Updating comments in random order since I read to about 100 chapters...
I really loved the characterization of Renu. Such a strong willed personality, thinking very practically, but when she goes to the locker room to get the proof...she knew exactly what she would find in there because of her in depth understanding of her husband and her love for him. Hats off to her courage and MV just astonished me when she let Renu cry her heart out after this. Just painful.
Also love the relationship growth between grandfather and Poorni. Rajasekar who is still dwelling in the old norms and Poorni who is changing the system. There are several places where I had tears while reading and one such place was when Rajasekar gives a pen to Poorni for her exam and her eagerness to meet grandpa before going to exam.. what a touch Shruthi!!!
Just like Sudhir, I am eagerly waiting to know the reason why MV is a big time Sree-Suman shipper :) and the opening up of the Kundali confusion.
And the republic day parade trip to Delhi... my god I was thinking MV was going to find it out but then it was Poorni and Vaishu who sensed something. That was a thrill ride with Sree, Suman, Poorni and Vaishu in the hideout and Devika was a surprise package. Good they are getting more support slowly yet steadily.
Bhavani is a total 360 degree shift from the submissive wife/DIL to the crazy strong woman who is unstoppable... why was she not this when Suman's wedding with Murali happened...mainly guilt pushes her to gain more strength.
And that one episode where Suman waits for Sreedar's acknowledgement and finally before getting in the car he turns back with a wink beautiful Shruti... Also reminded me of the DDLJ... 'turn' scene :)
Jaipur track was very nice. Enjoyed the way that Suman opens up about her insecurities, glad they get time to talk about things before they are into it. In SKR I remember Vashist says that he taught all the kids alike but only Ram understood and followed the principles taught. Similarly even though MV and Shoba were raised with same principles the way both turned out to be poles apart. But glad MV knows to keep her sister on the line where she wants her to be.
Another thing that I like is everyone of the characters in Varma household have their pros and cons in them and no one is perfect. But the thing makes them remarkable is the way they are willing to accept and correct themselves.
Maybe I missed out on many parts, will keep updating as I remember or read further.
