2 sep '09: big things, little things -- done!

woot, woot, woot!!! *what?? why are you looking at me like that? even preetstess' can woot!*

edit add
oh, i would have said ''pbauji is back, pbauji is back, pbauji's back'' too.

except i'm waiting for shanu (-shivani-) to put that up on the lalit juneja appreciation thread... 😆
edit end

second, 'cause someon.. some people have been starting posts protesting against me, and saying my name in the same sentence as ... 😲 the dread dark channel *+!!! 😲 ya, can you believe it??! all 'cause i was late putting up my last two bt,lts... 😲

this is just to tell 'em that i'm here, i'm gonna put up the bt,lt. 'cause even though i do not like the show much just now (that is true) my heat is still in the keeping of this prem-heer two. plus my beloved pcp depends upon me to tell her what is happening to her beloved pair when she can't see the show -- in phull and phine details. 😊

so my beloved phorum-ers, i'm afraid that i am gonna be here, posting these things, no matter how little sense they make, no matter how much they put you to sleep. at least, i am not like *+-india, no? 😛

ooh man! now that was an interesting episode! why? 'cause it was unexpected! and i dunno how many of you have got it by now, but i like unexpected. 😆 let me hasten to add: i like unexpected ''good'' -- like when prem told heer ''kyunki mein tumsey pyar karta hoon!''. or he stood up from the mandap and went to beat up prashant. or turned to ashlesha at the mandap and told her that he would never love her. i do not like unexpected ''bad'' -- like ... prem actually turning out to have kept away from heer 'cause some lying fraud doctor told him he had a hole in the heart.

so what was unexpected today? few-few things. lemme count 'em as i write out the bt,lt.

* little thing: i was confused at the end of the previous episode 'bout how prem figured that whoever was behind the custody case (''bad guy'') knows him and his relationship with heer so well.

sonalicious explained it. so prem knew that the glob lawyer was in the house hiding. 'cause he had been alerted by the ''bad guy'' that he would probably be coming. fits. thanks. 😃

prem said ''meri heer kay ankhon mein..'' 😍 in his prem voice. 😍

* little thing: oooh! we get to see heer's bedroom more! and heer in a snon-sari getup! oooh. nice.

btw, i liked how her first reaction to gi-it's invitation is to say no. given what happened in the pooja later, she should've followed her instincts, no? 🤔 i mean, what else did she expect would happen in the pooja??? 🤔

* little thing: ooooooooh!!!! an explanation for phukda's** absence! seriously! these scriptwriters are soooo getting feedback from this phorum! 😆

phukda: prem-heer ka tukda. koi shaq? 😆

* ugh thing: this show was filled with glob smiling face. i mean, how much more ugh can things get??? 🤢

* little thing: the only time glob face became sour glob face was when she saw heer come in with gi-it and gi-it's glob. * 🤣seriously! doesn't that sound like a kid walking around with a globe as her favourite toy? 🤣*

but man, the joy of seeing glob face go sour! go heer. you're gonna suffer for making glob face sour. you're gonna cry for wanting to go and speak to he-who-is-your-heartbeat. but i feel a fierce thrill whenever it does. i do. go heer, go!

* little thing: hmm! the juneja boys bring in yet another idol of mr. ganesh. the last time around, prem and heer had just come back into the juneja fold. and were beginning to smile at each other, and hold hands in the open and feed each other sweets, as if no-one else existed. and gayatri-mom blessed and rejoiced in their togetherness.

and now? but now, they have glob cursing and scheming against their togetherness. so now, they yearn in secret to smile at each other, and hold hands in the open. *sigh* i yearn too...

* little thing: oooooooooh! prem's in a white kurta again!! er... a really thick white one, eh? no? you didn't notice.... ? 🤣

* little thing: oooooooooh! pbauji's back!

of course, it was hilarious that the guys are struggling to find balance for the idol, in the middle of a crowd of able-bodied people. and it took a streaking-in-from-behind pbauji to help them!

but i guess i have to grant the stoooopid scriptwriters at least that much drama, no? 😆

* little thing: but it was sweet how for a moment, everything went from dark depression to lighthearted hope, no? the way preet instantly reverted to comedy and smiles, winks and teases; prem looked like he wanted to hug his father; and even new harman's face lighted to being a little less unbearable with a smile. 🤣

what irked me was how everyone expected things ''to quickly get solved'' now that pbauji's back! i mean, c'mon! what are they for that they can't do anything without the old guy???

i want to know -- what, oh what, is it that the glob uses to keep this entire once-upon-a-time strong family so weak-kneed-and-jelly-fish-brained?? what??

* preet thing: when, oh when, is he gonna stop teasing his father about his lack of hair?? 😆 well, even though it has been done so often in the past, i hope we get it a little more -- it was soooo sweet seeing the curling-upward preet eyelashes framing twinkling eyes once again. seriously! missed you, eyelashes-curling-upward twinkling-eyed preet smile!

* little thing: hmmm, so! prem and pbauji's been chatting everyday, huh? so pbauji's updated on everything that has happened so far?

oooh, pbauji! what have you got cooking up your sleeve???

* little thing: but i must say. the really unexpected moment was when maya got thrilled that pbauji's back! 🤣 i have never seen her be so joyful 'bout his presence before! all 'cause she thinks that he's there to protect the family wealth from getting swallowed by the glob! 🤣

* meet thing: meet meeting 😆 in the (unfortunately) perfect meet place -- the kitchen! seriously, they've had their sweetest moments there, no? 😆

and of all the hatchings and the plottings and the hopings that meet talked about today, the sweetest of all things talked about was when preet said that if he ate all the sweets, then what would happen to ''these'' while pulling meher's cheeks! thuch a thweethearth... twuly. 😍

* little thing: hmm. unexpected moment #2 -- pbauji makes prem do the little couple-pooja. and that too with gi-it! hmmmm!

and i don't think it was only i/we who got startled. what surprised me was that prem was startled!

i had all my pbauji-prem-are-hatching-something antennae up when he talked about talking with prem everyday. but this was something that prem was not expecting to happen. and i think that prem understood what pbauji was going to do even before heer did. 'cause when pbauji ordered prem up, heer had a small involuntary movement as if to go to prem's side. and prem was trying to turn behind to look at heer -- as if to pheyeooh her that this was a plot? to reassure her?

* prem thing: so, when pbauji permitted gi-it and prem to do the pooja, everyone's reaction was expected. harman-meet-kuldi shocked. maya surprised. glob thrilled beyond belief. heer weepy. *sigh* and prem?

prem looked like he was fighting himself to give in gracefully to pbauji's order. and even when he had to give in, he did it with little grace. at the end, after glob told gi-it to take the thali around, all prem did was stand in one spot and pray.

and y'know what that reminded me of? the day that prem-heer had gone with their wedding invitation card for blessings to shiv mandir (the first fake one 😆) and pbauji did not bless heer, all prem did was stand before the god and pray. he didn't turn to look longingly at his family as he was wont to do. he just stood and prayed. it was heer who made the vows to reunite prem and his family.

now also prem stood and prayed. and as heer ran away in distress, i wondered what prem was praying for? the strength to play out pbauji's plan? forgiveness for having done the pooja in front of god with a girl he had no intention of making his life mate? forgiveness from heer for making ''one more tear drop from your eyes''?

what was prem praying for, i wonder... 😍

* big thing: i thought that what pbauji had to say to stop prem's protests were interesting: ''you've been acting according to your will for the last six years. now listen to me!''

seriously, didn't that sound like pbauji has a plan to get heer back for prem? and that both know the plan is not exactly to prem's liking -- probably 'cause it involves putting heer through lots of misery?

*sigh* why do i get the feeling that prem should not have stopped heer from telling him that she is back to passionate-about-prem heer again??

'cause i soooo just don't want heer to cry anymore. i don't. *fierce sigh* not gonna happen, no? *sigh*

* prem thing: y'know? other than the first moment when they all brought in the ganesh idol, and prem had a bright smile on his face, prem's face was dark all through, no? and whenever he could, he was staring at heer. not that that is very new. still... 😍

* meet thing: ooh, second meet meeting!!! er... is this our lucky day or what??! 😍

interesting how it started with their taking opposite sides of the argument no? one on pb's side, the other on heer didi's side.

most interesting how their positions had totally flipped from the first time they fought about this! then, preet was totally on heer's side. and now he's on pb's. while meher's totally on heer's side, while earlier she was on pb's!

but no matter - they still want the same thing -- prem-heer-are-one. just like everyone else.

* little thing: hmmm, such little faith preet showed in his father's love for heer, no? me? i think that -- for once -- pbauji's focussing on getting heer her happiness by getting prem and heer back together.

only problem is, that i'm filled with the sense that all of them think that they need to get heer out of her stubborn-i-hate-prem mode. after all, they all think that she is the one who has arranged this marriage of prem's with gi-it. 🤔

* little thing: who else died of laughter at the expression on pbauji's face when he and gi-it were joined by glob and gi-it glob? it was one of such abject terror, no?? 🤣

but it was totally understandable, i thought. the amount of space taken in that frame by pbauji vs. glob and gi-it glob was like 1:5!! imagine if he got to deal with both glob (wife) and gi-it glob (mother-in-law) together! he would have no power! they would totally squish him! flatter than a bug on a windshield on the highway!

man, did i understand his looking terrified just then! 🤣🤣🤣

* little thing: gi-it glob asks them whether they want to finish all their conversation in that moment itself. hmmm. so pbauji and gi-it have been talking all the time? hmm.

* little thing: y'know? put heer and pbauji in a scene together and it always becomes a rich gem. always.

''are you alright?''
''yes, i am perfectly fine.''

there were soooo many unspoken messages and emotions that came to the surface the instant she came to him and stood with bowed head and lowered eyelashes that it was not funny!

there was compassion in the way he looked at her. and a sense of regret. regret that he was going to cause her pain. but there was also a sense of being resolute! that he hated the idea of causing her pain, but was going to do it anyway! 'cause he was doing it for prem. and he was doing it for her. he was doing it for prem-heer-are-one. that conviction in what he was doing shone in his eyes as he looked at her.

in hers, there was hurt and - strangely enough - a sense of acceptance. as if she had both a question -- what are you doing, pbauji? -- as well as a statement -- i know this is hurting both of us but i did start it, so i don't blame you. what killed me was how she looked (like she always has with pbauji) like a daughter rather than a daughter-in-law.

i truly truly truly love all pbauji-heer moments. i do.

* little prem-heer thing: prem came in from behind. and it was unexpected -- or maybe not? -- that pbauji instantly moved away. so confident was he that his beta would not spoil the plan? if indeed plan there is... *sigh, i am sooo often wrong on this in these shows...*

of course, heer couldn't have moved even if her gods had ordered her. what was miserable was how she was desperate to catch a glimpse of his eyes. but prem wouldn't allow her to!

with a curt message that she shouldn't worry about the custody case, he had moved and had gone away from her.

*sigh* prem. whatever you are doing for your heer, let it please be for prem-heer-are-one also.

please don't be labouring under a misapprehension that you have to marry gi-it 'cause youhadsexwithher. please, don't. i swear, i'll track you, hunt you down, whereever you are, just to hit you on the upside of your head if you think that.

and please, can't you just let her tell you now that she loves you? like she did before? no misunderstandings and stuff? can we just keep the mandap drama for everyone else, but not between prem-and-his-heer? can we have prem-heer hug before the mandap drama -- and pull the drama off together?

*sigh* i'm not gonna get my wish, am i? *double sigh*

* little thing* heh. glob's worried that prem's really gonna kick her bottom for doing the custody case thing. good. be worried. i like... no, adore you looking worried, i do! 😈

* precap thing: *sigh* gi-it with a bandaged head and fierce resolve to get prem and heer together. *sigh* but does she know that it is prem and heer?

highlight of the episode: hmmmmm! prem's voice saying ''meri heer''. prem's smile when pbauji comes to the pooja. (god) preet pulling his wife's cheeks and promising he'll leave some modaks for her. prem's pretty-pretty troubled-troubled big-big eyes when he is asked to do the pooja with gi-it. prem's bowed head praying ... for what? pbauji-heer moment, loving, solemn, resolute, sad.

ooph! done! now, w&w** for more! next episode please. 😃

g'night all. i hope we have a great episode tomorrow... today! 😆
