Raakhi Ruminates l Drabble Series l Part 6 - Page 12 l 10 March

Part 1

Hello darlings… it has been a while, hasn’t it? I know you are all missing me terribly… if my hiccupping episodes are anything to go by that is. Aren’t you all the sweetest! Muah.

I have been a tad busy lately, both on the home and professional front. As you all know, I had employed that imbecile son in law of mine, Paritosh, to run the coaching centre while I ran down the Shah household. Sigh, I should have known better. Asking him to interact with young people was like asking Mamaji to remember what he had for breakfast, ie impossible. Paritosh's brain doesn’t even live in the same century as today's youth. I really don’t know what Kinaj sees in him.

Kinjal, where do I even begin? She’s the Raakhi Dave’s daughter and this is how she chooses to live. I just can’t with her. This slumming it business is clearly not the whim of a moment. She’s so darned stubborn! Your daughter after all I hear you guys say? True that ;)

But, what is it with bahus of Shah parivaar worshipping mothers in law?! First Anupama with hers, and now Kinjal with hers.

Speaking of Anupama’s mother in law, she’s just so… so… common. Such a horribly uncouth woman with her endless name calling… Naagin, like really?! She actually makes me want to slither up to her and appraise her of some venomous home truths about her own character. Those endless threats of “kaan ke niche sitar baja doongi” are just...shudder. And she’s the one banging on about "hamari izzat hai mohalle mein!"

Btw, after this completely unhinged meltdown, I won’t be surprised if a literal sitar comes crashing down on her head! It was all terribly spectacular even by her standards.

Maybe I should make a personal appearance to see the fallout. Mr Shah’s return should be interesting. I must say I'm particularly fond of seeing him get all riled up. Recordings just don’t cut it with the finer nuances of flaring nostrils and pitch shifts. Uh you didn’t think I’d disappear without making sure I was kept abreast of what was happening in my daughter’s life, did you now? Which reminds me, I have to send those pearls for restringing. I’d best check Kavya’s eyeballs hadn’t popped out and gotten mixed up with the pearls! She really does have an awful penchant for widening her eyes to impossible levels.

I see my resident admirer has also decided to up sticks and follow his jijaji. Good on him. I, of course, have my own theory on this. Being at Anupama’s means regular darshan of one Anuj Kapadia. Nuff said.

Jai Shri Krishna for now peeps. I’ll be back with more on the suave Mr A <3

Oh Ruchi

Rakhi Dave has grown up on you😎

Where do i start? Since am commenting on drabble lets talk about it. The show can go to Anu’s house like all the residents of Shah household.

The punch line of Toshu 👏 Well i am sure that all kids must find his thinking of that of dinosaur’s age. He has master under his belt but

I am right there with you Rakhi what on earth did your daughter see in this namoona?😲

The show is hell bound to show that all the well educated are good for nothing😭🤣 Mr Shah, Kavya, Toshu.

Last but not least it felt good to use all the above emojis after eons. Its always a pleasure to read your work🤗

Haha Rakhi Dave always taking more pleasure in Shah's misery.😆 Though she loves her daughter, I wish she had an understanding with Anupama on Kinjal's marriage to Toshu could be better.

Thank you for your comment :) It's true if the 2 mothers had been together, Kinjal would have stood a better chance at happiness.

As Raakhi always says, entertainment entertainment entertainment 😆

This is what I needed today🤣

OOOh goddd....I was reading it in the same accent as rakhi🤪

Posting some more thoughts from the dimaag of Raakhi Davey ;)

Part 2

Kavya, Kavya, Kavya.

I despair. I truly do.

Just how thick are you?

Before you even think of replying, let me clarify it was a rhetorical question.

The sound of my reluctant applause had barely died in my head before you went and ruined all my hard work. Why did you have to blurt out that the plan was mine?! The idea is to dismantle the coffin that houses my relationship with my daughter at the moment, not drive more nails in it!!!

Those home truths flying left right and centre yesterday had me almost weeping with joy. I should have known though. Your stupidity and complete lack of farsightedness was bound to surface. So soon though? Sigh.

How do I get the basic tenets of divide and rule through that almond oiled head of yours?! You’ve even managed to get Bapuji back in that house! And the sight of that imbecile son in law of mine leading my daughter by the hand made me want to throw up.

Not only are we back where we started before Diwali, for all practical purposes, but you’ve managed to create sympathy in the family for the egregious Mr Shah along the way. And cleared the path for Anupama to live in solitary splendour pondering on Bapuji’s advice. And we all know just how agyakari she is!

Of course, we couldn’t just have temple bells tolling and winds whooshing at this moment could we? The point had to be rammed home with a full on procession complete with singing and dancing. Actually, silly me, that din was needed to drown out the sound of bhashan that probably plays on a loop in her head. Ready to burst out at a moment’s notice.

Wait wait wait!!! Something's just struck me about the blue turtleneck that delectable Anuj Kapadia was wearing… Kanhaji is depicted as having blue skin… Whatta symbolism.
