From a picnic, trek, climbing trees for guavas, drawing tattoos to discussions on current topics of privatizing public banks to comparing Indian and Chinese growth/economy....fun, light hearted to some light discussion on current topic😘

I liked how you have etched Kirti..a product of circumstances...there is insecurity, a bitterness and a lethargy in trying to fight today change her circumstances. Hopefully she will ponder on her conversation with Nishit..specially his comment about Jharkhand (herself) and need to be proactive in doing somethinh rather than blaming the past or circumstances.

 Also her conversation with him about banks/economy was more a dialogue where his probing was more so she would clarify her point and did not hesitate to compliment when he agreed. Never did he take over the conversation or derail the conversation by his own knowledge of the subject 😘

I am assuming you on purpose made Prasanna mix Paul Krugman name with Adam Smith 😊

Also Kirti's mom is not dead like I had assumed just left her family.

I am confused with the junior engineer conversation..so Kirti is not a engineer but has a undergrad degree in Economics ? Also she did not attend college with Nishit then but I thought Shruti remembered him from their college days ?

.

Kirti has a polytechnic degree in Computer Science which is a three year Diploma Course in Engineering. She is a Junior Engineer and not a B.Tech engineer.

Now, since she didn't get a campus placement in her college, she was left jobless. Outside job hunting also didn't help much. She would have to look for job in other places now. To be eligible to sit in government job recruiting examinations, the minimum degree one requires is a graduation degree. In most of the cases. So she did a BA to be eligible for these exams.

She had enrolled in a correspondence course of IGNOU. It is an open university that provides you a college as your centre where you can attend counselling classes, go and do practicals, assignments submissions, exams all will happen there. Basically it becomes your college even if you aren't actually a student of that college in a true sense. So, naturally if it is Nishit's college, and she attends the sessions from time to time, she's bound to meet him.

I will (patiently) wait for that day when we get to know what was going through Nishit's mind on this day - right from the bus stop till the time he found those forgotten frangipanis in his pocket. That man is as much a mystery to us as he is to us - banda sochta kuch hain, bolta kuch hain aur karta kuch hain!

This chapter had so many moods, and I enjoyed every one of them. Highs of Ekadashi & lows of Amavasya - this update had it all. Loved the arguments between Nishit & Kirti and also loved the growing closeness between Biplab & Prasanna. Laughed out loud when the brother was smuggling all things dear to his sister, to his lady love and how the sister could foresee a very tragic end of being homeless & penniless. But fikr not Kirti...Bhabhi ne clip liya, toh uske Bhai ne pen bhi toh diya 😉 I don't think the pen will be returned any time soon. It is as close to this person as the umbrella is to the other. 

Also loved the conversation about dreams and the tattoo drawings. Looks like Nishit did not want the moment to end, and that man gives eclairs as fees!! Sold 😍

Nishit's long list of accomplishments made Kirti feel worse about her current situation. I could really understand her frustration & disappointments. She has been struggling for quite a while now. While peers and friends have achieved what they had set out to, she is still stuck in a rut. A lot of that can be attributed to the fact that she had to make certain decisions & choices to fulfill her responsibilities, but one cannot deny that after a while she did stop trying. She is afraid of failure, she is afraid of letting down her Dadi and she is afraid of taking risks. For instance, she has given up on the coaching class job even before giving the interview. Nishit's words seems to have given her the much needed confidence and drive to try harder. She has the potential, she just needs to believe in herself and Nishit's praise seems to have helped her do just that. Well, atleast it was helping up until that goddamn phone call, after which everything went south at the speed of light. I have a feeling Nishit & Mithila's relation is not what meet's our eyes. Kirti's eyes, to be precise. They may have been dating, but my guess is they aren't at the moment. Mithila's call acted as a wake up call for Kirti...din toh gazab ka tha, but momentarily she had forgotten that the song ends with - phir bhi jaan-e-jaan, main kahan aur tum kahan.

The chapter was deliciously long and I feel like I am missing many things that I wanted to say when I was reading. Will be back if I think of something else.

I loved reading this deliciously long and detailed comment as well. ❤️

That song connection of main kahan tum kahan you made was a witty stroke. I had forgotten how it ends. 

I hope Bhai bas pen par na ruk jaye and aur bhi bahot kuch de...woh alag baat hai Kirti le na lein 

Till then both of them can listen to mera kuch samaan tumhare paas hai... 😆

" Bhai bas pen par na ruk jaye and aur bhi bahot kuch de...woh alag baat hai Kirti le na lein " Maybe he should give her something she can't refuse. His ❤️ for instance 🙃😇😍

Turkish dramas are good but the only problem is they are too long. Some 1 to 2 hours of a single episode and the total episodes stretching over, 100-200. 

My mother has fallen into this rabbit hole of Turkish dramas. She had started with Urdu dramas and then on same Urdu channels they have dubbed Turkish dramas as well. The good thing about dubbed ones is that they have been broken into smaller episodes so as daily source of entertainment it's good. At least much better than the nothing to offer ITV.

Since we are talking about Turkish dramas and men who can emote with their eyes, let me stick a video here 😆

That video has stuck! Guess now toh I will have to watch it. YT has the English subtitles one. Is the Hindi dubbed version available anywhere else?

Since it's still airing so no Hindi dubbed version. English subtitles also, aren't up to date.  But because it is popular, it will be done, as far as I feel. They dub all the popular ones.

There are others though that created quite a stir on the internet.

Ab kya hi kahein! Desh jis durgati par nikla hai...there's new low to be seen everyday. There was a comedian sent to jail for a joke he never performed. A friend of his who also had been put in jail for the same reason, his story was published yesterday. I felt so sad reading it. An orphan and a guardian figure for a younger brother...how his life has changed since he has returned from prison! Working as a labourer, fine he will bear that but the ostracism that he faces from his own people, friends, how's that trauma going to be healed. All this for a joke that was never told.

The other read a quote, There's freedom of speech alright but nobody guarantees the freedom after the speech. 

I read it. What an apathetic lot we are! Durgati is probably a mild term. When did we become this insecure, hypocritical?

Today I was scrolling through YT and it recommended me a video. I was reminded of you. Since, you've watched Little Bride, I will recommend you to watch Japanese drama, Love Lasts Forever. It's funny and OTT. Not to be taken seriously and good for a time pass. Though, the girl starts out as this very silly infatuated girl but she grows on you and they flesh out her character giving it more depth. 

I am leaving a VM here for you.

Thank you for the suggestion. Will watch it. Currently, I am in the process of watching this Chinese historical saga, The Rebellious Princess. It is all about Political machinations with a romantic plot at its core, set during some imperial period. Though, I think it is fully fictional. So far, it is interesting but at 68 episodes, I wonder if I will have the patience to sit through it. Anyways, let's see. 

I haven't caught up with the story in a couple of days.  Shall do that now.

Woah!! Looks like I will be busy for a long time 😁

Thanks for taking the time to provide all the links. I prefer the dubbed version to subtitles only because it allows me to multitask. Speaking of subtitles, do you watch Korean dramas?

Does Nishit realize how snobbish he sounds in 'A Tiff of Sorts'? Though he does go on to explain that it is the lack of disability-friendly buses that led him to protest rather than a disdain for public transportation, somehow his initial reaction had me reading it in a disgust-filled voice.

Biplap's dramatic rescue had my heart go thump-thump. If there was ever a candidate for hero material, then it is Biplap. I do hope he is cognizant of how his actions may seem to a sheltered, disabled girl and reciprocates her dhak-dhak's to an extent. 

On another note, has it been revealed in the previous chapters what caused Prasanna's disability? Had she been born without the use of her legs or was it caused by an illness. I am sure this has no bearing on the story at all, but I was just curious that you had a character that was disabled and that led to me wondering about her legs and the lack of their use.

I love how you brought out the complete disregard India has for disabled people. Nowhere I remember seeing disability-friendly buses or trains while growing up. Of course, it's been years since I've been on any Indian public transport and things may have changed now (at least, according to the Malayalam movie 'Bangalore Days', it has. If you haven't watched this one, I highly recommend it.)

I feel this chapter revealed another layer of Nishit. I actually saw him as not just an overprotective brother, but as a person who loved his sister deeply and wanted to protect the loved one from imagined, and perceived hurt. Woe betide Biplap if he ever hurts one hair on Prasanna's head. 

|slapping my forehead| Oh God!! Kirti's dimaag toh teez daudti hai par in the opposite direction!!!

Imagine putting the image of Nishit and her being siblings into his head 🤢 

Hai re Nandkisore!!!!

I loved the chapter 'A 90s villain. The connection I am sure was felt when Nishit opened up about his thoughts and feelings a bit. And Of course, it ended on a sour note. 

'You are sick! If you'd allow me to remind you, you picked me up twice the other day. You were helping me, right? No ulterior motive, was there?'

This sentence cracked me up, then led me to wonder if she was really that clueless or she was fishing. For some reason, I am leaning towards her really being that clueless. 

They have the chemistry, no doubt! Now, I want to see how they work it out.  

I loved the chapter ending with him resting his head on her shoulder too. And what song was it? I can't seem to place the song with these lyrics.
