Epilogue
Lakshya Maheshwari went on to set up a high-end print shop called Patachitra Print Solutions. Within a short while, he identified the best quality manager he could find... someone who combined an unshakeable commitment to the firm's interests as well as high standards in execution: Ragini Maheshwari.
They both took short-term courses in printing technology to better equip themselves for running the business. There is no doubt that the husband-wife duo were the force behind Patachitra's phenomenal success in the years to come.
Their work also demanded a high level of socialising and Lakshya and Ragini came to be known in high society circles as something of a power couple. She was feted for her contribution to her business, her beauty, her sense of style as well as her enviable collection of fine saris. Lakshya received much appreciation within the family and outside for building something of his own.
In the next few years, Sanskaar Maheshwari chose to consolidate his business rather than diversify. He consciously cut back on his personal work commitments, delegated more and focused a little more on home... making sure that he enjoyed every moment of both spheres.
Swara Maheshwari maintained a lower profile socially compared to her sister, preferring to focus on good works, contributing to various cultural and social charities with her time and resources.
The sisters 'Swaragini' decided to postpone the opening of their dream music school by a few years. Instead they devoted considerable time to their own 'taleem', seeking to intensify their own sadhana before setting out to teach others. They both took up learning Hindustani khayal gaayiki again and Maheshwari Mansion was treated regularly to their riyaaz sessions.
Swara delivered a baby boy quite according to her own schedule. They called him Shvaas. Swara managed to get back to her various activities in reasonable time after the birth of her son, but it was quite difficult hereafter to send Sanskaar to work.
Although troubled by delayed conception and a difficult pregnancy that was as traumatic for her husband as it was irksome for her, Ragini delivered a baby girl four years after the eventful Ganga Yatra. She was named Bhairavi - one of Ragini's favourite ragas, and because Lakshya "wanted another Ragini".
