Sudha: You should give him a little more thought beta!
Radhika: I have been thinking about him since we boarded the car ma, at Claridges! (LIAR!)
Sudha: Tum 4 ladke reject kar chuki ho abhi tak.......... we dont need to do this if you are NOT serious....
Radhika"I am NOT!" (angry) I am not even 25 yet....
Sudha: I had Rachit at 25!!
Radhika:Mujhe bacha nahi chahiye.... I just want to be single and have fun....

Her Dad is reading India today in his fave cane recliner by the balcony.... Mom and daughter are slugging it out.... Bhabhi and Gopi are fixing dinner
Rachit is in the study on the computer......
Sudha: Koi isko kuch kahega?
Radhika: I dont think so Ma. I am going back to Kanpur on Tuesday, it will be a series of trips, the first attempt was botched..... my career is not about promotions and the next big pay check and trips over seas MA! Its about MEANINGFUL work..... hamare family mein kisi ne NGO mein kabhi kaam nahi kiya to mujhe to koi respect milegi nahi
Sudha: Its NOT about your career this time Radhika!!!
Rad: (evasive) It is, aap meri shaadi kar deejiye, woh South East Asia ka head hai us ke saath mein main biz class mein ghoomti rahoongi. Log aur unke liye paani kabhi nahi laa paaoongi
Sudha: Tum ek baar bolna shuru hoti ho to, band nahi hoti
Bhabhi: Mom, aloo methi alag se nikal loon thodi si? Isko to mirchi pasand nahi?
Sudha: Waise bhi kidhar khaati hai yeh methi.... (disappointed)
Radhika: Its tastes like GHAAS....... DU mein lawns mein baithe baithe maine bahut ghaas khaayi hai (giggles) some stalks are juicy, methi mein koi swaad nahi hai.... ouhhhhh(mimics puking)
Sudha smacks her on her shoulder
Bhabhi smiles secretively.....
Sudha: Isko aaj raat ko khaana nahi milega.... jab tak yeh dhang se sochkar koi baat decide nahi karti
Sushil laughs out loud in the balcony..........
Rachit: achhha hai Ma, kitna khaati hai.... is mahiney aapke 2 ya 3 hazaar bache
Radhika makes a face..... her orange and pink chiffon skirt is tiered and huge..... she is wearing a orange spaghetti strap blouse and a purple scarf.......... it trails all over the living room floor, as she walks clutching her skirt folds...........
She leans on the waist length book case by a window........ and folds her arms across her chest..... exactly like some one did early this morning...........
Her Mom walks up to her and hisses "Are you back in touch with your boyfriend?"
Radhika: Kaun? (lost)
Sudha: Radhu mujhe bata do, kam se kam mujhe aur Papa ko embarrassment nahi hogi...........
Rad: Rachu Bhayya aur Bhabi ko karoon embarrass to chalega? (giggles)
Sudha: Was your thing with......... u know.... was it physical? (softly even though her husband was on the phone and her son was talking with his wife)
Radhika blushes deeply "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! AAP ? I cant answer such questions" (haughty, nose in the air)
Sudha yanks her arm, "Shhhhhhh! Shut up Radhooo"
Radhika: Ouch! MA!
Sudha:I need to know....
Radhika......... dreamy....... "No Ma! My new crush is just like me! We both dont have a clue!" savors the thought in her mind....as a smile escapes..........
