VD blog from the sets of Madhubala
Wardrobe mistress strike Day 4. We are roaming around drunk on the fumes of deodorant that we spray around us as we move. The surrounding air is thick with chemicals and acrid sweat, almost impossible to breathe. Drashti has developed an odour so powerful that RAW have contacted her for research on a possible weapon grade stink bomb development. Help us!
Meanwhile, in happy FQland:
We watch as, as predicted by everyone and their cats, Madhu bitchslaps Deepali from Mayfair to Malad and declines her dirty, undeclared money. And informs the Income Tax in the bargain. ( She didn't, but she so should!)
Padmini has arrived on a completely non-existent pretext to gaze at hot son in law. She is carrying a large checked something, which looks like the result of a dirty intrigue between Burberry and a Madras check. Presumably, it's a medical report. What? Not bound and indexed as medical docs in this universe tend to be?
She is about to deliver dialogue of clunk by telling Madhu about the Healers from St Mungo's, but is interrupted by RK. Who once again saunters down the stairs. They just use him as a device for mass distraction, don't they? Because didn't he tell Pads to not come to his house again last time she was here. And RK has an excellent memory and reminds MIL of precisely this fact. He insults her some more. Rather than thanking RK and getting out of Dodge, P insists on getting snitty and melodramatic.
RK smirks sexily. You know the prescription re correct adverbial suffixage by now, I hope.
Madhu's eyes are getting larger and larger. She is beginning to resemble a Manga character. RK is shooting laser beams of sweet sexy suffocating death by desire from his eyes. (sssdbd).
Padmini delivers her invitation to the ganpati puja at the chawl. RK prohibits anyone from his household attending. He does say ,however, that if she ever felt minded to worship him, he would be there in person. Swayam, he says but not sakshat. Missed a trick there, boys. VD tries to say Krupya in there, but because he didn't have a classical sanskritic education, is unable to distinguish between the drava and murdhanya versions of the R sound. FQ can come around and teach you, sweety. She loves her some Indic languages. She could give you some tongue tuition. How to get his aspiratives right, I meant, dirt minds!
Finally P leaves, and Madhu stalks upstairs to confront husband.
Husband is trying to watch a film and points out that Madhu is not transparent. Madhu, having forgotten all the insights she has recently had into her husband, tries to reprise angry chawl girl again. They have a raging debate about duality, destiny and divinity. And I'm NOT kidding. But couched in really bad dialogue about the inability of Bappa to help Madhu directly by depositing money in her account or at least making sure she completed the 7 pheras. RK grabs Madhu at one point while speaking to god. No really, and it ain't no euphemism for anything else either, so you can rest your gutter-minds.
Madhu flounces away, nary a limp in sight.
Deepali tries to get in some good ole RK touching while delivering the pocorn he had asked for over the intercom. So they have one. I just thought you were meant to shout as loudly as possible.
RK disentangles himself and asks her to mind her own business.
Madhu returns to her old room, where she left her Bappa all by his lonesome. That's some full on hypocritical bhakti right there! She didn't remember him when she was being carried around by hot hubby, did she?
She has some really childish lines about defending Bappa in front of RK. M darling. He is god. Doesn't need humans defending him.
Radhaji, who tracks Madhu using a RFID tag on her iPad, just like RK, finds her and shows her some albums featuring RISHU with Bappa. They are photo albums, not a Queen tribute band, so don't get too excited.
Apparently, death of his dad turned Rishu from god. Wow, that's surprising. Madhu make a solemn promise to be a religious fundamentalist and forcibly convert RK to Bappism. And no, I don't mean the adoption of dozens of gold chains look either.
next week
