Late Review
Wonderful reviews Sush, Minnu, Tenn & Shweta your katha-filled collages!
Two quotes that are relevant to yesterday's episode -
My own funda "There is always something good that comes out of a bad situation"
Another one "Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys"
Intervention it was and a fast-track wala...This is what Ashish meant when he said RR is "Snip Snip Snip" just like in the movies...
No doubt recollecting good old memories could have happened a day later or so...
First things first The Man was looking hotter than ever...Shweta...having a field day...
It seems the man is Glowing In Love...and why not when you have a woman who does not fail to remind every second moment that she loves you like crazy...
Now two things that got to me during the Rudra-Mala-Dilsher face-off...
One Dilsher avoids telling Rudra how he treated his mother. There was fear over what Rudra can do to him were he to speak about it. No julm kiya aap ke maa par...nothing of that sorts...another escapist...confirmed Ranawat trait!!
Two when Rudra said to his mother, why did you not make an extra effort to take me along? And I was like...thank goodness she did not...Imagine what Rudra would have turned out to be under the guidance of a step-father like Tejawat. Rudra (crazy about guns) picks one today to save the lives of people. Had Mala to take him with her he would have turned out to be most ruthless killer in town...would we have got a BSD officer ever? (this is where my funda applies... always look for the positive in every negative situation).
And the other scene when Paro tells Rudra once again That she loves him like crazy..Here is a man who's mother's love wasn't strong enough to seek him out. And the father who loved him for his own selfish reasons making Rudra his human crutch. Whereas here was a woman who was showering him with so much of selfless love and did not hesitate to tell him so...He was overwhelmed, I could actually feel his heart swell with gratitude...
The second quote applies to the fast-track intervention...
We all have fall-outs with our close relatives and friends and drift apart. Especially the ones that were close to once upon a time...and then as we grow older and wiser we realize we need to forgive and connect back, it could be during a festival, wedding or funeral...what do we do? We recollect all those happy times because that is what heals... they work as balm...
Hugs

I put this up as a post but MODS might just shut it down...
An article that ran on MSN India - Mind you these soaps top the TRP charts....
I have shared this article though its got nothing to do with out show, yet wanted viewers to know what sells...and what doesnt!
RR did not really show violence in the DIlsher-Mala FB...Sadly sometimes PH takes a stand about something which goes against TRP viewers choice!

Wife-beating: New TRP mantra for TV soaps?
It seems TV content is getting regressive by the day. After saas-bahu sagas, now TV shows like second season of 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?...Ek Baar Phir' and 'Doli Armaano Ki' are capitalising on domestic violence to get eyeballs
Star Plus
'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?...Ek Baar Phir' is beamed at 6 p.m. on STAR Plus and 'Doli Armaano Ki' comes at 10.30 p.m. on ZEE TV.
Set in the patriarchal set-up, 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?...Ek Baar Phir' has the most horrific scenes where the head of the family - Niranjan Agnihotri, a character played by actor Manish Wadhwa - is often shown beating his subservient wife Anjali (Geetanjali Tikekar), either with a stick or a belt if she fails to carry out his orders.
If that's not enough, the story also shows how Niranjan, who hides and manipulates the truth about himself, uses his wife to impose his regressive set of rules and undermine his family members behind their back.
At the centre of this web of deceit are also his two sons, daughter, daughters-in-law and granddaughter.
In case anyone of them falters, Anjali has to bear the consequences - she is beaten black and blue. Submissive Anjali accepts it as her fate a la many women, who are mistreated in our male-dominated society.
It is humiliating and shameful to be beaten by your husband, but not on this show.
The role of women of the family is just restricted to the kitchen and they have no say in any of the matters of their lives or family.
Their job is to obey the rules set by him; the more disturbing part in the show is that they have no right to celebrate, not even their birthdays.
Why? Because according to Niranjan Agnihotri, women are insignificant and they should seek happiness in the joys of their husbands or fathers or brothers.
Except for his wife and youngest daughter-in-law Aastha (Shreenu Parikh), the rest of the family has no inkling of his true personality.
Atrocious!
If Niranjan Angnihotri unleashes his terror in the garb of a loving and doting husband and parent, Samrat Singh Rathore, played by Mohit Malik in 'Doli Armaano Ki', openly abuses his spouse.
The worst example of a male chauvinist and a slippery character, Samrat gets sadistic pleasure in terrorising his family members, especially his wife Urmi (Neha Marda).
If anyone tries to cross him, the penalty could be frightening.
In the show, set in Jhansi, the character of Samrat, who constantly cheats on his wife, tries to have an upper hand by demoralising, terrorising, insulting and bullying her.
Her status is no more than of a doormat and if she ever dares to do something without Samrat's permission, he makes a savage attack on her.
Due to his savage behaviour, Urmi has lost her confidence and has accepted his brutalities as her fate. Not surprising!
Even her son Shourya has started following his father's footsteps and shows no respect to her, something not unheard of in our country where often a male child is not disciplined or restricted.
In the ongoing sequences, Urmi decides to follow her dream and joins a dance class without informing Samrat, a development that leaves him raging like a bull.
And in Samrat's words, to teach her a lesson, he plants a guy in the dance class who starts bothering and following Urmi and one day he lands at her place and proposes to her in front of the whole family.
While Urmi is numb with shock, Samrat is having the last laugh as he has succeeded in stopping her from pursuing her dream against his wishes.
Even if Samrat's brother or father tries to reason with him, they find themselves at the receiving end of his vindictive persona.
There's another show - 'Ek Hasina Thi', in which a character who plays the vice chancellor of a college beats his wife because she dares to question him about his womanising ways.
What is the point in showing such male bullies?
According to National Crime Records Bureau, the rate of crime committed against women was 41.7 percent in 2012, a rise of 6.8 percent over 2011 and by 24.7 percent over 2008.
The violent domination is not restricted to just one stratum of society!
If on one hand the country witnessed the Nirbhaya case, on the other hand we have Bollywood actress and businesswoman Preity Zinta who has filed a written complaint of molestation against her ex-beau and business partner Ness Wadia.
Why shouldn't timid women folk instead be taught to keep bullies off them?
Something like Channel V's 'Heroes', which celebrates real heroes fighting against sexual assault or harassment or UTV Bindass' 'Halla Bol', which encourages girls to be fearless and fight back.
'Sadda Haq - My Life My Choice', which is aired on Channel V, has a positive and constructive story, which shows how the protagonist Sanyukta Aggarwal (Harshita Gaur) not only fights with her father and brother to fufil her engineering dream but also takes on her classmate Randir Singh Shekhawat (Param Singh) by proving herself at every step.
It's time to encourage women power instead of showing them as second-class citizens who are subjected to domestic violence if they dare to disagree with their male counterpart.
