HAPPY MAKAR SANKRANTI AKA PONGAL!!
Folks,
I have resurfaced - always presuming that you had all noticed that I was not around!😉 - to wish you all a very happy Makar Sankranti today, or as we say down South, an auspicious Pongal! May today herald a year ahead that brings you, and all your loved ones, nothing but good.
I spared you any of my periodic effusions for the past 2 weeks as I was not in a position to do one of them. Even had I been able to cope, the material was most dispiriting, bar a few flashes, and a truly lovely opening between our lead pair was squandered to no purpose. Anyhow, after having survived this last week - in which Rajat's Chandra was slumming for the most part, and Shweta's Nandini moved emphatically in the opposite direction - I am keeping my fingers crossed for something better ahead.
Here is my (hopeful!) prediction for the next week.
Chandra, riddled by guilt, will now go looking for Nandini. The precap itself should have put paid to the hopeful theory that he drives her out deliberately hoping that she will lead him to Nand. It is no such thing.
To revert, Nandini, even though she is not weighed down by anything as substantial as Jodha Begum's bronze Kanha😉, would have collapsed artistically under the load of her grief, somewhere outside the palace, still hugging that potli. I would like to know what is inside it.😉
Aunty good to see you back. Hows your health?
Nandini is carrying her old memories as she told chaya
I think Malay will follow and do something to her(as came in news) and then Chandra may not find her
But already the duplicate will come back and take Nnadini place in palace
Nandini may have tough time to prove that she is Nnadini when she comes back
Chandra will miraculously spot her despite having no idea in which direction she has wandered off.😉He will then lug her back to the palace in his patented style, in his arms. He must be a tad out of practice, not having had to do that for days now, not since the exam days at the gurukul in Takshashila, so it will do him some good to get back into carrying form!😆
Next, he will start hanging around her rooms monitoring her recovery while Helena damages her tooth enamel.😉
OK, folks this is it for now, bar two points.
1) Of course there is a Roopa. She is the one with Sunanda in the secret room. Don't even ask how Sunanda togs her out as a duplicate of Nandini, down to the clothes and the jewellery, on a daily basis! Aise prashna uthana varjit hai!😉
2) Those trying to look into the crystal ball and spot an ultra clever tedi chaal on the part of our C&C are, I fear, doomed to disappointment. Both are, I feel, just as gullible as they appear to be. But if it turns out that I am wrong here, nothing would please me more!
As for Chandra's main aim at present, to make Nandini jealous of Helena, what earthly sense does that make when he also clings to the belief that Nandini loves Malayaketu? If that is so, why would she care whom Chandra hangs around with? It is plain nuts, and it makes Chandra look extra foolish, while poor Rajat seems to be risking a case of lockjaw with all that snarling.
And no, I do not feel Chandra has any notion of Helena's convoluted plotting against Nandini. For one thing, she does it rather well, thru clever insinuations that leave an opening for subsequent denials, as in the case of the room allocation, and she is helped by Durdhara's failure to mention the one key point to Chandra, ie that the whole mukut idea was hers.
As for royals making such gifts for their close relatives, instead of commissioning them, that would have depended on the item, and I would think that for things that could have been made inhouse, so to speak, doing it themselves would have been normal, even if the actual sewing and shaping was done by the daasis!
Like i said before chandra and nandini loving each other and their family approving it is tough
atleast here mura and avantika is fine in real history i doubt they would
And then there is guilt i cannot understand how a son can love a lady whose dad cut off his dad head and made his mom a prisoner and lusted after her
and i can never imagine a daughter loving a man who killed her 8 brothers and father (in future)
