So true Shru, very well written. She has been viewing life at MM as a "temporary" thing. Like its a hotel with very kind staff. She has not emotionally invested in any of them much.
She wants to invest in rakshasan but fears she has invested too much already. More can only bring grief


This encounter with Bala will make her realize, "its OK to let go of the present and try and new things". Its not intended as a "payback" or "revenge" towards Bala, but more like

A kind of self realization:
"I have been given fantastic opportunities in life, yet I continue to over extend myself at places where my resources are clearly not required"

Like he said she has multiple advanced degrees, but has no clue how to take decisions about her own life. Not that even he knows. They both are "wise" about other people not about themselves.

Sound familiar? We are all like that arent we? We all know whats right for the other person.
By not telling her how upset he was with the Bala situation, or telling her its OK to hate who you work for he is able to get her to open up a little

This is no guarantee that he wont screw up in the future or she wont... they both will but dealing with this crisis has brought them closer to what they both want secretly "HAVE THAT BABY"

So true Nisha! It's like most of the people my age I know of who can give a lot of advice on relationships are the ones who have never been in one.😃

The one above and the one below

He wanted to reach out grab and hug her... for all the advanced degrees, she was innocent and clueless about the workings of corporate India

add this to the list
Her jasmine string was partly untangled and strewn on the bed, the air condtioning had whipped the scent
up the room smelled like his master bedroom the evening of the wedding.

Dude and his clear memory and eye for every detail connected to her 👏

A marvellous update
an update full of love,romance, emotions ,relationships and care

Their relationship is blooming and their love is becoming deeper then ever, which is lovely to see

Dude is understanding the problem between II and Bala, hoping to see him fully confronting her about this. Dude's quite behaviour always help him in understanding about people and situations correctly except ranjan.

II's worry about Ranjan due to his work load was depicted precisely. Maybe now even dude is getting to know that ranjan need him.

But the best part was this :
He wondered if she expected her Manager to convince her to focus on family? and make the right choices?
He wondered if she genuinely couldnt distinguish between managerial styles or was looking for a Bally in Ritu
Both were dangerous


It was in my mind for quite a time but never wrote about it.
II has invested emotionally so much in Bally that she has become dependent on him fully, she is not able to move on.
Even before Ritu she expected him to ask her for Ritu's post or suggest her to Bansal.
She has found family in Bally and is expecting in Ritu also which is why she is not quite happy with her professional life

"I am not gifted like you" she let a hot fat tear drop on the blanket, it was offwhite, it darkened where the teardrop feel
"Of being quiet" "of knowing what to say" she explained, her chin trembling her lower lip quivering, as she arrested the movement by biting on it
"
Its not a gift" he told her unassumingly "


So true, its not a gift
Its just that circumstances which his life has thrown on him has made him very mature then her.

Like Drishti...I really didn't know what to write about the update...and after reading Shru and kalpana's post...I feel like what else to write...
Shru...really liked what u wrote...u correctly pointed out how II was still now...it was theirs (Bhallas), his, yours at first...she never considered anything or anyone as hers except to an extent... dude...now slowly she is slipping up...MM is her home, mine, ours is slowly cropping inadvertently, slowly she is shedding the daughter part of her and moving towards being the Bhalla DIL, though she will never stop being the loving and caring, mischevious daughter/sister...her priorities are shifting...if Ranjan doesn't talk, she tricks him into talking to her, opens up to him first, wants to do all the wifely things for the dude, she has accepted the Batras wholeheartedly...and now she is longing for her own baby...thanks to Bala for the putting the final nail...😉

I just loved how Dude handled her today, sensed how vulnerable she is actually...for all the smartness, intelligence she possesses...she expecting that Ritu will be like or a lil similar to Bally shows her naiveness...whatever mistakes they make or may make in the future...they are on the road to being a solid unit and will be there for each other whenever the other needs. He is taking care of her more and more, making she sure she eats, recording the ceremony, taking pics, getting her to open up...its simply marvellous the way u have bought about the changes in these two Nisha. Just like in real life...when a girl gets married...the first year or so...its more of being the daughter than DIL...my house will be still parents house...slowly as the year passes the my house/home will mean husbands house and will start to refer the other as in mom's/parents house.

Personally, when i was working, I loved the female Operations manager but the female TL to whom i was reporting was a bit difficult to handle. If there was some kind of personal tension, then that day the tone with she spoke would be so different...otherwise she would be all smiles and ready to gossip about our personal life. My Ops Manager was so cool and level headed...made it a point to regularly have one to one with us...and she used to remember what ever we had said to her before and ask about it. Before her the male Ops manager was all about getting the work done and if he asked about us it was all bit mechanical and detached.

Since we all dont know much about Ritu's personal life or does she behave like this with II since she is a Bhalla/female, I dont want to comment much. She might be different with her male colleagues...but II should get used it, she cant expect Ritu to be Bally like. And if we see now bally also didn't reply to her message. He might have been busy with his own duty and responsibilities, but earlier he would have replied to her and would have definitely gone to the function. People and their priorities keep changing with time...just as II and Dude will and once the baby comes the change will be more marked.

Uff...the post has become a long ramayan...I better go sleep and shut down my brain.

GN folks in the east
GD folks in the west.😃
