How promising the start of the episode was! Navya showing a brave front, smiling genuinely, participating in the conversation & joking with her family. It didn't seem AT ALL like she had gone through a major heartbreak. & her thoughts in between were sincere enough to motivate me to watch the rest of the episode. However, although the first 4 minutes were great, we got some (...ooops, u put it v mildly...it was not 'some' but loads of banaras shit n of course, rama's teeth...she could scare away vampires too how does ananth stand her asking him those sick questions n the way he mentioned her aksing him abt aloo-mutter to navya, why bring her in betn his feeling foe navya???...i just caught some running glances of the shit-ster scenes in fast forward n i feel so sick, cant imagine what cud happen to me if i had to bear the ultimate torture of watching them in normal mode of tv!!) real Banaras shit served tonight. 🤢
For a full 5 minutes. & that was followed by Rama bullying Nimisha (the conversation between Nikhil & her was interesting btw). Right now I'm wondering why I even watched the rest of the episode, but I'm glad I did. The reason, later.
I don't know why but the parents are even worse than the Shitsters themselves, for me anyway. Their stupid qualities seem a hundred times magnified. Seriously, I could almost FEEL my IQ drop as the scene progressed. ...ditto here...was asking myself if this was the same show which i used to watch twice/ thrice...The mummy aur daddy's awkwardness in the presence of the Bajpayees just because of the so-called zameen-asmaan difference in social status is no reason for them to act plain dumb! It would have been comparatively much better if they had been so petrified infront of THE Shankar Neanderthal Bajpayee that they didn't talk.
Unfortunately, they did. & how, they did.
"How can we possiblity sit infront of Bajpayee ji?"
"How can we eat or drink anything from our in-laws' house?"
"How can we stay at our in-laws' house?"
And the response from Bua Daadi really made me wonder from where these people came from. "Just give 501 rupees to your daughter in exchange. That would be proper enough."
...hey i didnt know so much of crap was shown as i just zipped thru these scenes n watched only the scenes of anya yesday ...r these scenes being handled by a different set of cvs...for when u watch the college n navyas family scenes, u never wud expect such a dragging of silly stone-age prinicples here...
At the end of that scene, all I wanted to do was shove propriety down their throats!😡
The only slight saving grace was Anant & Navya's conversation in the car & on the hilltop. Of course we know that A is in love with N but it actually looks like he misses their friendship & the little things they shared. They actually SPOKE tonight. & we were gifted with a very frank admission on Anant's part, thank the good lord. What I'm wondering is whether Anant stopping by her house was by chance or by some plan to speak to her. I'm hoping that this didn't happen by some 'eery coincidence that was decided by the fates'. (How meaningful!) I believe in destiny, yeah, but I also believe in reality. ...hey no...it was no coincidence...ananth mentioned that he came there to talk to her as she didnt answer his call the previous night...he also said he wudnt have come there had she answered the call...poor kid, he's really confused n lost ...
I wish that Navya would fight a little more. Show some passion. Question things. Doubt things. Her attitude is pretty depressing for both Anant and us. I will give credit to her for this, though. Looks like Miss Mishra has been doing some serious thinking albeit her thoughts being naive.
Just... Somebody save these two. Even if it is with something utterly cliche or corny. Dish out the teen-zindagi-barbaad theory. Anything.
So, basically, the things running through my head:
Send the Banaras parents (hey...no, not just parents, but the shit-sters too...even the dantmanjan waali bhootni...for ananths bro wud be much better off without her n i wish someone really nice comes into his life...hes such a sweet soul, the last thing he deserves on earth is rama) ...back to their beloved Banaras ASAP!
Stick Anant & Navya in a car or on a hilltop permanently. awww, im sure ananth wud have been thinking the same yesday nite after all the lovely things he told navya...n me too wish it wud have happened...n when he held her hand, my thots raced back to panchgani bonfire...those unforgettable anya moments ...n maybe navya too went back there, thats why the talk of whats right n wrong!! poor kid ananth...he fire he ignites in peoples' heart!!!
P.S. To the CVs: I would like a new scene for the car driving on the road. Unless you want me to believe that those people have been walking on that very road wearing the same clothes for the last 60 something(?) days.
ill vote for the same with u...u seem to have said it all...was missing such detailed posts out here on this forum for the past couple of days...all our lovely writers seem to be busy...
Sincerly,
Aimin.
