LOL I was honestly surprised and it kinda put me off from the epi overall also.....Madhu just kills the show for me in general😆 Word. 😆 I think she really serves no purpose in the story whatsoever. *shrugs*


Oye you too?? THANK GOD! I thought I was the only one getting this feeling😆.....That's why I was kinda staying away from the thread and discussions too😆 I loved that one line about Nakku smoothing out the wrinkles in the bed yesterday too....honestly the most beautiful line in the whole epi and the one that stayed with me afterwards too.....but overall I wasn't exactly feeling a lot of it AS much anymore epi-wise. Yeah that feeling is just dawning on me now. *sigh* Yeah that smoothing out the wrinkles wali line was def. the best thing about yesterday's update. Then it got slow towards the end when nothing much really happened. I still enjoyed the update yesterday because of that bit where Naku remembers her past. So I got excited thinking that the story would finally move towards Naku a bit. But then today's update was pretty pointless only. So I am getting this detached si feeling now.

EXACTLY *nods vehemently* You've said it perfectly....it is being spoon fed to us in a sense cuz like every TINY thought in Dutta's head is being described in SO much detail....honestly it sounds like he's ready to CRY every second moment😕😆.....when MR enacted that it was like INTERPRETATION like you said.....now toh it's like tooooooooooo much description of emotion that I'd rather have enjoyed EXPERIENCING than being TOLD about. Yeah, at first I thought it was cool to read all the nuances that make Dutta's character so special. And the reason behind MR's awesome portrayal of Dutta too. But now it just feels like there is just NO room for interpretation at all. You pretty much have to buy whatever is written. So you're only reading it for the plot/story purposes as opposed to really feeling the emotions and the moments for yourself. It's just too descriptive now.

Yep the story is in a bit of a stagnant mode and it's the whole writing it in script form in a sense thing as well like you mentioned above too....it's like these quick snapshots and not really an overall story.....also one more thing that's started to irritate me a bit is how the DN scenes are sounding repetitive....it's like Nakku tying a dhaaga on his hand for the MILLIONTH time....or just PRAYING all the time or looking to start crying and getting senti since HE apparently gets senti in every second scene😕😆.....and the ending of today's apparently AGAIN had her putting tilak on him? Kuch zyada repetitive nahin ho gaya?😕😆 Word about DN scenes being repetitive. It's just annoying me now to see Naku doing the same pooja rituals all the time. I mean nothing that drastic has even happened for all this getting so senti and pooja stuff. I almost want Dutta to loose his patience and become an atheist again. 😆 DN are totally stagnant right now. Which is why when Naku brought up her past for a bit yesterday I got a bit intrigued. But it was just a false alarm it seems. 😆

LOL good to know it's not just me....although I hope I didn't put these paranoid thoughts into your head just by mentioning them....cuz waise I think you were enjoying them.....I also liked the initial few and I do appreciate the gesture ofcourse that they are putting these up.....but honestly the LIFE came from the acting on-screen *sigh* Especially MR.....a few of the scenes like the one about D watching N smooth out the wrinkles in the bed.....would've so loved to see MR enact that *sigh*....so yeah I feel a bit sad about that also.....a little bereft kinda feeling reading these now. Well, you def. helped clear my own thoughts about this. :) Yeah that's just the thing. These updates are now just making me miss MR more than ever. *sigh* It was that combination of the writing and the acting that brought magic on screen. Even the pooja stuff I could handle because sometimes they would play these matras and shlokas in the background that enhanced the whole spiritual feeling. But in writing that whole experience toh is def. missing only. *sigh*

Chalo, hopefully these updates will get more interesting for the STORY aspect later on atleast. That's really all we can hope for now. That and watching the old LTL episodes.

Oh and if nothing else, these updates do make me respect the LTL writers even more. Especially with the little tid-bits bandbajao shares in the thread. Things like where they got the inspiration for the whole don/smuggling thing. And all the settings and stuff. Looks like they really have put in a lot of thought and research into their story. :)

Hmmm..ohkk....didn't read the FF...just read through some pages. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's a great effort on the part of the writer/s...and I have always found written word more powerful than visuals...but after watching the show for so longg, it would be a bit weird...no? I'll definitely try to give it a try...coz I really, really miss LTL...par mujhe soch kar hi ajeeb lag raha hai....MR ko dekhne k dil karta hai...sirf imagine kar lena toh mere liye kafi nain

Ahh the polite Canadians stereotype....awww😆😆.....I remember when I visited my cousins in Vancouver one time and we went shopping downtown once and this one saleslady at this store was soooooooo nice to us.....I was taken aback😆....I mean in general ppl here in the U.S. are polite and pleasant too....general American trait but Canadians go the extra mile to make you comfortable it seems😆


LOLL yep that's Canadians for you alright. 😆 Sounds just right. 😆 Isn't there this joke about U.S./Canada that goes,

If an American and a Canadian were walking on the street. And even if the American happened to deliberately push the Canadian, you will always find the Canadian apologizing for it.

😆😆 Canadians really do go the extra mile. It's really sweet most of the times. Especially when you're out shopping or something...people just start having conversations and everyone standing at the checkout line just joins in. 😆 And you will never find someone NOT holding the door for you. 😆 Even if you are a good 10-20 steps away, the person currently at a door will keep waiting to hold that door for you. For fear that if I leave the door, then it might hit the person coming from behind in the face or something. 😆 And if your car is ever stuck in the snow, a good 10-15 people will stop in the middle of the road and help you out. :) It really is the sweetest thing.

Sometimes it does get annoying though when you have jobs like waitressing. Because people WILL say thank you's a BILLION times! 😆 Aur phir "you're welcome" kehte kehte moon thak jaata hai bande ka. 😆 Sometimes the niceness just gets to you in general. Kabhi kabhi mean hone ka bhi mann karta hai. 😆

But mostly it's really a pleasant environment to live in. *touchwood* We used to live in the States too before shifting to Canada. And you can really feel the difference between the two countries even though they are so similar too. 😆 Despite being an Indian at heart...I genuinely feel like calling Canada my home. And this is probably the reason for it. 😆

Hey Mash! :)

Yeah we've been feeling the same way. Read the last couple of pages...me and Anu were just discussing this only. While it's a nice initiative on the part of the writers to try and keep the essence of the story and characters intact for us; it's still not completely satisfying enough. *sigh*

What to do. *sigh*.

LOLL Mash, I think Canada NEEDS someone like you to come and sunao do chaar! 🤣 I'd just love to see you come here and just be your angelic self. 😛😆

You'd probably scare a good few Canadians away. 😆 Bichare. 😆

Palloooooooooo! DID Dance ke Superstars started today! Are you watching it??

Ahhhh I just have such a soft corner for the season one contestantsssssssss! Jai-Vrushali-Mayuresh-Alisha all in one team! Eeeeeee! And Prince and Siddesh too! Good times!

Waise I thought the first Prince-Jai-Siddesh act had FABULOUS choreography but the judges were pretty harsh on them marking wise :S......and the first trio girls act just fell flat.....they looked confused....but the rest was quite good......Mayuresh-Bhavna's act was very nice and they won POTD too.......I'm enjoying this MUCH more than the MAHA BORE DID Doubles! LOL. There was a really enjoyable act by Kruti-Punit-Amrita too.


------------------------------------------

Watched Bones as well.....*yawns* DB and ED might as well start PHONING in their parts.....not making much difference anyways🥱🥱......I feel like I'm watching some AU version of BnB🤔......Overall also just ok types epi.......last week's was more entertaining on the humor quotient with the other characters also.

So I just had the misfortune of watching Break Ke Baad. *slams head against the wall repeatedly*

What. The. Hell. Was. That?!?!?!?!?! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

This crap made KANK look like a masterpiece. Deepika's character - oh my god. She embodied the exact type of female characters that I can't stand. What a wannabe-ish, pathetic retard she was in the movie. I wanted to shoot that brainless west obsessed freak. 🤢

Did someone point a gun to Imran's forehead? I see no other reason for him to sign this movie. Was Aamir Khan's nephew really that desperate for a film?

If anyone is this CC hasn't seen the movie, I'm jealous of you. You saved yourself two hours of pure torture! If only I could get that time back - I could have fit two missed episodes of my Vampire Diaries in that time slot. *sobs*
