I thought you were already there, my dear, but do you mean going over now? I am posting on the last episode in a bit, as a sort of joint response to you and Sandhya. The Hand of Fate.

😆..will go once u have posted..i was there just came here to answer my post where i too got DT's note!

Exactly, Munni. I do not see why there is all this fuss about Jalal accepting food from a NON-beggar (caps intentional!) . Any great king would have done the same - Vikramaditya or Raja Raja Chola, or Ashoka. It is a manifestation of their innate humility and their having the common touch; the first is mandatory for a great human being, and the second is mandatory for a great ruler.

As for the sikka, do see my response above to Adiana and the others.

Well I just want to say positive things. Honestly I found it a gr8 gesture from jalal tht he actually gracefully accepted the food from tht poor man. Nd actually thts a true king for me who can treat evryone equally. 2ndly thnk god tht jalal remembered khan baba's talim at least for today he hasn't got completely mad in love. Other than jalal again blaming himself the episode was not bad. Even jo was also bit better today. I think jodha's coin will save jalal but still it will be better than pratap saving him.

shyamala, for a change i liked jalal today and rajat portrayed every action with full conviction!

Sandhya my pet,

Now this is not worthy of you! How can you say that for Jalal to accept food from that poor woodsman(NOT a beggar; he was quite insistent about it, remember?) was in any way degrading? It was NO such thing.

I agree completely with Munni. Any great king would have done the same - Vikramaditya or Raja Raja Chola, or Ashoka. It is a manifestation of their innate humility and their having the common touch; the first is mandatory for a great human being, and the second is mandatory for a great ruler.

Aaj to Shahenshah was made to buy food from a beggar.

If suddenly there is some mass destruction, earthquake or terrible calamity at Karjat we can be sure that Akbar's spirit is behind it...spewing venom with vengeance for having portrayed him in the most degraded way possible.

Today the only sensible dialog was spoken by our coconut haired boot polish bearded Abul Mali. If that too doesn't drill sense into Jalal, then he is a goner.

Why do these fellows speak lengthy lengthy dialogs even in live or die situations? Why talk when they have to shoot?

I think pretty soon we should set up an IF Order of the DT Note Holders.😉 I am going to switch to the e-mail group from tomorrow, if I can. Have you PMed me your e-mail id? I think you have, but let me check.

Go over to see my latest there in one hour from now; it is 11:29 am here!

What a pose by Abul Mali before showing his BOOTiful face to Jalal 😆...hilarious with his Zulfein leheraaoing around him 😆

My dear girls,

How can you be so unfeeling as to question the hoary, impeccable ancestry of this plot device? Shame on you disbelievers!😉

Why, it was used for Amitabh' s Vijay time and again, most notably in Deewaar, when his Billa No. 786 stops a bullet, aur yeh to sirf Abul Mali ki shamsheer hai!

I am sure Jodha's coin will save her suhaag, but the scene was frightful, and I literally winced as the sword drove home and Jalal's body jerked under the blow.

The curious thing is that the coin was a Mughal coin, the engraving was in Persian, one could see the cursive script when he puts it back in his cummerbund. The occasion for Jodha giving that to him was unclear, but liked her new dress!

More later.

I would have loved it if Jalal would have broken into a song:

"Ho, STUBBLE Hai Ya PAINT KIYA Hai

Zulf Ghaneri Shaam Hai Kya

DAGGERS Jaisi Aankhon VaalE

Ye To Bataa Tera Naam Hai Kyaa" 😆

abul mali finally got out of the hut to do some action😆..wig ko fevicol se fix kiya tha kya...itna action but the wig did not even move an inch,,!
