Pride & Prej with a twist - Page 22

Yes Kawaljeet is perfect for Akash

And Akash Khurana as Satyen?

We can reverse it also since Kawaljeet is tall

LOVE the choices

Sudhi, kiddo YOU are the CUTEST!

Vee, I almost spit my tachi mammu on my key board when I read "MANY are queueing up", I hope I dont make Smrita into a caricature

Kalpana, Viveka is one of a kind. I am hoping in my mind I can keep all the characters separate... EACH ONE of the leading ladies should be distinct, at least they are inside my head. What is the fun if they all blend together? but only have beautiful names. Nope, no fun

I have tried to make Viveka very unassuming, but smart and compassionate and possessing a very tasteful choice in attire, and very nerdy, and eager to talk about what drives her and keeps her going.

Her first love will always be Economics. I find that idea very refreshing

Raanav has to fight for a spot in her mind

Ditto!!! I imagined neenaji for anubha ❤️

Satyen is persistent😁😁😁

Love this story. Satyan is so cute. He slightly reminds me of Ranjan.

Nisha,

Good that you didn’t waste the precious hour and half and get your BP elevated.

We need a Robinhood to raise against the atrocities for the sake of common man.

I couldnt watch last night Kalps, I was writing my story, I didnt have any Asia calls so I am like "Chuck it!"

Neither are worthy of my attention. One is a Dem stooge, the other, a complete psycho and nut case.

Iam disappointed for all those people like us who work hard, pay their taxes and cant even get a decent person in office

Kamala is another corrupt amoral POS. I am ashamed she is an Iyer/Tamilian/Indian.

I am going to write in my choice as freehand

Come up with whatever name comes to mind that moment

Kanwaljeet is the best father image i have seen in tv☺️☺️

Value

Veev didn’t realize until Akash told her that she no longerhad her power cord. She usually set her laptop on the docking station at night

Anubha would discover what happened and she would againargue with him

But before that….

“You want to apologize? Or should I?” she mumbled, textingher admin to move her 9 AM to 11, so she could complete her Istanbul tripreport to claim reimbursement

“Lets go at 3” he growled

They counted in their mind and chorused “I am sorry”

“Bache pagal kar dete hain hamey” he mumbled

“No reason for you to leave the bed” she was still upset

“sorry jaan” he sighed

“Its creepy you guys, quit cooing to each other like that”Karuna sat and dragged the dining table chair

“Neeche Mr Mehta ke ghar se har hafte complaint aati haibeta, quit dragging”

“Quit smooching your husband”

“Stop it” Anu laughed

“Tum to aise hi paida ho gayi beta” Akash laughed

“Ughhhh you guys are sick”

“Aur pehni kya hui ho tum?”

“SKIRT” S-K-I-R-T

“Karooo” Anu warned

“You guys were at each others’ throats an hour ago, oh nowyou are suddenly besties?”

“No lovers actually” Anu laughed hysterically

“MAAAA grosssss” she left without eating, just grabbing aparantha

“Akele ja rahi ho?”

“Diyooo is soooo salooooww”

“To ruko, akele mat jao”

“Its DAY LIGHT”

“I know that… but phir bhi, Diya tumhari Veev di ki tarahhai hosh mein nahi rehti” Akash reminded

“I have a class at 9:30” she shouted

“Ruko dekhti hoon Naina di ready ho to, she will give u aride”

“Can I get my own car?”

“Get 100% in all subjects in mid term I will get u a prius”

“SURE? I mean don’t shit me Ma” Karuna jumped up and down

Akash looked away

“Anu yeh skirt pehankar jaayegi?”

“Beta tights pehno neeche”

“Ma its MAY, it’s a bajilllion degrees out”

“I am sorry, skirt bahut chooti hai”

“Can we go look at a prius?”

“Its for both of you to SHARE, IF AND IF ONLY U BOTH get a100 all the way”

“I hate this house”

“Good… we didn’t want u to love it too much coz u willnever leave then”Anu mumbled and went to Naina’s

She had gone to the bathroom to fix her eyeliner

INDER was on her Whats App

All color left his face… and he immediately hung up

Naina came out and first darted a glance at her phone

“Tum PAGAL ho gayi ho?” Anu whispered walking up to her

“Maaa please u are crowding me”

“Kal raat ko kaha maine Papa ko thank God she is notpregnant, earth quake aa gaya”

Naina looked terrified

“IF you are ready to die for the guy” “Do it Naina”

Then she immediately regretted it

She didn’t know kids these days, they seemed to be doingthe stupidest things stupidest fatal things… oh god! Why did I say that

She wanted to cry

“Naina… tumhe papa se dar nahi lagta” “Don’t u value his opinion?”Anu was heartbroken for Akash

“Ma… you guys are STIFLING ME I am almost 29… I STILL LIVEAT HOME” Naina began to shout

Akash appeared in seconds

“Kya hua?”

“Ma is irritating me”

“Kya hua bhai?”

“Isko kaha Karu ko chhod do”

“haan beta chhod do”

“Gawdd!!” Naina picked up her gorgeous silk scarf knottedit perfectly around her neck, her bag and phone

Walked out “CHALLLO” she ordered Karu who was making yetanother video for Insta

Anu let herself into Viveka’s room she stepped out of theshower wearing a double color orang-pink long kurta with Nehru collar and tanpencil pants. The kurta had long navy dragon embroidered all the way on theleft

“Navy nahi hai?”

“Umm.. I forgot to wash it” she mumbled

And…. Here was her first born… just so buried in herselfall the time

“Mujhe keh deti?”

“No worries Ma”

“Sorry main chillayi tum par kal”

“Its OK I don’t get it” she laughed “Its OK”

“I am just sayin, people that don’t care for your work wontappreciate it, the Parashars epitomize that”

She was as usual busy humming to herself and letting outthat “ufff” every now and then as she tried to pack her tote to the brim withall her research junk

“By the way I left my power cord over at our best friends”she giggled

“KIDHAR?” Anu was confused

“Umm.. u know” Viveka darted a look sideways to joke

“Parashars ke yahan? TUMHE kaise pata?” Anu panicked

“Some minion called from there this morning I guess, I amsupposed to get it, don’t worry you don’t have to go”

“Tum KEHTI to bhi main nahi jaati” Anu walked out haughtily

Viveka laughed

Anu and Akash talked about who what when where the powercord will be returned

“I did not incite the action” “Don’t look at me like that”he dug into his parantha”

“I shouldn’t have called her at all, itni bhulakkad hai, USdin earring, aaj power cord… pata nahi kal kya khoyegi”

“Her forgetfulness? What if she loses it?” “See what I didthere?” Akash lifted his collar up”

“Stop it” she warned

“Chill… as the kids say”

“Shhh”

Viveka appeared wearing her watch

“Class hai?”

“jee Ma… Dr Ansari is moving from the shared room to hisown tiny “broom closet” as they say in sitcoms” she laughed savoring herparantha

This was one no drama kid

Anu ate quietly the thought of Naina made her stomachchurn, she stopped eating

“Naina ne kuch khaya nahi, main de jaaon?” Akash enquired

“Yeh Siberia nahi Dilli hai Akash KHA legi”

Viveka looked at her mother in shock

“I mean u know” Anu tried to be cool

Veev got a text at 10:30 ish

No greetings

“I am on my way to drop off your power cord”

She was in class, she did not see it

After that she was in advisory

Around 2 ish when she got out, she went off to help DrAnsari move, she had another class she was proctoring a test for at 3

Her tall students helped her pull books off tall shelvesshe carried them over two floors unflinchingly

Her phone beeped

She pulled it out of her pocket and saw the no name number

“I will be outside soon”

“Sorry?” “Who is this?” she asked perpetually confused soulshe was

“U did not read my message?”

“Oh?” she scrolled up

“Yeah.. sorry I was in class, teaching”

“I will drop it off soon”

“I am proctoring a test for the Economic Regulations classat 3”

He didn’t respond

Almost around 3

“You think your time is more valuable?”

“Not at all”

“You should have remembered to get your things”

“I agree” she concurred politely

“I can text u when I get to the gate”

“Like I said I am proctoring a test in exactly 3 minutes and 43 seconds it will go until 4 PM”

“I will leave it with campus security”

“Alright… thank u”

He drove to the JNU gate at 3:59 PM

He drove to the JNU gate at 3:59 PM
