Certain characters that are annoying, that are endearing, that are awe inspiring, that are quirky.

Nimboli is highly irritating character with her lies, cries. Harki should have taped her mouth too.

I liked Mangala's attitude and her justified anger against lying Nimboli.

Nimboli will remain the most irritating character inspite of every good thing she will do.

Akheraj's one glance speaks volumes. What an actor! He can change his expressions in no time and that too convincingly.

Only Kamli still nurtures revengeful feelings and she will be an avenger.

Nimboli has not learnt from her experiences and knows that Akhera and Harki always give very harsh punishments. But I did not find her cries irritating. Even grown ups would have found the punishment too hard to bear silently. But I liked the fact that nobody tried to stop Harki - Nimboli did something that deserves punishment - both Mangala and Urmi were shocked but did not interfere.
I liked Mangala's attitude - now Nimboli should know (if she is ready to learn from experience) that teesa will not always save her, that teesa too will be angry with her lying repeatedly. But Mangala does have a soft heart - she was not sleeping (like Harki, Akhera and Kundan) - though I could not hear what she was thinking during night.

Urmi is also a drama queen, but she did remember the goodness of Nimboli. She also was not sleeping and went to help Nimboli.

And this Chagni is like Makhan kaka of BH - she is the permanent resident servant but hardly does anything - because we see Nimboli doing all the work and even Harki cooking. Chagni is there during serving the meals though😆.

Nimboli's lies got caught.
But it looks more like she is being punished for lying rather than bunking school.

Nobody is really interested in knowing what has lead to this behavior.

I didn't really feel sorry for her but it is a bit too harsh.

She will not learn from punishments as long as no one really makes efforts to tell her why and how she went and wrong and what are the consequences.

She finds a way to minimise the pain when she is beaten or locked up or tied up or starved or someone else who are equally disgruntled with Akheraj and Harki will come to her help.

She was already trying to free herself from that rope and telling herself that this time Maasa has made the knots too tight.

This time it is Urmi.next time it may be someone else.

Things will not change with that girl as long as the household remains same.
--------------------
VO is interesting though it talks about relationships taking a different turn when truths tumble out misunderstandings get cleared.
In Utmi and Nandini's case it looks like misunderstandings seem to have cleared so the relationship took a different turn.
Would want to see if these two girls manage to change Kundan.

nandini irritating not only with her lies cries but her way of speaking is also irritating .sometime nandini voice and her body language is also irritating

nandini seems to have take mangala kindness lightly she would have thought what ever big mistake I will make, teesa will always protect me but it is good mangala does not fall in nandini tears .this time nandini really deserve punishment

and more over nandini derseve punish ment because she is saying lying to those people who help nandini .

nandini fooling lieing kishore who help her by giving note book .nandini lieing to mangala who use to protect nandini and even support nandini education

nandini did big mistake by fooling lieing to kishore mangala who protect help support nandini when nandini facing tough situation. and moreover nandini has taken mangala forgiveness lightly hence nandini this time nandini does not deserve forgiveness but deserve punishment

Yes she should be punished for lying.
But punishments alone will not teach a child how to differentiate right from wrong.

It is not just enough to tell them that lying is wrong through punishment.

Some people who are scared of punishments may stop repeating the mistake or find ways not to get caught repeating the same thing.

Here Nandini is not scared of punishments anymore. So she will continue to do so. Worst thing will be to cover one lie she will tell another lie to escape punishment.


They will beat her up or give her some other punishment if they catch her lie and what about the times when she manages to fool them with her lies?

Mangala did not give her punishment. Mangal does tell her why lies are wrong - or a lecture from someone particular is necessary to make everyone understand? Kishore also was not harsh on her. Any other child in Nimboli's place could have understood by now. Nimboli is too stubborn and likes fooling others.

Harki and Akheraj gave her punishment and every time it is Harki and Akheraj who gave her punishments.
Their punishments most of the time are out of proportion to the act that she has committed.


Very rarely was she punished unnecessairily. The girl also knows when she will get punished and for what kind of acts she will get punished.

But still she does them because no one has told hher why she should do those things. If she is not scared of punishments the people who professs to care for her should find way to look into her behaviour.

Looking into behaviour doesn't need education it is all about observing the child and her behavioural pattern and people who are with her 24/7 and if they care for her should try to figure this out.

Good that the teacher didn't find her at fault for bunking and left the door for her.Hopefully he will be a better guide for her.

The girl always used to tell lies.
Only after her encounter with a witch in forest did she get to know that telling lies is wrong and nose swells up.

But it did not stop her from telling lies when she was trying to protect Kamili and Gopal.

Then when she saw how Akheraj lied to the police that's when she lost fear of telling lies.His nose did not swell up.

She stood up to Akheraj for truth? What happened? Wasn't she standing up for truth when she was beaten up? Why should she stick to truth and still get punished?

At that time when Mangala told her thta she should not tell truth unless the time is right. She interpreted that as burying the truth is as bad as lying. So she might as well lie.

The same lady went on to buy kachoris and made Urmi believe that Nimboli prepared with them with her lies.

Do any of them have any moral rights to punish her in that household?
