IP REDUX; Satyameva Jayate !! - Page 3

Neither was I surprised or amazed but disillusioned that criticism can take many directions. We are not a teenager to have a negative approach but healthy criticism is needed for growth. While reading GH article I genuinely understood his POV and I endorsed his views. Reading deep, I thought why did he draw inferences with "Satyamava Jeyade". This is entertainment' that is it. I read few months before 'Lalit Mohan" telling, "It is nothing but another romantic story - cut it".

The channel started airing the episode from June 6' 2011 but I accidentally viewed it only during the month of September. Therefore, for me it is roughly 8 months. I noticed something very common to the writers in the forum this is the first Hindi serial they are viewing after years including myself. My last Hindi serial was "Sparsh".

Therefore, are the transcontinental audiences wasting their time in this serial that is mediocre or our taste mediocre. I knew the writers in the forums are from the intelligentsia occupying responsible positions in the strata of the society. Having said that equivalently when I visited my hometown, I heard from our housekeeper the members of her family view this serial. Trust me these people do no know a word of Hindi, as I am a Tamilian hailing from sub-urban Tamil Nadu.

Are we teenagers to be happy seeing the Rabba ve' - Yes, there is a teenage group, there is a group that has teenagers as their children and equally senior citizens. If entertainment is the only purpose, there are various ways and means to garner them, without wasting our person-hours in deciphering the characters and advocating their significance even to unknown crowd.

Look at the audience you have garnered, you should be really thankful.

The PH and writers should know something more important, the adulation, fame, money and all the paraphernalia are just peripherals. More profound is you have to love your work, it has to be Ibadath (worship). When people were blaming that the work has gone to the dungeon due to the absence of Lalit Mohan, I was blaming the script.

The director does what is in the script, it is the manual guide that he has to work on and directs the artists as per the script. Did director Ramesh Sippy and actor Amjath Khan write 'Gabbar Singh' dialogue "Kitne Aadmi". No, it was purely the work of Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan - screenplay and scriptwriter.

So the show is ruled by you, they whom will we blame? Only you. Why will we not blame you?

Yesterday, my friend took me the screening of a small film festival. The maximum time limit was 10 minutes for the movie. The expatriate community of Indian origin directed it. A renowned director flew from India to judge the work and the results are yet to come.

My friend was a producer of one film the duration is five minutes. It was cat-alogue, story between a five-year-old boy and a cat. It was very presentable and she said that it took one month to complete the project having a full team. Therefore, we can understand the impediments that come your way, but kindly do not dilute yourselves from this responsibility.

You had delivered the best and we expect the best - let the bygones be bygones.

The nexus between the nemeses - Agatha Christi and Binoculars Bond Mami:

In politics, there is a famous statement "There are no permanent allies or permanent foes - only permanent interest". How true this statement stands for this moment in time. The breeding ground for politics is it not the home front. Therefore, I believe this title is appropriate.

Coming to today's episode:

Presumably, a very good episode from my side, the main reason being it emphasized about teamwork and taking someone in confidence. I always had problems with Khushi with this aspect only and that issue finally addressed. Every individual are skilled distinctively therefore, to understand that and bring him or her in a canopy is where intelligence stands.

Agatha Christie bonding with Binoculars bond Mami:

The episode started with a pleasant note everyone in the table having their morning breakfast in peace sans Mami. Her approach could be an irritation affair but to safe guard the family interest is paramount. Whatsoever be the reason she want to highlight to the family that khushi was running a clandestine deal during the absence of Arnav.

Slowly she was disclosing the details to the family members to be promptly interrupted by Khushi. As always mentioned by me, an impromptu idea came to her mind about buying a gift to Arnav. The most notable feature for me was Mami kept quite when Khushi spoke about the "Prithvi Khaadi Bhandaar"

In the span of months, Khushi never took much effort in doing the icebreaking with Mami. All taunts by Mami was ignored politely by Khushi, today, she entered Mami's room and put her valid points about the absence of Arnav.

Why did Khushi disclose the secret to Mamiji, she could have gone to Naniji and told the reason. Nevertheless, why MamiJi?

Take this caption from "Oscar Wilde"

"I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects."

Khushi knew something more that is Mami is intelligent. Intelligence does not come from bookish knowledge it comes from the instinct of survival, from the water spring of ambition and inordinate quest to excel. Mami possess these qualities.

Khushi genuinely believed that she has come under the scanner of Mami and she will catch her red-handed. Already she did. When Khushi gave her the details initially, she did not acknowledge her but after giving her an ultimatum of 24 hours to prove that Arnav is in India she slowly entered the ring.

Bond in action:

Mami took her brother in confidence for getting the primary data but when she knew the brother participation would yield no result, she embarked on her own. She did not waste time, the quest in pursuit of truth made her take strides. With her limited knowledge in English, she started calling the five star hotels in Scotland. Remarkable thinking.

Places that captured me:

Mami: Calling the five star hotel in Scotland

Khushi: taking care of the plants of Arnav and trying to get access to CCTV tapes

How can I leave without a song - nostalgic moments. Shreya : for you again

This song is from the film Mera Saya. Leads are Sadhana Ji and Sunil Dutt Ji. The highlight of the film is music. Ghazal Maestro Madan Mohan Ji was the music director, lyrics by Raja Mehndi Ali Khan Sahab and renditions by our Lata Ji. - Raag Nand Kalyan

Tu jahan jahan chalega
mera saaya saath hoga
mera saaya mera saaya

kabhi mujh ko yaad kar ke
jo bahenge tere aansu
to wahin pe rok lenge
unhe aa ke mere aansu
tu jidhar ka rukh karega
mera saaya saath hoga
