its ok Skep 😊

most of ur questions will be answered in the next 2-3 episodes .... after that i m as clueless as u 😆 waise i m sure haider is older than sara.... she's still in university while haider is now working .... i think an MBA was thrown in the conversation in some episode ... i think maya is just a friend ... in the few scenes she has appeared ... they were really casual with each other ... and maya at one point was teasing haider abt whether or not he liked sara in that way .... i do like the haider sara track but it seems rushed somehow or may be it was all these years of soaps where tracks go on and on .... i like the simplicity of the entire thing though .....

in the previous post u mentioned abt arfeen's sisters... they r married ... but probably visit their maayka often.... or may be they just happen to be visiting at a particular instance ... i mean they cover months in a few episodes .....

do u think u'll watch all the episodes tonight? 😆

i havent seen jane eyre and i never felt inclined to read the novel ... wide sargasso sea, however, is wonderful ... all the more reason for me to not read jane eyre 😆

Hi Skep 😊

just wanted to share something else with u 😊 and no it isnt another serial 😳😆 that will come later i suppose when we r done with this one 😳

Remember that night last year when u sami and i duscussed faiz? the other day i read that there is going to be some sort of recital in Mumbai where Amitabh Bachachan will recite his father's poetry while Zia Mohyeddin will recite faiz (btw mohyeddin has a wonderful voice 👍🏼 not as deep as Bachchan but he emotes so well ..wow) anyways this news reminded me of faiz and the fact that i wanted to share a particular poem pf his but couldnt because i couldnt find the vdo on youtube ... now i have found one .... the poem is another revolutionary one called "Bol" ... it was sung wonderfully well by Tina Sani ... actually that's the rendition i truly wanted to share (i didnt much like the music actually but that voice *sigh*)....i decided to copy the poem as well along with the meanings of some difficult words 😊.... have fun 😆 and btw u dont have to listen to it today ... just when u have the time .... even its a week from now ..... i just think u'll enjoy it ...

btw there r certain sounds and ways of pronunciation that cannot be completely traslated in to english .... which is y the guy who uploaded the written version wrote ".n" instead of plain "n"

BOL
bol ke lab aazaad hai.n tere
bol zabaa.N ab tak terii hai
teraa sutawaa.N jism hai teraa
bol ki jaa.N ab tak terii hai
dekh ke aaha.ngar kii dukaa.N mein
tu.nd hai.n shole surKh hai aahan
khulane lage quffalo.n ke dahaane
phailaa har ek zanjiir kaa daaman
bol ye tho.Daa waqt bahot hai
jism-o-zabaa.N kii maut se pehale
bol ki sach zi.ndaa hai ab tak
bol jo kuchh kahane hai kah le


Sutawaa.N .... well built
Aaha.ngar .... blacksmith
Tu.nd .... sharp (here it means bright)
Aahan ... iron
Quffalo.n ke dahaane .... keyhole]

Well saw epi 10 just now..................
The mystery element was being played out really well. I knew in my heart that Saba would be accused of something and thrown out of the house. But the reason wouldn't have been so commonplace. I thought the author could have treated the story a bit differently rather making it mundane.
However its the old story of giving the lady a bad name, with her lover believing others and not her and then repentance all his life.

I skipped a little portion because it was dragging and I was eager to know the outcome. What astounded me was the sister's reaction to all of this. Y'know for all the outrage she's showing today, she was also one of those who accused Saba. And when Saba pleads "Kam se kam tum toh aise mat kaho" she spits venom. Her selfish words, "Aapko mera toh khayal aya hota apne saath apne mujhe bhi ...." Don't remember the exact words but something like that. She says this 2-3 times thro the epi. If any1, I am the angriest at her. "Tum bhi mujhe samajh na saki" the sadness in Saba's eyes, voice and face was superb.
I would say Adil was the only one who supported her and to show his disapproval, I hope he never returns to that household.

Arfeen cut a sorry figure for no fault of his. That was the author's prerogative to mould him that way. He has to behave that way to be regretful all his life later. But when he says either way I am going to suffer was done well. Now I am not sure but do you think Arfeen really believed his mother, a very devout woman? He knew how possesive she was abt him and resentful she was abt Saba. His mother is like MM from MRD!!!!
When Saba sits on the swing totally desolate, what is she thinking? That all whom she thought had faith in her were so shallow. Her own family! Her parents refuse to listen to her and her sister? The less said the better! Why blame his sisters when her sister is so accusative! That could be the reason why she doesn't want Sara to be with any of them. She probably knows that Arfeen would have to break ties with her some day or the other because the mother would never have left them in peace. Mayb his being single at the factory proved to her that he was a good man.

I think Saba will be married off to some Tom Dick or Harry. An elderly person with 4 children! Mayb Sara is his daughter?
What shocked me was Arfeen's father. The way he hit Saba and kicked her. 🤢 🤢 🤢 . The men around the house are nincompoops who can't rise above the situation. Well if you don't want to be educated, then this is the stupid way you will think. His parents don't see beynd their noses. They cant seem to see the sorrow their son is going through. A lie was fabricated and the die was cast. The lynching mob pounced on poor Saba and tore her apart. Nobody would believe her against his unsullied mother. You know that proverb.....the nearer the church the farther from God? It fits perfectly.
I was happy she didn't take any oath. She had realised the uselessness of the exercise and refrained from trifling with the holy scriptures. At least she was "pak" in her body and spirit. No wonder everyone is burning in their private hell today.
And I wonder where Sara has gone? And I wonder what Hyder will have to say when the flashback ends?
Sigh ..................
Have I seen all the epis aired so far? And when is the next one to be shown?

That title song now has a contextual meaning to it ..................... and hence sounds even more soulful.
