Baby Sarasa and Babloo kutty watch Chandranandini epi 49.( Grandma likes to watch any programme about any temple anywhere in India, and hence she is all excited to watch the latest episode of Chandranandini , where Chandra and his latest Queen Nandini are to be shown visiting a Hill temple. Shyamala had already warned everyone that Chandra is to lug Nandini to the Hilltop temple to fufil the mannath of his 'instant' grandma. Baby Sarasa sits and watches the episode with Babloo.)Babloo: Baby'kka... Is this the new serial?Baby: No Babloo.. it comes in TV for sometime.. but grandma didn't 'llow us to watch it ...Babloo: But how come we are 'llowed now?Baby: That's because they are going to show the temple..Well, they did show one shot of the temple, but as it was inside a cave, Baby darling, I am afraid Grandma is going to be disappointed!😉Babloo: Do you know Hindi 'kka?Baby: No.. but we'll try to guess ..Babloo: But will you tell me what is going on?Baby: Okay...Now this is splendidly illogical, my pets! First Baby guesses what is going on and then she is going to tell Babloo so that they can both guess together? 😆G'ma: If you go on talking like this, how can I watch the show?.. you stay quiet..Babloo: Grandma.. can we go and watch it in the other TV in your room?G'ma: Nothing doing.. you will meddle with my things in my room.. You stay here.. I will go there..I want to see the episode in a peaceful atmosphere..( She leaves and goes to her room and locks the door).Akka, if you locked yourself in, how did the kids get in later? Aha! Caught you in a goof up in the narrative! I think you only thought that you had locked it. Never mind, hota hai! It happens to me all the time, I forget whether I put the bag out for the milk in the morning!😆Baby: Babloo.. I will tell you the story, but you shouldn't disturb me in between..Babloo: No 'kka..I won't..Don't you believe him, Baby kanna! He is a confirmed chatterbox, and I cannot imagine him keeping quiet even for a moment!😉( The episode opens with Chandra and Durdhara talking...)Babloo: Why is he walking like this 'kka?Babloo kutty, he is exercising to train his legs for the climb!😆Baby: He is also talking..Babloo: What is he saying?Baby: He says something about Nandini and grandma..Babloo: Who is Nandini and how does he know about our grandma? He didn't even see her when he came to the hospital to see me ...Our Babloo kutty is marvellously self-centred. Everything had to relate to him and revolve around him!😉Baby: You silly boy! It is not our grandma.. It is his grandma..Babloo: Okay.. Okay..Why is the girl looking comic..?Baby: Yes she speaks like the Javeda girl in Jalal uncle's serial..This is an insult to Javeda, and I protest, Baby darling.😆 Javeda never overacted as much as this female does, and she would never have been pushing poor Chandra towards that Nandini!Babloo: Look 'kka.. that girl says something and uncle walks fastly and goes..Fastly! Lovely!! I am going to note it down in my little book of Bablooisms, along with 'leventeen, igriment, dearmost, and a whole lot else, ending with this fastly!( Helena enters the room)Baby: She is Helena..Babloo: How do you know? She is having grey hair like our grandma. Is she Chandra uncle's Grandma?Baby: I don't know.. But grandma said that Shyamala aunty told her his grandma is fat..Correct and to the point. Baby kutty! If there is one thing Helena is not, it is fat.She is something quite different, but that is meant for your grandma, not for you kids!😉Babloo: Baby'kka! This girl takes a knife.. Is she going to kill the comic girl..?Baby: I don't know.. Let us watch..No such luck, I am afraid, kids.😉 If only Helena had got rid of the comic girl before they all got to the temple hill, and spared us from having to watch her make an even greater fool of herself there,😡I would have given Helena a medium sized medal!( The scene shifts to the hill side, where the Royal family is ready to start the adventure.. Chanakya is seen giving instructions to some persons)Babloo: Hayy... The bald head grandpa.. He came here to our hospital..Baby: He is saying some important thing to them..Babloo: What does he say 'kka?Baby: Don't know.. we'll ask grandma later..Babloo: Look Baby'kka, Chandra uncle's grandma is there..Baby: Yes.. she is not like our grandma..Babloo: Look ..Uncle is lifting that girl.. What is her name?Baby : Nandini.. There is a girl called Nandini in my class..Babloo: There is no one in my class by that name..Baby: Babloo... Chandra uncle is not able to carry her...Babloo: She must be very heavy..Baby: He must have weighed her before that..Yes, darling, but he did try. He told his grandma the night before that he would die if he had to carry such a heavy girl up the hill.😉 But his grandma simply would not listen. Not all grandmas are as sweet and sensible as yours, you know!Babloo: Uncle is scolding her... wait wait.. uncle ..uncle.look... careful... there is a big stone there...( shouts)Well, Babloo, I do wish Chandra uncle had stumbled and let that welterweight of a wife of his tumble all the way down the hill and land plumb on top of that stupid grandma of his. She would have been squashed flat, which would have served her right!Baby: You silly Babloo.. why are you shouting? he won't hear you..Babloo: 'kka.. I am bored... We'll go and see what grandma is doing..Baby: yes.. we will watch the episode with her..( They go inside grandma's room..)Babloo: Grandmaaa!😲😲( Grandma is sleeping soundly on the sofa.. Rajat is carrying Shwetha , struggling to climb the hill, cursing the Director...)Poor guy, even with short takes, it must have been quite a lot of strain. But Akka, how come you fell asleep so soon? Didn't even wait for the grand finale as they stagger into the cave!😆Karkuzhali.

I dont know about CN aunty, but am falling hook, line and sinker for Baby and Babloo!❤️
Saraswathy aunty (i should call her aunty too right) has better story lines than of EK's writers. And it proves taht even sensible story can be so catchy...dont have to be idiotic😡And to think that they are actually not real! Which is really regretful
About the episode.
Firstly i enjoyed Rajat's comics...when he asked his grams where is the temple, and his (as you said) running commentary. I liked the part when he applied the sindoor too. I could not quite name the expression until I read your comments when you used brooding'. (I digress here - Brooding ALWAYS reminds me of Mr.Darcy! Darcy or Darcy...and what do you think if Rajat were to play Darcy? He would pull it off quite well I suppose). And Nandini with her eyes closed...and when she opened it, not that larger than real open eyes, but one that looks at her patidev, holding his brooding eyes with her own hypnotized eyes.
For a brief moment I expected Nand to jump in and spoil the moment (as you know the general style of the serials), whence I swear I would have run out screaming like a loony. Thank god no Nand and fellow citizens were spared of mad Anne!
I think Aunty Dhurdhara was dropped on the head as a child. She is motherless and the pot bellied-money counting dad probably didn't know what to do with her. Chanakya clearly said that the heir should be offspring of Dhurdhara (of course marrying Nandini was not part of the plan then). She is the only one who had (whether they still have, I cannot guess cos I don't know which husband can put up with that amount on nonsense chatter procreate for the survival of the species or not!) a conjugal relationship with him so far. And in 450BC that would make her a wife in all sense of the world. So her eagerness of trying to glue him to Nandini does not make any sense to me especially after him clearly telling her that he hates Nandini.
And this Dadi too. If its their parambara, then why not start with Helena, After all she is the first wife. And its not as if Helena and Dhurdara married Chandra in the earlier century. It appears as if he married them within few months of each other...even weeks of each other. So if Dadi is going to be going all gaga over the new dhulhan, so is Helena and Dhurdhara.
I felt a twang of pain when Helena said only Nandini is the daughter in law, I am like nobody'. And she is rightly so, isn't it? Despite Chandra's stand off with her in which he told her he is king because of Chanakya, the reality is that she too had played a part in putting him on the throne. However, small it is in the eyes of C, the fact remains she did help. If everyone is now euphoric that Chandra is the king of Magad, then one should also give Helena the respect and acknowledgement she deserves.
I suppose, the must be using the same sets as JA so the Hamida Syndrome has infected the waters. For everyone is only able to see ONE bahu.
Right now, more than the return of Aapama I wish the vanishing of Dhurdhara!

You will soon feel the same, I guarantee that.And as for the main post, I know that you have read most of it already on the earlier thread - which is the problem with doing midi-posts and then opting for a regular one! - but do think of something ifor this thread too, n your vintage style, to make me laugh, there is my good girl!😉Shyamala Aunty

Questions:
-One presumes that the letters from Satyajit were all addressed to Chhaya by name, actually as Vaishali, a name that Chandragupta would have known about. Similarly, her farewell letter to him should have had her name at the end.
Chandragupta reads all those letters as soon as he seizes them from Nandini. How then does he not realise at once they were all letters exchanged between Chhaya and Satyajit?
Aiyaa, aunty - this is BC, lovers probably would have started their letter with ' my love/my life/my sweet/my soul/my this and my that.
and ended with your longing lover/your heartbeat/your moon/your this and that
-Why do they wrap Chandragupta constantly round with heavy brocade uttareeyams (male dupattas) that cover the left shoulder? It makes him look broader and shorter. Now that he does not look as khaata peetha as he did in the Jodha Akbar hamaam scenes that you gals used to delight in, and has in fact become really trim, why does he have to go about looking like this?
Because they dont want the husbands of the wives watching CN to sue the channel over wives going ecstatic over another male's muscles
The kind of excessive abs show favoured by Padmanand is ludicrous, but why can't Chandragupta dress like Malayaketu does?
See my reply above
-Why do the Nand women all look like dyed in the wool criminals caught red-handed whenever Chandragupta or Mura come into their rooms, and this with a formal announcement that gives them enough lead time to compose themselves? Have they no idea of what a keeping a straight face means?
They all had teh same mime artist explaning the 'situation to them'. It would go like this:
MA: Ok, ladies the scene is Mura/Chandra entering your room. the entry will be announced. And you now feel your heartbeat racing and your brain freezes.
Nand women folK; Thik hai master ji. SO what we do next?
MA: now look carefull at my face and you do the same look. Ok ready
Nand women folk; Ok, Ready
MA:
- Why this steep decline in Chhaya's character and her overall utility to the plot? It is dumbfounding and saddening. She was, apart from everything else, so good-looking when she was first introduced, and now look at her! Now that she has been duly married off, I hope she disappears to the jewellery shop in Vaishali.
No hope as she has tagged along to piplivan, with even more deteriorating hair do. Why do they all have to have this bad hairstyles? At least JA had the woman looking prettier. Here even the pretty ones are made to look bad. Is this some kind of mental game?
-What about Sunanda and the Great Secret she has that Padmanand was so keen to get hold of? I hope she does not do a vanishing act and take that along with her. I have not spotted her for a while now.
OK, folks, this is it for now. I can practically hear you breathing a sigh of relief! 😉
