Seems like the Vanvas Track might tempt me to return from my self-imposed one and actually post Random Thoughts on the forum occasionally 😉😆😆

The Best and the Beast:
We and his loved ones saw the BEST for a while now.
The Best brother, grandson, son and husband because the Best was easy with these equations where the Beast was not needed. So the Beast stayed hidden away being the Best in these loving times and this loving phase. It was easy to keep the other guy hidden away while he was not needed because being the Beast does take its toll most times.
It is a hard and dirty job being the Best Beast but someone needs to do it and that someone has always been him. It is a self-imposed Job Title and he wore it without remorse or bearing any grudge that it always almost fell in his lot.
With the threat and reappearance of the old and equally fierce Beast (Svet) who is as good at the game and as experienced as he is, the Best Beast had to reemerge. This was the Beast that needed unquestioning authority followed to his decisions made, which he had probably already realized would be difficult with his equally fierce mate. The lines would have to be drawn and the Best everything else would have to take a Sabbatical for now so as not to hinder the progress of the Best Beast.
Nothing surprising to his brothers to see this Beast emerge because that is how the Beast has always been when cornered by another fierce Beast threatening his survival. But this now is new to his mate who has to learn that the rules and the equation in their partnership will change when she is with the Beast. That is when the Beast will no longer share the equal dominance, that she is normally used to, and will expect that she step down for that time period
To those who thought that the Beast had disappeared, new flash!! He adapts as I said but never disappears.
That is what any decent, noteworthy beast worth a mention in the Beastly Book of World Records' would do. He would adapt to the new situation and mask himself as a Prince but would never lose his identity as a Beast for without that identity who would he really be?? He would be a defenseless human being who would be weak and susceptible to the other Big Beasts threatening his existence and the existence of his loved ones, his future generation so to speak.
A lion does not stop being a lion when he is with his Family. He just becomes the Beastly Protector instead of the Beast Predator. Survival of the fittest is the rule by which he lives by and his survival right now ensures the survival of his Family at large.
Return of Saumya: The Grey One
Are the inauspicious footprints just the result of destructive thoughts!?? The power of the mind is a strange thing as we all know and what havoc can a hurt and devastated soul cause to the ones responsible for this devastation?!
Food for thought
As much as I loved the chemistry and pairing of RumYa, her entry into OM coinciding with an apparent disaster that almost happened, has always bugged me right from day one. The footsteps of a Bahu or Lakshmi are supposed to be auspicious and hers were not. The job of a Bahu is to avert danger and ill fortune but for her stay at OM she could successfully not do most of those.
When she entered the OM for the first time, she almost caused the death of the 'Neev' as it would seem (just speculation as a writer remembering the chopper blowing up), had it not been for the Auspicious Feet of the Elder Oberoi Bahu, already firmly planted there, cancelling it out (Annika exchanging the papers).
This time her entrance has caused the Neev to shake and for the 'Great Wall' to withdraw his immediate presence and, so to speak, protection from the Oberoi Family because as we know he is leaving.
Does she have a past score that has been left unsettled just like Svet? Has she suffered loss and pain, because of the Oberoi's, that causes her to bring that shadow with her unknowingly?
With Shivvay leaves the Oberoi Family's auspicious protection and shield, his wife, who always averted the ill fortune and the danger with him.
Svet (the challenging Beast)has been left unguarded it seems, or has she!??
The 'Original Fixer' is leaving the building with the auspicious shield that guarded it, so to speak, and it will be up to the next OM fixer now to take on this 'Mantle' he has left behind and become the 'Great Wall' with his wife as his auspicious shield . Lucky for the man, and his Family, his auspicious shield is in place and ready to cancel out any in-auspiciousness that might emerge (Svet) even with the Elder Bahu leaving.
The time has come for Rikara to step in now.
Edited and Added to clear my stance on this what I wrote : Are the inauspicious footprints just the result of destructive thoughts!?? The power of the mind is a strange thing as we all know
My statement about the inauspicious entrance was to imply that she did not have positive or warm feelings towards the Oberoi's not that she was in general 'bad luck' to all. When you enter a home or a place you either bring in the good aura with you because you feel warm feelings towards the people there OR bring the negative feelings of hatred and revenge with you which exudes in the aura automatically ...
that was what I meant ... not that Saumya herself is unlucky
Saumya may or may not be the cause of something causing chaotic energy fields in the OM ... that is for us to see as her character unfolds after her return ...
If she is an innocent hurt by the Oberoi's and has suffered deep loss due to them, as Dadi says, the blood of the innocent will call for retribution even if she knowingly does not cause it. It is what most of us would refer to as Karma I guess
All I know is there can be only on end game - RumYa or RuvYa and I am curious to see where the PH is going with this dynamic between these 3
