"Arnav babuwa... why are you wearing a suit today? Kurta-pyajama pehente... aaj shaadi hai bitwa... tumhri koi meeting nahi!!" Buaji's words kept on resonating in his ears. And not justher, almost all the people he knew in LaxmiNagar, had asked him the same question. He wondered if Khushi had conspiredagainst him and instructed all of them to question him, just to rile him up. Heknew his wife was totally capable of such madness.
Hethought about today morning ... he recollected her particular words... "Arnavji,please wear the kurta-pyjama that I have kept aside for you. It is not one ofyour business weddings with cocktail parties and lavish receptions. It is asimple, traditional wedding that will wind up by evening. It is going to be anopen-air affair, in the sweltering heat of Delhi... that is going to make youfeel dizzy. Please Arnavji, listen to me for once..." Khushi poutedadorably, trying to put some sense in his arrogant head. However, Arnav SinghRaizada, always got his way and here he sat, wearing a branded three-piecesuit, sweating profusely.
Assoon as they had reached Laxmi Nagarthis morning, the baraat was already aroundthe corner... much earlier than expected. He mentally laughed at the crazy anticsof his wife and her friends, who had joined the baraat and started dancing to the DJ's music, conveniently forgettingthat they were from the bride's side. "Jeejaji, remove your suit and tie andjust let go... come join us for a dance. Look at Khushi... come on, dance with her,jeejaji," the persistentpestering of Khushi's friends and the challenging looks of his wife, finallymanaged to drag him to the baraat reluctantly.He knew her smug expression, telling him just how much this dancing was goingto make him sweat. Everyone danced and swayed to the Bollywood Beats' withcomplete abandon.
Thedancing went on for an hour hour, with Arnav looking at Khushi from the corner ofthe street. Buaji had been kindenough to keep offering him some cold juice or cold drink, knowing very wellthat the heat would not make him bear even a sip of his favourite black coffee.He was annoyed, frustrated and sweating, even before the actual wedding hadbegun!! If his ego weren't as big as it was, he would have stripped right downto his boxers, in front of everyone. Anyways, the entire Laxmi Nagar had already seen him in just a towel, when he hadstayed there last year, with Khushi. He smiled at the thought, of how muchKhushi had troubled him then... and did, even today. However, the flashes of hersleeping at the poolside, her hurt hand, her broken heart and those tears thatcould break him completely... made everything else seem so small, in comparison.
Itwas almost seven in the evening, when finally, an exhausted Khushi settled inthe car besides an even more exhausted Arnav. She looked over at his tiredform, and felt terrible for annoying and teasing him throughout the day. But,what was she to do? He had conveniently missed all the pre-wedding functions,leaving her alone to answer all the relatives and friends. She was miffed athim, for dedicating all his time to work. She never demanded his time usually,but on these rare occasions... she wanted him to be there with her.
Apart from the message that the film gave us, Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan also added their two bits during the promotions. Vidya, who got married to Siddharth Roy Kapur in 2012, had said, "I am still experiencing the effects of marriage. My husband Siddharth is a very convincing actor, so I don't always believe him. It is wonderful to win all the time and we ladies do always win. My only advice to others is to be yourself even after you are married."
Farhan, who was married to Adhuna Bhabani at the time of the film's release, said, "To be honest, this thing about side effects of a marriage is not a very serious issue. It depends on each individual and how they want to carry on with the relationship. The only thing is to always remember that thing (quality) which made you fall in love with your partner." Farhan got married to Shibani Dandekar on February 19 in a beautiful wedding ceremony.
Monorepos are especially well suited for js applications because they are the worst kind of applications to maintain. Js lacks types, compiler, has mutations and every inch of a user interface is full of side effects. All your frontend and backend issues combine and snowball into user-facing issues on production. To tackle this to some extent, we recently migrated to a monorepo.
This is a sign that the saga package is not a loosely coupled package. It is not truly modular. App package which has a lot of side effects and a huge surface area can easily cause saga to fail. It will be hard to predict how the saga will behave at runtime. This makes both app and saga harder to maintain or change.
saga package should not depend on a huge package like an app full of side effects. It should work independently without any dependency. In this scenario, you should extract the code saga uses into its own package.
If saga is dependent on the app because it is using API related logic from the app. Create a new package `api` which is pure without side effects and reuse this in both the app and saga package. Remove app dependency from the saga and depend on decoupled API package instead.
Prasanna D Zore describes Shaadi Ke Side Effects as 'an over-simplified, over-amplified, over-stretched joke...'
Siddharth Roy and Trisha Mallik, total strangers, meet at a noisy discotheque.
A minor squabble reveals that both are married to each other and are just trying to escape from their mundane lives with role-playing over some wine and jarring music.
As luck would have it, they end up having a romp -- a secret fantasy every man, married or otherwise, desires and for the sake of Shaadi Ke Side Effects (and equality) our woman, Trisha, cherishes too -- at a five star hotel.
Like all sex-starved people who get to indulge in wild one-night stands, Siddharth (Farhan Akhtar) and Trisha (Vidya Balan) are all over each other -- inside the elevator, just outside their hotel room -- and oblivious of the prying cameras.
Even as these strangers are at it inside the room, the hotel manager knocks on the door and chides Siddharth for his indecent act outside the room, only to be told by the latter that the two are a married couple trying to spice up their sex lives.
Shaadi Ke Side Effects (SKSE), written and directed by Saket Chaudhary, who also helmed Rahul Bose-Mallika Sherawat starrer Pyaar Ke Side Effects, opens on this contrived note and meanders for an over-stretched 145 minutes, full of twists and turns, that one has come to so famously associate with soaps produced by Balaji.
Chaudhary has, at times, over-simplified the complex issues married couples face (sharing of parental responsibilities) and, at times, over-amplified the way these strange creatures (read married couples) react to facts of married-life, like pregnancies.
For heavens sake, nobody makes his wife do pregnancy tests four times just to convey his shock and unpreparedness over the impending situation.
While Chaudhary has aptly showcased the problems faced by couples once they become parents, he has gone overboard with his portrayal of two individuals trying to find 'me-space' as they grapple with parental responsibilities.
For example, no soccer-crazy father could forget that his daughter is being ferried on a horse while watching a soccer match at a street-side cafe between ManU and Chelsea and return home without his daughter, only to be reminded how irresponsible a father he is by his wife.
For example, no woman would lie to her husband that the reason for her second pregnancy is the next-door dude just to find out if her husband is as forgiving as she is and then unconvincingly confess that she has lied to him.
Nobody, though, is trying to take away the moments in SKSE that make you empathise with the ups and downs faced by Siddharth and Trisha but it is more so because Akhtar and Balan make them seem real with their sincerity.
With these two talents around and some cheeky dialogues (written by Arshad Sayed) on the plate you will never find a dull moment in the film; the over-stretched plot though earnestly attempts to test your patience on many occasions.
Surely, Akhtar and Balan, two of the finest actors in contemporary Bollywood, need to be applauded for pulling off SKSE without giving you any side effects once the credits begin to roll.
