Teachable Moment

“So? Sealed the deal?” Rakshit smiledhanding his brother a beer

“Umm.. not quite”

“Kya hua dude?”

“Well… she smiled and nodded and saidthank you” he chuckled in disbelief

“What the”

“Yep!”

“No way”

“Yes way…she didn’t hit me though” he flasheda smile combing his hair neatly

They had a gym and showers in the annexon the South side in what used to be the horse drawn carriage coachmen ‘s rest areaduring the “Raj”

Everything about the original structurewas intact

It had been transformed in to a 21stluxury mansion on the inside

“I am sorry” Rakshit buttoned his shirt

Raanav nodded

“Ma ko kaha?”

“Nope” “She will do a scorched earth ather workplace” he said grimly

“Where does she work”

“Uh… umm… not important any more I guess”he flashed yet another smile

“Do you want to go out with Inder and Itonight? We thought we could do a double date thingie”

“Who is he bringing?” Raanav asked tyinghis shoe lace, his head bent down on the marble bench

“Hes seeing someone for a few months now”

“Ah”

“You know man!” Rakshit punched him

“Lets put it this way… I have an idea”

The men playfully punched each other

“Wow what a surprise?” Satyen was walkingthrough a marbled hallway heading to the morning breakfast area near thecentral courtyard

“I got back home last night” Rakshit highfived his Dad

“Great… I need one child here at alltimes” he growled

“Got it” Raanav smiled

“Don’t let your Mom find out but I have ahot date tonight” Satyen laughed

Raanav was a Mama’s boy… at least thusfar

“Let me guess… the girl that does yournails” Rakshit laughed

Smrita was dressed and ready to go to oneof her many frivolous do nothings for the day

She hugged Raanav extra long

“You look nice today”

“Playing the part of a corporate attorneyabout to sign over his next 2 yearsyears to Dad’s fiber optic project and the Caterpillar alliance and two otherthings I cant talk about right now”

“You cant tell ME” a relaxed Smrita satup straight and shrieked

“I can after Dad leaves” he chuckled

“Satya…. Why cant I know”

“OMG…. Why do u get me into trouble?” hegrumbled

He sat by his Mom and they were treatedlike royalty for the next hour

“You might want to start matchmaking forthis guy over here” Rakshit pointed with his fork

“Oh honeyyy” Smrita cooed

“I am fine” Raanav stiffened

“Why does he want to be married? I thought he is planning to swim in a million oceans” satyen laughed

“Jesus!!”

“Do you like my metaphor?” Satyen wa sproud

“satya NOT FAIR… bacha hai”

“Hes 30… get over it”

“Beta are you helping out Kamal Shrivastav?”

“Yeah Ive met Piyush a couple times”

“they cant afford a lawyer?” Smrita cackled

“Of course they can… but you know in India… you don’t want to be out in the open until you really have to”

“disgusting” Smrita shrugged

She was the wife of a public company CEO

Kamal owned three jewelry stores, as a family business, he was much lower on the white vs black money totem pole

Satyen was a CEO appointed by shareholders and the Board

“Who wants to pay the tax man more than they owe”

“But phir bhi… that’s so… ughh”

“They are good people tho” Satyeninsisted

“She is so….. umm… not classy”

The boys exchanged text messages aboutwhat interested them

They did not care for society gossip

“Simple folk Smrita…. Her parents are intown I heard from Kamal

“Does the Mom wear a seedha pallu andthose open toed leather chappal?”

Satyen shook his head in frustration

“See I haven’t met her I KNOW”

“They will invite us soon I think” he said finishing up his second cup of coffee as the help waited on the side witha steaming jug

The help wore white with tall crisp fanned out turbans

“I doubt Kamal or her went to college”

“Don’t worry, her brother’s wife is a Program Manager on her way to becoming a Director at Ingersoll”

Smrita’s face was worthy of being memed

She knotted the edge of her spotless white napkin furiously

“I might connect with her to obtain firsthand how it was to be a participant AND a coach”

“Of WHAT? Mahila Mandali”

“No she is in Kent Ireland for 3 weeks in some Mgmt Dev Prog I heard… from”

“From who”

Satyen did not tell her he had been meeting Anubha’s daughter

“I gotta go my love” he stood up and walked over to her and bend down and kissed her cheek

“Is she an Engineer?” Smrita spoke reluctantly

“Masters from IIT Kanpur or something” he said checking his phone walking away from the courtyard “Scholars and Teachers and techies…” he mumbled

“Huh” it rankled her that her husband was impressed by them

“Are you two coming?” Satyen turned

“yep”

Rakshit waved to his Mom

Raanav stopped by, she made him bend downand hugged him

“Do you really want me to match make”

“Nope” he flashed a smile

“I am your Mommy shona… I will drop allmy engagements and get after it” said the woman who had not worked ONE DAY’SWORK in her entire life after marrying Satyen Parashar

“Will do” he walkedoff too

Dadu slipped in the driveway and broke his leg, Savita took him to the hospital

Ganesh Chaturthi was around the corner, Delhi was turning into Mumbai quickly and everyone feted and entertained the portly elephant God, and so bought jewelry

The wealthy in Delhi did not need him to splurge

The boys nor Kamal could get away… Harsha promised to return quick to seek help from Raanav

Viveka was in charge, Dadi/Nani was asleep

She sat on the tall marble counter that wrapped around the open kitchen… cross legged and typed on her laptop and texted, and ate between the two activities

When she yanked her powercord and her fork went flying from her bowl on to the floor

“Do you want to go this evening so you can keep an eye on me?”

“You are so screwed when Ma gets home”

“If you go with me I wont be”

“I cant… I was supposed to be at the Uni…I pushed my advisory to 7 PM I am leaving at 6 from here”

“Will you be OK if I return by 9?”

“Ask PAPA Dude”

She bend down over her bowl and grabbed a fat paneer piece from the tikka masala rice bowl with her lips… chewed and licked her lips

“Hey this is going to work” she chuckled and did the same again

And looked up “Ufff”

Raanav Parashar stood 10 feet away hands in his pockets with no smile

“Don’t mind me… I am in a romantic relationship with my paneer” she smiled

“Ah” he nodded

“I needed my hands for typing and texting…my fork fell I am holding my journal down with my knee” “If I eat with my hands I cant have subzi on my glasses” she smiled beguilingly pushing it up her bridge “So mouth it is”

“sure”

She bend down and nibbled off the edge of the bowl

“Don’t you ever do this?”

“No”

“Well… you learned something then ”she explained magnanimously

She is talking... Finally!!

Is Abhishek out of the picture, Nisha?

And Hey presto ! A new method to tackle paneer 🙃

Raanav would be fine if her relationship is long lasting but with paneer...not A Kar !! Btw, his GPS is now tuned into the Mathur....who matters... location it seems ?!

And how will he tackle Smrita’s angst when she comes to know of the open toed sandal family member he is hankering for ?!
What a snob she is 😳

This Garba dance is slowly leading to a Diwali dhamaka ...and we can’t wait to see what happens now...to double date or not ?!!!

She bend down over her bowl and grabbed a fat paneer piece from the tikka masala rice bowl with her lips… chewed and licked her lips

“Hey this is going to work” she chuckled and did the same again

And looked up “Ufff”

Raanav Parashar stood 10 feet away hands in his pockets with no smile "

Teachable Moment!!Well! Let's put it this way! Going by his tortured expression, the stuff he must be wanting to do to her watching her devour her paneer slurpy, Im guessing it's unspeakable stuff !!

He must be pleading to God! Please have mercy on me! He must be thinking, 'I can teach her a thing or two " if she will let me! Ha Ha🤣

It's certainly not Economics , but economy of movement in order to manage resources such as paneer, pen, paper, lappy, glasses while coming across as completely gobblable ( is this is even a word😆) is also a form of dismal science that can cause wide spread misery to an interested onlooker ! Poor Raanav! ( this is an oxymoron I guess poor and Raanav)
