Damn Good Dialogues !!
It is still confessional time in the Haveli.. … A disbelieving Sajjan Singh wonders whether Amma has had a heat stroke and got her brain fried ..wants to know whether he should summon a doc..wants to know how did love sprout so suddenly, how come she is handing the responsibilities of the house to Pratigya..Confesses that all this thought process is beyond him ** Haven’t u heard the adage that one can trace out the trail of the snake but can never trace out the thought patterns of a woman ** Amma softly cries out that You can mock me .. But I am a human too ..and Human’s do err..I could not understand u, Pratigya ..What Can I do ?? I am not educated ..have never gone out..do not know the world affairs ..but let me tell you , It is our lucky fortune that you came into this house ..and changed the men of this house …. Pratigya is moved to tears, and tears are coursing through her cheeks like rivulets ** Aakhir Nainaji ki Beti hai, unki izzat tho rakhni padegi na ** A shocked Shakthi blurts out wanting to know whether Amma has lost all her marbles, demands to know what Pratigya has done …then does a Sherlock Holmes and solves the mystery of “Love Pratigya Campaign” by exclaiming that Pratigya has fed them some Magic Potion.. ** Agar aisa Baat hai, tho Kesar dunk this brute inside the potion tankard ** Sajjan Singh gives a disgusted look… Krishna sharply intercepts Shakthi’s idiotic ramblings replies saying that whatever is happening is happening is unfolding right in front of our eyes, tells Pratigya to take the keys..But the protocol conscious Pratigya refuses and says she only wants their blessing’s …Krishna goes to Amma and hesitantly confesses that He himself is finding it hard to believe , pleads with Amma to repeat again ** Yeh kya Cricket match hai, Jo Highlights dikha de , Bhavnavon ko Samajh ** Amma smiles at him..Krishna tells Pratigya to take the keys..But the protocol conscious Pratigya refuses and says she only wants their blessing’s and that Amma has the rights over the keys . Amma is thunderstruck by the lack of greed in Pratigya
Amma tells Krishna to stand by Pratigya, says that Pratigya is that rare gem whose contact with even an iron will turn it into gold ..and Pratigya has indeed turned Krishna into gold ** Tanthya decides to kidnap Pratigya**.. Amma hugs them both and seeks their forgiveness and Blesses them ..Krishna tenderly says ” Amma”..Ghanti dadi watches with a smile, Sajjan Singh is puzzled Kesar looks happy
GROUCHY CORNER
The saxena’s are huddled around the Dining table ..Looking at the food laid on the table dismally ** All have suffered through Nainaji’s Cooking hence are wary of it **..Shyamu invites Nainaji to break bread, Nainaji shies away..Aarushi says that u are worried about Komal and Adarsh aren’t you..Right then Adarsh wanders in , Nainaji eyes falls on him and she invites him for Dinner ..Adarsh refuses saying he already had his dinner outside and he cannot eat at home since his stronger half is not home..Adarsh proceeds towards his room, when Aarushi stomps after him calling out Adarsh and demanding to know what was the need to speak so rudely to their Mother , who sheds water at the drop of a hat …She tells him that such a thing could even have been refused lovingly..what was the need to break her heart ** Her heart breaks every few seconds and glues back too **..Adarsh has had enough ..ticks off Aarushi for interfering, informs her that he did not break Nainaji’s heart and was only following Shyamu’s ordinance by not having food with them . A gloomy silence hanging over the dining table ..and right on cue…nainaji begins to rain..while Shyamu consoles her…
NIGHT AT HAVELI
Pratigya is as usual busy in investigating the mythical unicorn in the closet ..when Krishna comes from behind and just lifts her up declaring that he is the happiest man in the world today, He considers himself to be the luckiest one too , Not to be outdone, Pratigya replies that she too is the luckiest woman i the world , Krishna stood by her at every corner ..But Pratigya is curious to know why Krishna is so happy today ..Krishna replies , that you have changed everyone, first Sajjan Singh, then Amma..in fact Pratigya has turned this house into a home ..while it was previously a station with everyone yelling … Krishna also appreciates the fact that Pratigya returned the keys without getting greedy..says that Pratigya is the reincarnation of Goddess Saraswati..Pratigya smilingly declines this assertion, replies that with requisite time any logical person would have done just the same..Krishna opens his mouth ..which is promptly covered by Pratigya, who orders him not to say anything anymore ..Krishna states that there are many ways to shut one’s mouth , says will teach her..Pratigya laughingly calls out Krishna …Krishna retorts that he is doing with her only and is not doing anything bad..Pratigya laughingly escapes
Sajjan Singh walks into the bedroom, which is already occupied by His bitter half Amma ..Sajjan Singh studies a deeply thoughtful Amma ** Like a herpetologist watching fascinated a particularly subdued Black mamba ** ..cautiously sits on the bed ..Sajjan Singh opens the conversational gambit..Sajjan Singh states that Amma never ever tells the truth, and wants to know the true intentions of handing over the Keys to Pratigya”’Sajjan Singh wants to know whether Amma has become haunted with some disturbing thoughts or planning some new moves ..Amma replies that how can you say that..I do speak truth …but you never believed it… I agree that I was cruel to Pratigya ..but I do know the difference between good and bad..have seen her doing things for this house …I am a Mother too..I am not stone hearted… I agree that I was blinded in hatred..but now the mist has cleared ..have to appreciate Pratigya for her achievement, she has changed a stubborn man like Krishna …tell me one thing..ur Mom and Kesar too love Pratigya..u don’t doubt them..but u r suspicious of my motives..why is such a hoopla made of handing over the keys..I handed it after realizing that she is honest, principled knows right n wrong..so gave wht’s the big deal … Sajjan Singh retorts that ..Ok even I were to accept that ur sanity has returned …let me tell you , Amma ..that if you have understood then it means everyone have understood…stay in harmony and unity … Have accepted the change in you …Amma gets up saying that she will get his milk for him..sajjan Singh dryily replies that he is not a snake to drink milk..and laughs ..
In THE LIVING ROOM
Kesmma and Shakthi are in a flurried discussion..Shakthi is surprised at Amma’s volte face..is stunned that Amma was all ready to hand over the keys to Pratigya..Shakthi continues that if Amma and Pratigya unite ..then his staying on will get difficult..says that Pratigya will make his life miserable…Kesmma assures Shakthi that Amma is playing a clever game ..all that she is doing drama ..Kesmma is sure that Amma is playing some deep game , says that Amma is very sharp..Shakthi replies that Amma is a fool ..does not know what she is doing…Shakthi says it would have been utterly humiliating had he been forced to take the money he earned from Pratigya’s hand…Just then Kesmma spots Amma coming to the kitchen …Kesmma expresses the thought that they should probe Amma’s mind..and step towards the kitchen.
Amma is pouring the milk into the glass when Kesmma comes in ..and Shakthi hides outside overhearing the conversation..Kesmma comes in and Praises Amma’s tactics, praises Amma’s cleverness and says that she has to learn many things from Amma ..and wants to know what is the actual motive behind it ?? Amma gives a frosty look at Kesmma , haughtily orders her to shut the Bull S***..Amma coldly demands to know whether Kesmma considers everyone to be the puppet of evil or clever and cunning manipulators like Kesmma … Amma says that she was not pretending… informs Kesmma that Only Pratigya has the capability to take the reins of this house cos there are lots of enemies who are bent on destroying the house ..Amma scornfully tells Kesmma ..that Not all people are like Kesmma who are hell bent on destroying the house with their games ..tells her to stop spreading such disgusting tricks in the house …. Amma further says that Kesmma has come as a guest to her daughter’s house ..tells her to behave like a guest and stay within her limits or she may find herself thoroughly insulted …Amma stalks off with her head held high…while the Bad Apples Kesmma and Shakthi exchange glances ..
