Sex Ed & Roarπ€£βΊοΈ
Sam: "OK I can give everyone 10 minutes to look at her mehandi then I will kick everyone out so she can get ready for the sangeet.Most
people have started dancing downstairs, so u can go join the fun until we get the Iyer ponn? what was it Vandita? "Ponnoo?" (giggle) "ready"
Lakshmi: Apdiye movies la vara madiri irukkel neenga (u look like how they look in movies) (in awe)
II:Thanks Lakshmi, I like your mehandi also
All the girls had it on their hands some more elaborate than the others
Vandu: did she eat anything?
II:I only want to sleep ka
Vandu: Ummm... let me seee I am thinking after 20? 30 years? kyon Samyukta? (giggling at the coy joke)
Sam: Thats a bit early, I would say, 50 years is more like it (giggling)
Aish & Anusha stared their jaws dropping "They make fun of you like that?"
"Yes brutally every day since Ive been engaged" II said shyly "Infact from the time they realized I like him"
"In a way they set me up actually, they both are devious, its a strange coincidence his Akka and mine are such romantics" II muttered with a farawy look
Uma walked in to see II at the center being pampered, she sat by Anusha, " They do everything in North Indian style its not a Iyer wedding no" (pity?)
II ignored it, she was too boggled by her argument with the Dude and his "That is true actually" on the "Bored easily" insult
GOOD THEN BE BORED AND BE GONE... I DONT CARE...
I AM JUST A FOOL THAT FELL FOR YOU DA
RAKSHASAN
Anusha: we havent met him yet, Athai (II's Mom) said she would show us the pictures but she didnt
Vandu: He was just heading up the stairs (confused)
Uma:Is this the wedding hall? (INSULTING)
II: No... no... its Samyukta, ermm... my sister in law, I mean his sister's house (pointing to a GORGEOUS Sam in a lovely peach lehanga and pink gold jewelry)
"SHE is ur sister in law?" Uma askes shocked
"Hmmm... Why?" II asked confused
"Ille she looks so beautiful I thought must be some movie star" Uma said
Sam: YAYYY... Ishita I am going to compete for those movie roles with you, Usha?
Uma? I am married with two kids I have a 10 year old and almost 3 months old girl"
Uma: Why Ishita?
Sam: Well, someone that came to my baby shower my husband's friend he asked us if she will star in a movie they are producing
Anusha was not happy it was evident
Sam: I DIDNT KNOW then, but this was meant to be, she was supposed to be my bro's wife so its good Ishita rejected the offer
Anusha: Athimber(Mr Iyer) would have jumped of a cliff, if Ishita signed a movie (dismissive)
II: I have to be secretly gone for a year and make it happen (giggling)
Sam: Oh! helllooo!! U have to ask my brother too if u forgot, Appa's disapproval doesnt cut it any more, R&B is the boss
II squirmed... "Gee! Thanks for reminding" she muttered
Vandu was rearranging the room picking up with Sam
Lakshmi: Yaar R&B?"
II: Oh, he identifies himself like that, Raman Bhalla, R&B is a style of music called Rhythm & Blues,
he is very quiet and brooding so he has been labelled that, the style of music, is somber, so it fits well
Sam: OMG!! SUCH A LONG EXPLANATION... mmm...mmm (clapping)
II got up... "Ummm"
Lakshmi: Do u need help getting ready? (confused by the explanation, trying hard not to be overwhelmed by the glitz and glamor of the house and its people)
Anusha: Will u live in Delhi?
II: Hmmm...
Anusha: where do they live?
II:U know where the embassies are? 5 blocks from the US embassy
Anusha's eyes became wide she didnt say anything
Vandu: Ishita get up kanna lets get ready your friends are downstairs
Amma was explaining everything to Janaki Athai in a corner letting the girls giggle around II
Athai: She looks lovely I cannot believe she is so beautiful
Amma: These days kids are careful about caring for themselves and their clothes etc (Amma down played her daughter's gorgeous looks, very modestly)
Athai: She is so uncaring and playful its good to see her be feminine
Amma:After what happened Akka last year with that boy I cant say I have slept peacefully
even one night, until this boy came and asked her to marry him. I know there is career and
money and job, but after we are gone how long can she depend on Vandita? U know ur younger brother/Tanjore Chithappa he doesnt even care for my kids"
Athai: Dont cry Madhu... U guys are caring for Anna also, I cant even care for my own Anna I am so pathetic...
Amma:Please dont say that, atleast you are our well wisher, my daughters have you... in the whole entire family... no one else
Athai:Its goo she found a good family, is there to Amma, the boy's Amma I mean
Amma: No, she passed away 4 years ago
Athai: the sister is lovely and caring Madhu... she is in charge it looks like... the one in the purple maxi (Manny's expensive designer dud turned into "maxi" by clueless Athai)
is she also a sister? she has the same face...
Amma: Yes she lives in Australia, Ph D padikara (studying), paiyan MBA MS rendum padichirukkan (the boy is an MBA and an MS)
Athai: Ur brothers and Jayam (Athai's her older sister) both will be envious (giggling)
Amma:The best part is none of this was planned... the boy worked with her liked her and approached us Ishita has good values also, instead of running
away like Jaya Akka's daughter Radha (there! Amma was getting her revenge) she came to us and cried, your brother (Mr Iyer) did not agree at all, but what to do?
These days youngsters are so adamant, but the boy is very nice.
Athai heaved a sigh of relief "I am very happy for you Madhavi, I was worried after Subbu u know, our community is very punitive towards girls for no reason,
your daughter is so educated and accomplished YET has to follow the tenets of the Iyers"
Amma:Your brother and I have raised them that way, what to do, our fault
II walked over to Amma to show off her mehandi
Amma:Lovely raja, they say u must write the boy's name did you?"
II squirmed, "Umm ille" shook her head
Amma was surprised "Why? I hear if the boy finds it he gets a gifts if he doesnt she gets one? U wont get a gift now"
II smiled at Amma's innocence... "Hes is very different Ma he may not like all that" II evaded
Athai: U look nice kanna, tell the paiyyan TO BE GENTLE WITH YOU
AYYYOOO!!!! SEX ED FROM ATHAI
AYYO SOMEONE KILL ME PLEASE... AMMA, PLEASE NO I DONT WANT IT, ASK HER TO TELL IT TO THE RAKSHASAN!
II: Neenga solrela (will u tell him PLEASE?)
Athai winked knowingly "Kootindu vaa solren, idula enna irukku," (Bring him, I will tell him)
FEARLESS ATHAI...
Amma: U will mee him ka soon, u must tell him
(Amma was happy to see her daughter be embarrassed, things were delayed by a year but were HAPPENING, she was DELIGHTED)
Jaya Athai wandered in along with Narayanan Mama's wife Rama...
The girls were giggling in one corner looking at videos on the phone
Amma composed herself
Jaya Athai: So daughter is all ready to be sent off?
Amma: looks like it (happy)
Jaya: Punjabis are a world apart, NOTHING LIKE US (IN ENGLISH)
Amma was HORRIFIED
II began texting with her friends downstairs...
REALLY? IN THEIR HOUSE, IN THEIR LOUNGE U HAVE TO SAY SUCH THINGS IN ENGLISH
Amma shushed Athai "This is their house"
Jaya Athai:Will she live here? Its a BIG BUNGALOW! Is it rented?"
"ROMBA MUKYAM" Amma thought (very imp for YOU to know THAT)
Amma: Samyukta her naathanar (SIL) owns this house, Ishita's house will be in Malcha Marg (proud)
Jaya Athai:Near the embassy? (shocked)
Amma: yes yes, they have been living in Chanakya puri for 40 years the house looks
like they show in movies, grand... all glass and Italian marble every where, water fountains and lawns (Amma gushed happily)
Jaya Athai:What do they do, they own workshops?
amma: they have a turnover of Rs.20,000 crores or something the son is not even involved he has his own company in paris
Jaya Athai:Did u check it all out? I read in Kumudam on family claimed to be all this in Teynampet and it all turned out that they had rented it like a movie set
Janaki Athai was horrified
REALLY? TWO DAYS TO THE WEDDING AND U ACCUSE THE GROOM OF BEING A CON ARTIST?
II looked up from her phone shocked, Amma eye signalled her to keep quiet
Amma: Ishita works with them, she goes to the office every day, she has attended
parties at their home for months now, they have to be really wealthy to rent an entire house in Malcha Marg for three months
Amma sniggered
Jaya Athai: Oh! THATS how they fel in love?
Amma: U can say that (smug)
Jaya Athai: I am just saying, be careful
LIKE SHE REALLY CARED FOR ISHITA
After Subbu'a alliance broke off Jaya athai "graciously had sent over a "divorcee's alliance" for II
Amma had spent DAYS in bed crying about it... fearing II will never be able to marry normally like other girls in the family for NO FAULT of hers
II had many friends she was closest to 4 from Kendriya Vidyalaya and 4 from college. Kritika Lata Meera and Madhu from KV were all married and lived in Delhi
They were the gang of "FIVE", of the college ones, three were married... Chanda and Fareeda were, Diya and Evelyn werent... almost all lived in Delhi
Except for Diya and Meera...
amma: u should go get changed kanna, did he come see you? (proud)
II nodded "Mmm"
Jaya Athai: Ayyyoo seee vekkam... she s 28 and she is SHY? NIIICE, my daughter Radha is such a tomboy
Amma thought "thats why she ran away to Sweden first and then call you"
Janaki Athai: Shyness is a jewel , especially the best jeewelry a bride can wear... (firm)
Jaya Athai looked at the walls and the windows enviously ignoring her sister's jab
Sam came in "Ishitaaa, dont done, tumhara miya bhi neeche aa chuka first dance is over too, Manny and Vik... (ur fiance's is downstairs u are not even ready?)
Ii stood up sheepishly, Vandu came in with her outfit... they dragged her to another room
Draped her in the pink lehanga with fine gauzy embroidery all over with a navy embroidered trim, and a skimpy navy blouse with arc like
embroidered patterns in gold. Two makeup/hair experts worked on her hair and face...
They were done in an hour
"SUCH A GORGEOUS OUTFIT Samyukta, you have good taste"Vandu said in awe, taking a picture
"MY BROTHER HAS, JUST LOOK AT HER" Gushing
Vandu walked over and hugged Samyukta "Its rare to find people like you you know"
Sam: Likewise!!!
They led II downstairs as the entire hall of 100+ people turned in awe... as Ishita Iyer stepped down to watch her sangeet
Raman Bhalla leaned on a wall in far corner one foot up, changed into a orange Lacoste tee after feuding with wife-to-be had left his kurti smeared with henna
Nandan, Shravu and the kids from Iyers and Bhalla's danced in the center to Katy Perry's "Roar"
