For those of you who have a busy life, here are the headlines.
****This post was delayed due to low energy caused by flu like symptoms.Krishna and Pratigya created memories behind closed doors in their little paradise. Saxes prematurely celebrated the non-existent bun in the oven. Komal did a song and dance in her attempt to seduce Adarsh and got his attention. SS asked pundits to help be rid of dosh named Prats and disinvite her to join the pooja. Krishna was true to his word, we're a package deal,if Prats goes,so do I.
Komal was in the mood for some sour food.😕 She was suddenly overcome by a short spell of dizziness. Low BP Komal, at this age? You know what that means right? Too much emotional stress. So are you going to do something about it? After a bout of nausea she returned but not before the Sax family saw her sucking on a lemon. As usual, they came to a very hasty deduction''..Komal was preggies.😲 She could have the flu, you know! But no, the Saxes were hungry for any reason to celebrate and prematurely they did. Adarsh walked into the room and found himself bombarded with congratulations. Nainaji said Komal was going to give them good news and Dadi was over the moon dreaming of the arrival of a baby in the Green House. Even Shamu was animated enough to tell Nainaji they would only have a pothi and not a potha. Arey Saxes! There is no bun in the oven just yet, the oven hasn't even been pre-heated and you guys are already tripping over each other to get your hands on the bun. Adarsh was confused. "How did this happen? Immaculate conception? There is nothing going on here between my wife and I, so how in God's world did Arushi become bua? He stormed into his room luckily he didn't hit any walls on the way this time and accused her of toying with the feelings of the Sax family. Komal didn't back down. She challenged Adarsh "Make their dreams true or say it is not true then they will ask you a truckload of questions." Adarsh dodged this conversation on the pretext of getting ready to leave for work. Adarsh bhaiyya [sorry can't call you babu anymore, Krishna has already copyrighted that one and it's reserved for his jaan Prats] you should get a few pointers from your sister and jiju on how to play this game well. Komal was in the mood for seduction or was it seduction by humiliation.Main kyaa karun raam mujhe buddha mil gayaa, haha budda mil gaya - Lata Mangeshkar
She pushed Adarsh into a chair and literarily did a song and dance number for his pleasure as she lip-synched to Lata Mangeshkar's version of "budda mil gaya" Adarsh's range of facial expressions were priceless. Whoever said he couldn't emote with his face was way off base? Rising up to her challenge he lifted her into his arms. It thrilled Komal to no end. But just at that moment, Nainaji called out to Adarsh. Nainaji kabaab mei haddi ban jayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee🤪. Shamu was waiting for him to leave for work. Didn't they each have their own bikes before Prats got married? Did Shamu trade his scooter in for some cash to pay off Angad during the blackmailing days? Or was Komal spending a lot these days.
You can't hurry love, oh you just have to wait, they say love don't come easy it's a game of give and take, oh, how long must I wait, how much more can I take'..Supremes
Startled by his mother's voice he dropped her on the bed like a sack of potatoes. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is no way to handle your precious cargo (wife) Adarsh bhaiyya. Komal complained "sasuma doesn't want her dreams to come true". She blocked Adarsh exit at their bedroom door "take the day off" She's right, what's the big deal, you are not CFO of a multi-national Corp." Yeah, Adarsh if you can take a day off now and then to read magazines, why not a day to hang out with your wife and shower some attention on her. Adarsh insisted he had to go and gave her gentleman's promise to get work done and return home early to prove to her he was no budda. Komal had lit a fire under him. He promised to settle accounts that night. Spoken like a true banker! Nice work, Komal! You seem to share the same trait with your bro Krishna when it comes to finding the means to get things going your way. Did you take a page out of your brother's life story and decide to do your own song and dance number to ensure your suhaag raat too? Prats picked a happy song about Krishna and you picked a song to tell your pati he was a budahoo? Words have power, Komal, use them wisely.
The devil is a gentleman. William Shakespeare😈
Katra Naresh led the priests into the Niwas. An incredible sight to behold, indeed. The maha paapi, baby killer of the household was leading the seekers of God into the Niwas! And he claimed he was no raakshas. Liar liar, pants on fire.
These two hated with a hate, Found only on the (CENTER) stage. Lord Byron 😡
SS is anxious to get the Pundits started with the pooja/havan asap. "Evil eye has befallen this house, free us from this evil eye, evil soul, evil defect beyond the parameters of this Niwas. You are here, please get rid of it and give us salvation from this evil defect." Takurji, the very foundation of the Niwas is already infected with a dis-ease long before Prats came into your family. Throwing your amassed tangible junk at someone just won't cut it. And saying all this within earshot of your ladla son about his wife is not going to endear him to you at all. First, fumigate your mind of such poisonous and evil thoughts and you have a chance at freeing yourself from the hell you have created in your mind for the wrong reasons. Or have the courage to tell your son to get lost with his wife away from your premises. He will do it readily without a second thought for where Prats goes, Krishna is always by her side.
I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain. ~James Baldwin
In a tone expressing reverence Amma greeted the pundits. Notanki Rani! Grrrrrr! Why the pretense Takurain? Be yourself, soon enough they are going to see your true colors when you come face ot face with Prats at pooja time, anyways. She pleaded "Please help us be rid of the one who has entered this home with her black magic. The family's minds have been corrupted, destroyed and lost. Bingo, Takurain! You got that right! You lost your mind the day you realized your son loved Prats more than he loved himself and that little nugget is hard for your evil mind to digest.
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us - Hermann Hesse.👏
"Let these useless children get some good sense. We will do whatever offering and cost is no concern, we will do as you say. She wants to give hardship to her own. She has forgotten how to respect her elders as well." Sounds like you are talking about yourself. Soooo, you do admit she is one of your own even if only by association😲. Already forgot she washed your feet on demand?😕 Achcha E bathao, Takurain! Who will give good buddhi to maa-baap who seem to have lost their minds and are hell bent on killing their bahu and their son's spirit all in one go? When the day comes, Takurain, may the Gods have mercy on you! There is no greater sin than an act done with the knowledge of the intention to hurt another. "Whatever dhaan punya has to be done cost is never a factor, we'll do what you tell us to do. Please get rid of the evil shadow that has befallen on this house". That's easy Takurain! Just leave that Niwas, the evil shadow goes with you. It's that simple, really! No kidding! So what say you, ready to pack your bags and leave without further delay? Prats and Krishna are listening to all this silently by the dining table. Hard to swallow this level of contempt, hatred and open hostility, isn't it Baba? So what is your next move?

In time we hate that which we often fear ' William Shakespeare (Anthony & Cleopatra)
SS asked baby killer KN to sit down with his wife Kesar for the pooja. Krishna sat down and invited a hesitant Prats to join him. Amma stopped her "hey, shameless, did we ask you to sit? We are doing this pooja to do bring peace from the defect in this house not asking the defect to join in. So, hey you, get lost!
To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it ' Martin Luther King, Jr.
Baba this is the end of the rope buddy rather than cringe in silence why don't you just pack your bags and get the hell out of that house now. The ship has set sail, beta, your self-respect was loaded on board a long time ago. Your parents have lost all respect for you and your wife. Is it worth your self-esteem to continue living with your parents who think you are worthless? Even a hard day's work and living with lesser means gives you peace and keeps your self-respect intact. It builds moral character. You said it before, she and you are one, then if she is insulted so are you. Get the hell out of that house pronto! Pack your bags and leave now.
"Is it really necessary for you to sit in God's presence and talk this way? What has Prats done that you are calling her a defect in this house" Krishna challenged his Amma. Good question Baba! Let's see if Takurain has an answer. Nope! She never does when there is truth or reality involved.
Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful. Friedrich Nietzche
SS stepped in and told Krishna what his mother said was right. Do as we say. Takurji, Krishna is not a toddler anymore! Need a pair of glasses to make sure? "We can't let her sit at the pooja. If we let her sit it will only make things worse not alleviate it. Understood?" GD voiced her disapproval by ringing the bell. SS silenced her. "All members of the SS family will sit at this pooja, not the one who dreamed of sending her saas and jate on a long journey to jail. Got that young lady?" Tindora petkar boliye na Takur saheb! So now the pundits know that sasuma and jate were supposed to end up in jail. Nice! Or may be even better why don't you call that band you booked to bring Prats home from Mumfordgunj and send them around town spreading the news. Will cost you a few bucks, no big deal, you are loaded. Kesar looked on nervously. Prats did this to help you fight for your rights and you know what your sasural have done including their plots to off Prats. When are you going to do something about it and fight start doing something girl? If you don't want to fight your battles who will? Prats tried to step up for you and it blew up getting you off the hook and her in a hot soup with the evil Takurs.
The man who fights for his ideals is alive ~ Miguel de Cervantes
Krishna shook his head getting the full import of his father's words. He got up "I understand it all very well. I won't sit at the pooja." Prats stopped him "what are you doing,Krishna, you can't get up from the pooja, sit down." As usual Krishna was very clear about his stance "If you don't sit down I won't either. I don't believe in doing an incomplete pooja, without you participating it will be an incomplete pooja for me." LALLANTOP MOVE, BABA!👍🏼👏😃
SS insulted Krishna in the presence of the assembled pundits. He compared him to the snake wrapped around the sandalwood tree (as the story goes) and finished with some disparaging remarks to his ladla son. Krishna told him "I am in no mood to argue with you. Let's go Pratigya, I am not interested in any pooja" with that he left for the sanctuary of his little paradise with Prats right behind him. I bet your Mom is glaring with hatred at Prats for that right about now. Yep, her eyes are devoid of any spark, just hateful eyes eating her alive. SS called after him "when I tell you the truth, it's let's go Pratigya".Takurji, it always was and will be Pratigya who is the centerpiece of Krishna's life. Samjogi ki nahi?
Preview: Adarsh is on his way home a white sedan speeding through town is following him, a little out of control. The driver honks the horn trying to clear the traffic in his path or so it seems. He tailgates Adarsh who is daydreaming on his ride back home and rear ends his bike sending Adarsh on a flying leap before he lands on the road with a bloodied mouth his bike spinning out of control to the side. The driver's hand wearing a chain link bracelet adjusts the side view mirror to get a better view. A look of recognition registers in Adarsh's eyes when he sees his perpetrator before he passes out.
