Ganga 12th March 2015 Written Episode
Ganga returns home with Niranjan and Raghav ji. A man greets Niranjan. He wants his sign on some papers. Niranjan tells Raghav ji to take Ganga inside.
Amma and everyone is shocked to see Ganga. Sagar is relieved / angry. Who would play with me otherwise? Maid asks Raghav ji if Ganga was trying to leave the city. Sagar asks Ganga if she will run away again. Amma ji interrupts him. She tells the maid to check Ganga. Madhvi’s pendant is missing. Ganga would have taken it with her. Raghav ji denies but Amma ji insists. Maid checks Ganga. Maharaj ji repeats Ganga’s words and even calls her a thief. Maid finds nothing with Ganga. She might have sold it by now. Such people are very smart. They wont carry stolen stuff with them. Raghav ji tries to say something but Amma ji stops him. She tells Madhvi to ask Ganga as it was her locket. Madhvi politely asks Ganga about the locket.
Niranjan enters. Sagar tells him that everyone thinks that Ganga has stolen mom’s locket. Niranjan is taken aback. Maid checked her as well but found nothing. Niranjan scolds everyone. Can you not see her condition? She is sad. Instead of asking her about her whereabouts you all are accusing her for theft? She had gone to do the last rites of her father. Amma ji notices the kalash (of ashes) in his hands. You can check her one more time if you want but you wont find anything except the pain that she has got after losing her father. He gives the kalash to Ganga. Keep it with you carefully. One has to bathe after doing the last rites of anyone. Ganga takes the kalash with her inside. They all look at her sadly.
Pulkit’s friend calls out to him from downstairs to get some CDs. Pulkit gives him the CDs. He notices Sagar all sad. Sagar feels bad for his toy (Ganga). Dadi scolded her so much. I am feeling really bad for her. Pulkit nods. She has been through so much. She would be feeling so bad. But Dadi never understands anything. Madhvi says it all happened because of my locket. Dadi wouldn’t have doubted on Ganga if that locket was not missing. It is all my fault. I should have kept quiet. Pulkit denies. you are not at fault. Please don’t blame yourself. Madhvi too is sad to see Ganga thus. Ganga had gone to do her father’s last rites but we just bombarded her with questions. Sagar wonders why Ganga is sad. People die only. My teacher says everyone dies one day. Dadu too died yet Dadi stays happy. Madhvi shushes him. don’t say that. Amma ji never shows it but everyone feels the pain. Its been so many years that your Dadu has left us but both your Dadi and Papa miss him. Sagar says it may be, but I haven’t seen either of them as sadder as Ganga is. Pulkit makes him understand. Ganga’s father has just died while Dadu had died long time back. You were not there back then and you don’t know how Dadi and Papa would have felt. Ganga has no one, no mother, father or family. She is all alone. You feel bad when no one plays with you. you cry the whole day when you lose a toy. Everyone in the house panics when you are hurt. But there is no one for or with Ganga, to take care of her or to wipe her tears; telling her not to cry. She is bound to be sad then. Sagar is in thoughts.
Ganga is standing at the terrace, still holding the kalash in her hands as she looks at the river. Sagar comes there. What are you doing alone here? Let’s play. She declines. I am not feeling like it. He knows that she is sad that she has no one. But how can you be alone when I am with you? Ganga looks at him. He gives her a lollipop. She smiles after eating it. Sagar too is happy to see her happy.
Ganga sleeps holding the bangles. Next morning, someone gargles. Ganga wakes up thinking that it is her Bappa but it turns out to be Maharaj ji. He understands that she is missing her Bappa. She shakes her head. he notices the kalash beside her pillow. He picks up her bedding. You will have to do it yourself from tomorrow onwards. She keeps the bangles and starts to fold the blanket to help him while he is still talking. He is rendered speechless by that simple act of hers.
Madhvi wakes up Sagar as it is getting late for school. Pulkit and Sagar fight cutely as Pulkit too helps her mom to wake up Sagar. Pulkit says no one has put toothbrush on my brush ever for me. I would have not spared you if you weren’t a special child. He suddenly realises his mistake and goes quiet. Sagar asks him why he called him special. Madhvi diverts his attention. Sagar goes to get ready. Madhvi advises him to make sure Sagar never gets to know about it. Pulkit nods.
Maid gives tea to Niranjan. Madhvi tells Maharaj ji to set the table as Amma ji must be returning after her Ganga snan. Amma ji returns just then, muttering about the growing number of drug addicts, beggars and everything. The times have changed. Maharaj ji agrees with her. Niranjan and Madhvi smile hearing their convo.
Sagar greets his Dadi. She gives him batashe (like every other day). Sagar immediately looks at Ganga. And for Ganga? Amma ji calls Ganga. She is about to give them to her but gets to know that Ganga has not yet taken bath. I will give you after you take bath. Do you have clothes to change? Ganga shakes her head. Amma ji takes Ganga with her. Sagar looks at Ganga as she leaves. Ganga too turns to look at him. He signals her that he is keeping a batasha for her and will give her later. Ganga smiles.
Amma ji makes Ganga stand outside the door of her room only. She finds a white dhoti and gives it to Ganga. This is the house of Brahmins. No one even steps in the kitchen or even puja ghar without taking a bath. Widows have to have a lot of patience. Their living, eating habits are all to be followed strictly as per the rules. They cannot eat once the sun sets. This is written in the scriptures. Ganga nods her head. Amma ji asks her if she is really understanding it or just shaking her head. Ganga honestly replies that she is able to understand a little, not everything. Amma ji feels it is just like hitting your head with a stone. Go and take bath. Clean the bathroom properly afterwards. GAnga leaves.
Madhvi tells Niranjan that it is their aunt’s grandson’s birthday next week. What to gift him? Niranjan is talking to Raghav ji on phone. He gives some money to Madhvi but she denies. He has no clue about gift. I am not sure if I can come with you. take Amma ji with you. Madhvi says Amma ji never goes anywhere. What’s the point of going alone? Niranjan doesn’t feel comfortable with all the relatives surrounding him.
A lady (Prabha) reaches Chaturvedi House. She goes inside with a kid (Prince). She pays lesser amount to the rickshaw driver but he asks for his money. She walks back to where the driver is and looks at him.
Precap: Prabha tells Amma ji that thieves send kids in houses these days. They enter in the house as a servant but then leak all the inside info to their gang. Stealing starts then. They even kill elders of the house sometimes. Ganga is hearing everything from a distance.

March 15, 03:17It is a rare and pleasant surprise to see good serials appear on our TV screens. Most of them portray one community in this vast country of different casts and creeds. To show them always in a negative way is counter productive, as we can see for ourselves through news channels the kind of behaviour our compatriots are capable of. In this depressing state of affairs, it is nice to see that there are people with talent to show us how good people too exist and what they are capable of. Good luck to the writer of this story, and more should come forward to put the true story of this nation before the eyes of the public.
