Drishti and Aarti...very well written
Dont know what to write...except that I am very happy to see a caring and worried Dude...

Manny ke baare...mujhe kuch nahi kehna...she is going to do whatever she wants...just hope she finds some happiness and settles down or stick firmly to whatever decision she makes regarding her Phd.

Sam...the ever caring person and the perfect partner for her Tan...Butter ball...automatically brings a smile on our face reading about her antics...

Both Sam and Dude have their perfect partners...so really hope Manny finds her mate soon.

Ranjan...🤗 hope the issues are sorted out soon...stay strong, healthy.

Ok Good Night/Good Day folks...feeling too sleepy...

The wall will have cracks but will never break completely...the scars will remain forever...Ranjan being innocent or not--- savvy's suicide is a mistake...the guy blames ranjan for it because savvy is not there anymore to blame...

According to me, both the parents actually wronged their children...one being innocent/not still doesnt open his mouth and say that he is innocent or there could have been a foul play...He is tormentin the kids with being alive and silent about it...

The other parent took a selfish emotional decision without considering the kids and is tormenting them by being dead...He has to somewhere show his anger for being wronged illaya...who else than Ranjan???

But now staying with Ranjan forces him to see his equivalent good side as well...which makes him fight with himself to to show affection..but the moment he looses his guard, savvy's memory screws it up


do we know if R&B listened ..or was ready to listen..R&B left right, Tan and Sam trust Ranjan right may be they know more ..
if something so negative has happened in our lives we want to move past it make our lives good for others who are alive ,dont we all , this thread specially knows that now ..

staying alive he is ensuring his kids have a home inspite of Savvy dieing ..Manny can still come back at 2 am expect food, or R&B had this wonderful house appa/amma could come and get served south indian food and have this wedding..else but for Sam the other 2 would have been gone being nomads with nothing to call home post Savvy..
you know committing suicide is the easy part staying for your kids with the son completely ignoring and being so caring to all is the hard part ..he can easily marry or go to a retreat or do anything but expect to watch andaz apna and have sleepovers and call Minion puttar..being alive and positive and saying sab changa is what is making Ranjan the hero of the story 😳

Ranjan has no other option but to stay alive and keep quite unless he has people who are willing to listen!!!

That part of Sam texting about Lasya doing everything except crawling, I am sitting with a wide grin on my face now.
My daughter like 'Butter' did everything except crawl. We would be itching to see her crawl. And try various ways of getting her to crawl.
Nothing would make her crawl except when she used to see one of us hold a pen. To get that , she would crawl. And when she got it, she would smile. For some reason , a pen always fascinated her. Still does. Recently she made me buy a funny looking goofy pen for her to see that and smile while she does her chore called 'homework'. Otherwise she would never crawl. Just stood up holding the leg of the sofa one day and took her first steps.
Lovely lovely memories, this brought bk, infact would ,to every single new parent.

II and R&B would make make and build memories of their's too.
Not of one but of four. 😃 . 😳 😛

It's always fascinating to get a peek in to the working of the dude's mind. He is pondering aloud within the conversation he is making to himself as to how his wife goes quiet when something troubles her, how serious manny is with Makarand Rao, what does Sam think of his texting to enquire abt his dad, abt the media curiosity, oddness at seeing his dad take a call at a family event..., the introvert mind is processing so much and very observant.
It's nice that we readers are privy to the workings of his mind now and then, something that even his wifey does not. And that's the USP of this tale. 😳

I agree Anu. The way I see this and I have said this previously, when something so big and tragic happens, it shocks, numbs and and stuns a person to the core. After the fact, explaining and justifications dont matter any more. The fact is that he was found in the hotel room with his pants down and there was a woman who was not his wife next to him. the children saw this and drew their own conclusions. before anything else could have transpired or before the family could gather together to talk about this, Savita died. after this nothing else mattered. the swords were already drawn and sides taken. we dont know what ranjan said to savvy when he came to meet her. perhaps we will never know because the person to whom a justification would have mattered isnt there anymore.
I have this strong feeling that the way ranjan talks about savvy, in the present tense, with fondness and longing, he must have tried to cleared the air. Savvy on the other hand might have needed time to clear her head but then the tragedy happened. sam and manny are ready to give ranjan the benefit of the doubt, RB isnt. I am sure ranjan blames himself somewhat for what happened, even though he (according to me and anu and other ranjan gushers) hasnt done anything intentionally. iski saza wo bhugat raha hai, RB's cold and uncaring attitude towards him is worse than any jail ki saza. and the fact of the matter is savvy is dead and the family is wrecked and at this stage whether he has done anything or not will not bring savvy back. And moreover embroiled in the grief of savvys loss, do oyu think that any justification from ranjan would have helped? I guess not!

There is a wounded child in all of us...the wound is caused by things that happen to us...sometimes caused by others sometimes self inflicted...the wounded child has to heal or the wound transforms into a life threatening one...
The major difference is in the way one decides to deal with it...The news of discovery in a hotel room rocked the boat of the Bhallas...Savvy couldn't stay afloat...she sank and the ripples caused by her fall still remains...Ranjan dealt life's blow by immersing himself in work...he remains the same to his children and those connected through them...his parenting style a contrast to the Iyers and senior Mrs Batras...

Sam dealt with it in a better way Nandu being a diversion...barbs from her MIL she faced TAN's strong shoulders and needs were her anchor and Lasya came as her healing and her fat fist somewhat acted as a pacifier for the Dude

Manny's marriage shook further due to the ripples surrounding her and she did not find the lifeline needed...her husband took the life jacket available and reached ashore...passing boats pause to take stock but none so far seems capable to rescue her and be the anchor...her boat is drifting in troubled water still though a thousand islands are at sight in the distance...her wound has transformed her into drift wood and research not sufficient to distract her..with every new wave, some parts are getting peeled off or sea urchins cling on...

R&B was a olympic swimmer reached an island or passing boat regularly ...there were dressings fixed on his wounds temporarily though he never went for a proper course of treatment in healing...his reluctance to look at the problem in the eye ...inflicting greater pain on the man that shared with him Savvy's attention...he found a life guard whose tactics to save and resuscitate him seems sound...he is aboard a safe barge...they inspected islands and the possibility of survival there...he is fiercely in love with II will never commit the transgressions of his cousins now...the pain of broken faith in marriage the greatest lesson for him in the event.

II's wound inflicted by Subbu and his Mom and the condition of her Periappa... she found her pursuits and work the balm and band aid to fix her wound...the wound has almost healed the scabs falling off with her distancing from folks that mattered so far to a redefinition of the circles around her...she senses his pain which was a deeper rent...she sees from close quarters the long lingering effects of the ripples...what she tried is to see that the water is not stirred up further...though ingredients in the form of acidic taunts of Manny and Bala are available to add colour or froth to the water she chooses to keep it at bay though her scorched fingers are to heal from the damage of contact (confrontation)
Is the strike going to lead to a calming down( sorting of differences) or is it Chachu armed with tons of muck and arms to support him that is meddling with the already disturbed water...
How will Appa respond now that his daughter is not only a Bhalla but has been reminded by his own photo copy to stay and act like one?

We have Maharathis to guide the course of the war some outside the arrayed troops some within Amma Akka are new players yet powerful in stabilising the Dude and reassuring II...Their perspective temperament and good will to the duo will nourish them to heal from within..Sam Tan in ever ready mode watchful and prepared with required reinforcements

This will be a significant phase in the lives of the duo...feel privileged to view it from box office seats and Gold class facilities Nisha being the fantastic entertainer she is:) Replaying soulful morning ragas from my playlist
