Another awesome take on the epi Mais. This episode while random come across as a better one to me than the last one. Last one had this heaviness - the kind that follows explosions, quieter somehow. After Cabir's confession and MaNan hug, the follow up was thick with the residue of it all.

This episode however had quite a few nuggets that got me thinking. Now I am not going to talk about MaNan cuz you and others have covered it all soo well so I would rather talk about three other characters that caught my attention.

Cabir:

He scares me now. It seems that since he has gotten assurance from Manik, there's no holding him back. It was just the tiny push he had been craving for. He is getting reckless. And that spells bad things for both Raghav and himself. There's nothing more potent than blind hope and today he was daring and could have easily outed both of them had anyone been really paying attention. Don't get me wrong, I loved that RagBir were treated as a proper couple in hiding but his actions could easily land them in issues neither are quite ready to deal with just yet. He needs to continue to keep his head straight. He can't lose it just yet.

Harshad:

He's ruthlessly focused on his plan. He wants to destroy Fab5's bond come what may. But Fab5 as an entity and the people in it have merged in his head. So hell bent is he on breaking the group that he doesn't care that he might destroy and shatter the people who have nothing but the group as a support system. While I'm surprised that he didn't target Mukti who is so obviously the most vulnerable of them all, his hatred is going to force him to take steps he won't be able to retract. Outting Cabir I feel is going to shock him. He knows there is a secret but he doesn't quite grasp the impact out outting that particular secret just yet. And I have a feeling that he may regret it in the long run but it will be too little too late. Because essentially I don't think Harshad is an evil sadist who enjoys others pain, he is just manipulative and wants what he wants - without thinking through the consequences.

Dhruv:

I was genuinely pissed off with him yesterday. And here is why. He figures out that he is infatuated (or is in love, as he believes) with Nandu. And yet like always instead of seeking her out, talking to her, stealing some quiet moments with her, hell even a dance with her since it's a party - what does he do? Storm off because HE feels uncomfortable. Doesn't stay even when Alya points out he might have a chance to dance with Nandu. He lets his feelings, his emotions cloud his actions once again. Yet again he puts Nandu on the back burner, there for his taking whenever he chooses to, whenever he makes up his mind. You don't do that. You just don't do that and expect the girl to be there waiting for you for however long you need. I am almost vindictively pleased that MaNan get to share a dance. It's Dhruv's loss due to his own doings. Idiot.

And just one little note regarding the Manik-Dhruv convo. Remember how Manik always said it's the secrets that will break them, not the truth? Well now he is turning Nandini into an unspoken secret between them. Something that is going to brew over and erupt in their faces one day. And man, what an angsty road to heartache they pave.

That's it. My two-cent. Now I await today's episode. Loved the way Manik was soo intently focused on her, you could feel the intensity coming off of him in waves in that little snippet they showed of their dance. Nandu doesn't stand a chance.

Two things I'm worried about. Will Harshad be able to get hold of Cabir's secret. The spiked drink, Cabir has it. </3

Navya! What if she's going to dress up like Anjali like KKHH and become a laugh riot? I don't want that.

I'm only going to mention the point I loved.
Manika on Dhruv's conversation. He speaks what Nandini taught him, the Prof. Nandu taught him. Grow up, accept the new emotions, and move on. The effect this girl has on him. She makes him see things clearly. How does she have such knowledge. WOW!

Manik comes to know about Dhruv and Nandini's friendship, he goes and asks her, for confirmation, and says "He doesn't like it." I like how he doesn't shy away from voicing out his displeasure. He doesn't like, bas.
I think he'll let her be free once they're in love, once he's rid of all his insecurities. Coz he never had a great life, and if he falls for Nandini and gets to know that someone else also has the same feelings, he is bound to be insecure and possessive. Once he understands that she's going nowhere, and is all his, he'll let her be. I'm sure.

^Did I make sense? 😕

Other thing, the way he holds her hand and asks her to say a "YES" to their meeting. He's not thinking about their mission, he's thinking about being with her. He is scared, thinking if he leaves her even for a moment she might be gone. And all this because he's not sure about his feelings, about her feelings. He needs to reach that secure place and then he'll be okay with her and Dhruv's friendship. That's what I'd like to think.
So don't worry, he'll not be like those psychotic lovers who want their girlfriends to not talk to any guy. 😆

Precap. Bas abhi aajao!
I swear I missed Adnan's voice so much. That song just makes me want to stretch my arms out and dance like nobody's watching. I love that song. <3



Am I wrong to want to watch tomorrow's episode like right now? Abhi? I GOTS TO WATCH IT! f**k my socio midterm on Friday!

Harshad's intentions scare me.
I have stopped being surprised at Navya. I really don't care about this girl. Like, no.

Honestly? When Manik was talking to Dhruv, mere mind mein chal raha tha, "yahan kya preaching session chalu hai? Wo isse sikha rahi hai, wo seekh ke kisi aur ko sikha raha hai!" 🤣

Okay, it was good of Manik to be all upfront about his feeling that he doesn't like Nandini being with Dhruv but..I didn't like it. I really didn't. Though I loved it how he just stopped at the 'because' when the realization seeped in and he looked at the hands which were holding her and for a second, he became all shocked ke what the hell am I doing? But his reasonings later on...he's driving Nandini away from Dhruv for crappy reasons. It's weird and a bit non-Manik for me. I can be wrong, but it felt unlike Manik to dictate Nandini who she should befriend or not.

And if this is to go on till they fall in love then tou I'll be majorly pissed. Because then she'd be denied the freedom of choice. If Manik goes all, "Me, me, ME!" on Nandini then it no longer remains the MaNan I am crazy for. Their progress has happened freely, Nandini has chosen to be comfortable with Manik, from her own free will she spends the moments with him that she does. There's no forcing. Yeah, Manik pushes her to a certain point but whatever happens next, there's no blame game there ke ji, you forced me to do this. Manik's jealousy right now seems forceful. Yeah, Monster Manik can be all demanding that they'd do things their way. But even Monster Manik wouldn't dictate Nandu who to befriend or not..

I need to mention here...i love reading ur posts sweety ...i really do!!! ❤️

I ship Rag-bir & i Loved the surprise Cabir planned for him!!<3 & the way Cabir was lost while they sang HBD..awww..he really loves him a lot!!😃 But as u said..I'm scared abt their future as don't want any of them to get hurt or suffer..especially cabir!!


Dhruv ki izzat khatre me hai!!🤣🤣🤣

Loved how Nandu's words affects Manik!!😃


How beautifully U've explained them in these lines..👏

Manik and Nandini were in their original zone today. Nandini, asking obvious logical questions; Manik, being speechless in return and turning into his Monster mode. Kids 😆 I really don't blame Nandini at the reaction she showed. Why would she expect that Manik doesn't like her hanging out with Dhruv because he doesn't want her getting closer to him? Nandini has no idea about Dhruv's feelings for her. It's Manik who has some idea that Dhruv's feelings for Nandini have never been completely platonic. They have bordered on crush. Funny thing is that now even Manik doesn't know that the point of crush has long been passed, Dhruv's terming his feelings as love. For Nandini, Dhruv and Manik have always been two separate beings. She has always worked on this idea and has proved that she knows how to separate her different feelings for the two guys. She had said it clearly to Dhruv that he's her friend, and she made it clear to Manik as well that Dhruv has always been her friend. I don't blame her for not seeing the spark in Dhruv's eyes when she's with him. Aren't crushes like that? Stupid, clueless people xD


Dialogue of the day: I don't like it!!😳

Precap was amazing!!❤️




Rosie! Baby! Please call me Mais..my full name seems weird here 😆

Cabir is being all out in love for Raghav and Mukti noticed it. The way things are going between them, I believe trouble is just round the corner waiting for them.

Even in my opinion it was a random episode.. LOL..
Anyway, the points you mentioned were what stood out for me too.. I was laughing like anything when he like a kid told Nandu -"I don't like it"..ha ha!

Honestly, even i am very scared for RaghBir to be precise for Cabir as i connect more to him.. This Harshad is getting on my nerves. I think he knows Cabir is a Gay only doesn't know the Man he is dating. Harshad is being really mean and cruel.. God knows why..? :|

Precap- Hayye how beautifully the song suited their current situation.. Manik was all looking out for her in the whole party.. I am just loving it all <3

Mais, I disagree a little with the jealousy part.
Wasn't Manik equally jealous of Nandini when she entered Dhruv's life? Hasn't he always been the one to keep the person he loves entirely to himself? Dhruv knows it fairly well, hence the decision of breaking off with Nandini.
I am not condoning his behaviour. He is definitely a control-freak. But my point is, hasn't he always been the same? Manik has the impulsive need to control other people and their lives. That's what he does. His feelings are so confusing regarding Nandini that I would have been more surprised if he wasn't going all control-freaky on her. At least in the beginning. That was the whole point of his journey. His ego, his control-freaky issues.
Really annoyed with Harshad right now. He is pushing too hard to find out Cabir's secret. IDK but from his expressions, I get this feeling that he is somehow aware of what the secret may be. Raghav and Cabir, though. They break my heart, they do. Love can so difficult. So confusing.

The epi pata nahin kyun lacked the impact for me...it was nice, just not amazing. But it happens so meh! 😃

Like I said, MaNan were in their zone 😆 Manik abhi is realllyyy so confused, it's a bit adorable but I my brain went all "warning! warning! danger ahead if this continues!" at the scene. I think I am over-reacting but hey, that's what I felt.

Harshad is...urgh! This guy tenses me like no one else! Aaj tou Nandu bhi said that he can be damn weird. I admit I found it sweet how he immediately felt guilty and apologized with an explanation but man...he's so gonna eff up Cabir's life by using his secret. I am darn worried about Cabir.

Mereko bus tomorrow's epi chaiye. BUS! 😳

Loved this one so much!!
I am worried because I have a feeling Raghav's coming out would be this week and under circumstances that he neither hoped or wanted. I feel Harshad ploy might net Raghav and that would be ugly.

Manik-Dhruv
They both have some idea about what each feels for Nandu and that is why reluctance is on both sides to discuss it openly. They both are not bowing out, which is good.
The thing is Manik had an inclination that Dhruv has a little crush or something non-platonic . And while now he is at a stage with Nandu where there is no going back for him and I think he is sure of Nandu's slight inclination towards him which makes it even more hard for him to control. He is controlling , always have been. Fab5 , Dhruv and now Nandu. She is firefly and he cannot let her go. he cannot stop Dhruv , but with nandu he is trying to communicate about Dhruv's thing without wording his own feelings for her.

But this is part of his maturity now, he has to trust Nandu enough and allow the lady to define her relationships the way she wants them to be. He had trust issues, controlling issues and Nandu's wisdom gets to him- thats the good part. It's his journey to "grow-up".

I said this above, maybe I over-reacted. But this was my instant reaction seeing the scene. If I think about it then yeah, it's like Manik to do that. When things become too confusing for him, he reverts back to his controlling self. That's Manik. I can let it slide abhi, it wasn't even that major (again, me went over-react mode 😆) but I just couldn't help not connecting it to the future. What if this just grows on? What if he doesn't stop and they come to the point where he has to force his feelings and intimacy on her. That's what has me worried. Because that's not Manik and that's definitely not MaNan.

I think Harshad knows that Cabir is not straight but he doesn't know who Cabir is dating. Because he wasn't all that suspicious or anything like that during the party. He was all eyes for Cabir only and no one else. It'd be weird that after that reaction we get to know that Harshad was well aware of RagBir. Drama is in store for us...Cabir's secret is gonna be revealed in a major dhamaka way.

Raghav is happy in the shadows and keen on staying there and I don't blame him. It sucks that because of someone's personal animosity with Cabir, Raghav will also be dragged in the bitter limelight. This will be a HUGE trouble for RagBir. Because Raghav is not only reluctant regarding coming out, he's also Cabir's teacher. It literally spells TROUBLE.

I don't think Dhruv has any idea about Manik's growing attraction for Nandini. Manik tou has seen Dhruv and Nandini being all close but never has Dhruv seen it. He has only heard it from Manik's mouth, and Manik has never really come cleaned about everything. Dhruv just knows that Manik has a personal interest/obsession with Nandini. But since they don't actually discuss Nandini, both of them are pretty much clueless about the other's feelings regarding her.

I think I'll just let today's scene slide, but I really didn't like it much. It's too soon to judge anything. Let's see how Manik behaves in the future.

@But Dhruv has an inclination. Remember he told Alya when these two were looked in the store room that with these two anything is possible. He also was exaggerated with Nandu's chant about Manik. He took them separately in that hike place to settle their differences because it was messing him too. He has always been equally uneasy.
It's just that while Manik is more expressive, his knowledge is more visible.

Mais, I do think it was instinctive reaction of Manik. He says all the things to Nandu but it's only when he gets a lecture from her, he starts seeing the sense. I guess one more is due. He warned her about Harshad, about Dhruv before too, but then he learns to live through it. Yet it is faily ok for him to not be so comfortable about their friendship till everything is clear between the three.


Raghav's teacher angle will be huge. Today, we saw how much he is respected! This and more will be on line. Scary.
