Hello there! So something on SvS for the first time, inspired by my friend Mahi's OS series. Do let me know what you feel.


THE SARABHAIS AND THE THIEF


That afternoon, it so happened that a burglar broke into the Sarabhai mansion. Robbery in broad daylight was so in and why should the extravagant high class have all the fun?

So this guy dodged the wall and sprang in through the kitchen chimney and the first person to see him was undoubtedly the daughter-in-law of the household, Monisha. But then, she was so absorbed in preparing some not so delectable khakra from the previous month's leftover chapatis that she didn't take note of him until much later. Alas, the poor thing thought he could get away with rendering her unconscious aided by a napkin and a few drops of chloroform and all we can do is to sympathize with him. Back to the story, back to the story. So, when Monisha set her eyes upon this robber, his cinder covered face induced fright that the woman couldn't handle and so came a scream followed by another.

"Bhoot! Mummyji! Sahil, Bhoot!" She shouted and we couldn't help but feel bad for her throat. Thank goodness, it didn't suffer wear and tear.
"Kya hua Monisha? Kyun chilla rahi ho?" Maya walked in tardily, not caring to let go off her typical catwalk "And this Bhoot and all, huh? Can't you just say, a ghost specializing in sorcery and possessing clairvoyant powers? The word bhoot in itself is paranormally middle class!"

The burglar could only stare at this carefree, lavish lady, his eyeballs bulging out in wonder. That's when Maya saw him.

"Sahil! Indu!" Even in difficult times as that, Maya just wouldn't mend her ways as she exclaimed with not much of exertion and nearly fainted.

Sahil came running for help and Indu followed, hoping by all means that he would be able to derive a laugh or two from the fiasco that was to ensue. The last of all came Roshesh, looking worried beyond measure.

"Koun ho tum?" Sahil tried to put on a brave front but noticing the knife in the burglar's hand started to stammer.
Roshesh rushed to his Momma's side (who had this time fainted for real) and started to cry inconsolably, sobs that sounded more like donkey brays than anything else.
"Roshesh, rona band karo varna poora jungle yahan aa jayega tumhe chup karane!" That was very imperative yet honest of Indu "Iss bhoot se darawni toh tumhari awaz hai!"
"Daddyji, Mummyji!" Monisha tried to draw his attention towards Maya who lay on the floor.
"Maya jaye bhaad mein! Pehle iss bhoot se toh nipat lene de!" Indu was quick to reply.
"Kya? Maya bhaad mein jaye? Tumhare liye apni wife se zyada, a bloody ghost is more important?" Maya got up with a start. So she hadn't fallen for real this time around too.
"Momma!" Roshesh started to hop around "Meri momma hai bilkul thik, my happiness is at its peak!"
"Arey ab iss bhoot ka bhi koi kuch karo!" Monisha interrupted "Ye khakre bana lun uske baad vo serial bhi toh dekhna hai mujhe, 'Maa ka pyaar aur saas ka vaar, dekhiye har somvaar!'"
"Ghosh Monisha! How many times will i have to tell you this? Kuch karo nahi say, deal with him, deal with the ghost!'"
"Areyy bhoot nahi hun main..." The burglar exclaimed, jeopardized by both laughter and cries "Chor hun main, chor! Koi bhoot voot nahi hun!" He wept bitterly.
"Kya? Chor? Sahil, jao jakar dekho beta, my precious pieces of diamond jewellery that i bought from France, i hope they are safe!" Monisha looked absolutely tensed.
"Kyun jhoot bolti ho, Maya? Tum toh kabhi France gayi hi nahi ho!" Indu spat.
"Shut your mouth, Indu. Tumhe kuch nahi pata. Chalo accha hai, ye ghost nahi hai, we don't need to summon my lovely daughter Soniya anymore" Pride soon took over the best of Maya.
"Par mummyji, mujhe Soniya se milna tha, bahut mann tha mera!" Monisha frowned.
"Wuhoon..." The cries grew louder and clearer "Arey bas kijiye aap log, main yahan chori karne aaya tha! Maaf kardo mujhe, baksh do!" He whined and whined and wept as he hit himself hard on the head "Arey isse accha toh ye hota ki aap log police ke hawale kar dete mujhe!"
"Arey, accha yaad dilaya! Sahil, call the police!" Indu ordered as though he had been waiting for just this.

And so the police arrived, arrested the burglar and took him along and normalcy was duly returned to the sarabhai household, not that normal people reside therein but let's just pretend that all the farrago that they produce and 'deal with' is pretty much 'normal'. As for the burglar, we opine he was much better off in prison, away from our feisty family and the house that was nothing less than a battlefield.

OMG *hyperventilating*
This was seriously awesome! The satire was so point on. Literally, amazing!
And I loved the overall sophisticated tone. You write like Maya Sarabhai 😆

Such "posch" comedy is indeed very awwdorable to read!
Poor thief. Prison seems good than the household.
Maya the nautanki, Monisha the 'unbelivable' & Rosesh the flimsy fellow.
Thank god Dushyant didn't come 🤣

I could imagine the thief in the end saying -Bacha lo mujhe!🤣🤣

You're a terrific brilliant writer. How about a pen name for you?

Oh ghosh! This was just the comment i wanted. 😆 Honestly, i missed my most wonderfully talented reader. The sophisticated tone was incorporated on purpose. 😎
Maybe next time i'll try to pull in Dushyant. 😉
Oh my my, i love the pen name but beg to state that i am not all that amazing! 😳
Thanks a lot sis! 🤗 And guess what, our WiFi is back. 😎

Since you PM-ed me I could not help but come here and read this. I was so laughing and enjoying, I read it twice 🤣
Monisha assuming him to be a ghost was so spot on! Hats off. You portrayed the characters with their originality.

Indu saying Rosesh to stop crying was so accurate. His witty personality well shown and Maya as usual full in her showing off and sophisticated manners.

I must admit to you that only as I read that Mahi inspired you, I noticed that it is not Mahi's shot but your 🤣
Somehow I've always gotten confused between you and Mahi. Pardon me, I have no idea why

Now am happy to see another person writing on SvS with that charm of season 1. As much I was happy for SvS 2 but it could not win my heart especially last Tuesday's episode with their over the limit advertising.
Yet to see today's episode.

Really well done. Awesome shot.

Wow!
Rammy!! An OS on Sarabhai!! Gosh, it's really an impossible feat to pull off in itself. Comedy genre is not everybody's cup of tea however having said that, this was absolutely STUNNING. I truly mean it when I say you're a genius. The characters were all well etched and perfect to the T and so were the dialogues. Loved it. Totally.❤️🤣


Love

But no she is Monisha... She shouts Bhoot!!!! D most unexpected word...
Maya listening this immediately comes to tell her to not call.bhoot but call ghost... Not noticing why she is calling Bhoot at first place... Maya will be Maya... After all she is Monishas mother in all...

Indu comes in just in case he gets to do.some mischief or make some fun...

Finally Maya notices & faints... Seriously I thought she was strong... But no she was drama women...😆
Rosesh crying...😭

Finally theif tired & reveals he is thief & not bhoot😆
Now this cant get any better...

Maya immediately worries abt her precious diamonds from France which she bought in her dreams😆
Indu won't leave a chance to butt in & irritate Maya...

Maya tells good now no need to call Sonia but Monisha wanted to meet her... So she thinks it was better if he was Bhoot...
