Recap:
Tulsi is crying and is shocked, she asks Savita, whether a mother is a burden on her children. Tulsi says that she will make sure that she gets the best treatment. Savita doesn't say anything. The doctor tells Tulsi that your mother won't be back to normal. She will stay alive but in the hospital but on a life support system. Mihir tells Karan, you know your mother, she shares happiness with everyone but when it comes to moments of sorrow she tends to take it all on her own, never bothers to share the pain. Karan tells Tanya that I have made a decision, I will go back to Mumbai and bring Ma back. Tulsi is crying, and it is shown as if she is talking to God, she is yelling where is the brightness, wherever I look, I find darkness. How long are you are going to test me, how long?
Now the episode begins:
In the beginning they show some clips of London city that lasted around 30 seconds. Lol.
The next scene is where Ba is talking on the phone with someone. Ba is asking that person how are they doing? How is everything back home? And the usual stuff. She hangs up. Mihir sees her hanging up and thinks that it is Tulsi, he says why didn't Tulsi call me, I haven't been in touch with her since I have come here. Ba smiles and says that she was talking to Shobha. Mihir asks Ba to call Shobha back, he forgot about shobha too, he says that through Shobha he will try to figure out what's going on with Tulsi and Ma. Ba says that Shobha is in Delhi at the moment, and she herself has no idea whats' going on back in Mumbai. Ba asks him but what's wrong you look worried. Mihir says that he doesn't know why but he thinks that Tulsi is mad at him for something, he doesn't know the reason. Ba is like Tulsi loves you a lot, she can never get mad at you. And if she commits a mistake, she doesn't hesitate to apologize, she asks Mihir not to worry, as Tulsi is not at all mad at him. Mihir is like may be you are right Ba, but first of all Tulsi has not called nor has there been any news about her. Mihir says that he is already worried about Savita, what if she doesn't return back home? Ba is like you said that the distance for a couple of days will bring them back together right? Well that might be the case, so when we go back to Mumbai, we will find Savita at the door. Mihir says, with the grace of Thakurji, hopefully this happens.
Next scene: Savita is crying in pain like crazy, the doctors and the nurse rush at her service. Tulsi enters and is shocked. The doctor says that now she is calmed down, since she has been given an injection. The doctor asks the nurse to make sure she gives her the the medications daily, every hour. (now that's a lot).
Savita is looking at Tulsi, Tulsi walks up to her. Savita asks her what happened Tulsi? You went to meet the big doctors, what did they say? Savita says that I told the doctor that I am dead, and not to torture me anymore. She asks Tulsi why doesn't she understand? She says both of us know that I won't be back to normal. TUlsi is like how come you lost hope so easily. Savita repeats that she won't be back to normal, why is tulsi giving herself and Savita false hopes. Tulsi is like Ma, whatever you asking me to is wrong, thing like this, doesn't not exist in our society, nobody will approve of this. She is like forget society, even God won't forgive me if I do this. It is a sin. Savita is like you love your mom na? then please free me of this pain, she helds her hand out and says mukti de!
Tulsi is shocked. I am too.
Then Savita just closes her eyes, and it looks like she is dead, Tulsi is terrified, she is like Ma, ma...ma! Savita with her eyes closed, repeats "mujhe mukti de"
Tulsi is tired and has no where to go. She cries and thinks about all those wonderful moments with Savita. (I am sure there were not many, hahaha).
Kyunki song plays in the background, heres the lyrics:
Kaun dagar jaoon koi batlaye
Kya mein karu samajh mein naa aaye
De na sakun jo tan
Kaise lu woh jeeva
Kashmakash ki hai yeh ghaddi.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmm lala la la.
Next scene:
Is a business dealing where all the men of the family, Mihir, Karan, Saahil, and Gautam are present. The dealing is somehow delayed due a revenue problem. The men come out of the conference room, and Saahil is like I told them to sign the contract. Mihir says the dealers are right, it will be stupid to sign the contract before the deal is final. Mihir asks her Karan to go and look this matter through tomorrow. Karan asks whether someone else can do this instead of him, mihir, sahil and gautam are surprised at this, since Karan never refused to do anything before. Mihir says that Saahil and Gautam have other things to take care of, and Mihir offers to join him at this task. Karan agrees reluctantly, Saahil notices this and asks him what was wrong. Gautam and Mihir have left at this point. Karan says nothing, he is just worried about Ma, and was going to go get her, but now this thing has come up. Saahil and Karan are both disappointed.
Next scene is probably the most important scene, since it gives Tulsi an idea as to choose to do the mercy killing or not.
Tulsi enters the mandir, where a prayer session is going on. The pandit ji is preaching about life and death. He talks about how life and death are the two sides of a coin. Death is not the end, but a beginning of a new life. The thing that dies is the body but not the soul. Tulsi is in deep thought. She is thinking about this intently. Everybody leaves. Tulsi sits in front of Panditji, she asks him. Panditji if life and death are the same thing then why does life seem so small in comparison to death? The pandit says, that a human fears death because to him, there is nothing after death, but in our Hindu shastra or teachings it says after life there is a whole new world, death is not a destination but a beginning of a new journey, the body dies but not the soul. Just like how a human changes his or her clothes or attitudes, a soul changes its body. (all this time Tulsi is thinking about Savita's love. ) Pandit says that death is the biggest truth in life, death is essential in life and it is inevitable. The fact that a human fears death is his misconception. We should give death the same respect as to birth. If life is connected with birth then freedom or salvation is connected with death. Remove the fear of death from your heart. Tulsi is thinking about this.
Next scene: It's the jail.
Nandini is carrying a bucket of water, while Mandira sees her and says Bahu rani! She asks her hows it going? Mandira asks the hawaldaar lady to give her a moment. Mandira is asking Nandu, how is her health, she is asking if she could help her out. Nandu is like whatever, leave me alone kind of a look on her face. Mandira continues with her bhashaan, she says that Nandini is so double standard, in Shantiniketan she used to get up early in the morning and touch the elder's feet and ask for blessing but now, her mother in law is standing right in front of her and she is not even acknowledging her. She is like you are a kid so I forgive you, now let me help you. Nandini holds her hand, Mandira is like nevermind, you do It yourself and she leaves saying over here no one should anyone, look what the world has come to. She is about to close her lock up. Nandini feels dizzy and then faints to the ground, Mandira rushes to her and asks the hawaldaar lady to get the doctor. Nandini is still unconscious , when she gets conscious she sees Mandira waving the fan at her giving her some air. She is shocked and wakes up. The doctor says that you are pregnant which calls for rest and advices her not to carry heavy stuff. Mandira says don't worry she will take care of her and smiles. Doctor asks her is she related to Nandu, Mandu is like haan, I am her mother in law and she is pregnant with my grandchild. The doctor leaves. Mandu tells nandu told take these small things seriously, just ask me for help and will do it. Nandu is fired up, she is like you offered to help me out earlier to, but I refused, didn't you understand then. If you are enthusiastic about doing community service go find someone else, coz I am not your daughter in law nor is my child your grandchild, you got that. Madnu retaliates by saying sweetheart I promise you, I will make sure that this grandchild calls me daadi. Nandu baby is shocked. Mandu is like if you need anything let me know. Mandu walks off.
Next scene:
Karan is trying to call someone. Tanya comes and says that she has packed his clothes up and the tickets will be available at the airport. Tanya asks him what's wrong your face says it all. Karan is like the whole plan is cancelled and is irritated that the revenue problem messed it all up and now he has to take care of that. Tanya is like don't worry I will go, Karan is like how can you in this condition, Tanya assures him by saying, I will go as I came, plus since Savita has left the home, Tulsi ma will be all alone, I am worried about her, I will go.
Next scene:
Mihir is trying to get in touch with Tulsi, but no one is picking the phone up. Mihir decides to call Meera JI, who he thinks will be at the office. The phone keeps on ringing and meera keeps on thinking, that Mihir will ask her about Tulsi and Savita, what will she say, Meera then thinks that Mihir must have got to know the truth, which is why he called to yell at me, which is why she doesn't pick up the phone. Mihir leaves a message saying call me back if u bet Savita, and ask tulsi to call me back.
Next scene:
Mandu and meera are talking, Mandu is confused as to how come Mihir didn't get to know the truth. Meera is like may be he didn't get in touch with TUlsi yet. Mandira asks her what she say to him. Meera says she didn't answer the phone coz she feared that Mihir will ask her something about the accident. Mandu is like so Mihir is not getting in touch with Tulsi, which also means that Tulsi is not calling Mihir either. So basically Tulsi didn't tell the family members about this, coz if she would have then all the family members would have been in Mumbai, not in London, attenting a wedding. This is strange. Mandu is like there is a positive side to it, since they don't know about the accident they don't know about who did it either. Meera yells at her saying there is no positive side it to MANDIRA, once Mihir and Tulsi get in touch they will know the truth, Mandu says by then it will be too late, she is teasing meera. Meera is lying stop doing this and just tell me about the next plan. Mandu is like just keep an eye on TUlsi and you will figure it out yourself, trust me. Mandira is like fine.
Next scene:
Lord Krishna's idol is in front of Tulsi, she is talking to him. She says till today I have fought every obstacle that has come my way. But now the storm or obstacle in front me is beyond what I can fight, I have no strength. On one hand I can't see Ma's pain and on the other hand I can't keep the promise that I made to MA. Why did you bring to this situation, God, why are you testing me to this extent. Show me the way, Thakurji. I am tired of fighting alone, give me some clue. Then the diya blows off, Tulsi is shocked. her image turns to black and white, as this is an indication saying kill her. This scene scared me. Seriously.
The End.
I know it is long, but I am just making sure I don't leave out any details. Overall this episode was good, I would rate it a 8.5/10 . Tulsi was amazing, Mandu was funny. It was sad too. Hope you enjoyed it. I am sorry if I bored you.
Love,
Sam.
