besides, this was a week for ... lots of wtf-ing, no? *snigger, snigger, muffle, muffle... *
* first big wt to f: actually, this was not a w=weekend, but a w=week. thought 'bout this in response to something hope said in a bt,lt last week. (http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1130614&TPN=2)
y'know? i always thought this whole returning from the dead would be a brilliant opportunity to show how people react to near-death situations. once you've been that close to being ... shut down forever. what if you get a second chance? me -- i always figured you'd want to do everything you hadn't done before. take chances. live more of life than you had in the past.
i like what i see in heer 'cause she looks like she's doing that with prem. earlier on, she was shy, controlled, allowing him to lead. now she is doing the leading, the teasing, the touching, the wanting. within the bounds of their gentleman's agreement, of course. she wouldn' t weasel on that... but she lost prem once. i can so imagine her wanting to live all of the time that they have lost. and - if such a thing happened again, a random senseless act of stooopidity that no-one can ever control - she'd have no regrets about having been shy and timid with prem, who she loves madly, insanely, to death!
and i think that's what we are seeing in prem too. he's seen death - knows how much he would've lost without the second chance. i mean, c'mon! he even had a list of things that he wanted for his family all ready! and now he's actually been given a chance to do it! i kept thinking there was an edge to this prem -- a sense of disquiet, or unrest -- even after his ''apparent return to prem from hiphop''. and maybe this sense is it?
so for me? this week, i wasn't seeing hc/ag in prem/heer. that's still prem/heer for me. i didn't feel like either has lost the touch; they are the people who know exactly what prem and heer are. and i like what i'm seeing. i do.
y'know? once i'd wished (in an old bt,lt) that this show would become 'bout premheer-becoming-one-forever and then it could becomes as saas-bahu. with heer solving all the saas-bahu-ey problems. with prem always taking her side. after he comes from office every night. 'cause the rest of the time, he's being the fierce business tycooon who's grinding ravan into the ground.
now if only they'd fill up two more wishes: 1. prem goes back to being the gimlet-eyed business man soon at his hotel, and 2. they do tell us what prem was upto all this time that he was away.
* second wt to f: are they reversing time back to pre-10/02/08? everyone's kinda falling into their roles of that time, no? lalit-juneja is boss of all he surveys. gayatri slowly getting back to smiling and alive again. heer is dewey-eyed in love with prem. veera is a vitchface. ash and meher are being friends? harman is being... mel's harman,a dumbo with a .. um ... constipated look. π€£ kul-di and her husband are hanging 'round. nihaal is looking stressed.
question is: what are they preparing us for?
* trying-to-figure-it-out wt to f: the 'what-if'' in the story line. exactly, what was the point of the whole prem-vanishing? to demo what if the binding-agent (ie, prem) in the family vanished? what would happen to the family?
there were some parts of the family that just went from bed to verse. *er... that's supposed to be the way a gujju'd say "bad to worse", ... and is supposed to be funny? π* and there were some parts that just started shining and shining and shining... ie, (god) preet. *thinking* hmmm, other than heer and preet, actually everything else went to the dogs, no?
* funniest wt to f: harman expects maya to get him shoes that he got from pb? nihaal expects vitchface to like jasmine?? in situations like this, one needs a stronger emo than π€£ what do these guys have? buttons for eyes and potatoes for brains??? bwahahahahahah!!
* desperate wt to f: oh, please, please, please let there have been a good reason for harman to have - even temporarily - abandoned his pb's bharat role, please, please! he is still his pb's brother. he didn't want to lie to pb. he looked like his mind was totally blown that pb was back -- and he didn't even get to hug him. no matter, how ... uh ... constipated harman looks, i was actually kinda sad at that...
* unpleasant wt to f: earlier ratpal wanted revenge on prem 'cause of sanjana. now will he have a personal vendetta 'gainst heer 'cause she dumped him and hurt his ego? er... did ratty fall for heer? *Bleagh! the very thought is puke-inducing...*
* most irritating wt to f: prem telling lalit-juneja ''don't worry. everything'll be back to what it used to be. i promise.'' wth is he talking 'bout??? for a moment, prem managed what i'd thought was impossible -- he made me see red. the guy who always makes me think of blue-white and deep, dark eyes! and then! it struck me! *there's no keeping my head in the red for very long... π*
er.. so i figured one reason that prem-heer have taken this insane vow of no h&w activities - prem is actually an angel! he's not mortal! he's gone from mein-bhagwan-nehi-hoon to kyunki-mein-bhagwan-ka-farishta-hoon! no, seriously! that explains everything! their not sleeping together. the way he treats her like she's the queen of temptation. and now these ridiculous promises! *thinking* has prem always said such... poop?? *thinking again!* he has, hasn't he? oh, poop.. π€£
* yet another unpleasant wt to f: gee, anyone else get the feeling that suddenly lalit-juneja is yards smarter than prem? the way he looked at prem when prem dished out his promise that ''everything will go back to the way it was''. *stoooopid prem...* or the way he said ''you don't make your own flesh&blood understand. they just do.''
* last wt to f: i know people can get majorly confused 'bout my feelings for prem. how can i not love this guy? seriously, i don't. but i really wouldn't mind if prem came and served me breakfast every morning. he serves meals with such panache! π
'kay, 'nuff is 'nuff. i have some wishes. but that deserves it's rightful spot in the other wtf... π so, now we get to the main event of the wtf... *apologising profusely to everyone for not having put in enough time to build the temple for the god of smiles... *
everyone's ready for pooja? let's bow our heads, please? *those who wish to, can, as always throw themselves on the floor in front of (god) preet... i swept the floor, washed it twice, and the jasmine along the sides were flown in 'specially from bombay -- special courier package by my bombay pals...*
who was responsible for the most suggestive setup for prem-heer -- and that brilliant come-hither song for them to hear? *say with me* all hail, (god) preet! who was responsible for the cutest prem-in-the-kitchen scene? *say with me* all hail, (god) preet! who was responsible for the cutest candle-lit dinner ever? *say with me* all hail, (god) preet! who is working and working to make sure that his family gets all their heart's desire until his (lazeee) pb can get his act together to do it instead? all hail?..... (god) preet! who is making the moves on his wife's heart ... without even realising that he's doing it? all hail! (god) preet! who needs our prayers the next week to never doubt his heer bhabhi... naaaah! even in a face-off between vitchface and his hb, preet's never gonna waver, is he? he isn't... i have faith in (god) preet.
all hail, the god of smiles. all hail, the god who is beginning to make our insides melt....


(after that, no wonder wife of (god) preet looks like ... )

*trying to simultaneously do the right pooja-ey things and bury my face in my hands at the same time..*
