Things I Noticed - 09/08/10

• The episode started off with Kishore blasting Kala - I know he is doing the right thing and I should support him with sincerity but his vibrating-with-anger "AIK BHI mauka nahi chora! AIK BHI!" had me in splits! 🤣🤣🤣 I am so used to Kishore being calm yet lethal that this outburst had me do a double take and then laugh like an idiot!
  

• Okay. It might just be me here but when Baji was telling Dutta about Kala's behavior towards Nakku, I felt that he was more concerned with making sense of Nakku's behavior and subsequently pacifying Dutta's concerns as opposed to standing up against Kala. Everything he said about Kala being all "taana-mar"-esque towards Nakku was because he presumed that that's what caused Nakku's change of heart. He was going "against" Kala to support his Bhao just like Kishore was - and that I agree to! - but unlike Kishore (who was doing this to reveal Kala's truth and teach her a lesson), Baji was doing this to help Dutta understand Nakku's change of heart and to help him come to terms with it. *sigh* I mean, he didn't act vindictive towards Kalavati at all - the scope of his comments about her were limited to informing Dutta about the mean nature of her comments to Nakku - ONLY so Dutta could understand that the intensity of those "taanas" had send Nakku away. Not to say that Kalavati was wrong in doing so - but he didn't say that she was right either. He sort of reserved his comments there - he didn't pass judgment on Kala at that time, didn't pronounce her right or wrong - evil or good. Instead he just took the fact and laid them in front of Dutta - his only concern was for Dutta's well being. And nothing else. *sigh* Of course, all this could just be me being weird and in that case you are absolutely free to ignore my comments here.. 😆

• Did anyone else feel that Kala's "Baji" was a silent realization of her defeat? Up until now, every time she's been "defeated" by Nakku she's always been angry/upset/determined. She never accepted it and always thought of ways to come back from it stronger. When Dutta left to go save Nakku in spite of her asking him not too, she was worried, angry but never did she resign her self to that fact. She was always ready to fight and hope for the best. But this time, when she saw Baji speak against her she KNEW that this was it. Dutta implicitly trusts only a handful of people (Baji, Aayi Sahib, Nakku) and when one of them started to validate the allegations against her she knew she had lost this one for good. *sigh* And I know I should be happy about her loss, but damn it! She looked so vulnerable there.. *concerned muh* *realizes people are staring at her* .. Umm no! This is not my crush talking! *tries to look credible* 🤣

• *sigh* Dutta... How you amaze me with your reactions, you'll never understand. Every time I think I have your actions/reactions pinned, you surpass my expectations and do better! As soon as Dutta hears Baji validate Kishore's allegations towards Kala, the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit for him. He pulls in a sharp breath - as though the memory of HIS Nakku is enough to knock the wind out of him - and then as he begins to realize the "con" played by Kala, he forgets to breathe entirely. But instead of being heart broken or even angry (like several of us had been speculating for months now - about how he would react when he found out about Kala), he was spectacularly calm and rational - given the circumstances. Instead of being angry for being betrayed, his first thought is about Nakku - "So this is what drove her away!", he thinks. He doesn't go in a fit of rage - no, that reaction is reserved only for Nakku because only SHE has the right to upset him to that extend and only she has the luxury to see him that affected. No one else can rattle him like Nakku can, just like no one else could move him like she did. *sigh* Instead of being livid at being betrayed or confused at being wronged, he is worried about/hurt by the unfair treatment Nakku has had to put up with at the hands of his sister. Here's a man who's always felt too much and who's been affected by every betrayal in his life (Seema made him Bhao, Supriya made him an "animal" - if I dare quote him) but THIS betrayal doesn't even elicit a tiny "concerned for himself" gesture out of him. This time Nakku's involved, so THIS time EVERYTHING that matters is about her - her sentiments and her pain. *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* 😍

• Kala's taken a plunge from trying-to-manipulate-people-to-gain-power to trying-to-manipulate-her-own-stay-in-the-house. The first things that come out of Kala's mouth right after Baji's spoken (and Dutta too) are explanations - explanations for why she acted the way she did. And instead of being authoritative, this time they're just meek and almost like a plea. *sigh* Thank you CVs for a NORMAL, elegant villain! One who uses her brain and knows when she's lost - one who doesn't go on a rabid yelling spree (unless she's by herself and in extreme emotional distress). And one who learns from her mistakes and tries not to do the same. *looks at the CVs with affection* 😆

• *watches the scene* Wait, what..?!?!? *pauses* *rewinds* *hears it again* "Nakusha sey main pyaar karta hoon, usey tumsey ziyada janta hoon main!" OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! Was that..? No it can't be! But it was!! OMG! It was a confession!! I do not remember Dutta ever spelling out the fact that he loves Nakku - he's proposed around the idea, sung/dreamt songs around it and fantasized based on it - but he's never actually SAID it! Until now. (Of course, my memory could be losing me here and he might have already said it but I just don't remember it... In which case, this comment can be ignored) 😆

• Nakusha's concern came first - worry about her innocence being abused took precedence. But once that was done, his betrayal and the hurt it caused reared itself. He asks Kala if she's been pretending all along? The entire childhood was a farce?! And then he laughs - he laughs at the heartbreak this realization brings to him. The fact that his sister cared for him and thought of him as her own was a lie? *sigh* That is just brutal - an almost unbearable blow. The fact that his sister could even let ONE happiness fulfill his life - that didn't think he deserved even ONE happiness in his entire miserable (according to him) existence - leaves him broken. *sigh* I have younger siblings, so I am going to tell you right now - my heart broke, literally broke, when I heard Dutta say this. The amount of pain he was feeling - the sense of betrayal his elder sister had given him - if my younger sister ever comes and says something like this to me, I think my knees will cave in and I'll crumble to the floor. *sigh* I wish someone would just hug the guy and tell him he's loved!
  

• Alright, so this might just be me, but did anyone else feel that Dutta's reaction to Kala's betrayal was similar to his reaction to Seema's betrayal? *hears a murmur pass over the crowd* No, no! I am not talking about the popular "Greek Tragedy" theory that's running around these days. NO I meant, Seema hadn't understood Dutta's love and had spurned it away. Similarly Kala had failed to understand sentiments for Nakku and had created circumstances that allowed for Nakku to walk away from him - in both situations his love was undervalued. And just like with Seema, this time too he closed up - he got upset but with a very ice-cold edge to his attitude. A person who does not understand or appreciate the intensity of his love does not need to be a part of his life - Seema was thrown out of his life (but that infamous curving bullet! 🤣) and Kala would be too. Except for Nakku, anyone else that "betrays" him has been eradicated (or at least tried to be eradicated) from his life. But a betrayal from Nakku caused him to bring her closer - caused him to marry her! - and if THAT isn't indication of Nakku being different, being special (like we need anymore reasons) then I don't know what is! *determined muh*
  

• Okay, again I might be wrong (do you realize how often I've said that in this TIN.. 🤣) but that last interaction between Dutta and Kala - where Dutta asks Kala to leave and Kala reciprocates by telling him she should - that was the most genuine bit of interaction we've seen amongst the two. Usually, while Dutta's being tolerant and respectful of Kala, Kala is being manipulative around him. But this time it was just two siblings talking. No matter how horrible Kala is, no matter how wrong her reasons, she HAS devoted years of her life to Dutta. If the fact that the devotion in question was more for her benefit and less for his can be set aside for a moment, maybe it might not seem weird that I thought that when Kala asked Dutta "if he really thought this is all she worth", to be a genuine sentiment. Here was a sister who'd been around Dutta for years, making sure he ate, slept and stayed safe (even if only to make sure that her lunch ticket remained in tact) and now he tells her to leave? *sigh* Maybe I am just seeing things, but this question and the hurt/incredulity on Kala's face seemed real to me. No farce, no games. Not at that moment.
  

• LMAO!!! When Kishore jumped right in and told Kala that they should leave, I almost fell of my bed laughing! FINALLY! Here's a self respecting man who's been waiting for years to be self sufficient and raise his family on his own, but hasn't been able to do so. But now that he gets a chance, he jumps right in. Before anyone can change their mind! Lol! I love Kishore! 😆😆

• Kala was expecting Kishore to agree with her in this particular instance - she didn't appreciate it or agree with it, but she was expecting it. *sigh* Man! These two know each other SO well! I really cannot help but wonder what their relationship would be like if it weren't so messed up. They would compliment each other so well - they'd probably be that witty couple that takes digs at each other but still knows that the other loves them. A relationship where they're best friends before they're spouses. *stubborn muh* I really do want to see them in a normal relationship!! *sigh*
  

• And even though she was expecting Kishore to agree to her suggestion of leaving the house, what Kala wasn't expecting was Aayi Sahib to endorse her suggestion too. But by suggesting that Kala leave to "keep intact the happiness of this house", Aayi Sahib picked Dutta over Kala (at least in Kala's mind) and that left her stunned again. First she looses her sister, then her mother dismisses her? When she tries to gain back some ground in her manipulation after that, it all comes unraveling because Dutta sees her? And then Baji validates her "evil" streak and now Aayi Sahib is willing to throw her out? All this in less than 24 hours? She cannot catch a break can she?! (Again, not saying that she deserves one, but still.. *sigh* 😆)

• Kishore just comes over, grabs her hand and takes Kala away? And she follows silently?! *sigh* I might be a total creep-o here but I found that so cute and endearing! *embarrassed muh* What!?! Don't look at me like that! I am sleep deprived remember! 🤣🤣

• I know Dutta didn't say anything as he pinched the bridge of his nose, but I totally feel that he was trying to calm his nerves after his confrontation with Dutta. Like this deep breath was to calm himself after "losing" Kala - but I could be wrong.. 🤔 But I really feel that while his eyes were closed, he was thinking about Kala and her betrayal. And once he opened his eyes, his focus was back on Nakku - he's let go of Kala's betrayal because Nakku's absence was more important to him. A man that dwells on broken relationships didn't spend more than a couple of seconds "dealing" with his current loss of relationship! And all for Nakku! *sigh* I don't even think I can say anything here!
  

• WHAT in the heck is up with Sudarshan's expressions?!?!?! 🤣 I had totally forgotten how distracting his out of place, weird expressions were while I wrote my TINs. One minute I am trying to understand Dutta's intense expressions and the next his weird, "brow scrunched" expression comes up out of no where! 🤣

• I wonder who took that picture of Nakku - and WHAT was everyone's reaction when they saw the picture of their maid in the engagement photographs - especially since that's the event where the mavali made an entry and the bride-to-be (NOT!) had passed out! 🤣

• When Baji first sees Nakku, he starts off with a very gentle and understanding approach. He cares for Nakku as a friend and as his sister-in-law - he tries to placate her and pacify her qualms about going home. He tells her everyone's worried for her and then he reaches for her hand (like a friend would) and takes her towards the car. But when Nakku pulls back, THAT is when he starts getting annoyed. He had been understanding with her up until then because he cared for her as a friend - but after being stonewalled by her time and again, his loyalty/care for Dutta took over his blind faith in Nakku. I mean WHAT was he to do if she didn't tell him anything? If she just kept spouting gibberish (as it may seem to him) about him not understanding the whole thing or if she just kept silent all together (which is what she did most of the time), HOW was he supposed to stay calm and rational? He's a guy, one who's in the business of hitting people (something that requires a short temper). So I do not hold his anger against him at all - in fact I find that to be quite a genuine character trait. His care for Dutta mixed with his professional experiences, no wonder he's all upset.

• BUT! What did upset me was the fact that he raised his fist at Nakku - and that had the possibility of turning into a huge character blunder, but instead the CVs did something amazing with it! Being the angry/temperamental gangster that he is, he raised his hand at Nakku in a fit of fury - but the minute he realized what he was doing, he looked at his hand with such disgust! Like he's disgusted at himself even raising his fist for show and angry at her for causing it. And then to "punish" himself, he rams his fist in the lantern - not to show his "manhood" but to punish himself for the LACK of it an instant ago. And what's even more awesome in this whole thing is that he yelped in pain as he did it! No Mr. Macho I-can-walk-on-nails nonsense for him! He's a simple guy who cries out when he gets hurt.. *sigh* Have I mentioned I love the CVs? 😍

• Throughout this entire confrontation, Nakku's sad - just sad - at seeing Baji's helplessness caused by her and hearing about Dutta's pain through him. She is simply in pain FOR them both. While with Dutta, she feels a strong sense of guilt - but with Baji, she's just sad (because she doesn't feel like she's betrayed him, because "betrayal" to Dutta is much more strong in her mind). So while Baji yells at her and pushes her, she remains calm and takes it all - never gets upset, never lashes out (much to Baji's irritation). All this because she was trying to protect Dutta and help him in whatever way she knew best. But when Baji hurts himself and stops her from helping him - THAT is when she lashes out. All she's done is try to help people - try to care for them - and when Baji accuses her to be "fake" in that matter, that is all it took for her to walk out into the rain. She was already "prepped" by Robinhood Pandey - she was going to tell Dutta the truth - but when Baji pushed her before she could get home, she just took the plunge. And even as she did it, that didn't lessen her guilt or sense of responsibility towards Dutta - just because Baji knows doesn't mean that Dutta does - she was still just as determined to tell Dutta as she was before! *sigh* Nakku, Nakku, Nakku! Why couldn't be a bit meaner? Life would have been easier for you.
  

• LMAO! Baji did NOT see that one coming did he! One minute he was a raging animal - yelling back 'n forth and hitting fists through the lantern. And the next he's stunned into silence! 🤣

• OMG! I think this is just me but hear me out anyways... Nakku has always tried to hide her beauty. Even when she's had to take it off in front of men (Morey and Anna) she's been extremely uncomfortable and repulsed by it. And she's NEVER initiated it! Yet with Baji, she walks out. She starts the process. She reveals her self out of her own desire - no one throwing pipe water or milk on her here! And she isn't in the least repulsed. *sigh* I LOVED that show of trust from her. I really did. And what I loved better? The fact that Baji lived up to her trust - he maybe seemed amazed/perplexed for a minute or two. But after that, it was all about "computing" what he'd just learned with the past couple of days and making sense of her behavior in lieu of this new information. He wasn't standing there ogling at her! He was just busy figuring out what he should do next and how this can be dealt with! Maybe a few more encounters with decent guys like Baji will help her understand that not all men try and strip you with their eyes in such a vulgar manner as Morey and Anna! 🤢

• Precap: Just one question - Is Kala talking to Dutta while Baji and Nakku are back? Or is she just assuming that Dutta's taking Nakku's word for hers (assuming that Nakku would speak against her even though I think Nakku will probably ask her to stay back..? 🤔)? Plus, instead of hinting at Baji betraying Dutta maybe she's looking at HER friend/confidante who betrayed HER?! I don't know.. The lack of Baji's presence in the precap has me a bit confused here. But maybe I'm wrong here and Baji/Nakku are back when this happens.

Oh also, I was wondering if you guys think I should start a PM list..? I mean if you think that this thread is too hard to find (given the current activity on the forum) I could PM the link for new threads every night to those who sign up..? What do you guys think? 🤔
