'kay, warning -- this episode made me angry. seriously. am i being weird?
* little thing: ewwwwww! that preet intro of video-conferencing was soooooo.... poor country!! which we are not any more darnit!! 😡 people in india have been on skype since ... oh, forever! 😡 and preet speaks in a wonderstruck way 'bout it??! 😡 that was such a horrid blooper, it was ewwwwwwwww!!! and meher not knowing what it is either!!! waaaah! it was worse than all the accents those kids could come up with. much, much worse than canatta... seriously. and the way that poor guy on the other side said ''no, no, it's okay. we'll continue later...'' aaaarrrgggh! i felt soooo embarassed for preet! and he didn't care!! argh!
* little thing: btw, what was that thing preet said about changing from chivvda to gulab jamun?? 'cause in his other show he's playing maharastrian?? 😆 'cause if not, i didn't get it...
* big thing: the meet altercation. i dunno 'bout you -- but everything was right about that argument, and nothing was right either. every - and i mean, every - line had me going ''what??!!'' in anger.
first off, preet forbids meher to go help with kuldi's problem -- how? by saying that they are now living in canada and everything is different?? what?
and meher rebuts with ''we are of a place where the earth is our mother'', ending with ''what happened to you after coming here??''. second - what??!
and then! preet's excuse ''my ideal, pb, his image shattered in my eyes.'' third what?! that's his excuse?? that is his excuse for bad behaviour in meher's eyes?! what the heck is preet saying??!!!! 😲
😡
and while meher was very sweet to be sympathetic to prem's misery, her dialogue was totally out-of-this-world-absurd. ''while his image is shattered, he himself is shattered.'' i got her point -- that it's not an image in preet's eyes alone that was broken, but prem himself is a shattered person. it was a pretty deep way of saying that prem made a mistake. so deep that it drowns itself in obscurity! er... no? 😕 *am i the only one who got angry today?*
but still, all of the problems i had with the dialogue till then was mostly the way things were said. it was when preet started contradicting himself all over the place that my head really started to hurt. why? lemme count the ways...
* sweet thing: loved meher telling preet that he was the one making the mistake of not being able to forgive prem 'cause he expected him to be a god. and loved that last line of meher's -- that she hasn't yet learnt to turn away from her own loved ones. and 'cause it was such a great line, i loved how preet's face became shifty-eyed with shame after that. man, i hope he does s'thing about the shame soon!! i can't take non-sensible preet!!! 😲
* big thing: this is the day and age of teleconferencing and videoconferencing - and these people have been sitting happy and pretty in canatta and have no clue about heer??!! the first that the jzoo has heard of heer is that phone call from the manager of their delhi hotel?? and everyone is okay with this state of affairs???? meher is miserable at how miserable prem is -- and she is okay with not having a bloomin' clue 'bout her sister heer??!!
*drawing in deep breaths* no, can't be, no? they know 'bout heer, no? they have to! the only thing that lj got taken aback with was that heer was renting a hall for ''a marriage'' -- no? no??!
*fiercely hoping that they know but don't just admit they do, to each other... 'cause that horrid gaali-maa will get upset? fiercely upset that the rest of jzoo actually might care about how that horrid gaaali-maa feels!!! 😡*
* big thing: can you tell i can't stand the fact that this is supposed to have been the state of the junejas, prem and heer for the last six years?? prem has had no clue about heer for six long years??
impossible.... not possible. *ya, just in case, you didn't get it.. 🤣* namumkin.
* little thing: i kinda totally zoned out during that entire ketan-kid thing... but one thing did strike me -- is it possible to get white colours in a tattoo? really?
and i did like how both meher and kuldi went ''bauji??!!'' in unison... 😆
and wasn't it funny? (last thing, i promise! 😆) the little girl totally sucks at speaking english, but her hindi's pretty good, i thought... 😆
* little thing: er... lj needs a new prescription for his glasses? 😆
* heer thing: omg. engaging, excited, living life with gusto heer! 😍 why, oh why do i get the sense that the little prem-heer-child is a bundle of energy and joy? 'cause - of course - how else can it be that heer appears to be living life with the gusto that should be in both the little prem-heer-child's mother and father?? she is being that for her child! no?
hmmm... must admit - i didn't really care/feel for her (the kid). but now? i am getting curious about this little prem-heer-child. 😆
* prem thing: omg. he was soooooooo coool and cutting with that snarky smarmy employeee of his!!! omg! i totally loved how he was almost bored when he cut him to size with his ''you want a day off work? pick one. don't bother about my work.'' 🤣 man, that was cool!! prem, you totally rocked there!! 👍🏼
(btw, it was also cool that he was re-using his shirt from yesterday -- helps with the global water shortage problem, no? another 👍🏼 for prem! 😆)
* prem thing: dark, brooding, eyebrows in a straight forbidding line, ... and totally in contrast to the colourful gaggle of women-and-children who were going off to have fun.
* meher thing: how sweet of her to have tried... i guess it was her recent argument with preet that must've reminded her how sunk prem jiju is in his dark isolation, but still. [Hug] and the way she watched him walk away... her heer's di's caring-for-prem representative in that ridiculous jzoo...
* little thing: i soooooooo wanted to hit kuldi hard on the upside of her head when she mouthed that standard, idiotic, never-makes-sense line 'bout ''everything will be fine really soon now''. 😡 how??😡 she hasn't even been doing any of that standard praying-to-divinity to make things all right again. so... does kuldi know something that we don't? else it'd be really nice never to hear that line being delivered so emptyily again. *gaaah, i hate it when the nice-mommy-types in these shows deliver that line! hate it!! 😡*
* little thing: btw, i kinda liked the way they set up for lj to take that call. kuldi-meher running away 'cause they think it's for prem. prem already being on another call.
and even after lj took the call, the way he reacted to the call was sooooo full of ... stuff. we find out that prem still handles all the hotel work in india. that lj has stopped any involvement in his son's work - unlike before, when it used to be much more of a partnership.
actually, i liked that whole segment. 😆 i liked how it appeared like the junejas were probably hiring cheap labour in ludhiana and placing them in delhi positions. 😆 i liked how ridiculous that little hotel manager sounded calling prem juneja to solve a hall-rental-scheduling problem -- until it became clear why. one of the problem makers was a juneja too! then suddenly it made sense.
and oh, such a difference in the attention ''mr bunty walia'' got from the ''mr. juneja'' on the line!
and then.. when he does get all the details, his first instinct is ... to run to his perfect son -- prem. to solve the problem. and he has to remind himself that this is sooo not a problem he believes prem can solve.
i really liked that segment -- after all the stuff we got to see earlier. ya... i did. 😆
* heer thing: er... but when i found out that the hotel heer booked was a juneja hotel, i wondered suddenly - so heer doesn't know that prem owns it??? ya, ya, i know that it's a new hotel and all. but usually people who are service providers know everything about the hotel management -- and heer doesn't?? quite sloppy, heer. or is it ''aunty-ji'' who knows the hotel management -- and ''aunty ji'' doesn't know about heer's past??! but what the heck! if heer is ''heer juneja'', surely aunty-ji should figure out some connection??! *sigh, ya, i know. i'm thinking too much 'bout this, amn't i? sigh. what to do... i'm like that only. 😆*
* prem thing: oh my. dark, brooding, eyebrows in a straight forbidding line prem -- in white! even if a kurta. 😍
if only he'd loose those insane specs -- seriously dislike 'em. *sorry, smits, they are just soooo... making-me-wanna-tear-'em-off-his-face! you've got your job cut out for you to protect 'em. watch out -- i've got my jack-sparrow-pirate outfit on... 🤣*
* little thing: oooh! lj has finally bowed to phorum pressure ... and died??! 😆
* little thing: hmmm. what was the big deal with the fax floating downwards? *sigh* is it going to be an early warning to us that gaali-maa will get it? and for gaali-maa to start hyper-ventilating 'bout how to get rid of heer -- again??! *sighing while looking skyward to the doves for some help on this question... *
*sigh* but at the end of the show, i was left feeling .... strangely blue. and ya, it's got to do with the 6-year thing. prem-heer-are-one - well, obviously. and they've been coy about showing us anything real about heer's life - so that i'll w&w to see. but for the life of me, i can't figure how they are going to explain this six year difference from friday to today in the life of prem-and-heer. problem is there is one way that i can accept/figure it -- but that would mean prem-and-heer have agreed to stay apart for gaali maa's sake... but *sigh* since i never get reasons right in these shows, i know that cannot be it... *sigh* if it's not sensible, i don't think i'll be able to take the prem-heer-are-one-logic-contradition of six years of separation...
highlight of the episode: hmm. prem sitting back with closed eyes in his chair and then - almost lazily - telling mr. smarmy employee where he can get off! 😆 totally loved that... heer engaged with her work. nice! meher's line about how she can't turn away from her own. and preet's face just after that.
*sigh* w&w -- to find out how prem and heer stayed away from each other for six years. to find out that prem knows everything 'bout heer - but (obviously) just doesn't talk 'bout it. and heer knows what's happening to prem -- but (obviously) just doesn't talk about it. hoping that it won't be as stoooopid a reason as ... prem's hole-in-the-hea[d/rt]. 🤣
ooooh, khushi's got caps up!!!! thank you! and thaking that firm you were interning at -- for letting you go!! 🤣
boss prem, taking a well-deserved nap... isn't it interesting how even in repose, that face is ... brooding, unhappy? 🤔
(ha! suddenly much shorter smarmy employee... literally melting under the boss-prem don't-bug-me-'bout-holidays-you-bug juneja's glare.... 😆take that mr. ''ooh you work sunday-to-sunday, surrrrr..'' smarmy employee! and stop drooling! that's our job! 😛😆)
and in - actually, finally welcome! contrast - sunny heer... 😍
and hipping-hopping heer... 😆 ... er... hip-hop heer anyone? 🤣
(full delish caps up at: http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1206602)
oh,wasn't the shot below captivating?? 😍blurred, but still ... captivating? that hair (with no heer-winds to fluff 'em up... 😭). that jawline. that hawkish nose. those brooding eyes... 😍
* little thing: ewwwwww! that preet intro of video-conferencing was soooooo.... poor country!! which we are not any more darnit!! 😡 people in india have been on skype since ... oh, forever! 😡 and preet speaks in a wonderstruck way 'bout it??! 😡 that was such a horrid blooper, it was ewwwwwwwww!!! and meher not knowing what it is either!!! waaaah! it was worse than all the accents those kids could come up with. much, much worse than canatta... seriously. and the way that poor guy on the other side said ''no, no, it's okay. we'll continue later...'' aaaarrrgggh! i felt soooo embarassed for preet! and he didn't care!! argh!

but still, all of the problems i had with the dialogue till then was mostly the way things were said. it was when preet started contradicting himself all over the place that my head really started to hurt. why? lemme count the ways...
- preet was always the sensible one. i get that he can never forgive his pb -- but what is he trying to do by putting the responsibility of his being a stranger to meher's ''indian ways'' on his pb's one mistake??
- preet is cut up about how heer bhabhi will have dealt with having lost pb and her home. 'kay, i get that. what i do not get is that his response was ... to quit india??!! to quit a chance of ever helping her out?? what is preet doing with the jzoo??! what?? obviously meher hates it there. why, why, why is preet and meher in canada -- why is preet living in obvious distaste and unforgiving of prem??
- and the real thing that kills me about every single reaction of the people in this show -- this has been going on for six years??!!! why has preet been sitting in canatta apparently not speaking to his pb, holding him responsible for his hb's supposed misery -- for so long?? do these scriptwriters know how long a time that is?? to hold a beloved brother responsible for a - stoopid simple human mistake??! is he is soooo unforgiving, why is preet sheltering under a roof where his pb's earnings look like they have a large role to play in the upkeep?? how can he stomach the food he eats under that roof, if he can no longer stand the man who is living there with him?? why has he abandoned all efforts at finding and helping his hb himself? 😔 it looks obvious that the work he does is kinda independent of what his pb does (the hotel business in india being one of them) - then why is preet and meher in canada??!! 😔
* sweet thing: loved meher telling preet that he was the one making the mistake of not being able to forgive prem 'cause he expected him to be a god. and loved that last line of meher's -- that she hasn't yet learnt to turn away from her own loved ones. and 'cause it was such a great line, i loved how preet's face became shifty-eyed with shame after that. man, i hope he does s'thing about the shame soon!! i can't take non-sensible preet!!! 😲
