10.8.15 - Ishraland -A lil of me, a lil of you; together we're changed

Sorry for unres this late but just came back from work and watched the episode.

Nice review as usual. How come there was no pictures today?

I totally agree to your point that Ishita and Raman have exchanged athmas after Big C because Ishita is behaving like impulsive angry Raman and Raman is behaving like cool, collected and calm Ishita😆😆

I have a different view on Ishita going to meet Shagun. I kinda of like it because I was fed up with a doormat Ishita who only thinks about other emotions after the slot change this one looks like the 11:00 clock Ishita who doesn't take any shit from anybody and can give into her emotions.

Ishita was told repeatedly by numerous person she is not a desirable women as she cannot give birth. The first chink in her armor was Subbu after 12 years of relationship left her in a matter of seconds on a possibility that she might not be able to give birth. Then came the numerous suitors amma paraded before her hoping that she might finally get happiness but every time someone rejected her she unconsciously lost her confidence in herself as a women so every time people commented on her relationship with her husband she was quite because she did not have confidence in herself to tell everyone that her husband desired her physically even though she knew that he loved her unconditionally because every time he expressed his wishes to get physical it was always about baby and kids so she was not sure herself whether her husband desired her just for herself.

Then came the much awaited Big C where in she poured out all her insecurities and they culminated for each other love rather than for anybody else. Raman unknowingly gave her the confidence boost for he to feel that she is a desirable woman. His every touch and looks made her feel that she could make her lover go weak on his knees that gave her confidence in herself as a women so the first thing she wanted to do as a empowered woman who got back her confidence in herself went searching for the one person who time and again made a mockery of her relationship with her husband in front of others and put her down as a woman calling her bhenjii and baanj and taunted her that her husband doesn't love her as he is still in love with her so she wanted to show that person that her husband only belongs to her so for the first time I saw a possessive Ishita who staked a claim on her husband asking his ex to stay away from them which I liked very much because that is how wife should be possessive about their husband.

It is kind of human nature to give back to people when they push you to the extreme so I did not find any fault in her going in search of Shagun.

When yesterday they finished the episode like Ishita wanting to let Shagun know that they have sealed the deal I was thinking why cannot Ishita keep something private between the couple but when I thought what would I have done in the same situation I would have done the same thing what Ishita did so I don't fault her and this also makes her more human prone to make mistake and give into anger and not some mahan bahu or sati devi who takes all the crap because that is what the TRP audience likes and a soap bahu should be.

I liked Shagun acting as well like she was indifferent to Ishita that was like the grey Shagun I liked in the beginning of YHM but after Ishita left and Shagun monologue started that she is the reason that IshRa are together I went blah😡 why does she give more important to herself then I realized she is behaving like the grey Shagun I liked who gloats over anything that she is the reason behind it and I was happy because I cannot take the new improvised Ruhi Arora who keeps helping people. I want my grey Shagun back.

Amma reactions was spot on after finding about Ishita martial status change because that is what mothers do after you get married they directly or indirectly ask whether you have done the deed and then convey the same thing to the groom mothers so that the grooms family knows now that her daughter has become a woman this is a common practice so I did not mind but the only problem I had was Ishita trying to convey that to Toshjii instead of Amma because it is down right embarrassing to tell your MIL that you had sex with her son and that was beautifully portrayed by Ishita and finally amma gave up and behaved like a mother and conveyed the message so now hopefully Toshjii got the message and once IshRa move back to their house she should keep out all the haddis from their room.

I hope other than these people don't openly discuss about IshRa life if the younger siblings start discussing about it I am going to be mad.

Oh my God my Raman who is smart, sexy, sauve with cool glasses and slight stubble with a contend smile was a dream to look on . The way he smiled at her and took care of her with little details of pulling her chair making sure she sat before he left her alone and small smiles he gave to her was a treat tow watch☺️

Oh finally not only a clean shave handsome RKB was back but this time RKB brought his brain back as well I really hope he stays from now on not disappear in the near future.

I liked the way he exposed Ashok but the one thing I still don't understand is does Ishita know that Ashok drugged her and was going to molest her or she is angry with Ashok because he talked dirty about her to Raman before he spiked her drink.😕

Pre cap looks interesting I am waiting for the touchy moment between IshRa tomorrow and eagerly waiting for the continuation of the talk about the rating of 2😉 and how puttar goes up from 2😆

I cannot get enough of puttar smiles at the end of today episode he looked suave,handsome and contented

I have mixed feelings about today. Some things I liked, some I didn't, but I guess that's the state everyone is currently in (especially because we're still reeling in the after-effects of last week's episodes 😆)

Ishita-Shagun confrontation: Any confrontation / conversation has 3 questions attached to it. Why-What-How. Why did the conversation happen? What was the content? How was it delivered? In today's episode, Ishita (& the CVs) nailed the answers to the Why & What, but How left a bad taste in my mouth. Why - I completely understand why Ishita wanted to blast Shagun off. She has mocked & taunted by her innumerable times. Her relationship with Raman has been questioned time and again. Not only this, in the past, Shagun has not given up any opportunity of throwing Shagun-Raman's relationship dynamics in her face. She HAD to give it back to her. The wife, the woman in her would not stay calm. What - What she said was brilliant! Hats off to the CVs for such dialogues. Apart from some cheesiness, the sentiment and words hit the nail in the head. While reading today's LU, I was wondering how can Ishita share her personal matters with Shagun, how cheap will it sound, and she used the EXACT same words and how! I'm so proud of her for that 👏 👏 How - This is where I felt completely disconnected. Her blasting Shagun off would have been totally acceptable had she bumped into her somewhere, or had Shagun tried to poke more. But her deliberately seeking Shagun out to tell her she & Raman have put the final stamp on their relationship, did not go down well with me. It goes on to show Shagun that Ishita is still affected deeply by Raman's past. I'm not saying Ishita is / was not affected, but there's no need for Shagun to realize the power she has on their emotions. Doesn't matter if she has turned miss goody two shoes, she does not deserve the importance / attention in IshRa's life any more. I'd rather she kept hating Ishita / Raman, and found someone else and move on. Her words to Ishita, before she left and became a saint, were - "I'll always hate you from the bottom of my heart." THAT felt real that she could never think well of Ishita, even after accepting defeat. I will also accept her turning good-natured, but what I absolutely cannot digest is the fact that she's now rooting for IshRa. Heights of idiocy!

Mommy blessings: Contrary to popular belief, I found this telling both the mothers bit quite natural. From my experience, mothers, especially a bride's mother, tends to get emotional on learning that her daughter has finally become someone's wife in the absolute sense. In real life, you'll find a lot of such women who'd ask their daughters directly / indirectly and feel happy when they learn about it. For me, Madhvi's reaction was as natural as it can get, for here she was getting to know about her younger daughter's happiness, who once was foretold would never experience this feeling. Sharing it with Toshi also seemed a bit natural to me for 3 reasons: 1. She's again, a mother, although the groom's mother, but even she would feel happy on learning that her son has finally moved on in all senses. 2. She's also a mother figure for Ishita. 3. She's Madhvi's best friend. In fact, I liked Toshi suggesting that Ishita should not share this news with more people, lest an evil eye is cast upon them. I also liked that Ishita reminded all of them to not get their hopes up, as there are only 5% chances of her conceiving a child. This tid-bits of realism are what make YHM stand-out, and what make me stay glued to it, despite no IshRa romance in the episode 😆 Having said all this, yes, I agree, this is a private matter, and therefore should not be shared with everyone in the family.

Raman-Ashok-Ishita: Raman is in love, and RKB is back. These 2 phrases define the entire last part. For RKB - Loved his smartness, how brilliantly he played Ashok and made him fall into his trap 👏 👏 For Raman - His chivalry & concern for her, his eye-locks and smiles for her - Every li'l gesture was screaming 'I love you' and I felt like going and hugging him for being so loveable & adorable, without flirting & touching & smirking (Though I love flirty, smirky, touchy Raman too 😆). Today he was a man on a mission, but a content man, one who had everything he ever wanted and the satisfaction showed on his face. Ishita looked gorgeous - perfect color combination + beautiful earrings - Everything suited her really well 😳 👏
