Lessons in Love

Okay, I've just run out of praises. And the story's not even half done. God, how do the CVs come up with such beautiful situations and dialogues! Y'day's episode was one of the finest episodes of LTL. And it just keeps getting better, doesn't it? CVs, I want to congratulate you! I mean, taking a story like LTL and adding layers to it, crafting it so beautifully; I don't really know how you've done it. It could've been like any other soap. But you guys had the guts to experiment, and come up with such a powerful show. You've taken time to develop each character, and the effort just shows. We've seen the characters undergo gradual transformation, and grow with each phase. There's this standard you've set for any show that wants to be more than just a love story. You've not only managed to transcend barriers of status and beauty, but also altered our mindset.

I was reading some of the posts here y'day. Some are happy, ecstatic while others are plain frustrated at the way they're dragging the story. If y'day's an example of how they're gonna move, I'm all for it. I think I've mentioned this in many(all) of my posts. TaSha's a special jodi. And hence their love story cannot be simple. It has to be something that we've never seen on television before.

The last half was so wistful! *Sigh* We had predictions of who's gonna sleep where and what did our darlings do?! While Dutta dozed off in his chair, Naku seemed to make herself comfortable on the floor beside him. These sati savitri types usually make me sick, but there's this honesty about Naku that sometimes makes me go awww. She's the real thing. And Dutta waking up and seeing her first thing in the morning, how romantic was that! I loved his dialogue, tu nahi jaanti tujhe dekhke mujhe kitna sukoon milta hai! *Sigh*

Naku's prayer and the way she explained it to him, it made me cry. I've never ever cried watching LTL, but this scene honestly moved me. She's such a positive character, and I hope it rubs off on Dutta. I've been asked why I love the characters so much. It's just that I've been through one of the darkest phases of my life. I thought I'd never ever recover. But what I've realized in the last few months is that I am a positive person. I might try to fool others with the cynic act, but it simply doesn't last. There is so much of the positive in me, that it's difficult to give up. And seeing Naku's faith in goodness made me realize that y'day. Things will go wrong, but you have the choice to either mope and resign yourself to that fate, or smile at your blessings. Naku's chosen to smile, coz she knows her blessings. And this goodness is giving Dutta strength. It is this serenity he's experiencing in his life.

CVs, love you for giving us such a beautiful story! LTL has become such an important part of my life these days, that I wonder how I'll ever survive if the serial ends!

Liz very well expressed girl. I dont have to say much..u said it all.

Agree with you ,LTL is very different show then our daily soaps ,never seen a show before which have characters like LTL and the way Cv developed them👏,awesome ,as I to noticed dutta irritation to kala words t was not like before ,dynamics of their relation is changing

Agree with u...now dutta is able to c what his sis is up to? during Rakhi, her sarcastic comments he felt were genuine and now he is able to think at least..When Dutta decides to forgive his dad, it is soley because of Nakku and she is going to be the winner😊 in the battle between "good and evil"

I agree with u .. this LS , is not all mushy and shinny . But it is abt understand eachother and giving to the word Love ..

Yes Cv's i am also grateful to you for providing us such a lovely show on television....This show is not only a source of entertainment for us but also an inspiration ....we get to learn so many things from it ...it helps us to change our attitudes and perspective and to look at things from a different angle...Unlike other crap shown on television, this serial is a gem and i appreciate all your efforts.
Thank you !!

Yes Liz , i also think that dutta is certainly 'turning a deaf ear' to kala's talks and not getting affected by her false sympathies unlike earlier when he was readily brainwashed by her !! 👏

My my, Dutta seems to be getting smarter. Did you see the way he looked at Kala while she was talking all that BS? It was like he could see right through her. I might be wrong, but something tells me that Kala's venom isn't working on Dutta anymore. If this is how it is, I'm all for Kala scenes too. I thought he'd get angry again, but he seemed to be mulling over what Kala and Naku said. And Naku's emerging the clear winner. There's something about goodness; it might not seem as powerful as evil but it works its magic slowly. And when it comes, it comes to stay. This is what is happening in Dutta's life too. Naku's slowly flushing out all the darkness from his heart and soul. And he seems to be realizing it too.

AWESOME POST!!!

Beautifully worded!!! I felt exactly the same way about yesterday's episode!!! I actually read your post this morning but didn't have time to reply to it, and now when I came home I was like I have to find it and comment!

I love the way you've said everything. THIS is exactly why I love LTL too. Amongst all the OTT-ness and Kekta type vamps/twists there is some amazing writing and character development. Esp. regarding Dutta's character and Dutta-Naku and the Dutta-Bajji bond. It's too beautiful for words.

I esp. LOVE the bits in bold (which is pretty much your entire post!!), lol. But I wanted to highlight those bits especially since that's exactly how I feel too.

I completely agree with the dragging bit. I don't mind this type of dragging at all! Where we actually see gradual groW*H in the characters, meaning to each and every WORD, every look, every dialogue. There is something about the way Dutta is touched by Naku that is SO sweet to watch! The way her innocence, her faith in God and her positivity affects Dutta is too beautiful. And I have no complaints with the way the creatives are developing the DN love story so far. *touchwood*

Totally agree about the Kala bit. That's what I thought too. Very interesting how that was shown. Kala's words are doing just the opposite of what her intentions are it seems. Dutta is starting to not be as affected by them. In the end, like you said, it was Naku's words that stayed with him.

I just found it so interesting that Naku's words about her baba: "Bachpan mein jab main gir jaati thi toh baba mujhe uthate the. Ab jab aaj unke pair ladkhada rahe hain toh mera farz banta hai unko sahara dena. Unki galtiyon ko sudharna". It was interesting how these words of Naku remained with Dutta and he was contrasting that with his own feelings about his dad.

It just shows how Naku believes in second chances, she believes in the good of people. She's really the only one who saw beyond Dutta's outward anger and turmoil. She saw his goodness, she could see into his soul for who he really was when no one else could.

And I agree about Naku being different from other "sati-savitri" types too. Normally these perfect kind of characters irritate me too...but like you said Naku's innocence and just how real she is does touch you. And more than anything it's the way she affects Dutta that intrigues me the most. 😍 The way she gets through to him when no one else can is just beautiful! 😍

I LOVED that last scene too! Some genius writing there once again! Loved the way Dutta looked at Naku when he woke up. 😍 And the way he was so intrigued by what she was doing. LOVEDD that dialogue you pointed out too, "Tu nahin jaanti ki teri yeh masoomiyat mujhe kitna sakoon deti hai" Awwww 😍 And you can SEE that serenity, that 'sakoon' on his face na?

Another bit I also loved, previously to this scene was how Naku places that blanket on him and says, "Kitne dino baad saab ko aissi neend ayi hai". Awww so true! The guy has been so hurt, so conflicted, so confused, so unaware of how to deal with everything that's been happening to him, it feels SO good to see him at peace. :)

Coming back to that end scene, just loved Naku's words about God testing you and then giving you strength also. And Dutta's halke se tear brimmed eyes as he's listening to her and just BELIEVING everything she says. Loved the bit where she talks about how your hands play a role in your destiny and how it's all "in your hands". Once again, amazing writing, symbolism and meaning to the whole scene! Such interesting perspectives and thoughts, and WAYS of showing Naku's faith in goodness, her positivity and how it affects Dutta.

Loved the way Dutta had this confusion over how she's always so positive. And he asks her whether she can see his faults. And loved the way Naku reassures him that he's not weak. He's just too emotional. Again, just LOVE the way she gives him strength and reassurance always. Always sees the good in him, making him see and BELIEVE the good in himself!

Dutta is one amazingly well written character- all his faults, his inner conflicts with himself. I LOVE how's SO imperfect, so unable to deal. And the way he's always hard on himself also. But it's Naku's faith in him that strengthens him, calms him, makes him want to believe the goodness he has within him.

But really, through Naku Dutta can see himself clearly...he can believe in himself more. She's this positive and inspiring force in his life that like you said brings him serenity and happiness. And it's SO SO beautiful to watch!! 😍

Once again, AWESOME post!! 👏

Beautifully analyzed, Pallo! Especially the bit in bold👏👏👏....I couldn't agree more.....we've gotten some amaaaaaaazing scenes this week so far....first the Monday epi with the scene you mentioned....my fav. line was "Teri baaton mein bhi kuch baat hai, badal deti hain mujhe"....Such a simple line yet with so much depth....it shows how she's that one force in his life that has changed his perspective....who gives him strength in the darkest of hours when he finds himself floundering and losing faith in everything including himself....she's that anchor that calms the storms in his life.....and that one line expressed it all to me....there have been such beautifullyyyyyyyyyyy written dialogues and scenes this week......hats off to the dialogue writers👏👏👏....they truly deserve acclaim for this.

And I'm so thankful and touched by how beautifully and subtly this relationship is being developed without stupid random "hawtness" sequences cuz that is so NOT Dutta-Nakusha....just won't go with their characters....so far everything that has been shown with them is so beautifully in character that I just feel like doing touchwood and hoping it always stays and evolves in this manner.....it's so rare to see writers actually RESPECTING their creations and you can feel the love and detailing with which these characters and their scenes are written out.....hope that never changes.

LIZ! ur back again! With yet another Amazing post ... and few ppl find yesterday's episode boring??? oh.. I thought it was one of the best episodes we ever had in long time... reason u and others have already mentioned beautifully .. i have nothing much to add .. but would like to say that yesterday The old feel was There! They both have GROWN in terms of their understanding for each other .. but What they always shared between them was THERE! right THERE! they didn't get LOVEY dovey which i would have disliked considering the circumstances they are under... But i loved how Their scenes were kept so REAL and RElatable! They both had other things in their minds.. how naku consoled him .. and won his confidence every time makes me admire her MORE!
