* wah! a manthan-daksha-daadi encounter! although there wasn't as much spark in it as usual....
* urk. a bachelor party. with all the related urk-y-ness of a bachelor party and more, 'cause this one has all the adult males as well! i thought only the groom and his friends did bachelor parties?
and did no-one think to ask what eklavya-pundit is doing setting up a bachelor party? does no-one else want to question where this new worldliness of eklavya is coming from? he used to do only pooja and aarthi!
* lakshya should seriously question whether he wants to depend so much on the charity-of-others that he claims to be so uncomfortable about. or are we to assume that being the beneficiary of charity, he feels he is not in a position to refuse? đ
why can't he be more like bhoomi?? or like he used to be?
* okay, tulsi-daadi seriously needs to take a chill pill on her reactions. even in her thoughts she is now sounding hysterical and dramatic. đ i do hope her actions are not going to suit her thoughts!
* i was cheering at what looked like the return of old-lakshya at the cool way he brushed off manthan's first attempts to get him to drink.
but then manthan hit on the fatal weak spot in lakshya's character: the fair name of kt. sigh. how many ways can lakshya be a total idiot about a girl? double sigh.
* another developing fatal weak spot is his new-found, apparently unquestionning belief that eklavya can do no wrong. so now it's eklavya-see lakshya-do? or rather, eklavya-drink lakshya-drink too?
but i must say the plot to draw in lakshya was masterful. manthan used all the right triggers: first, a challenge in kt's name. and then, a challenge for who loves kt more. i loved the look that came over lakshya's face when manthan said eklavya loves kt more.
of course, sitting in the audience, hearing eklavya say "manthan" in that big-brother admonishing way, and then manthan piling on the insults: who else was shaking their heads and clutching their hair, going "oh no, he's going to buy their taunts, he's going to buy their taunts."?
* so who else wanted to hit lakshya on the head and say: manthan's using you, you dolt! when manthan brought up eklavya's love for kt, lakshya should've smelt a fish! from a long way away!
* who else is wondering what the heck manthan was grinning so evilly about while holding a tape-recorder??! is that manthan grinning 'cause he is an idiot, or 'cause he has accomplished what eklavya's told him to do?
* of all the times to have vanished! where is nakul when lakshya really needed him??! or sahil-chachu for that matter? or don't tell me even the bachelor party had two sections: one for the haves and one for the have-nots?
* in any case, it looks like lakshya certainly has his first step put firmly into the eklavya-setup-poop-puddle. i wonder what disaster's going to drop on his delectable little head...
ya, today, i'm gonna be waiting and watching. for the update - 'cause i think i'm too much of a coward to find out by directly seeing the show. đ
