Get thee behind me, you mischievous imp! I want nothing of all this nautanki. You could soon join the CVs brigade by the looks of it!😆

I have been promised by none other than the director of this benighted serial that the hero will rescue the heroine in a most dramatic fashion, and that is what I am waiting for. 😉If I were inclined towards determined optimism, I would say that the whole Mughal-e-Azam spiel was meant by Chandra to catch the culprit or culprits, but I do not see how he could have worked that, and extracted Nandini from the rear of that compartment, in his present state, and with no time to think up and implement such a plan either.

Meanwhile, count your blessings that you are not likely to get a remix of Filmistan's 1960 (or thereabouts)Anarkali, where Pradeep Kumar, as Salim, dragged himself on his stomach all the way to that wall! And the audiences wept and applauded, while I, even at that very young age, gnashed my teeth.

Also that Nandini contented herself with a nirjal upavaas to save Chandra's life, instead of the CVs getting ideas from The Da Vinci Code, and having her flagellate herself.😉

Actually it is the CVs who need to be horsewhipped for inflicting such cruel and unusual punishment on us, and on Nandini and Helena for those horrible and endlessly repeated outfits. Helena has only 2, the white and the maroon, and I cannot understand how they are not both in tatters by now. As for Nandini, that blue and pink confection of hers makes me want to climb a wall.😡

Yesterday, the standout bit was the bone weariness Rajat infused into Chandra's voice in the court scene, and even earlier when he was getting out of bed. It was a remarkable display of voice control, of a kind he has never before had a chance to explore, and he pulled it off splendidly.

It was strange to see Kanha materialise, in a solid bronze incarnation, out of the blue in Nandini's rooms, or are they Chandra's rooms? Any such mini temple needs daily pujas, and not once were we shown Nandini doing anything of the kind till now. Nor any other member of the palace lot, come to think of it. All they did was to sit around at havans. There was no puja niche even in the hut at Pataalgram.

Now suddenly you have a gorgeous bronze Kanha - though he was not addressed as such, probably to differentiate him from Jodha Begum's ishta devata😉- complete with an enormously long flute that reminded me of nothing so much as the Alpine horn that Swiss men compete in blowing. 😉I think they made sure they did not reuse the birthday gift of a lovely bansuri that Jalal gave Jodha!

I liked the bit where Nandini talks Helena out of strangling her. It was a rare display of commonsense working.

I too agree with you, Aunty. Poison therapy perhaps meant he would survive from poison attacks not that he wouldn't be affected even to the slightest degree by it. Anyways Chanakya was going to feed it to him in very minute and mild doses. We never know the kind of impact a major and potent poison was going to have.


I haven't seen the recent episode but from what I get to understand on reading a few posts, Roopa has escaped, Badi Maa keeps mum, Chandra has ordered the walling of Nandini. One or two hours after this is fully accomplished, Chaaya wakes up and spills the beans. Sunanda is imprisoned. Helena and Aapma go scotfree so that they can create more mischief.

Chandra rushes to break the wall with his own hands. Nandini will be in her last breaths. She will be very serious. Chandra will move heaven and earth to save her. He will be in a deeply self-condemnatory mood that he didn't investigate properly and though the signs and clues were there, he simply ignored them.

In the meantime, Chanakya would meet with an eloping Roopa and make an offer to her to take her to Nand so that she can have her revenge. As an additional inducement, he would offer to get her married to Chandra. Roopa will stab Nand and kill him, while he stabs her in return. Or else, after her work is done, Chanakya cleverly gets rids of her. Another possibility is he leaves her high and dry and says that he never meant to keep up his promise of getting married to Chandra, leaving the possibility of the return of Roopa sometime in future into Chandini's lives to create havoc again.

The most high possibility for now is Chanakya's daughter needing saving by Chandra who has to marry her now for some odd reason. So the mother and daughter will remain behind to create confusion and problems for Chandini. Even if Chandra does not ultimately marry her, this storyline is going to run to its last reel before that marriage is prevented.

Chandra will be madly in love with Nandini, and Nandini for some odd reason is going to shun him because she promised it to Chanakya's wife that she would not get close to Chandra. Though the initial part of this prediction is alright with me, the latter part of this prediction is not at all soothing or pleasing to even contemplate. It promises to be full of melodrama and I dread to see that playing out.

The most dramatic thing THIS Chandra can do is break the bricks one by one weeping all the time and reminding himself of his lost and found hriday at every tear fall.😡

If I were inclined towards determined optimism, I would say that the whole Mughal-e-Azam spiel was meant by Chandra to catch the culprit or culprits, but I do not see how he could have worked that, and extracted Nandini from the rear of that compartment, in his present state, and with no time to think up and implement such a plan either.

Wall is constructed on all 4 sides and surely Chandra could not have constructed an underground tunnel at such a short notice. And such dimaag ki batti from Chandra's poor brains!!!


Also that Nandini contented herself with a nirjal upavaas to save Chandra's life, instead of the CVs getting ideas from The Da Vinci Code, and having her flagellate herself.😉

Chandra is the one going to do a Silas for having done the ghor apradh of not reading Nandini's eyes and going by witnesses and circumstanial evidences and convicting her. Chanakya will then rush to instruct him to stop and Nandini will bring the lep to heal his torn skin bringing in a fresh dose of tears and apologies.

Now it is your turn! Get thee behind me, you conniving little wretch! 😆

Like Ulysses' sailors, or Shiva Raje in that lovely little scene last night, I am from now on going to plug my ears against such dismal prognostications. Oh dear, I forgot that these are read here, not heard!

By the way, Nandini seems to think Chandra has telescope eyes, and can see the satya in hers at 100 feet!

And for those complaining about the size and relatively less crowded state of Chandragupta Maurya's rajsabhas, Aurangzeb's last night was even smaller! But I do wish the Mauryan courtiers would do the triple salaam, of the kind Tara Rani Saheb insists on, not to speak of the Shahenshah-e-Hind, and that all and sundry from the royal family would not address him as Chandra in open court.😡

Akka dearest,

Now this came as a breath of cool, fresh air amidst all the rona dhona that abounds here these days. Lovely stuff, and I cannot decide which I love more - the delightful text or the adorable photos you always manage to conjure up out of, no, not thin air, but the ether!

My comments, as usual, are in blue. Looking forward a lot to seeing you next week,

Affectionately,

Shyamala

Baby Sarasa and Babloo kutty watch the latest episode of Chandranandini.
Image result for pic of a cute little 5 year old girl and a 3year old boy watching laptop
( Baby and Babloo want to watch Chandra uncle serial. But Grandma doesn't allow them to watch it .)
Babloo: Grandma , it is story time now..
Baby: Grandma..today you should tell us a Raja Rani story
Babloo: Grandma.. the story must be 'ntresting!..
Here we have a new Bablooism. He is always focussed on brevity, in consonants or vowels or both!
Baby: Yes..it should have a prince also..
Babloo: Yes..but no princess..
Baby: No grandma , I want princess also..
Babloo: No... princess will cry..
Baby: No ooo..They are brave.. they won't cry..
Babloo: No..Boys will be brave.. they won't cry.. Girls will cry always..
Babloo my pet, you have no idea of the contradictions in which you are about to get entangled. Your Rajat Uncle, aka Chandra, is about to not just cry like a leaky tap, but to literally howl and blubber like a 2 year old Yes, yes, I know that you don't cry, Babloo darling, but then you are three!.😉 I did not like it at all, and neither, my pet, are you going to be able to tolerate it. But since Chandra is undoubtedly a boy, and a brave one, if you go on making such unfounded assertions about boys being brave and not crying, you are going to look very silly. So back off, there is my good boy!
BabY: No..! Grandma.. look at him ..he is bossing over me..
Grandma: Shhh.. kiddoos.. I'll come and tell you story after I watch the Rajat uncle serial..
Baby: Grandma.. we want to watch Rajat uncle serial..
Babloo: Baby'kka , it is big people serial..we are not 'llowed to see it..
Baby: Grandma.. can we watch it today ?
G'ma: Okay okay.. you can watch it with me.. but after that you must go to bed..
Babloo: Will Rajat uncle come in the serial today?
G'am: Yes.. he will come..
Babloo: Is he the prince?
G'ma: No.. he is the King..
Babloo: Baby'kka.. Is the King bigger or the Prince?
Baby: You silly boy.. the prince is King's son..So the King will be bigger..
That is clever, Baby kutty.See, Babloo, she is putting you firmly in your place!😉
Babloo: Will the princess come on TV today?
G'ma: Yes.. she will come..
Babloo: Who is this princess? Is she the king's daughter?
G'ma: No.. she is the King's wife..
Baby: Grandma... you are wrong.. my teacher said that the King's wife is the Queen..
Quite right, my pet. One goal for you! Grandma just forgot about Nandini's elevation!😉
Babloo: How can a princess become a queen?
G'ma: She was a princess originally... but after she married King Chandra, she became the queen..
Babloo: Did she change her name?
G'ma: No.. she didn't change her name.. but she became queen automatically..
Akka,I see that my penchant for long words is catching!😆
Baby: Grandma.. Babloo won't understand what you say..
Babloo: I will understand.. after I ask Shyamala aunty for its meaning.. I'll call aunty...
G'ma: No.. you shouldn't disturb her kutty.. She will be watching TV..
Babloo kanna, you should have called the genie and come here to Pune in an instant, like winking, on the magic carpet. Then you could have watched the serial with me!
Baby: Can we watch Chandra serial with you?
G'ma: Okay..
( They watch the latest episode..)
Babloo: 'kka.. why is Chandra uncle talking to himself?
Baby: He is also crying...
Babloo: Baby'kka.. I don't like boys crying..
Baby: Why ? They can also cry..
Babloo: But that's because, Nandini'kka wanted him to cry..
No, no, Babloo kanna, be honest! He was crying even before she told him he could cry!
Baby: But she didn't ask him to talk when he was crying..
Babloo: May be he wants to say why he is crying..
Now that is exactly what it was, kids, but there was a major problem. He thought he was talking, whereas all he was doing was blubbering, and no one could make out what he was saying at all. Maybe he was copying the techniques of Marlon Brando and Dilip Kumar (ask Grandma who they were, would you?), but it was very hard on the viewers. On top of having to watch him blubbering in a most unsightly manner, they had to strain their ears to try and understand what he was babbling!😡
Baby: Grandma, did she ask him to talk and cry at the same time?
Babloo: Grandma..He is the King.. Why should he cry when the Queen asks him to cry?..
G'ma: That's because his acharyaji ordered him to obey the Chief queen...😆
Akka, no fibbing now! No, kutties, his Acharya - who is a champion MCP- did not tell him any such thing😉. And he did not cry because his queen told him to do so. He was already crying, and after she encouraged him, it only became worse!😆

Dear Aunty, now you amaze me. How the heavens was Chandragupt supposed to pull a trick with all that poison washing and torching treatment really happening behind closed doors? So by the looks of it Chanakya's poison treatment has still not started. He may begin it after this incident perhaps because Durdhara is fated to die that way.

So the director of the serial has promised that Chandra is an NSS cadet now (Nandini Saving Spree)! I doubt if he has been so clever and wily as to spot this whole Roopa deception before itself and kept an underground tunnel escape for Nandini ready behind the wall! He didn't seem to be faking the whole anger, the bone-weariness in the Raj Sabha scene.

So by the looks of it, Chandra is going to catch none of the culprits. They are all going scot-free except perhaps Sunanda because Nandini finally spoke up on her split personality complaint. Chandra has given a false verdict and punishment on the basis of insufficient evidence. Chaaya is going to wake up from coma and testify in favor of Nandini.

Since something dramatic awaits us on the serial, and since we have it from very good sources, the director himself, I wonder if it is Chandra's Dhai Kilo Ka Haath which is going to bring down the wall brick by brick, or if he has had the resourcefulness to bring along with him a few wall breaking instruments like a crowbar or hammer perhaps to bring down the wall?

I see that Deewar Bell Ringing scene swimming before my eyes and Chandra having an argument with Vidhata to save Nandini! Aunty, as far as all this Nautanki goes, I am just trying to think like a CV. You know I write much better stuff in my FF. I would love to be proved wrong! But the way this track has gone, there seems nothing to be left but for all this to play out. At least, we would see the end of all this!

Helena has only 2, the white and the maroon, and I cannot understand how they are not both in tatters by now. As for Nandini, that blue and pink confection of hers makes me want to climb a wall.😡

Yesterday, the standout bit was the bone weariness Rajat infused into Chandra's voice in the court scene, and even earlier when he was getting out of bed. It was a remarkable display of voice control, of a kind he has never before had a chance to explore, and he pulled it off splendidly.

It was strange to see Kanha materialise, in a solid bronze incarnation, out of the blue in Nandini's rooms, or are they Chandra's rooms? Any such mini temple needs daily pujas, and not once were we shown Nandini doing anything of the kind till now. Nor any other member of the palace lot, come to think of it. All they did was to sit around at havans. There was no puja niche even in the hut at Pataalgram.

Now suddenly you have a gorgeous bronze Kanha - though he was not addressed as such, probably to differentiate him from Jodha Begum's ishta devata😉- complete with an enormously long flute that reminded me of nothing so much as the Alpine horn that Swiss men compete in blowing. 😉I think they made sure they did not reuse the birthday gift of a lovely bansuri that Jalal gave Jodha!

I liked the bit where Nandini talks Helena out of strangling her. It was a rare display of commonsense working.
