Hi Friends,
Since our normal updater could not update, I have , for your convinience, collected both of yesterdays udpates in this thread .
1-courtesy niki 79
Daksha walks in with Baa.
"I can't believe no-one remembered Dada's titthi (death day)."
Baa: "Did you remember?"
D: "Yes, and I also put a garland..." She points to the picture but there's no garland. They're shocked.
Daksha: "One of the kids must have stolen it." (Pretty jobless kids, huh?)
Tripti comes. "Baa, come see the food arrangements for the Barsi."
They go to the kitchen but just then Damini walks in talking about some American clients that are supposed to be coming. Tanya says they're coming tonight for dinner. The two talk about how the clients have been invited to Shanti Niketan, a thing that's never been done before, because it is such a big deal, worth crores. They are oblivious to Baa's presence and unpack some meat at the counter where Baa is standing, at which Baa is really shocked and upset.
Baa: "Why meat is being cooked in SN? And you've kept it near the Barsi food."
Tanya kind of rolls her eyes. But she answers nicely enough.
"Sorry, Baa but it's because the clients are American."
Damini:"Baa, do one thing. Move the Shraad ka khana somewhere else so it won't get impure."
Baa is very upset.
Pooja scene: Baa is all by herself doing the Pooja with the pundit who tells her to feed the food, which is on a leaf, to the crows. Eklavya walks by and stops on seeing her.
Eklavya: "Baa, what is all this is?"
Baa: "The Shraad food has to be fed to the crows."
Eklavya: "If the clients see this their appetite might die. Do one thing, move the food to the back of the house so the guests don't see it." (The jerk.)
He tells Bhoomi who is passing to move the food and leaves. As she picks it up, some of it falls down.
Baa (in tears): "what did you do, Bhoomi? This was Shraad ka khana."
Bhoomi: "Baa, I didn't know it was there for a particular reason. Anyway, you know I've never picked up anything kept on a leaf before. I'll do one thing, I'll send a servant to clean it."
She walks away, dusting herslf and making Bhoomi-like noises of disgust. Baa cries. Just then, a dog comes and eats the food. Baa begs forgiveness of God.

She walks away, dusting herslf and making Bhoomi-like noises of disgust. Baa cries. Just then, a dog comes and eats the food. Baa begs forgiveness of God.
Upstairs, Baa sees Mohini and stops her.
"Mohini, I've been trying to do Pooja for Babuji."
Mohini: "Umm, go to Mihir papa's room and do your pooja there."
Baa: "You'll come, won't you?"
Mohini gets all awkward. "I have some work, I'll finish it and definitely come."
The party starts with all guests coming in. Damini and Tanya are wondering why the American clients haven't come as yet. Tripti is cribbing to Sahil as usual about being left out of everything because they have no money and status in the house. Bhoomi (with Joydeep trailing after her like a lost lamb) congratulates Abhir on decorating the house (she puts a hand casually on his arm and Abhir glances at her hand! What is that all about?!! 😕) Archita walks up and asks Abhir how she looks. He looks all lovingly at her and says gorgeous and hugs her but then gives an evil grin to Bhoomi over Archita's shoulder who also smiles. (Oh gosh! Poor Archita. )
Eklavya asks KT if she'll drink anything (he seems drunk) and she nods slowly.
E, calling out: "Laksh? Where's Laksh?" KT looks shocked and upset.
Laksh turns around.
Eklavya: "Bring something for KT to drink."
Laksh: "Me?"
Eklavya: "Then you want me to go? So you can sit her with my wife and..you know what I mean."
Laksh and KT both looks hang-dog (not even angry. Wimps!)
Daksha offers an American some Dhokla. (And is compelled to point out that it's being served in a silver plate. Like..whatever.) He says it looks heavy but she says something about it being made of ghee. Tanya is amused but Ekalvya looks disgusted and annoyed. Total faltoo supposedly-funny scene. Please, spare us!
Some of the Americans ask Eklavya if he's made the arrangements, he says yes. Karan asks him what arrangements and Eklavya says that they had heard about mujras from somewhere and they made a demand so I said yes.
Some of the Americans ask Eklavya if he's made the arrangements, he says yes. Karan asks him what arrangements and Eklavya says that they had heard about mujras from somewhere and they made a demand so I said yes.
Karan is shocked. "You didn't even ask us once." Even Damini and Tanya are shocked.
Damini: "Such a thing has never happened in SN before."
Eklayva: "Mom, relax. Has a 50-million dollar deal happened in SN before? Such performances are common now in parties."
Karan: "You still should have thought that all family members are present here. If Baa and Papa come to know...."
Eklavya: "It's too late now" He points to the door where a dancer is posing. Music starts. Sorry, cldn't see who the dancer was.
Almost everyone looks upset except for Eklavya. Abhir and Bhoomi look at each other briefly. Upstairs they show Mihir and Baa praying. Then Mihir yells out "Tulsi". They show a woman standing near a window in shadows, in a hospital gown.
Mihir: "Can you see me and Baa today?"
They show Gautami's eyes and her thinking "I know Mihir needs me."
Mihir:"Your house, your family, your SN is breaking apart." (Ok, I think we got beyond that point far before meat was cooked on the day of Babuji's Barsi, like...oh, when your grand-son and Bahus plotted your wife's downfall. But whatever you say.)
Gautami, thinking: "I know that SN still needs me. When I think of what happened I get very angry but when I remember that they're my own people every bad memory is forgotten." (WHAT?? Oh, COME ON!!)
The dance continues at SN. Mihir comes down where guests are tossing money at the dancers, and everyone else is looking very uncomfortable, again except for Eklavya.
Mihir yells "Stop all this." Everyone is shocked. Mihir: "Who gave permission to do all this at home?"
Eklavya (who is pretty drunk) gets up. "You are misunderstanding, dadu."
Mihir: "I can see and I'm perfectly understanding what is going on here. Today SN is hosting a mujra. SN was built by Baa, Papa and Tulsi but you all are destroying it by opening the doors to dancers like this."
Looking at Karan, "I can see you Karan, who's completely forgotten what your mother taught you. I can see the bahus who as soon as you got the keys to the house have turned it over to ...errr..women of the streets. I can see all the people who don't know the difference b/w a house and a bazaar."
He looks at Daksha. "All of them are young, but what abt you? Have you completely forgotten the principles of this house?" Daksha looks guilty. "You all disgust me."
Eklavya looks like he couldn't care less. Everyone else looks ashamed. Mihir: "Karan, is there anything else left for me to see?"
One of the Americans says why are you spoiling my party?
Mihir: "I'm not spoiling anything, you're spoiling my house, my children. It's your fault I'm seeing this nonsense today. All of you, get out." (Okayyy, a little unfair to the American. But I'm glad he stood up and said something atleast. Go, Mihir!)
Mihir apologizes to Karan. "Sorry, Karan. Today I spoiled another one of your deals. But it's better not to have deal with people who make such demands. Always remember that."
He warns everyone else not to spoil the environment that Tulsi has built so carefully. He turns away but then Eklavya starts his nonsense so he stops.
Eklavya: "Why shld we feel bad, dadu? What have we lost? Only 50-million dollars. WHat is this amount for us? And if I remember correctly, because of these principles of yours, over the past few months we've lost several such deals. But what difference does this make, right? Why don't you understand that all these principles of your's are outdated?
Karan tries to make him stop but Eklavya says let me talk today. "All these ideals of yours are hollow. We can't progress like this. You spoilt such a big deal. You know Chachu, when we have kids we will have to tell them that we had a dadaji who was our raaste ki rukaavat and he didn't led us go forward."
All the while Mihir is just watching him coldly.
Eklavya: "Can you replace this loss? If not, then why are you standing there ruining the party for us, wearing kurta pyjama?"
Mihir: "within the traditions/boundaries of SN I'll do what I can."
Eklavya: "Ok, stay within these traditions of SN and from Tulsi dadi's will, give everyone their share of the property."
Mihir is shocked and everyone else is upset.
Mihir: "That's impossible."
Eklavya: "I knew you'd say this but what about the loss we took just now? This money is all our's. So hand over all the money to us. Or else..."
Mihir: "Or else what?"
Tripti decides to add her 2-cents worth.
Tripti: "Or we'll go to court."
Mihir: "For a few Rs. you'll go to the court?"
Tripti: "There's no other raasta left, right? If you don't get your right by asking you have to fight for it. I don't understand why you're so fond of the money that you won't give it up even for your children's bhalayi."
Mihir (looking upset): "The money is not mine. The money is Tulsi's."
Eklavya: "Why don't you forget Tulsi? She's dead."
Mihir looks shattered.
Gautami is shown standing near the window, thinking "Mihir, I'm coming back."

Update 2 - courtest Punky.
It's baa's husband's shrad today and no one seems to remember. Baa is hurt, she gets disappointed by everyone even eklavya. Mohini tells baa to got to Mihir's room. Mihir and baa discuss how times have changed and how the youth of SN doesnt respect it's elders anymore.
Meanwhile, Eklavya finalises some deal with some skinny foreigners and he decides to throw a party in SN.He's DRUNK!! he makes his way towards Kt and sits besides her.
EK : you want something to drink?
Kt: *shook her head*
Ek: Lakshya!
He calls lakshya and tells him to bring Kt a drink, lakshya is confused.
EK: who else then? me? you want me to get Kt a drink so you might sit with my wife and enjoy yourself?
Kt and Lakshya are saddened by Eklavya's behaviour.
The skinny foreigners demand a dance performance and an inebriated Eklavya happily agrees to it. Some woman dresses in red comes and dances to the song 'Bidi' from 'omkara' Eklavya has a drink in his hand and sways in delight while the elders watch with disgust with their gazez lowered.
They show the new Tulsi, onlly her eyes, she says: "I know Mihir needs me, i know Sn needs me, what's done is done, the fact that my family needs me makes me forget all that has happened to me"
Mihir comes downstairs and yells at everyone: What is happening? end all of this at once? who permitted for this to happen? who??
eveyone's shocked. Eklavya's still standing there, swaying.
Mihir: I see now how you people have become after Tulsi's death! I see now how the daughter in laws of this house have let prostitutes enter this sacred place! he yammers on and scolds everyone.
Skinny foreigner: why are you spoiling our party??
Mihir: I'm not spoiling your party you are spoiling my children GET OUTTA MY HOUSE!! he shoos them away.
Eklavya starts misbehaving with Mihir, he yells at him for making him lose 50 million dollars, everyone watches in surprise. He demands money from Tulsi's will to be divided equally among eveyone, Tripti adds afew insulting sentences to that.
Mihir mentions how Tulsi had once made this place heaven. eklavya interrupts Mihir and tells him to forget Tulsi as she has died. Mihir and the rest of the family are shocked! Epi ends on the new Tulsi's face who says: I'm coming back Mihir!
COMMENTS:
The epi was okay, better than what had been going on for the past 2 weeks! yey Tulsi's coming BACK for revenge! Kt and Lakshya should stop being losers and should DO something!!

Thanks for the update guys-usually, we trash all random updates, but had we trashed these there would have been no update at all. I request the normal updaters to please plan a bit more in advance, so that such confusions do not occus.
