I am sitting with daadi in her room giving her medicine. Randhir is in my room. From the time he broke that news my mind has gone crazy. It's like I am seeing him in a whole new light.

When I was cooking I forgot to add salt because my mind was occupied by him. When we all had dinner I couldn't help and I was just staring at him like a lovestruck fool while he and daadi were busy chatting. He really is handsome. Very handsome. Ok you need to stop this Sanyukta or you will just go mad.

"Sanyu" daadi interrupts my thoughts. "Ha daadi" I say blinking. "2-3 baar aawaz di.. kaha khoyi hai? Jab se aaye hai ghar kuch alag lag rahi hai" she asks with concern. Is it that obvious?

"Kuch nahi daadi. Bahot kuch ho raha hai life me.. vohi soch rahi thi" I say looking down. She doesn't speak up and I look at her. She is eyeing me curiously.

"Thik hai mat bataa. Ab mujhse kyu kuch share karegi tu toh ab badi ho gayi" she says. Daadi and her dramatic ways to get things out of me. This trick of her never fails. She is the closest person I have. Ofcourse she should know. Upar se she has so much more knowledge about things. She can help me and tell me if this is really love.

I keep my head on her lap and close my eyes. This is my happy place. "Daadi. Jab kisi se pyar hota hota hai toh kaise pata chalta hai.. I mean um.. how do you know he is the one?" I ask.

"Pyaar.. mujhe aaj kal ke bachho ka pata nahi lekin humare zamaane me, pyaar hota tha shadi ke baad. Mai ye nahi keh rahi ke shadi ke pehle pyaar nahi ho sakta. Mai bass khud ko jitna pata hai utna batati hu. Pyaar.. Kishore Kumar ke pyaar bhare Geet sunn ke jiski yaad aaye, vo pyaar hai. Bheed me jab achanak ek dusre ka haath chhu jaane par dil me gudgudi ho jaaye, vo pyaar hai. Binaa baato ke jab shaanti me bass ek dusre ki saanso ki aawaz sunn ke jo dil ko sukoon milta hai, vo pyaar hai. Neend udd jaana, bhuk na lagna.. ye sab ko mai pyaar nahi maanti. Pyaar tab hai jab shaanti se neend aati hai, jab khushi ke maare do rotiyaan jyada khayi jaati hai. Bahot saara comfort aur trust. Jispe khud se bhi jyada bharosa ho Sanyu, vo pyaar hai.. aur ye sab toh mai bass yuhi bataa rahi hu.. jab vo insaan humari zindgi me aata hai tab bass pata chal hi jaata hai. Signs ki jarurat nahi.. kyu ki pyaar toh bass.. pyaar hai."

Pyaar toh bass... pyaar hai..

My mind drifts to Randhir. I do trust him with my life. I care too much. Our comfort level is also too high.. that's the only reason we are still good sharing one room. So I have fallen for Randhir?

Yes. Yes ofcourse I have. Oh my god..

I suddenly feel a warm sweet fuzzy feeling inside me. For now i don't wanna think if he loves me back. I just want to enjoy this sweet sweet feeling of love. I sit up straight and look at daadi and give her a smile. She obviously knows that Randhir is making me go all lovey dovey but she doesn't start investigating like a typical grandma. That's the reason I love her. She guides me but let's me walk the journey on my own. She kisses my cheek and I go to the living room to sleep.

That speech by daadi literally took me 2 days to write. So if you liked it (or not) please mention it in the comments. They make me very happy!
