The routine finding-a-suitable-boy exercise turned me in to Lady Mr Yogi* for a couple of years. It gave me exciting encounters, interesting revelations and a name for this Substack account.
Gosh you guys are so adorable!! And I loved Mr Yogi! My dad used to sing the title track all the time, I remember we used to all sit together to watch it!
Savvyyyyy!!! You reminded me of my own studio picture moment and how embarrassing it was! I never understood this whole numaish of girls to find us a suitor. What an effing sham! Im sure our parents never felt great about it either but kaun system ko challenge krta?! Kaun unki beti se shaadi krta?! Little did they know that their betiyaan never needed the hypocritical system and its approval! Kitna kuch keh diya tmne itne halke-phulkey andaaz mein <3 Love the photos! You and Udit look adorable in all but my favourite one is you guys shimmering in yellow :))
This has to be one of the most entertaining pieces I’ve read this year, oops, I mean last year, or in many years! So fun, such a feel good read. Loved Mr Yogi.
I love your dad’s tryst with his character 😂. such a fun read, Savvy, and loved seeing you and your husband’s photographs together. You guys look amazing masha’Allah!
I'm so glad I got to read this a second time. And the photos in the end 😍

A nice breezy read Savvy Soumya.
Enjoyed it ! - SR
I love the deadpan face with which this riotously funny story is told. It's a talent to be able to laugh at what the fuss was about :)
"Yeh meri main hoon" is a life mantra though - one I never want to forget, Mr Yogi situation or not 💖
Thankyou Soumya!
I especially love that one of them was an actual dead person. :D
Thanks for sharing your Mr Yogi phase! Brought in a welcome breeze of nostalgia too.
The pictures in the end have my heart ❤️
Re-reading it here again and it’s still full of vivid stories which induce endless laughter. Glad you shared it :)
