Thanks everyone who liked my analyses!It's so great being back "home"😃

And especially @Deepuuu🤗Thanks for the warmest of welcomes. It feels good to be missed so much!Since DQ and you are sooo innocent, I don't want to corrupt your minds with my GM thoughts.😳

Then again, hand-tying, blindfolds, and wet, transparent ti-shirts speak for themselves, no?😈

I loved yesterday's epiosde. I can't deny that logic went to DQ's bhaad to get some oil, but since I never watched this show for logic in the first place, seven murders are forgiven (XGKB might be rubbing off on me a little bit). Here are some observations.

First of all, Ishwari being supportive and hands-off? What parallel universe are we living in?😲This was my initial reaction to her gentle guidance and genuinely helpful advice so I thought a lot about it. The way I see it, Soha dancing in the rain is precisely the kind of careless, childish behaviour she wanted to see in her grandchild. In her school of thinking, parents should be the ones to take care of the consequences and kids should just be allowed to do whatever they want. She was not able to be that kind of parent for Dev, and so she delights in helping him be there in that capacity for Soha. I also liked that they are showing Dev making mistakes -- he is learning after all, and Ishwari's advice that parents learn with their children was very well placed, as many of you have pointed out.

Again, I thought the kaadha was very symbolic. Ishwari was an excellent parent to Dev when he was a small child. She gave him all the necessary tools to make something of himself while maintaining his integrity and being very grounded. Even in success, she never forgot where they came from, and on on occasions of great celebration (like Diwali), made sure to remember those less fortunate. Dev got a lot of his best qualities from her. It was only in the transition from parenting a child to parenting an adult that Ishwari failed. Her "kaadha" no longer worked on an adult Dev, who needed what Sona could give him to be cured of his "illnesses," but Ishwari's expertise was still perfectly suited to cure a baby Soha. This moment made her skills relevant again... Dev really needed her help, and that is when Ishwari sheds her insecurities and really shines as the compassionate and wise character we first encountered. If only she could have seen how much Dev would always need her guidance, and set him free to explore his relationship with Sona in the confidence that she would always be his emotional anchor. she could have spared herself so much pain and distance.

I've always been a huge fan of Erica's comic timing, and got a glimpse of it yesterday after a long time! I loved the scene when she snuck into the kitchen and drank the kaadha. Her furtive looks and retain to the taste were absolutely adorable!😆This is exactly the kind of scene I was hoping to see more of, little moments that show us the quirky Sona we knew and loved! Accepting that Dev is still the answer to her "illness" is bitter indeed but necessary for Sona to be cured. For now she has admitted the notion only in her own mind, making sure that nobody else could see, but it's an important start. Bijoy preaches that anyone who makes you question yourself is wrong for you; today, Sona questioned the medicine she got from the doctor and tried another way...

These two, I tell you.☺️They didn't even realise it was raining when they were gazing into each other's eyes. It reminded me of Sona's dialogue, "baarish aaye ya na aaye; aap aayenge to mann khud hi bheeg jayega." Little Soha had to come and remind them that there is world outside, in which, yes, it is actually raining; the rain is not just in their hearts and minds after a 7-year drought.😉

This camp is basically building the foundation of what Sona and Dev will have to fight for on their return to Delhi; it's the calm before the storm. Dev is beginning to understand that his family is here, and if only he chooses to fight for it, it's not too late to have everything he dreamed of. The ice-fortress that Sona had built around her personal feelings as a woman, is slowly thawing with proximity to the only man who ever touched that part of her soul. It will refreeze on return to Delhi, but as all ice-cream lovers know, it's never the same once it's melted.😆

Finally, I like they way they are using KKHH. It reminds me of how they invoked things like Pride and Prejudice and Devdas, only this one is on Soha's level, so it's a bit more literal. Promises on this show are made to be broken, and it's no different for Sona's promise to Bijoy that Soha will accept her parents separation without question. It's natural for a little child to want her parents together, and I would be surprised if Soha didn't feel this way at least at first. Of course, it's a different matter that this is not always possible, and I am interested to see how Sona and Dev deal with this complication when it crops up.

Lovely analysis. I love characters that change either to better themselves or to accept their follies and become better individuals. Taking that into account, the Creatives could be on the right track. But a heart-to-heart convo between the leads is important, if they show Dev-Sonakshi patching up. It shouldn't be an emergency situation like 'Humsafar' where the child is sick etc. But I liked the character of Khirad where she speaks her mind and where Ashar apologises for his mistakes. Love has no ego. If two individuals love each other immensely, accepting mistakes is no crime and cannot belittle one in front of the other. So, while Dev accepts his folly, Sonakshi also needs to accept that she ran away too quickly and gave her family more importance than Dev, knowing fully well that she could have displayed more sensibility while handling such delicate situations!!
