A really very funny update. Tried to write in Hindi... hope you like it. Do let me know in the comments... and tell me if you want more comedy stories like this or emotional or any other one.

Story starts.....

### Anuj's Hilarious Matrimonial Mix-Up

Anuj was hard at work in his study, the soft hum of the ceiling fan providing a comforting background noise as he typed away on his laptop. The house was quiet except for the occasional giggle that emanated from the living room, where his two-year-old daughter, Anika, was playing with her toys. A delightful blend of innocence and mischief, Anika was the light of Anuj and Anupama's lives, and her laughter filled the air like music.

While Anuj focused on his work, he was blissfully unaware of what mischief Anika was about to embark on. After a while, Anika, in her curious toddler way, wandered into Anuj's study. She spotted Anuj's phone resting on the table. Anuj had left it unlocked, and Anika's little fingers were just the right size to press the buttons.

### The Call to "Shaadi Suvidha"

With a giggle, Anika grabbed the phone and randomly dialed a number. It just so happened to be the number of a Gujarati matrimonial company called "Shaadi Suvidha" (Wedding Convenience).

**Anika:** "Hiiiii! Hello! Main Anika bol rahi hoon!"
*Hi! Hello! This is Anika speaking!*

**Matrimonial Lady:** "Hello! Shaadi Suvidha mein aapka swagat hai! Aapka naam kya hai?"
*Hello! Welcome to Shaadi Suvidha! What is your name?*

**Anika:** "Anika! Mujhe baby chahiye!"
*Anika! I want a baby!*

**Matrimonial Lady:** "Oh, kya aapke liye koi shaadi ki baat karne chahte hain?"
*Oh, are you looking to talk about a wedding?*

**Anika:** "Haan! Mummy aur Papa ki shaadi hoti hai, mujhe bhi chahiye!"
*Yes! Mom and Dad are getting married, I want one too!*

**Matrimonial Lady:** "Aapko kis tarah ka partner chahiye? Kya aap chhote ya bade chahte hain?"
*What kind of partner do you want? Do you want a small one or a big one?*

**Anika:** "Mujhe bada! Mummy ka baby bada hai!"
*I want a big one! Mom's baby is big!*

Anuj, hearing the commotion, looked up from his laptop. His heart sank and then soared with laughter as he realized what was happening. He dashed toward the living room, but by the time he reached Anika, the call had already dropped.

### The Disconnection

Anuj rushed into the room, his face a mix of panic and amusement.

**Anuj:** "Anika! Kya kar rahi ho tum?"
*Anika! What are you doing?*

But as he reached for the phone, Anika giggled and tossed it aside, the call disconnecting with a soft beep.

**Anika:** "Papa, mujhe shaadi karni hai!"
*Papa, I want to get married!*

Anuj burst out laughing, shaking his head in disbelief.

**Anuj:** "Tumhe shaadi ki kya zaroorat hai? Tum sirf do saal ki ho!"
*Why do you need to get married? You are only two years old!*

### The Aftermath

After a few minutes, Anuj's phone rang again. This time, it was the same matrimonial company calling back. Curious, he picked it up.

**Anuj:** "Hello?"
*Hello?*

**Matrimonial Lady:** "Namaste, aap Shaadi Suvidha se baat kar rahe hain! Kya aapne hamare last call ka jawab diya?"
*Hello, you are speaking with Shaadi Suvidha! Did you respond to our last call?*
