THANKS FOR PM AUNTY

Roughly 6 hours, Anjali dear. One hour plus for rewatching the two episodes and taking notes of the lines I wanted to use, nearly 4 hours for typing and fine tuning the main post, and one hour for the second piece. See why I cannot do this daily?

Thank you very much, my darling girl. I am delighted that you enjoyed this one so much.And I loved your very mobile shapeshifter of a cat!👏

I had read that article on the horse, it was flagged somewhere at the side in the post page, and I checked it out.

Durdhara cannot be Nandini, my pet. She dies when Bindusara was born, and not even Ekta can change that. Let us see, and in any case, all that is a long way off!

Brilliant work Aunty 👏👏👏

What surprises me the most is your sheer hard work even though writing comes naturally to u...I mean the extra effort u put in to provide more information reg the topic👍🏼

Just curious to know how many hours of meticulous preparation had gone into this writing😃

Aunty, I seriously doubt whether Durdhara will be shown. TOI & other news article mentioned that Tanu Khan wud play the role of Durdhara. But here in the serial she is playing Helena😲

So back to same old question...Nandni is Durdhara?😆

Since u mentioned abt horse riding, lemme share this TOI news article published today!😃

300 horses auditioned & finally they found a perfect horse for Rajat 😆

You want elephant troops in Porus army...😲

Oh no Aunty, CGI mohan is enough, we dont want CGI Baloo ? That is precisely what I had remarked too. But the original Mohan was so good that I thought he was real.

Thank U for these wonderfully informative articles, Shyamala.😳

Great post Aunty,i wonder where ekta found this greek princess,all plastic,lavina was given that role of spoilt bad sehzadi ,well she never grew up unlike smilyes ruk,but I can't watch this helena,and too in love with that roaring eyes of malayketu,poor chandu hes going to be stuck with a rock and deep pit,jaye to jaye kaha hope durdhara is a relief,my poor boy always stuck with crazy women

Will respond later, but just one point re: the mistaken kidnapping theory. It won't work, my dear Ankita. for it will instantly lead to Chandragupta being imprisoned or worse, and the whole plan will flop. It has to be Helena for she is CGM's master key to Alexander's rann neeti.

OK, I have risked a prediction, now let us see what happens.

We start the first course of a mad tea party. 😆 I was laughing when Chandra said Poora magadh yaha upathis hai! Poor boy cant catch a break from this wildcat and her horde. 😆 My replies are in purple below.

The episodes we are getting now are mostly mixed bags. Neither excellent nor bad. The Chandrakya scenes always manage to save the day with their visionary zeal and right pitching! I wish the other scenes were half as well-written!

Helena suits Malayketu as far as chemistry is concerned. A perfect Ram Milayi Jodi! Characters match! Foolish Bravery vs Cowardice Match!
Possessiveness vs Roving Eye match! Age bar Match! How do the CVs think this lady matches my Chandra? Truly inexplicable!

I understood the rabbit bit after watching the episode. Helena as a character is definitely one to watch out for! Moreover how wonderful to have a Macedonian speak Shuddh Hindi in a perfectly intelligible manner! I can readily see the reason for it also.

She has been corresponding all this while with Malayketu who looks perfectly illiterate as far a understanding Letters written in Greek. He would look perplexed with the expression "All this looks Greek and Latin to me!" So the only option Helena must have had for continuing this love affair was learning to write in Devanagari Script and speaking a Shuddh version of Hindi. Otherwise all their love dates would have resembled like a date between two deaf, and dumb lovers!

I wish Nandini gets more layers than what I have seen till now! The Payal putting bit was highly implausible to begin with! I wish to see more than her arrogance, her cloying affection for Daddy dearest, and her playfulness and vivaciousness! I think it is time they explored more of her. She is certainly not going to endear herself either to Chandra or to the viewers doing what she is presently doing on the show.

Her behavior is not royal or princess-like by any standards. But I think that it is more due to the active interest taken by Nand in her upbringing. She is the right upbringing of a wrong common man-turned king! I am waiting for her to sport more of her royalty that comes from Avantika. Her father's is the most predominant influence on Nandini. Her mother rarely touches even the tip of the ice berg as far as she is concerned. So her royal behavior is never on view whenever we observe her behavior impartially.

The pregnant Bhabhi, what can I say? Looks like pregnant ladies always go on tours, pleasure trips, diplomatic visits to neighboring states, and coronation ceremonies, just before their due date in CN Land! Remember Moora! She too did the same!

You have perfectly explained Chandra's behavior in the Greek camp. Your version seems perfectly logical and I am perfectly inclined to go along with it unless the CVs introduce some new and outlandish twists!

The Helena and Nandini sword fight and subsequent friendship bodes no good for one poor boy, the star pupil of Chanakya, Chandra. It is a foreshadowing of what we can expect after the two unions, some fireworks and some genuine warmth and positive emotions.

Aunty what did you think about my previous posts where I expressed certain doubts regarding Dhananand. Do you think any sister of Chandra will make an entry? There was a fleeting mention of her and Chandra's maternal uncle in the initial episodes.

Regarding army, I think I heard right when Chanakya was mentioning that they indeed had an army of some sort to begin with. I hope he is not talking of his students at Taxilla. They would need something really concrete to begin with! An army of mercenaries at least!

If it is that, they would need funds to finance that army. Is Chandra going to go about like Robin Hood robbing the Magadh Royal treasury, or looting the officers, Sena Nayaks, and Ministers in Padmanand's cabinet, and from other kings in the nearby Janpads?

I fail to understand how Parvatak and Padmanand are chumming up with the Macedonians when they must be knowing that they are under threat after the fall of Porus! They seem to be completely blind and highly overconfident! Aunty thank you for posting that informative post on the Battle of Hydaspes! Loved reading your post!
