I said crosswords...galti se maybe... I meant only in the mags, i remember u saying while telling ur stry that u ask ur husband get them whenever he flies (or maybe he gets it on gis own now that i don't remember )

Il say ur family is mostly lucky wid weight... I don't compromise on food or work out but at an average i say im fat atleast once a day if not more, like all my odr cribbing stories maybe dis one is also more out of habbit...patani...

I did feel touched by the little INSTANTANEOUS concerns shown by the son ..The whole holding te hand out, assurance, leaving the phone where it is...He sure does care somewhere...

On second thots...for the man Ranjan has been explained as when it comes to family if he didn't go out if his to save Samar i will be surprised...

Blood relations are very thick, you don't find many good ppl being Vibhishan(if uv heard that saying)...Iv seen alot of ppl do soo much for der relatives, going out of der way without getting anything in return or worse facing the wrath as if just bcz dey are more intelligent and rich they are oblidged to help the ones who are not but you see them happily doing everything in their capacity and saying it's family...Ranjan i believe is one of those and will save Samar...

As far as II's not telling Ranjan is concerned, well if Chachu genuinely looked worried and she is not really aware of the dynamics she cld hv dropped a txt or maybe wen she was back in a more peaceful state of mind she cld hv told Ranjan...her not giving impotance to the news of Chachu' sons troubles is not something which wld be taken well in any regular family... Bhalla's are way to good, if it waa Shree or Subbu's home i think it wld hv been a bigger scene...

Ranjan feeling Chachu has the better Son and DIL...well they are stand wid him all the time, show love and concern on the face of it...his son doesn't second look...his DIL acted as if she doesn't care abt Ranjan's side of the family... He can't all the time keep thinking ooh its all my fault... He is bad means his son will be a bad son maybe not... I think its fair on Ranjans part to think hia kids don't care and Chachu ia lucky bcz well his Son atleast mostly doesn't care...

Also ur instant reactions are not ur complete reactions, feelings are so complicated they can't be bracketed into right and wrong they are just there, changing sometimes sometimes just stagnant, mostly a complexed web...I will like to believe those thots of Ranjan come frm that complexed web emotions...

Ps. I didn't post first thots...they were just wat an idiot and a few other things dat hv already been said...

I completely endorse your thoughts on this. I wrote a ramkatha of the same in different words . But they were my first thoughts this morning but could not go on to making a post as the morning got a little busy more than usual. In this story so far, at two occasions I have felt this" something is not sitting right here" feeling. We all know that all characters are flawed and the daughter in law is not an eternal do gooder.This is as close to realistic practical portrayal that this story claims to be and it is most times that.
II is flawed, reckless and innocent but there's a sensitivity that coats her personality.
In not mentioning by way of a casual, hey dad, did chachu reach out to you, he was trying to ...when she returned home ,she transgressed the boundaries of recklessness with which the character has been crafted.Its not like she is completely in dark abt the situation. She got to know about the murkiness in the deal , in their previous nights conversation.
They go on to fight about playlists and songs before hitting the bed, wouldn't it have been normal for her to have atleast a casual mention of it to her husband at least.
There was another instance where I felt this recklessness that I could not identify with.This was when the newly married couple being holed inside a room for close to three days after their marraige . It was an over exaggerated, sensational twist bordering on spite, if I may say so.I could not identify that sensation that it hoped to create.The story sets a base for all the emotions that you start identifying urself with , but these two instances left me a little confused with my understanding of their characters. And I don't even need to know why... It's a story and it's how the author takes it but as a reader, it left me a little confused.

Taara you asked if in flight crosswords were my fetish, you are partially right inflight mags are, but dont care for cross words

Hershey: you said they keep eating do they ever work out. I think we spoke about this before you joined the family, I tried to make them "normal" NOT Bollywood-ian or Amreekan

In my life and times in India, 99% of my high school class ate everything, college class ate everything no one was obese, may be the Delhi weather, maybe the bus travel, maybe the heat, may be the rigorous physical activity of trying to "make it" in the big city

I find the whole "weight loss" fitness binness a bit overdone... I agree for people with ailments and people over 200 lbs its real, but I didnt want II and R&B to hit the gym, have abs, wear the latest workout clothes... constantly watch what they eat, and worry about their figures...thats all I see and hear across television and the internet. II mouthing lines like "Oh I ate three rasmalai, tomorrow is salad day" "Oh I ate kesari tomorrow I will drink only water" Kahani mein bhi constantly weight ki chinta?

Nope!! Cant do it😃

I am so tired of it😭

99% of the India "I KNOW OF" doesnt... maybe my family and friends are blessed with being healthy and normal size I dont know... nobody is below size 8, but I dont hear any of us constantly having this conversation... may be Iyer food, may be being vegetarians... I dont know what...

I could write another story about a self conscious vain couple and how the love of working out brings them together😆

But this one is REAL and MIDDLE CLASS...
