this is soooooo the weekend to change the meaning of wtf, no? 😆 but since i don't know any other meaning, i'm afraid that i'm gonna have to tell everyone that it stands for ''weekend thoughts feature''. you're welcome to any .. uh .. other meanings this weekend though... 🤣
note: this wtf, the guy with prem's face will be refered to as ''the guy''. i'm tempted to adopt this nomenclature till all uncertainty 'bout who ''the guy'' is, is resolved to our satisfaction. 😆
onto the wt to f this weekend... *snigger, snuphphle, mphphphphph... heeeheehee*
1. don't you think that ''the guy'' is a really nice guy? i mean, especially after he decides that he wants to flee the junejas?
why the heck didn't he just announce to all of them that he did the whole thing for money from ratpal, take the money away and walk out of the juneja's house? how come when lj (lalit juneja to the uninformed) handed over all of ''his investments'' to him, he gave most of them back -- except for one?? ideally, ''the guy'' tutored by ratty should've kept all of them! all the better to make sure the juneja's get destroyed! but he gave 'em back! and ratpal tutored him on how to make harman feel as small as a little pebble in prem's old shoes? really? ratty's that good? not! there's something else 'bout this guy, which we are not told yet.
and of course, most unbelieveable of all: he does prem for heer a little too well, to have been tutored to do. that too by ratty! who thinks that prem's like a hindi-film hero. i don't know which hindi-movie's ratty's seen. but i haven't a single hindi-movie hero like prem. no hindi-movie hero does phhandoohs (i mean -- handoohs, of course.🤣 ) please correct me if i'm wrong. but handoohs are totally a ph-invention. so, i cannot believe that he could possibly be tutored to do the phhandooh-#3 by gayatri-mom's bed. no way.
*thinking -- we should get them to take a patent on the phhandooh. seriously! anyone know a good patent lawyer? 😆*
just like there's no way he could've been tutored enough to swing-heer-out-of-harm's-way. and then tell her - in prem's voice - that she should take care of herself first.
1.a -- 'kay, i just have to make this point! *fellow members of the ihp# club please take note! i knew there was a reason to love his voice while hating him!* a person may have someone's face (not! but let's go with this stoooopidity for a moment - even if it had to be put together artificially. like in surgery or s'thing.) a person may have someone's face -- but to have his voice too??!
just because the only place that we've seen such things happening are in the movies, where they're using the same actor for the job🤣, i can't imagine two people with the same faces -- even clones! -- having the same voice! they may have the same physical voice-box structures -- but to have the same tone, same depth, same intonations, same everything? not possible. voices are cultivated - not born with.
and his voice when he tells heer to take care of herself first... that was prem. an no-one can convince me otherwise. which leads me to my conjecture(s! 😆) 'bout what's going on.
2. ehm... presenting estee-the-hopelessly-hopeful's choices for who ''the guy'' is! 🤣
* choice 1: one of the things i caught when pcp force-fed me episodes 04/01/08--04/09/08 of this show was that heer had this thing for farishtay (pharishtay? 🤣) right from the beginning. when heer's praying for her parents to be safe, but they die? she then asks for a pharishta to save meher and her. and guess who comes along then, to ambala train station? *sigh* yes, prem. bhondu** prem. all serious. and stiff. with dreams of the girl who was made as a jodi for him buried deep deep in his dark still eyes.
and i remembered that she's asked for them often. when she is stuck in a room upstairs as prem is getting married to ash downstairs, she asks for a farishta. and guess what? her farishta -- the same one as before ☺️ -- decides that he may sacrifice his life. but that heer's not gonna get married to muckmeet.
and last wtf (or some btlt) i wondered if prem was seriously not ''mein bhagwan nehi hoon''. but what if he was ''mein bhagwan ka faristha hoon'' instead?
'cause prem-heer-are-one. as heer said, she can't be anyone else's. so here's the conjecture (finally! 🤣):
prem's in pharishta mode. he gets into ''the guy'''s head, manipulating ''the guy'' to rescue his family - and heer - whenever it is required! no seriously! all we need to confirm this is check whether ''the guy'' suffers blackouts often! 🤣 that he can't remember (really) what has happened a couple of minutes ago... then yeah, prem is soooo being a pharishta just now... *thinking*
* choice 2: prem was actually funding research work on the same experiments that were being done in the dr-jekyll-mr.-hyde story! and actually, he had survived the delhi blast. but after that blast, he'd gone back to the lab to tell the scientists to really work hard on it 'cause he thought the success of the experiment could be used as a solution to stop terrorism. and he was soo enhusiastic that he offered himself as the guniea-pig and ... well, ''the guy'' is the result! 🤣
* choice 3: ''the guy'''s actually prem *sigh* but everytime he's confronted by the bright shine of heer's love, he has to tell himself his plan loudly in his head to refocus on what he has to do?? 🤣
hey! *indignantly picking myself up off the floor where i was 🤣-ing* that's what the wtf for, no? toout-wild-idea-fy whatever the creatives can come up with??! 😃 and i don't think this is sooo wild. i mean, did you see how dazzled prem looked during the 9/11 anda scene... he totally looked like he needed to keep focussing on something to stop getting distracted by the idea of kissing heer... 🤣
3. one of the things that i had wondered in the last bt,lt was what ratty's trying to achieve with ''the guy'' to make zinda-laashes out of the juneja's. i mean, what kinda desire is that? he wants the juneja's to all become like ... uh ... sister sanjana? uh... but if they're all zinda-laashes, who'll buy and maintain their life support systems? will he? gosh. isn't that an expensive revenge? won't he go bankrupt himself? 🤣 and then, will he want to take revenge on them again, 'cause they made him go bankrupt? gosh, this ratpal-for-revenge thing can keep the show going for quite a while...! 🤣
4. y'know how in this show evil eventually always fails? so.... does anyone else get the feeling that everyone knows ''the guy'' is not prem -- except for gayatri-mom?
does anyone else get the feeling that this is one elaborate plan the juneja's have put together (along with a fake priest at the wedding?) to get ratty to pay ''the guy'' to be prem for a while so that gayatri-mom gets better? i mean, c'mon -- the entire drama actually revolves around getting her out of her bad state, no? she was the biggest part of prem's life who was still stuck in a seriously bad spot, and that heer had to solve for prem's happiness.
besides, wouldn't that be tooooooo brilliant??! seriously, i would soooo love it!
'cause that would mean that ratty's ''third person'' is... the entire rest of the junejas! *all we need is that ratty doesn't have another mole among them. if not, then we're cool.* and this would be totally brilliant! it would mean that
(a) heer has shared her suspicions 'bout ''the guy'' with her family. *i'd figure she'd be the first to figure out if ''the guy'''s not prem, no?*
(b) they've all reconciled quickly to the sadness of not having prem, but they will carry on the show 'cause gayatri-mom's getting better! good, no?
5. 'kay seriously? i was really feeling miserable-ish at the end of friday's show. not 'cause i thought that i'd seen the the death of prem-heer-are-one. that still lives. no matter what ''the guy'' ends up doing, i still think that prem-heer-are-one lives... 'cause heer lives. she is the embodiment of that story for me. until she gets shattered enough to curse prem - in a really bad way, i mean - that story holds.
no, the reason i felt sad was 'cause i got the feeling the creatives are doing all this just to kinda jerk the audience around, no? and that was kinda sad - to think that we're being put throught this unnatural long and un-real w&w period -- and i'm not sure i understand for what?
my tv-world-knowledgeable pal says that there could be a nasty war on between the channel and the production house. but he says that they will be fighting a more desperate battle for sheer survival just now to allow an ego battle to take priority. he tells me there's a marked bias against balaji shows in the ads on *+ -- but that maybe they're just emphasising shows with higher trps 'cause that's what is bringing advertising money in. he says that there are new shows coming up, which will be slotted in existing time slots -- which means show timings could change. and when show timings change, the nature of the story of (long-running) shows could change.
me? i just obsess with story telling. and jerking the story around to prolong audience anxiety seems ... unnatural.
then again, what do i know? i'm just learning to tell stories. and they created whatever got me hooked to the show. and they've somehow managed to keep me happy with the way the good guys win despite how much the bad guys get the odds stacked in their favour. and the fact that it's the prem-heer-are-one-ness that always seemed to get them irritated. and that very same thing managed to foil their plans.
i guess i'll w&w until they land me in a really dark spot. till then, i'll live in hope. and after then, i'll still believe that they have made the most wonderful love-pair that i've seen in a long time. one that challenged my old ideas about what perfect love is. or what a perfect love story is. prem-heer-are-one rock. and always will rock, my world. good luck (show-team) guys!
and oh ya, creatives? if you're stuck in a dark place on trying to figure out what this show's about? so that you can take this story forward logically? here's a clue: it's a vm by someone who used to sunshine on this forum, and seems to know all about what makes this show really work. take a look, please?
hmm! now to worship! 'kay -- did (god) preet rock this week, or did he rock this week?? 😆
he was so wonderful this week he inspired me to wash the temple over twice for the pooja. and spend money i can't afford for an extra consignment of jasmine flowers and white lillies for the doorways and the pillars. *sigh, sooo gonna miss my post-class hot chocolates next week... but is worth it for (god) preet worship!* and be prepared to sing loud praises during the pooja, oh disciples of (god) preet. without fear. 'cause we have *drumroll...!!* a starbucks stall outside with all the coffee you can drink for 2 bux! and opposite them, the famous nagarjunna ginger-tea-brewn-indian-style-walla stall! who also serves lemonade, indian style! with salt-and-sugar! *yum! and don't worry, they're doing this for charity -- no money had to be taken out of the temple-of-the-god-of-smiles to get them to set up the stalls! aren't they cool???! woot, woot!*
shall we start?
all hail, (god) preet.
who every week shows us how wonderful a human being can be.
in how many ways should we,
your humble fans, worship thee?
for you showed us what it means:
to be a brother, whose blood runs hot if his sister's heart is hurt.
to be a brother, whose hot blood calms when his pb-ram asks him to think rather than fight.
to be a brother, who forgives honest mistakes that his brother-in-law makes.
to be a son, who's pride and ego is crushed when his failures are brought to light.
to be a son, who faces his failure with his head held high,
to be a son, who will take the place his father gives him with eyes shining and bright.
to be a son, who has learnt to use laughter not to hurt or criticise,
to be a son, who uses laughter with gentleness, wit, to save his father's hide.
to be a brother-in-law, who sees to desire in the heart and does what it takes to make things right,
to be a pal in mischief, building a foundation for love in laughter, high-fives, sharing ever-present smiles
to hold his family together, through good times and bad, always being the light,
to hold our spirits up, through all the darkness the creatives think is their right.
for all this, and more that we have received in the past,
for which we had never given thanks,
we all bow to you, oh (god) preet.
all hail, all hail, all hail, our wonderful god of smiles!
*rising off my knees as the last sounds of ''our wonderful god of smiles'' stop resounding off the walls and pillars in the temple, feeling surrounded by hope and love and joy and smiles upon smiles... and feeling this job is the best job in the whole world! 😃*
i'm sorry that i do not have prasad to offer this weekend *my dial-up modem connection's has pathetic bandwidth and i can't dig out prasad. i'd have cried with remorse, but tears are banned in the temple of the god of smiles.* i'm afraid that we will have to depend upon the memory of our (god)s smiles?
if anyone's brought prasad, please give them over to the poor standing outside. or you can give them to the people at the counter of the starbucks or the nagarjunna chai-walla stalls. they'll be distributing all their remaining food to the poor at the end of the day. they will give your prasad to the poor too. thank you all for coming. see you next wtf? 😆
** bhondhu: i have no idea whether there is such a word. but it sounds like something that could've been used in teacher triv's pattshala. *sadly, i left my pattshala notebook at pcp's place.. so i can't confirm this. 😆😆*
note: this wtf, the guy with prem's face will be refered to as ''the guy''. i'm tempted to adopt this nomenclature till all uncertainty 'bout who ''the guy'' is, is resolved to our satisfaction. 😆
