July 5th ' Genesis Chapter 1 - Guys PR took a leap and it felt like the athletes had leg cramps mid air and landed before their destined mark. Anyways, Kudos to BT and the CVs for their lowly skilled effort at athletics.
Archana Lives Again
Apparently Bombay experiences in PR are limited to trains, platforms, taxis, rickshaws and skyscrapers with the occassional adventure to th ever favourite Suicide Point.
So her opening scene was a prayer to Bappa. Apparently BT CV's are hopeful that while Bappa was totally ineffective in Version 1.0, he too got a second life in Version 2.0.
I feel bad for Archu, her core program is not changed, inspite of the resurrection. She is still beautiful, talented and plagued with mental problems. She floats between psychosis and delusions. I have to say I have developed a deep admiration for women from Bangalore. They seem very friendly to strangers but are also very astute in recognizing dangers that deranged travellers possess. She backed off the minute Archu showed signs of mental instability. Wonder if the hubby call was a front for a call to the nearest nuthouse.
So apparently, Archu's training did not include mental mathematics. First maths question and out came those nimble fingers. Really, Administrative Supervisor???? Hope that involves supervising the book-keeper but not really managing the books.
K's house
Very interesting. Nirmala and Kanta are still alive and kicking. Varsha has seemingly sharpened her cooking skills ' she is taking Archu's place in the kitchen. Sulo misses spicy trouble ' oops manju, apparently the good members of the family are not interesting enough to keep Sulo pleasantly entertained. Bet you she has a secret passion for horror flicks. Apparently without Archu the house is empty ' that is the reason why since marriage she tried every reason in the book to keep getting her back home.
Rim Jhim Ghire Saawan
Apparently, we love the rain so much , we run in the rain with a closed fully functional umbrella. Wah Wah, the things Bangalore has taught us. I mean everyone should have this training. It is doing wonders for Archu's survival. Ok people so there was Basanti on one side and along came Pandu ' dashingly in the rain. He seemed to be seeking something desperately while he drenched away by the second. I hope it was not the bus stop right in front of his face. Usually he seems to run to the chai stall in the rains. Today he seemed to flip some kind of mental coin and ended up at the bus stop.
So with Pandu and Basanti on either side the corny music reached a crescendo. Glad to know that, unlike Pandu (who should have recognized his wife from her profile) the NEW AND IMPROVED Mother India look that Basanti is sporting has not duped the eve-teasers. They are on to the BT trick like rye on bread. She still garners the cat calls and the sleazy look. Anyways, we cannot expect much from Pandu, the Genesis revitalization was limited to the K members. Pandu was denied a promotion. So excuse me but the Archana Manav dialogues are TOOOOOOOOOOOO corny, recycled and absurd to even make a mention. So I will ignore what was said. But guys I was really sad to see that while Bangalore worked great for Archu, the Mumbai weather gave her INSTANT middle ear infection and prescription vision problem. There is no other earthly explanation for her not to have recognized Manav's voice right behind her.
So apparently Manav was not looking for a bus and was not looking to get out off the rain because the minute he dealt with the eve teaser he dove right out of the bus stand and starting chasing umbrellas. Maybe he thought that he was chasing a kite or something who knows?
Archu's arrival at K house was marked by the pavitra risht song. Ok so now she has a pavitra rishta with the K terminus building? Please can this definition be stretched to accommodate any other scenarios and associations?
July 6th
Apparently, Pandu has gone from lowly knight to stalker. The K terminus is his favourite hunting ground. Could that be because he has lost the counsel of my sweetu Tarun and has ended up with these brainless new buddies? One of them gave AWAY the child to a strange yet beautiful lady without realizing that the lady is delusional and a little bit psychotic. Poor Sachin, apparently, even the knowledge of his association with a loony toon was not enough for Pandu to drop the next call and use the standard voicemail service included in his contract. My baby cries occasionally, maybe I too should use Archu's service.
July 7th - No comments
My Satish dominated the epi so there is nothing for me to comment on. He's fab as always
July 8th
K Terminus is actually a hidden franchise of Hard Rock Cafe. The party never stops. These people are constantly moving and grooving. Actually very fun to watch. And I must say, the Gujjus were perfect competition for the Maharashtrians. They kept up and went the whole mile.
Is it me or is Satish really really into his BILs. The bromance thing is very cute and funny. He seems to hug or partner or want to duet with each one of them. Personally I think Satish and Manav make the better couple but Dharmesh has potential. See how sweet my Satish is he does not discriminate based on mental capacity.
Archu's ear infection is worsening. Now she cannot recognize Manav's voice at close quarters in a room that is not plagued with the street noises or the torrential downpour. Maybe its time to use the company's medical benefits plan.
Things I like since the leap
1. All the new songs
2. Dharmesh
3. Dharmesh and Vaishu relationship 'light hearted and fun.
4. Satish and Varsha's new found intimacy
5. Bhavna's absence
6. The K family without Manju and inspite of Archu ' seems really fun and comforting to watch
Things I feel bad about
The D's their entire life seems repetitive and boring. Seems that the rut they dug for themselves has become firmly grounded and they cannot get a foothold out.
Interesting things of note
Shravani's pregnancy hormones seem to have disappeared. She seems to look very good, is apparently proficient in cooking now, has a very comfortable relationship with Manav, seems capable around Sachin and generally accepted by her in-laws. Good going Shravani.
Anyway, guys I tried to keep it funny but it was a challenge from the get go. The scenes without Archu and Manav seem sensible and mildly interesting. Loved seeing Dharmesh and Vaishu dancing at the Sangeet today.
All My Love
Hope
