Nice Post Leo 👍🏼
Sorry for the delay. Too much work today.
Note to CVs:
You dont have to go to extremes.
- First with Mani's nagging, but uneventful presence.
- then with Ishita's new-found affinity for Mani.
- then the rock bottom that Mihika's 'sting' operation hit
- then with Ishita's race for the dumbest-selfless person in the world.
- then the male lead's disappearance(!). Frankly, in all the WU I have read in a long time, the only thing I seem to read is Raman thanked Ishita for fixing his life or was crying. (except for a split second yesterday). Don't get me wrong. Ishita is the best thing that has happened to Raman after a LONG time. But I wouldnt want him thanking her in every episode.
- and now with the child's villain-giri...
Note to other fellow ranters:
Sorry, I was too busy today to discuss the episode.😳
*****************************************
A special mention to your line about Adi's viciousness and Ishita's pain. I will look at it very practically.
- Children have become more world-wise than the time when I was a child. I met my best friend's daughter (7 years old, in Mumbai), who I had seen as a baby. She wasnt shy, she spoke confidently. She showed me a logo game she had started playing and asked me for a couple of hints. She isn't someone who is a genius or anything, just a regular kid. I remember feeling amazed at her confidence and the knowledge she has about brands (not just Indian but American too).
If we can see a child learn good things in this world, how can we not imagine Adi, a 12 year old, living in a boys hostel for a long time, coming from a broken family, and having a manipulative mother not learn bad things? I remember watching an old movie (Rockford) where children in a boys hostel. If anyone's seen it, I think they would know what I mean.
Honestly, what Adi did doesnt seem too shocking to me. I expected them to show us a monologue of Adi, but I was surprised he exposed his intentions to Ishita so soon. I am NOT condoning what he did, but I am not outraged at his actions. I think it is quite possible to meet someone like him in real world. not every 12 year old from a broken family turns out like this, but he has a higher probability of turning delinquent.
- About what Ishita is facing. I do agree that someone with a good heart doesn't deserve it. But what she should learn from this (without going into a martyr mode from hero mode) is that she was too blinded by her own emotions. Agreed, she didn't expect this from Adi. But what was she thinking sheltering Shagun??? Shagun could have easily done this to her, and worse. I want Ishita to realise that just because she is good doesn't mean everyone is. The worst part is, with Shagun, Ishita has been reminded time and again of Shagun's true nature. But Ishita has to learn and a jolt is needed.

Get back to work🤢
