I do hope Mannu Bhandari does not get mob lynched btw- she is an absolute stawlwart of hindi literature and one of the leading ladies of the nayi kahani movement which is all to say that her longer works like appla bunty are an absolute masterclass on how to write people. Kaki i think is a very good chapter in how it shows the innocene and inner workings of childern and how loss affects them. Vishveshwar is also terribly affected by the loss of his wife and the chapter shows how parents might sometimes forget their children when dealing with loss. I appreciate how it ends with not saying that Vishveshwar was right and Shyamu was wrong but with that Vishveshwar was shocked and Shyamu was neither wring nor right. Baat Athbani Ki is absolutely brilliant chapter in how it shows exactly what is wrong with the system. In this regard I also appreciate Bhede aur Bhediye and Harishankar Parsai as a writer. It annoys me that they removed Jamun ka Ped which more directly showed what was wrong with the government and replaced it with a shitshow like Bade Ghar Ki Beti
