** : phukda == prem-heer ka tukda 😆
* little thing: wasn't it odd how at the start of the episode, prem gets heer to promise that she will never leave him again. and then he calmly goes to the gate to open it? i'd have thought he'd hold her hand as both of 'em walk into jzoo, no? 🤔
* big thing: ewwwwwwww!!! glob pretending like she has suddenly got a heart??
after six long years of maintaining hatred, she has suddenly started wondering if heer cares for her? after all this time of wheezing hatred in every breath she takes, that her own daughter died of heer-related causes, she suddenly made this all about whether heer paid her more respect than heer loved prem??!?!
what universe shifts are we getting to see happen in the skull of the creatives/script-writers??! are these the same people who have been scripting for glob for the last two months?? have they just now understood who glob was 'cause they have finished watching the episodes in 2008 or s'thing?
what the heck was that whole glob-flashback of heer taking care of gayatri-vegetable?? yes, you morons. that was heer. yes, you mass of rotting flesh, that is what she did.
*of course, one benefit of those flashbacks was that we get to see how young heer used to be those days! what a ... lovely creature heer has been, and is today. i love how we see that heer has actually grown up. now if only we can see that prem has grown up too... 😃*
as pbauji said both prem-and-heer together are ''the two threads that keep this family together!'' just as they always were! why are you pretending you care about all that stuff now? why are you pretending that if you could remember how she cared for you, you wouldn't think she doesn't care for you now? you surviving-in-a-deep-freeze-without-a-brain rotten mass. i can hardly wait to watch you suffer. *furious muh*
seriously. glob is vermin, and needs to be put back into the hole in the ground that she came from. all i want is that i be allowed to watch that entire thing happening in full glorious technicolour.
they can even spread her being miserable while it's going on over two whole episodes. only glob being miserable. and i will watch it happily!! 😡
* photography thing: er... why was the photography on prem and heer weird in the show today? like they shot them separately -- and there were prem-heer-ka-back ka stand-ins for the group shots today? 😆 was all very weird....
* hc-ag as prem-heer thing: but then it becomes even more remarkable to watch hc-as-prem and ag-as-heer today, then.
'cause through all the moments today when pbauji was giving heer charge of her responibilities to love and be with prem for the rest of her life, watching how prem's eyes grew moisty, or how heer's eyes filled up -- wow.
if they were in the middle of a shot with everyone, it'd have been simpler, i guess. but if they did this while they were on their own, facing stand-ins of other actors reading the dialogues out to them, while the cameras were trained on their face, then those emotions in their eyes were quite brilliant.
seriously. these two play prem and heer so perfectly, it's just wow.
* little thing: er... what is maya playing at now?? i thought she was disgraced in glob's eyes. so clearly she is mocking glob and her tactics loudly. but she is clearly not a heer fan either.
*sigh* i guess -- just as always -- maya is doing whatever it takes so that she can have as much of her kind of twisted fun as possible. no matter who gets hurt as a consequence?
* little thing: but seriously -- there is not one person who actually cares for glob anymore, no? i mean, meher kinda fears her. and heer...? heer too?
* little thing: er... so many questions for heer and why she ''ran away from prem''.
is everyone forgetting that the reason they separated in the first place itself was 'cause of things that prem did??
* phukda thing: ooooh, so i was soooo glad for mama's little supporter, phukda! go little one, go! she was the total star of the show today!
first she said she will fight fate itself so that her mama will get to stay with her always. then she said that she will fight anyone -- including her old grandfather -- if they keep teasing her mother.
go chahat! that's exactly what your mother needs -- someone who will fight for her. and that too, in deed, not just in words!
* little thing: pbauji's list of requirements for heer to be allowed back into the house was sweet.
i 'specially liked the one he said he expects her to break -- that she would not just follow her husband, but that she would walk side-by-side with him. woot, woot, woot!
i loved the reactions on prem's face and heer's face when he said that -- just by the look in their eyes, 'specially prem! how does he get his eyes to go moist just like that?? and the way he swallowed as if his throat had become tight watching heer promise his father that she would obey all the promises the old man was asking for on behalf of his son.... 😍
* big thing: ooooh -- pbauji started on a ''aaj yey lalit juneja...''??!!!!
woah, woah, woah!!!
considering that the first ''aaj mein prem juneja....'' was something that prem juneja said in his heart and his mind to his heer -- it sure got ''heard'' by a heck of a lot of people!!
i mean, i know that heer heard it 'cause heer and prem talk with their eyes, and that night, prem's eyes never left heer ever. so of course, she heard that.
but pbauji heard it too??!! ooooooh. that was some powerful marriage vow that prem recited to his love that night! 🤣
* little thing: *sigh* no matter how hard they try, they are never gonna recreate the magic of that first time prem said it, are they? *sigh sigh sigh!*
what did he say today?
i take the permission of your memories, your promises
your every answer, your every yes, your every belief,
you can trust me
that we both... no, we three will always never part.
in front of my parents, my teachers, my society,
i will promise that
heer and prem will always be together.
this reminded me a little of what heer had said at that new-shiv-mandir after ludhiana, no?
and even though i loved how the end, it somehow came back to prem and heer -- two of them even after having started of as three of them -- , i remember that this is rather exactly what prem had said at the last proper shiv mandir meeting between prem and heer. he had vanished from office and made heer frantic about where he had gone. and she finally figured she'd find him at shiv mandir? *oh wonderful real shiv mandir! 😭 miss you, that shiv mandir!* when he put her payal back around her ankle, he said that he would stand in front of anyone and everyone who tried to separate them. that he would never allow them to be apart.
and so, what he said today was... just that. something he said today. something that i don't think i'll remember like what he said the first time.
y'know? we have seen the first part a lot, the ''aaj mein prem juneja, inn hawaon ko sakshi maankay...''. but i have always, always, always loved the second part of his declaration that day even more.
apney naam kay saath,
apnay astitva, apnay shareer, aur apnay atma kay saath,
heer maan ko
apnay dharam sey, karam sey, dil sey,
aur apnay har jasbaath sey,
apni patni maanta hoon.''
(no, i didn't remember it precisely -- just most of it. got it from the 28th sep bt,lt. 😆
so nope. they can do whatever the heck they want -- but they're not gonna be able to beat that one. 😍
* little thing: argh!! jzoo people doing what they do best! one of them actually asks a smart question -- kuldi asking heer what made her run away -- and instantly prem steps in to deflect the question.
* prem thing: hmmmmm. first he cuts pbauji off from his ''aaj yey lalit juneja'' bhashan. and now he cuts kuldi off from getting some sensible reason out of heer.
has he taken over the role of bhashan-master at jzoo?? 😆 why did he insist on speaking for heer throughout this episode?? is he serious this time about no-one and nothing coming between him and his heer? is this evidence of that??!
oooooooooooooooh!!! bossy-husband prem! me likes!!!! *cheesily grinning muh*
* little thing: er... new harman calling phukda ''daadi-amma''. er... how the heck do you know, mr. i've-got-a-plasticky-face-that-can-kinda-smile? she's been in the house for one night and you know what chahat is all about??! hmmm!
* little thing: er... so i got heer's look of trepidation at glob glaring down at her from her window.
what i didn't get was why she gave maya that startled look over her shoulder when maya answered prem that glob was not feeling well. did you get why heer looked at maya then?
* little thing: but i liked that prem asked where his mother was. i liked that he has not forgotten that glob tried to make heer miserable in the worst way possible before.
go prem. please be protective-over-sita-ram this time. please don't let anything come between you and heer, please, please, please?
* little thing: oooh. so gi-it glob is really delusional about gi-it and prem, no? er... what makes her think that gi-it has made the sacrifice?
are we gonna get tomorrow's episode start with gi-it gently reminding her glob that it was heer's sacrifice that she stopped. and that she can only be sacrificing if she had prem's love! prem never loved her, so there is no question of gi-it sacrificing anything! no? at least, that's what i think.
* precap thing: oooh. so gi-it is gonna be prem-heer's hanuman!
go gi-it! go get into glob's face and set fire on her entire dreams and desires to get back at heer! go, go, go!
* little thing: over the weekend i was wondering if we would get to see a new montage this week. i'm kinda glad we are still in the same montage.
i think it should be the same montage until we get everything that made that separation between prem and heer happen wiped clear off the face of the earth!
like we should be told why prem left for can-atta leaving heer behind -- and of course, glob should be the reason for it! we should see that glob is known to be a seriously mentally disturbed person. and put into an institution for such persons. we should find out why gi-it and heer are such great pals.
i wanna know all these things before they move us into the new prem-heer-fiercely-hugging-with-phukda-trying-to-squeeze-in-between montage... no? 😍
* big question thing: so. 😆
phukda wants time with her mother. prem (obviously) wants time with his heer. er... so. there's a mama-my-heer-scheduling issue coming up, no? 🤣
is anyone else also curious to see what the sleeping arrangement is gonna be in prem's bedroom tonight? i'm thinking... heer in the middle, her body cradling phukda. and prem on the other side, body cradling heer and with his arms around both his girls.
i think -- if i get to see this tomorrow night... actually any night! -- i can actually die happy.... 🤣 in case anyone is listening... another thing that i can see and die happily, of course, is a kiphph...🤣
highlight of the episode: *thinking thinking* hmmm. phukda telling everyone that even if kismat conspires against her mother, she will fight kismat and make sure that they will always remain together. yeah, chahat! go prem-heer-ka-tukda! all the respect and the old-fashioned we-will-suffer-everything-'cause-we're-so-lucky-we-have-each other can stay with the parents. hopefully all the sanity and the atual smart fighting-with-every-one-for-prem-heer-are-one will be found in the phukda! 😆 obviously, someone has to be there to take care of prem-heer ... and this child is perfect!
oh, and happy 350th episode day, btw. 😆 to celebrate, i've got some old caps in the next post -- now if only if.com will allow me to put 'em up... 😆
