Okay, guys I know many of you guys have some questions or some doubts with this short story. Everything and I mean everything in this SS is not to be taken seriously. I am just showing what life is "really" like for Maan after being married which am sure that almost everyone goes through their life.
Have any of you watched the show "king of queens" at least those that are living in US? The dad character is inspired by him and I will be including some of his scenes into this SS to show how crazy Mohindar really is. Those of you guys have no clue what i am talking about below is the video of the character Author.

Chapter 2
I hope today is going to be a normal day for me without any trouble but who am I kidding every day there is something or the other going on. I am one woman army trying to do everything all at once. Everyone in this house drives me nuts, my kids, my dad, grandmother and not to mention my husband Maan. Yeah, he works hard and try his best to handle everything but sometimes I feel like he is not as involved. ugh good thing I have help around here or else nothing would've gotten done everyone is just so depended on me for everything.
The table was set for seven people's breakfast and everyone had different tastes and different demands. ha demands. Everyone in the house knows not to demand anything from me especially when they won't be helping me fulfill their demands. Everyone, except for my dad and grandma, gets the same breakfast whether they like it or not. The kitchen is always open for them to eat whatever they want and make whatever they want. Why couldn't I have normal family?
It was 7:30am now and slowly everyone will make their way down to the dining table. Grandma is always the first person on time to show up, followed by my dad who can be stubborn like myself and finally followed by kids who get ready on their own. I have a rule with them, if they don't get dressed by themselves on time then they will be attending school in their pj's and I have done that once with Maanavi who refused to get ready because she didn't get to play outside the day before. You would think that after a while I would feel bad. What a joke. You know what I did? I dragged her out of the bed and carried her to her school just like that. Ever since then no one messes with me. Living in this house you have to learn how to tackle certain people your own way.
"Good morning mom" (My oldest daughter Akira who is sweet and lovable just like me.)
"Good morning beta...here is your breakfast." (Since today is Tuesday everyone eats aloo ki roti.) "Where is your brother and your sister?"
"They are getting ready and coming down soon. Where is papa?"
Maan he will take his own time to come down. He usually comes down when everyone is close to finish eating. i know he tends to avoid sitting at the same table with my dad. Not because they hate each other its because they dislike each other. Both gets into argument over small things.
"He will be down soon..why don't you eat first I will be right back"
Its time to go to the office where I can get some peace and quiet. I know Geet is waiting for me but I won't go until my father-in-law is almost finish with his breakfast. He is so stubborn just like Geet. You know the saying like father like daughter. Geet thinks that she is so nice and lovable like Akira puh-lease if only she knew. Of course, I can't tell her that unless I want to get killed. I slowly take my time getting ready everyday. I take at least 20 minutes to get ready or more if I am lucky everyday.
"Maan are you ready yet? You have to eat and I don't want to be late for work"
"I am getting ready Geet...will be down soon"
"I know you are taking your sweet time..." (She barges into the room...) "Not today Maan..."
"What are you doing..I am not a baby..i can get ready" (Geet quickly buttoned his shirt, helped him fix his tie (Strangling him a little bit to show her anger) and helps him put on his shoes and socks.
"There you are ready in five minutes..."
"My hair..let me do that at least"
"you had your chance" (She brushes her hair harshly making him scream in pain on purpose) "You are worse than the kids...lets go down now. She holds his hand dragging him down the stairs."
Maan gives a normal smile to his dadima while he just looks at his father-in-law who also acknowledges him the same way. The kids were down silently eating which meant something was up. Rohan was busy reading newspaper, Maanavi was eating fast, why was she in a hurry? while Akira silently ate.
"Rohan you are only five why are you reading a newspaper for?"
"Dad its important to see what's going on around the world."
"Maanavi how many times do i have to tell you to dress like a little girl should be? Why are you wearing boy shorts and grow your hair like your sister Akira"
"Mom not again...I like my short hair and I like wearing shorts. Anyway, I have to go soon. i have to meet up with somebody"
"Good morning Maanavi ma'am" (Everyone looked at a little boy wearing glasses nervously looking down while Maanavi gave him I-am-gonna-kill-you glare.) "I am here to escort you to your class today"
"Why is he calling you ma'am for? What did you do to the poor boy?" (Geet said in anger)
Maanavi looks around as all eyes were on her. Rohan puts down his newspaper smiling at her state while Akira just pretends she doesn't know what is going on. She nervously starts to laugh, something that Geet does when she is caught (Maan noted mentally)
"ohh mom chill he is just playing around right Arnav?" (She glares at the boy who just looked equally as confused as everyone)
"But this week is my turn to escort you it says so in the chart"
"teri toh" (Maanavi yells out loud in anger at the boy who just runs away in fear. Geet gives this-is-all-your-fault look to Maan who didn't know what was going on)
"Who was that? Tell me the truth"
"Her bitch..."
"Rohan" (Maan reprimanded him for using that word)
"What everyone was thinking it.."
"Maanavi wait till you get home tonight" (Geet warned her)
"Fine but worry about grandpa who is about to throw his pills away" (Mohindar puts his hand down after being caught. Maaavi laughs and runs away followed by all the kids)
"Dad how many times do I have to tell you to take your medication. Its good for you"
"I don't want to..these pills will not help me. I will not be subjugated and controlled to these medicines..."
"Like anyone can control you" (Maan muttered to himself as he drank his morning coffee)
"Why do you have to behave worse than my kids? Maan make him understand...I am getting late and I can't go until I know dad takes his medication."
"Leave it Geet if he thinks he is okay then fine...who are we to force him" (Maan looks at Mohindar happily) ST: At least there would be one less person in this house for me to handle.
"Oh you want me to leave early don't you? Well Maan let me tell you I am not going to leave this earth this easily..never" (He screams like a baby Geet just sighs)
"Oh yeah then I will see how you live peacefully either. Count your days old man" (Both glared at each other with determination and anger. While Dadima just sat there enjoying the show as if her favorite soap drama was on.
"You guys are hopeless. I have to go and dad I have counted your medicine if I find out that you didn't take yours meds then I am not taking you to the park tonight"
"What that is not fair. You can't do that to me."
"Yes I can."
"I will go by myself then"
"You promise?" (Maan said with happiness knowing very well he is bad with directions and will tend to loose himself but who was he kidding. No matter what he will find his way back home.)
"Ugh you guys are nuts..I am leaving now"
"Wait up honey I am going too"
Maan knew about Geet counting his meds so before he followed Geet outside he went into the kitchen where his meds were kept and added one extra pills in all of his bottles that he had gotten from his doctor. Lets see how you go to the park and enjoy yourself when you make me suffer at home old man. He laughs out loud.
