A/N: Sorry this took me such a long time to get done. I just lacked inspiration- I had the 'Someone Like You' e-mail from Lavanya written for about a week before inspiration came for the rest. I'm not entirely happy with it but this is a crack!fic anyway :') So I guess it doesn't really need to make sense. I hope you guys enjoy it and thank you once again for all the endless lovely feedback you give me.

I had to e-mail him to save his wife. I thought I was over him, Neha. I really did. But I'm clearly not...
All I have done since hitting Send is cry into a tub of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough and listen to 'Someone Like You' by Adele on repeat.

Well as long as you're just crying into it and not actually eating the stuff. If you really want to find 'Someone Like ASR', you're not going to manage it looking like a Heffalump. Listen, there's this guy I know- I met him while I was out clubbing in Delhi a few years ago- he's an NRI from Australia but he's working in England at the minute.
Why don't I give you his e-mail and you can see if you get on? He has some kind of ridiculously long traditional name but I only know him as NK.

Erm... okay I guess. But how do I even start up a conversation with him?
I can't be like "Oh hey there sweetcheeks, fancy a no-strings attached fling with an emotionally vulnerable model?"

She became a total behenji to try and please her boyfriend's family and became best friends with the actual behenji the family hired to turn her into a behenji.
The boyfriend proposed and then started acting like a total psycho. He moved their engagement to like, a week and then cancelled it all together because he'd fallen in love with the actual behenji. It was a case of "Why have the student when you could just have the master?".
And then the behenji and La's ex-fiance got married and there was a whole drama which from what I hear ended up in a couple of attempted murders and some crazy family secrets becoming like, a massive deal.
And now, behenji and her husband are living happily ever after while poor La has to help them because since becoming a behenji herself, she's incapable of being mean to or refusing anybody.
It's really sad.
I have to go now because my Boss' In-Laws/ New Business Partners appear to have escaped from some sort of mental asylum and his bhabhi ruined my dress yesterday and is now singing something about the 'mausam' being 'suhana'. I don't even know what that means.

Behenji you say?
That's totally my type...
P.S. Her ex-fiance's family sounds almost as crazy as mine. I'm sure I can handle it.

What did you think you were doing? What if it had stopped?
Do you have any idea how embarrassing that would have been for me? I know you're insane- I made my peace with that a while ago- but this was unbelievable Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada.
Unbelievable.

Because I thought you looked like you needed to relieve some stress. You've been really stressed since the whole elbowing you in the groin incident.
I don't know what the big deal is anyway, me and Nanheji used to do it all the time. I might ask Dhruvji if he wants to do it with me sometime. He seems a lot more fun than you.
Actually, everyone in your family is more fun than you.

It makes me want to be sick that you did that with any member of my family, NK or otherwise. Please tell me you haven't forced Aakash to suffer through the same ordeal.
I'm a barrel of laughs. You're just an idiot and don't appreciate my sophisticated sense of humour.

Ever since somebody erm- relieved themselves- in the elevators after last year's Christmas party (I was really drunk okay? The bright lights and the mirror... I thought I was in the Bathroom.), we had Security Cameras installed.
I didn't know you were so talented bro. You'll be pleased to know I've taken the liberty of sending off both the tape and an application form to Hrithik Roshan's 'Just Dance'.
You're going to be a star. I'm so proud to be related to you right now.

I want you to watch my office like a hawk.
If you see my cousin approaching, I want you to ring me and stay on the phone until you see him leave, okay?
P.S. Why don't you also go ahead and book me a one way ticket to El Salvador? It's probably safer right now.

Well, at least you decided against knocking down the back wall and extending the ensuite.
You did inform the Contractor not to go ahead with that, didn't you Anjali betiyaan?

Hi Khushi, I hope your business trip is going well. I have a message from Di and Naniji.
Is there any way you could keep Arnavji there for- one minute let me check- yep- about one month?
It's just... your room looks like it's just been hit by a bulldozer and, well, you know how Jethji doesn't like mess.

Erm, could you possibly find me some rose scented candles, some red sheets, furry handcuffs and lots and lots of whipped cream. Oh, also some stretchy balloons.
I'll get rid of Arnavji, you just need to meet me in the Guest Room at 8:00pm sharp. Okay?
