Ding-dong the bells were gonna chime

When in walked her mother; and created such a bother

That there simply aint no way; for pete's sake there simply aint no way

They're gettin' to the temple on time!

(for those who remember, this is to the tune of 'I'm gettin married in the mawnin' - Poppa Doolittle in 'My Fair Lady')

Hey ho, way to go - Papa Sethis's out of his semi-somnolent state! So it's only right that someone else's head be in a daze (probably in sync with the Delhi winter fog) ... nothing that a good shake wouldn't help dissipate ... Wake up Simi!!!! Wake up will ya!!!! Over the last 2 weeks, between the collective tears shed on KB, I wonder if there's enough liquid to help with Delhi's perpetual water shortage? Even poor Abhi's caught the infection!!

I love the part where a child is shown to be completely incapable of understanding a parents' motives ... such poor powers of clairvoyance these days!! 'Mili ... you cannot understand me ... not today, not tomorrow, not ever!!' Gee whiz, Pappa-ji, how about giving it a try? I mean, your baby was smart enough to have been one of 9 Delhi kids to be accepted for a special 10 week program at a 'London University', but you're such an Einstein that anything inside your head is beyond her ken?!! And someone's gotta help me with that bit of tortured logic where he avers that had he intervened, Simi would not have found her 'inner strength'?!! Eh?!! Wha?!! Good thing there was a spare iron rod loitering around in the 'operation theater', otherwise her goose was pretty much cooked!! Inner strength, outer strength, sideways strength - all out the window!

Say Sunshiners, could you please do something about the costumes? I don't know of anyone who wears the same style day in day out ... poor Mili has nothing but harem pants (?), sweaters, and scarves and even in the dead of winter when everyone else has socks she's walking around in open-toed shoes!!

Potholes du jour

Slumped in front of the bonfire, cryin' her eyes out ... not a sign of cell phones slummin' around ... but there it was ... in all its glory ... glued to her hand while she ran looking for an escape route at the hospital ... did it do a 'Beam me up Scotty' a la Star Trek?!

Not a single solitary hospital employee within earshot to hear her screams ... and then ... voila ... there's a whole slew of them (say do the nurses actually wear those white hoses?). Then Abhi comes tearing in at break-neck speed (thank goodness he's at the hospital in case he falls and cracks his skull) and runs smack into the one and only attending physician, bypassing reception, and then homes straight to the one and only room where lies his very own Simi ... knocked out ... lost to the world ... I must say that his powers to plot and then follow the right trajectory to locate his beloved rivals any self-guided missile in the possession of the US DoD!! Maybe the trace of pheromones that she left like bread crumbs helped ... y'suppose?

So there he is ... pleading, crying, begging, screaming hoping it will all help rouse her ... she has no problem hearing ... not a single hospital employee does tho' ... are they all out to lunch? No instrumentation to monitor her vital signs ... no nothing ... just a white comforter ... amazing ...

Aw ... almost forgot about this one ... so there was the handkerchief bound to his burnt hand - right? Like that happened 2 days ago ... so, like, by now we can see he's changed into a new set of even uglier clothes ... which means that he must have taken a shower or 2 ... but the handkerchief remains (kinda like Simi's cell phone) ... hey abhi, ol' buddy, ol' pal - now that you're at a 'bona fide' hospital (hah!), would you have them replace that with an honest to goodness gauze bandage?!! 😊

Atleast abhi's tears seem more realistic and go with the situation...But simi herself is responsible for her own tears :)... had she been a little early in telling Pappaji about thier relationship, this day wouldnt have dawned on her....

sunshiners seem to take the people for a ride...first Anu's never-heard symptoms and now RS' wierd logic of letting simi battle it out to prove that her relationship is right... Milli seems to be the only one who still has some logical brain in her...practically eveyeone else in Karol bagh seems to have lost it at some point or the other...

Say Sunshiners, could you please do something about the costumes?

dont even talk about costumes... everyone needs a makeover there in KB... creatives, please start with abhi first thoguh 😉 ... actually thats how it is in pretty much every sitcom...they will show a character wearing the same style of dress throughout the serial....its kind of their trademark...

hehehehe was wondering the same about the hospital scene, about a whole crowd clad in uniforms et all suddenly surging up the scary corridor in a wave of humanity, abt abhi interrogating THE doctor, abt his finding THE room where his lady love lay all still and motionless. Also abt the iron rod hehe. What was an iron rod doing in an operation theatre for god's sake!!
and all those rooms where she went the night before with all those cartons stacked up, didn't it look more like a warehouse or a dump rather than a hospital?? Yesterday I would have bet my life the way the whole thing was depicted that there was not a soul in sight to help out poor poor simi that she was completely trapped and suddenly today lo and behold there are people aplenty who surge forward because she screamed and lunged.
Yes potholes indeed many many many far too many...

Ohnonono ... Pappaji did not know Abhi from Adam back then ... he would never have relented ... besides, even now, for all his concurrence, blessings, etc, much good it's done them ... there's the Ma road-block to deal with (we need to find a pothole large enough to hold her) ... our only hope is that Matarani is going to continue to be a slacker & a complete incompetent at her job, so all of Momma S's 'prayers' are going to fall on deaf ears ... and without her accomplice Matarani, Momma S. is a non-entity ...
its kind of their trademark...
Sad, sad, saaaaaddd!
What was an iron rod doing in an operation theatre for god's sake!!
What?!! You mean you haven't heard?!! Of late, that hospital has been infested with thunder-struck gals who have had to fend off over-sexed thugs warming themselves by a bonfire ... those iron rods have to be kept within arm's distance for any situation!
didn't it look more like a warehouse or a dump rather than a hospital??
That's exactly what I thought too ... then when she's running down the hall into a dead-end and runs into that gurney, I'm like "hunh?! she's at a hospital?! Where the hell is the hospital staff?!!" But of course, I'm asking for waaay too much realism ... stupid me!!
Yes potholes indeed many many many far too many...
Ah yes!! Let's see ... should we all get into a 2.64 wheeled vehicle for an interesting ride?!

Even poor Abhi's caught the infection!!

but he looks soooooooooooooooooo cute when he cries........ such kaha na maine all of u abhi ki bhains?? 😆

I mean, your baby was smart enough to have been one of 9 Delhi kids to be accepted for a special 10 week program at a 'London University'

God Dipa watch some desi movies woman......... this is the same as the hero always getting "first class first" ( its either first class or "might as well fail class" as far as i know yeh first class first kya hai??)........ or if u had the misfortune to watch any rakesh roshan movies, the guy was always a med student... MBBS third yr ka student 😃........ it doesnt mean anything.

but you're such an Einstein that anything inside your head is beyond her ken?!!
what else could they have the poor sod do except give the equivalent of "thats an interesting question" while the "creatives" all the peaces😉 together and tried to make sense of them??

Say Sunshiners, could you please do something about the costumes? I don't know of anyone who wears the same style day in day out ... poor Mili has nothing but harem pants (?), sweaters, and scarves and even in the dead of winter when everyone else has socks she's walking around in open-toed shoes!!

u know the min mili comes on screen i take a really close look at her to try and find if she wears tshirts on shalwar ya phir kya hai woh kapde......... yeah ok u can wear it like that but only when the night dress pants ur wearing have tweety bird on 'em and ur in a huge rush to get two sleepy kids to school on time........ besides as long as u dont get out of the car........ who knows?? 😆

as to all your potholes regarding MERA abhi......... ab tum to uski bhains ho so naturally u will notice all these things, i was so enthralled by his gorgeousness ki bus mujhe to har jagah wohi nazar aa raha tha........ even rani ke dream mein hum dono nazar aa rahe the usko 😆
even if he wasnt wearing his superman tshirt, hes still all powerful.....

Hehehehe sweetie but I must admit that I feel abhi's acting kind of on the weaker side when he starts crying and all and his voice gets all shrill and breaks etc he almost sounds like a wimp to me and then I quickly chase these thoughts away because I also adore him you see lol lol.

Why just love?? i dont think science can explain any human emotions perhaps because there is no place in science for human idiosyncrasies.

Dipa I await ur patthar with bated breathe

OK ... here come the patthars! BTW - I've had a huge boulder thrown my way! The other post got guillotined for being impertinent, and my warning level was raised (taking any bets how long before it gets to the high water-mark?)! 😆
Say, Mme Moderator: if it's any consolation, I too felt bad for being a tad harsh but had turned off my computer last night before sending off an apology ... will be sending a PM to mesimi (even if her facts remain off kilter) ...
Now ... science and explaining human emotions ... I don't know what you mean by 'explaining', but what do you suppose modern psychology is all about? Furthermore, to suggest that science can never explain something based on current levels of knowledge is a non sequitur ... we live in a physical world, and granted, there are aspects that are absolutely stark raving incomprehensible (like event horizons and black holes) to most of us, but there is nothing to suggest that given enough time we will not understand things in their entirety ... won't happen in our lifetime for sure ... and may never - but only because we would have killed ourselves off before then ...
such kaha na maine all of u abhi ki bhains??
Sub jhoot ... suraasur jhoot!
rakesh roshan movies, the guy was always a med student... MBBS third yr ka student
You mean he always flunked when he got there?
while the "creatives" all the peaces
Ease up on giving off said peaces gal ... you know what happens ... you get stern warnings!!
yeah ok u can wear it like that but only when the night dress pants ur wearing have tweety bird on 'em and ur in a huge rush to get two sleepy kids to school on time........ besides as long as u dont get out of the car........ who knows??
OK ... I'm tasking you with the job of deluging the KB 'creatives' with e-mail to get them to clean up their act in this regard ... see to it will ya! If you succeed, we'll even have a party to celebrate ... your b'day I mean 😉
even rani ke dream mein hum dono nazar aa rahe the usko
Ah is that so?! He's dreaming of you and Rani is it?!! You ... hit them books ... you too need a strong dose of reading medicine!
hes still all powerful.....

Iknow ... I'm going to have to start believing in the existence of a 'higher power' (a taste of which has already been had on this forum ... again!) ...
and his voice gets all shrill and breaks etc
Dunno ... while I thought his reason for sobbing on his mum's expensive sari was a tad bizarre, his rendering of it was fairly well done ... particularly the breaks and tremors in his voice (actually Simi too does a good job of bawling) ... the picture quality on-line is so poor that a bunch of stuff gets lost ... you don't see it until it's shown on the big screen ... there was a bit of pretty good acting when Simi is toying with his feelings at Sethi Nivas and you can tell she's having to really put on a massive act ... the one part where he's staring at her and she's so uncomfortable that her lips tremble as she's forcing the words out and keeping a 'smile' pasted ... very well done ...
