As for why Anjaneya Sir and I don’t match, the reasons are obvious. I cook for no man other than Sandip. I cook for him because he rescued me from Malay Mitra’s relatives’ house, all this genius strategy is his alone. Since he has done so much for me, I am fine with cooking for him and having a child with him. His parents are nice, they know English and Bengali, so they can stay for the rest of their lives with us, I don’t have an issue. I do not tolerate interfering relatives. I cook tasty food. What can Anjaneya be to me? At most a fling or casual sex, that’s it. I’m not gonna hang out with him and his friends while they speak in their native language, which I don’t understand! I don’t want anything to do with his parents! Can they even speak English? I am not South Indian. I don’t cook South Indian food. I don’t cook for Anjaneya. The only thing I’ve cooked for men other than Sandip is pasta! And since Sandip didn’t like the pasta, I stopped cooking pasta! I don’t even make coffee for men. I don’t clean! I don’t like relatives! No relatives are allowed in my house! My family is banned, obviously. I will get an abortion if any man other than Sandip gets me pregnant! My body, my choice! What has Anjaneya done for me that I would do all of this traditional womanly stuff for him? Sandip’s done all this, that’s why, he’s the exception. I can’t stand South Indian weddings and the dumb line everyone has to stand in! Why are there so many people? Why do they dress so bad? I can’t tolerate their dressing sense! I hate gold jewellery! And they can’t speak English! Then how do I talk to them! And the food at the weddings is so bad. Sandip and I like tasty food! If the food tastes good, are child eats well. I dress up only for Sandip, not other men, because Sandip did all this for me. Get used to black all the time, Anjaneya! Again, he doesn’t have a flat where I can host my parties once the suing amounts start coming in, Sandip does. Sandip’s flat looks like a hotel room! Perfect. We both want a house where our child and street dogs can grow. We both like the idea of a garden there. We both like aesthetic things in a house, no glaring colours, please, we’ll die! We’re both charitable, but don’t appear to be. We both hate vacationing. Sandip travels for business mostly, not otherwise. Anjaneya loves travelling! I’m not going! I won’t even have a honeymoon, not even with Sandip! I’m moving into a new house, where the wedding is hosted, what else do I need? Yes, of course, I’m gonna be fine with nieces and nephews running around the house. Keep telling yourself that, Anjaneya! Also, Sandip and I have both grown up abroad, both of us have lived in America l, so we get the same vibe. We both like music playing all the time, English music, not South! Neither of us owns a TV! If Anjaneya puts some native language film on his phone for me to watch with him! I’m not eating sambhar, rice, rasam, curd rice for the rest of my life! I know how to cook, I learnt for Sandip! I cook for myself, don’t touch my cooking, Anjaneya! Again, Sandip and I are spiritual in unconventional ways. Hanuman is not allowed in the house because I don’t believe in the ‘Ramayana’. That’s not a God I worship. I don’t worship Radha and Krishna either. I don’t follow house Gods, or whatever it is they follow. I don’t go to the temple! I don’t use camphor for pujas! I don’t throw gourds for pujas! I’m not South Indian, afterall! I didn’t even want to get married until Sandip convinced me, that too, it took him 2 years to convince me. Oh, also, I am terrified of riding on bikes, so I’m not moving around with Anjaneya on his bike! Sandip drives cars! I don’t drive! I just auto or cab once the suing amounts come! And Sandip doesn’t have time to drive me places! And Anjaneya eats rice, I like roti! Nothing matches! That’s why I won’t seriously date this guy. Reason! We’re bound to break up or get divorced easily! Oh, and no one changes. That’s why you fall in love with someone who matches. Otherwise, it never works out long-term. Besides, I always thought Anjaneya Sir was 45 years old, married, and had kids. I still find it hard to believe he’s younger than me, that’s not possible. He’s cheating on his wife! I’ll burn him to the ground if I find anything of the sort! I am loyal only to Sandip. And if Anjaneya was really genuine, he would have never gone to someone in a 10-year relationship, he would have gone to someone single! What gives trying to break up a happy couple?! That’s just malice and evil. He’s a bad person!
