Greetings. Howdy?
Tonight, it was queerly entertaining. On that, sane entertainment it is so I didn't mind the circumstances under which I got to liking the episode, anyhow.
Mr. Bajpai, Anant's uncle is a powerful character. He may be jobless, or I presume, a writer or somebody - he has outright principles that he doesn't give up and so the family's exposure on him each day is diminished. But he loves his kid, and he subjected himself to a breakdown without any shame. That's one thing most men do not get involved in. Anyhow, he may be an aloof man at his 'distinctive-best' in the household, his principles have been violated. He believes his daughter has the right to know what plans are being plotted for her life, she's to carve it herself and he doesn't care if he and his wife are elements of no importance in the family. He wouldn't mind his status in the family, would know he'd help his wife through the blues and the complex the family members get her but he wouldn't tolerate the violation of his principles. Sadly enough, there are enough people around to do that to him each day.
And now, we'd talk of his nephew. Mister Anant is another Bajpai man of principles. His case maybe totally different, but he's gotten the same string of aloofness. He's present right in the middle of kids his age, but he does, as a matter of fact - think like a forty year old, pragmatic man. He's sad bout marriages getting broken but he's not cynical. He lives his life as object to the wrath of elders who think the generation he is part of is a waste, who violate every norm of decency and Hinduism each day whereas he does not bother about that community of elders or the youth he's actually part of. He has his own simple fundamentals which tell him there are hundred other things to do while you are just trying to get to know some girl 'better' and he doesn't mind either if he has to tell his best buddy that his thing with his girlfriend is senseless. Senseless, of course - only to him! The dimension of Anant's 'powerful' is vitally different from that of his uncle, but these men live in their own peaceful worlds and expect others to respect the walls they've built around them. Ranbeer and Harry have gotten to violating Anant's principles. Alright, these principles are vague in a sense that Anant is created and designed and all that to fall in love here in the show. But, it still counts.
These men clasped my attention all throughout. They act well, they are presentable characters, I wouldn't laugh at. So way to go! Best thing is, even if momentarily - their principles are not vague, even with respect to the serial.
The Navya squad was cool too tonight. Appy made a cracker statement that criticizing fate is like inviting it or whatever, in the serial world's context - she really made a lot of sense. Chachi jee made enough sense to me, she was begging her daughter to fetch her and her man respect. She's a helpless lady who needs to seek authority in the house, respect for her husband and all that is shit to me and all about their lives to a million ladies in India. Sigh.
