Ok these episodes are starting to feel a lot more familiar than the HP ones did because I have watched these scenes over and over again. However, I had only watched the Maaneet scenes and I had no idea that it was Sasha who gave Geet the resignation. I always assumed that she decided to resign and then Maan's taunts provoked her to take up the challenge and stay. But this is better, far more consistent with the whole Maan misunderstands Geet and tells her she is an idiot thing they have going on.
Burning question of the day: HOW did Maan know that folded piece of paper being twisted in Geet's hand was a resignation? X-ray vision, clairvoyance, the special paper they use only for resignation letters? 😕
I love how Maan is both impressed and highly amused by Geet's overdramatic dialogues. His expression when she says swabhimaan is priceless and although he is mocking her yet again, you can see there is some fondness, some ownership and even some teasing in the mocking now. It is not just mean like the Canada Embassy outburst. Also the malignant nature of Maan's words are more than tempered by Geet's barabar responses! I love how she declares that she is not going to give him the resignation letter and before that how she talks about HP. She finally got in the response she had stored up in her since the embassy takkar. This is a girl that will not give up and if she has something to say, she will say it, though it may take ages, she will remember and use it at the appropriate moment.
I loved the conversation between Maan and Dev! It was so awkward thanks to Maan's natural awkwardness with relationships and Dev's guilt at what he did and anger that he had to do it. The guy just doesn't get the concept of family or forgiveness, does he? All he can think of is that his brother didn't help him soon enough. I actually think this is what might send him into the guilt spiral. The thought that he could have just asked Maan and Maan would have helped him, haunts Dev when he thinks about what he unnecessarily did to Geet. He resents Maan for something he did, again selfish and immature. He is just not willing to take responsibility for his own choices.
Aw the phone chord scene! I agree with Nirvy. It was so natural and stuff that happens when you are totally under pressure. But I guess it means that no matter how vehemently Maan tries to go away, Geet will unconsciously have held him back, because he himself unknowingly got himself entangled. And you can run Maan, but you can't hide from the magic wire of Luurve. 😆 Also Geet connecting Maan to Dev was interesting as he does not want to let anybody in but she is sort of the moderator that reconnects him to his family and the world. Also more literally she is a connection between Dev and Maan now.
Geet's fist exasperated self-talk about Maan! AWW! These are one of the things that defined the office track and it was nice to see that first instance.
