Whatkind ofold crone are youthat you are imposingyourexpectations onyourOIL and yourlittle nanhi pari?Childrenarefickle,and today. Monalisamightnotwanttotalktoyou onthe phone and prefers KartikAryan and KritiSanon's Coca Cola instead. Buttomorrow,she mightwantto have along conversationwithyou.
Butforyouto putthe blameonyour
OIL shows me you are aterrible dadi. Whatkind ofakalmuhithinks like this aboutthe motherofhergrandkids?
So here is mysolution.Ifyoureally want Monalisa's attention and youare competing withBollywood,then it's simple nah?Putonashinysari,and do adanceand sing CocaCola- or Cholikepeecheifthatisyourvintage -foryourlittle Gudiya, record itand send itto her. Simple.I meansurely, no humiliation istoo deepto sufferfor grand kids, nah?Monalisawill likely love yourperformance so muchthat she will notforgetyouanytime soon.

Problemsolved?
