Dear Maria (if I may),
This is the first time I am visiting this forum, though I have watched BALH since its inception. I just wanted to congratulate you on such a superbly comprehensive and accurate update of yesterday's episode. It is not easy to do such write ups day after day, and then you are so thorough as well, so it is no wonder the forum members appreciate you so much.
This said, what I enjoy in BALH these days, besides Peehu and that cheeky little boy back in Mumbai, is the spectacle of Rajat Kapur looking so sheepish and at a loss when trying to forge a relationship with Pooja/Priya. It just goes to show that love turns even a mature, self-possessed man of the world into a bumbling novice!
Incidentally, how does Priya explain to DJ the need for her to change her name to Pooja ? That has not, to the best of my knowledge, been shown on screen as yet.
As for being irritated at this hide and seek game, I don't mind it, for the spell of sheer idiocy when Priya was shown trying to divorce Ram and get a hefty divorce settlement was SO bad that anything else seems acceptable in comparison. Besides, as soon as the two meet, BALH will have to wind up pretty quickly, and one can hardly expect that, after all the trouble taken by Balaji over this 5 year leap and all the shooting in Dubai, can one? In fact, I fully expect Ram Kapoor to be called back to India for a business emergency any day now, so that the Rajat-Pooja track can make some progress in peace. After all, the IPL is not due till next April, and he has all the time in the world till then. Not that he is going to get anywhere in the end, poor Rajat!
