It's story telling time tonight. Selected book is a new release.
Let's begin.............
Tale # 1 ' KOMALIYA KVETCH (gripe)😡
In the land of Takurs was born an impetious lass, Komal, She was unpud and lacked good manners. She had spunk and a sharp tongue, but she willing to change her ways after she was traded in an exchange offer marriage to a young, introvert, middle class lad, Adarsh.
It had been six months since her marriage to Adarsh. She had just returned from the police station after she bullied her badi bhabhi Kesar into dropping FIR charges against her evil sasuma and her mean husband Katra Naresh. This had been Komal's first success mission and she was proud to be a good daughter.
It was dinnertime at the Saxsenas. Komal wass annoyed to see the entire family eating their meals peacefully. Their lack of curiosity and her need to defend egged her on to finally break the silence in the room. She began sarcastically "Food must be real good that you are all eating so quietly." That got her the attention she was seeking. "You don't understand, what I did for my family was indeed the right thing to do. If Prats can stand up for her family in tough times so can I. I am the daughter of that house after all and so I stood up for them. But no one here stood by me" she complained to her sasural who had gathered around the dining table in hopes of eating a peaceful meal. But it was not meant to be this day. Dadi finally took her bait and spoke up "Prats is fighting for the truth on one side, and you Komal, are standing by those you knew they had done something terrible and you know it." Komal was not one to back down for she had been spoiling for a fight for quite some time. "No point in telling me right and wrong here, it won't change a thing. The reality is one must stand by one's family and I did just that. Everyone in this house just need an excuse to talk incessantly and everyone becomes a Professor". The Saxsenas took at Komal in shock. Yo, Komal can you just take that foot out of your mouth, dear! And while you are at it just put some food in that runaway train you call mouth. Prof. chimed in "No matter what you tell Komal she won't understand bec' she is angry right now". Komal took offense at that. "Yeah, I won't understand, everyone else in this family is always right and I am the crazy one, right". She stormed off leaving her dinner unfinished. Komal didn't your parents teach you to never get angry at food? We remember the evil Takurain say that a time or two to your brother Krishna during his days as a angry young man.😉
Sometime later that night, Adarsh tried to get a handle on his fiery firecracker wife Komal but with little success. Komal did exactly what Phyllis Diller once said " Don't go to bed angry. Stay up and fight". And she did. Adarsh pleaded with Komal to listen to him but she told him to get lost😲. "Why don't you stand by me like my brother Krishna who leaves the whole family behind and stands by Prats for everything?" she demanded. Adarsh pacified her "Ok, I will stand by you from now on. If someone humilates you, saying anything against you or hits you I will stand by you. Now calm down." Komal said "you are making these promises bec' you know our family will never do any such thing against me. But one thing I do know you'll never support me. I'm not going to let you get away with it". Adarsh said "Komal, you are hitting me, I'm your husband" as she flailed her arms at him like a petulant child😲😕.
Tale # 2 Krishna and Prats ~ On the wings of love🤗
It takes two Baby, me and you ~Marvin Gaye
I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back, I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact ~Meatloaf.
This is the story of a young Takur prince named Krishna. He was the ladla son born into a wealthy Takur family. He was an unpud, charismatic young man who had been raised with archaic views about life and women in particular. His life, however, changed forever the day he fell in love at first sight with a beautiful young middle class girl, Pratigya.
Their marriage was off to a very rocky start and after months of fighting her hatred with his pure love, he recently he won her over body,mind and soul😳. As quoted in a Chinese Proverb: "Married couples who love each other tell each other a thousand things without talking". And so it was, the nature of the relationship between them.
Prats was in her bedroom recalling the painful moments from a few hours ago when she was ordered to wash her sasuma's feet and Krishna drank the water to salvage the situation without hurting his mother's pride or his wife's self-respect. Krishna returned from the invisible washroom attached to their room. One of these days we'd like to get a glimpse of it. 😛Prats rushed to him and hugged him as she cried on his shoulder. Prats said tearfully "I know you did it all to save me. Forgive me. I didn't want this, you had to go through so much because of me. I only wanted justice for Kesar." Prats did you ever get a chance to read the words of Joseph Campbell who said "When you make a sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship." Krishna though an unpud understood that very well about his marriage which Prats had to yet learn. Baba, you could give a speech or two on pati-patni aur pyar ka cheez ka hoti hai for a speaker's fee. That should take care of expenses for him and his biwi for the foreseeable future.
Krishna tried to console Prats as he hugged her. "Stop crying. Why are you crying so much? Why are you so tensed? What's the trouble? You are my brave baby😳. You are my Babbar Sher😳. Stop crying please. Calm down. You know how much I hate your tears so what's the meaning of this. You are my babu😳. So why are you crying? You are good baby😳." Prats wiping her tears😭 asked him "What name are you calling me"?😕 It's my right. I thought of a lot of names but decided on I am called Baba at home, you are baba's babu. Aren't you ? So you are my babu. Baba's simple logical deduction. Lallantop answer👍🏼😉👏. You are a "man-like" woman (meant to say a tough/strong woman. You are sher😳. Oh, now she's a lion. No one stand up to you My destiny is good. Of course!😉 Know why? I used to tell everyone even my Amma I will only marry a sherni. Baba did you really have to bring up Amma's name right about now. Don't ruin the mood, dude! Lucky for you Prats was lost in your eyes and living through a moment of selective hearing😉. "Look, Who would have thought that the guy upstairs (Creator) would poured oil in his ears and listened to my wishes. You Takurs sure do love oil dontcha? Maybe you should consider buying an oilfield off the coast of Texas, what say you? 😛😉He listened to me. Hey God, you are Great! 🤗Am I right? Why are you looking at me like that , I called you a sherni so are you going to eat me alive?😛😉😳 Naughty Baba!😛😉😳 Prats gave him a mischievous smile. She rested her head on his chest and he held her close🤗. A moment that said "May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home". Enough of the rona-dhona.😭👎🏼 Even Baba knows the famous Saxsena trademark is wearing thin. Now go and make arrangements for milk. We remember the time when Amma asked him to some and drink some warm milk and Baba response was "hum konu bayl nahi bhuddi moti kar dein". Now Baba is singing a different tune. Are we going to see Baba on billboards doing the "Got Milk" commercial soon? He told her it was no easy task staying up all night and he had plans to keep her up as well😳😉😛. Prats playfully punched him and got away. Was that a little attempt to play kabaddi? nah, just a little pyar ka khel to liven things up.
Baba had his warm cuppa milk and watched Prats brush her hair😳. He invited her to sit by him. It was quiz time in Baba and Babu's little corner paradise in the Niwas. Baba was quiz master tonight👍🏼👏😎. And so he began. Here is your first question.
Krishna: How much confidence do you have in me?
Prats: More than I have in myself.😳
Krishna: Correct Answer.👏👍🏼 Arey Wah! Great! Here's your next question.
How much do you think I love you and what all will I do for you?
Prats: You will do anything for me because you love me more than you love yourself.😳
Krishna: Correct answer! 👏True!👍🏼 Now on to the final question.
How much do you love me? What can you do for me?😊
Prats: Why should I tell you, find out for yourself.😛
Krishna: No crafty answers😕. When I ask you a question you have to answer.😊
Prats: Anything, I love you very very very very much.😳 (Prats,you missed 3 very(s) Baba always prefer "saat" in everything)😲
Krishna: Anything? Okay, anything right?👍🏼 Think about it. Is that your final answer?😲
Prats: Yes, Yes, Yes👍🏼 Anything (again Prats,you forgot to add four more Yes to meet Baba's love for everything "saat")😕
After all as Kathrine Hepburn once said" Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything".
Prats had won the quiz. 👏👍🏼It was now on to the "practical" test. He picked up his green shirt and asked Prats to wear it for him😳. Prats smiled😳. That's it? Piece of cake! NOT!😲 She smiled and turned around but Baba stopped her to give her one final instruction. She had to come back with just his shirt on😲 Haila!😲 Adarsh wasn't the only one who watched Angrezi film vilm. Baba may have picked up a few pointers in watching some mard jaise 007 movies. This practical test just got a tad more difficult than Prats anticipated. Krishna reminded her she couldn't backtrack from her admission to do anything for him. She had to keep her word and wear it per his instructions like a good wife. Turning around and looking at him was not going to change his mind😲. Baba watched her with a smile hovering on his lips as Prats resignedly went to change into his green shirt and returned her eyes tightly shut as Baba seated across the room admired his wife standing before him. Did she pass his test? We'll find out Friday.😉
As Sam Keen said "You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly".
In my opinion, this was more than just about wearing a shirt. He was testing Prats to see how far she would go to do anything for him that went beyond her comfort zone. Btw, Green is also the primary color of the heart chakra and pink the secondary one as stated in Yoga. Baba wore a light pink shirt when he sucked poison off her leg and dark pink shirt when he drank the footbath water y'day. Prats also wore a pink saree the day she said "ILU, ILU" to Krishna "saat" times and today Prats wore his green shirt. Coincidence?😲 You be the judge! 😉😃
Tale # 3: Kesar & Katra Naresh, Mishaps and Mistresses😡😕
In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic, a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts, an enabler rather than a reformer.~H. Norman Wright and Gary J. Oliver
Kesar was in meditation seated on her bed. Katra noticed it and still slammed the door shut disturbing her peace of mind. That seems to be his modus operandi,make Kesar's life a living hell. He shut the door and sat by her. He put his arm around her shoulder and asked her if she wanted to have another baby and hear her child call her Amma?" What a sadistic question? Are you going to spare the next child at all? Nahi na so why are you hell bent on killing her spirit little by little? Kesar coyly said it was every woman's dream but so much had happened she wasn't ready for it just yet. He wasn't a demon. Yes you are😡! But he understood the situation. Kesar fell for his act again? Oh girl, we can't wait to see you stand up to him. KN was already grooming himself for a visit to the kote😡. He had made other arrangements, he was going to get a bite to eat and there was no need to doubt him now. Only a fool wouldn't doubt you! Had he ever lied to her before?😲 It better be a rhetorical question? When has the truth crossed your lips? He strolled out of his bedroom leaving a confused Kesar behind alone.
Prats saw KN from the kitchen as he left the house so late into the night. She rushed to Kesar's side concerned for her wel being. When Prats questioned why KN was going out at such a late hour all dressed up she became the enabler to KN's ways and said he had gone to get a refill on her prescription. Prats, no one will give him any attention if he was sloppily dressed😛 he doesn't have Baba's charisma😉. Kesar asked Prats to let it be, he was talking nicely and had changed a lot too. He regretted his past behavior and promised not to hit her or repeat his past offenses towards her. When a husband wanted to change his ways a wife had to give him a chance. Kesar when are you going to do something about it, girl! It's painful to watch you this way day after day.
Preview: SS proclaims "In this havan pooja SS family members will sit. Not the one who dreams of sending saas and jate on a long trip to jail. Understand? Understand very well". Krishna nods in head understanding fully well what SS was implying. He turns to Prats "If you are not going to sit in the pooja, neither will I". Prats asks"what are you doing?" Krishna declares to SS "Good, if Prats is not going to sit at the pooja neither will because I can't do an incomplete pooja. Without Prats my pooja is incomplete." Tea Rose said it best.. "Love is a gift of one's inner most soul to another so both can be whole".
First review of book is in....... LALLANTOP!⭐️(5 stars) even though KN and Kesar were in it. It was a negligible distraction.😕
