Hi E…thanks! This was much needed.
I first realized that I had a bad case of epe/ephe since I saw the smile Prem gave Heer after the "Rasta Roko" scene… I have not recovered ever since.🤔
1. prem and heer are one. often, i-hate-prem is the same as i-hate-prem-heer. often, but not always. sometimes, it's just i-hate-prem. (note to self: don't think i've ever i-hate-heer'ed. hmmm. must meditate on why.)
I solemnly swear to abide by this rule. I will also refrain from using the L word (I mean the opposite of hate…see how well I am doing) in context with the afore mentioned person(s), no matter how gut-wrenchingly sweet and heart-stoppingly adorable he/they can be. 😳
2. no unjustifiable hatred is allowed. if there is an episode or event in an episode that warrants a i-hate-prem!, the "hatred" can be voiced here. but! must be preceded by or followed by a reason. and it must be a rational one that gets the supporting vote of at least 20 other members in the club, and no more than 15 other opposing votes.
I promise to dedicate as many free hours as possible to study the offending episode in question and only then will I present my case with justifiable reasons to hate-prem/ hate-premeer. I shall not make un-warranted accusations that may lead to severe embarrassment to the club, including using the L word.
3. a unique feature of the club: drooling over your object of hatred is perfectly understandable and, in fact, encouraged in this club. unlike in (say) the alcoholics anonymous, where drink is shunned, we believe that it's only through full exposure and free discussion of all symptoms and possible causes that we will help society. we aim to be great scientists in our quest! *holiness shining out again...at this rate, if there is a heaven, there's no question where we all are headed!*
I promise to put myself on the line for my fellow forum members. Their well being is important to me. Hence, I hereby dedicate any free-time that is not used for research of justifiable hatred, to fully expose myself to the cause that will help us understand the effects. If I am able to save one person from this effect, I will consider my time well spent *wink*
4. this is a class-less club. no presidents, no vice-presidents. everyone has an equal voice. (it was considered to keep a treasurer -- someone who has the time and ability to "validate" a point raised by a i-hate-prem member. but there could be several treasurers, all with the same importance. so we could have different roles, but are still class-less.)
I agree. However, if there are volunteers who have specific brain-fusing reactions to certain aspects of prem/ premeer, like the esteemed-first-member who has shown consistent symptoms to the wet-white-shirt effect, are welcome to provide in-depth episode analysis on their subject of interest…err I mean…reason for blackout.
5. membership into the club will be on a first-come-first-calling-carded basis. you post, you introduce yourself, your questionnaire answers + score. and then you offer your first "i-hate-prem" moment or any other rationalisation for why you think you fit in this club.
this is a classless club. however, there will be preserved an order of membership into the club. after all, some credit should be granted to those who came up with the idea first -- a sort of first among equals. no extra powers. just glory!

"Where we give attention and they make us drool"
1 - have you ever decided to stop seeing the show for a week or so, but only lasted for a couple of days?
No…I am not sure this would apply to me as I have not reached the need-to-quit-even-for-a-day stage.
2 - do you wish people would mind their own business about your seeing the show-- stop telling you what to do?
Yes…(emphatic)
3 - have you ever switched from another show in the hope that this would keep you from wanting to get back to drooling?
Yes... (sigh)
4 - has prem caused trouble at home with the family -- of any sort?
No…actually helped…another story, another time!
5 - do you find yourself watching scenes with prem over and over again, to fill the time till the next time you can get "some prem/prem-heer"?
Yes…(sheepish)
6 - do you tell yourself you can stop watching prem any time you want to, even though you keep watching the show even when you don't mean to?
Yes…(sad)
7 - have you missed hours of work or school because of epe/ephe?
No…and this is true. I may spend some time at work thinking…not hours, thank you.
8 - do you have "brain nuclear whiteouts"?
Yes…(frantic nodding of the head)
9 - have you ever felt that your life would be better if you did not have epe?
Yes…(dull)
