@Lola,
Btw, LOVE the pic update you posted on Pg. 97, such adorable pics!😍 Really love the Krishna-Balram hand-holding pic, the cutest thing ever! And the expressions on our SK mommies' faces are so natural and sweet, will def siggify them soon!😃
@Debi,
Wow Debi, thank you sooooooo much for your sweet compliments!🤗 Really soooooo sweet of you! Yes, I agree with you that Guru was really good in Uttar Kand. Though sometimes I felt Anand Sagar portrayed him too weak for Lord Ram, whereas Arun Govil was portrayed as a strong though hurting King, you are right that Guru as Ramji was made more relatable to today's men. You are right - sometimes it is necessary to make a few changes to encourage today's youngsters to watch the mythos and learn their culture, and as long as the divine characters of our puranas are not twisted so that their divinity lessens considerably, I do not mind a few changes here and there. The pain on Guru's face during the missing Siya moments are really worth watching.👏 Debi was also very good, esp during the parts where she reared Luv Kush and taught them the Shiv-Sati story, she really gave off the air of an affectionate mother.
You should watch the beginning of Anand Sagar's Ramayan when you can, because though it is not as great as Ramanand Sagar's, esp during the boring soap-operish parts, it feels like a Ramayan serial that at the end of the day, it is good entertainment to watch with family.😊 To tell the truth, I like Anand Sagar's Ramayan more than BR Chopra's Ramayan, as the latter didn't seem to get the divinity of Ram and Sita across as he did Lord Krishna in Mahabharat, and Nitish and Smriti seemed to uncomfortable with each other for Ram and Sita, their chemistry was not that interesting to watch, as Arun-Deeps and Guru-Debi's was.😳
Btw, thank you so much for the info on Tulsidas Jayanti, never knew about it.😲
@Shivang,
Wow, thanks so much for the dialogue, Shivang, one of my fav scenes in Ramayan.👏👏👏 Really enjoyed it. Again, translations are not needed because I watched this scene so many times I got the lines down pat. It is my way of learning Hindi.😳😆
Btw, I updated the ToC with all songs and dialogue lyrics, as well as the Pic updates and siggies. Please make sure that I placed your dialogues and songs in the right place.😊
@Gunu,
Wowzies, your new siggies are just magnifico, dear! AMAZING work!👏👏👏👏 Each and every one is as precious as a gem, but my fav has to be the 2nd SiyaRam one you made, sooooooooo pretty!😍 Will def use soon, dear! Keep making more, your creations are amazing! Hope everything is fine with your PC now?
@Deeps,
Wowzies, the Shivji siggie you made is just wonderful, yaar. LOVE it! As you can tell, I snagged it, along with the NDTV ones you made. Really amazing work.😃👏 And thank you so much for the tutorial on how to make avis in Anim Shop, will def try and see if it works.😳 Thank you!!!!
And super answers, really enjoyed reading them!👏 I agree with you. I too did not like Akhilendra Mishra in the role of Ravan, he made it seem too comedic, that all his scenes were kind of annoying, I prefer Arvind Trivedi so much more. He was brilliant.😳 And though I do not prefer Vijay Bhatia that much in the role of Bharat, I have to admit that he was not that bad....Bharat Milaap was def his best scene - but my main problem with him was that he did not really seem to connect with the role of Bharat, whereas as Guru, Debi, Lalit, and even Ankit seemed to get the deeper meaning of their respective roles. Though I agree that Hanuman should have been portrayed as more stronger, Vijay Sharma was not that bad. I rather liked his soft side, though I do wish he had stronger scenes. His Ram Katha to Sita Maiyya in the Ashok Vatika was soooo melodious and his expressions superb.👏
And I hope you feel better soon, am soooooo sorry to hear about your fever.😭 Take tons of rest and drink lots of fluids. And do not worry about logging on until you feel 100% better, and don't you dare start with my req until you feel fine again, missy, your health gets first preference.👍🏼
@Varsha,
Welcome to the CC dear! You are very much welcome here!🤗 Really looking forward to your inputs - so tell us, what are some of your fav scenes and songs from Ramayan?
Take care!

And to see Arunji crying and wandering the forests with no clear aim, we find ourselves crying with him😭, esp at the part where he asks all the trees and animals where his beloved is. Really really superb expressions on his face.
Even at the end of it when she cries and Trijata hugs her, it seems so innocent and it makes it all the more heartbreaking...Totally agree with you!
Aww, thank you for such a sweet comment, really made my day, Loli! For the next pic update, I'm trying to decide between Bharat Milaap or Vibhishan as you suggested - which one do you want first so I can start?
