Power of nature inconceivably more powerful than us humans... Sure, was struck by it and by our sheer helplessness as a species. But panic...No. Survival mode kicked in... Caught me off guard too cos i'm by and large laid back. But before i knew it, i was walking along the coast looking for help...amidst screams and warnings that the wave will return. Morning of the 26th this was, after christmas dinner the previous night at the most enchanting place i've ever been to...followed by a beach shack party where my friend danced like a maniac while i sat out by the waters...she kept coming for me cos we're both dance crazies...but i just didn't feel like it. I was staring right at the waves in the dark...quiet, coming and going in hushes and whispers. No clue as to what was going to shake the living daylights of that entire landscape in just a few hours. Now here i was, just walking. For hours. The huts, the shacks, all gone. I spotted a jeep along the coast, the driver looking around purposefully, and i went up...and this is me, the girl who never ever goes up to anyone for any help. He was a cop and he had come looking for someone. Drive back to town, which is normally 20 minutes, would take half a day at least he said, plus he wanted to stop on the way and help those who needed it. Could we come along, i asked. He looked unsure but agreed. I drove back to the hotel with him, picked up my passport and camera from the room - though i needn't have bothered cos they were both destroyed - found my friend who was helping an older german couple in the next room...their bodies bleeding profuse. We were in sea facing rooms on the ground floor right near the water and the rooms had large french windows, apna ASR type. A massive wall of water had hit that morning shattering the glass...the couple had shards of glass piercing their bodies all over. The hotel, it's gate and boundary wall, had gone, and the rooms were crumbling. The four of us seemed to be the sole survivors. Us scratch free miraculously, and them bleeding badly. We got on the jeep and drove through rows of bodies lined up all along the coast, in the lanes, on the streets, picking up survivors. We made it to town early next morning having driven nearly 15 hrs...the two of us were put up at this amazing heritage property for the next 3 days, gratis...no food, barely any water, no electricity, and no fresh clothes, of course...cramped with numerous other foreign survivors from all over... ironically, the same property we'd loved the most while looking up places to stay, but had to pass because it was so frightfully expensive. What a practical bloody joke this is, we thought, to be in that very place...and for all the luxury in the world, all i needed was a bath...even though my senses, they were swamped with water. Anyway here i was, on a massive planter chair, staring at large ancient beauteous trees, reflecting. And that's when i felt all the things you've highlighted in pink above.

Durga, Indus, Wiwy...yes it was traumatic...but life and joy they have a way of seeping into the most dreadful of times. My friend and i, we had each other...and we met so many other survivors, shared stories of the previous day. Someone...an english woman... had so many tea bags on her it was unbelievable. That became the in-house thrill for all and we kept pulling her leg about it. One person would go out every few hours looking for water and all we had was earl grey tea, and some cookies and fruit, for the next three days. We sang, we listened to the radio, we played cricket and watched others play croquet. And my friend and i, we'd be in bed at night, talking and laughing hysterically at something or the other from earlier in the day...the mind had shut down to everything and we were only in the moment.

Ok i've gone on too long so i should stop now.

Episode 181

May I Take Your Leaf?

He finally realizes what she means to him and it frustrates him. Didn't his sister say he would not have peace? The woman whom he will fall in love with will haunt him if he doesn't have her. Khushi too is being haunted by her thoughts of a man who has gifted her bangles. They pace like caged animals awaiting their mate. Hearts beating in sync, he realizes it is she that makes his heart beat faster, he calls her name, "Khushi" and she hears him telepathically. Her heart beats for him. She looks at the bangles wondering why he has so much concern for her. She still can't believe he bought her bangles. Yes, Arnav Singh Raizada bought her bangles.

Everyone is getting ready for the wedding in the house, the hustle and bustle of preparations. NK is busy playing cameraman. Oh ho, the bridal attire is still at the RM and needs to go to the Gupta house. Anjali is going to send it with...NK says he will go but finally the rooster has stepped up and grabs the attire. Arnav says he will go. Nani and Anjali take notice.

The Gupta house is just as busy as the RM. Buaji is complaining they haven't received the wedding sari yet and she is worrying but she looks up and our rooster is there holding the attire in his arms! They invite him in to sit he is looking around for Khushi but he doesn't see her and then he finds out she is in the back preparing the food for the guests. He takes his leave.

A snake, a nasty man , a deviant husband is tampering with the brakes of his wife's car. It seems he may get caught as she is walking towards the car but he gets away with his plan.

Meanwhile a lot of cooking is going on at the back of the Gupta house. Khushi is catering the event. Sonar seems to be going on as Arnav finds Khushi. He is watching her from afar. She is so in control, able bodied and ure of herself herr. She is in control of everything even him. His stare and stroll is breathtaking. She starts to call something and stops, her heartbeat calls her, she listens. Dhak, dhak...dhak, dhak, dhak...it speeds up. She reaches for her heart. The wind blows, beckons...she listens, she looks. Her eyes fall upon him and he her; a slight smile, sexily but sweetly on each other's face acknowledging the reason for the fluttering heart. RABBA VEY. He walks as she is setting the table. Matching footsteps. The longing and yearning in their eyes perfectly clear. Young love is blossoming if they allow it and it seems they are.

They continue to gaze at each other until a sacred cow moos disturbing them and Khushi realizes that she has fed the cow the dishes. She blames Arnav, it is all his fault. He answers that it was she who fed the cow and she said her attention was elsewhere... she abrubtly stops, woopsi don't tell him!

Shyam is putting his plan to kill his wife into action. He hands her a rose says some wooing words hello hi bye bye stuff and tells her she is so good and he is lucky to have such a faith filled wife. Yeah, she believes you, jerkmeister. Oops, Sorry!

Arnav wants to know what he did wrong. She is paniced about how she will feed all these people and he tells her to relax and feed them on plates. She says to him of steel? It is a wedding the tradition is to eat off leaf plates. He tells her not worry and just to relax. He will take care of everything.

Of Course! What a man!

Anjali and Shyam finish their conversation, him speaking bull and she listens. UGH! He hugs her wishing she is his wife in the next lifetime. Yeah, you only want her for her money. You must notice I don't write about this character much. Abbhas plays him so well that I truly despise this Shyam.

At the Gupta house it seems the waiter has gone to another wedding and Khushi is left alone to serve their guests. A truck pulls up. Khushi is surprised and tells Arnav that she has to feed only about 15 guests and he has plates enough for thousands and the whole town! He walks away and she looks inside the truck; they can feed the entire city! That's our man, taking care of everything precisely and perfectly and abundantly!

Shyam opens the car door for Anjali, smile on his face as he pulls the nuts and bolts out of his pocket the car drives away, bidding Ajali farewell! He believes Khushi will be there for him!

NOT!

Ladies, sorry haven't been around but have been busy doing some events. I would like to share with you an event I was involved in, which I am very proud of, it is called a Farm to Table dinner. People pay a ticket price and enjoy food prepared by different chefs in the area via meal courses. It turned out beautiful!

Here we are! Me and my John at the Fall Festival. Terrible picture of me and I am on the phone as always! We had a ball!😆

Sadly he didn't come.😭
