Stealing some thoughts from Ami's post.Indeed it is a challenge over here to introduce our kids the same rituals and fun we used to have.Honestly that is the biggest reason I hate these special occasions and days ,because these days make me so restless and at guilt.No matter how much I tried "pat Baat woh Nahin Bani" ...not same at all...

Kids do things what I ask them or what I trained them but not same , not even close.It hurts sometimes.But again world has been closed and narrowed to the point where these celebrations have lost their meanings.

Sorry just got into these feelings stuff.

Good morning, good evening blasters. Just on a quick visit here. Wanted to share a few thoughts which I got while watching the cricket match.

The cricket test match started today between India and West Indies. It is being played in Kolkata. S. Ganguly is there in the commentary team. What are the chances that BS might make a visit anytime during the 5 day match?

Wiwy, our khaas khabri, any ideas?

Durga

I was also thinking the same thing on the 1 day last match on Saturday when we were discussing one day and test matches and thinking the test match is in Kolkatta will Barun go there or some scene shoot outside the stadium as lot of crowd will be there good scene for a cricket agent

Arshi, thanks for those thoughts. You know woh baat kabhi bhi nahi hogi, becos even we don't feel the same about these festivals anymore after all these years, how can we expect our kids, born and brought up here to feel that? Habitat is very important, and we changed that, so can't expect the tender plants to bear identical flowers and fruits of the earlier habitat. My try would only be to introduce the flavor to them to the best of my expertise, after that it would be their interest and intent. I see my son is very much into music, I didn't have to try hard for it. If they find it really interesting, I am sure they will follow the suit. So, please don't feel bad or it. Becos as long as they enjoy what they do, and its not harmful to any one and in their best interest, it should be fine.

Ofcourse the definition of celebrations or even mourning changed leaps and bounds .Remember in the good old days, there used to 3 day state mourning and everything used to come to stand still when some state official passes away, On Jan 30th there used to be a 2 min siren for silence in the schools, I wonder if that still happens.. may be not.. people get killed, atrocities happen .. but that is all only for a 30 min dinner table news in the evening, and every one would be worried only about reaching work on time next morning.. can't get any more practical!! Even all the festivities look more for marketing than anything else. some times I wonder what requires to be done to quell this chaos for a sec and retrospect what needs be done and is being done...

Can't get any more cynical .. is it? Me and my ASR!!

Arshi, Horizon

Good discussion I was telling my mom that whether my son will follow all the things I do on festivals and year by year I also feel that maybe next year I cant do this its really back breaking but somehow do every year so far. No doubt my mother was upset when I spoke my thoughts aloud. and find similar posts here.

sohara, lovely take.

so detailed and intense... your feelings accentuating the ordeal.

my comments in blue on the text.

about the acting which you refer to above in red, my opinion, no one even comes close to barun. sanaya is brilliant in parts, but sometimes very good, not all the way to brilliant. but barun, almost every scene just too good. okay, till 186, there has been only one or may be two places where i've felt he could have pushed it a bit or was a little out of it. it's in the quality of his performance i feel... he just takes it somewhere else... he becomes the character... so almost anything seems natural. not an actor acting. i hope he never loses this quality.

i do however like utkarsha naik and feel she is really talented and jayshree t was a lovely nani ji... a lot of nuance in her acting, again most natural. barun and jayshree complimented each other perfectly.

i never found akshay dogra to be a strong actor, but he seemed rather sweet and at times interpreted akash nicely... a certain lovely gentleness with a touch of the goofy... but to grow and flesh t a character you need to give it more...my feeling, not the only way to look at it no doubt.

Thank you so much Indi for reading.

ASR sure did mistake by trusting that snake and kept him in his house. He should eradicate him without thinking of Anjali. But Anjali was his weak point. After losing his parents she was his world. Later Khushi obviously. And you said it right that, Anjali was loser for sure. Poor woman! I wish if the cvs would've brought a nice loving guy for her in the show! Hopefully in season-2.😃

Can't agree more of what you said about Barun's acting. I love Sanaya's acting too. specially her comic timing is superb. And you know a successful comedian is apparently a good actor. Even in intense scene. she never goes over the top. Nani and mami's role was not complex, like ASR and Khsuhi. But they did justified their character.

Most interesting thing is, I've watched some episodes of Madhubala. Gosh how my nanijaan even compared Vivian with Barun. he is not a good actor at all and doesn't come a bit close to our Barun. But sigh he and KSG has been considering the best actors and getting all the awards.!😭 Even dhrashti is not as good as Sanaya. And I didn't like their high pitched talk during intense scene, what i never saw in Barun and Sanaya's acting. It may sounds irrelevant, but have to say that IPK's script is far standard than Madhubala or any other recent serials i watched. really after watching IPK and Barun and Sanaya's awesome jodi, it's impossible to hook to another show.

OK, Durga, as I run through the pages and find many interesting convos on the hate marriage I want to comment up on, but I will start with this lighter one.:)

There was this one of my most fav historical novels "Arya Chanakya" from years ago, towards the end Chanakya orders the king's aides to jump into the sea as a way to learn swimming which was his style of teaching to his disciples, and some one gets astonished "what? even the king's aides are your disciples"??(meaning Chanakya wont spare even them)..:)

So now even Cricket field is not spared is it??:) Before IPK, cricket used to be my obsession, but lately some one has to tell me that there is a match going on and every one seem to talk about a certain player and I have to ask "Virat who??" as he is some one prospered in the last 2 years when I was (am) in living in a different world!

Coming to your point, there is every chance for that becos he is shooting for a cricket based movie in the same town, more over this is his (mine too) fav Sachin's last series!
