Sharda enters the class hesitantly. She looks around at her classmates. She approaches a lady and says Namaste to her. The lady replies with a hello, how are you! Sharda recalls what Sakshi had taught her that day. Sharda replies with an ok. That lady mistakes her words with who are you.

Sharda is confused as Sakshi had told her something else. The lady repeats her questions and Sharda tells her that I have come here to study. She asks her to take a seat. As Sharda walks past, a few ladies smile pleasantly at her while the rest of them are busy talking to one another. Sharda sits on a bench. The girl sitting adjacent to her starts talking to her. you must be married in the flashback ( ). Sharda agrees. That girl points out that girls learn English to get married. Have you come here to get married again? All the ladies smile while Sharda is taken aback. It isn’t so. The girl introduces herself as Roshni and Sharda also introduces herself.
Roshni says you look like you come from a good family. Do you have a young son whose age is to get married? Sharda breaks her heart by saying that her son got married recently. Roshni gets annoyed. You shouldn’t have wasted my time like this. She resumes doing her touch up.
As soon as Sakshi is back, Dadi asks her to sing bhajan for her. sakshi has brought a cd and plays it for her. sakshi folds her hand to clap as the bhajan plays and Dadi follows suit. Sakshi is happy that Dadi is enjoying it. Dadi appreciates it. Though it isn’t as sweet as Sharda’s voice but it would do. Sakshi prays that ma’s class finishes smoothly.
A male teacher comes and introduces himself – Shirish Kamath. All the ladies get up to wish him. He is talking in Hindi to make them feel comfortable. He asks everyone to introduce themselves. One of the elderly lady is Savita ji. She wants to learn English so that she can go to America where her sons are working. The lady whom Sharda tried to talk to initially gives her intro – Kanchan Bhalla. He looks annoyed with her way of talking. She keeps on talking in broken English. A muslim woman named Rukhsar is next. She has come to finish her studies. Next comes Sharda’s turn. Sharda introduces herself as Mrs. Suresh Modi. He asks for her name. Sharda obliges and goes quiet. He asks her to tell her more about yourself. This is just a basic question. You will be asked more questions in future. It would be better if get habitual to answering the questions well. For now, you can sit down. Sharda does as told. Shirish says you have started a journey today which people start in their childhood only. Those who take this journey later in life don’t have the time to stop in between in their way. You too don’t have it that is why none of you will get an off in this class. I know there will be some difficulties but you all have to make them easy with your hard work and dedication. If you have understood what I am trying to say then say yes.
They all say it out loud. He asks them to copy what he is going to write on the blackboard. Sharda is scared and doesn’t open her notebook which he notices. He asks her to copy him. She obliges and starts writing A, B, C in her notebook. They write A-Z and 1-10. The class comes to an end. Everyone gets up to leave. Kanchan promises on behalf of the class that they will study diligently.
Everyone walks out of the class. Roshni excitedly asks Kanchan that she must know many handsome and rich guys. Please fix something for me. Kanchan asks her to become a little more wifi (she meant high fi) which Roshni corrects. She leaves and so does everyone else. Sharda stands at a distance watching them go. Savita ji and Rukhsar bid her bye before going and so does she.
Sharda comes home and calls out for Sakshi, Kaveri. She wonders if Kaveri gave tea to Dadi. Just then Dadi comes there. She asks for ginger tea. Sharda asks her about the bhajan thing. dadi says Sakshi put on a cd. Sharda assures her she will sing it for her tomorrow. dadi gets happy.
Karan is looking for a file. He is not able to find it in any of the drawers. Dad will kill me if I go to office without that file. It was really important. He is sure Sakshi would have kept it somewhere. He calls out for her angrily. What did we decide upon yester night? She is surprised when he answers his own question. We had decided we wont interfere in one another’s life. Still you touched my file and kept it somewhere. Tell me where is it? She declines doing anything to the file. You have misplaced it on your own and keep blaming others for it. She turns to go and find it. I dint touch it and neither would I touch it now. I will just point at it from far. She is about to check in the drawer when he tells her he just checked there. She cannot understand why he is making her look for it when he has already checked everywhere. He is adamant that she only has kept is somewhere. She controls her anger. I dint touch it. He again asks for his file. Would some announcement happen from space telling us about the location of the file?
Right then, Sharda comes to tell him that she took the file from his room in the morning while he was sleeping. You dad wanted it. Karan goes quiet and Sakshi looks away. sharda asks Karan why he has made a face like that. Sakshi signals him and he smiles. He bends down to seek her blessing. He is worried thinking if mom heard them. sakshi too thinks the same when Sharda asks them about the worried look on their faces. Hope you both dint fight today as well. Karan declines. he puts his hand around Sakshi’s shoulder. There can be no problem when Sakshi is there. Sakshi is taken aback but then smiles. He continues, now that Sakshi has come in my life I have realised what true happiness is. In his mind he thinks about the real happiness which he used to feel before he got married.
He says, a person is incomplete before wedding and then thinks in his mind that he is all finished when he gets married. Right Sakshi? She agrees. Karan and Sakshi continue praising each other in front of Sharda. She turns to go but then asks Sakshi to come with her. sakshi leaves after making a side face at Karan.
Sakshi asks Sharda about her first day at coaching centre. Shara is hesitant. Sakshi asks her if something went wrong there. Sharda denies. nothing as such happened but the sir there looks very strict and short tempered. He asked me to introduce myself and I couldn’t say anything other than my name. You teach me sweetly. If sir too will teach me like that then it will be very good. Sakshi tells her about the pottery classes she used to attend in her school. The utensils could be made in the shade as well but they remained raw then. Wet dust has to bear sun to be strong for which one has to step out of the house. Sharda looks at her sweetly. You are my guru for real. You teach me everything with so much love and ease. Sakshi has full faith on her. you will do very good in your class and your sir will very soon start praising you. Sharda gets happy.
diya comes there and hugs her Nani. She asks for lunch. I have got lot of homework to do or the teacher will scold me. sakshi points out that a teacher has to be a little stern. Sharda understands it well. Pratik too comes. Sakshi goes to set lunch for them while Sharda talks to Pratik. He tells her how Diya remembers her grandmother’s house first thing when she steps out of the school. She doesn’t feel happy at home as someone has to be home to make that happen. You know how busy Latika is. Latika comes there just then. Of course I am busy but I take out time for my daughter over everything else. I know my duties as I am her mother. I too had gone to her school but she had already left with you. Don’t you think you should inform me about it? Sakshi calls them for lunch. Sharda asks Sakshi to call Karan as well. Sakshi wonders why only wives have to call husbands over.
They reach everywhere without being called but a wife has to invite them for food. First fight and then go to call him as well!
Sakshi and Karan collide and fall on bed as both were coming from different directions well in speed. They share as eye lock. She tells them that ma has called him for lunch.
He is looking straight and she notices a lipstick mark on his neck. He begins to walk out of the room when she tries to stop him. she puts her hand around his neck to wipe the mark and they both get lost in each other’s eyes. Everyone watches them from the dining table and smiles especially Diya. Sharda too is happy. karan asks Sakshi what she is doing. Everyone is looking at us only.
Sakshi stops Karan outside their room and puts her hand around his neck to wipe the mark. Karan is uncomfy as everyone watches them from the dining table and smiles especially Diya. Sharda too is happy. Karan asks Sakshi what she is doing. Everyone is looking at us only. Remove your hand. She smilingly asks him to come inside as you have forgotten something I think. He declines and starts going downstairs but she again stops him. Why aren’t you listening to me? You cannot go downstairs like this. He is unable to understand what she is hinting at. She mutters that he will have to come along with her or mom will come to know that we fight every night and I know you don’t want that. She takes him back inside their room. Sharda is happy.
Karan distances himself from her. What were you doing in front of everyone? Good that we had decided we wouldn’t let anyone about our fight but what’s the point of romancing in front of everyone like this? He realises something and says, I know I am very good looking and you are attracted to me but forget it. Nothing can happen between us. She replies you think I am interested in romancing you? For your kind information I was only trying to hide the lipstick mark on your neck. If someone would have seen it then it would have been a problem. He gets confused and goes to check in the mirror. She also corrects him over the points which he said. Neither are you good looking nor am I attracted to you hope you understand. She leaves from there. He is not happy with the lipstick mark on his neck.
Sakshi comes downstairs and stands by the stairs to calm herself. Karan comes and thanks her. She is still upset. He very sweetly thanks her again. How do I say it that you forgive me! She looks at him. Just then everyone comes with a cake while singing happy birthday song. Karan cuts the cake. He is about to feed Sharda first but she asks him to feed Sakshi first. He obliges. Saiyaan re plays in the background as they both feed each other one by one. Diya thanks Sakshi as she gives her some cake. Sakshi asks her to thank her when she sends her to the annual day function in her school dressed as Radha. You will look the best. Pratik and Diya and everyone is happy except Latika who doesn’t seem to know about it. Latika asks Diya about it. You dint tell me about your school’s annual day. Diya replies that she had forgotten plus you don’t spend time with me at all. Latika is taken aback. Sharda tells Diya not to talk to her mom like that so Diya apologizes to Latika. Latika doesn’t want Sakshi to take the trouble. I am Diya’s mom and who will know better than me how to dress her up. Sakshi is a little taken aback but doesn’t show. Diya gets happy with the idea of her mom doing this for her and goes to give her a hug.
Pratik appreciates Sakshi for how she boosted their MIL’s courage and got her enrolled to study. Dadi asks him to save his salute. Just like fever cools down in 4 days time…Sharda’s fever for studies too shall pass in 4 days time. Latika and Chirag agree with Dadi while everyone else is startled. Latika asks Sharda to think about Dad’s reputation if not of your old age. Chirag too feels embarrass at the thought of it. Karan tells him to stop. Both of yours thinking is so old and downmarket. You are the youth of 21st century how can you think so backwards! It is ok if you cannot motivate mom to study atleast don’t demotivate her. latika retorts at him asking him not to talk about motivation as he couldn’t motivate himself to go to office even though dad used to ask him so many times. Chirag too sides with Latika. They both get into an argument when Suresh tells them all to stop. Suresh tells Chirag it felt good to hear that you know how you want to live your life. Don’t disappoint me in your result this time or else all your pocket money will be stopped. Chirag apologizes to him. suresh turns to Karan now. With motivation or without motivation if you want to come to office, then come on time. Karan agrees. Suresh finally wishes him. he asks Sharda to serve him food and they both leave.
Next morning, Sakshi notices that Karan is still asleep. She thinks of waking him or he will get late to go to office but then stops as she recalls how they had decided not to interfere in one another’s life. If I wake him up then he will scold me. And if I don’t wake him up then papa wont leave him. Second option is better. A person has to be a little responsible about his work and timings. She knowingly opens the cupboard by making a noise because of which he wakes up. He is about to scold her but gets up with a start when he looks at the clock. Why dint you wake me up its so late! She asks him why she has to do so. Plus those who have to leave for office early morning don’t watch tv till late night. We had decided we wont cross each other’s path then how can I disturb your dreamland. He blames it all on her. My whole life has been disturbed because of you…and this office thing too has started because of you! She tells him not to go if he doesn’t want to. She leaves from there. He repeats after her and is irked that his wish is not even in the wish list nowadays.
Sharda reaches her coaching centre and prays to Ma Saraswati. My DIL told me that blessings have to be asked for. Today I am asking for the boon of knowledge from you. My name is just another name for you. But you don’t get Saraswati just be having that name / meaning in your name. One has to try. Make me successful in this attempt. I will work hard and fulfil the promise that I have given to my DIL. Shirish was passing by from there and stops to look at her.
Shirish begins his class when Sharda makes an entry. He asks her the reason for being late. She is again scared and fumbles. He says you come here to study from me not from the idol of Ma Saraswati so you should be inside the class on time before me not before the idol. He tells her to take her seat. Don’t come late next time. She starts walking towards her seat. She cannot understand why she cannot pray. She takes her seat. Shirish says, a journey begins with the first step that you take. Yesterday I asked you all to speak about yourself but none of you could continue beyond 2 minutes time. But I am sure you will do that now. Your first step in this journey is your first task. You will have to read it out to the class as well. You all have to write an essay on yourself. Who are you; what defines you and what is your identity. He asks a hesitant Sharda about the same. I am sure when you will write it and say it before me then you too would get comfortable to start speaking in front of me. till when will you talk to Ma Saraswati only? What do you think you will be able to do it? She nods. He insists she will have to. I hope you will write it by the end of this week. He welcomes and introduces a new student (Lopa Bohra) who has joined their class. Shirish goes out for a while and asks her to share something about herself. Everyone begins talking amongst themselves. Roshni is irked with him and wonders if a guy like him is even married or not. don’t know what he thinks of himself. She calls him sadu (arrogant). Sharda sweetly tells her not to talk like this for anyone. Roshni questions her if she is related to him. sharda nods. He is my sir just like he is yours. Roshni leaves with Kanchan. Lopa turns to Sharda and they both introduce themselves to one another. Lopa doesn’t know much hindi and English too so she cannot help Sharda in writing the essay. Sharda notices Savita ji who is busy talking on phone. Rukhsar also declines. sharda is upset thinking how much comfortable / happy she used to feel when she was in her group (ladies who used to do embroidery with her). I don’t think I would be able to befriend anyone here.
Sakshi is sitting sadly as she recalls how Karan has been upset with her lately; their fights over almost everything. Sharda is surprised to see her sitting alone. Sakshi was waiting for her only. I am all ears to know about your day. Sharda smiles. You wait for me just like I wait for Diya to return from school. Sakshi asks her about today’s class. Sharda says sir was as usual strict and I am as usual worried. There is no one to talk to. Sakshi tells her to give them some time to know them all. Everyone is different with different likes, needs, thinking. Once everyone gets to know each other then you all will become friends. Take us for example, we too were strangers initially but then we understood each other. Now we are the best of friends. Sharda gets happy.
Karan was going out just then when Sharda calls out for him. Are you going to office or you had come for lunch? He says I am going now. Sharda asks Sakshi for his lunch box. Sakshi goes to get it. Karan asks Sharda about her classes. Are you enjoying? She says I don’t know if its fun or not but I am getting to learn a lot there. He encourages her that is what you have gone there for. sakshi comes back with the lunch box and holds it out for him. he mutter looking at her…just like I am having fun! He changes his expressions when he looks at his mom; takes the box and leaves after saying bye to his mom. Sakshi stands there quietly / a little sad. Sharda is worried for her and asks her if everything is fine between them. sakshi lies though Sharda understands it. Sakshi excuses herself to go call her mom.
Diya comes home from school and praises her Nani. You are the best. Two new girls had joined today. they ate the food cooked by you and loved it so much that we became friends instantly. Sharda gets happy. I dint knew people became friends by eating thepla (food). Diya asks her if she dint make any friends yet. Sharda denies. diya gives her the idea of sharing her lunch with her classmates tomorrow. you will make friends right then. Sakshi too likes the idea. They are strangers and you have to know and understand strangers to make them friends. That is how relations are made! When your classmates will become your friends then only will you enjoy studying. The way to someone’s heart is through their stomachs. Do your magic! Diya too encourages her to do it. Sharda agrees. Keep visiting blastersseries.com for fastest updates.
