quite a food-for-thought episode...loved it as usual...watever mood they set with an episode...gv me one devaskshi scene and i travel to dreamland *blush*
ok first things first...the enemy has struck get ur weapons ready...oh no not a war yet since devbabu is in no mood to attack the enemy since natasha is involved...tina rightly said just like mr.gujral he is also mixing personal feelings with business...but too late ms.tina...that mr.dev exists no more for whom business solely means source of money for his family...today he has learnt that to stay happy one has to spend time with loved ones...how true wen tina said dev is one of a kind...
i always love their phn convos and today was not an exception...i hv seen ppl change in love and even get educated in love...but dev is actually getting masters degree after falling in love...and i dont mean he is learning the essence of love...i mean that is there but he is now learning every small things that make a relationship special...all his life he has worked hard for his family...focusing on business running after contracts, attending meetings, conferences etc etc...i am sure a person who at such a young age has set up such a huge business must hv forsaken hundreds of hours that he cud hv otherwise spent with his family...but the loss of those times is striking him now...with neha gone he is now realizing how much he is missing her and how he cud spend more time with her...the very fact that money is only a necessity of life and not a source of smiles and laughter and happiness is now being learnt by dev after he has fallen in love...today wen he luks at himself he can see he is always smiling...he knows now that he can feel the essence of colors...and he attributes that to falling in love and spending time with his lady love...it is only with this he has now realized happiness comes from being in the companionship with ppl whom one loves and cares for...he can gv them every comfort of life but once they will go away these riches wont form his memories but the times that he spends with them will enrich his memory...today he is upset since as he gropes in his memory he can hardly find any quality time spent with neha..."mein ye nahi keh raha hoon ke mujhe galat waqt par pyar hua hai" i almost wept at that line...the poor guy has fallen in love but his lifelong mission of caring only for his family comes to the fore all the time...today he feels guilty that he is gving priority to his own feelings...my heart went out as he blames himself for doing something which is a natural thing in our life...its absolutely rite to love and live for ur family but it is equally rite to indulge oneself and gv importance to own feelings...
again i feel how well sona understands dev since it is the second time dev almost blames his love life for missing neha...dev needs to learn that loving thyself is not a sin...
i absolutely loved it wen he said that he filters the rights and wrongs before speaking with anyone else but with sona he can be honest widout getting scared of showing the wrong sides of him...being in love does not only mean how deeply one loves that person since for dev love means merging two hearts in a way that wen one heart beats blood gets pumped into the other one's body...
this is how dev is accepting sona in his life...not everyone is comfortable with sharing own feelings and i dont feel that is wrong...being introvert is part of personality just like being extrovert is...however for dev it is not an effort to come out of his shell wen he is with sona but he is just naturally opening up...i mean sona is never pushing him to open up but sona's love and trust has that effect on him that he is going against his own nature in a natural and comfortable manner...
dev ishwari scene is only another extension of exhibiting the infallible bond they share...i believe not only ishwari but even dev likes noone to step in the private space between them...
oh and they actually remember that nikki is supposed to go on college trip...quite impressed i am since i hv seen in other shows makers forgetting many such things which they had mentioned in earlier episodes but never followed up...but then this is a one of a kind show, rite...
wen dev told sona to take care of his mom she said that she will take care of her mom...it was quite a nice thing to say and hear...well they r in love so its obvious that sona will now want to feel his family as her own...all these i can understand but isnt it now time to declare this in front of their family...i mean both families...
now the penultimate scene...quite a scary one thanx to brilliant perf by supriya ji...i really dont know whom to blame for the mess...ishwari knows her son...he never welcomes anyone intruding in her personal space except ishwari...today sona is saying dev asked her to find the key kept in a hidden place to open his wardrobe to take out a business file...so out of character for dev and how is ishwari supposed to understand that...she still thinks sona is only an employee...
dev is gving her permission to freely roam around in his house because she is his gf...letz be honest...wud dev requested sona to bring the file if she were still only an employee...i am sure no and he wud hv called ishwari even knowing that she has pain in her knees or else he wud hv come back to take the file...so how come ishwari is to know that their relationship status has chnged and so sona can so easily move into his private space...in this way dev is only making things worse...ishwari's growing suspicions regarding sona will not do any gud wen their relationship will be exposed to her...
and sona...at least someone shud be practical...she cud say that she cudnt enter his room in his absence just like that...she was already once caught by ishwari in dev's room during neha's wedding and she has seen ishwari's reaction...dev and sona need to know that being in love although gvs them the right to trust each other they cant expect the same from a third person since they hv so far kept their relationship a secret...
and ishwari...she saying that noone except her can touch his personal things sounded so eerie to me...there is a limit to be possessive and saying out loud that only me (and not even his sisters) hv the right to his personal space...ishwari's character is taking her true shape now and it remains to be seen how dev and sona handle this...
they may be wrong in not saying the truth to her but at the same time they especially dev has a very innocent heart but unfortunately he is now in a precarious position going with ishwari's strong (and unjust) obsession with her son...
in the final scene i did not expect sona to tell dev about wat hapend with her and ishwari but at least she cud hv told dev not to make her do such things that will make ishwari suspicious at least not till the day he decides to confess about his love to his mom...but nywys i loved their scene as usual...although dev has earlier almost blamed the timing of his love life for not spending enuf time with neha he cudnt still let sona blame herself for his business loss...he does not want to believe that sona influenced him to fall in love as he said that falling his love was just not a decision but he is lucky to fall in love with her...yes...these two r lucky to hv each other...
for dev love hapned not for the reason that sona is someone special but for dev love hapnd because sona makes him feel special...
p.s. i guess i missed something...sona saying she wants to tell him everything about herself and dev asking why and sona saying because i am urs...that was actually so beautiful...they make it sound so natural and i loved that smile of dev...the way dev has started sharing every little emotion with her it is natural that sona will reciprocate in the same way...i always feel love shud be widout barriers and dev actually has taken this concept a notch higher...
