"The only ache people have nowadays is ache in the stomach due to over eating and lack of exercise!"
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Morning finds Pratigya rummaging through an already arranged magic closet *was she looking for the broom * and Baba steps out of the mythical washroom clutching his tummy * tut,tut , Baba ..we Know that Nandhini Bhabhi's ever widening girth is giving u stiff competition, but dont worry...I am confident u will win !!* .. He shuts the door and plods towards the Bed still holding on to his stomach * has he hidden diamonds there *..and very gingerly sits on the bed * Lest the stomach bursts * He is gently rubbing his tummy and looking pretty uncomfortable * Dont worry , Yaar.. I am sure the ever growing tummy will not vanish within a day... rest easy*..this action is watched in evident interest by the back seat driver , Pratigya ..Pratigya enquires "What happened ? why are u looking so worried ?", Krishna manfully and heroically putting up with the cramp deflects her query saying that "Nothing is the matter" .....Not getting a proper answer, Pratigya walks near him to see what actually ails baba, rubbing the salt in the wound she tells him "If nothing is the matter , then why are u giving a good imitation of a sick patient? and why are u sitting holding on to ur stomach ?" * he is worried that his paunch is not growing speedily * Are u scared that ur stomach will fall off ?"" Krishna is going through cramps and here is his babu making fun of his stomach , Krishna is not pleased * And neither are we, for mocking n teasing him is our right while delivering bhashan,doing marathon is ur's,do we ever enter ur arena,nena..so dont step into our's* Pratigya is controlling her laughter with utmost difficulty, oblivious of her mirth, Krishna continues , grimacing ,"Dont ask me any question's dear.. * yes !! look into the crystal ball, after all Amma is confident that u r the resident witch, crystal gazing comes with witching * [Clutches his stomach]..Let it go " Pratigya will not hear of it * She has got a golden opportunity to bring Krishna to heel, and will she let it go..will any right minded wives let it go ,,,NEVER *..and in true Pathni Dharm, She comfortably sits in front of him radiating health,vigor and cheer and with intense amusement mingled with slight malice begins to pull his leg * JIyo Beta * Adopting Krishna's style and his very words she lays it thick "Arrey yaar, I am ur wife, Instead of telling me..will u go and tell it to the neighbor, c'mon honey..tell me na..My baba ..Tell me " A vexed Baba shoots a peeved look at his Sati savithri * Poor Baba must have thought that Beebi would have shed at least 3 gallons of water on coming to know of his discomfort, but the cruel wifey is enjoying herself* grumbles " Dont irritate Me { a sec's Pause] Alright will tell u but on one condition that u will not laugh "..hearing this itself Pratigya breaks into laughter and with laugh filled voice asks him "Why will I laugh?"..Krishna in an outraged voice "U are already laughing" Pratigya "Alright, I swear [Shushes herself] ,, Will not laugh "...Krishna " guarantee" ..Pratigya " guaranteed" Krishna "I must have eaten something , My stomach is working like an automatic machine [Pratigya is suppressing her giggles] I feel as if the confectioner has taken a big order for making doughnuts and he is stirring,whipping , straining and cooking " Pratigya bursts out in peals of laughter and begins to laugh uncontrollably...Krishna is outraged at this blatant betrayal by his meherau, Krishna with all the suffering reflected in his voice admonishes her "I knew U would thoroughly enjoy my predicament, That's why did not want to tell u, Whats the use of telling u " * No Use, na Baba..Just tell Arhi and she will fly to the chemist and get u the medicine , she will be followed by her twin Surbhi..Now these girls are ur true lubber's and care for u *..Pratigya mollifies him and sweetly says "OK, Sweet heart, Sorry !! I will not laugh { Krishna is not appeased} ..but If u hype up such a small matter " * Small Matter , u have stopped giving him Badam Milk, ghee and besan ki halwa His Paunch is decreasing due to that , and it is a small matter , Katti Pratigya * Krishna , "U think this is a small matter" * No , If I had my way ... I would have informed the fourth estate, the media , tom -tomed it to the whole world *
Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best.

Pratigya finally speaks some sense " All right lets go the doctor, and he will make u fit in a second" Krishna is alarmed at this prospect ,He negates the opinion of Pratigya,"We will not go to the doctor, he too will derive a lot of fun out of my plight, even before checking me, he will fish out 3-4 syringes and inject me with that "..Pratigya is unable to believe that the Lion of Allahabad , Her daring and dashing Bull is scared of the needle , she starts giggling again , Krishna gives an affronted look but still continues to be honestly truthful "I am not scared of swords, howsoever long it is ..[ Stomach grumbles, he clutches it again] but the damn needle.."..Pratigya "Dont worry, we will tell the doctor to give medicine instead of injection's" But Petrified Krishna refuses * KrrrrrishhhhNa is a Cowarrrrrrrd , Krishshshsshsna is a Cowarrrrrrrd , Nya-nya-nya,nya * but Pratigya has become mulish, she insists on getting Krishna to the doctor , while Krishna like an Stubborn Donkey refuses to see the doctor * Who will win, Predict correctly and win a trip to Kriyaland*...Pratigya is holding on to his arms and is sternly telling him not to be adamant , Krishna, the fires of his personality dampened by the bug gives in defeat and both go out to see the Physician.
The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
-- Nursery rhyme
Yesterday's episode was another Wrigley one ....
we are beginning to see that Shakthi's obsession is getting out of control and Sajjan Singh is aware of it but not the depth nor the intensity of this unhealthy obsession ...
Aman's and Aarushi's marriage will not take place is pretty much now forgone [Unless The CV's choose to slap us with the pie on our face ] but it would be equally unrealistic to expect Aarushi dumped in the same house as Pratigya , if such were the case then this serial too will turn out like other serials where sisters/best friends were married into the same family, tuned foes, split the family..etc..etc...The only point I can envision for this strong development of obsession would be to get Kesar out, Kesar , ever since the medical report was made public has become a non entity ...she has become mute,blind and deaf ....It could be to bring her out of her listlessness, when Shakthi said that He did not think Aman was the best match for Aarushi , the glare that she gives towards Shakthi was commendable..That was a look filled with anger, alarm,questioning.... A while back Aarushi kept quiet heeding Kesar's silent plea..now Kesar may speak up and repay the debt ...other than That I personally cant see Aarushi as the wedded wife of Shakthi at the manor....Unless
Shakthi fulfills his lust and pregnancy results ..in that case Aarushi may opt to be a single mom , showing that Rape victims need not feel guilty for the crime they were not responsible or she could hand over the child to Kesar and continue with her life [which will be filmy] ..This track has many strands ..and it can be taken either way ...only the future moments will reveal the momentum of the track ..cos we had 2 moments ---- When SS says "Do U think U are eligible for Aarushi's hand ?" and another y'day when he asks " DO u think a fairy will marry u?" ..which means to imply that this track is gaining the momentum ..lets wait and watch..
Aman's days are getting numbered ...he now has his Bhabhi as the corroborator ...when Pratigya swipes the deck of cards , Nandini statement may play a vital role ...cos she believes Aman was with Aarushi and Aarushi believes Aman was with Bhabhi ..and when Truth comes out that neither were with him ..Aarushi's dream wedding will shatter and she will finally accept the truth ....Aman cannot be brought down by lectures...one needs evidence and strong one at that ...lets hope that CV's produce some such evidence and convince us...
