sulo but no one in right mind would do what she did today. No one in their right mind would defend Sulo and her actions IMHO
Carry one you all and enjoy your topic...Have fun..
ADD: FOrgot to mention good to see Arjun back in 3 piece suits...We all knew the poor fatichar mechanic Arjun w/o family name living in a chawl would be just a temporary project...No son of Digvijay Kirloskar is going to live that life style...What a lame challange...
Confident assertive no nonsense Arjun bann gaya Sanskari Arjun 😆
I like Arjun 😃 But the old one...not the new and improved one temporarily 😆
