Dutta's Study
The episode begins with an on red alert Baji! stuffing the nozzle of his pistol in the big white cuddly bears's mouth. Dutta looks on with his arm folded and curled up palm. Baji yells what is this? hey wait! and he smacks the teddy's cheek to one side. Behind the teddy's head is the body guard .Baji jerks, it's head as to what this thing was?. the BG says, this is a delivery for Bhau.. Dutta pulls his chin to one side and lowers his eyes. Naku who follows the BG on the wooden stairs carries a tray with refreshments . She comes to the landing, and giggles when Baji moans, this dimwit! give me a fright! and he snatches the bear from the BG saying, give it to me and you go now.. Baji throws the big bear up and catches it in his arms against him. The jog up in the air, trigger's the bear's battery operated voice,which says I LOVE YOU! Naku smiles as Baji says, damn it! you can talk as well!, Dutta turns his face to the side and lowers his eyes. Baji joggles the bear puts his arm around the bears neck and brings it before Dutta with a question, what is this Bhau? Dutta turns his face the other way, and with a serious face stands up from his desk and sheepishly heads back to his room. Baji looks down at the bears face and thumps it and follows Bhau into the room..and behind him comes in Naku too with her tea tray. Sudsarshan stands a moment, and supresses a laugh, and then goes down the wooden stairs. Baji calls out, Bhau! check it's weight he's heavy, probably eats like a glutton! sit down here! oye !sit down you can't even sit properly! he orders and plonks the teddy at the end of the settee. Baji looks sat Naku full of mischief and jerks his head at Dutta who stands quietly near the French door, his left hand rests against the wall looking out. Baji folds his arm in a punch and jerks his head towards Dutta and then at the bear... and Naku giggles, as Baji flattens and talks to the bear, you're crazy! want some tea ? then reaches for an empty cup and brings it to the bears mouth, go on drink it! won't charge you for it! here drink! drink! drink ! hey! what will you drink ? the cup is empty! , and Naku laughs and Dutta too looks at Baji with a smile, Baji carries on, pulls up the bear puts his arm around his neck , crosses his leg and cuddles the bear closer , tell me have you got a girl friend? come on tell me! how many? Naku smiles and looks at Dutta ,.. Baji says , one or two, tell me now?.. brings the bears mouth closer to his ear and says, really! hey he's getting silly now! and Dutta turns his face and rolls his eyes.Baji sits the bear on the settee and stands behind, him, and says, Naku don't you wonder how this bear has ended up in here? he should have been in the Anay or Pari's room! Naku nods , yes.. and Baji feels the back of his head with his arm, and says, noo not really ! I love you is a bit much for them! and for our vahini it's a bit too heavy for her! isn't that so Nakusha! you know it's heart is not really his! but it's Bhau's heart! Naku laughs , and Baji says, isn't that true Bhau ? Bhau did you get this present for vahini? and Dutta glares at him. Baji paces and say , I have seen , oldies become young in love many times, but for a young man to turn into child for the first time!. Dutta , yells, ey hero! shall I swing one under your ear! you all said get a gift.. so I phoned the shop , there you know the sales girl, she said, girls like such gifts, people give their girlfriends.. this.. Baji raises his palm in despair! Naku says.. Saab you are very simple.. and she turns to look at the bear sitting on the settee next to Baji .. this is something that school kids like. A confused Dutta admits, how am I expected to know all this?.. you both tell me.. Naku gives a broad smiles and says,something nice, like earrings, necklace, bracelets, Saab , girls love bangles!.Dutta looks hopeful, and Baji bucks Naku up, you're doing well carry on.. and encouraged, Naku continues, Saab whatever you give with love, she will hold close to her heart.. my babaa gave my Aye a silver ring , they may fight, whatever may happen , but she never takes the ring off. Dutta's face softens with her talk. Baji jumps up from the settee, come on then Bhau!, and Dutta says, oyee hero ! we are not going to buy a gun! Naku will go with us,.. Baji is speechless, what can I say... and Naku asks looking at the bear, Saab what shall I do with this bear? Dutta looks at her and says, you keep it, you were laughing, now laugh all you want.. she lowers her eyes and Dutta says, I am going to tell Aye Sahib, and he leaves.Naku looks at the bear with a big smile, and Baji picks him up and passes him to her, here take him koel! you keep this Englishman ! Naku carries him and Baji thumps its head, get lost! .. Naku looks at the bear's face lovingly and blows on its fur, she hugs him , and holds one of the bears paws and waltzes around the room.. holding him close in a warm embrace...
Dutta's , large land cruiser drives out.. for shopping.

Leela's Room
Roops is painting her sister Leela 's toe nails. Roops tells her off, don't move your feet! and Leela complains I am fed up of sitting!. hurry up!. Roops retorts if your are in such a hurry than go to the parlour, and Leela complains, how can I go like this with half painted nails! Roops teases, oh yeah! so cute isn't it?. Kala turns from the window in a strop! can't you shut up! you two! They both look snubbed, Kala says, only want to beautify yourselves! but your brains don't work! whose written this letter ? I can't solve! on top of it your rubbish chatter!. If this carries on that Bhau will get married and our lives will be wrecked! Leela complains , not again Tai the same topic! enough now stop it! you know I nearly died! I think it's Roops turn now.. Roops says , wow now my turn? cute isn't it? Leela looks at her and says, be quiet mad girl!. Kala hisses at them, both of you are cowards ! you are together , that's why nothing comes about right! but what difference does it make to you? for me it's very important to stop this marriage, once a new woman's game starts, then he won't see his sister or mother. Firstly I can't get hold of Supriya's weakness ! on top of of it Aye Sahib hovers around her! if only once I can meet Supriya on her own, my would be SIL. Roops corrects , not would be nearly, Tai today's henna, tomorrow engagement and then day after tomorrow wedding! so cute isn't it?. Kala reels around to face her, had you not been my youngest sister! I would have scratched you! come on then let's go and sit around vahini .. let's see for how long she'll remain silent... somewhere she is bound to open her mouth! after all she is a woman, hisses Kala. Leela refuses, sorry but I am doing no such thing.. Kala glares at them, when I say let's go! then you all come! if you sit here then you'll soon hear the wedding march! get up and come! she orders and stomps out of the room! Leela gives in , have to go now, come.. she tells Roops.

Shopping
Dutta, Naku and Baji , browse in a ladies store. A sales assistant shows Dutta, a ready stitched garment. Baji stands beside a mannequin, feels it's chunni and puts his arm around it's shoulder. Naku saunters over to displayed bangles. She selects and feels a pair with her palm, and turns to Dutta who is busy at the counter opposite looking at clothes , Saab, look at these, they're nice aren't they?. He moves over to her and looks down at her selection. Then he carefully lifts the bangle holder and displays the bangles before Naku 's twinkling eyes... they will look lovely on Supriya Tai, buy them Saab.. Naku smiles approvingly. Baji turns to look at Bhau and Naku , and comes over , and says, what do think Bhau ?they're great! shall I get them packed? and Dutta replies, hummm. Baji smiles and moves over to the till, and Dutta follows him. Naku waits , and looks around and her eyes fall on a mannequin with a royal blue chunni with silver embroidery on it's head.. impressed by it, she moves towards the mannequin, and stands before it admiring the chiffon chunni with scalloped edges, she raises her hand to feel the material. The sales attendant notices her touching the garment , and calls out , excuse me!... then she comes over to Naku , what are you doing? leave it! don't know from where you've turned up from! Dutta turns his head and hears the sales girl's rough words. He slowly turns his body and walks towards Naku , as the salesgirl walks away. Naku stands by the mannequin , while Dutta glares at the girl. She looks back at Bhau worried, she then looks at Naku who still stands by the mannequin. Dutta moves towards Naku , and defiantly looks at the chunni, then at Naku's face. The other salesgirl warns the sales attendant, hey! what are you doing? he's Bhau , Bhau! the girl is with him! go and apologize!. The girl goes to Dutta, sir ! sorry sir!.. and Dutta looks at her face, and then turns to Naku , check it out! Naku , looks up into his narrow eyes, with her wide eyes and mumbles, umm I was just feeling it.. Dutta turns his eyes towards the chunni , and says, I've said , so try it on..
Naku takes the chunni off the mannequin gently as Dutta watches. She pulls it around her shoulders and then lifts it to the top of her head. Dutta watches her silently... it's nice, do you like it ? he asks. Naku smiles, me was.. only.. and he says , keep it... you taught me how to buy a gift, so I am giving you a gift.. hummm.. Naku smiles and hugs the chunni around her. Baji joins them and says, really Bhau! Naku looks so different! what do you say Naku ? , she smiles as she keeps the chunni around her shoulders, and Dutta with a serious face says, come on let's go.. and he moves off , but Naku stays back for a moment,happily she lifts the chunni and yet again puts it down on her head, smiling.

Dutta, Baji, Naku , return home after the shopping trip. Baji talks to someone on the phone, yes kaka, we need some trustworthy person from your village! Bhau has said so, he will be Supriya vahini's body guard, yeah body guard! yes!. Sethji enters doing kung fu fighting as Baji continues on the phone. Baji turns and looks at Sethji doing karate kicks and punches in space, and says on the phone, just hold on , I'll ring you back!.
He yells at Sethji oye half pants! you gone crazy? what the hell are you doing?, he replies with a big smile, hey Baji uncle! don't you know Judo Karate! for some time I have not practiced , now if I say something you'll think I am bragging! I tell you the truth, in my basti! in fact all of Mumbai ! I have a big name! yeah!. Baji crouches beside him, Sethji , you are mind blowing! made a mistake by sending you to school! this Bhau did honestly!, Sethji says, yes I am trying to sus out Bhau,.. I want to say that.. Bhau's would be wife need's a body guard, I am simply wasting my time at school! it would be better , that from now on I do this work,who knows I might become Bajirao one day isn't it? Baji says , that's my boy ! come on I'll give you a task , from tomorrow you become Supriya vahini's body guard! But... before that you have to do a small thing ..Baji shows him his palm, then closes it.. come on now you open my fist! Sethji not impressed, says , you should give me a bigger job! and Baji says, oyee! you do this first.. Sethji tries his hands at opening Baji's tightly clenched fist! He struggles, and Baji says , go on open it! and Sethji carries on, yes yes it'll be done!. Baji , rolls his eyes, and Sethji sweats on , yes! nearly done! but gets nowhere, and when Baji looks the other way , Sethji , sinks his teeth into his fist!

Guest Room
Supriya's mehndi palms are shown. Her, would be MIL and SIL's sit around her on her bed. She passes both her open palms ,one to Kala and the other to a professional Heena, stylist. All watch lovingly, as Roops says to Kala, Tai write Bhau's name on Supriya's palm. Kala looks at Roops , but doesn't say anything. Dutta enters the room carrying a red jewellery box. He stands clutching the box , as he looks from far that her hands are having henna applied to them. Aye sahib, notices him standing silently, and calls him , Dutta come!..and Supriya and his sisters look up at him, Aye asks , what have you got there?, a hesitant Dutta replies , holding on to the box, Aye.. this.. Roops , asks him, wow Bhau! this is for me, so cute isn't it?. Leela checks her, stupid! not for his sisters, it's for vahini! isn't that so Bhau?.Dutta nods silently. Supriya gives him a distant look, as he slowly moves up to the edge of the bed, steals an upward glance at Supriya and puts the red jewellery box before Supriya on the bed.. and then turns and walks out of the room, ceremoniously.
Kala picks up the box opens it, and exclaims, wow! take a look vahini! they are real diamonds! you have won Bhau's heart, that's why! this is how he will shower you with pearls and diamonds, so better get used to that, isn't that so Aye ? and Aye says, yes of course. Supriya looks weary and worried.. episode ends..Hamlet53. 23.10.13.
Precap~ Naku ,sees the reflection of her fair face in a kitchen utensil. Kala and Leela head for the kitchen and call her name, Nakusha!. Naku covers her face with her hands..
The episode is overall a fun one to watch, with Baji providing comic relief, right from the beginning of the episode to nearly the end, where Sethji too joins in with his churlish turns. Baji brings in a freshness which has a pleasing local ring to it, the way he moves , what he says, and the manner he says it in.. one word rapchik! awesome! His jabbering with the bear is amusing, so much so that even the surly dangerous Bhau mellows down to Baji's imaginative play..
However the main focus of the episode, to me has to be on the word gift. In fact the mention of a gift, seeps in from the previous episode where Aye , suggests Dutta get a present for Supriya. Then in this episode, carries on with his teasing Bhau.. gift of love!. Naku too refers to giving a gift to a loved one from the bottom of one's heart, she illustrates it with a personal example.
So what then is a gift? it is something to be given. A token of one's sentiments. There is gift giving and then there is gift receiving. So what then is the purpose behind a gift? , well there are many ,and the beauty of the present day commercial world is there are many gifts , ready packed with lots gift ideas for a variety of occasions.
Hence looking at the concept of giving gifts, it's done for a few reasons. There is gift giving, to move along with the norms of society, i.e, the done thing. This is mostly done to keep up appearances, usually on ceremonies. Gifts given to show esteem and respect for the receiving party. Gifts given to return favours.Gifts given to make up to some body, which is what Aye Sahib wanted Dutta to do. Then there are gifts which are given because the giver wants to, out of personal emotional reasons. For such gifts, the value of the gift does not matter, for it's the thought the gift that counts.. This gift Dutta gives to Naku in the form of the chunni.. he wants to say thank you to her for briefing him about what girls like.
Now even though Supriya ends up with diamonds, for Naku though, the best present or gift is her Saab's company and his undivided attention.. so for Naku who has nothing ends up having a lot to last her for times to come... hammie..
N.B~ many thanks for reading the previous WU. Elenna, mirage ,jedy, twinky, Naku,warrie, tammy, uvi..
Thanks Hammie :)
Cant anyone in the family see how unhappy Supriya looks 🤔
And when Bhau is near her she looks uncomfortable, scared and almost starts to hyperventilate.
hi fiz, I think its also because the poor girl already likes someone else..

Thank you Hammie
Gratification is what I feel when I read your engrossing WUs, your expressionistic style of writing, and your 1st/2nd/3rd person (as appropriate) perspective snippet on one or more of the characters' physical, mental, moral, spiritual or social qualities relevant to the specific episode.
Your WU will now add much more vivid and detailed content to the existing original daily WUs written with enduring and arduous dedication, a timeless credit to all those wonderful creative writers.
Hoping you will be able to continue with the WUs for as long as you can. As I see it, even if there is only 1 person posting a reply or clicking the like button, someone is reading. In my opinion it should never be considered a repetition but together with the other archived daily WUs, your episodic WUs are a substantial addition that gives the reader more descriptive vivid accounts of the story written with evocative imagery that enhance clarity and insight to this everlasting story.
Would it be possible to ask one of the DT's (swati2008 or maybe even Yuvika_15) if this thread can be made a sticky thread that can be archived under the Laagi Tujhse Lagan Forum Important Topics?
