30 sep '09: big things, little things

y'know? this show never ceases to amaze me. what a new and amazing thing we got to see today, no? i mean, c'mon. i'm sure you will all agree with me when i say that i don't think we've even seen that much ... uh ... teeth! in an episode ever before! 🤣

* little thing: er... so. now new-harman is back into being a business man?

seriously. they just have to tell us something real about the rest of the characters on this show post the six year tls**.

oh. btw - we did have a six year tls** on this show, didn't we? i mean, this is six years later, right? prem and heer are six years older -- just like everyone else is six yars older? right?

** tls: time line shift

* little thing: aaaarrrrrgggggghhhh! prem just had to do it didn't he? he just had to talk to pbauji about ludhiana, didn't he?? 🤣 the only thing i suppose we can grateful about is that he didn't start and go on about his ancient friendship with balraj maan... or. er... did he? i think i was having a prem-heer flashback moment** then.🤣

* little thing: heer talking to herself about whether pbauji would agree to go back .. to his mitti! bwaaahahahahahahaha! i dunno 'bout you, but that was soooo funnneeeee. 🤣
and watching her say that line and the remainder of that segment convinced me of one thing...

* big thing: that entire segment between prem-and-heer was a spoof on all the characters in the show. and it was put together by these two.

no, really! i am convinced of it. that whole prem-heer moment was a spoof. 🤣 of the show. or of the concept of prem-heer-are-one! watch!
1. heer saying ''wonder if pbauji'll agree to go back to his mitti'' i mean, who says things like that??! 🤣
2. prem (and this was the funniest part, imho!) running into the room, full of glee! (yeah, like when has prem ever been gleeful before??! 😆) and then saying:

• ''ludhiana'', (sad face, long pause)
• ''shiv mandir'' ('kay, by this time, i was cracking up so badly i was actually rolling on the floor!)
• ''your dupatta flying in the wind, covering my face'' (bwaaa... hahahahahahahahahahaha!)

3. and in the middle of the spoof, it was heer who was the sweet part -- the hook back into the reality of the show. after all that ''mitti'' stuff, i loved how she stuck up her little finger at him saying that she knew pbauji had agreed.

and the sweet prem of prem-heer-are-one came back too then: in the way he looked into her eyes, held her hand, wrapped his arm around her waist and said ''if you are so sure, why are you asking?''
besides, a phhandooh can never be a spoof, merely part of a spoof. and man, was that a sweet phhandooh or not! 😍

but after that, it was back into spoof time. 🤣

4. prem saying ''going back to our prem kahani''. (at prem-kahani, and the way that his eyes flicked down to her lips, my mind was screaming spoof! spoof, spoof, spoof! seriously! thank goodness he didn't say ''hamara pyar!'' 🤣)

5. and then! heer saying ''no, we are now three -- it'll be our... mohabbat.'' (ow, ow, ow, laughing at prem-heer-are-one being the sum and essence of all that can be called love in the world? hey... it's all your fault! none of us believed it and you made us believe it, y'know? 😆)

so of course i thought that was a calculated spoof! and it was hilarious! great job, guys! loved it, loved it, loved it.

just ... don't do it again often, will ya? seeing that much teeth was quite a shock... 🤣
* last-on-spoof thing: but i must say, i'm curious 'bout one thing. just what was it that hc was cracking up at the end? that was not natural! and i'm convinced that ag was also cracking up but she was hiding in his shoulder and we couldn't see.

i mean, hc does prem best, and that was not prem. so s'thing made him go totally non-prem. and it needs thinkin' 'bout -- even in the middle of that spoof moment. here're my candidates: 😆

• they got a huge pay-raise and they're really happy 'bout it.
• they got put into a new show and they're really happy 'bout it.
• they were told that they have won best jodi at the ita and they're really happy 'bout it.
• they were told that the show is shifting back into prime time and they're reallky happy 'bout it. 😆
• ag was teasing him that the phorum would be really thrilled to see that the undershirt thingie was gone, and he was cracking up
• ag was blowing in his ear and it was tickling him like crazy which was why he was cracking up.

there! any other possible reasons?🤣 so -- which one d'you think is most true? personally? i think it was the last one...🤣 seriously, that much teeth is just not natural! 🤣

* little thing: oh dear, maya ticked off that they have to shift to ludhiana. er... but one thing that struck me -- they've hardly been around in delhi, no? and she's already got a social circle she will miss?? 😆

* little thing: meher teasing heer about obviously being happy about the shift back to ludhiana.

er... meher puttar, your love story also started there, i thought? so why the big difference between you and heer on this one?

or, are they trying to tell us that meher never had a ''love story'', that meet was just an arranged marriage and remained one? *me-no-liking-it face*

* little thing: er... exactly what is the house that they've shifted back into at ludhiana? it looked much much much smaller than the original jzoo, no?

* little thing: wow. they packed up the house to leave -- six whole years ago! covered furniture -- but left the family photographs hanging on the walls??? *all nice and clean and wiped, btw, as if they havne't been away for six years.. 😆.*

what a strange family. the first thing mom packs when we have to shift houses are the photographs...

* little thing: seriously! i need to know s'thing -- exactly what was the time when all those things that heer flashback-ed to happen? exactly when did prem and heer have the time -- after he came out of his hole-in-the-hea[d/rt] delusions -- to do this coochie-coo-ey stuff?

and even if they did -- exactly when was glob so peaceful with prem and heer that she would be lolling around them getting a neck massage???

or ... er ... should i not wanna know, and just shut up and enjoy the possibility that they did happen?? 😆

* little thing: btw, prem was in shirts in all those flashbacks, didja notice? and <drum-roll>

no. undershirt. thingies!!!! woot, woot, woot! 😆

i love heer! 🤣 (maybe they were laughing about hc not wearing those things while cracking up during the phug... 😆)

heh. i soooo have my old job back behind the scenes of this show. and i only consented to do all shirts -- regardless of colour -- 'cause they kept whining about the recession and not being able to have different people for different shirt colours, 'kay?? otherwise, no way would i've agreed to roll up the sleeves of that pretty sky-blue shirt... 😆

* little flashback#1 thing: heeheehee. the prem-with-heer's-foot was cute. 'xcept i have a phundamental question: what the heck was he doing staring at her foot like that? was he planning on eating it, the bhukkad?? 🤣

but i loved how heer pulled his ear in that one. or the way that he swooped her up through all her protests and then 🤣 staggered out of the frame!!

prem -- need to practise those get-up-off-the-floor-in-one-fluid-motion-and-swoop-wife-in-arms moves a little more, i think. 😆

* little flashback#2 thing: given how nasty glob has been over the last six-plus years to heer, it was weird as heck seeing how she and heer were ganged up against prem in that neck-massage flashback.

and prem was soooo ... loud in that one! has prem ever been that loud? he was more prem in the previous flashback, acting all goopy over heer's foot.

but *sigh* i guess that prem has always been most prem-ish when it comes to heer, na? 🤣

* little flashback#3 thing: how sweet heer was in anticipation of her ''gift'' in that last one.

* little flashback#4 thing: 😲 did i, or did i not just hear prem say that the kheer is good to eat -- just like heer is??!!!!!

omg! *me turning tomato-red at this point* not that i don't like it. but -- after being starved in a desert for so long, getting such suggestive hints from prem is unsettling my poor nervous system a little more than i'd imagined... 🤣

* little thing: wasn't it hilarious how the kids of the house were totally mimicking the adults of the house in the cleanup?

* prem thing: as expected, if heer is anywhere in the vicinity, prem just can't keep his eyes off her, can he? ☺️

and of course, he has to get into her face too. not only does he go across with flowers for her to put. but he also spends time leisurely perusing her face, her mouth. what was ... uh ... interesting was how heer was matching him look for look -- at his face, his mouth.

and unlike in the past, where they were young and tremulous, now they are seasoned and aware. those smiles were not the smiles of immaturity, that's for sure. they looked like the smiles of a pair who are just waiting for the night to unfold, and they can get to be alone behind the doors of their own room... *eeps! i can't believe they got me to write that!*

* phhandooh thing: prem phhandooh-ing shamelessly with heer under the pretext of helping her jam the flowers into the vase. no wonder, heer was all blushy and smiley-coy as she flashed a look from underneath her lashes at him...

oh, how i love phhandoohs -- even if the stoooopid cameras didn't really dwell, i liked the suggestion of how firm a grip prem had on her hand, in the way that heer had to pull her hand to leave him after the job was done... 😊

* little thing: hmmm! glob is reading to her grandchildren from ''doctors on trial''??!!!

er.. is that her way preparing the children to be more accepting and interested in criminals -- for when she will go on trial, and then eventually be put into jail?? 😆

*sigh* i know that won't happen -- no way heer or prem will allow that mass to receive punishment she deserves.... *sigh* still! a body can hope, can't they??! and i do that sooooo well! 😆

* little thing: how sweet heer looked in that sari as she served pbauji his tea!

*er... was he reading the mumbai mirror sitting in ludhiana? i mean, not that it's impossible to get it there. still... 😆*

* precap thing: prem and heer matched in the colour of their clothes... 😳

but heh heh heh. was there anyone else whose first thought was that the portrait was gonna be of ... <drumroll> ... heer's parents -- ie, ballu and teji maan??!!! 🤣🤣🤣

no? *wiping tears of mirth from my eyes*

i agree, that might be a stretch. 🤣

well, i thought it might be a family portrait -- which all the family together, including veera?

highlight of the episode: hmmm! 😆 for me? the spoof-phug moment. 'cause whatever is said and done, they looked adorable when they sat together, arms around each other, prem holding heer's hand against his heart, bumping his forehead against his, and ... they smiled at each other happily.

at that moment, those were sincerely happy smiles. and i loved it from the bottom of the heart.

and i confess: i liked the idea that it could've been a spoof, which was put together by hc and ag. i like the idea that they might actually have the freedom to so s'thing as silly as that in the show -- once in a while! 😆

** my prem-heer flashback moment: remember when prem was apparently dead, and heer was taken to the restaurant? and she got a letter to sing for prem? and then he appeared at a table, and gazed lovingly at her, and she sang? except he wasn't really there -- the loving look was all in her mind? and preet came running in and took her away?

that was a superb moment. 'cause it was just all about how she soooo didn't think that prem was dead then. it wasn't like she had to say how she knew that prem wasn't dead 'cause her heart was still beating -- she was living it. and it was a superb moment 'cause i loved how preet -- who always looked out for him pb, was now always looking out for his heer bhabhi.

it was a superb moment 'cause it made me believe, in many ways, that
prem wasn't really dead. 😍

hi E,

*reserved*


Edit: u know wat? i am not gonna de-reserve it. a) the caps r making me go 🤪 b) there is nothing i can talk about but drool non-stop @ the hug and smiles☺️

But this bt,lt cracked me up.Estee u simple rock. *bows*All those reasons u stated 😆😆😆
Had such a hearty laugh reading it :)

thank god u agree that yesterday we saw 😕 it was the strangest epi i've seen ! i was cringing most of the time. and today we've had a ball at the EDT. and are planning our own premeer scene. shld be worth watching when we finally stop arguing abt budget/location etc. sigh! 😆

E 🤗

Great bt,lt. Yesterday's episode was so sweet, wasnt it? I loved the first segment... but as u said it was more hc and ag... the way she put her head on his shoulder and the way she put her hand on his chest.... 😍 these two are very comfortable with each other, arent they?

The flashbacks reminded me of a VM of prem and heer.... nothing actually made sense, but it was so cute....... and it was so nice to see them so happy. 😊

And the looks they were giving each other....... it was an i want to devour u from prem and a matching lets see who will devour whom from heer....... i want to see the night scenes behind the closed doors of their bedroom. i am a total besharam in this aspect. i want to know what happened. 😳

On the whole, it was a cute and sweet episode. Loved seeing both of them so happy and smiling so much. That was the best part!!

Byo. Take care. have fun.

Love,
Ash

Edit: I think they both were laughing at a private joke......... HC was cracking up crazy and AG must have been too. 😆

i mean, hc does prem best, and that was not prem. so s'thing made him go totally non-prem. and it needs thinkin' 'bout -- even in the middle of that spoof moment. here're my candidates: 😆

• they got a huge pay-raise and they're really happy 'bout it.
• they got put into a new show and they're really happy 'bout it.
• they were told that they have won best jodi at the ita and they're really happy 'bout it.
• they were told that the show is shifting back into prime time and they're reallky happy 'bout it. 😆
• ag was teasing him that the phorum would be really thrilled to see that the undershirt thingie was gone, and he was cracking up
• ag was blowing in his ear and it was tickling him like crazy which was why he was cracking up.

🤣

Thank u thank u thank u........... it WAS sooooooo NOT premmm.
i also felt that!!!!🤣

But can i tell u MY theory on it????

Well....don't laugh at it ok???

I thought..... HC-AG proposed and r quite Happy about it. 🤣🤣
Call me Insaneeeee....... but this wat i felt.
Even in Flower-potting scene(dat's wat i call wat they did at vase! the force with which both of them 'jammed da flowers into vase! 😆)
there also though it was prem n heer.....but i saw HC-AG....sharing sumthing only they know. 🤔

Either i am 😈 or 🤪 to think so. But curse these two.

believe me estee, i was waiting for ur bt.,lt., of this episode. even iam desperate to know why both hc & ag were smiling like that and i must say that your analysis was great. In fact it was more of hcag than premheer in this episode. But, were they just smiling & happy or Blushing too? They were blushing in almost the entire episode. Now i want to know why these two were blushing like this. Like anitha said even i felt that they both shared something really personal which only they knew. How cruel of these two. anyways god bless them bc after a long time thy made many of us smile through the entire episode.

enjoyed reading again Estee..I really love reading BT,LT. And yesterday's premeer scenes were more of Harshiti and the phug was perfect.
