Saalon lag jate hai aapne aap ko sabit karne mein!
(It takes years to prove yourself )
Saadiyan bit jate hai apna barchaswa, apni raajpat kayem karne meinn!
(It takes decades to establish your rein,Your fame )
Bhhay! Humesha auzar bana hai Raaj kayem karne mein
(It has always been fear that had been used as tool to rule the society )
Par Laliabagh aisa nhi tha....Ihan tavancha toh chalein,ganpatti pe sar vi rakha gaya....lekin Yahan ki janta ke dil mein kavi woh bhay nhi tha...alvatta agar kisi ne Laliabagh ko chhera na ho!
(But Laliabagh had never been so...Guns had been fired though,People indeed were under the rudder of the weapons,still the people never dreaded the thakurs unless they have meddled with them )
Ranvijay aagar Laliabagh ki stamnbh tha....Digvijay ka logon ki khas kar ke aurton ki dil mein raaj tha....Rukmini ki tez tararar juban ki hote huye vi Sab ki woh laadli thi.....In kahin saalon mein Laliabagh ki thakur ki naam pe dusre elake mein vale hi aatank ho yahan logon ki sar aadar se jhukte the...

(If Ranvijay was the pillar of Laliabagh,Digvijay was the apple of eye of the commoners,especially to the women.Despite Rukmini"s razor sharp tongue and brashness,she was loved by all. Though the other realms of the city was quite under the fixed spot.... here the peoples head used to be bowed in reverence and adoration only.

Aaj Thakur Sona Singh ki bada beta Ranvijay Dhai mahine baad Sarangpur se Lailabagh laut raha tha.....

Today Ranvijay, Sona Thakur"s elder son was finally coming back to his home,spending two and a half month in Sarangpur.

Jab Laliabagh mein kutte bhokte hai...tab pata hai uska kya matlab hota hai?

(When dogs bark in Laliabag... then do you know what it means?)
Shyam was newly appointed to Laliabagh Haveli. He was confused. Not very much understanding what Murari means...he asked
Ka hota hai Murari Dada?
(What happens Murari Bhaiya?)
Murari who had been working for past 15 years here smiled and replied

Rana bhaiya....

Rana bhaiya???
Shyam was still confused.

Ha Rana Bhaiya...

(Yes Rana Bhaiya.)

Wapas aa raha hai....

(He is coming back....)

When Shyam joined the workforce,Rana was in Sarangpur,so he never met the Elder son of Bade Thakur but had heard a lot from other servants and the people of Laliabagh.

Bade Thakur,Diga Bhaiya,Amma ... .Rukmini didi..suno sab.,Rana Bhaiya aa gaye..Rana Bhaiya aa gaye.....

(Bade Thakur, Diga Bhaiya,Amma ... .Rukmini didi..Listen everyone ... .Rana Bhaiya is back.Rana Bhaiya is back.....)
Murari ran towards the staircase to inform all the family members of his homecoming.

The news of Rana"s Homecoming spread like flames of fire all over the mansion.
If Rukmini was like a moon of Laliabagh
then Rana was then no less than the Sun! The entire mansion lit up as if it was an auspicious day for everyone.
Jalpa Devi- Rana,Rukku and Diga"s mother, chewing betel nuts, was busy managing the cash that was delivered yesterday. Geeta and Dori, two of her most trusted maids, were helping her to keep the bundles of 500 and 1000 in separate blocks in her cashbox.
Aa gaya mera Baccha!
(Oh my sweet pie has arrived!)
Jalpa devi smiled widely and literally hurried to the hallroom to meet her elder son..Shyam with awe was witnessing a overwhelmingly different scene near the enormous iron gate of the mansion.
At least ten to twelve dogs were there wagging their tails and expressing their immense joy at his return.

Being a little dumb and outspoken, Shyam quipped.

Peheli baar kisi sher ka swagat kutto ko karte huye dekh rahe hai!

(This is the first time I am watching a pack of dogs welcome a Tiger in the territory.)
Lallan who was also working here for past ten years...smacked Shyam"s head and murmured

Bhonsdike! muh kholne se pehle sochte nhi hai kya! Yeh kutte Rana Bhaiya ki wafadar sena hai unki ek ishare pe tumri boti boti kat lenge!

(You idiot!
Don't you think before opening your mouth? Do you even know who he is! These dogs are Rana Bhaiya's loyal army and if he wants, they will tear you apart like threads by his one signal!)
Shyam gulped his saliva and looked on as Rana jumped off his jeep and parked his jeep in the backyard.

He was a tall young,handsome man,with light stubble, two gold studs were gleaming in his ears ....He was feeding them biscuits while patting each of them lovingly.

Aa gaya bachura tu!
So finally my Dear son has arrived!

Mera laadesar!
My Beloved!

Jalpa devi cupped his face and ruffled his hair lovingly.
Amma tu toh aise laad racha rahe ho jaise ki kilah fateh karke aaya hai tumhara Beta!
Amma, you are pampering me as if your son has returned after a victory! Rukmini taunted her mother as she looked on how her mother is bestowing her affection to her son.

She dragged her wheelchair to her brother...
Rana bent down and ruffled her hair and made her wear a very costly golden chain.
While Rana was bestowing his affection to Rukmini. Vijay came downstairs with a face emotionless...but quite proud of his elder son.
Rana touched his father's feet while holding his unloaded gun. He hugged her mother who seemed so petty infront of his lanky frame. Rukmini "s eyes get moist for a fraction of second...but nonetheless she hid it and said
Dekha Arjun! Kya bola tha meine....Bhaiyu meri janamdin kabhi nhi bhul sakte...chal ab 500 ka note nikal jaldi.
See Arjun..!Didn't I tell you... Bhaiyu can never forget my birthday.Now Its your turn to pay back...Take out 500 Rs...now!!
Arjun who was their cousin...meekly replied

Mere paas kaha Rukkudi...
How will I have the money Rukudi!

Arjun stays with the Thakurs in Laliah Bag Haveli. He is Jalpa Devi 's younger sister's son who is no more in the world
Ha bhai mein vi kis se maang rahi hoon tu toh inki hi tarah....Rukmini pointed out the stray dogs. Thakuron ki tukro pe pala hua kutta hai. Mujhe tujhse shart lagana hi nahi chahiye tha...Khair paise toh meine utha liya hai note ki gaddi se...

True!Rukmini smiles and points out the stray dogs.
"(You are no less than these stray dogs.same is like a pet of the Thakurs.I shouldn't have challenged you for the bet.Nonetheless I have already taken two thousand rupee note from the bundle!)

Getting such humiliation almost everyday was not new to him. Arjun,controlling his pain and tears, immediately leaves the place.

Diga kaha hai....
Where is Diga?
Rana asked as he entered the mansion..
Wahi zaha woh humesha hota hai.
As usual where he is always found.
Rukmini winked and giggled naughtily to hide her mischief to her father.

Do you like Ranvijay aka Rana Thakurs entry?
What do you think Diga is?

What is your opinion regarding Rukmini"s behaviour to Arjun..
