Walking to Ranthambore🤣
Friday dawned bright and clear, except II sneezed all night long Thursday night had blurry vision,
runny nose and was crabby, almost PMSing crabby... but wont admit it
Appa was heard telling Amma "Avala office poha vendaam sollu" (Asker her not to go to work)
Amma:You can tell her too
Appa: Ummm.. no.. she has no respect for me
Amma:She wants to get married to a good guy
Appa:Suer he is wonderful he is mocking me saying he will take her to Paris
Amma: If u tell him he is rushing the wedding what will he do?
Appa: Its my daughter u know, he cant just come in and take her away
Amma: Would you have said the same if the boy was Iyer?
Appa:I dont want to talk about it, he is over smart and arrogant and dishonest
Amma: Did u watch him rob a bank
WELL HE STOLE MY DAUGHTER!! Appa wanted to yell
Appa: Avasara avasarama kalyanam, tomorrow she will be pregnant and (mumble mumble)
Amma:I had Vandita 8.5 months after, how is that wrong NOW?
Appa: Umm... I cant... I am not... I wont approve.. why this hurry, lets wait for a year no? Punjabis have long courtship
Amma: So?
Appa: I suspect foul play?
Amma burst out laughing, over WHAT?
Appa: she is our kozhandai, the baby... she is only 27
Amma: its 6 AM I have to go take a shower and go to my book meeting before work, u continue speculating
Appa:My brother has texted to say "Congrats.. a Punjabi grandchild soon?" (appa mocked)
Amma: YES tell him, that it will look like his Dad... R&B...
aarehal adi osaram chekka chever nu, tala naraya mudiyoda, veshamama irukkum nu
(tell ur worthless brother, the baby will be tall fair and handsome with lots of hair and be very naughty)
Amma went into the bathroom bolted the door came out and said "Oh also tell him he put a Rs. crore worth diamond ring, not sure how much it is... and then that platinum set,
tell him they will hire Sitaraman permanently and send armed guards with her wherever she travels
Appa stared uncomfortably
she got to work at 7:30, not one text or one phone call and she was an "engaged woman"
She had just gone off to his house the day they went to Sam's for lunch and made out
He hadnt bothered to contact her... she cried on the way to work...
Appa and Amma were going to Sringeri temple to talk about reservations for March 8th... things were moving along just fine... the relatives were informed, instead of one massive
explosion there were smaller eruptions a couple on Thursday nite... she had mainly been in her room since she returned
The sick joke was when they werent engaged she was kissing him every Friday or Saturday, and now that she was there was not one phone call or text
PIGG!
She left her car for Amma and took a cab, since she had to go to Sheikh Sarai in the morning... she couldnt bend her head her head felt so heavy...
She went to the Daily Perk got herself a ginger chai and a spicy aloo roll for breakfast.. devoured it got another one and went back to her desk
"Feed the cold pattu kutti" Appa would say.. (pattu kutti is basically love pattu is silk... kutti is baby)
Appa would pamper and spoil her, buying all sorts of over the counter meds, oranges orange juice, take a half day off and make tomato soup
"Innikki he does even care, all because of the Rakshasan, NEWS FLASH APPA EVEN HE DOESNT CARE"
Bally showed at 9 ish happy and chirpy... didnt enter her cube pretended she had some deadly virus...
"How mean Bally"
"Tera mooh laal hai eyes nose har jagah se paani DAFTAR mein kya kar rahi hai?"
"Kyon yahan bhi koi mujhe nahi chahta kya?'
"Kya hua kiddo?"
"Kuch nahi dont huge me" he paused
"Ladkar aayi kya dakoo se"
"Ladne ke liye baat karna padta hai"
"OOO Cold war"
"Bally please"
Achha sun, main ja raha hoon 4 baje tak ghar Suman aur bachon ko lekar Jaipur for Saurabh's baby's 1st Bday"
"Main bhi chaloon I want to shop?"
"Haan chal na, mere naye chamakti SUV mein 6 log baith sakte hain"
"Seriously?'
"Haan kiddo, lets leave at 4, we will start driving at 6 ish and get there by 10?"
"I am so tempted... IF only I didnt have a cold"
"Haan hum gareeb ke saath kyon jaayegi, Malcha MargITE
"Shut up"
"Hero ko bhi lekar chal"
"Her... HE is in Paris"
"Oooh oooh AB SAMJHA ruthe ruthe piya" Bally sang REALLY BADLY
She picked up her wrist pad by the key board and smacked him..
"Sab maarte hain mujhe.. soch kiddo 4 ish"
She smiled, kya naam hai uska?"
"Kucha naya naam hai yaar stylish "Anvesh kuch"
She nodded, he left her alone... she went out at Noon and ate a nice meal by herself, her body ache was coming back she sneezed 20 times... and popped something
Shravu texted her around 6, Akka hadnt called her all day.. they were supposed to go this weekend to Nalli to buy sarees
She was in no mood to go, all the North Indian girls shopped with their "guys"
Her eyes were filling up with every sneeze she just called him...
"Hey love, how are u kanna?'
"Why are u talking in a man's voice?'
"I have a cold kanna"
"Do u have monomyobacterium?"
"No UR Uncle R gave me that, since I got rid of him I no longer have that"
Shravu giggled "So u wont marry him? can he be my best friend again"
"Vechukko da, keep him" she mumbled
Shravu "When I see him today I will tell him
"are u going to his house?"
"ALL OF US ARE... Amma Appa and even the baby in Amma's tummy, all are going to Uncle R's"
II let her tears flow as her sneeze came
"PIGGG" RAKSHASAN... DIDNT EVEN TELL ME... NIIICE
APPA WAS RIGHT.. HE DOESNT CARE... THE TRUTH IS I AM KIDDING MYSELF
Shravu said something non stop about how Nandu beat him at some game last time
"Hey Shravu I hope u have a good time"
"Oh ya u are not going since u are no longer marrying him?"
"I think so"
PIGG.. SLIME BALL... JERK
"Well I am going to be having fun chithi"
"Oh ya I am going to be having FUN-NER da... I am going to Jaipur"
"Where is that?" BORED
"Its going to be 4 hours in a nice shiny car, u have boring food on a dining table, while I go to Ranthambore tomorrow... you Animal Planet"
"Chitheee, please can I go"
"Oh no! its all sold out... PODA!" smug
"U dont even love animals like Uncle R and I do"
"Too bad some people get all the nice things, LIKE II, II II" gushing
"I am going to tell Amma"
"Tell her right now" II hung up
Stomped to Bally's cube and demanded to go
He was only too happy.. but looked at her strangely as she behaved like a crazed person...
"COLD MEDS" she insisted
They left for Delhi at 4 ish, her parents werent home, so she just told Periappa
like she always did before any trip, packed her tote bag... with random combination of jeans and tees and blouses from BR to GAP...
Texted her parents "Naan Bally oda Jaipur poren"
Amma called her IMMEDIATELY "Avar kitta sonneya?' (UNKO kaha kya?)
"I told Appa" she said bluntly
Amma: Ishita stop misunderstanding SHOW SOME RESPECT did u tell R&B?
II: oh ya oh ya... he said I should have fun
Amma:U have such a terrible cold... and you want to go to Japiur?
II: because the baby's birthday is Sunday and it wont wait until the cold gets better
Amma: Stop mocking me I am your mother, I am surprised HE IS LETTING YOU GO, I wonder if Appa is right
II: Whattt?
Amma: He should not be allowing you
II: ITS A COLD MA he travels the world alone the guy is not going to act like I am a baby (tearing up)
Amma: Text me Baldev's number I dont know what i will say to Appa he said I was supposed to take you to Dr Mittal in the evening
II: i am fine...
II took a cab... to Vasant Kunj and slept all the way to Jaipur
R&B's guests would arrive at 8 ish
Shravu: Name two marsupials
R&B hoisted him up in the air
Vandu smiled and sat down... weary
R&B: possum and koala
Shravu: darn it I am going to go play u answered I dont get any present
He ran with his DS
Vandu: shravu which game do u have in there?
Shravu: mario
Vandu: Chithi says right NEW GAMES cant be brought out for a month
ShravU: she wont know she is in Jaipur
R&B froze...
Vandu: JAIPUR? Who told u
Shravu: she did (dodging hiding like a ninja)
Vandu looked at R&B he was as usual IMPASSIVE
Vandu: Who did she go with??😲😲(terrified)
Shravu:Alone... walking (NO IDEA WHERE JAIPUR IS) AND she is going to Ranthambore🤣
"A third marsupial Shravu would be the "Iyer devil" (its the Australian Devil actually) R&B would mutter inaudibly as he would go to the kitchen...Vandu would stare at him, as she frantically fished her phone out... Bala and Sam & Co would arrive exactly then...
Moral of the story: what R&B can do II can do it better!!🤣😈😈
