Tape Recorder/ Radio for Simran

It was very sweet of Sia to gift a radio to Simran, so that Simran can keep herself updated. 😊

I don't understand one part though, how come Simran did not have a music system or at least a primitive radio at home ? Shocking 😲 !!! There are so many 24 hours news channel where she can get the news.

But NO, Sia has to come and show her yet another idiotic move of buying radio for Simran mom and then asking Shaguna - Aayee, mera breakfast ready hai? Mujhe jaana hai!!! But did not forget to hug mom before leaving.

good point chikoo, I'm about to start a thread on this. funny thing is no one cares to give her a walking stick 😭

and sometimes I feel, abhi should express his love towards simran by making himself blind similar to ghandhari in mahabharatha. But, i feel again, why am I comparing this stupid role with the great Ghandhari.

Very good point!
I always felt that Ghandhari should not have closed her eyes (the whole Mahabharata could have been avoided then) , I respect her viewpoint though. Can't change the history, but can learn from it. 😃

but simran never learns from her past experiences. Need to feed in neural networks software into her brain so as to make her learn from previous experiences

Try that! I'm sure software installation will crash complaining for old harware - need newer system 😃

LOL...

I think Sinhaji is running out of ideas on simran-sia. So he is introducing all these - radio gifting, wearing saree ulta, Abhi helping in keeping the bhindi and correcting lipstick, Simran trying to touch the pillows and identifying colors

Hope to see much more incidents like this 😳

Could not agree more!! I don't want to start a discussion on Mahabharat😉 but that to me was a most un-wise act. Instead of guiding and supporting her husband, she decided to sail in the same blind man's boat..Not a wise thing but then that's history. Not much can be done about it now.

If you have two toddlers running around all the time, you would be tying the saree, wearing the bindi, putting on lipstick literally having your eyes closed... and I have found that I have not tied my saree 'ulta' even one time...

Actually Mr Sinha, it is time, Simran learnt Brail.

Dont want to digress into Mahabharat here but Gandhari was offended when her father insisted that she should marry Dhritrashtra because she was considered to be among the most beautiful ladies of the time. She tried to rebel saying that why am i being married to a blind man who cannot appreciate my beauty, who will never be the king because of his handicap and my skills that are considerably geared towards being a queen will be wasted for my life? Her father did not listen to her and said that Hastinapur was a reputable match politically, so she had no choice. As a rebellion for having her entire life 'ruined' she decided to blind herself so as not to allow her husband-to-be the satisfaction of helping him out. It was her pride that made her tie up her eyes, not her 'satitva' as later translations of the Mahabharat would make us believe. There are some good essays written by some Marathi authors and some discussion in the 'Discovery of India', 'Chanakya's Arthashastra' that lend credence to the pride of Gaandhaari. Actually, if she had not rebelled in such a fashion, her brother Shakuni would not have accompanied her to Hastinapur either.

Sorry if this is not pertinent to the thread, but i could not resist. Analysis of mythological texts - indian, and otherwise, is a passion of mine and i tend to get carried away when i hear the word 'historical' attached to some of them 😊
