HARSH (too polite)
Mummy ji, main bana deta hoon chai.
RADHA
Arre haan. Bana lo. Dekhte hain.
ANITA (dry)
“Dekhte hain” se hi family court lag raha hai.
RADHA
Respect se bana raha hai. Galti ho bhi gayi toh maaf.
ANITA
Woh “bilkul” abhi hai. Baad mein “oops” aayega.
RADHA
Do chammach sugar.
ANITA
Mere liye toh bas naam ka chai rakh do. Main diet pe hoon.
RADHA
Ab theek.
ANITA
Mummy, aapko “theek” ka matlab “thoda aur” hota hai.
HARSH (careful)
Toh... aur?
RADHA
Nahi. Bas ab milk.
ANITA
Ab ek boil aur.
RADHA
Haan. Chai ko zinda rakhna padta hai.
ANITA
Maa, aap chai bana rahi ho ya army training?
HARSH (muttering)
Respect se... respect se...
RADHA
Yeh cup purana hai.
ANITA
Is ghar mein sab purana hai, bas expectations nayi hain.
HARSH
Ye wala theek hai?
RADHA
Haan. Yeh hi.
RADHA
Aaj chai theek bani hai.
HARSH
Sach?
RADHA
Par yeh cup Harsh ke liye hai. Usne banaaya hai.
RADHA
Pehli baar kisi ne mere kitchen mein khade hoke sirf chai nahi, ghar samjha hai.
HARSH
Mummy ji... is chai mein thodi si...
HARSH
...namak jaisi respect hai.
RADHA
Ab next cup Anita banayegi.
ANITA
Main emotional load sambhal rahi hoon, chai ka load nahi.
RADHA
Ghar chalana bhi chai jaisa hota hai.
ANITA
Aur overboil ho gaya toh?
RADHA
Toh teenon peena padta hai.
