@.nimmi.Nimmi,Is this the Nandini who wrote LTL with Jayesh Patel. Naaa! I think she was Nandini Arora. Seeing you post this beautiful person with the name Nandini brought up memories of the Nandini Arora who was either a writer with Jayesh or a scriptwriter of LTL. Now that I am thinking back I wonder if Nandini Arora might also be the BB person who wrote D-N The Real Eternal Story.

LTL Written Update
Episode ~ 3
30th December 2009
Naku's home
Episode picks up from a nightmare scene that Babi was having , she repeatedly calls for Naku who tries to calm her distressed mother. Naku confirms is it the same bad dream you have continually Aye? A distraught Babi says yes and then helplessly begs for her daughters' understanding by adding, Naku you know why I am doing all this, it breaks my heart from within, but I am helpless, please forgive me Naku ! Babi cries before her daughter. Naku brushes her mothers pleas for pardons aside a tad embarrassed, and instead sets to empower her mother , by saying Aye, have I ever questioned anything? Complained ?Aye you are my mother , whatever you do will be right.. she assures her mother that she is at full liberty to keep her the way she wants her to be. Naku then like a mother, calms her mother and coaxes her to lye back down on her bed to sleep, like a mum she covers Babi with a sheet and cuddles her saying tonight Naku will put her Aye to bed.. and she pats her mother as if she were a child and constantly hugs her to convey the supportive assurance of her love for her mother. A moving scene that defines a bond of pain..
Day break in the Basti
Morning has broken, the trawler on the sea hoots, a sign for activity to begin. Within Naku's house she gets ready for work. Babi pampers her daughter and insists on feeding her breakfast and offers her tea. Naku in a hurry to leave is reluctant to eat but Babi reminds her she'd best eat as Sethji will finish it off by the time she returns from work. Babi is rushed of her feet, what with her cooker whistling off!
Great commotion in the street as Sethji runs wild flashing a newspaper before who so ever he comes across, my tai's photo is in the newspaper! look every one! His gang of friends want to have a peek ,but he dashes off straight to the kitchen of his house where Babi sits squatting before the earthen fire hearth blowing air through the iron cylinder to fan the fire.. Sethji shouts tai's photo in the paper! she stops her chore and goes after her son yelling show me ! but her impish son races up the stairs chased both by his mother and sister.. he looks at the newspaper from the balcony , while Babi and Naku look up at him impatiently.. Babi calls out give the newspaper! but he has a better idea, he says give the money for newspaper at least! and a desperate Babi says you take your mother for a ride! and he full of craftiness looks at the picture in the news paper and further teases the keen ladies by going wowie.. Tai's photo!. Babi gives in and says to Naku , just give throw the paisa at his face! The imp! catches the coin smug as a bug, at his manipulative transaction and throws the newspaper at his mother and sister.
An exuberant Babi looks for Naku's picture, finds it and is shocked to see it printed beside that of a pretty girl. A standing Naku looks at her picture.. and she recalls how she was asked to pose for many shots and eventually offered money for the photo taken...horrified Babi looks on but is unable to read the bold headings atop both shots. Sethji sits beside Babi and she asks him to read which he does.. the writing above Naku's picture says do you look like this? Whilst the other says but wish to look like a beauty queen? does no one want to marry you? grooms run from you? does every one laugh at you? but you want every one to die for your looks? So come we will cleanse your face, change your ugliness and make you look picture perfect with modern Laser treatment in only just a week!
Babi is repulsed, while Sethji teases oyee tai has hit a jackpot! She shuts him up angrily , and then baffled repeats what is this??.Takes Naku to task demanding an explanation from her. Naku is silent as Babi throws the newspaper in anger. The penny suddenly drops and she confronts her daughter , all that stuff you bought for the pooja ! you lied to me your mother! you earned money from this photo? Naku, clearly, frightened stammers , she wasn't aware that the photo was for this purpose.. besides you needed cash for the pooja. Babi says you didn't know? that's why you made a joke of your self and me! great you did a huge favour by earning money this way ! weeping Naku defends herself that I did it to please you. Babi retorts no need to please me this way! which mother would want her daughter to degrade herself in this way? did I carry you in my womb for nine months so people all over can laugh at the way you look? Naku carries on convincing her mother, she says trust me Aye , I really didn't know this would happen you have to trust me.. that Sangeeta, told me that Champuk would take my photo and pay me for it. Babi suspiciously confirms with Naku this Sangeeta works with you? but who the hell is this Champuk? answer me! A frightened Naku discloses he is a photographer and is Sangeeta's friend. Babi then has to do what Babi has to do!
She heads for the kitchen pulls out an ignited piece of wood and charges out of the house, in full fighting mode to sort this man who used her daughter to advertise his laser business! Naku calls out for her to stop but stops she not... as Sethji yells out gleefully... the lioness is on the rampage someone's going to get it!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Champuk's studio
Babi charges down the street this time brandishing the hot burnt piece of wood ,demanding Naku where this man's shop was? Naku tries in vain to deter her Aye from proceeding further, but Babi is hell bent in her decision and pays a deaf ear to her daughters pleas of forget it Aye!
Meanwhile Champuk is busy alluring and clicking pictures of another young girl promising her that the portfolio he makes for her will surely get her the lead heroine role in next Dhoom three! and he breaks into a bottom wiggling dance singing dhoom maacha le! dhoom maache le! When suddenly he gets Babi's kick up his back side! lands on the floor against his studio car prop!. highly shaken he stutters who is there? lights on! Before him stands with full Ganpati fanfare and drum beats Babi with her iron fire blower!!! He is flabbergasted at the sight of this middle age female warrior[ loved the scene]. He asks who are you?
She grabs him by the collar , pulls him up to his feet, fires a volley of abuse at him and says threateningly you dare to print my daughters photo!. Champuk doesn't understand and Babi calls Naku inside the studio to refresh his memory!exactly what she means! Naku comes in and Champuk most perplexed exclaims you!! did you bring this mad woman here? Babi turns madder and says who are you calling mad?. He turns to Naku ,and warns, tell your mother not to antagonize me!or else! but Babi roughs him up and threatens him talk to me I am her mother! So what will you do? she screams at Champuk as she throws him in studio armchair; slips her foot out of her slipper and orders Naku to strike him with the slipper , and he yells she'll hit me this dark queen! kallurani! Babi gets more violent with him ready to hit him with the fuel wood, she repeats again you printed her photo so people can laugh at her! and he says its god who has made a joke out her! Then Babi invites Naku and the other model to hit Champuk! and he gives cruel remarks like I did her a favour gave her 1000 Rupees for her witch like face! such a weird face that even the banshees and ghouls! would get frightened of her! He warns Naku you better tell your mother don't mess with or else she'll regret!
Babi becomes more wound up and grabs his camera from his hand and says this is the camera you used to snap my daughter 's picture? She smashes it on the floor and vigorously stamps her foot on it! while he shouts you have broken my costly camera! She stops and threatens him now let this be a lesson! next time you repeat this mistake instead of this camera it'll be your head that will be smashed!! and Babi gives him one final glare and drags Naku and leaves the studio... A shaken Champuk looks on helpless, as his model too leaves!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BASTI
Babi still sore with Naku tugs her all the way home. Here too more ridicule hurled at Naku, this time cat calls from workers hanging lighting at the quay ..oyeee poor people's beauty queen! where are you going? have a picture taken with us too! we'll pay you! Babi picks up a rock and throws at them to quieten them.. but they shout out shamelessly oyee beauty queens mum hits back! Babi still wants to confront them but Naku veers her off and takes her into the house.
In another corner of the Basti a lighter ignites before Sethji's face as his trembling fingers hold a ciggy between them.The older boy with the lighter teases him, you scared to smoke the cigarette Sethji!. Sethji accepts the challenge no of course not! light it up!
Before the ciggy is lit Babi arrives grabs the ciggy throws it on the ground and squashes it including the rest of the pack. The older boy complains the pack cost him and she shouts in his face your milk teeth haven't fallen out yet and you smoke like a chimney!.she pulls Sethji's ear and yells come home I'll sort you out! father drunkard! son a junkie ! and daughter a nitwit! what a family I have! She then turns to the older boy, if I see you hovering about my son again! I'll burn your curly noodles hair!
The boy calls out as Babi drags her children home, oyee Sethji your mother is mad!
Ganapat / Babi scene
It's night fall Ganpat swaggers home drunk, sings pani theem theem! waves a branch, causes a light disturbance on the street. Inebriated he stands before his door and says open sim sim!. Babi opens the door! and he says hail my great goddess has arrived. She pulls him in and sits him down but he asks for booze. Sethji lies on the floor watching some late night film on the telly, Babi turns the telly off! complains to Ganpat you'll spoil him! and he retorts why I didn't get spoilt ? he won't either!
Babi moans at her husband what kind of a father are you? people laugh at your daughters face and it makes no difference to you.
Ganpat grabs hold of Naku's arm and says your mother has said that when people laugh at your face ,it makes no difference to me.. you tell me Naku should it make any difference to me??he says with a reflective sly look , and Naku returns his gaze silently ...episode ends.. Hamlet53~29.8.13
