The way u hv portray nandu is incrediable. Awesome post.
Nandini is nt dat kind of girl who will let out all her agony if given a chance. She will resist it. She dnt want some1 sympathy. She is strong. She cries when she feels d pain bt she never runs away. She wants to end her suffering. when fab5 hd make fun of her. she thought she will leave this place bt when she heard her chacha chachi talking about their problems, her own problem takes a back seat. She helped every1 bcoz she knows the value of kindness. She is all alone when she needs sm1, any1 who cn tell her everything is going to be okay. and she knows the pain when there is no1 so she always try to be there for others.
I cnt see her telling her life story with her own. Thats why her diary hs make a new entry in this show. All her secrets will cm out through them. well its my guess lets see what cv's r planning.

Exactly, Nandini as a person is not used to sharing her problems with any other person. She keeps it within herself and only speaks of them to her Aiyappa or her fireflies. She works hard to never let the mask of "all's well" slip off her face. Yeah, she is always there for others. Maybe it's a reaction to her not having anyone when she was a child? Or she learned it from her family how to be there for someone who is having troubles. Whatever the reason, she has shaped her helpful personality after everything she went through. At this point she doesn't need someone who'd take the burden off her, no. She was never the person who wants someone to fight her battles for her. She can take care of that all on her own. But what I really want her to have is someone who'd acknowledge her struggle and let her know that it's all appreciated. She doesn't even realize how much she needs it.

The diary seems a bit OOC for me, I doubt that it would have all her life's secrets written there. She always shared her secrets with her Aiyappa, so writing them down as well seems a bit..idk, so non-Nandini. But if it has made an entry, it's bound to be a way for others to know what Nandini actually feels about everything.

Mais!! How the hell you manage to write about her so beautifully.

You leave me speechless every time.

I really hope CVs read this. They should read this. 😳

Simple, she's my favorite character and I am so invested in her so words just come tumbling out. 😆

I am always left speechless by your writing.

Mais, I remember Rishabh drawing something in mangalore and Dadi (Amps) found it, not sure if it was a star (will check and come back here).

Me and Genie at midnight is not a very good combo..I go all deep intellectual about fiction whenever these three factors get combined 😆

I don't remember that..I saw the first episode the other day and it's the only episode when they were in Mangalore, then the show permanently shifted to Mumbai. Still, check and tell me..I believe the star thing was made in Mumbai only..

Maisu,beautiful post.

I have seen so many people complain that Nandini is too good but honestly she aint. She has anger issues, we have seen that when prodded too far she can dole it out.

But what Nandini is is a Survivor,she survived a traumatic episode , so traumatic, nothing else is as traumatic for her.It has helped her to learn to compartmentalize and move on, but the trauma remains. We need more insight into this Nandini, we need to understand her trauma, her inner feelings,what makes her tick, we get a read on Manik, but we,need to see the trauma that has shaped Nandini Murthy.

Nandini is a human and no human is too good or too bad. Something in them, even the littlest of it, keeps them real. Shades and layers combined. Nandini is like that as well. She's good and mature but at her first fall, she immediately closed her emotions off and refused to think about the situation logically, refused to acknowledge the other person's reasoning behind his actions. Like every human, she is twisting things to suit herself because she wants to. For some moments of peace, she is looking for something to lay the blame on.

Manik is so open about his feelings and the show heavily focuses on him as well. We know all shades and sides of Manik. The 'whys' behind his actions are so clear to us. But the 'hows' of Nandini are never touched upon. How did she shape herself to be like this? How did she deal with that trauma? We know that to her the night of the accident was the worst, Musicana night comes second to that but only by some points. And she dealt with both the nights. Musicana one I can understand because it was the second night and she's grown up here, but the first night? The night relates as much to Nandini as it does to Rishabh/Dhruv. I know this is not the time for that night to be explored but when it does, Nandini's part in it should also be focused..
