First of all congrats for being the Bittu ? Thanks Su!!

My questions to YOU .

Seriously?

1. Why dont you pursue a career?

I did pursue a career. I became a CPA and then went on to finance. I stopped working a year after my youngest was born. I was in a management position at a financial institution. The point I was at in my career required me to take on more responsibility and staff. I was working (with commute) minimum 11hours a day, and then on line at home. My husband's profession doesn't allow for any flexibility, so I decided to leave work to restore some kind of balance in our lives and make our house a home instead of a bed and breakfast hotel (which is what it felt like).

2. Are you satisfied being only a mom?

I am satisfied being a mom, but that is because my children are young and need me. I am home full time and still do not have enough time to get everything done. I love being an involved parent.

Mentally, though, being a mom is not challenging - until my kids get to calculus - then I'm toast. To make sure I am doing something else, I do a lot of volunteer work at my son's school. I am president of the parent teacher organization and need to run it like a little company - complete with executive board and meetings with school administration. Interestingly, there are many women like myself who have given up careers and then concentrate on volunteer ism to keep their brains going. My executive board has a corporate lawyer, paralegal, IT consultant and part-time physician. We are a motley crew of women.

3. Dont your hubby want you to pursue a career?

His wants about career never factored in as I was already working when I met him, so it was already a part of who I was. The first years of our marriage, I outearned him significantly. He has no ego about me working and I needed to, he would have no problem with me going back.

AND

1. From where will you start if you left in the store-room with "you know who.?

I would start with locking the door. Then we would have to make some serious eye contact and then I would have to check out the 'stubble' situation from up close. 😉

2. Which was the funniest scene in BHPH and why?

There are so many Su!!! But these are the ones I love because of the acting and the timing and delivery of lines and the writing

1) SaaVan drunk in the night club in Mumbai - discussing their kids and chaddis and what not

2) SaaVan waking up the next morning - the way Shravan looked at himself and then looked at Saachi and said 'you too?' 'kaise?'

3) The scene with Shravan and Pratap where Pratap is caught clearing out the closet. Pratap's acting and delivery were hilarious.

3. Describe the first scene of BHPH Season 2

Oh man - this I have to get back to but Shravan would stay as Shravan because I totally love that character. Probably would open up in the Jaiswal household, but not sure if I want Saachi as a turnip as they left her at the end of the serial
