Dear Honourable Ladies,
God made it so that men and women can do the same things, even if it is in different ways. Women can contribute as much as men AND should contribute as much as men.
Hence, with Suryakant missing and the men "out there looking for him", you are wasting your time and mental/physical resources by PARKING YOURSELF ON THE SOFA, CRYING HYSTERICALLY, MAKING EACH OTHER CRY, AND CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS SO NEGATIVE AND USELESS THAT IT CAN INDUCE EARLY LABOR. DON'T CRY FOR ME, ARGEN...OOPS, GARODIA!!! Except Ba and new mother Phulki, you should walk over to the phone and make some calls--we've seen you do it before. Now that you know about the accident site, go search that area.
Do not blame Karan for the same thing OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. This is why men think the one thing women can do best is WHINE. This is the reason the men wanted you to sit at home and not with them.
SAVITRI- We know how deeply you love Suryakant and how lost and helpless you feel. You're thinking and preparing for the worst. You've broken down crying. NOW, pick yourself up and force yourself to be strong for your children, for Suryakant, and for the family. If I have to see you one more time crying and COLLAPSING to the floor, I will be forced into thinking you are just mush with no backbone, no sense, what WOMEN were thought of as once.
SARASWATI- You've shown yourself to be the most mature of the bunch by a MILE! Stay strong. You have everyone's best wishes.
DURGA AND GAURI - You are young and fit. Get the hell out of your house holding your hands to your face. Look for your father.
MENKA- Although you have changed a lot, apply your natural talents -- cunning, planning, ambition--to find your husband too! Don't underestimate yourself now--you never did before.
And saving the best for last, JHANSI KI RANI. You are smart, apply your smarts. Focus on the objectives: Bringing your father for whom you did no favors in this, back home and doing whatever possible to help with Saraswati. I IMPLORE--SIMPLY BEG YOU--to prove you are a true JHANSI KI RANI still. That would entail thinking, having courage and purpose, and doing something! Please do not admonish Karan about something he knows is true. Hold him accountable but don't humiliate and hurt him. He is trying to find your father and working with the police. YOU are not. You once told him, "I and the family don't need your help". THE HELL you do! Sitting in your sari (albeit quite lovely. Red is my personal favorite) on the sofa at home does not make a JHANSI KI RANI, it makes a mentally and physically lazy maharani. Some of us like how Karan is changing--stop being cruel. This is why some men think women are ineffectual, self-centered, and openly and endlessly hostile "no winning with them". Prove to them and us that you can grow up and live up to your name.
Finally, for all you Garodia ladies and particularly Laxmi, placing conditions on men and repeatedly blaming them for things they know, is not a good thing. Men have generally good memories, they know, though sometimes they don't want to know. It's not going to get you what you want, e.g. respect, your way, diamond earrings or other tokens of affections. Muster up the strength you have to get past it. Also, WE DO NOT THROW MANGALSUTRAS, LADIES. EVER. NO MATTER HOW MUCH OUR HUSBANDS PISS US OFF. UNLESS OF COURSE THE DIVORCE HAS BEEN FINALIZED--at which time you can have it reset. IF YOU'RE PISSED OFF AT YOUR HUSBAND, like Karan, FOR ALL THE EVIL THINGS HE'S DONE AND IS NOW REPENTING AND SETTING RIGHT, don't nag or complain "it's your fault"..."I blame you for this because Event A led to Event B, but also Event C which is something you did not do, is also your fault". I'm not married to you, but I'm beginning to feel like you're a nag! Other women have found other methods to be effective: don't cook that night, stay out late, stay at your parent's place, vent to your best friend before you talk about it with your husband, work it out with your husbands. Relationships that you want to keep take work, not high-in-sky flying mangalsutras. What will you throw when you're REALLY PISSED? Your engagement ring? Wedding ring? (BTW, are they insured?)
Overall, ladies, this is what has happended. It is what it is. Work constructively to help solve the issues, not make them worse.
Best wishes,
Your ever-loyal fans and fellow women
