TAKURS
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.~ Mahatma Gandhi
I think you have to know who you are. Get to know the monster that lives in your soul, dive deep into your soul and explore it."~ Tori Amos
The violence betwen women is unbelievable. Women try to make each other crawl so that their knees are bleeding."~ Tori Amos
TEA-TIME
Takurain orders Kesar to make tea, she silently complies. Not satisfied she taunts her about working alone in the kitchen without her Master Raniji. Prats walks in asks Kesar if there is more milk besides the curdled one on the stove. Takurain who was waiting for her chance pounced on Prats "No! This is all there is, you want to take this milk take it or get out of my kitchen. Prats let her have it her way. Prats, next time she calls you to come into the kitchen, stay away and tell her following her orders.
TONGUE-LASHING
Malice scorned, puts out itself; but argued gives a kind of credit to a false accusation ~ Philip MassingerPrats turns to leave the kitchen when Takurain grabs her wrist and stalls her. The last time she did that was to scare Prats about SS's reaction to bad meals served. She was clearly spoiling for a fight with Prats "you who speaks with such conceit, you think of yourself as the police and us as armed robbers. Yesterday you tried to get my two sons to kill each other. You got two blood brothers to fight each other and now you want to get some milk. I won't give you poison let alone milk. It's like you came to ask for blood." You have come to destroy this family. Where is the logic or cognency in your statements, Takurain? Aren't you tired of the self-importance "you are out to get me" speech already? We are, stop speaking like a broken record every day. Truth be told you are the one spearheading a campaign to get rid of Prats by appealing to your husband to take instant action. You are imploding as a family from within, no need for the bahus to do a thing. The foundation has been shaky for quite some time and now the cracks are being exposed."
TRUCE
Prats explains "Amma that was not my goal. I just wanted the best for didi." Takurain rants on "You want to do the right thing? You want to destroy the reputation of this family. That's what gives you peace". Prats wanted to end this confrontation which was going nowhere "I don't want to argue about this, it will only make matters worse. I don't want to fight." This only fired up the Takurain even more. "Oh yeah! So what do you want to do? We'll do what you want us to to do. She doesn't want to fight, witch!" Yo Takurain, not everyone is gunning for a street fight like you do. You have mastery over it with all that practice with Piasiya hanging around you. The adrenal rush you get from picking a fight with everyone around you is as plain as the nose on your face. You thrive on it. Ever since SS stopped smacking you around you seem to be feeling edgy spoiling for a fight every chance you get. Who's easier to pick on than your bahus. But watch out! You may end up on the receiving end of things with your bahus, for what goes around surely comes around when you least expect it esp.if Kesar decides to snap out of her dazed state any day without warning.
TEASING
Prats walks in and asks Krishna "are you getting all dressed up to go out? Krishna is very pleased that she was asking questions like a desi beebi. Prats starts speaking in Takur dialect "Teek hai, jaobo tho zaroor jaobo konu roke se balaa, lekin kaana tho ghar pur he kaobo na Krishnaji bilkul desi mard jaisa". Krishna is gaping at Prats "are you making fun of me" he asks. Prats smiles "No I just wanted to ask if you were going to eat at home." Krishna replies "No today I'm going to eat out, I'm tired of home cooking. I'm going out but not alone." Prats is curious "Who are you going with?" Krishna was playing along " I'm going with someone that's it." Her voice reveals her jealousy "Who are you going with?" Pleased Krishna approaches her "With you, who else? What do you mean, who do you think I'm going out with? Get ready we'll go to Civil Lines. Prats is reluctant "I'd like to go too but"''.Krishna aks her "do you have a problem going out with me?" Prats reasons "No after what happened last night I don't think it's a good idea to go out tonight". Krishna brushes it off "What happened last night? Hungama? It happens in this house everyday, don't you know that after living here all this time? The day there is no hungama in this house you have to ask what is the chakkar? Baba seems you have resigned to this life in this hellhole? We hope not! There is a better place to be and greater things to do. Remember you said the hawa was karaab at the Niwas? Get out of there asap for a respite. Even then what's the connection between the hungama and going out. How can you go against your husband?" Prats accepts his offer "I'll go out with you. On one condition. You don't fight with anyone in the house or say anything about them, every time you defend me and argue with them they think I put you put to it." Krishna was confused. "You are a strange woman. I defend you against the family and you think I am fighting with them?" Prats didn't want to irritate him "You are right and I don't want to ruin your mood. Give me a few minutes and wait outside for a little while and I'll get ready. Krishna attempts to sit back and relax but Prats pushes him out of their room Krishna is surprised " what is this gundai yaar" 😆he asks as she closes the door on him. Baba has a strong contender in Babu for gundagiri?😲
TAUNTS
In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil. ~ Anna Jameson
Krishna and Prats are on their way out for their first date since their wedding. How nice! After the blow up last night he wants to get out of the hellhole and have a peaceful evening with his wife. Great idea too, given the mood that RED has been in, waiting to spring on you two on a whim esp. Takurain who seems to be erratic recently with her raging outbursts at the sight of Prats. With Kesar stoking her guilt and Prats her anger, she can guarantee herself a life of hell. Right on cue she stops Krishna "Baba, your eyes still hasn't opened up yet?" After all that has happened you are taking your wife and going out without informing us?" Tired of her nagging Krishna asks "What do you mean? Is it your budday that I have to inform you before I go? When have I told you in the past that I will tell you now? What are you trying to tell me? Your father has made a big mistake, had he kept you under control then our family would not have to see this day". Looks like today is Takurain's day to list SS his shortcomings as a father. When is it going to be your day to hear your failings as a mother. "You wouldn't have the courage to upset us and go like this. Prats holds Krishna's hand to remind him not to say anymore. Krishna tells Takurain "I'm going out with Prats and that's all you need to know". He walks out and a seething Takurain says "look at him he is following her like a dog". Such blatant jealousy and hatred never did anyone any good. It's eating her away on the inside and it's bound to express itself in unexpected ways that may surprise her one day.
TIRADE
Accusing the times is but excusing ourselves"~ Thomas Fuller
Takurain rails at SS "you do something before he slips out of our control". SS corrects her "he is not going to slip out of our hands he has already slipped off our hands. You see the truth yet you are on course to alienate him by plotting against his wife? "If you know his ways why are you running your mouth off at him". KN jumps to his mother's defense "you tell us what to do? We are not allowed to say anything, so what do we do, let him do as he pleases and that 's right? That Professor's daughter says Sakthi's marriage won't happen. Are we supposed to beg her to let the marriage happen?" This terrible trio have become very tight these days. They challenge and egg each other on to outdo themselves in finding new evil ways of destroying Prats. SS assured his first spawn with pride.
TREACHEROUS
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love." Martin Luther King, Jr.
The silence of a treacherous man is to be feared even more than his words ~ Greek Proverb
"I have fire in me and I will make sure you take your saat pheres. Takurji, hasn't he already taken his saat pheres a long time ago with the woman who still lives under your roof as his wife? What's the problem? Can't count up to saat? If he takes any more pheres he will be up to 14. Does that mean someone out there knows what pheres 8 to 14 stands for? "There is no problem that has no remedy. But have to find a remedy for this special problem". You see your bahu as a problem and not your son's beloved wife and there in lies your problem Takurji. One surefire way of alienating your son for life. As long as you sees her as one she will continue to be an albatross around your neck. You were once a smart man, what happened to you? Ever since you started listening to your wife your life has become a living hell too. Now it's your turn to open your eyes and your Takurain is taking all of you to hell in a handbasket. If you believe what you told Kesar '..that a woman makes or breaks a home then pay heed to your own words before you all self-destruct.

I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let you go and I cant get through.~ Ani Difranco
Someone's got to be interested in how I feel, just because I'm here and I'm real.~ Ani Difranco
Adarsh falls when he attempts to get on his wheel chair with Komal's help. She is irritated with his demands for her constant attention to his needs. In an effort to cheer him up she decorates his wheelchair like a rickshaw with flowers and manages to stick one on the bandage on his head. Bechari Komal is doing a lot of pretend play these days. Komal and Adarsh are squabbling like little children about her failure to help him to his wheelchair. She attempts to apologize for it but Adarsh mocks her initially comparing her style to SS. She tries again as her sasural are gathered at the door watching the scene unfold with amusement.
SPORT
Dadi, Arushi, Prof. Shamu and Nainaji are watching their talk with avid interest and cheerful countenance. Sanskaari Saxsenas you guys need a night out on the town. When was the last time you guys went to a big cinema theater?😲 You know the one with the big screen that shows picture victure for a few hours of entertainment. Please give this young couple some privacy, space and time alone to kick start their marriage and get it back on track instead of behaving like nosy neighbors. Just bec' they happen to leave their doors open doesn't mean you have been invited for some live entertainment. If your samandh Takurain Sumitra Devi Singh drops by and sees you guys hovering around their bedroom doors like voyeurs she'd call you all collectively "besharameeeeeeeeeee"😡. Prof. makes it worse by asking Adarsh to forgive her. How embarrassing! Can't Adarsh decide how far he'd take his version of pyar ka khel without any interference? Prof. finally comes to his senses and tells the family they should leave them alone.😕
SUCH-MEI-CHAI
Komal brings Adarsh to the living room. One look at Aman and Nainaji immediately gushes "I'll get some tea and rushes to the kichen". Just curious, is there written order for a cup of chai tattooed on his forehead that is visible only to her eyes? He gets his free cup without fail and we are yet to see Krishna sip a cuppa chai in that house although he is their damadh and Aman is only damadh wannabe at the moment.
SHOPPING PLANS
Mrs. Mathur inquires about wedding preparations and Shamu tells them they are ongoing. As soon as the chai arrives Aman asks Prof. permission to take Arushi along so Mummy Mathur can spend some time with Arushi while they shop for jewelry. Shamu is tripping over himself giving his blessings to take her along. Careful Prof. before you scare them off with your over-enthusiasm. Given a chance he may pack Arushi off to their home in a heartbeat. Arushi gets ready to leave and Komal wants to know "can I go shopping with everyone. I love shopping for clothes and jewels". Prof. embarrassingly tells her "Not now you can go with us later. How can you go leaving Adarsh?" Komal says "I am not going to be kaabab me haddi. Sasuma can take care of Adarsh for a day. It's not like I am asking to go out everyday". Mummy Mathur seems to like Komal asks Shamu to let her go along with them.
SHOPPING SPREE
At the jewelry store, Arushi looks at jewelry and hesitates after looking at the price tag. Mummy Mathur tells her "Get what you want don't worry about the prices". Komal tries to help her choose a necklace but Arushi picks one she likes and tries it on. Aman tells her whatever she wears becomes beautiful once she wears it. Aman babu kya line maar rahe ho? You have one standard line you keep recycling. First it was chai and now it's jewelry? Go look up for some pick-up lines online if you have to please. Krishna has more effective one-liners to this day and each one is a lallantop one. Komal watches Aman being attentive to Arushi and her face drops in sadness. Adarsh has been married a while and except for sporadic moments of light-heartedness he has failed to treat Komal like a wife even after he knew Krishna and Prats were now a lubbing couple. Bechari Komal has to fight for some attention and her in-laws are seeing her marriage like it's some road show for just a few free laughs.
