Holi - off colored!

I went to my parents to celebrate Holi festival and knowing that my newly wed is already I was very excited and happy. It was glorious for two days.

Third day her younger brother came and asked us to go and celebrate Holi with them. I said if this was the case someone elder from your family should have come to invite or they should have called us. You are too young to invite us to your house on such a big festival. He probably talked to his parents but no invitation from them and we all continued to enjoy our time as the Holi was 2 days later.

God knows what happend and next morning my wife did not get up on time, she even kept inside her room. We thought she might not be feeling well but when I asked what was wrong she started shouting. She was probably why we did not go to her parents to enjoy Holi. But I explained it's just not logical to go if nobody has invited us. Otherwise our relatives and neighbours would pass on comments. But she made it a big issue and started abusing my mother and siter with dirty langaues.

We just could not believe if she could react like this for no reasons. If her parents really wanted us to be there with them, they should have asked my father as these kinds of discussions are known to be discussed among guardians in our society and culture. But she did not listen to all this and only stopped all her "drama" when some neighbours interrupted finally.

They all suggested her it's only reasonable that her father should have talked to my father if he really wanted us to be there on this festival...

She insulted my father...

My fathre went for "Vidaii" to take her back to our parental home in Jharkhand. But what the heck they are refusing to send her with my father? They say that I should have come to my. I couldn't because I am here in Delhi and can't run back to home every month so what's wrong if my father has gone there for the "Vidaii" ?

I called up to discuss something important with my father when he was still there for the "Vidaii". After speaking to my father it was my father-in-law who asked if I wanted to speak to my wife. I said okay yes! But after 2 minutes of hold my wife's elder sister came and asked whom I want to talk? I said to my wife... Next she asked "What I want to talk?"... Geez what's wrong with her and how do I tell her what I want to talk to my wife... I said nothing as she was my wife's elder sister.

Then she started shouting... I should not do what I am doing. I should not torture her on phone. We girls are not of old era and we are now advanced. We will not keep our mouth shut....

I thought she must be crazy and disconnected the phone. Later on I came to know that she had already insulted my father in front of everyone in her family that he should not have not come for "Vidaii"...

Who is she to tell this to my father. My father is elder than him and she is like his daughter... But nobody opposed from her family and she kept on shouting...

My father did not say not say anything to her or to anybody as it was all so shocking to him. He never had met any such girl who could go so abusive in front of elders for no reason...
