4,5 jun 09: big things, little things

wanna know s'thing funny? by the end of the thursday episode, i was in a rather ''wanna-smack-on-the-upside-of-the-head,you-duffer!'' mood... but the time the friday episode finished, i was all... goopy-ish. *sigh* how does this show make me swing from one end of my emotions to the other like this? usually, i'm as calm as a clam, slow as a snail, peaceful as a nightingale, sleepy as a dodo-bird. why does this show make me do this:

4 jun

* little thing: vitchface veera weeping and whining on gementor's shoulder that everyone celebrates for heer, and no one thinks of her misery.

vitchface, you idiot. please try to understand. you should thank your lucky stars that you have polite brothers and sisters, who are not throwing a party outright that you are leaving. ever thought that celebrating heer's b'day is just an outlet their joy and happiness that you are leaving??!

* heer thing: she's looking gaunt! 😲😔😲 those cheekbones stand out sharply against the darkness of her hair. *sigh*

* little thing: seriously, i sooo wanna smack the ig-idiot on the topside of his head when he calls heer heeriye... 😛

* little thing: what an idiot this ig is! he was going on and on 'bout prem's permission. and all heer wanted to do is ask prem to spend some time together on her birthday. and with such sweetness she asks! it was almost good enough to warrant a ''heer voice thing'' today...

*sigh* most other people just do not get the completeness of prem-heer-are-one, do they? hmmm. i mean, other than prem, heer and us, who else gets them? *thinking* preet. once-upon-a-time-i-was-a-mom gementor. maybe meher? maybe kuldi? somehow i keep getting the idea that no-one else really gets prem-heer.

* prem thing: 😆 'kay, i still thought that hc was a tad ott when heer's call came. but man! was he totally adorable with it. hc played it with almost just the right measure of pleasure (at getting her call) and pain (at having to fob her off). the best moment? when she asks oh-soo-sweetly whether they can go out, and he has to physically wrench the phone away from his ear, hold it away with both hands, say ''yes!'' through clenched teeth. and yet bring it back to just babble untruths to heer about meetings with clients (that you didn't tell her about??? wha..??), 'bout going out on saturday, tomorrow.

* prem voice thing: seriously, there has to be one just here! the way, his voice was pleading, even though he was putting her off. and the way it trailed off at the end of that ''we'll go out tomorrow, heer...'' ai haaai, mar jawaaan... 😍

* little thing: man, were they stuffing the episode today with the ig-idiot's lack of a gf/wife! it made me remember s'thing my gang (girls) were chatting 'bout once: that guys use whatever excuse they can to get sympathy from girls... 😛

* little thing: ig-idiot is also a male chauvanistic 🐷! *sigh, why am i not surprised?* when else on this show have we heard ''tum kudiyey sab ek jaisi hai -- you come to do something and get distracted by something else''. oh ya?? you wanna hear some unpleasant generalisations to match the ones you are making for us?? 😡

* little thing: so.... who else finally wanted to hit the scriptwriters for that entire heer-looking-at-love-songs-cd bit? heer first looked a little corny looking goo-goo-eyed at it. then ig-idiot looked even more idiot-ish giving thanks for having been shown the way to heer's b'day gift. and then, after all that -- it's supposed to be a plot-ploy to get heer all worried that it contains a cd of the supposed accident instead???

weak, man, seriously weak. 😛
🤢
* little thing: 'kay, that ''samir-in-leather'' is seriously making me laugh. he looks like such a wanna-be thug! i wonder how ag/heer keeps a straight face when he comes in front of her. 🤣
* horrible photography thing: 'kay, who let that idiot cameraman who likes to do the old style zooooom-in-zoooooom-out effects on people's faces??? i thought they had banned him forever!?? argh!! and now they are doing zooooom-in-zooooom-out along with swaying-on-a-choppy-sea effects!!

great. just great. as if seeing ''samir-in-leather'' didn't make me want to throw up enough! *sigh* just when i thought the photography on this show had grown up and headed towards perfect, some idiot had to change everything! gah!

* little thing: omg! that entire ''that cd he's holding has the videotape of prem's accident in it'' was sooooo replete with bloopers that i just couldn't take it seriously! that was a stooooopid segment -- and whichever scriptwriter put that one together has to be given a big thwack on the upside of their head! 😡

* little thing: but i must say, when heer ended her whole shouting-tantrum to see the cd with a weak and flat ''good songs'', i was chuckling madly. that was soooo not a girly thing to do! i loved that coming from heer... made me suddenly wonder if she'd ever been a tomboy with the ig-idiot when they were kids.

* little thing: the best part of that useless segment -- when ig-idiot gets the ''come-home'' message from prem, we get our revenge for that stoooopid id-idiot chauvanistic comment: heer insists that they finish the shopping before leaving! 🤣🤣
served him right! (serves prem right too!) first he makes her miserable by forcing the shopping expedition on her, and then threatens to walk away without finishing the job? i could soooo see heer's alarm at the thought that she'd have to come back again to do his shopping in the way she insisted they get it done! 🤣 go heer!!! 🤣

* little thing: oooooh, prem in-the-pale-pink-shirt. *er... so what did you think? did it fit well? i've been hired on a trial basis as the person who helps prem into his pale pink shirt. i'm really nervous... it's quite different from the skills needed to help prem into his white shirts, btw. please give me feedback? did i do it well? was he looking 'kay? 🤣*

* hc thing: omg, he is truly back as prem, isn't he? when lj (lalit-juneja) bothers him with ''where is she?'', no matter that prem is all nervous and anxious, his voice is pacifying, calm and deep as he tells lj he will call and find out. nice.

and then... the play of expressions on his face when he looks up and sees heer at the door. anxious face lightening, worry fleeing, slow build up of a smile... 😍

and then the way he made me laugh by shouting ''surprise!'' right into heer's face!

* heer smile thing: heer looked sooo genuinely happy, no? that smile of hers as she went 'round getting wished and hugged was totally to die for.

* little thing: hmm. heer touches gementor's feet, while lj moves in to get a smiling hug. such a marked difference in attitude, no?

* prem-heer thing: they're still standing near the doorway; still standing apart. but when heer hears it was prem's idea and hard work, and she looks at him from, from under-her-eyelashes, it's like everything else just drops away for the two of them, no? i was surprised that everyone at the party were shameless enough to stand around and intrude on such a sweet and private moment. 'cause no matter whether it was how he took her elbow and moved closer into her, closer into the prem-heer-are-one frame before he gave her the rose. or that spontaneous hug, looking at them you forgot that there was anyone else there...

how much things have changed, no? prem-heer hugging in public, before all of society. can you remember the days when they wouldn't even touch each other other than with their eyes? and now?? 😍 😍😍 ai hai, mar jawaaan... 😍

* yet another kiphph-miphph thing: y'know? i was hanging 'round at the prem-heer appreciation thread when nans ''reported'' that they'd kiphphed. but... *sigh* they hadn't, had they? and this time, the kiphph miphphed by such a wide margin! i mean, the last time, the kiphph miphphed by a margin of around 1.2 inches. this time, it was ... oh, so much more! 😔

y'know? i'm beginning to feel quite bleak at the prospect of a kiphph. *sigh* imagine, the first thing that i'll declare as a lost cause -- prem-heer kiphph on screen... i'm desolate...

* little thing: did anyone run and try to smack all the jzoo people who started whistling and clapping when prem kiphphed heer's forehead? duffers! he missed by such a huge margin and they clap??? duffers applauding a duffer. no wonder there are sooo many duffers in that family... 😡 *sigh* i miss preet... 🤔

* little thing: 'kay, did anyone else wanna laugh at how the women who .. er .. make female-dog noises at these parties always look like mini mountains? 🤣

and gee, was gementor's sari really crass today? usually she dresses in decent stuff, no?

* little thing: but i guess we must be thankful for the mini-mountain female-dog-noise-making women. gementor got to see a prem who overheard their snide comments 'bout heer coming in with ig-idiot. and adroitly made it clear that their comments were in bad taste. good for you, prem. 👍🏼

but what i want to know is: did he do it so that ''no-one in society will dare raise a finger pointing at heer''? or did he do it to show gementor that nothing can shake prem-heer-are-one?

* prem thing: loudly, he praises ig-idiot for having helped them spring the surprise on heer. under his breath, he berates him for bring her late to the party! that little punch to the side was sooooo brave of prem -- 'specially considering he has already seen the gun-totting side of the ig-idiot. 😆

* prem-heer thing: 'kay, so who else started laughing wildly when prem and heer fed each other cake with wide open mouths??!! omg! that was soooo cute! everyone else (in every other show too!) usually eats these things as if it is really poison.

with prem and heer? they looked like they would take the cake, and nibble on the fingers feeding them the cake too! oh, i loved that! 😍😆

* little thing: man, how unpleasant can vitchface get?? if she wanted to be that ungracious in wishing and smiling at heer, why the heck did she come to the party?? 😡

* little thing: oh, well, i guess she takes after gementor in that respect. did anyone see the way gementor tried to fry nihaal down to a crisp when he appeared... 🤢

* little thing: i dunno. but i felt rather sad when heer moved to give nihaal cake only after lj gave her ''permission'' to do it. these maan kids, na? nihaal standing patiently for permission to come into the house. heer waiting to give nihaal cake... i mean, nihaal wasn't even brought up by the maans -- and yet he hsa the same character. 😛

* big thing: ooooooh, lj! rock on! who else cheered violently when gementor started demanding that he stop and listen to her first when lj said that prem will not go with her! and then telling nihaal to take vitchface away! *ya, nihaal, take her away! i'd feel sorry for you, but you've had your chance guy and blew it!*

btw, what the heck did gementor mean -- that prem would go and live in nihaal's house along with vitchface and nihaal???? ewww!

* little thing: hmmm. nice ig-idiot-heer moment in the kitchen. it was nicely done -- low-key background music, low-key footage, low-key and sensible dialogue, practical ig-idiot and quietly desparate but firm heer. very nice.

* heer thing: of course, heer wouldn't tell ig-idiot 'bout ''samir-in-leather''... but *sigh* heer wounded prem's heart. the first time after the first time she hurt him? when she claimed to love muckmeet enough to marry him, no? *sigh!*

highlight of the episode: prem and heer, at the doorway of jzoo. phand-helbow-ooooh as prem gives his b'day girl a rose... 😆 prem holding his phone away from himself with both his hands when heer asked him sweetly if they could go out together, and saying ''haaaaa!!'', strangling the phone while all the while looking like he wants to really strangle himself!! *sigh* prem.... hate you. *dreamy muh*

5 jun bt,lt follows...

5 jun

* little thing: wow, ig-idiot maybe a total idiot when it comes to his gun or calling heer by that ick name. but he's such a sweet friend! ''not just 'cause we're childhood friends. but also 'cause i'm an ig. if things get out of hand... remember you're not alone. cheer up.'' good for you, ig-idiot. looks like i may have to call you rajveer soon... 😆

* little thing: but did it strike anyone else that when prem overheard her, the background music was back to ''rajasthan prem rescues heer'' music?? same when he was wandering unfocussed in the party -- pushing aside a girl standing in his way! 😆 -- wonder why they used that music there...? hmmmmm...!

* leeeeetle photography thing: did anyone else notice that as that kitchen moment faded out, there was a reflection of prem? in the glass of one of the windows? *making a note to check out screen caps when they come up for this...*

* little thing: er... what was with that lj-heer moment? totally didn't get it...

well, other than demonstrating to us that they still have trouble with the sound-editing department! there was mike noise in those conversations. *sigh* these guys are either cutting down on the quality of sound equipment, or they are back to pushing out shows with very little margin for error... 🤔

* little thing: prem standing with a dark and furrowed brow on the edges of the party. i think i understand now why the pink shirt was necessary.

btw, have i mentioned before how much i detest prem wearing those undershirt thingies?? 😡😛

* little thing: kuldi-harman persuading heer to do the little game. it's like the rest of the juneja siblings more than compensate for the witchiness of vitchface... inn't it nice? 😍

and *sigh* harman as bharat. ''you'll recognise prem bhaiyya easily...'' *siiggh!*

but .. er... harman trying to be preet when he said ''why???!!'' when heer said she won't play any game her beloved brother+sister-in-law came up with. er... mc (manoj chandila), i said ''light comedy'' suits you. you're gonna have to work on slapstick a little harder... 😆

* little thing: did anyone else beam when heer tried to find prem based on the phhandooooooh-effect? i mean, her eyes were bound, so pheyeooh couldn't happen. so naturally, phhandooh had to be used to find prem, no? *beaming with happiness at that unexpected fallout from that game...*

* little thing: anyone else noticed lj (deepak qazi - dq) ducking to the left and to the right to get away from heer's hands?? 😆 looks like the editing department needs to pay attention -- wasn't that an odd thing for the head of the house to do?? *or is this kind of joshing around stuff that just happens at punjabi parties?*

* prem thing: oh, the protest on his face when kuldi takes his ring away!!! sooooo sweet! hc, that was really nicely done... 👍🏼

* photography thing: seriously, the camera people love shooting hc-ag as prem-heer. the sight of heer's face moving slowly in front of prem, with prem's shoulder's in the foreground, was ... nice. 😃

* prem thing: and still, prem's face is dark and troubled... inn't it a good thing he has his heer to love him sooo very much?? 😍 lucky lucky prem... 😍

but y'know? i so wish s'times that prem wouldn't look at heer with a frown... ever. *sigh*

* phhandooh thing: y'know? today was an interesting one -- demonstrated that without pheyeooh, phhand-ooooooh doesn't quite happen...?

at least that's what i thought before hhand darted to grab p-arm... with or without pheyeoooh, [i]that became quite a phhandooooh, no? 😆😆😆

no wonder then, that prem had to believe his heart on the love in heer's eyes. the phhandooh cements prem-heer-are-one. always has, always does, always will! phhandoooh's rule... 😍

* dance thing: y'know? i'm not a dance kinda person. don't really have any clue on what a good dance is; or what a bad one is. i just like how people manage to move ... er ... as one to music that shows just how much they move together within their mind, heart and soul.

oddly enough, this prem-heer dance -- one of the longest that we've had, no? -- was the one that i was least touched by prem-heer-are-oneness... 😕

for one, i've never liked the concept of co-ordinated dance. y'know where everyone does the same thing? kinda reminds me of soldiers in an army marching, all disciplined and co-ordinated. in a party, it freaks me out to see couples all dancing to the same steps. er... isn't it supposed to be enjoying moving together, doing your own thing? in this dance, there was more a sense of regimented dance-to-steps going on than prem-heer feeling-each-other-in-every-way-while-swaying-to-music.

for another, things 'bout heer's appearance bothered me badly. no, no, silly, not ag's acting. she is too good as heer for the expressions, or her actions to jar my mind. but two things did: first, she is seriously gone gaunt! and it looks even more stark against hc's ... er ... built-up person! i hope she isn't falling ill with all the work pressure. second, the stoooopid director is making her do these scenes with that patented-moronic-soap-serial-open-mouth look! omg! someone please kidnap and banish whoever it is that is giving ag directions to do that! please, please, please! 'cause put it together with heer's new gaunt look, the open mouth also makes it look like she's gasping for air, and that she's ill.

so, i must confess: watching prem-heer dancing (lights on) felt .. uh .. odd-ish to me.

but i did groop** during the p-chin nuzzling h-neck moment...

and of course, it was kinda different when they shifted from a dance in front of everyone to when prem and heer have shifted into their own world. i seriously grooped** for a minute then! not like i had a choice - there was prem-heer against each other, softly swaying, phhandooohs that come together, then break for a moment, and then come together again as if they can't be without the other, phhandoooh-arms around each other as firmly as possible, eyes speaking volumes, lips lifted into oh-so-very-slight smiles. and then - the killer touch - all covered in blue-white light and shadows! which is an ingredient that immediately raises the intensity and heat between this pair by at least tens of degrees! 🤣er.. no? 🤣

if there was anything new in that blue-white prem-heer's-own-personal-world moment, then it was that in the first minute it looked like they slowed down -- from the earlier pace of regimented dancing to something more personal, more soft, more lingering, more wanting... when it felt like suddenly you were in danger of gasping for air in the next minute?

and yet *sigh* even that was not sustained. it sooo totally broke with that heer hugging prem from behind dance-move thing. *sigh* y'know? i never quite get that dance move... 'cause usually girls are shorter than guys and then just end up with their face in the guy's ... back or s'thing?? and what's the fun in that??!!! *sigh* is it just me? 😕
**groop == grin in a goopy manner 🤣

* prem voice thing: did anyone else get seriously affected by that ''dekhney do''? er ... no? how 'bout when he huskily asked her if he had actually managed to make it one of the most memorable days ever. not even then?

*sigh* then either it was bad editing, or my head is now totally, absolutely and seriously infected with epve. 😔

* editing thing: btw, i thought that the dance was a bit of an editing disaster as well as missing out on the opportunity to be the first near-phingoli on a dance floor! (🤣 i can't believe i just wrote that!!! 🤣)

both the sound as well as the visual editing was flawed... the one place that made me really mad(e) was when prem lifted heer into his arms and stood swaying for a moment. that should've been waaaaay slower than we got to see it. could've been totally easily done in the edit phase.

* photography thing: in the dance, there was one rather cool, interesting photography thing. the floor-level shot of prem with heer in his arms, where the shot was taken directly into the light! one of the golden rules of photography that shouldn't be violated. but here...? i dunno 'bout you, but i liked that effect a lot... seeing them move mostly in silhouette-negative, but with some flashes of real-positive. i wish they had prolonged that moment for 10 secs more... 😍

* prem-heer thing: being perfectly prem and heer, they did that startled-move-away-from-cuddling each other on the dance floor very nicely...😍

* little thing: 'kay, totally found that ring scene abrupt. totally. the scripting was weird -- for some reason, prem going down on his knee to give ''his dearest wife'' (??? eh... wha...??!!!) his ''prem ka nishaani'' was weird. the look on his face -- kinda triumphant 'bout her love for him -- was kinda weird. the look on her face -- curiously non-reactive -- was even more weird.

the only things i liked 'bout that segment was (a) heer silently mouthing thank you at prem. *although, felt weird that prem didn't mouth anything back - didn't even heye-speak anything back!* and
(b) prem flinging the ring box behind his shoulder!! 🤣🤣
man, that was funny! for a moment, i wondered if he was aiming for gementor standing behind him -- i'd have loved to see that box hit her right smack in her nose, and wipe that grumpy-sulky-disgusted look right off that sullen face!

* little thing: 'kay, seriously, does anyone else think that the actress playing gementor has put on serious weight in the last one month? i'm not kidding -- in that last frame of the show, didn't she kinda remind anyone of jabba-the-hutt**?

** evil character in star wars, episode 5 -- inter-galactic money-lender who wants to put han solo on ice 'cause han can't pay his money back.

i dunno -- but that new weight is giving her sullen-ness and anger that much more depth. scary it is... that much weight is not good for the health, y'know? 😔😔

* little thing: vitchface getting creeped out in her shiny new mansion, waiting for nihaal to come beat her up. *thinking* y'know? if that's nihaal's plan -- a psychological one to use vitchface's own fears to make her into a quivering mass of repentence -- i may actually admire nihaal maan very, very, very much indeed! *no, silly, of course, i'd never hate him. are you mad?? 🤣*

* little thing: that segment with lj-gementor was an interesting one, even though it was difficult to watch.

the expression of deep dismay in lj's eyes as he listens to gementor going on and on 'bout how no-one in the house cares about ''my bachchi'' and everyone is lifting only heer and her happiness on a pedestal was amazing. i was quite chilled when i heard her say this. if gayatri-mom is pretending, then why is she saying this to lj??? 😔😕 why is she putting this much psychological pressure on everyone in the house on behalf of vitchface? why? 😔😕

*sigh* all in all, a nice pair of episodes. i think they've got their ratios correct now. while they are taking their own sweet time, trying to drag out the story of why we are getting so much gementor-evil-plan against heer, they have figured out the correct amount of prem-heer-are-one-ness to show to keep me from being blythe and happy enough to keep eating my gelato. 😆 nice. 😆 at this level of content, i can w&w ... for one more week to find out gementor's faking this... 🤣

highlight of the episode: hmmm. the little smile on heer's face as she grabs prem's arm to stop him from walking away heart-broken. the little camera movement 'round the two of them as they come face to face then. prem's desperate hug grabbing heer as close as he can to his heart while standing in public. hmmm... that husky ''dekhney do...''... that shot from the floor into the blue-white-light of prem holding his heer, in his arms, close to his heart... and swaying gently on the floor holding all of her... *sigh, really, if they had only just slowed it down a bit... sigh. then again, is probably just me... *

i know this is terribly late. 😔 but as always, i had to put it up. 😔😔 i didn't see any screen caps, though i do know that khushi-nans said they'd have 'em up this weekend. and oh! there are some prem-heer ones at the premeer apprecation thread! 😃

here:
admire and phrool, while i (try to focus and) put some in... 😆

man i'll read all of it once i becum less jumpy

hmmm.......

Hiya E,🤗

Nice bt,lt😊. Firstly gementor, now jabba the hut. Awesome names E👏. Of late I somehow detest watching when gementor comes onto the screen. I know I was with you to say that maybe she is faking. But I am not so sure of it anymore.

HC and AG thing - AG has lost oodles of weight, hasn't she? And both of them look so tired. They need a break and soon.

Prem & Heer thing - The dance was good. But somehow I felt it was just thrown in there in the script. I would have loved a private dance in their room to soft music. ☺️ But HC and AG looked great together.
E, how come you didnt mention anything abt Prem's flying hair? 😆
The shot just before the light comes on, the one where they hug, with their eyes closed, Prem's hair flying and Heer's contented look on her face, each wanting nothing more than to be in each other's arms....... whoo.... that was the moment of the day for me.☺️

Editing seriously needs lots of improvement. And those scenes randomly thrown in - they atleast need to do it properly

Kuldi and Harman thing - Kuldi was always a sweetheart and Harman is doing a good job after Maya left him. Good signs. 👏

IG thing - He is a nice guy. You shud stop calling him ig-idiot. 😉 I kinda like the guy. Except for when he calls heer heeriye...

Nihaal thing - I hope he has a plan in mind. I am kinda thinking by ignoring Veera and by giving her all the material things she wants in life, he is trying to make her understand that material things are not everything in life when u dont have someone to love?? But I hate it when all these Maans try being Mahaan.

Guess we gotta w&w to see where this story goes now.

Bye E. Take care.

ephtee i have few quick questions to ask:

I"ll be right back and read it...

Luv atop

i was soooo looking forward to this...
