Yeah Teju I can vouch for Lord Shiva of DKDM being the most handsome and apt actor to play the role..Do watch-read spiritual books..Baal swaroop Rama and Krishna stories to be precise.
As Ashi22 mentioned stop watching PR LOL...May be I should take that advice too but aadat se majboor

My dear Tejaswini,

I like your name very much as it is, and so I do not intend to call you Teju!

May I not just second Varsha's and Kool's recommendations for your reading and listening list, but also amplify on their recommendation of Devon ke Dev Mahadev? You cannot go wrong with it, as I found out after Varsha very kindly introduced me to it about 3 months ago. To say that it is a splendid show would be an understatement. I am hooked on it now and so is my mother, who is irritated beyond bearing by PR. I should add that in general, I am not given to watching mythologicals, except for the old Mahabharata in the late 1980s, when you were probably not ever born.

Lord Shiva is a true triumph of casting, not just very handsome, but with a tall, imposing presence, majesty and nobility personified, very subtle shifts of expression on an aloof, dignified face, and a deep voice that is the best I have heard in a very long time. Parvati is statuesque and regally beautiful. Most of the time she has a serenity that matches that of Mahadev, but at times you see the fire and anger of Durga Parameshwari. If you want a real true blue love story, you have just watch her scenes with Mahadev. You will forget about Arjun and Purvi and all the other such pairings that you might have ever seen on TV. They barely touch each other, but their eyes speak volumes.

Unless your MIL is going to continue to make DVDs for you, you can catch up on about 3 weeks' episodes every Saturday. Today, for example, they are showing 10 full hours of DKDM, from 10 am to 8 pm. You just have to record it in you TIVO,or whatever they call it nowadays, and watch it at leisure. Just make sure you do not watch so late into the night as Kalapi does, at this time, you need your beauty sleep!

Now they are coming to the clash between Kartikeya and Ganesha and the competition between them for going 3 times around the world faster than the other. Ganesha simply goes 3 times around his parents as poor Kartikeya is racing around the globe on his peacock. It was one of my nani's favourite stories. Kartikeya is very widely worshipped in Tamil Nadu as Murugan, which is what they call him here as well. The serial seems to be having remarkably good TRPs on a regular basis, spiking in the special i hour episodes to as high as 8.2.

Happy viewing!

PS: A somewhat distracting titbit that was passed to me just yesterday is that the actress who plays Parvati, Sonarika Bhadoria, is apparently the real life girlfriend of the Soham of PR, Ankit Narang.This was rather surprising, for she is made to look very regal and mature in DKDM, but I suppose in casual clothing, she would look much younger, as in one of the photos on Ankit's FB page which was also sent to me. But she looks far lovelier as Parvati.

This show is getting more and more ridiculous. manav has selective memory, ovi has an excellent wardrobe of clothes and booze, purvi has no manners, teju will soon have her own love triangle, arjun has chronic depression and onir has just lost it. and I have a set of dvds my MIL burnt for me of devon ke dev mahadev (i have never watched it before). i am going to take great dr. onir's advice 😆 and divulge my time on something spritual-watch DKDM. if its true that my baby sees what i see and that effects their personality and development, hopefully my baby will be more like mahadev or mata parvati rather than like the crappy hindi serial characters i spend time watching. win win.

Varsha,

What an ultra resourceful girl you are! I do not know how to paste photos here, being technologically challenged, and I would not have known where to find such a very nice photo at that. Thanks ever so much!

I am glad to see that Sonarika is decently dressed, something very rare these days, when clothes seem to be worn only to avoid the censors.

Affectionately,

Shyamala

You are Violating Rule Number #6

super likes varsha di...today i could say manav has a nerveless tongue...what nonsense he was talking...manav was guilt for not trusting dayan, and chudail was listening to conversation...

archu didn't leave any chance to hurt varsha, and she always said she cares for varsha...same path purvi is in and purvi is do kadam aage, she creates the plans to hurt ovi and then she tells she is caring for ovi...

as i told before, onir is just pallu ka kuthha for purvi...

i didn't understand the funda why onir is sending arjun to hyderabad...anyhow onir wants to listen to mishti, and tyagasheeli mishti will do anything for her bahan ovi... i just felt whole funda of sending arjun to hyd is so that onir don't see the eye-lockings of arjun-purvi...

and from precap, ovi is getting some pain and onir will enter...he doesn't want to treat ovi but mishti will do geethopadesham for him and reminds him of obgyn duties and he will agree to treat ovi...

from the leap i have a question...why they were trying to search for Dr.Onir from 6 months...ovi was just 22 weeks preggo, and obviously they wii not know about preggo till 5-6 weeks, and complications might not have started immediately, and how come noone knows the world famous obgyn is from kolkatta and why they never visited kolkatta to find about him before...

i am sure now purvi will be behind punni again to uncover her Mr.Malik story...

CVs are making length of purvi's preggo to beat the length of elephant preggo...

all i could say from PR is, they all are immatured to handle relationships, marriages, pregnancies and kids-parvarish...

Thanks a lot, Varsha. I will try it out with some photo, and if I get stuck, why then I will send an SOS and you can bail me out!

Thank you for you recommendations to all my dear friends in this forum. I absolutely LOVE DKDM. I saw the first two episode yesterday and it was unbelievable- both an artistic, aesthetic and spiritual success. the sombre mahadev is really impressive in all respects. I have to say though the girl playing sati was wonderful. Has she been in anything else? This is the first time I watched something with Shiv (the husband) and he didnt fight with me about the crap i watch. he actually watched it with me. even said the sati character reminded him of me. (he wishes i was that good. hahaha). Shyamala I will look up the 80's mahabharat. My only issue with old hindi serials is how caricature like the characters look and the graphics (my half-brother is a film major in college so film quality pickyness runs in the family. haha).

Also could I ask for some advice? I dont really have a lot of older women in my life or even women who have been pregnant...im actually the first in my friend circle to have a kid let alone be pregnant a second time and aai has only one kid- me and she barely had this problem. I have been having a really difficult time with morning sickness and nausea pills are not really good for the baby. doctors in the US are useless about home remedies. could anyone suggest me something?

Thank you so much everyone!

But Masti, Arjun tells Onir too that he is going to Hyderabad for a conference, adding that Onir had earlier told him he knew a good doctor there who could treat Ovi and could he have the details. So I think he is really going there for a conference. But of course this does not invalidate your conclusions about the impact of this move on the story.

And as for the terminal incompetence of Ovi's parents, they are the most feckless lot I have ever seen. As I have written to Kalapi on another thread, if I had been Ovi's mother, I would have taught her how to get what she wants, including Arjun, and this without any stress or strain. But the problem is that she only has a useless mother who does nothing but sing Purvi's praises.

However, after what Purvi was saying to herself in the last episode, I no longer feel that she is at all interested in leaving Onir.

I am not sure shyamala that arjun shares correct information with ovi...arjun might have thought if he tells to ovi that he is going to hyd to meet a doctor whom onir suggested, then ovi might get panicked again, so he didn't tell truth to ovi...

and why they are delaying treating Ovi's condition, manav/arjun could afford anything...and the situation they have shown last week was like ovi is really in bad condition with weak womb...just taking medicine is not a solution all the time, patient needs peace of mind...

I don't think Onir is sending Arjun to Hyderabad. Arjun tells Ovi he has to go there for an important conference, and then it is he who calls Onir and asks for the contact particulars of a good doctor in Hyderabad.

As far as we were shown today, Onir has nothing to do with the Hyderabad angle; it was strictly at Arjun's initiative.
