A wily wife once convinced her husband to get her his mother's heart. The uxorious husband killed his mother, ripped her heart out and hurried towards his wife with her prize. On the way he tripped over a stone and fell down, dropping the heart on the rough ground. The mother's heart screamed in anxiety and concern "Son, take care. Dear god; keep all evil eyes away from my son"!
A brother sister duo I am very close to, who lost their mom when they were 1 and 3 respectively, tell me even today that they wish they had rather lost their father instead of their mother.
We hail our country as 'Mathrubhumi'.
Our Hindi movies and serials made and still make a lot of money by playing on the 'Maa' sentiment.
Why?
Simply because the mother - child relationship is supreme. It just cannot find an equal. A mother actually dies to bring a new life in to this world. Nine months of discomfort, suffering, anxiety, then the labor pains and finally the blessed cry! Have a look at a new mother's face when she beholds her little one for the first time; when she gingerly takes her in to her arms, touches those tiny hands, caresses those tiny legs, feels her tiny heart beat - tears of joy flood her face that shines like she has got a new life! Suddenly - all the pain, suffering, horrors of the delivery room is forgotten; life becomes worth living.
A mother just doesn't give birth to her child. She defines, forms, shapes a ball of raw clay in to a human being of flesh and blood, capable of feeling and reciprocating love. They say a (wo)man was derived from a part of man, a part of the man's ribs to be precise. I challenge and disown this sentiment. Every man and woman has his or her origin in the mother. She pours in to her apple of the eye, her everything, expecting nothing in return. She doesn't feed her baby milk in the hope that one day her debts will be paid, she doesn't spend sleepless nights, nursing the baby when its ill in the hope in her worse days, he will do the same to her, she doesn't lovingly clean up his mess and tolerate his tantrums in the hope that in her old age he will be her crutch. She only loves, nurtures, protects and wishes the best for her child and in this pursuit, she can face and fight any obstacles caring for nothing or nobody.
Mother is the umbrella on a rainy day, she is the sunscreen on a hot day, a warm blanket on a cold wintry night- what if she were suddenly snatched away from you one fine day? The life in her, pre-maturely snuffed? What if? Imagine the plight of such an unfortunate 13 year old who suddenly found herself all alone; cruelly orphaned and all her dreams and happiness, dashed to the ground, in one blow? Will you blame her for hating the person who single handedly threw her in to a pit of absymal dismay?
When Jai tells his wife that he was responsible for her mother's death, she is stunned beyond belief but the bilking time, ticking away makes sure that what her brain is aware of, right now, is only the fact that the man she loves unconditionally, the man who is such an important part of her that the very thought of losing him, makes her feels empty, is going to get wiped out in a matter of seconds. The prospect of losing her dearest one kindles a terrible fear in her. It also makes her decisive about wanting to share death if not life, with this man. So she rushes in to his arms and as they both wait for death to sanctify their selfless love, their fierce embrace and their commendable choice to die together is the proof of the triumph of love in its purest form. I have no words to describe how beautifully they portrayed this sentiment.
But all good things must come to an end. The moment Munna and his Bahu were thrown away by the impact of the explosion and they rolled over one another, I knew our good times are over. Gosh! Chhota Munna dearest, are you ok? The way your Papa and Mama were rolling and rolling, like somebody was rolling out rotis, I feared greatly for your safety. Imagine a ten stone frame on top of you! Thankfully the rolling stops and gosh!What an erotic posture. The way the camera was zooming on them, I so wished their fairy godmother came along and converted that manhoos Mukesh Mills in to their bedroom and the dry leaves strewn floor in to their much abused double bed. No such luck. Amma's right hand makes funny movements, she stirs and tries to get up but cannot and wonders what's that heaviness on her shoulder. She turns and Shock! It's darling Hubby's 3 and half stone head following her past example and using her hand as his pillow. Munna is disturbed by her movement and he wakes up too. Both stare like they have seen the ghost. At least Munna has! His first reaction is to look towards the debris. Both look at each other and the 'Jiya dhadak dhadak' plays. Ouch! Such sad lyrics. How true. Good times had just started smiling upon them and kiski nazar lag gayi you ask? Amma's stupid curiosity ki. Gosh! Munna looked fabulous. He really looks like he has just woken up from the dead. It's ironical that people often look their best when they are at their worst.
The only saving grace scene of the episode is over as Amma possessing the ears of an overgrown sick Bat hears a clicking sound and alarms my poor Munna by saying it's another Bomb and they should get out of there. Arrey Scotland yard, pakad ke le ja re ise. We IFians will pay you for your favor.
The most irritating scene ever! As the two try to leave the place, a hand filled with bangles to the limit of insanity starts clapping. Cobra comes in smiling wickedly. Munna's face implies that his Bull dog avtar is getting ready to rare. No such luck for us. Cobra keeps going round and round JB, uttering sheer crap. I felt she was taking the seven pheras. I guess Rakshanda's acting will be counted as good acting. Frankly I cannot say because I am just sick and tired of these vamps, especially Ekta vamps pouting and doing all those nakras and jhatkas with their eyes and hands. Plain irritating. The vamps are all the same. No variety. Only difference is perhaps their height and build. Yeah yeah the dialogues were pretty good. They brought to light the inherent malice and cruelty of this woman called Roshni Chopra. Look at that ghoulish smile that wicked glee, that fiendish gleam - that made her look almost inhuman. But sorry just not interested. I was literally yawning and wishing this scene will get over fast. Prrrrrr my sworn enemy makes an entry. BTW why was he enunciating every word when he was talking to Cobra on the phone? - "our Plaan was saksesss fuul Rooshnii- like Cobra was a cretin. Of course she is but didn't expect this creature with the IQ of a pair of socks to know that. Cobra gives him a friendly punch by way of thanks. You filthy rat dropping, what are you blushing for? Fancy you won the Bharatratna? So silly. Seven years back, Cobra paid him 5 lakhs and in gratitude, he traps Munna today? Bombing is criminal offence and can earn him plenty of years in Jail. The school drop out obviously doesn't know that. Ignore the black noodles that pass for his hair and the jamadar attire and you can see this guy is quite good looking. There is something- x factor about him. He is a cool dude and can carry almost any dress to distraction. He is talented too. But Like Urvashi and Rakshanda, Shabbir too has been typified as the bad boy. It is so sad that in India actors get stuck with one image and getting out of it is as good as coming professional suicide. Hopefully Ekta will put this man's talents to good use.
After some silly grins, both leave the place, leaving my Munna to Amma's mercy. A greatly disappointing scene this "I hate you Mr.Walia". Bani's sentiments were perfectly justified. Death staring her in the face had numbed her feelings, had delayed her normal reactions so that the only thing on her mind then was that the man she loves deeply is going to be no more and without hesitation she embraces his fate to make it their fate. Deaths and births are great unifying factors. Birth teaches you to count your blessings and smell the roses while death teaches you how insignificant we all are in the scheme of things, it teaches you the value of life, the value of pleasure lying in simple things. But once you have survived the horror of losing each other, the other things that were pushed to the back of the mind now start become clearer and demand justice. Your spontaneous reactions demand scrutiny. You start thinking with your mind rather than your heart. Or should I say that you still think with your heart but through different eyes.
Merely 20 years old and Bani's young life has seen all the ups and downs that even a 80 year old wouldn't have. All these years, she drank her tears hid her fears and played mom to her sisters and father, neither complaining nor blaming anybody, not even God. Today suddenly she realizes that all the sufferings the pain needn't have been there had this man not killed her mother. If only her mother had been there. We don't know what kind of a person Nishikant was. Looks like he was spineless. It doesn't matter to the daughter. What matters is that she saw him breaking down, dying every minute, incapable of supporting himself much less her. She looks at the man standing in front of him and every frame of her distressing past stands in front of her - her childhood could have been like any other child's- happy, carefree. Because of this man's carelessness, her happy family got destroyed, dreams shattered - the man standing in front of her is a proof, reminder of a sorrowful past that could have been different. And remember Munna himself thinks his sin is so great that it cannot be forgiven. I think her lasts entence is the key to understanding her behaviour "aaj tak maine aapki bahut nafrat sahi hai. Aajse aap meri nafrat dekhenge." Today it strikes her hard that this man who had destroyed her childhood had instead of feeling guilty, had treated her and her sisters like dirt, demoralized them, insulted them - Bani is entirely justified.
Her wrath at Munna is justified but the performance was hardly. Everything was wrong. The dialogue delivery, performance, bg. For the first time I felt Prachi's voice was keech keech- rat like squeak. The emotional out burst eh? Hardly. Compare this with the one on 19th June. No comparison. This one looks so forced and unnatural. Maybe because Prachi herself was unconvinced about it or because Ram couldn't support her this time. Ram's expressions were as expected, pathetic compared to his past stunning performances. Yet he was still the saving grace of yesterday's episode in spite of his under performance. That he came to shoot at all, in his advanced state of illness is commendable. Bravo Ram. And though it will be a punishment to watch KS without you, I am willing to make a sacrifice so you can get your much needed break.
And what was with the bg music?Pathetic! It should have been something stirring. It was crap. Maybe the creative team loved playing seesaw in their childhood. Tabhi tho ek din ultimate tho doosra din gutter water. What was that dialogue? - Aapko patha tha ki aapne mere maa ko mara tho mujhse shadi kyun ki?" Moron, he wouldn't have wanted to touch you with even a ten foot pole much less marry you. You sister ditched him, remember? Gosh! The whole scene looked forced. Do I see a familiar pattern here? Doesn't this smell of 'Koi dil mein hai?' Afterall Mayi is the only producer who steals plots from her own shows!Wife hates husband. Gets pregnant. Decides to abort the child. Husband begs her not to. Reconciliation and when everything's going smooth, husband dies. Enter duplicate. It went so awful they had to end it, thankfully. I hope KS will not become like that. But then Mayi par sab depend kartha hai. She loves this mix and match, bless her!
I can imagine how it will go on from here. This week and the next we will see Rudrakali in her full form. Chhota Munna and Mausiji have to be our saviours. Remember the Aditya Jiggu scene? So they were hinting at chhota Munna. That a man and woman can stay away from each other but a father and mother cannot. That's a bright side. It will be fun to see Mausiji fussing over Bani and getting munna to slave over her and bringing them closer. Rest assured Amma doesn't hate Munna. It's just a combination of shock and harmones. I have heard when you are expecting, you go crazy because your hormones go crazy. It will be fun to watch the boot on the other leg though I don't know how I'm going to watch me Munna being hated.Gosh Bani what's the point of this hatred I may ask.But that's the whole point.It is pointless. It is not going to bring back Kiran Dixit but hate and love is not logical. You wonder if this is the same woman who said Munna is not to blame when she thought he had accidentally killed Ma Cobra.But when the victims are swapped and she realizes it's her own mom, the enormity strikes her. I only hope she will in time realize that by trying to avenge the hurt by hatred, she is only keeping her wounds green and prolonging the agony because by hurting Munna she will only be hurting herself. I am sure chhota Munna will set all that right. He will make sure his parents is kasauti par bhi khara uthrenge. After all life and marriage is all about adjusting, realizing and accepting each other' bests and worsts. Every obstacle brings JB closer, by making them equal in all respects. They have much learning and teaching to do, so they can become really worthy of each other and true martyrs of love. I am sure JB will come around. Their new beautiful relationship will see to it. I have no doubts unless Mayi decides to show her true aukad.
Today the accident was much clearer. The two cars are on a collision course and one of the cars hit the lamp post under which brainless Kiran is standing. Wonder why the hell and what the hell was she doing on that godforsaken night, in that godforsaken weather, under that godforsaken lamp post? Mental! The children take after her. I mustn't blame Bani and her sisters hereafter. Bechare woh kya karein-Dixits are khandhani mental. My poor Munna kahan phas gayare? And now chhota Munna too.All my hopes will go down the drain if it happens to be a Munni!They showed papa Dixit just once, sitting moodily in the hospital. I find his actions terribly fishy. I am hundred per cent positive that my Munna is innocent. Come on all our ingenious theories cannot go to waste! I am just sure about this. Someone else is involved probably from the Walia household. I hope it's Aditya.That would be interesting.
BTW. All this boby affair is supposed to be happening on Sunday, judging from the SUN flashing on the dhak dhak dubba. That means 19th June to 9th July - is this time enough? Not too soon? Well well! It's my Munna after all. He is one potent son of Jove!Ek hi baarme sixer?Wah Munna! You and MT's frog faced boyfriend are quite a pair. I feel sorry for these couples though.Enjoy karne ke liye time hi nahin hai.Before they know they will be changing diapers.
A disappointing episode but worth watching all the same. I think the quality will improve only when Ram gets ok. Get well soon dear. I cannot wait to see Jiggu Kitty and Swamiji's face when the good news is announced! And wonder how Munna will react? Amma of course will be mad. I am laughing already imagining her eraction. I hope she throws all the pillows on Munna. It will be fun.Ouch my Munna. He will deserve the treatment at Bani's hands but remember I am a MCP(male chauvinistic Pig)? I just cannot imagine my Munna getting ill treated. My poor baby! God be with you. But somehow I have this feeling in me bones that Jai walia will somehow be different. Not lik the usual wimpish Ekta heroes. Maybe its wishful thinking but I don't and cannot see Munna like say Anurag; crying and sullen. I hope they don't make a mockery of Jai Walia. Cannot wait for tonight.

Best answer to yesterday's teaser was Piscean's. Very touching.Congratulations dear.đ
Thanks guys for your great response.You all rock!Kya answers the.đSan Di, aapka hukum sar aankhon par- here are all the answers:
now the teaser..To avoid facing the wrath of IFeans , Bani ran into Munna's arms where she knows is safe... - lighthouse
Why would amma hug munna???
She thought she can give the shield so munna will not get burnt.. after all she is a super woman!!! - Why would amma hug munna???
She thought she can give the shield so munna will not get burnt.. after all she is a super woman! -Vaaz
Answer to your teaser:
She hoped that Munna's 15 stone bulk could shield her from the blast.
- Tisha
Amma hugged Munna to make sure they would be rocketed into the skies as a single body! - maria-n
Well a probable answer to your teaser:
Amma hugged Munna since at that moment when he says the soulful "main jaa raha hoon Bani" she realised that nothing would hurt her more than to live a life without the man she loves....the fact that he accidentally killed her mother, the pain that he had caused her earlier, the insults he showered on her...nothing mattered at this point in time! She was in love with the man and he was going to die so to her it only made sense to make him aware of her love for him and to let him know that there was no life beyond him for her -Piscean
What did Chhota Munna tell God?
That's it folks. Let us welcome our chhotu with welcome hands. Let us hope he is as hot as his Pa and as sensible as Mausiji which I think he is. If 'he' turns out to be 'she' who takes after Mamma Walia, God help me! What if Bani walis is not pregnant at all?That will be such a slap on me face.
Have a great day dears.đ
