Lovely post @indranigupta...and apt title...
A shout out to Chicksoup...for your earlier comment on my post for some similarity in inIndranigupta and my writing or thot process...😊 I have to say Indrani's post is reflective of my thinking of the current state of affairs becos after the monday epi...i was thinking of a post tentatively titled "Who will blink first? and lo and behold I saw the Who will bell the cat...post
😆😆 so soup...u got that right...
I agree with Indrani...the boy has changed but his love hasn't...that is the bottom line...
Its interesting to see that Shravan has given a new spin to all things concerning Sumo...while in the past it was about all waiting for her approval and her acceptance...this time around...Shravan has managed to add charm to the "waiting" process, like adding a swagger...so it comes across as a new thing for all of us...the viewers and Sumo included...Sumo has not read this Shravan well becos he is in a new package...
His day begins with a quick reminder to see if all's right with Sumo's world..His conviction that the first call of the day will be from his friend Sumo...who else could it be? His absolute need to share his distress with Sumo as decision time looms large...Yes...the circumstances would be diff and as we know...he may also take a decision that may be different from what his heart and Sumo (note they are the same!) wants...but the unmistakable aspect is the centrality of Sumo in his thought process...Everyone seemed to fret about Riya angle yday but not many i presume seemed to focus on the actual need for that scene...it was to let us know his state of mind before he will be forced to take the call to return to London.
He tells his friends that he is starting to feel happy being here among Friends and Family...(he says friends first...a freudian slip perhaps...Sumo is the central thought here too...) He knows he has to return eventually but his happy and relaxed mind has not put a date for that event...He is basking in Sumo sunshine and (family time)...His world is perfect at the moment before that perfect moment is ruined on walking into the chachi_Pushkar convo...
