la la laaaaa!
i'm singing in the rain,
i'm siiiiinging in the rain,
what a glo...rious feeling,
that soon vitchface's gonna feel paaiiin!
๐ sorry, guys. i'm full of coffee, frozen by a random drizzle of rain while getting dropped off home, and my ears're full of the fierce and loud argument that p and the girls had about what's gonna happen in this show next. me, i just sat back and kept remembering that shot of a room full of sleeping boys and wishing that i had the choice of putting all of them on the same bed, and sleeping between prem and preet. ๐คฃ big boys while sleeping somehow look soooooo cute! and those are really one cute looking set of boys....
*little thing: didn't do a bt,lt yesterday. all high drama and cute stuff. i bet the last segment with prem-heer busily loving each other and hugging each other (oh so yummy - have those hugs become more ... um ... full bodied or what??! um..hum...hummmmmm "... seeeening in the rain... ๐") has been analysed to death.
but i hope everyone has paid enough worship to that oh-so-delicious moment when prem grabs heer - in front of everyone else, paying attention to no-one else... prem! - and looks like he wants to feed her some prasad. like so:
eye-lock. hand-lock. prem-heer lock. i could've frozen this frame and just looked at it for 25 minutes! ๐ i'd have willingly trashed the rest of the show - seriously! ๐คฃ

* big thing: hint for the creatives of the show. when prem-heer do their quaint old-fashioned conversations, there's something that ultimately makes it tolerable - maybe it's the way their eyes just hold onto each other through the weird words? ๐ this just doesn't work with other couples! meher-harman had me laughing. meher's not heer! and harman certainly isn't prem! it was totally ๐คฃ i mean, i liked what was being tried but it just. did. not. work. please, please, get meher back to the bubbly real person that she was. and leave the old-style conversations to prem-heer. only! not even laluchacha-gayatri mom can pull this stuff off with any style! ๐
* little thing: er... prem's bribing his father with sweets and laluchacha happily takes it? i mean, how obvious could it be? prem. in white. smiling a really incredibly sweet smile. hands behind back. saying "i've something for you, bauji". the plate full of modaks. and then "can we switch the companies that we are gonna give veera?" hmm. i guess if i were laluchacha, and prem said "can i cut your throat?" i'd probably have said yes happily. and if it were me, he'd probably not even have to offer the sweets! ๐คฃ
i dunno what they were trying to show: that laluchacha really trusts prem. or that he has really been starved of any sweets this whole time! ๐คฃ
* big thing: hmm. so that's what the phone-conversation prem was having before heer came in was all about yesterday -- he's getting "his" company to win the contract, and then he gifts that company (+contract) to veera for ratpal. question though: prem has a company that can bid for the contract in competition with the juneja company, for which harman was bidding? er... isn't there an anti-competitive clause or something that the same business house can't bid for the same contract in an auction without fully disclosing their linked interests? i'm confused. but what bothers me is the amount of hard work prem's putting to make it so secret. although i do think that gayatri-mom knows all 'bout it...
* little thing: y'know, i thought that i couldn't dislike veera anymore than i did when i thought she vas a boring spoilt brat character. i was vrong! (and she really has a transylvannian effect on me! all my w's become v's! ๐คฃ)
she listens at doors to other people's conversations. btv, vhy does no one tell her outright that it's rude to do that?? she speaks rudely to her own mother! i mean the sarcasm was so thick that i'm shocked gayatri-mom permitted it! no vonder, gayatri-mom is calm when she speaks like that to nihaal. vait a minute - if she spoke like that to prem, vould he tolerate it as vell?? *sigh* he probably vould. after all he's mein-bhagvan-nehin-hoon-aur-mein-jhoot-bholta-hoon prem. ๐
but vhat really got to me was the pooop she started speving vhen she sav the brothers and niece-nephev having such a good time vithout her. about "blood-relations". vhat pooop! this serial so badly shakes my belief in gandhian lifestyles, it is not funny! ๐ก
* big thing: soooo! prem's room is getting renovated! did they say why? to accomodate a wife, of course! it's terrible how i started blushing in my seat, desperately hoping that no-one else would notice. (they didn't, thank goodness!) and the boys are making his bed for him. oh, how sweet! and prem sits in the background like he's the 18th century grandfather that he really is, playing with the "grandchildren". i mean, who else had to blink to remind themselves that that was not grandfather with his sons working to make his bed, while grandfather keeps the kids occupied. well, i did have to blink. but i don't care. it was all too sweet. in fact, i had to skip dessert, 'cause i was tanking on the sweetness of that moment.
and the moment when gayatri-mom comes to look at her sleeping sons. all peacful and calm, looking like their dreams are nice. and with long arms and legs all sprawled over the place. with long-long eye-lashes falling over lovely lovely cheekbones. and hair all tousled over foreheads (prem and preet at least. harman has curly hair -- like laluchacha? ๐) ๐ i have to confess feeling incredibly thankful that i was sitting with a bunch of people pretending to have dinner, 'cause all i wanted to do was gather all of them on one bed, and lie there with them. hey! just to sleep! no funny stuff! i don't have any ratpal tendencies, so stop thinking like that!
* little thing: did anyone else giggle when gayatri-mom started talking to the picture of (presumably) her dead sister and mother of prem-kulraj? i'm afraid i did. i felt apologetic later - 'cause i really felt for gayatri-mom when she asked the photo-mom what she had done wrong? after all, photo-mom-laluchacha have two perfect kids. and one out of three of gayatri-mom-laluchacha kids is as rotten as garbage, and one is a little wonky (i still think harman's a good guy. even though i've been miserably wrong in the past. i kinda like him 'cause at the end of hte day, he loves his pb. and not in the vitchface veera vay either! ๐)
* little thing: oh how i detest how the entire family flock together when there's some shameful conversation has to be had. most of all, i hate how dheer and nihaal and ashlesha and meher also get to witness such things. they have sooo many rooms! can't they pull the offending family member(s) aside and have a private conversation first?? i mean, that's how i've seen it happen in real families -- why not this one, damnit!?
* prem thing: did anyone else get swoony at the total master-of-the-universe way in which prem comes to the ganesh, picks up the file and calmly walks away? he was. in. total. control. i loved it. just like i loved the entire prem-attitude during the miniscule phone-conversation yesterday. i remembered the first prem who used to work hard all day and all night at his business. i used to totally love that prem. seriously. i know it's difficult to believe that given how much i hate him today. but once upon a time.... ๐
* big thing: it's a setup. of course, it's a setup. gayatri-mom would never talk to prem that way seriously. ever. period. i refuse to believe anything else. she's just pushing things to the brink so that she can show vitchface veera vhat's vhat and vho's vho. (damn, vitchface and her effect on my vords!) and also to show harman, i guess.
but ... but i do wish she didn't have to be so vicious about it. i hated the way she spoke to prem. how could she have held his face like that. 'twas awful.
* little thing: his parents are constantly stealing prem's lines and actions, aren't they? first, laluchacha steals the way prem went down on one knee to heer, in front of gayatri-mom when he wanted to thank her for sticking with him. now, gayatri-mom steals prem's lines about "even if god came to me and told me anything bad about you, i wouldn't believe it, maa! i wouldn't!" thieves. but at least, they have the good taste to steal from someone like prem, who is "mein-bhagwan-nehi-hoon". i mean, imagine stealing from ... harman. eeks. or worse! vitchface veera! argh!! bleagh. throv-up violently!
highlight of the episode: lights off. moonlight in darkroom. three guys sleeping. ๐ mine. mine. all mine!!
