points to ponder, 24 apr

* hmm, i'm a little amazed actually - most of the characters did pretty much what i'd have expected them to do in this episode! amazing, or what??! 😆

- bhoomi stayed focussed on nailing damned-ini as the real criminal 👏
- tulsi-d was speechless and didn't slap mayank! 👏 'course, it's another matter altogether that she was speechless about damned-ini too - i thought she'd have at least given her a tongue lashing...
- tanya was the blazing avenging mom 👏
- lakshya didn't touch mayank; 👏 lakshya took manthan's slap without flinching.
- manthan acted jeuvenile - cheap and infinitely relieved and on an avenging himself track! 😆
- eklavya stayed focussed on whatever track he has running in his head... 😕 i'm beginning to think that his sole object is kt, partly to thumb tulsi-d's ego, mostly just for himself and the memory of his "lonely" dad.
- all the adult males acted dumb. although i must given karan a thumb-up for trying to stop tanya. 👍🏼

* what i didn't like: kt freaked out - loudly! argh! i keep telling myself "she's been assaulted. she's at a delicate point in her life. she doesn't know what she's doing" mayank's not mad - that's just bhoomi's term for him. but kt decided to run with it. repeat after me "she's been assaulted. she's at a delicate point in her life. she doesn't know what she's doing..."

* but ganga-mom?? i was taken aback. are there some relationships in this show that are going to show up stronger than those of blood-ties??

same goes for lakshya - wonder what his reaction to nakul's damned-ini's-my-mom statement? nakul's admitted that he took his blood relationship above his life relationship with lakshya - will lakshya turn out ganga-mom's son? 😍

* must admit though. i kept thinking darn it! why couldn't ganga-mom have done this after damned-ini had been thrown in the streets with a footprint on her behind??! darn it!!! 😆

* even after multiple "i hate lakshya"s, when he wants to get something done, mayank pleads to lakshya??? "stop kt from crying, lakshya". "stop chachi from locking mama in a room, lakshya". is it because mayank no longer has anyone close that he can trust -- ie, mama, nakul bhaiyya?

argh! this show is screwing with my head!

* as expected, manthan's blazing after nakul not knowing nakul's aim was not destroying manthan, but saving mayank.

little, brainless manthan - what really had me 🤣 was how he was bashing while he was demanding why, why, why? idiot. thank goodness he's an entertaining idiot and not a boring idiot like kt.

* so, questions:
- what are they going to do with mayank?
- who else thinks that eklavya's not as innocent about kt's assault as we all think he is? 😕
- who else thinks that kt's going to marry eklavya, happily and willingly? 😕 who else thinks that eklavya's not going to be ansh?
- who else wonders when and not whether tulsi-d's headed back to haridwar?
- who else is waiting for the ganga-mom-nakul session and a ganga-mom-lakshya session?

for several reasons, i'm at peace with this show thanks to 24th april.
the last many episodes have been torturing us about how blood-ties and blood-relationships win over family ties and family relationships (bhoomi in karan vs. ansh, nakul in ganga vs. damned-ini, eklavya in eklavya vs. ansh). if the scriptwriters were smart, the next set of episodes will be about how family ties and relationships ultimately win (ganga with damned-ini vs. nakul, nakul gets lakshya despite mayank, eklavya remaing eklavya despite the ansh past and hopefully without snarfing kt) over blood ties.

hey, we can dream, na?! 😆 and yes, there are sweet things today. 😆

ahh i did think whether this eku is now acting or what!! what will they do with mayank thats the big question...cuz even if not as a punishment he does need to go to an asylum!! he has become uncontrollable!

ya, since damned-ini mom herself had mayank hospitalised, there can't be an argument about his going for some psychiatric care, i hope!

is funny though, no? at the end, the only thing that damned-ini mom did this entire drama for seemed to be so that mayank will not get slapped! 'cause he really ought to be taken out of this home of his. maybe damned-ini can use this as an excuse to leave the house as well? that should cool tanya-mom's head a little bit...

lolz funny...damini did all this initially cuz she didnt want mayank to be sent to an asylum but she herself tuk him 2 1....y cant se understand that sending him there will be benificial for him...

n yah i dont understand y this kt n lakhya r even a couple! like kt said "yah he isnt here"...seriously shoudnt lakhya have gone to kt atleast once!! i guess it is gonna be eku n kt in the end...n eku staying +ve

well..said it b4..and sticking with it...its def. going to be KT & Eklavya at the end...they're gonna get married... and i think it will be KT's own choice to marry him...

Every person has a negative & positive side in them...and Eklavya has that too...he was & is still a nice person.. but he's not showing it because of what everyone did... if ever KT & Eklavya will get married...Eku will def. make a very good husband..a husband which every girl wants.. nice & caring...he'll never be ansh...(i hope they'll not get married coz' i really dont like KT.. but by looking at it..its seem to be going this way)...

"Eklavya is only inside Eklavya; Ansh is just in the outside"...

as for mayank....well...dont really know wants gonna happen....

i was just wondering..what if Eklavya found out that it was Mayank who raped KT?..If he knew, i think he wud take the blame on him...they cud have done that ryt?..i guess they didnt coz' we wud not see Ansh in Eku...that's what they wanted us to see..Eku turning into Ansh...which i think can never happen...

Ha, Ha, Manthan was really funny in the bashing up scene. He acts like a snooty little kid yaar.🤣 I hope they give Manthan a bigger track from now on, he is infinitely more fun than KT and her rona-dhona. Please Ekta, give Manthan a snooty little girlfriend to fight with and we can have some decent comic relief in the show (instead of Daksha Dadi and her grandsons). Whats more, he's also great eye-candy.☺️

i always find it rather funny that these days the lakshya - who was always hanging around kt in the early days - is rarely around when she is in distress. or doesn't follow her when she runs off somewhere in distress. certainly, this episode was one of those troublesome times when he could've gone after her, but chose not to. 😕

i remember one of the sweetest moments on the show was when he promised her solemnly that whenever she was in trouble, all she had to do was call his name (or some such bilge) and he would be there. either kt's not calling lakshya much 😆, or his spidey senses abiout when kt's in trouble are off.

in this episode, i thought it was actually fitting that lakshya did go looking for nakul. after all, this is the closest and oldest relationship that he has, even probably before his relationship with baa? certainly before kt.

still... 🤔

that's what they wanted us to see..Eku turning into Ansh...which i think can never happen...

couple of things:
* it could be eklavya-kt, especially given the focussed way he's going after her.

i think that this'd be wrong by my book, if my book ruled. 😆 'cause i found the whole reason for eklavya "falling in love" with kt superficial. eklavya had never interacted with women before. one girl is nice to him, once, and he imagines that they are a match made in heaven.

okay, one has the right to dream. but from that, he built it up into a heavenly world, where even after he finds out about lakshya, he never reconciles to it. mho, such things are unhealthy. i believe in "love ever after" but not so much in love at first sight, or first reason, i guess.

and even before the entire sexual assault stunt, eklavya was obsessing. but at that stage, he was eklavya pundit. he had an image to protect, a reason for wanting to be white. after the assault accusation, it was easy for eklavya to fight for kt out in the open.

my curiosity goes like this: if that stoopid assault instance hadn't happened, would eklavya have remained calm when lakshya-kt progressed towards marriage, or would he have been scheming to get it off track? my understanding is that he would have been .. still obsessing, and maybe scheming. but in a nicer way.

* if they do get wed, will he be nice? i think he'll be nice to kt. i think he'd use it to the hilt to torture tulsi-daadi now.

* i have a problem in that i keep thinking that eklavya did have something to do with kt getting assaulted. there was an entire sequence after eklavya was brought out of jail when kt was jittery as hell 'cause she was sure that eklavya had something to do with it. maybe it was because she always found him around when she was getting spooked.

but just as i find it amazing that kt didn't have a bad sense about mayank, i think there was some truth to her having felt that there was something wrong about eklavya in the beginning. i think he did have something to do with her assault. and it won't change how he will behave with her after they are married - even though he was burning at the time when he promised vengence against her.

of course, the poophead scriptwriters in charge of this show can forget that they ever showed any of the stuff that i've described above, just as cleanly as they've forgotten that bhoomi is supposed to be pregnant. 😆 but i think there's something fishy about eklavya just now.

* about eklavya turning into ansh, i think he'll not become ansh. i agree with your characterisation: ansh on the outside, but eklavya on the inside, ie, just ansh-ish. 😆

oooh, manthan+snooty-girlfriend and with a dash of daksha! ooooooh, that would be sooo cool!

seriously, i think some of the best moments have been when manthan/bhoomi have scenes with daksha-c. 😆 love 'em! 😆

speaking of manthan as eye-candy: did you ever catch kyph at the beginning of the show? ie, when prithvi had come first come in?
o m g! he wasn't built and so stocky. so you could see those pretty black eyes with those terrifically long eye-lashes all standing out in prominence -- oooh! now that was eye-candy, any which way you looked at it! 😆

Yeah Amit was cool in KYPH. He hasn't had much of a role in Kyunki so far, I hope he gets more screen space. 😊
