My thoughts

Chunav and Akheraj.

The fear of losing elections is making Akheraj go slow. He is trying to look and behave like a model citizen. All eyes are on him. But his son and his daughter are not allowing him to succeed by their deeds. Kamli is waiting for the right time to take full revenge. And she also phoned once to save Nimbil's marriage. Now she may try to expose this incident inspite of Mangala in some way or the other. With that move she can strike two birds. One is taking revenge and another is saving Nimboli.

It will be interesting to watch how far Mangala will go to keep Nimboli for herself. It is not her fear of unknown future for Nimboli but her fear of losing her. Nimboli can be kidnapped by rival factions as she is always out on errands. Once Nimboli gets kidnapped second time, the police will get to know and the news will spread.

Kundan is like a wounded tiger. He and his friend may make plans.

Kamli suddenly is losing fire. Her action seems to have ended after keeping the gold in the locker. She is not even trying to nab her in laws killers and send them to jail.

Akheraj and Harki dont care if Nimboli dies or disappears. They will be relieved.

Akheraj made a mistake by bringing Kamli to live under his roof. Thereby he has added more enemies.

Coming to Mangala, she loves Nimboli no doubt. But her possessive love is making her blind to certain things as she herself confesses. She was shown light but she chooses to close her eyes. There are people who are trying to tell some things but she closes her ears. The poojari, even some of the women of the village, Anandi, the new teacher and finally a powerful MLA who came to their house. We cannot condone her obsessiveness by saying that she saved and loved Nimboli. We were so angry with Anandi when she did not take action against people and we are criticisng her. Why Mangala should not be criticised after knowing her selfish intentions? I am not criticising Mangala to make a case for Anandi but I am criticising her for the sake of Nimboli's future which is nothing good as of now.
Anandi did not lose Nandini because she was enjoying with friends that she should be punished with her daughter not getting out of that hell. Mangala's first scenes and her devi act proves that she has become a psycho type. There is still time for Mangala to get out of her possessiveness and get a broader vision. Lack of education is no barrier or excuse for getting some good sense. Many uneducated labourers and maids go through all hardhips to give a good education and future for their kids. Some of them are ready to give their kids for adoption so that they will get better life. Mangala is like that who cannot give a good life to Nimboli and preventing others from trying to give a good life to her. Save Nimboli from Mangala.

Our viewing of character changes according to the episodes aired.

I loved Mangala for saving little Nimboli and then batting for others too.

But slowly she is showing her colors.

I loved Jagya's character from the beginning and then felt sad about his change and again started liking him for his change. He has started showing the best side and that fact makes me view him with happiness.

With Anandi I am indifferent as she is without changes. She is colorless like water.

With dadisa I am confused as her negativity is still vivd and long lasting happenings.

Mangala's limitations can be pointed out - which Mangala herself acknowledges at times.

Leaves - my take on the last two episodes and its outcome - writers I think showed that only N can save herself ultimately - M may save her temporarily taking on devi avataar, giving her a knife, asking her to keep from K/be alert etc -- these will work only on a short term basis? what in the longer run, when Akhiraj becomes very powerful politically and socially too in the biradaari everyone kowtowing to him.. How will he fought?

I'm so glad Kamli is there. She is such a saviour angel for Nimboli.

However, two things: Mangala is possessive not selfish as people make it sound. Secondly, no one has told her that telling facts / taking help from social worker / MLA is going to make her and Nimboli's life better.

No one is completely selfless but as long as your acts do not jeopardize anyone's life it is fine.

Mangala is not intentionally screwing Nimboli's life. Her acts are guided by her own sense of judgment in life.

This does not make Mangala selfish or a woman feasting on other woman's child. Neither does this make her a coward.

Possessiveness and being selfish. There is a very thin line.

Mangala is an adult woman probably in her thirtess and why should she be told about taking help. She understands very well and her possessiveness is preventing her from acknowledging the fact even to herself.

When it comes to Nimboli, her judgment vanishes into thin air and all she thinks about is that she should not be separated from Nimboli.

She is somewhat a coward for not going that extra length to punish Akheraj which even younger Kamli tried. She is as it is feasting someone's child and not letting anything to come between. She wants status quo and she has become selfish without her knowing about it.

Which Anandi? The one who lost her daughter and is doing nothing to find her?

Mangala did not snatch Anandi's baby. Anandi dumped her child herself and is enjoying life to the fullest.

She did come to Jaitsar as dadisa assured her that they will do their best.

You know very well difference between dumping and losing in a fight.

Is she is enjoying life listening to music, going to restaurants and theatres?

She is doing some work and eating and wearing good clothes. If it is called enjoying life, so be it.

I think people expect her to cry buckets, drink alcohol or take drugs or commit suicide. Or keep a long face throughout carrying endless conversations with photos.

Is it love for Mangala or hatred for anandi disguised as love for Mangala?
