HI swapno,
I normally agree with your views but sorry dear I have to disagree today...
I think this episode was very much needed...it was one of those episodes that layed the foundation for whats to come...
I will start with Dev and Sona- A clear indication as to what they mean to each other-the need, the restlessness, the moments spent at the end of the day together ... so far are enough... but not for long...FOunddaton 1-the relattionship has laid its foundation and nothing can now change that.
Dev and Ishwari-a typical mother remembering the old days with her son. Mother's do that- not just with sons' but with daughters too...but Ishwari was not remembering them fondly-she wasnted to remind Dev- as to how he was...in her mind she she has put Dev into set boxes depending on what the need of the hour is...her son, her caretaker, the provider for the family, the descision maker for all other except himself...the one to shoulder all responsibilities and look after other and their needs- but have none himself. Ishwari has again and again said the same thing in different way-the CVs have conveyed to us very very subtely...As long as Dev's happiness is associated with Ishwari all is right in her world... but once its because of someone else... its not right. I think teh CVs have given us an indiacation of the same on the new promo-that is Ishwari's time to share. There has to be a reason for these insecurites,... time will infold them...
This was foundation 2...She cannot let go...I think this stems from the little snipet was were shown about Dev's teacher asking his parents to leave as there wont be much enough place for all to stay together once he gets married. And Dev says I wont get married because "you dont have a village to go to". She never explained anything to him...but took his words to heart hence when Natasha's proposal came-she asked Dev to decide as either way it would affect his buiness and buisness equated to money and money (lack of it) equates to misery.
A very convluted equation.
Ishwari and Neha
Neha- a burden- needs to be married off as soon as.
Neha - a caretaker for the other kids
Neha- because a girl no acknowledgement to all what she has done
Neha-visiting -no acknowledgement of even her presence.
The wedding dress - very sympolic -to show as far as Ishwari is concerned as its the norm.. Neha has to wear it. She doesnt have the time and patience to explain it all to Neha- because she never has. this is what Neha has to do and this is what she does.
GKB at least knows Neha better that her own mother does.
And now so does Sona.
Though not much of age difference between Dev and Neha- all decision regarding family are Dev's, Neha not consulted. It is rather starnge that when there is no one to rock the Ishwari's boat in which she and Dev are sitting...she is able to ackowledge others around including Neha-to send her to study etc...but the moment the boat is rocked...she does everything in her power to steady it and make sure Dev stays with her...and No one else... Foundation 3.
And this is what we will see in the upcoming episodes.
DEV and his sisters... their happiness is paramount to him... he will go to any leghts to make sure they are happy...he will even hide his innermost feelings to do that...he acknowledged Neha.. He spoke to her...Again and again Dev has shown how much Neha means to him-Dev, Nikki, and Ria and GKB who actually know and understand the sacrifices Neha has made,,,,
Even is Ishwari deep down does acknowledge them... she refuses to accept it. Acceptence on her part is impossible...Brother and sister--Foudnation 4
The Bose family- perfefct not really--- nobody can be perfect... but they know each other ... they acknowledge each other... they know each other well enough to understand that each and every person requires their space...they help each other when in pain...like Sona said... her mother taught her to smile in pain too...she said that to Ishwari-if only Ishwari has actually heard it and understood it...Foundation 5---Sona is heading towards a heartbreak and she will smile through it... and I think she will give strenght to Dev to live through that pain.
Ishwari-Dev and Sona...Even Sona's presence is enough to wipe the smile off Ishwari's face...as seen yesterday. Her complement was not accepted and neither where her question...hence the curt reply...and teh enxt sentence and after thought due to Dev's presence-Ishwari has to be perfect in Dev's eyes. More than Sona, Dev was taken aback...
Ishwari cant hide her dislike towards Sona anymore...this was the second time...Foundation 6.
propably this is what will happen even after Ishwari acknowledges the relationship...but for how long...it what we have to wait and watch,...when will Dev and how will Dev put a stop to it all...
the start of the separation starts tonight-Ishwari has heard Sona asking Dev to drop her...now will she let him or make sure he doesnt...or tell Sona to leave as its time for herr to go...
I am going to cry buckets in the coming weeks...but its such a beautiful show that i cant stop watching...
Sorry Swapno...a very long reply... but once I got started ...I couldnt stop...
Hope no hard feelings... it was just I felt it was a good episode...kuch rang aisw bhi!!!
Have a good day.
