Episode 679
Sai ko jeetne ke mauke Kam milte hai... so ignoring the biasness about expensive schools ... I will accept the plot point as it is a means for bigger drama.
Rant below...ignore at your choice.
V is anxious whether Saavi will sail through. Sai is not. She is fairly confident. Saavi answers everything with aplomb and Principal is impressed. Offers admission in higher grade.
Sai refuses and Principal is confused.
Sai explains that she belongs to a middle class background, doesn't take child support from V and intends to pay the fees for Saavi on her own. Also she wanted to prove a point to V that she has not failed in her duties regarding Saavi.
V is as expected irritated and angry ... as naak Jo kat gai.. pehle beti ne class laga di... phir Sai ne taunt mara aur phir Principal ne bhi daat diya... ek hi din main 3 ladies se daant khana is an unusual day in V's life 🤪
Anyway, he stops Sai and they have another squabble, over parental rights, who knows better and who should take decisions. Lekin Sai ko jeetna hai so she tells V that Saavi has been admitted to V's school. V is impressed and happy even in his loss.
Score stands V1-S1. 👏
Vinu Saavi take a round around school and one of the teachers recognises Saavi. Didn't get the point of it since Saavi is not going to be in this school. 😕
CNwasis are as usual being obnoxious. Are super confident that Saavi will fail. Ash Ninad are good but selfish. Their only concern is Saavi. They stress to the rest that they (including V) won't accept any bad mouthing towards Saavi. They have a right on this house and Saavi does too as their grandchild.
(Once again felt like Ghar ka batwara track might happen especially when Ninad said hum iss Ghar ka hissa hai)
It's not team Sai but Team Saavi... and while it is pretty selfish at this point that Ash is concerned only for Saavi... atleast they are taking a stand.... openly and proudly... something that should have been done when Sai was the daughter in law. 😔
Der aaye durust aaye... bas bane Rahe iss baat pe.... Ghum and consistency is 36 ka akada. 😭
P hears everything...especially Ash claiming that she won't tolerate anything against Saavi. Chalo palto Giri kahin to acchhi hai... red queen needs to see how fake everyone was... she needs to suffer all this.
V comes back and informs that Saavi is not admitted to Vinu's school. BK Sonali gloat and Sonali makes a point to taunt P. Has to cover up and V replies that Saavi did clear.
But what happened to Saavi ki khilaf galat nahi sunenge?
Chutki is still ok... but Ash Ninad have no problem to chuhiya????😡 why is V okay with this? Sai ko bhi devi ji aur junglee mulgi bolte aaye hai... atleast change this for Saavi. 👎🏼
I wish all of them take it up tomm. 🤓
What I didn't like...
The entire narrative of Saavi not being admitted to this school was Sai not having the financial capability to pay the fees. She clearly mentioned it to the Principal.... to phir why did she agree for child support later? 🤔
Secondly... while Sai has done an exceptional job at home schooling Saavi the interview was just to prove a point to V... to settle scores and to lead to next drama of P getting insecure. That's the plot point...
We had discussed about pros and cons of homeschooling vs formal schooling ... but it was not even that. It looked more like an ego trip for both. Sadly the child is getting pulled in unnecessarily. Since Saavi won't be changing school, it is Vinu who will have to change😔. Since V won't be consulting it with P, it's highly improbable that he will ask Vinu if he wants to change. Once again a unilateral decision that affects the kid. 👎🏼... if not Saavi... then Vinu...
Admission promo P makes sense now!!!
Now for the apparent biasness and stupidity of the entire scenario and this is a very personal experience. It's more of a rant so please ignore if it's not your cup of tea.
We had a similar experience at my daughters school admission. We went for admitting her to nursery class but she could identify letters and numbers and read even when she couldn't write. The principal noticed she already has the motor skills required to write and was therefore directly admitted to Jr.KG/KG1. My kid could identify Donald Trump 😆 in the newspaper, spell it out and needless to say the Principal was impressed.
She never went to Nursery and is now by default the youngest in her class. And yet she is smart enough that she copes up brilliantly. No complaints 👌
Later on I have changed schools and it is the top 2 school of my city. In academics and fees.
But what matters is the pedagogy or the teaching techniques. It's more experiential and hands on and not rote learning (the reason why I decided to change) I have seen tremendous progress in my daughter in this new school and it didn't dip even during online classes of the pandemic.
I agree for the peer pressure for the financial difference between Kids though. It's very real and it's difficult to make the kid understand. 😕
So this apparent bias that big expensive schools do not have proper teaching/focus is wrong. Sai has interacted with Vinu and hasn't seen the teaching methods at the school and she also praised the school ... so the overall objection was just for fees. Then why make her accept child support and invalidate that entire point?
Stupid stupid stupid writing. 🙄
P ko insecure hi karna tha to kuch aur reason se karte. This is mindless... and child support ka question hai to that would be much bigger drama but yet again it looks like it's just in passing. Only if BK/P/Sonali makes a huge hue and cry about it then I can understand why this entire episode hinged on that particular thing.
Anyway, please ignore the rant and enjoy the episode. A smug Sai Joshi and stupid VC interaction with GC vibes is like oasis in desert. 😉
