First of all a song for Baby Bear and His Current Condition
"What's Love Got To Do With It" (Tina Turner)

You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that
Oh what's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me
I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way
What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
Baby Bear's Afternoon Woes - What's Love Got to Do With It?
1. No Secretary
Today I felt sorry for the poor girl who was hired and fired within a minute because she dared to touch honey pot's baby bear. Well, it was also baby bear's fault because he is trying to practice his newly learnt manners on new employees wearing short skirts. So the poor girl not only got a lecture on proper clothes (Anjali's lectures have come to some use for Astha), she also got fired. Now Shlokie bear was looking happy at Astha's apparent jealousy, but he is in for a shock because now Astha is going to find a secretary for him. She is going to get a nun from some convent with her hair in bun and long sleeved shirts and long skirts.
2. Spice in Life
Then Shlokie was eagerly waiting for the food that his wife cooked after slaving all morning. Poor bear was in for a shock when he got that spicy food. Even though he is not in love and everything is logical, he ate the food because he does not believe in wasting food. It is another thing that he today was ecstatic about mommy's call to Astha summoning her back home. Other times he used to deliberately make her late when Anjali would order her to come home. But today he was helping her pack and after she left, he prayed to God that such great innovative ideas (of cooking for him) never ever enters honey pot's mind again. And honeypot was expecting a kiss on the hand and those three magical words for cooking this kind of food for him. I have to say that honeypot does live in her own la la land. I almost felt sorry for baby bear for the amount of effort he is making and the risks he is taking (with his stomach - first sasubai and then her darling daughter). But then there was that SR night when he drank that whiskey with so much relish. So eating spicy food and losing a young secretary is a tiny payback for all that.
Astha and Anjali - Soul mates in making??
There is indeed a difference between how Anjali treats Astha and Sojal. Previously it was because of Baba's orders that Astha was getting that importance. But now Anjali is doing it on her own and the reason is Shlok. Anjali cannot do anything for Shlok because he does not allow her in his life. She now knows that Astha would do anything for Shlok and loves him unconditionally. So she is giving leeway to Astha. Today Sojal was jealous that Astha was taking food for Shlok because Sojal has always been jealous of Astha and Shlok's relationship. She got some satisfaction when she thought that Astha would be there for a short time. But now this relationship has strengthened a lot. Hence she tried to stop Astha, but Anjali let her go though the girl putting mehndi was going to arrive in couple of hours.
Sojal of course was right when she complained that she was made to do all the work. She does not get any freedom but is forced to take on all the responsibilities like doing Astha's share of work or welcoming her. So she was right when she said that she needs to go on strike. She does need to do that and also act indifferent towards Varad (maybe develop some other interest); this family neither values daughters nor daughter in laws unless they are needed to control the sons of the family.
Anyway, when Astha comes back late, she did scold her but then became quiet when Astha explained that Shlok was busy in the meeting. Then when Astha was cheekily telling the mehndi girl to put Khadoos on one hand, she just looked up, shook her head at Astha's impudence and then went back to her work - leaving Sojal even more frustrated that Anjali is breaking rules for Astha. What Sojal does not realize is that Anjali is breaking those rules which are for Shlok's benefit. Her kids are her preference - of course after Niranjan for whom she lets them down again and again.
Sojal's insecurity about Astha keeps on increasing especially when she see her own daughter caring for Astha. Kavya does love her mother and told her so too. But Sojal fails to realize that kids respond to love and if given love, return it many fold. Shlok is very rough on edges, yet he is very gentle when it comes to Kavya. So Kavya too cares for him a lot.
Coming back to Astha and Anjali, both have started adjusting to each other. Anjali is becoming more flexible with Astha because Astha also compromised with many of her rules. So there is a relationship budding between them though Astha's chances of becoming Anjali are getting dim day by day (if there were any chances at all). And one of the main reason is Shlok who loves Astha the way she is.
Shlokie's Changing Ways
I have criticized these writers a lot, as they messed up Aditi track so much. But credit has to be given to them on showing these gradual changes in Shlok without changing his basic characterization. Initially, they used to show parallels between him and Niranjan though there were always contrasts too shown at that time. Now they are repeating incidents where Shlok is shown behaving totally different from Niranjan.
Once Anjali too had cooked spicy food for Niranjan and NIranjan had almost hit her, but had stopped when Astha came just in time. Today Astha cooked a very spicy food for Shlok who too does not like it much. But he tolerated the food and did not break Astha's heart by telling her that he did not like her special cooking for him.
As much as Astha's phone calls during his work irritate him, he has got used to her calling him or texting him even if he cuts her phone calls or do not respond to her texts. So today he was missing not getting her text messages or phone calls. Probably in his retaliation, he came late and also decided to eat out. Then when he came home to see Astha waiting for him with her hands full of mehandi, he realized the reason for her non-calls. Then he was embarrassed at his own assumptions and was looking somewhere when Astha told him that he did not even call her once.
He also did his usual bickering with her and he was quite logical at one point when he questioned what was the relation between the color of mehandi and his love for Astha. But then when he realized the importance of dark color for Astha, he silently walked out and brought the food for her. Since he has not done this type of work before, he brought her a lot of food. So once he had called her an outsider. Today he was telling her that it was her house and kitchen and she could do whatever she wanted to do there. Does Astha even realize how much Shlok has changed and how much he considers her an insider now.
He being an introvert, was then looking very sheepish by bringing the food because he knew Astha's reaction. Astha of course reacted with excitement at this consideration and then was fluttering her eye lashes to make him feed her. She was very cute in that scene and in all scenes.
And Finally,
Jyoti - Another Kalindi in making
Kalindi being the person she is, would have helped Jyoti anyway. Then she is Astha's sister in law is another reason for being extra caring. But it is more than that. Just as Astha and Anjali's relationship is going to another level, so is Kalindi and Jyoti. Kalindi has an empty nest and she got a daughter in Jyoti who reminds her of young Kalindi - the one who was helpless and was given asylum by Ajju and Avdhoot.
So Kalindi is seeing an image of her in Jyoti - the same abuse she endured, determination to protect her daughter and give her a life full of freedom and a new joy in Jyoti now that she is out of her abusive environment. So Kalindi has actually forgotten everything about how this is all going to impact Astha. Initially, it had occurred to me that Kalindi was hiding Jyoti from Astha because she wanted to protect Astha's interests. But it is more than that. She is protecting Jyoti more than now Astha.
Jyoti too has found a type of mother who is giving her care and attention she never received in her own life. Today her real hurt came out when she talked about preferential treatment given to Shlok and Varad. Both Shlok and Varad are very pampered and experts in playing victims where they fail to see other people's sufferings. They need to see Jyoti who despite all the disappointments and abuses in life is happily looking forward to whatever chance life is offering her. For that reason, it was poetic justice that she found Siddhart and through him Kalindi. She deserves all the care and pampering Ajju and Kalindi are giving her. But Kalindi is playing with fire when she is not taking Astha and Shlok into confidence. Whatever Shlok's faults, he will not leave his sister alone and he would not let anything happen to his niece.
But it is good that Jyoti is staying with strong Kalindi. She is going to need her strength to fight Abhay. He is still her nemesis and it is not easy for a victim to face her abuser. She needs to become strong before she confronts Abhay once and for all.
Jyoti and Siddhart - Future Kalindi and Avdhoot
Finally, Sid showed up today and both talked about missing each other. Jyoti and Sid have become very close - it is not yet love but it is friendship and something more. Kalindi who was bringing tea for Jyoti stopped and looked at Sid and Jyoti's comfort level with each other. She would be probably the first one to notice their affection for each other. She too got a second chance with Avdhoot and she would want Jyoti to have another chance with someone nice - Sid. I do like how Sid makes Jyoti feel so comfortable. Just as Avdhoot makes tea for Kalindi, Sid sits at Jyoti's feet.
After months of torture that the CVs showed from Abhay on Jyoti, it is good to see her getting love and attention, and also proper advice. Kalindi told her very appropriately that she need not care if others do not celebrate her daugther, she should be happy for her daughter. And that was a right advice. The happiness does not come from being dependent on others' reaction. It comes from within. But Jyoti is not alone feeling happy about her unborn daughters. Now there are others who are equally happy for her and with her. Ajju was very sweet when she told Jyoti that she would soon become great grandmother through Jyoti. So Jyoti's daughter has already got a lot of people caring for her even before she has come into the world - Ajju, Kalindi, Sid and soon Avdhoot. But can CVs mention anything about Avdhoot? This is the problem with these writers. They do somethings brilliantly, but they are very careless in showing details and end up leaving loopholes though those loopholes can easily be explained in couple of lines.
Anyway, except for the lack of explanation for absence of Avdhoot, everything else was perfect in today's episode. Avinash and Shrenu are doing a great job and both have great comic timing and do work in sync. The direction was as usual beautiful.
