tried banana fritter today, turned out very good...consistency was bit thin so had to add some pancake flour to thicken....I made them as pan cakes, was it supposed to be deep fried?

kool, we are watching Hindi serial and we are watching drama so we should not expect practical ways Manav should handle his garage problem, Vandu's dowry etc and do balance sheet on his income and expenditure. Everything shown should be taken as where the story is leading and at face value, whats not shown in serial is immaterial . This is a story and if creatives are painting Shravani petty to glorify Archana then Shravani is petty, why then try to justify her when she is wrong? No . Creatives r trying to paint Shravni petty but to viewers like me she comes across as normal and practical . Someone who is not a goddess but has human failings and weaknesses and also human emotions of desire and love . She makes mistakes , asks questions to GOd Manav and I like that . Coz in my opinion , boy , Manav needs some serious questioning . No problem if the main percentage ogf viewership views this questioning as sacrilege and gets shocked . There is a small percentage like me who enjoy his discomfiture . His bigamy , his lousy financial management , his quiet observance of Archna's vile abuse by Savita makes him a LOUSY LEAD . My opinions need not blend in with what creatives r trying to paint at all . And neither is expressing them 'justifying her when she is wrong' coz I really do believe she is NOT WRONG ........it is no justification on my part at all . Premarital sex happens , pregnancies unplanned happen , falling out of love quickly also happens , jealousies r natural , practical POVs exist all around . When the creatives painted Archana they painted a larger than life character ......when they painted Shravni they painted a HUMAN character . And I cannot hate someone so human ........it is so simple . BTW , why shud we not expect Manav to handle his garage problem practically ? I didnt quite understand this . I dont mind seeing him LOSING in his efforts but at least there shud be some EFFORTS on his part to save his garage ? Like phoning frantically and telling Girish ? Or frequenting the in charge offices or trying to find a lawyer , trying to arrange finances for it ? FFs r being written on Manav ..he is the lead hero , why shud we not expect him to show basic practical sense ? Instead we see him HIding the problem......doing NOTHING.......then running off to sasural to shop with ladies and serve sherbets and tell his friend Tarun TUM KUCH KARO and ultimately the problem is solved due to Satish's goodness , he was not even aware of it ? That means ever since garage closed he is not even visiting it . Ok show him losing , that his efforts did not pay off and Archnas one effort did pay off as Archu is lucky for him ......chalega , but at least show SOMETHING ? But the creatives paint him shamefully at times and I dont see why we shud simply accept it or like it . This same Hindi serial shows characters like Varsha , Satish , Vinod , who r good but practical too . I agree that to be aRMAN they need to be larger than life but hey , in the process dont make them look STUPID please is all i say . Coz good people dont have to be STUPID .

I know Shravani didn't know about garage problem thats why I asked when she came to know what did she so? What big thing Archana did is that she is constantly with Manav and is genuinely worried about his affairs where as we don't see Shravani showing same concerns. Regards to Shravani being civil to Vandu and not talking back when she called her ungrateful can also be interpreted as Shravani finding herself guilty when for once someone pointed her mistakes to her. You urself said.......that which is not shown is immaterial .We have no way of knowing if Shravni assumed that Girish and Manav were talking about it so she merely kept quiet . Expecting her to run around llike Archiu in her pregnancy is not right . If ur interpreting that she found herself guilty when sumone once pointed out her mistakes to her and so was silent , its ur POV . I see it as partial . She knows all along that she is not exactly right when she talks badly to Archu . The thing is she can't help herself , she badly wants to have this cat fight with Archu coz she is so so jealous and insecure . So she keeps prodding Archu to respond , who in turn frustrates her with her calmess . From inside Shravni knows perfectly well that by normal measurements , her behaviour will be construed as ungrateful only .Hence we see her asking Archu , why r u doing all this ?what r u getting by being so good , mahaanta ? In the episode where Archu took care of her . This means Shravni knows Archu is good and picks up these fights coz Archus goodness is her biggest emotional enemy . What Vandu pointed out to her , she already kNOWS . This is part of her silence .The other part is , she is not such a mean person that she wants to hurt Vandu and have the last word by effectively flinging hER ungratefulness in HER face by saying this is my personal matter , we all know how u slapped the very person who saved u to appease ur saas . Shravni doesnt say it coz Vandu is Manavs sister and she loves Manav . Shravni also did NOT answer Savita back in the wedding when Savita told her I can guarantee u Archu is not trying to take Manav away .........by saying Oh yeah ?but it was u who drilled it in my head that Archu was all the time doing precisely that only .So quickly u have forgotten ! This answer to Savita was well justified but NOT given by Shravni as in her own way , she respects Manavs family for Manavs sake . But viewers hate her , dislike her so they read her differently .

Btw from tomorrow .......I only watch her as she slowly turns vamp . Process has started .😊
