Yes my Marketing Prof. Has coined the term Ms.Seusstry for me- a combination of Dr.Seuss and an Indian name Shastry. So I thought I would make the name official with this post. This was my first attempt at writing something. So when I win that literary prize in the future (wink wink) maybe this will become famous too.
This is based on a very famous K soap
1.Naina-The matriarch, she wears her hair up in a funny bun.
2.Angad-son of Naina, a rock star, who cannot dance., the male lead.
3.Kripa-She lives in Angad’s outhouse, sings opposite him and is the female lead.
4.Mishti- Angad’s family friend, Naina wants Angad to marry Mishti as she is rich.
5.Dadi-Naina’s MIL,
6.Kartik-Older son of Naina, jealous of Angad’s fame.
7.Anitaah-Angad’s cousin
8.Harshini-Kripa’s childhood friend, who hates Kripa these days.
9.Prithvi-Mishti’s brother, in love with Kripa

The sun did not shine.
It was too dark to see.
So we sat in the outhouse.
The power was out, you see.
It was too dark to see.
So we sat in the outhouse.

I snuggled there with Kripa.
We kissed there, we two.
And I said, ”How I wish,
We had something to do!”
We kissed there, we two.
And I said, ”How I wish,
We had something to do!”
Too dark to dance a zig.
Too silent to break into a song.
So we snuggled in the outhouse.
And we did DING DONG!
So all we could do was to
DING!
DONG!
DING!
DONG!
And we liked it so much.
That we broke into a song.
DING!
DONG!
DING!
DONG!
And we liked it so much.
That we broke into a song.
KNOCK!
And then there was a knock!
How that knock made us go in a shock!
We looked!
Then we saw the BUN!
We LOOKED!
And we saw HER!
My mom NAINA IN HER BUN!
And she said to us,
“HOW DARE YOU TWO HAVE FUN!”
And then there was a knock!

And we saw HER!
My mom NAINA IN HER BUN!
And she said to us,
“HOW DARE YOU TWO HAVE FUN!”
“I know you were having fun.
With your sweet little honey.
But we can’t do that ,
As we need lots of MONEY!”
With your sweet little honey.
But we can’t do that ,
As we need lots of MONEY!”
“I know someone with lots of dough,”
Said my mom Naina the Hun.
“I know some new tricks”
Said Naina in her Bun.
“A lot of good tricks,
To get you this new honey,
This new honey of yours,
With lots of money.”
Said my mom Naina the Hun.
“I know some new tricks”

“A lot of good tricks,
To get you this new honey,

Then Kripa and I,
Did not know what to do.
Our Dadi was out of town.
Bothered by Naina’s hairdo.

Our Dadi was out of town.
Bothered by Naina’s hairdo.
But my sis Aaliyah said “No! No!
Make that Naina Masi go!
Tell that Naina in the Bun,
You do not want any dough!
She should not be here,
In your sweet little mush room.
She should not be here,
When your romance is in full bloom!”

When your romance is in full bloom!”
“Now! Now! Have no fear.
Have no fear!” said Naina.
“My tricks are not bad.
I will not turn you into a Maina.
Why, we can have.
Lots of dough, if you chose.
With a game that I call,
“The Trapping of Mishti Bose.”
Have no fear!” said Naina.

“This will not work at all!
“Trapping of Mishti Bose!” said my cousin,
“Do you wish to bring our downfall?”
“This will not work at all!
“Trapping of Mishti Bose!” said my cousin,
“Do you wish to bring our downfall?”
“Have no fear,” said my Mom.
“I will not let the plan fail.
I will set Angad as a bait,
To trap that big Mishti whale.”
“I will not let the plan fail.
I will set Angad as a bait,

“Me as a BAIT!” said I,
“This is no fun at all.”
“When I have Kripa with me,
Why do I need Mishti the boar, after all.”
“This is no fun at all.”
“When I have Kripa with me,
Why do I need Mishti the boar, after all.”
“How can you say that?” said Mom,
“Mishti is not a boar,
“How can you not marry her?
She has agreed to pay 45 crores.”
“Mishti is not a boar,
“How can you not marry her?
She has agreed to pay 45 crores.”
“WOW, 45 CRORES!” said I,
“That’s a lot of dough!
But can you tell me,
Why so much money do I owe?”
“That’s a lot of dough!
But can you tell me,
Why so much money do I owe?”
“That’s a long story”
Said Naina in her Bun.
“When you were having fun,
With your sweet little honey.
Boski came and sued us,
For all this money.”
Said Naina in her Bun.
“When you were having fun,

“I have no fear,” thought my mom,
“I have some tricks of my own.
I will not let this Kripa,
This honey of yours, bring us down.
As I stand in my Satrangi living room.
With this MMS on my phone.
I have a plan now.
To bring Kripa down.”

“Look at me now!” said Naina the Hun,
“With this trick of emotional blackmail.
I can drag my son to Goa.
And he will follow me like a tail.”
“With this trick of emotional blackmail.
I can drag my son to Goa.
And he will follow me like a tail.”
But that is not all!
Oh, no.
That is not all…
“Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me now!
I can still hook up Angad and Mishti,
Without Angad finding out anyhow.
Oh, no.
That is not all…
“Look at me!
Look at me!

“I should strike when the iron is hot.
And sweet talk Mishti in tying the knot
I can send Mishti to Goa and Lukhnow.
To accompany Angad who is practicing Twae-kwan-do.
I will trap Angad into marrying Mishti the Mose(In Bengali means buffalo).
So that he can stop tasting mangoes from Kripa’s nose.”

“I can pretend to faint.
For our big financial loss.
I can make my son guilty,
To show him who is the boss.”

“I can drag him to the Bose House.

And if he wants to bring Kripa along,

This is what my mom planned,
For her big financial gain.
But she has not anticipated,
That her plan would go down the drain.

Mishti was in Goa with us,
To supervise our video shoot, you see.
She was in for a surprise,
When see saw me necking Kripa by the sea.

She did not like it,

Kripa and I were too busy,

But Mishti was hatching plans to be Mrs.Angad Khanna,
She did not want her plans to fail.
She started thinking along the lines,
Of Naina in the Bun, her would be M-I-L.

She knew I was sick,
And had to get back home at the earliest.

So that she could break our love nest.

She charged into Khanna House,
All fuming and hot.
She said to my Mom, “Do I like this?

“Oh, I like what I hear,

Said the Naina in the Bun

And then she went in.
Glaring at her henpecked spouse.
My mom Naina in the Bun
Came back with the Fox and the Mouse. (Kartik and Harshini)

They were followed by the fat gorilla,
That Anitaah- the crook.
“Now look at this trick,”
Said my mom, ”Take a look!”

“Now look at this trick,”

Then she sat down,
On her parrot green couch.
To match her parrot green sari.
And her parrot green blouse.

She looked at everyone
With her heavily made up eyes.

That fat chimp is very shrewd,
A lot of smart ideas she knows,
Though she may look like a fashion faux pas,
Trying to fit her size 20 body into size 4 clothes.

After all, he is my own design.

Of our cute enemy in the outhouse.

She is the big traitor,

So Mishti the whale was not sure,
If she should shake hands with these three.
She wanted her Angad back.
After all, SHE WAS MISHTI BOSE, you see.
If she should shake hands with these three.
She wanted her Angad back.
After all, SHE WAS MISHTI BOSE, you see.
She shook hands with the trio,
But her bro Prithvi said “No! No!
I can’t let the terrible trio hurt my darling,
Don’t join hands with them! Make them go!
But her bro Prithvi said “No! No!
I can’t let the terrible trio hurt my darling,
Don’t join hands with them! Make them go!
“You should not be in cahoots with them,
When your brother is not!
Even though Kripa is not in love with me!
Don’t know why she finds Angad so hot”
When your brother is not!
Even though Kripa is not in love with me!
Don’t know why she finds Angad so hot”
“ I too have muscles like him,
And I am also a gana gane wala,
Though Angad may be a rockstar,
He still needs the voice of Kunal Ganjawala!”
And I am also a gana gane wala,
Though Angad may be a rockstar,
He still needs the voice of Kunal Ganjawala!”
“Have no fear, big bro,”
Said the big Mishti Whale.
“When Angad ditches Kripa,
On your shoulders she will wail!
Let us use this terrible trio,
I know they are smart,
And devious and cunning,
They will help us get back our sweethearts.”
Said the big Mishti Whale.
“When Angad ditches Kripa,
On your shoulders she will wail!
Let us use this terrible trio,
I know they are smart,
And devious and cunning,

So the trio started their game
Of ruining our love story.
They sent the mouse to Kripa.
To narrate her fake sob story.
Of ruining our love story.
They sent the mouse to Kripa.
To narrate her fake sob story.
Said the mouse “I was sad and gloomy
And I had my own doubts,
On why Prithvi chose you.
Over my pretty snout.
And I had my own doubts,
On why Prithvi chose you.
Over my pretty snout.
So I looked for you in Khanna House.
And cried on the shoulders of the foxy chap.
But somehow we ended up doing DING DONG,
While someone clicked our snaps.
And cried on the shoulders of the foxy chap.

Now this someone is blackmailing me
To shed twenty five lakhs,
Oh from where will I get that money!
Oh I want those pictures back!”
To shed twenty five lakhs,
Oh from where will I get that money!

As you know my darling Kripa,
She would protect her friend,
“I can help you”, said she,
“But I don’t have that money to lend”
She would protect her friend,
“I can help you”, said she,
“But I don’t have that money to lend”
“Let us call the foxy chap,
And ask him for the money,

Don’t you worry, dear Harshini”
And ask him for the money,
We will get you out of this soup

Thus my Mom started the game
After all, She was an EVIL THINKER
And my darling fell for it.
All hook line and sinker.
After all, She was an EVIL THINKER

So she said to the sneaky fox
“How dare you do DING DONG?
Without falling in love,
Don’t you know its just wrong”
“How dare you do DING DONG?
Without falling in love,
Don’t you know its just wrong”
The Fox gave her a smirk,
And agreed to give her the dough
And while he was signing the check,
Our Chimp taped the video
And agreed to give her the dough
And while he was signing the check,
Our Chimp taped the video
And what happened next,
If you would like to find out
Any K soap on the horizon
Is all you have to check out.
