Hello folks, i have much to say today, or rather rant really. this story is just...what else is new, evil wins, great intelligent people become 'good' and stupid, lovers (idk if i can even bare to call love as per indian tv love at all) separate over poppy cock, evil third wheelers take center stage, this story pretty much has lost all sense of direction and is your run in the mill hindi soap running on scintillating distance romance (the famous eye-lock of hindi tv) and negativity. but atleast they're partially true to their tagline- koi nikhar jaata hain toh koi bikhar jaata hain, kuch kirdar bikhar gaye aur kuch kirdar nikharte nikharte bikhar gaye.
yesterday sneha just crashed and what amaya said about her was 100% #truth, I was under the misconception that she's a strong woman but really other than jharoing bhashans about benarasi sanskaars that she'd never bothered giving her children as kids and hiding from reality under the guise of rishi's parivaar she hasn't really done ANYTHING at all. it seems to me that she was DAMNED lucky to have had rishi in her life to take care of all her mistakes, as a girl she fudged up and got preggers and then as rishi's wife she probably did what rich housewives do and post his death she moped, yelled at her children and hid from her dad and dev. if she'd been a tough and conscious woman, she'd have known about rishi's burden, she'd have been doing a job, she'd be protecting her children instead of them protecting her, she'd have told her father the reality of the 21st century and that she may not have sons but she has her daughters and they're mathurs not chaubeys and can run on their own money- rishi has raised capable children who don't need to be financially dependent on their grandfather, they can support themselves and their mother. i still don't understand why they need to live under one roof, eat in one house everyday and act like a joint family. i grew up with my grandparents but my parents had a separate family life, even after the divorce my mother lived separately with me and my brother even though i spent most of the time at my grandparents' home and she certainly didn't rely on my aazuba's money for living expenses or for my aaji to cook in order to feed her children. and here the mathurs have only met the chaubeys, why must they change their whole lifestyle to live with them? some barriers are necessary in order to maintain filial relationships and sneha needed to draw that. given her children time and space to experience their grandparents and cousin and all. but no, her co-dependance must be catered to. she's so desperate for male shelter in her life that she'll be anything they ask her to be as long as they give her shelter. its SHOCKING.
now coming to amu, as much as i loved her maha dialogues yesterday, she's becoming a hindi serial heroine. long bhashans about progressive ideals and regressive actions in practice. idk i lived in kolkata and mumbai so i thought wearing western clothes were pretty normal in india now but apparently our massy trp aunties can't connect to girls who aren't the salwar suit types. i wouldnt have such a problem with amu's wardrobe if it wasn't a huge part of who she was- she may have accepted benaras with an open heart but that doesn't change that she's a modern fashionista with mumbai and paris in her. maturing doesn't mean that girl needs to go, accepting benaras doesn't mean mumbai and paris have to go. loving mantu doesn't mean amu has to go. i was really liking amu's wardrobe post her realization of love cos it was still western fashionista but a bit more toned down to suit benerasi sensibilities. when the show started, i thought she'd shine, she'd be a visionary and bring the development of mumbai and paris to benaras. that she and mantu would fall in love as they work towards the betterment of benaras. the girl in a dress and heels who stands at the ghat, thats the girl whose story i signed up to watch, not this serial ki heroine to whom nowadays nothing other than her benarasiya pyaar and an unnecessary promise seem to matter. now even that I'm beginning to doubt. who the hell is uma to her? clearly someone whose more important than mantu, if mantu really comes second to uma on amu's really confused list of priorities, then idk what to say.
now mantu, i thought he was smart and confident and progressive but he's becoming duller by the minute. the moral of every serial- have an arranged marriage because love apparently turns you into an A1 idiot. today when he was like amaya being here is fate and uma said its by chance, i was like what the hell is the difference between fate and chance?!? the occurrence of an event with slim probability or chance...thats fate. and mantu just mundi hilaoed. W*F. any intelligent person would be like- kismat chance ekhi baat hain uma, I'm going to go to her. but no. again uma ki promise. if really promises made at the altar of uma devi are more important to ManYa than each other then its better they forget about it. mantu should just marry uma. according to the cvs its better to marry someone whose obsessed with you than someone who JUST loves you, may be they're right- excuse me while i go file for a divorce and call up some ex-love interests who had obsessive crushes on me, aka the marry my stalker program. mantu's character has lost it. he was too insanely cool, i was sure he'd be a fun lover, not this boring under confident fool taking love advice from UMA of all people. other than being a constantly discouraging best friend with very little like for amu, she has no experience in this field that he knows of, so why? and don't give me the bff stuff. thats like me asking my one night stand expert best friend to give me advice on how to handle my marital tiff.
im not even gonna go into the GC and dev and rudra, the buddha and befitoor ka avenger are a BIG YAWN. i don't even watch their scenes anymore, thank god for TATA Sky, i can fast forward that crapfest. all in all, this show is starting to bore me, theres literally not a single track that has a story and MANY tracks that have a POTENTIAL story, a potential we'll reach by the time I'm 50 (i just turned 25, 2 days ago). we're firmly in serial land and looks like the train's going to be at this station for the foreseeable future. its boring now. I'm only waiting for them to ruin the two good things- RaRa and rachi-amu-jazz by making rachi turn on rishi, amu, jazz and join team biological father or create drama with sneha and i can exit this, now asinine story as well.
