On New Year's Eve, I met Kasturbaji for the first time.


You people are well aware of how keen I am to meet Gandhi Ji, and how all I need is a small reason or occasion to visit Gandhi Ji at Sabarmati ashram. Though I am unemployed and unable to tell Gandhi Ji that I am unemployed, I have discovered an easy technique to deceive him by claiming that the new year falls on weekends. So, at 10 a.m. on New Year's Day, I arrived at Sabarmati Ashram. Gandhi Ji was watering the plants, and when I touched his feet as I often did, he began rushing after me, asking, "How much time will I tell you not to touch my feet, hug me?" I came to a halt, and he came to a halt as well, but I felt uneasy hugging him, so he hugged me instead, and I saw Kasturba Ji emerge from the ashram at that point.


I let go of Gandhi Ji and walk right up to Kasturba Ji, touching her feet. She smiled at me, and I smiled back, but behind me, Gandhi Ji said, "We Gandhians crave hugs, not feet touching." Sorry, Gandhi ji, but as an Indian, I am required to respect my elders and idols by making a simple gesture such as touching feet, and I like doing so. Hey there, dude! We Gandhians are also Indians, and we appreciate your traditions, morals, and possibly everything, yet my gut tells me that "I need Hugs instead of Touching My Feet." Kasturba got right into the argument, adding, "Only because people respect you doesn't mean you force your likeability on them; they will do anything they want, not just meet your demand." Gandhi ji appears to be offended by Kasturba's statements, but instead of questioning them, he drags me into the Ashram, and Kasturba follows.

Gandhi Ji put a mat in front of me, and Kasturba Ji took my bag. Gandhi Ji went to Chula, lit a fire, and placed the tea kettle on the Chula. Kasturba came over and sat with me on the mat. I was scared to ask Kasturba certain questions, but I did: "Why aren't you always present in the Ashram?" To be honest, I am married to that man pointing fingers at Gandhi Ji, he is famous and always worries about people and everything, but I am not that capable; I love him, take care of him, and possibly do everything I can to make him happy, but he can't be happy as long as there are poor people, injustice, hate, and so many other factors, and when I became frustrated with his sad face, I left the ashram for a while. Isn't he against you because of your actions? I never give him a reason to disagree with me. Sorry, but I'd like to ask you how terrific of a husband he is. Gandhi Ji stares at her with bated breath and she says, "He is the best." They both looked at each other with smiles, but I'm embarrassed. Gandhi Ji turned around and poured tea into three glasses before approaching us.

I took one glass and he gave one glass to Kasturba Ji. Kasturba Ji asked me what's going on outside of the Ashram? I looked at Gandhi Ji and he looked at me. We both looked at her. Gandhi Ji said that I am mutually agreed with myself that there will be never any discussion of outsides in the ashram. Kasturba immediately raised her voice, why? Gandhi Ji looked at me, I looked at her and said I don't want to sound filmy but this dialogue is very much appropriate here "I don't want to lie and you can't listen to the Truth". It's very much okay for me that I will not start my new year with such bad news that I can't listen, by the way, which movie dialogue is this? We looked at each other and utter simultaneously that we don't know.  Kasturba made this statement very wisely at that moment I am still awestruck" why do you guys look at those things? that you have no idea and you can't even explain and hesitate to explain publicly, You are dumb." Gandhi Ji leaned towards me and whispered no, I am not dumb and I replied I am not a dumb also. Kasturba took the three glasses and left.

I took one glass, and he gave Kasturba Ji the other. What's happening on outside the Ashram, Kasturba Ji inquired? I stared at Gandhi Ji, and he stared back. We both locked our gazes on her. Gandhi Ji stated, "I have jointly agreed with myself that no outside conversation will ever take place in the ashram." why? Gandhi Ji looked at me, I looked at her and said I don't want to sound filmy but this dialogue is very much appropriate here "I don't want to lie and you can't listen to the Truth." It's very much okay for me that I will not start my new year with such bad news that I can't listen, by the way, which movie dialogue is this? We looked at each other and utter simultaneously that we don't know.  Kasturba made this statement very wisely at that moment I am still awestruck" why do you guys look at those things? that you have no idea and you can't even explain and hesitate to explain publicly, You are dumb." Gandhi Ji leaned towards me and whispered no, I am not dumb and I replied I am not dumb either. Kasturba took the three glasses and left.

Gandhi went to his library and returned with a book that had no cover; he handed it to me and told me that when I returned, I should bring the book with me. I inquired as to the subject of the book. The book is not yet released; it is my most recent work. After you finish the book and provide me with a review, I'll consider releasing it. "My wifey- Kasturba" is the title of the novel that comes to mind. I opened the book and began reading the first page without giving it a second thought. "While fate did not conspire for us to be together, a member of our family wished for us to be together, and so we did." At the time of my marriage, I had no expectations that my wife would be like this or that; my only notion was that my father was always right and that he would do everything in his power to make both of us happy. He was proven correct, but in my heart, I still believe I should have married later to avoid some awkward moments between us. I was the one who gets uncomfortable, she was very comfortable with me from the beginning and the way she looks into my eyes, from that moment I got the confidence and even today I think I can protest 6/7 years more." This was just an introduction and the full 200 pages are there. I put the book down and gazed into his eyes; he seemed uneasy, but I didn't receive any confidence from his gaze; you have no confidence in your appearance. In my heart, I have faith. My self-assurance is expressed through my smile.

Kasturba arrived with some vegetables and three knives, and we got to work cutting them up. I inquired about the launch menu with Kasturba Ji. Sabji and Kheer, she replied, he'd cook the kheer. Gandhi Ji smiles as my face turns black. I stayed there for the day, but my mood began to deteriorate. As a result, I'm at a loss for words.

Stay safe stay healthy

Wish you a happy new year
