I'm posting my thoughts on today's episode here. My view may not always be pleasant and I don't want to spoil anyone's mood. But at the same time I value my freedom very much. So I decided to post a warning sign, for people who stumble upon this post, so that they know what to expect.
I'll post one of these symbols on top of my view on the episode everyday. So that people with delicate constitutions can avoid strong ones and read only pleasant ones
Danger Caution Pleasant

Tom and Jerry cannot stand each other and they tell each other how they cannot wait to go their separate ways. We believe you! In another corner of the Agnihotri house Niranjan tells Anjali that he wants Aastha and Shlok to be together forever and he will not tolerate any interference from Anjali. Anjali, ever dutiful... dasi(servant), obeys his orders.
As always, Aastha and Shlok start their morning with a nice spicy argument. Today's topic for argument is "financial status and mode of transportation".
Aastha tells Anjali that she finished most of the household chores and will do the rest after returning from work. Sensible. She understood that she cannot go to work at 1:30 pm everyday and blame it on saasubai or autowala. Good. Anjali, oh so generously, tells Aastha that Sojal will take care of the household chores and she need not worry about them anymore. Shlok got the shock of his life, Anjali being nice to her bahu. Niranjan, who was looming over Anjali and watching all the drama instructs Shlok to take Aastha along with him in his car as they are going to the same office. Dutiful son obeys... or did he?
Maharani Aastha starts getting comfortable in the car and shlok tells her not to think that she is 50% owner of the car. She is in the car just because of his baba. Car magically stops in the middle of the road. Maharani Aastha doesn't want to push the car but she doesn't know how to drive either. Shlok 'sweetly' encourages her to use some elbow grease and push the car. Aastha finally manages to push the car. Instead of rewarding her for her hardwork, 'meanie' Shlok irritates her by not letting her sit in the car. Aastha gets angry and takes an auto to the office. A practical lesson in "financial status and mode of transportation". Shlok baba ki jai ho! So, did Shlok listen to baba or not? Absolutely adored this scene.
Aastha's woes don't end there. At the office too, Aastha has to share the 'kaybin' with Mr. Shlok Agnihotri and there is no mention of 'Aastha' in the name plate. Shlok again tells her 'sweetly' that she needs someone 24/7 by her side to correct her blunders. Office peon presents her with an opportunity to get back at Shlok, red roses. She gets the 'kaybin' decorated with red roses inspite of the peon's fears. Shlok goes crazy seeing the red roses and he smashes all the vases. Aastha doesn't really enjoy this 'getting back at Shlok' idea in the end.
Sojal and Jaya discuss about 'sour grapes'.
The peon who got into trouble because of Aastha is worried about going into Shlok's den. So he asks Aastha madam to get his signature on some file. Aastha comes to know that Shlok is not behind Avdhoot arrest. She feels guilty. She approaches Shlok for the sign but he acts irritated. But he gets a call from a friend(?!) and he becomes cheerful all of a sudden. Aastha is curious.
precap: Aastha talks to Kalindi.
Loved today's episode. One more little step ahead today in terms of story and some growth in Aastha. Loved their silly fights. I have nothing to complain today.😊
