Great post, Anu! 😆Thanks, Aimin!😆
Agree with EVERYTHING you said, fully. 😆 The episode was so touching, it even brought tears to my eyes. Reading posts made by other people all over this forum, I think a lot of people felt the same way. It reminded me of my college days and my friends, too, who are now separated, living all over the world; the crazy things we did; the arguments and fights we had; best of all, the making up after that. Like it was so aptly shown in the classroom scene, there isn't a particular place to forgive and forget. 😊 Totally...that moment was about the EMOTION of it...it wasn't about finding an apt place to forgive and forget...it was the flow of the emotions and how they built up...the bond of friendship and what it means to have friends who are always there for you...I REALLY missed my school/college days there...best days of life, seriously.
I loved the dynamics of the episode as well. I'm not sure whether it's a first, but didn't feel bored at all, even for a single moment. Was hanging onto every word and gesture. LOL ditto! Even I wasn't bored for even one moment...even though we had some CSB creepiness in the beginning but overall the epi was so well sketched out and every moment gripped me...I was hanging on waiting to see what happens next...and the gestures always have those nuances that unfold slowly so those hook me too.
Initially I felt angry at Appy for being unreasonable but my anger slowly fizzled off. Great writing done in the cafeteria scene indeed. 😆 You would feel pissed off at Appy but at the same time like her because she visibly got upset when Harry was talking about "Anant's girl who left him" coz she clearly knew it was Navya. Yeah Appy was really annoying me in the beginning scene with Ritz and when Navya walked over too but this scene showed more layers unfolding...very good writing.
Everything about this episode was commendable. 👏
P.S. Navya is such a sweet person. She also shows tact when she's at home and with friends (reference to how she makes everything okay at home when Daadi says something depressing at Renuka and when she cheered up Appy about going to the picnic). How could anyone want Shagun over her? 🥱 LOL yes indeed...Navya is a sweet little dumbo😆...there's a soft naivete to her that is endearing and I think inspires protective feelings in anyone around her who grows to care about her😆...and yes she does have maturity and tact in many situations...that samajh as Anant once mentioned too...she knows how to make peace b/w her family members and with her friends, she just opens her heart out...how can you really be angry at her for long either when you see how confused and upset she herself is...dumbo si toh hai😆...Shagun toh sirf CSB types ko hi pasand aa sakti hai😆
Nureat01 I must appreciate your writing. I have been following your posts for sumtime now and they are awesome 😊.I love the way you write.Keep it up. Its a treat reading your posts an I agree to everything that you have mentioned. Yesterday's epi has b'com my personal favourite. every1 was gud but Ritz and Ranbeer were @ their best.looking fwd to more from you 👍🏼
Lovely post Anu. Agree with everything and I really dont have anything to add.
About the precap, are they standing outside Navya's house?? There is a door with a nameplate behind Anant.
I like watching their scenes. Up until now their scenes have been quite natural and well something that you might see between two close guy friends. Usually in those "typical" youth shows, the two buddies are just shown playing pranks on their girls or trying to show off their "coolness" factor. Ranbir-Anant's friendship seems genuine and well quite mature. Totally agree, Amy...and I've watched my fair share of these "youth shows" too...which are more obsessed with "cool" and "gloss" than any actual GENUINE bonding b/w the friends...I see Ranbir-Anant as a very real, chilled out set of friends...ppl you could know from real life...no wannabeness as I see in all of the Star One youth shows too.
Dude that professor dude is so darn annoying with his weirdo accent and his forever annoyed expressions! He doesn't seem like he's teaching college students...in fact he seems like he is an evil elementary school teacher whom noone ever likes.😆 He's suchhh a caricature😆...so random with his supposed "grumpiness"...he does talk down to them like they are in pre-school or something😆
anyhow coming to the scene--- Although i would have rather preferred for this moment to be played out some place more private than during a lecture in the classroom full of students and that weird professor, I still liked the way it was executed. I liked the gradual buildup as Navya confesses her feelings to her BFFs. I understand...I read yours and LadyM's discussion over this too but when I watched the scene, I felt it was so nicely executed that the question about the right place to get privacy or something became redundant in a sense cuz it was an emotional moment for all three of them...the moment was about the build up to the hug and the anguish they were all three going through in a sense...Navya always has been oversensitive...and they kept it realistic I think cuz the reactions of the classmates showed their surprise and taunts about how they found it odd...but for the three ppl involved in that moment, it wasn't about being conscious about the audience around them but being so emotionally overwrought that they had to talk it out and then ofcourse had to hug Navya to console her too.
@Ritz hugging Navya--- You're right! she does seem to have this sort of "motherly" instinct in her especially when it comes to Navya. She knows exactly how to handle Navya which is something Appy somehow falls a bit short to understand. navya is the type of girl who is very sensitive and very reclusive in terms of expressing her inhibitions to anyone. Ritz knows that and that's why she wanted to take it slowly and gradually as evident in the moment when Navya walks to an annoyed Appy in the morning. Appy too gives in later on and I'm so glad that they didn't stretch "appy being annoyed" issue beyond it's limits. Phewww! Yep I'm also glad the Appy issue didn't get dragged out and was actually handled well enough I'd say...
Ever since he met her, he never seems to take Navya being upset and crying and just move on without doing something. It's like the moment he sees her in such condition, his face drops and he gets in this mode to make Navya comfortable asap! Awww! I know! I find it really aww-worthy too...his face totally falls like you said and you can see how tangibly he wants to comfort Navya😆
LOL but i was surprised when he walks to her and asks her to come with him with the professor standing right there noticing everything!😆 LOL Anant is so unpredictable...he surprises me many times...this was also one of those moments...I also thought he wouldn't say anything in front of the entire class and prof watching them...but I guess when it comes to Navya, he can't help himself...she was crying so brokenly again and he just wanted to take her away from there...I thought it was so sweet how softly he asked, "Navya, chalo yahan se...please"...He always adds that please so politely...😆
She does seem to get in that mode whenever she sees navya crying or upset. But i hope they don't stretch it out too much and put the blame on Anant's head altogether. As i had mentioned earlier, navya is as much responsible for her state herself as is Anant. I agree that these reactions were the "initial shock" reactions but i hope they gradually understand Anant's situation as well. I think we've seen that Ritz gets very protective and defensive when it comes to Navya...even previously when AN had that tiff during the computer project, Ritz was all fiercely protective like a lioness is for her cub😆...in this case, it's not exactly a case of putting the blame solely on Anant's head...Navya did go with the flow after a point too...but yes, it is largely Anant who coerced her into a lot of stuff that she would have not shown the impetus to do otherwise...like I said once before, they were both catalysts for each other but Anant did rush things...which largely brought them to this point...and now it is HIM that's backing off more so that's why I guess Ritz wants to blame him more too but it's a complicated situation. Gradually I'm sure they will understand.
Poor guy is already under such a pressure! he has a sword...errrm marriage with SA-GUN issue, hanging on his head. GOD how ruthless are his family members! How can they fix his wedding at 19? and that too with a girl who is just good for NOTHING all because she is Rama's sister and bringing in sister as their second DIL will mean there will be no sibling wars?!😳 yeah right! All this marriage talk at this early age is a torture for Anant. he should be worrying about finishing college and starting his career and not freaking worry about getting married unless he has knocked up some girl and thus have to take the responsibility of the baby and the baby momma.😆LOLLL exactly...the only reason ppl would otherwise get married so young would be in a baby scenario😆...but the Adams family and their PARAMPARA...beyond my scope to understand...Poor Anant really does have to go through a lot of torture now😆...I wonder how this issue will be shown in the show now.

I liked it how they showed both Anant and Navya picking on their food and Anant going as far as writing an N on his plate with the gravy :-) Anant wants to call Navya is constantly looking at his phone but is dabaaoing CSB's feet instead. And when CSB FINALLY dozes off after 1 hour, he rushes to call Navya, but backs off at the last minute. I also liked Navya's anxious pacing around as she waited for Anant's phone call, somewhere wildly hoping that he would call her back to tell her that everything is all right. And her apparent disappointment cum relief when Ritz calls to check on her.The next morning in college: I too am glad that they didn't stretch out Appy being mad on Navya too long. But like you said, I didn't like it that they did it in classroom, in front of the professor of all places. It was preposterous with a capital "P". Navya's rona-dhona in the classroom had already established her as a cry baby. And today when the three ladies burst into tears and started hugging each other in front of the entire class, I was like woah! 😕 Yeh kya ho raha hai ... It was a the-earth-should-swallow-me-on-the-spot moment!!!! Anant telling Navya to leave was again not needed. Thank God the professor had enough sense to turn everyone out of the class. At least he spoke like what a professor should! Navya's crying queen act must've put Anant under a tremendous pressure as well. She is leaving absolutely no stone unturned to make the entire world and its brother know that something is brewing between her and some guy with her incessant crying in class. I am not sure I liked this part.Ritz blaming Anant was errrm ... not required, but understandable. Her best friend is nursing a broken heart and all her myopic vision can see is that the guy is at fault for breaking her friend's heart. Right now everyone's emotions are high. So someone is going to get the blame. Surely it won't be Navya because Anant was the one to take the first step back. I am pretty sure that since Navya hasn't thought through the family situation, she is not worried about how she would've reacted had her parents arranged for her to get married, unlike Anant. Therefore he has all my sympathy for now. He was honest. And therefore, is paying the price for his honesty. Navya did the right thing too. In a way, she put the ball back in his court. If Anant indeed wants to be married to Navya, instead of Shagun, then he has to muster courage and conviction to fight against all the odds. However, I wish that they do not hasten their marriage. 19 year olds getting married is both illegal (for the guy) and a sacrilege.
