choosing between the devil and the deep sea.

 choosing between the devil and the deep sea.

__________________________________

Diwali brings the family together, even for a short duration.

As it always happens in my family, whenever my husband has free time, he will start fault-finding/ advising me on how to grow plants, put lights on, cook, or make other arrangements. It exasperates me, so I shoot back, saying I don't take suggestions from guests. Be here to help me every day; don't be my consultant; be my partner.

One leads to the other, and we have a small argument; hence, we avoid each other for a few hours.

While driving to the nearest pandal to offer puja,

The daughter jumps in with her favourite dialogue; please get divorced. It is better than avoiding each other. Don't worry about me. I will go to college next year, and for vacation, I will have the option to visit two homes. Maybe a kinder stepfather and stepmother will be indulgent and give me special attention.

So I am perfectly ok with it.

Think about how you will divide Saturn and Leo; Saturn should go with Mom and Leo with Dad.

But Dad, you should marry a lady who is friendly to dogs. If she cannot love our pets, I will never come home.

The son jumps in to give his 2 cents.

Mom, whoever you marry, I need to watch him for a couple of days.

I should know what he drinks, how he drinks, where, and how much he drinks. If he fails the test, you have to reject him. We can judge a person altogether at the bar table. One without bar table manners will be an outcast in my eyes. So get the right guy home. While dating him, be sure to come home before 11 pm. If you are not home on time, I will be stressed out in the hostel. Also, don't commit in a hurry; take your time!

The daughter jumped in once again. Bhaiyya, one moment she is fighting, the next moment she is force-feeding him pomegranate juice, buying him shoes and shirts, and again the next day, she fights with him. I cannot understand this lady and her mood swings.

Bhaiyya said it happens preesha women become cranky when they grow old!

I said, but why should we divorce?

Yes, we argue, and sometimes we fight and avoid one another for a week; that is the maximum we can do without talking to each other.

But I have started calling them disagreements and debates, not fights. When we have to make investments, we try to knock sense into each other's heads for the best possible outcome.

I asked my son. You had a paperback in exams; did you give up MBBS?

I turned to my daughter and asked, you lost in swimming competitions in Mumbai? Did you give up swimming?

But you want us to get divorced because we have failed to conclude a specific topic? While trying to educate each other in various matters, we bang our heads as it is not easy to teach a grownup man or a woman. We are evolving as a couple and far richer in our understanding of this world, finances, and interpersonal relations. We help each other learn new things every day. We are like friends, like lovers, husband and wife. We are not formal; we are not putting up with each other for reasons other than love.

You should thank god for your good fortune that we are not a couple for worldly gains.

We don't live with each other out of compulsion. It would help if you watched couples who are not like us. Living in a house where love is only for public display would be painful. This saga of love, fights, disagreements, and agreements will continue forever.

We will divorce each other the day I don't feel pain in his hunger, helplessness, stress, and suffering.

If we start talking about divorce for every minor disagreement, then, believe me, you guys wouldn't have led this happy life.

The husband, on the return journey, inquisitively asked the son

Rahula, do I have bar-table manners?

When I go out to start dating another lady after my divorce, her son may judge me.

TO which son replied, don't worry, Dad, You have zero bar manners, but I will teach you all the know-how to impress not just the evil witchy stepmom but her entire family.

The daughter replies, My gut feeling is stepmom will be a witch with straight poker hair, smoky eyes and red lipstick; the manipulative, conniving woman will not spare any trick in the book to separate dad from us. Dad, she will marry you for your wealth and then kill you to inherit it all. She will make you sign papers before poisoning your drink.

He said, now, tell me, should I stick to this cranky ageing lady with her menopausal mood swings, or should I go for an evil witchy stepmother. She replied, whatever suits you, Dad, make wise choices. Don't get trapped. This existing one, too, isn't easy either.

So it all boils down to choosing between the devil and the deep sea.

We looked into each other's eyes to convey a billion emotions. That glance sums up love for me, piercing through every cell of the body, touching the soul.

That glance is a reason enough to put up with him till death does us apart!

Sameer Wankhede and Virat kohli- Hero or zero ?

 Sameer Wankhede and Virat kohli- Hero or zero ?

_______________________________________________

What Sameer Wankhede did to Aryan Khan is right or wrong will be known after the NCB files the charge sheet. There may be a watertight case, or, as alleged, Mr Wankhede does it just to remain in the limelight.

BUT

What nawab Mallik is doing to Sameer Wankhede and his family is not correct.

Shahrukh Khan had a Hindu wedding; does it make him a Hindu?

What is surprising is a section of people are siding with Aryan khan because he is half Muslim.

But the same section of people does not support Sameer Wankhede, who is also half Muslim.

Why?

Where are the people who spearhead the minority rights campaign?

No organisation is voicing their concern for a Dalits son.

Rohit Vemula garnered a lot of support for his Dalit antecedents. There was a nationwide uproar, and rightly so.

All those who made allegations on NCB for targeting a Muslim superstars son are quiet when a Dalit father and Muslim mothers son is facing the heat.

Duality?

The liberal brigade(LB) dislikes one trying to fight the drug menace because he is perceived as a BJP man, and MVA is fighting the BJP.

Once upon a time, the LB hated SHIV SENA when it was with BJP.

My gut feeling is Sameer Wankhede refused to do vasooli from Bollywood for the MVA government, hence the collective hatred for him.

Money is the biggest dharma; every ideology and doctrine fades near it.

The one accused of doing drugs garners all the support because the accused's father is perceived to be against the BJP.

So it all boils down to hating BJP, nothing to do with ideology because shiv sena is a branch of the same ideology.

People(Liberal Brigade) who survived on the alms of congress lived a feudal lifestyle and received favours at the drop of a hat are working hard in tandem with the Gandhi family to bring back those good old days.

Congress lived in fear of RSS forever; the fears envisaged by Nehru are now seeing the light of the day.

It is a power tussle between 2 giant parties fighting for authority; All The vested interests take one of the sides for their agendas, favours and accomplishments.

It is a plain business for the BJP and Congress and their supporters, but for us, Janata, it is emotions.

________________

I was jaw dropped to see the same people from the Liberal brigade who trolled Anushka and Virat when they filmed a rich guy littering(On the high of Modi's swach Bharat Abhiyan) the street is now standing in Virat Kohli's support.

He is being liked now because of his anti crackers statement for Diwali celebrations.

Anushka and Virat were also made fun of when they met PM Modi and invited him to their wedding reception. They were labelled and branded bhaktas or right-wing. Sudden newfound love for Kohli emerged when he has started showing signs of distancing himself from Hindu festivals/sentiments.

The entire country is trolling Virat for his poor performance in cricket and fantastic acting skills in advertisements. The trolling has nothing to do with his crackers statement. If he won the match against Pakistan, maybe some Indian Hindus would have given up crackers.

I grew up watching cricket; every cricket fan is a fanatic, and every cricketer has faced trolls since time immemorial. Cricket itself is a religion; the player should worship cricket; otherwise, he is sent to gallows by fans irrespective of his faith.

I never saw a captain coming out and abusing fans. The credit goes only to Virat Kohli.

Dear Virat Kohli, you are liked, adored, admired and respected because of your cricketing skills, and nothing else matters. Be loyal to the religion of cricket to have followers. Rest the impact of your opinions on religion, nationality, brands etc., will be directly proportional to the level of your performance as a cricketer.

Don't get carried away by the love of LB; they will change their opinions once you will do a namaste to any godman. You will get demoted to a bhakta.

_________

The liberal brigade changes its discourse with every passing day. When they say they are speaking in support of a Dalit, minority or women's rights, It becomes clear to people listening to them that they are lying.

They are catering to their biases, personal vendettas and the favours received+anticipated. No one in the real world is worried about the other person; the sympathy wave and the favourable atmosphere can change overnight if the right goodies reach the liberal brigade on time.

___________

I like the right-wing (of all the religions) more than the pseudo-secular gang because the right is honest in wearing the heart on their sleeve.

No hidden agendas and motives. Their mission, vision are out in the open. They speak what they mean and do what they preach.

It is easy trusting and doing business with them than the chameleons changing colours. They foolishly and blindly fight for the rights of their creator.

They are not cunning but stupid.

Closing with sameer wankhede

May be Growing up, he watched a lot of Bollywood, and the super cop characters left an impression on his mind, and he tried to enact them in real life. We can say that maybe it is one of the reasons he married a movie star. He is now playing the role of an Honest officer out on a mission to clean the system. We all draw our inspiration from various characters and personalities and undeniably many times from Bollywood too. Like Swadesh's, Mohan Bhargava made a handful of NRIs return to their motherland. So our Sameer Saab is the perceived Hero of the movie, drug lords supported by Nawab Mallik real mafia, and Aryan khan, a minor side character. Shahrukh Khan and Aryan khan has accepted the small role and pleasantly underplayed it. Nawab Saab is doing overaction; I hope the Hero (if he is the Hero) will make it a befitting climax.

The innocent Indian who grew up watching Bollywood and cricket will worship an evil destroying Hero and a triumphant captain.
