What I loved most about this episode, and well, the maNan scene was its understatedness, there was no drama involved, and after having seen a lot of OTHER shows, it's a relief.
These two bring SUCH sincerity and innocence to their intimacy, there is SO much love in manik and nandini for one another that it's like touch and intimacy is as important as it is incidental.I don't know if this makes sense at all, but I love how the rawness that I could see in Manik's expression co-existed with such love and reverence for this girl he loves, while nandini had all that innocence and trust and love shining in her eyes and that reverence and LOVE and gentleness with which they touch each other, every TIME would really bring tears and smiles to anyone, anytime.
