Its been quite a while since i put my own personal rantings down on paper.. or should i say typed them out on the keyboard.. but i must confess its been a while since i even read an update for the show...! And last night while i was writhing in pain from a bad case of stomach flu.. i watched the show for the simple reason that the batteries in the remote gave up their ghost and it was a very long to the TV set..!
But i would have to thank the makers of the show for the episode they aired.. I laughed so hard that i forgot all about the cramps and was more concerned about not falling off the couch..!
Well.. lets see.. i noticed a lot of changes.. like all the entire interior of the Shah mansion had had a makeover.. And Milsi seems to have had a makeover as well.. and i'm not sure whether i like it or not..!( i guess people still watching this show.. god bless you all for your patience and tolerance btw.. anyway.. you all must have noticed this a long long time ago.. but i'm watching after a couple of months.. so bear with me..) But nothing important has changed.. Milind is still clueless.. Ayesha is still evil.. and Prachi is still in tears.. and Neev is still cute as ever..! Ok the last part is very very important..!
Now we start the episode with Neev giving Prachi the bright idea to go and look every inch the damsel in distress in front of Milind.. little did he realize how much distress the poor girl was actually going to be in a very short while..!!
Well of course he had also orchestrated the whole Ayesha being detained by an almost manic Niharika.. who kept wanting to know why Ayesha would want to insult her..! well.. lets see.. why does Ayesha do anything these days.. revenge money or 'mera milind' Niharika shoudl have just picked one or all the three..! Niharika seemed to have a death grip on Ayesha's wrist.. you have to wonder how and when Niharika got so strong..! And why didn't Ayesha just slap her across the face..?! Anyway.. Ayesha did manage to get away but alas it was after Milind gallantly offered Prachi a ride back..
Ok.. So Milind saw Neev walking away and then sees Prachi coming and offers a ride after learning that she is stranded.. common sense.. call Neev up and say listen fool you forgot your fiance come pick her up.. common sense number two.. Ok Prachi you wait.. Ayesha will be on her way we can all go home together.. you know we live at the same house.. uncommon lovesick sense.. My fiance is running a little late.. so let me drop you home.. double back and come pick her up.. wasiting time energy and petrol in a world already going through an energy crisis..!
So there they are driving away.. and thinking these romantic and profound thoughts.. i mean we've heard all these a million times.. so obviously they've thought them many times more.. we are bored but apparently they aren't..! And in between these confusing and confused mental conversations.. Milind realizes that the brakes don't work..!
Of course the Mishras and the shahs back home are worried about the missing married couple.. Mishra is worried for their safety.. And dadi is worried about her carefully laid plans going awry... Maybe she's shifted her attentions from Neev to Milind and is threatened by Prachi's presence..? hmmm.. lets all ponder..!
So now when Neev decides to tell all about his brilliant plan.. (the same one that inadvertently has the main protagonists hurtling towards eminent doom..!) Ayesha stands and fumes in the background.. of course she does manage to corner Neev and demand some explanation.. or was it more along the lines of mindless shrieking.. well whatever they were.. Neev's reacions to Ayesha was pure classic Neev.. loved every second of it..! Seriously he is the only one i can count on these days..!
So well Prachi and Milind are hurtlingdown the road.. but yeah they still manage to have one of their famous eyelocks.. hey.. me personally i would have been screaming my lungs out hoping someone would hear and help. these guys tho.. prefer eyelocks.. And Prachi decides to come clean ( of course we still don't know what she was going to confess) but she runs round and round the subject till they are interuppted by a very well timed phone call from Ayesha.. Now the shah asylum knows the situation.. and neev grabs the phone in panic.. But doesn't get their coordinates.. and then Babaji gets chest pains..! right on time.. and always somehow the wrong time.. Never when its festivities involving MA..!
And Ayesha unperturbed by the plight of the old man in front of her calls the inspector and tells him of the runaway car..!
Common sense.. Milind tries the hand/emergency brake before anything else.. And this is the reason i'm reminded of a scene from my favorite movie of all time.. my south Indian brethren will know it well. its a movie called Micheal Madanakamarajan.. there is a scene in which the brake wire/pipe is cut in one of the heros' cars..! and his bodyguard manages to throw out the emergency brake...! that scene cracks me up everytime.. so i guess we can dedicate this rant to bhim boy..? hmmm...
So coming back to the common sense scenarios.. Common sense number two.. Calling some one or an emergency number when he realizes the brakes don't work.. but of course the eye locking was way more important..
Common Sense number three.. giving someone your location when they do call.. but of course or man only makes promises to Neev that he will bring his wife and his fiance home safe and sound..!
So now they see a cliff approaching.. i wonder if it is the same cliff Milind fell off so many months ago.. And if you thought the sight would jog his memory you would be sadly disappointed.
So he tells Prachi to jump out of a moving car.. and then shoves her out when she doesn't agree... And then the car takes a nose dive.. and ends in a fiery crash.. of course no cause for alarm.. Milind is seen lying on the ground.. Maybe he wanted to make sure that getting thrown or jumping out of a car would be safe by seeing the effect had on Prachi and then decided to try it himself after making sure it was alright..?! hmm...
well.. then Prachi runs to milind and they share a hug.. with Milind's calculated confused expression giving all michians hope that this bump on the head has returned Milind's memory unlike all those bumps before..!
