Take 5 ... I wanted to do a special 10,000th post ... couldn't pull it off. So, here is - just a take 5.
So, without much ado a take 5 today ... and I am a bit on the chirpy side today.
1. Why did Jodha take so much time to dress today? To perfectly be color coordinated with her husband, in her new shade of green.
All the begums got new dresses ... but only one was color coordinated with Jalal. Symbolism anyone?I know I am hopeless. ๐ณ
2. I liked Jodha today for her strong stance on Maham Anga ... I loved the way she said - "After what she did, I cannot do anything." This is a stronger Jodha ... who will not easily forgive those that hurt Jalal. Yes, Resham was OTT and literally begged to convince her ... Even then , she only committed to reconsider. ๐
Phew, now I am feeling better about the upcoming plate wars. ๐
Same applies to Jodha-Ruqaiyya, I like Jodha's stronger stance here ... where she is not immediately sympathizing ... and putting herself first which is a welcome change.
3. Loved the stance on girls-boys, with Jalal signing a farmaan on equality! And living up to his own actions with the authority given to Sharifudhin's daughter!
In the Jodha-Jalal chat (where their color coordination shone all the more), Jodha's pride for Jalal was endearing ๐ณ ... but wait, has he already resolved widow remarriage? ๐
And of course, Jalal sent the ball back to the other side of the court! But that his greatness. ๐
Also, way to go Toddy- you had exactly three things to do: Pray for the child, bring the farmaan for signature, and looking shocked at Ruqaiyya's request. ๐๐ Arrey yaar, how could I not mention Toddy today?
4. Ruqaiyya ... not for her ask ... but her courage to go at what she wants with such determination ... I thought the way she countered Jalal's arguments was well put together ... and she tried to gather sympathy points ... albeit unsuccessfully
Wait I am losing track of farmaans ... is this the one for the mirchi war or during the jashn for Jodha ... too many farmaans running around which can not be a good thing for us ๐
(5) But Jalal was the winner all the way ... A mini-take 5 on my five most favorite dialogues today and his tough and angry stance to Ruqaiyya.
1. Do not cross your limits Ruqaiyya ๐
2. There is a difference between saving me from a sin (Khaiber death) and making me do a sin ๐
3. It is God's ordain to give a child to a mother ... I do not have the right on a Mother's love... it is not under my jurisdiction ๐
4. Children are not property to separate ๐
5. Amazing analogy ... I cannot make one person blind to bring the other roshni (light) ๐
So, thoughts on my take and the episode? It's your likes and takes that keep me going.
