I am telling you, every freaking serial on TV these days dishes out more interesting love stories of elderly parents than that of the younger ones.
Parud story has hit a wall, they are married, they know they love each other. the last hold out is the actual consumashuns. but that eventuality will wait till the last episode, so none of us are holding our breaths for it. it will be nice when it happens. It is the useless trump card CVs are holding close to their chest and everyone knows what the trump card is so hoo haa boo, no suspense!
But here we have a love quadrangle - and what a masaledar backstory!! KcM is a jilted sister who was presented a plateful of sweet gulab jamuns only to be told later that she will need go on a permanent zero-carb diet! No wonder the woman harnesses such deep regret and anger towards others.
Can you imagine a 19 year old KcM, traipsing through the dusty, mud-caked alleys of Chandangarh? She thought she was the brainy sister while Mala was the one with beauty. She didn't care for the open approval and admiring glances Mala received while she was ignored by the brawny choras/bachelors of Chandangarh. She knew with her sharp brain and even sharper tongue she could slither her way through any situation and get what she wants.
Then comes the local most-wanted-Bachelor Dilsher - the name beams with self-confidence and virility. KcM thinks the man must be smart and would easily understand that beauty is transient while brains win every challenge. But no, he turned out to be nothing more than just a hero looking for a beautiful heroine to complete his story. KcM tried, oh she did, so Dilsher would see how she is the better sister. She won the local Math Olympiad, she won Chandangarh Spelling Bee, which was not telecast on ESPN sadly. She even participated in the Kaun Banega Crorepati and hoped she would land the real Pati with the money and the Crore rupees. But alas!
What was worse? She got betrothed to the hapless Danveer, whose only claim to fame was his hip joined with Dilsher. Thats the day she began grinding her teeth, which are down to sensitive little stubs. She learned to twitch her brows, after hours of practice in front of the mirror. She began perfecting the art of deceit and practiced snark at every opportunity. In the early days her snarks were duds but over time she got better. She wrote a book on how to make everyone's life miserable under pseudonym - MawHiney WrungOut. She did all this in preparation for one day - that one day when she would get her revenge.
That day has arrived.
But with every part sagging, and nothing held up anymore against gravity as it should be, with hair that has more peroxide than keratin, with teeth that has more filling than actual teeth, with makeup that serves the purpose of putty rolled over messy potholes worse than the ones in desi highways - does it even matter?
Its not like she got a bad deal. She has a "working" husband whose consumashuns machinery by all accounts is much more active than dilsher! They produced three kids after all while Dilly boy managed to drive out his wife after just one?
She may not count her blessings but really Who got the raw deal here?
