1998 - Witch got married. Husband bought her a car. Her brother bought himself a moped. Witch threw a party for brother celebrating his newfound success as a salesman who had purchased his very first vaahan. Witch said, "See how lucky I am. I never need to go anywhere in a rickshaw."
2005 - Witch's husband got a major promotion. Her brother bought a car. Witch threw a party for both at her brother's house, broke a coconut in the driveway as soon as all her guests had arrived, and sprinkled its water on her brother's car. Witch said, "See how hardworking my brother is. He rose from a class 2 employee to the upper ranks in no time at all."
2008 - Her brother got married. Witch found herself a new punching bag and the pressure was off her husband for a while. Her husband got another major promotion. Her brother bought a house. Witch celebrated brother's griha pravesh while her SIL sat on the sidelines, and then she cut a cake for her husband's birthday which was the following week, and every one wished him luck on his new post in the company. Witch said,"Pandit ne kaha tha yeh saal mera bahut achchaa hai."
2010 - Witch's brother & wife had a baby boy whom the witch does not particularly like. Strange, coz, you know, he's only a baby. But anyways, witches are weird so we didn't pay too much attention to that. Witch said,"Let's see how he turns out when he grows up."
2012 - Witch's husband got yet another promotion, a company car, country club membership, the conference in Singapore, the usual frills that announce he's made it to the top. Witch's brother found himself a keep, and bought her a pucca hut near his home. Witch has been busy befriending this woman( buying her clothes, furniture, drapes), who looks like she came off some crude burlesque stage. Witch proudly says,"My brothers are so horny, one woman is simply not enough for them. We are a warm blooded family."
2013 - The witch's husband has turned into a werewolf asking all and sundry if she will be his girlfriend. I hear the witch has been very supportive of his efforts.
I hate to think forward to 2014.
