Beautifully written Sabah.. Hey, my words do not do enough justice. As I have said before, even if I had all the words of all the languages at my disposal, I would fail to articulate that beauty we cannot deny, that our souls witness and yearn to be intertwined with! Reciprocation is very important in any relationship... sometimes we need ti introspect and sometimes we need to talk our heart out to the person in front of us... and then reciprocation becomes easier than we think...Divya, that was so profound! 👏⭐️👏I love it! I never saw it that way True, only when we place our trust in others, in 'reciprocation itself, that our burdens become unburdened! Loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️Thanks.😳

Love Sabah

Great!!!👏👏👏

Funny, in real life, I have avoided mummy's boys, but now thanks to MJHT, they have a whole new credibility! but i have to say that i loved the mayur scene as well!....and he was so happy to see how much nupur cares for his momTrue, I love how just as Mayank lays out road blocks to Nupur's love, she short cuts through an unexpected alley...😆

my favorite lines there were:

"mayank tum bilkul ghanchakkar ho"It took me ages to figure out what she said, but another thing i loved about MJHT, it opened me up to my heritage! True, loved, it thanks for mentioning it..👏👏👏

"jab tum phone rakh do gi toh apne aap kaano ko shaanti mil gayegi".....loved his expressions there hahahhaThose nuances of expression. Excellent Arjun, especially when you consider that he is probably reacting to silence on that phone. Very talented actor! 👏
Thanks for mentioning again.! 👏⭐️

and the best "smile bandh karo!"That scene has assaulted my mind so many times, bringing smiles and laughter! I am truly very much indebted to MJHT
geez only his mom and nupur can handle his craziness hahahaTrue, well said! 👏👏👏

maya, you returned, I am so happy! 😃

hey sabah first of all an awesooooooome scene dear so hats off to u for this i must tell u that this is the most beautiful scene i have ever read between mayank and shilpa aunty I really can't take any credit, even without this thread, my words, their beauty will live on...and this shows that shilpa aunty is so caring and really a doting mom i mean these lines expresses that for a mother her child's happiness and health matters the most and whatever may be the condition or circumstances and no matter what the priority of her life is mayankSo many parents/people forget their intentions, their purpose of bearing with life, that we end up alienating those we struggle for in the first place! ..........this is the beautiful and the most sacred relationship that a mother and a child shares a special bonding beyond anything. oh god this little mayu i am loving him from the core of my heart u have portrayed this one very well indeed. True, I miss Mayu too! 😭mayank has always been a mature and an understanding person as shown by u in the previous talk with CJ and now he thinks that he has lost himself but i am sure that shilpa aunty will help him to deal with this one too she is the best mom anyone can get and such a cute and lovable saas aajkal toh dhoondne se bhi nahin milti hain.........Beautiful, loved your expression! 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️'mehnat ka phal meetha hota hai, pata nahin tum kyun itne karwey ho gaye ho'........aur mujhe pata hai ki humaari pyaari shilpa aunty is karawahat ko phir se mithaas mein ghol dengi...........again, maya, wonderful! 👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is love in both the scenes that bind the untruths to future truths. i absolutely loved this line ......It is the inspiration, its source, its substance that gives it weight, that extra kick, otherwise it would taste quite pallid!

For Mayank, the way to this heart is through this heart.and that's why i love him the most a distinctive feature which makes him unique what a straightforward person aaj kal aise log kahan milte hain yaarTrue, but as I said to Nandita, if we can imagine such a character, then we can become, strive to be as such. For me the best consequnce of MJHT is the inspiration to be a Mayank, Nupur, Gunjan or Samrat. What I love about Shilpa Aunty's characterization is that they truly are a good guidance for creating our own Mayu and mayanks. Sure maybe that means we won't get our Mayanks, but insuring that the next generation will. Isn't this is best legacy to bequeath? .......love him for this jo dil mein wahi zabaan par.......mayank sharma u rock.......Very well said! 👏👏👏

This is how Shilpa Aunty's radiance lights up Mayank's soul. This is the truth of goodness, love and light; it overflows through our sinews, veins and blood, overwhelming our souls and cores looking for new avenues to freely flow upon.......only and only shilpa aunty can do this unka charm hi kuch aisa hai ........ I was enchanted from the beginning, to be honest I don't know how 'men' cope. I being a woman, become hypnotized! 😳

so that when it is our turn to reciprocate it is never proportional but exponential. what a perfect line to define this perfect situation loved this yaar........Again all credit to inspiration,

kudos to u for this superb post dear.......My heart won't let me accept credit BUT i will accept your love! Thanks maya, for all your honest words, and heart felt appreciation! 😳Love Sabah

okk before i start replying....i was deeply touched by Muski's VM .on yaaade today & while commenting there i wrote my true feelings abt this thread, which i feel i should share in this thread itself too........This is the"why" of my loving this thread...I admit , before I started writing for Sabah's thread.shilpa aunty & maaynk's scene & their relation .i used to admire a lot, but that was it..but in last few days writing for sabah's thread , watching all those scenes again.i hv connected with those scenes in a different level..so many small yet beautiful details of their beautiful relationship i came to notice now..all thanks to sabah! That thread is my most fav thread now!
Mayank & his Mom's bond this time actually help me find out some new meaning in my relation with my mom also.it made me notice some similarities with my relation with my mom, that i never even care abt before! but now i know it is all beautiful & i m lucky!
(ok here is some addition that i didn't write in muski's thread!)what i wanna say is when I saw this unique mom son relation in the show, u found it all beautiful ,wished i too had same relation with my mom ..but what i overlooked was i actually hv a very similar kind of relation with my mom.& when this thread came, step by step , watching those scene again ,reading different ppl's thought abt it, sabah'a way of writting the things.everything just make me realize what i hv.my wealth..i hv a shilpa aunty of my own! Like every child I too love my mom the most, ...but this is not abt loving & respecting ur mom only, it is abt the feeling of having my own shilpa aunty,even thoug i m not even close to mayank( i believe great child like Mayank, deserves mom like shipa aunty na! like u once said, we don't get Mayank & Nupur like love in our life, coz we r not worthy of it) it made me so proud,so happy , this thread ,make me realize not many ppl r as lucky as me.& i can't thank u enough for this sabah!
okk, i m done with my emotional attyachar.😆( this forum, ppl like u , muski, divz made me more of a emotional kind of person i feel,now a days even the smallest thing bring tears to my eyes!Before, i was always good at hiding my emotion behind my piratical thinking )
Nways ....chodo......now lets c what is there u stored for us in ur next wonderful step!

Step Twelve - Reciprocation.

A parent's expectation of reciprocation lies no further than that smile the child wears across his heart! yeah! & most of the time the mothers hv only one answer to this smile..that is eyes filled with tears! 😆

{Lesson Twelve By Mayank. The action of reciprocation is governed by the law of proportionality. An eye for an eye OR a pearl for a pearl. A generous person might return twice as much, maybe even threefold.

However the law of proportionality is not only inadequate but borders upon insolent in one instance; that is when it relates to your mother's love.}👏i agree completely!

Okk, i m starting from mayank here, i simply love the way he look at the picture of his mom & promised to be a good child..when the bell rang , his face lights up with joy thinking abt mom coming back home.i can so connect with that, be it a little kid or a practical & matured guy like maaynk."Mom is here " this feeling always bring a smile in our face na!

I love the manner in which despite her long day, feeling very much under the weather, she sincerely smiles upon greeting Mayank at the door. No chastisement over the ration bill, no using her ill health as an excuse to wear a permanent frown. She bears in mind the reason she bears with life's trials; her son's happiness.

So true..but i think this one is Mom's special.every mother hv this.quality They manage to give a smile back to their kid even in their utmost pain....even though may be the child doesn't even bother to reply smile back!

On a personal note, I have always loved it when a person takes another's bag and belongings; to me it signifies a physical manifestation of their tacit intent,to bear the burdens of their beloved .

c this is what i was talking abt.the similarities, i m not saying this here to boast abt myself, but i do it every time when i go for shopping or go anywhere with my mom, none told me it is a quality & I admit i never do that thinkig abt to bear the burdens of their beloved.i do it as habit....u can say , but yap i m happy to find the similarities

Mayank essays the role of 'parent' once again but is unable to maintain this position for long before being returned to the place that not only suits him best, but that place his heart craves to rest; little Mayu to his mom! That oh! so cute, child-like and sullen face!oh little mayu😳.isn't he the cutest thing ever!😳 i cannot help it but to go gaga over him here which is completely off topic😆

i love the way she complemented her child.his effort with just one line."khushbu bahar tak arahithi"..one line yet enough to bring a proud smile to little mayu's face! Moms r always best at doing this kind small tricks!

"Mou poulat ke bait mat jaana..ke maine itnay pyar se banaya aur tumnay kaiya bhi nahin!" look how easily she can anticipate his reaction without even given him the chance to react actually!!!!

In the scene previous to this, Mayank announces to CJ his intention to 'delete' his mind and reset himself to 'original' Mayank. He commences this defragmentation by prioritizing his life's duties, firstly his Mother and secondly his studies. However his failure to these responsibilities is not the real reason for that morose face; his heart aches along with his mother's head.

I love that fact that even in her ill health, Shilpa Aunty's 'sass' remains ebullient as ever!

"Maanat ka pal meetha hota hai..pata nahin tum itnay kurvey hoga ho!" yeah! no frown , rather she is trying to make his son less worried abt her by teasing her just to show him that she is all fine!

I love the similarities between this scene and the earlier scene with CJ. There CJ and here Mayank both listen to truthful untruths. Both CJ and Mayank do not outwardly scoff at the speaker's comments. There, CJ knows one cannot hide from love, however I also believe that she knows that Mayank knows this fact too, she knows he is not deluded, thereby only a mild look of ludicrousness at Mayank's intents.


Here Mayank lets Shilpa Aunty's retirement plan trump his part time job, not because he believes her words, and I also believe that Shilpa Aunty knows that he does not believe her too, BUT he does believe that he will make her words become truth!

this scene deserve a big thumbs up👍🏼 i loved it when he actually said deal to his mom.he was so sure that he will accomplish everything in life that she wants & he is gonna fulfill the dreams she has seen for him oneday for sure! .


It is love in both the scenes that bind the untruths to future truths.

Once again we are honoured to witness the graceful beauty of Vaishnavi and Arjun, as Mayank 'nurses' his mother back from the brink of tension!

again.beautifully portrayed by vaishnavi & arjun...👏such simple thing..who will answer the phone?.but u just love the way they show it , so much affection, so much love..just what was needed there for this scene

Then that call from destiny to Mayank, reminding him that it is not in his hand to create the ties that bind. That confusion with an added layer of chaos; had Mayank become Rosaline to Nupur's Romeo? I love how the writers scripted, Nupur's straight to the point phone call, no formal greetings cutting immediately to that first perceptively intruding question! well thats nupur for u.jo dilpe wohi jubape 😆.whats the point of wasting time in formalities?😆

That irrepressible smile creeping over 'focused' Mayank's face, mind and heart signifying a deep truth; although for most men the way to their heart is through their stomachs, for Mayank is not! Surprisingly it is neither through his mind. For Mayank, the way to this heart is through this heart. yeah! it just that his mind never let him accept that truth so easily at the first place , he always hv to fight his famous dil & deemag ki ladahi & at the end it is his heart that always win!😆

The queen of his heart has always been Shilpa Aunty. Her generosity makes ample room in that most guarded and distinctly remarkable vessel for Nupur. This generous spirit of Shilpa Aunty's suffuses Mayank's soul, saturating him, deep into his core so that all his actions are imbued by it. For when he warns Nupur not to come crying to him when things fail upon her, it is his who returns to her; when destiny interrupts his sincere and goodly life's goals with a road block, he routes out a new scenic journey; when Bauji thrusts upon him the 'burden' of love, he adjusts the scales and finds therein balance.

i agree.Mayank learn to live life from his mom.a person who single handedly face life's struggle but never fail to accept & enjoy the beauty of life with a smiling face.& it kind of teach him to face any situation with the basic "good"ness or as they say "niyat " achi honi chahie.for anything done with good niyat will result only good for u! , whatever problem or clashes he may face in life he always dealt it with his honesty & with his good "niyat" & at the end the result was in his for. like he got Nupur finally after his struggle , but still bauji had to give him his Nupur at the end.& the only example he could hv learn this all from .is obviously only shilpa aunty !!!!!

This is how Shilpa Aunty's radiance lights up Mayank's soul. This is the truth of goodness, love and light; it overflows through our sinews, veins and blood, overwhelming our souls and cores looking for new avenues to freely flow upon; so that when it is our turn to reciprocate it is never proportional but exponential.


thanks for yet another wonderful step sabah! Hv i ever told u?..I love this thread.............😆

Sabah............
Firstly i m extremely sorry, for not commenting earlier...........
But u so rightly said.............reciprocation..............ah this is such a wonderful trait in any human being, coz we have brains, to think, to analyse and to reciprocate.........
This scene u have put up here, is such an epitome for a Mother-son relationship..................... a son worried abt his mom's health, wanting to share her burden, and trying to guard himself against loosing fpcus for her sake.
And a mother, working hard for her son, providing him with best and making sure that he doesnt looses his self in the tryst with life........
And u so rightly said, way to Mayank's heart his thru his heart.........and this has been imbibed into him by his mother......... coz she taught him to except the ppl as they are, love them for what they are, and recognise them with heart.............
and thats y, with Nupur, he did the same................
His mother in all ways shaped up his personality, so despite his sadu akdu nature, he has a caring heart.............he can RECIPOCATE to love and respect shown by others..............

Mayank & his Mom's bond this time actually help me find out some new meaning in my relation with my mom also.it made me notice some similarities with my relation with my mom, that i never even care abt before! but now i know it is all beautiful & i m lucky!

However my heart is saturated with warmth of strength from just hearing about this wonderful consequence!
For me I had a good relationship with my parents, but like you said not at the shilpa aunty level! I was inspired by Mayu and Shilpa Aunty to strive to find that same spark, 'sass' and even 'playing' 'little mayu' to my mother. It worked to the point of enchantment! Today for instance feeling sullen, I fell upon my mother's bed and moaned about my life's lament' MAYU STYLE. My mother listened and stroked my head for hours, like she did when I was a child, decades ago!
This is WHY i am returning to MJHT. Even if i suffer, even if they make me vomit in disgust, make me feel as if I have just swallowed razor blades, HOW CAN I EVER hope to repay them for this mornings resultant charm from their inspiration?! I am indebted, that is why i intend to pay off this debt, to the best of my abilities and to do justice to my love of MJHT until the end. And as Meenakshi pointed out to me, all is not lost, there is still berries of beauty to be sought and found in between bushes of thorny thoughts!
okk, i m done with my emotional attyachar.😆At least you stayed 30 metres from 'romance'! 😉( this forum, ppl like u , muski, divz made me more of a emotional kind of person i feel,now a days even the smallest thing bring tears to my eyes!Before, i was always good at hiding my emotion behind my piratical thinking )I blame this 'new' crowd you are 'hanging' around with...😳😆

However the law of proportionality is not only inadequate but borders upon insolent in one instance; that is when it relates to your mother's love.}👏i agree completely! Quite obvious, so even the blind stumble upon it! 😳 Okk, i m starting from mayank here, i simply love the way he look at the picture of his mom & promised to be a good child..when the bell rang , his face lights up with joy thinking abt mom coming back home.i can so connect with that, be it a little kid or a practical & matured guy like maaynk."Mom is here " this feeling always bring a smile in our face na! Wondeful mou! 👏👏👏True, that feeling of 'mum is here' never leaves us...until she does...😭

I love the manner in which despite her long day, feeling very much under the weather, she sincerely smiles upon greeting Mayank at the door. No chastisement over the ration bill, no using her ill health as an excuse to wear a permanent frown. She bears in mind the reason she bears with life's trials; her son's happiness.

Mayank essays the role of 'parent' once again but is unable to maintain this position for long before being returned to the place that not only suits him best, but that place his heart craves to rest; little Mayu to his mom! That oh! so cute, child-like and sullen face!oh little mayu😳.isn't he the cutest thing ever!😳 i cannot help it but to go gaga over him here which is completely off topic😆Enough said! 😳

i love the way she complemented her child.his effort with just one line."khushbu bahar tak arahithi"..one line yet enough to bring a proud smile to little mayu's face! Moms r always best at doing this kind small tricks! Again, true! 👏👏👏 Just one word, one gesture from my mother and i am that little school girl looking to my mother for my 'merit' badge to be pinned to my heart!

"Mou poulat ke bait mat jaana..ke maine itnay pyar se banaya aur tumnay kaiya bhi nahin!" look how easily she can anticipate his reaction without even given him the chance to react actually!!!!mothers are masters! Sometimes I don't know even how I will react, but my mother will tell me, you won't like it, AND she is correct! In truth, they know us better than ourselves, even if we don't admit to it! In the scene previous to this, Mayank announces to CJ his intention to 'delete' his mind and reset himself to 'original' Mayank. He commences this defragmentation by prioritizing his life's duties, firstly his Mother and secondly his studies. However his failure to these responsibilities is not the real reason for that morose face; his heart aches along with his mother's head.I love that fact that even in her ill health, Shilpa Aunty's 'sass' remains ebullient as ever!

"Maanat ka pal meetha hota hai..pata nahin tum itnay kurvey hoga ho!" yeah! no frown , rather she is trying to make his son less worried abt her by teasing her just to show him that she is all fine!That is what I hinted to before, in step eight, I think about consistency! Whether you are happy or sad, your outer appearance is consistently merciful, that you may a foundation upon which your child can depend upon. Imagine if she had behaved as some parents do, rude sullen, in no mood to 'react' to Mayu or his efforts! Mayank would be even more lost, thinking what his goals are for his life!?

I love the similarities between this scene and the earlier scene with CJ. There CJ and here Mayank both listen to truthful untruths. Both CJ and Mayank do not outwardly scoff at the speaker's comments. There, CJ knows one cannot hide from love, however I also believe that she knows that Mayank knows this fact too, she knows he is not deluded, thereby only a mild look of ludicrousness at Mayank's intents.

Here Mayank lets Shilpa Aunty's retirement plan trump his part time job, not because he believes her words, and I also believe that Shilpa Aunty knows that he does not believe her too, BUT he does believe that he will make her words become truth!

this scene deserve a big thumbs up👍🏼 i loved it when he actually said deal to his mom.he was so sure that he will accomplish everything in life that she wants & he is gonna fulfill the dreams she has seen for him oneday for sure! .It is THAT source of motivation that is the difference in the zeal of Mayank 'the student' as opposed to even 'CJ', a bright student for sure, who will go far in life but NOT zealous.
It is love in both the scenes that bind the untruths to future truths.

Once again we are honoured to witness the graceful beauty of Vaishnavi and Arjun, as Mayank 'nurses' his mother back from the brink of tension!

again.beautifully portrayed by vaishnavi & arjun...👏such simple thing..who will answer the phone?.but u just love the way they show it , so much affection, so much love..just what was needed there for this scene Excellently noted! 👏⭐️Even that thermometer part...😳So emotionally uplifting, no matter how many times i repeat my heart says 'play it once again' !

Then that call from destiny to Mayank, reminding him that it is not in his hand to create the ties that bind. That confusion with an added layer of chaos; had Mayank become Rosaline to Nupur's Romeo? I love how the writers scripted, Nupur's straight to the point phone call, no formal greetings cutting immediately to that first perceptively intruding question! well thats nupur for u.jo dilpe wohi jubape 😆.whats the point of wasting time in formalities?😆I miss this Nupur, that zest for the curiosities of life! She was that sparkling bang in Mayank's first phooljaari! That irrepressible smile creeping over 'focused' Mayank's face, mind and heart signifying a deep truth; although for most men the way to their heart is through their stomachs, for Mayank is not! Surprisingly it is neither through his mind. For Mayank, the way to this heart is through this heart. yeah! it just that his mind never let him accept that truth so easily at the first place , he always hv to fight his famous dil & deemag ki ladahi & at the end it is his heart that always win!😆

We can escape into our imaginations from our minds, BUT where do we go to escape our hearts...maybe dreams, but there too our beloved reign!

The queen of his heart has always been Shilpa Aunty. Her generosity makes ample room in that most guarded and distinctly remarkable vessel for Nupur. This generous spirit of Shilpa Aunty's suffuses Mayank's soul, saturating him, deep into his core so that all his actions are imbued by it. For when he warns Nupur not to come crying to him when things fail upon her, it is his who returns to her; when destiny interrupts his sincere and goodly life's goals with a road block, he routes out a new scenic journey; when Bauji thrusts upon him the 'burden' of love, he adjusts the scales and finds therein balance.

He dealt with bauji so well. I know so many real life Mayank and Nupur weddings, where the 'blamed' partners try to distance or estrange their beloved from 'their' enemies to their union!

This is how Shilpa Aunty's radiance lights up Mayank's soul. This is the truth of goodness, love and light; it overflows through our sinews, veins and blood, overwhelming our souls and cores looking for new avenues to freely flow upon; so that when it is our turn to reciprocate it is never proportional but exponential.


thanks for yet another wonderful step sabah! Hv i ever told u?..I love this thread.............😆Yes, but I love hearing it again....😳 Thanks mou, wonderful insights, notes and pokes! 👏⭐️

But u so rightly said.............reciprocation..............ah this is such a wonderful trait in any human being, coz we have brains, to think, to analyse and to reciprocate.........Brilliant note!👏 true, we have the means, but sometimes we hesitate upon response...😕
This scene u have put up here, is such an epitome for a Mother-son relationship..................... a son worried abt his mom's health, wanting to share her burden, and trying to guard himself against loosing fpcus for her sake.Exactly, consistency in poverty and adversity, such a difficult trait, BUT that is why shilpa Aunty's character shines so bright, she is truly a light for us all!
And a mother, working hard for her son, providing him with best and making sure that he doesnt looses his self in the tryst with life........Ah! excellent choice of words! 👏 His success her success; her happiness cemented in his happiness!
And u so rightly said, way to Mayank's heart his thru his heart.........and this has been imbibed into him by his mother......... coz she taught him to except the ppl as they are, love them for what they are, and recognise them with heart.............Beautiful! 👏
That is why this phrase 'listen to your heart' makes me smirks. For if your heart is true and pure, then it fits well, BUT if your heart is corrupted then better not to seek its advice!

and thats y, with Nupur, he did the same................True, well noted !👏
His mother in all ways shaped up his personality, so despite his sadu akdu nature, he has a caring heart.............he can RECIPOCATE to love and respect shown by others..............Wonderful annie, a very fitting conclusion! 👏⭐️

Mayank, I am sure that caught your attention!

That soul that captured the strong hearts of others; glittering moons and bright planets seemingly pulled by his gravitational force into orbit; his character's beauty an incomparable delight and his smile...

...they were all a reflection of the light of the soul of the character brought to life by the excellent and exquisite portrayal by Vaishnavi. McDonald, SHILPA AUNTY. Who made being known something of a 'mummy's boy' a compliment, a badge to wear with gratitude!

STEP ONE. Build a loving trusting bond.

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrdSKqKH-vA[/YOUTUBE]

I named this step one rather than lesson one, to highlight Aunty Shilpa's more easygoing manner as opposed to Mayank's regimental attitude. (I wonder if that is from his father or if there is another underlying cause.)

Up until the introduction of Shilpa Aunty, the adults depicted in MJHT were caricatures with the exceptions of Bauji and Deodhar Sir (Mayank's future incarnation, until Nupur saved him) We had to wait eleven episodes before this wonderful character was introduced, by then MJHT had found a special place in our hearts but the beauty of her character imbued our souls!

Up until this moment we had only seen the dashing hero cum sadu/sarcastic side to Mayank.

Then entered this vivacious, breathtakingly beautiful lady. (I have imagined scenes where men become enchanted by her... ...to the 'disturbance' of Mayank.) In real life I have noticed, that people cannot hide nor fail to exhibit that which resides in their hearts. Actors being people, this rule naturally applies to them too.

{Lesson One By Mayank. In the Arabic language there is a term called khileqa, the closest I have come across in the English Language is micro-expressions or body language, but it is something more. If Khalq is your outer body, Khuluq your character, then Khileqa is an outward, subtle or extravagant, expression of your character into your body and manner. Does anyone know of another term for this, in any other language or culture?}

Her Khileqa or her inner and outer beauty combination is resplendent! I cannot believe that anyone could see her and not fall in love with her.

Then their conversation. On paper the dialogues could lean towards syrupy or mellifluous however the exceptional acting talents of both raises the scene to a level which is both heart-warmingly endearing and full of charm. In less than a minute, the briefest of glimpses, the script writers, actors and directors show as a stable, loving mother-son relationship built upon trust and love whereby they point out each other foibles, gently guide towards betterment and provide for each other companionship. It seems extraordinary that Shilpa Aunty could have a son like Mayank, that is until see witness 'Mayu'.

I loved the way the creators depicted this simple premise; that the best things in life are free. That which is truly worth obtaining is to be found within the hearts of people and not in material things. The moderate living accommodations of Mayu and his mum overflowing with their love as opposed to Samrat's large mansion which even though it is filled to the brim with all modern day amenities remains strangely empty.

Further credit to Vaishnavi and Arjun whose ease of delivery and chemistry made us forget that they are not actually mother and son. Their opening banter about the coffee; the gracefulness of their exchange of words and actions echoing the harmonious melody playing in synchrony within both their hearts.

Then the lightning strike...

Mayank mentions some 'pagal ladki'. Shilpa Aunty doesn't bat an eyelid, nor raise an eyebrow or tease him about 'a girl'. Why? At this point she knows the only 'girl' in Mayu's life is her. Impossible to make fun of the impossibly improbable.

Back to the lightning strike...

Mayank moves the items between them and moves closer, we all imagine to deliver some sarcastic retort to Aunty's sly comment upon his idiosyncratic behaviour, and says'.

"Toh tum abhi tak kyu jaagre ho?"

"Tujhe nahin pata?"

"Pata hai, per baar baar suney main accha lagta hai' 'tum jaagre ho isliye"

I think every Mayank fan did a double take! What did he just say?!!? I did not know Mayank came in a sweet version! Does not every girl yearn for this? That their love have a special side, part and even smile that they keep apart only for them, that no one else can invade upon or ever know except his cherished ones; that keeps a special place in his heart which is only reserved for them? Like Darcy his sister and Elizabeth and maybe Bingly; Captain Wentworth his sister and Anne. For Mayank, his mum and then eventually Nupur. Have I revealed too much?

Then as sudden as a leaf falling off a branch, disciplinarian Mayank returns to remind his mum about the importance of punctuality. Aunty Shilpa responds with jovial flair; as one who is accustomed to such speeches as well as abrupt temperaments changes; she doesn't even blink or hint.

Then again we witness the gracefulness of Vaishnavi and Arjun as Mayank shoos her out of his room, followed by the Piece de rsistance "Maa balon ko mat chuo please!" Which Shilpa Aunty lovingly mimics...



Hi Sabah,

i'm going to take time over reading this post - it is so heartwarming and touching - that it'll take time for me to absorb it in :) So, I'll reply slowly during the weekdays but faster in the weekends!!

I absolutely loved the way you described Shilpa Aunty - vivacious breathtakingly beautiful lady - it's funny how you can take the same terms and apply it to Nupur straight way!! But do not want to deviate - yes I do agree with you - she is beauty personified! I wonder how she would have reacted to men enchanted with her LOL But yes, apart from the physical - there's beauty in her demeanor! She brings a sense of calmness to everything - and embodies in her a belief that everything would work out fine. Life is not easy for a woman bringing a child up on her own - we never do get to know what has happened to Mayank's dad - and I'm sure her attitude has helped her big time in this world. And it would have also been a source of strength to her son - for again it's not easy growing up without a father - so his mother's strength of character, her calmness would have gone a long way in making Mayank the wholesome character that he is.

But what interested me the most was the question - Why is Mayank so serious? Is he weighed down by his responsibilities - Because he's the only male in the house he feels that it is his duty to look after his Mom? Is he balancing his mother's light hearted nature? When he smiles - mashallah - those dimples are cuteness personified!! I am reminded of the quote by the Joker in the Dark Knight "Why so serious son? Let's put a smile on that face."

But loved that little snippet of the episode - It summarized their relationship - the love and the trust that they share. The bond between a mother and son is very special - and that's what comes out in that episode. You feel that bond will stand the test of time and last a lifetime and beyond!! What I liked best is that in the later episodes they show is that though the bond is so strong - it does not make Nupur feel as an outsider - she also becomes a part of it. As they say one never runs out of love, it grows to make space for more !!

Don't know if all that made any sense - but your posts make me wish I had the gift of words as you do - just so I could respond with a little bit of the "word beauty" that you have :)

Till my next post!!

Hi Sabah,Dearest Kiran, so for the late reply.

i'm going to take time over reading this post - it is so heartwarming and touching - that it'll take time for me to absorb it in :) So, I'll reply slowly during the weekdays but faster in the weekends!!Please feel free to stroll at your own pace...no minimum speed limit!

I absolutely loved the way you described Shilpa Aunty - vivacious breathtakingly beautiful lady - it's funny how you can take the same terms and apply it to Nupur straight way!! But do not want to deviate - yes I do agree with you - she is beauty personified! If I were suffused with a glimmer of her beauty for mere moments, it would be enough to take me through the rest. 😳I wonder how she would have reacted to men enchanted with her LOL Kiran, I had never thought about this aspect! I had always foscused upon Mayank's reaction. THANK YOU👏👏👏You have sprouted a meadow of thoughts wherein synaptic sparks of wildflowers attract butterflies, many BUMBLE BEES to the dismay of a dragonfly...😆😆😆But yes, apart from the physical - there's beauty in her demeanor! She brings a sense of calmness to everything - and embodies in her a belief that everything would work out fine. Life is not easy for a woman bringing a child up on her own - we never do get to know what has happened to Mayank's dad - I like that they leave it open to our own inferences. This subtlety pervades all things related to Mayu and his mom. and I'm sure her attitude has helped her big time in this world. And it would have also been a source of strength to her son - for again it's not easy growing up without a father - so his mother's strength of character, her calmness would have gone a long way in making Mayank the wholesome character that he is. 👏👏👏beautiful, your words fill those gaps upon the cracks of my soul...😳
👏
But what interested me the most was the question - Why is Mayank so serious? Is he weighed down by his responsibilities - Because he's the only male in the house he feels that it is his duty to look after his Mom? Is he balancing his mother's light hearted nature? for me two reason, one, his rush to grow up and repay his mother's nurture by filling the role of man of the house OR inherited from his father, whereby Shilpa Aunty was Nupur to his father's Mayank and now we have history repeating itself. I flip flop from one fancy to the other as my feelings flow...😳

When he smiles - mashallah - those dimples are cuteness personified!! I am reminded of the quote by the Joker in the Dark Knight "Why so serious son? Let's put a smile on that face." Kiran, genius, I am glad to note that finally this pachinko machine has found a worthy player!

But loved that little snippet of the episode - It summarized their relationship - the love and the trust that they share. The bond between a mother and son is very special - and that's what comes out in that episode. You feel that bond will stand the test of time and last a lifetime and beyond!! Again kiran your words drench me! 😳What I liked best is that in the later episodes they show is that though the bond is so strong - it does not make Nupur feel as an outsider - she also becomes a part of it. As they say one never runs out of love, it grows to make space for more !!Exactly, they love flourishes searches new areas of growth.

Don't know if all that made any sense - but your posts make me wish I had the gift of words as you do - just so I could respond with a little bit of the "word beauty" that you have :)Kiran, either you are modest or blind for your words are a blaze of beauty upon pallid webspace!

Till my next post!!waiting....and anticipating😳....Sabah
