A Day with Bhalla's

Part 1

she woke up with the sound of her alarm, it was still 5:30 in the morning. But it was her daily routine to wake up at 5:30, collect the newspaper and milk, and then after having her bath, she starts with her daily routine in the kitchen. As it is an early month of winter she felt a bit lethargic to get up early in the morning, but as it is the whole family is dependent on her she as no other option but to wake up. So she woke up, switched off her alarm, and started her daily routine.

After getting ready, she started with the preparations of morning beverages, and there she heard her Mummyji shouting her lungs out for her " Oy Neelu kithe margayethi ," her mummy ji starts her day by shouting for her, first thing in the morning. she knows it was her mummyji love towards her " ji mummy ji apke chai ready hai," and i gave her her morning cup of tea ."oy Neelu bool gayi thi kay mai dieting shieting karahi hon, mere karela ki juice kithe hai, our han us main thoda chini bhi daldhe," mummy ji and her never-ending diets ,karela juice with sugar who drinks that, anyways I don't have patience in me to argue with her, only Ishitha bhabhi can handle her.

But where is Ishitha bhabhi normally it was she who greets her first thing in the morning , i guess she had a late night appointment, anyways it is Sunday and a bit of change in the daily routine is normal in Bhalla house, after preparing mummyji's karela ki juice with a dash of lemon and a pinch of salt in it, as advised by the Ishitha bhabhi , I handed it over to mummyji who is up with wearied poises of yoga , hope i can call it a yoga.

she had a sip of it and "Oy Neelu ye kay hai , is main se cheeni kithe gayi," she started with her morning rent "mummyji Ishitha bhabhi ne apke khana mani se cheeni mana kiyatha, apko sugar ko bhaimari hain na," her face immediately fell "goli maro is sugar ki bhimari ko," she stated in her dramatic way "abhi Ishitha yheha nahi hai na thoda cheeeni daldho na puttar". "Ary Thoshiji apke sehath keliye tho bol rahehai na , maan jao aur ye juice pilo," came papaji's reply who just entered the living room. " Neelu mere chai dhe," he ordered me and sat on the living room couch and started reading his morning newspaper , " app rehndhe Bhallaji ye karela ki juice mujse nahi hoga," mummyji stated rather sternly " Oy Neelu mejhe bhi ek cup chai dhe," "per mummyji apke dieting," I asked her "bhad main jai ye dieting shieting mujse nahi hoga ye sab," she whined like a small kid " par mummyji chai main bhi apko cheeni nahi milega" i warned her " han han pathahai muja par wo piki chai tho dhe skthe na muje," now she is desperate for her morning cup of tea just like her late night loaded cola desperation " ja puttar ise bhi chai dhe," papaji has put an end to this discussion now, and i went back to my kitchen to prepare their morning cup of tea

"IshiMaa, IshiMaa kaha ho app" oh their comes the angel of house IshiMaa ki ladli our little Ruhi " dhadi IshiMaa kaha hai muje utne kyu nai ayi ," she asked in a sleepy tone "aj sunday hai na puttar IshiMaa thak gayi hogi abhi thak uta nai, tum jaö jake mou dhoke aja thab thak Neelu didi thumara hot chocolate bhanadhenge ," her dhadhi explained her "par dhadhi abi tho already 8:30 hogaya IshiMaa aur papa ithani dher thak sothi nai hai," she asked the already known fact

"Good morning papa, Good morning mama, Good morning my princess," Raman wished his parents and daughter while descending the stairs "Good morning papa, IshiMaa kaha hai," his daughter wished him and asked for her mother. "Beta IshiMaa ki thbhiyath thoda kharab hai une sone dhe abhi," Raman informed his daughter about the ill health of her mother "kya hua puttar Ishitha ko" his mother asked in concern "kuch nai maa thoda sa indigestion hai teek ho jayega app chintha mathkaro ," he consoled his mother but Ruhi ran towards their room shouting "mai IshiMaa ko dhekar athi hoon," but Raman stopped her in the middle explaining her " nai beta IshiMaa ko disturb math kart wo so rahihai, tum jao jake Adhi bhaiya ko utoo bahuth late hogaya," he tried to divert his daughters attention towards her brother . Ruhi thought for a moment and replied "okay, main jake bhaiya ko utathi hoon," and she ran towards her brothers room.

"Maa, Romi aur Sarika ajhi wapas anewali thina ," he tried to ease the tension in the living room by changing the topic to his younger brother who has been to his honeymoon after their wedding 10days back, living their 6months old son Rohit under the care of their mother and Ishitha and Thoshi is more then happy to look after her new found grand son
