All the characters of this event are fictional but the possibility is there that they may exist in reality.
Place – home of a middle-aged family.
Time – When the ongoing cold war between the spouses overstepped the boundaries of debate (?) and deliberation (?) and slowly transformed into a hot argument or fight.
By this time the wife had already deposited the real and original issue of the Cold War in the bank of mind for the next time use (that also with interest) and the husband had already climbed the Everest of his anger (though his anger does not have any relevance or importance).
Neither of them was ready to drop the weapon. The discussion cum debate had already reached the boundaries of measuring each other’s “wisdom and smartness”, by transcending each other’s family’s nature, talent, behavior, and quality. At this point, the husband calmly took out his “Ace card” and suggested let’s decide “who is more clever and smart” by asking questions of “General Knowledge”. (Only “to suggest” was his right or domain). This time wife also immediately accepted the suggestion.
The husband was happy and thought he already won the war with this trick. He was ready with his masterstroke plan. He thought he will start with easy questions like “Who is the current President of India?” And after this, if required only then will ask tough questions.
Just by thinking about “General Knowledge”, (in mind) he declared himself a winner and handed over the trophy to himself, and started celebrating. Without showing his happiness on his face, he politely gave chance to his wife to ask the first question. He asked her to start the match by asking the question of “General Knowledge” and started smiling.
Wife threw her first (and last) “General Knowledge” question to husband, “Name any one season’s winner of Big Boss”.
After hearing this, the husband felt he got out “hit wicket” or claimed self-goal in a crucial match.
The husband lost to his “Big Boss”, since then it’s 105 days he is eagerly searching the “Big Boss” house…
