Synopsis: We saw are seeing JK's character sketch in detail; the bond he shares with his family and now we move into more detailing...

Health is Wealth, isn't it!

Good manners is the key of humanity. JK believed in maintaining his physic. He was humble and well -mannered but emotional in nature. Roshini's and Aki's Papa, Jk was simply a sweetheart.

Papa was done with his healthy meal. Like every day ritual, he headed towards the kitchen sink to wash his dark blue bowl. He often said eating in dark shaded utensils allow one to stay Slim. He was an avid reader and reading about health and fitness was his passion

Ravi, his younger brother, often took delight in pulling his elder brother's legs, when he came out with such theories. People close to Papa often wondered, if he was a half doctor. If you are facing problems with your weight, he will give you the best tips. After consulting him, you would love having turmeric tea, fenugreek seeds, cumming and fennel tea; Alovera and Amala juice and the list is never ending. Infact, he helped Sona, Ravi's wife to loose her excess weight,without any gym training or dieting.

He could easily make out the mood swings woman face, during their so called those days. If he see a woman munching a chocolate, he would advice to replace chocolates with carrot, apple, pomegranate, beet or something that satisfies your sweet tooth. He also can help you with Grandma remedies (Dadima Ka Nuska) for cold, cough, body pain etc.
He with his magical spell was successful in instilling his terrifying principles in Aki and Rosh. He taught them, wherever they go, may be to a friend's house or to a relative's home for lunch / dinner, one must show basic table manners. After finishing the meal, one must pick up the plates, bowls or spoons, used for eating and wash it, without troubling the host. He was a hardcore self made independent man and no-one dared to play with his discipline, though Ravi was an exceptional case. His stare was the most scariest thing for Rosh. Aki was least bothered and had a magical knack to deal with him. If, he has done something wrong, he would make an innocent face. He would tightly hug Papa and chant, "I Love You." Papa would then swallow his anger and pat his back. If Papa ever punished him, he cried and created ruckus out of it.

Rosh on the other hand would read here Papa jaan's eyes. She could make out if he is sad, happy, tensed, bored or unwell. His sneeze and cough would disturb her and she could not imagine her world without him. Even if he had a small fever, her weird nightmare haunted her. If he did not wake up with a shake, she would start sobbing. Papa would playfully hold his breath and took pleasure, when she sobbed. He would enjoy the drama; hold her and bring her closer to his heart and whisper :

Meri Maa, Mein Zinda Hu (Relax, l am alive). Ravi on the other hand will say Maara Nahi Tu (Did u not die (Muchad, kukad, kadoos, Criminal, Zalim) , calling weird names that came to his mind.In his young days,Papa loved moustache for flaunting a matured look. Now, he wants to look young and he looks more handsome without one; yet Ravi unconsciously loves to call him Muchad, evoking laughter in others.

JK was washing his hands and he was mischievous. He started splashing water on Rosh's face and she playfully wiped her face on his white T-shirt. There broke a Conversation between the father and daughter duo:

Papa : You are making my clothes dirty, baby.

Rosh: Look, who is talking?

Papa with a mischievous smile :Please check if our both monkeys have reached safely and chalo, you go to bed.

Rosh: Papa, you too don't sit working for long time. I will be coming for the inspection.

Papa : Baby, I am scared.

Rosh hugged him and kissed him on his forehead and he too kissed on her cheeks. They say good night. Rosh like everyday reminds him to take his tablets for migraine, and his daily dose of turmeric milk; already kept ready in a thermos in his room, before retiring to bed. Papa playfully nods and both move towards their respective rooms.
