Well, my dear gals,
Kool is spot on as usual, but I have become tired of raging at PR, so I have lodged my tongue firmly in my cheek for the one below. See how you like it.
Shyamala
Let us move away from all this frustration and acute irritation with the goings on in PR, and take a hatke look at today's episode. The highlights were as follows:
-Purvi and Onir are moving further on the jeevansaathi track, which is apparently going to be played out next on the pavements of Mumbai. The key motto for the CVs now seems to be (this came up first at the 1000th episode shindy) Jaise ArMan, waise PuNir.
So Purvi, after having stretched the truth to the breaking point by telling her alarmingly uncomplaining spouse that Kahin na kahin, yeh sab meri wajah se hua hai(??!!??) , adds with great determination that she will live wherever he lives, even if it is on the pavements, but she will NEVER leave him. She then clinches this saintly declaration by putting her head on his chest, whereupon he embraces her rather tentatively, poor chap. He is probably wondering what worse fate awaits him next.😉
At this point, there was a great crash, accompanied by a sound of a multitude of fragile objects breaking. It took me a minute to make out that these were thousands of hearts breaking. No need to mention the provenance of the aforesaid hearts.
To drive the point home, Varsha then turns up and states unequivocally that Onir and Purvi reminded her of her Archu tayi and her Manav jeeju, stressing that they had been there for each other when the whole family was against them, and had triumphed. She concludes by adjuring them to always be with each other no matter what.
At this point, I could hear sounds like broken glass being trodden underfoot.
Purvi and Onir leave the K chawl, after having fitted all their earthly belongings into half of one carry bag (it is undoubtedly equipped with Hermione's Undetectable Extension Charm) , in stately slow motion, while in the distance. Sulochana aaji gives a passable imitation of a goldfish.
- Ovi is haunted by the crying of a non-existent Pari. She might well have gone to the Kirloskar mansion and cuddled her if Manav had not mucked things up by preaching to her about the need for her to accept Pari, and forgive Arjun for her sake. Her reaction could have been predicted by anyone with and IQ of 60+. Manav's is apparently 59. She promptly announces that she is resuming her modelling career.
While I was getting ready to clap at this, she surfaces at the Kirloskar mansion, where the 'top businessman' has not been able to locate a decent nanny as yet. Hearing the baby's wails, she races upstairs and picks her up and ticks off the butler for leaving Pari alone. I thought that it was all in the bag and mamta,even udhar ki mamta, so to speak, had triumphed.
But I had counted without the distilled idiocy of Arjun Kirloskar, who turns up most inopportunely just as Ovi is rocking the baby back to calm. The interesting thing here is that Pari recognises Ovi and quietens down at once.
,
Any man with an ounce of commonsense would have made himself scarce and allowed the rebonding process to proceed undisturbed. But not our AK, oh no! He materialises next to Ovi like a jack in the box, and tells her that he knew she would come back as she would not be able to stay away from Pari. Boom!
Ovi puts Pari back on the bed and storms out with her bag, after announcing in no uncertain terms that
(a) she would never accept him or Pari, the nishaani of his mahaan pyaar with Purvi ( variation she produces after he protests against her initial, and technically accurate description of the baby as naajaayaz), and that he could get either an ayah or Purvi to care for the baby
(b) that if anything was naajaayaz in all this, it was Arjun's rishta with herself, and he could end it any time he wanted to, and that
(c) she was restarting her modelling career.
AK, having mucked things up with his usual felicity, was left with Pari, who had started bawling again. His problem is that he started drooling over her big time only after he learnt about her maternal lineage, so Pari has not had enough time to soak in all this extra doses of paternal affection. She is used only to Ovi, who was always carrying her around like a mother bear with her cub. So she stopped crying when Ovi picked her up, and once Ovi left, Pari started where she had left off.
The banner under the frames announced that Pari will be kidnapped, but the candidate of choice for the kidnapper is not yet clear. It might be Ovi seeing that she hears the (non-existent) baby's wailing even in her sleep. But then what of the modelling career?
Arjun will immediately go looking, not for Pari but for Purvi, to cry on her shoulder. In this quest, he will be handicapped by his not knowing on which pavement in Brihanmumbai she and her spouse are currently parked.
Much excitement obviously awaits us, and I for one am holding my breath in anticipation!!😉
I hope the above was at least a bit more entertaining than PR!!
