Marriages are always moving from one season to another. Sometimes we find ourselves in winter--discouraged, detached, and dissatisfied; other times we experience springtime, with its openness, hope, and anticipation. On still other occasions we bask in the warmth of summer--comfortable, relaxed, enjoying life. And then comes fall with its uncertainty, negligence, and apprehension. The cycle repeats itself many times throughout the life of a marriage, just as the seasons repeat themselves in nature.

KP enter a swanky restaurant and Krishna is the self appointed PRO of the restaurant..he points out the glistening walls and posh looks to the bemused Pratigya [ In case Pratigya is Short sighted and misses out on the Plush decor ]...A steward interrupts Krishna when he is in flow by saying " Sir, Table for "..which raises the hackles of Krishna and he sharply rejoins " What are u blathering about ?" ..Pratigya throws herself into the breech , holds Krishna's arms gently ,says "Table for Two " *Just tables, No need for chairs,cutlery etc..etc *...The steward withdraws in relief promising them the table in a minute ...
Hail wedded love, mysterious law, true source
Of human offspring, sole propriety,
In Paradise of all things common else.

Krishna, An exasperated Krishna turns to Pratigya and in aggrieved tones says "What's this ,Yaar ?...U eat here, u stay here..but natter in English ... what was he asking ? " Pratigya calmly tells him that the steward was asking how many ppl are going to eat ? ...Krishna gets heated , He wants to know whether The steward has eyes or has his lantern dimmed ,or whether his eyes needs to be fueled by gasoline " ..Pratigya takes a quick look around to see whether other patron are overhearing this conversation...They Are ..They are thoroughly enjoying themselves *Who will let go of the free entertainment when it is offered on the platter * ..Pratigya Once again tries to calm him and says "Krishna, Calm Down,,,He is doing his job..How does he know that only we two are going to eat and that there will not be a third person later on " ...Krishna rolls his eyes at his wife's and stewards naivety..Heaves a drawn out sigh,gets hold of himself and elucidates his wisdom to the simple minded Pratigya .. "If the third person were to come, Then there would be no need to set a separate chair for him [Pratigya gives a uncomprehending look ],he will eat with us and will not sample from others plate .." ..A puzzled Pratigya seeks clarification "What do u mean ?"...Krishna gives out another long breath * Poor guy is made to work so hard today*"Meaning..U ask me to explain each and every thing....Did I marry u a few hours back ??..U have been staying with me for a while and U still don't understand my words * Maaf Karna Krishna Bhaiyya ...Ab Sab Log Tumhare tarah Tez aur shagird thodehi hai*..What I meant was{becomes aware that he is Providing tax free entertainment,Lowers his voice and goes on sedately }..That third person will be inside u and tasting whatever u eat and when he is born ,he will play in my lap ..[Pratigya has mentos moment]...So..Did I say anything wrong ..Just tell me "..Pratigya gives a saccharine sweet smile ..Krishna latches onto that and begins teasing her..Pratigya does not know how to fend off from this teasing and is rescued by the steward..
Steward comes and says "Ur table is ready ".. Krishna and Pratigya move on to their table..Krishna once again commences his PR duty , which is cut off by the steward again...Krishna mutters darkly against the high handed attitude of the stewards..and pauses to look in Pratigya's direction while seating himself, to be encountered with the charming site of the steward assisting Pratigya to her chair ...Misunderstanding his action..Krishna chimes up "Where are u taking the chair..She hasn't even sat ..leave it and leave us ".. Pratigya sits on the chair ....The next stage of Spanish inquisition begins... * Krishna did not understand ,Sir ..Table...but he now understands a whole sentences framed in English ...5 min mein English seekgaya ..đ*
"No man is truly married until he understands every word his wife is NOT saying." - unknown
KP are offered the menu's...And Krishna just keeps away his menu with a speed that do credit to cheetah, He orders juicy succulent Chicken with bones [After taking the waiter thoroughly to task for speaking in English] while Madame orders Veg fare..The waiter Takes the orders and is on the verge of leaving when Krishna calls him back and asks him to create "Atmosphere"..He asks the waiter to light candles .. just like they do it movies !!The harried waiter replies that candles are lit during dinner and not at lunch ..Pratigya nods her assent ....Krishna now understands the predicament of the waiter and strives to resolve it and comes up with Krishnasque solution..he tells the waiter to dim the lights of the Hotaaal and then light up the candle ..Pratigya intercedes on behalf of the hapless waiter and asks Krishna to let go, other customers are eating too..Krishna says will solve ur problem too * He is really being overworked today..hope he gets good recompense when he gets home đ*..Stands up and addresses the ppl having their lunch .. Says his wife wants to have a candle light Dinner,so he wants the light to be dimmed and candles will be lit on all the tables..he enquires whether they have any issues with it ...{They don't have problems] ..Krishna sits on his seat with a self satisfied air and asks Pratigya whether any more complaints ..Pratigya just laughs off the suggestion but cant stop herself from baiting him " U have to get ur own way in everything ...isn't it "..Krishna gives a hurt look ,briefly wondering at the injustice of the world and proceeds to inform her that she is a strange woman..that all he did was for her...Pratigya promptly rejoins pointing a sharp pronged fork at him "When did I ask for candle lit dinner ?"..Krishna pulls the dangerous weapon from her hand , "What if u didn't tell me verbally.. I understood ur wish ,,I cant read this scripted books..but I can read ur heart very well " ..Pratigya gives a slow smile of tender love,caught immediately by Krishna..
The ever inquisitive Krishna wants to know the reason for her look..Pratigya doesn't oblige and steers him off by saying that he is one of a kind..a UNIQUE HUMAN ...God must have taken his own sweet time while creating him, Krishna smugly reiterates that what she said is tru..and that Pratigya is lucky cos he married her...Pratigya sweetly sarcastic says "of course"...The sarcasm bounces off him and Krishna continues his paean " A lot of girls fight over me ..What to do ??"....KP exchange a loaded look..while Krishna is unbooting himself and removing his socks all the while looking nonchalant ...His feet slowly steals over her feet and feels her up..Pratigya is startled < Krishna immediately calms her her saying.."Its not some mice or rodent..its ur own pet Lion"..Pratigya is struck by his mischief and a smile steals over her cheerful face..
Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
JOHN UPDIKE, Couples
KP are eating..Pratigya pauses and looks contemplatively at the busily eating Krishna..A look of intense rapturous deep love filling her eyes ..Krishna is puzzled at her intense look..looks here and there , confirms it is aimed at him and question the reason for her look ...deduces that she is feeling love towards him and says soothingly that "don't fear u are not alone in this ..even I love ...Myself ..Cos I am like that .. I mean Ppl stare at me..what am i to do..I cant go and tell each and every one to stop staring at me ..Tell me Can I do Anything ?..Pratigya says "Do U know what is the most admirable trait in u..The reason why ppl love u so much ".The intelligent Krishna knows the answer ,Ppl love him bec he looks like a Hero,he further tom toms that his frnds tell him to try his luck in films ...Pratigya adds her yes vote to his frnds assertion's....Finger bowl arrives...Krishna starts disbursing his gyan again..tells Pratigya to wash her hands in her bowl and not drink it ...Pratigya meekly replies [controlling her smile ]that she would have drunk it had he not said so..and proceeds to wash her hand...The bill arrives..Krishna Pays the bills and walks towards the exit followed by Pratigya ..Pratigya looks down and catches the sight of barefooted Krishna ..and cant control the grin which springs forth unrestrained ...covering her mouth to hide her mirth ..she gestures Krishna to put on his shoes..An Embarrassed Krishna does the needful..both venture out of the restaurant
KP are walking on the streets ..A thief runs towards them followed by a chasing Mob..Krishna grabs him and starts belaboring him ..Aman comes and holds Krishna's hands ..gives his usual stricture on rules and regulation ..Krishna gives a smoldering look ..
A fun filled Caper ..Just highlighted the fact both are comfortable with each other and one another weakness..Krishna is not overawed by the austere and staid world of English..he still deals with each and every problem with aplomb ...And Pratigya is not ashamed to be seen in the company of an Illiterate, who makes an A** of himself ...she looks beyond and sees the man ..while he looks into her and sees his soul..Krishna was all aggression and action while Pratigya was calm and poise ...both complemented each other...
The scene outside was interesting ...It showed Krishna in his elements...he fearlessly catches a robber and gives him instant punishment ...swifter and long lasting than the legal punishment ...and into this mix comes Aman...who holds Krishna....I find it interesting that both stand side by side and not on opposing side ..and both give a piercing look at each other ...so what is it going to be ??..will it be while the 2 Damaads fight against injustice..they still will be opposing each other bec of their outlook..or is it that Krishna's unbridled anger and violence be tempered by the restraining hand of logic,law and rules...will both work in tandem ??
Why was Komal There ?? Is it bec when tomorrow Aman's brother is found guilty ..and if Aman shirks [Which I find unlikely]..then she can toss the coin back at Aman ... or is it a lesson for her not to take law into her own hands ..
