<font color="#ff00ff">So I caved in and watched the episode. What a beauty to the eyes and to
my drama seeking self. What a bold start to the year.</font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">I wont be very popular for saying this.. today was a prelude to a lot of
stuff in coming days. We got to wait and watch. Having said that, everything
that happened was predicted by most of us in the last few days. There is no
other way for the story to develop. Ishwari holds Dev in this cage and he
cannot set himself free ever. I am not even thinking about the precap here. </font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">Did you guys notice that today all the key characters got screen space.
I could be wrong, but in coming episodes we will see less and less of Neha, Saurabh
and mamaji and rest of the folks. I don't miss Mamaji but I am saddened by the
fact that Neha and Saurabh dada will have little role to play</font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">It also became very apparent why Vicky-elena wedding took place. It doesn't
have much to do with Vicky's improvements. Its got to do with having Elena under
the same roof as Sona. Sona will need a Bose to support her through the carnage
that awaits. </font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">The show continues to revolve around
Ishwari. Its all about her. Much to my annoyance. The venom she spews
in a Shiv mandir. How much poison will Lord Shiva consume? <b></b></font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">While it seems like Sonakshi is crying in her MIL's pain, watch
carefully. She is grieving her baby and things get worse when the newest
achievement of her life accuses her of worse and when she comes to take shelter
under the very tree that promised her lifelong shade, she is accused of
carelessness. THAT is what she is grieving. The look she gave mamiji today was
amazing. (Its funny how mamiji mirrored Vicky's dialogue of doing drama when no
one is watching). Someone had commented
a few days ago that how would things change had Sonakshi known of her condition
before her marriage. Today.. Today would have been different. Sonakshi would
have made an informed decision regarding her marriage. It doesn't matter Dev
wants babies or not. Sonakshi didn't just marry Dev. She married into Dev's
family and to her, bearing their 'waris' is important. I am not going to judge
her on her decision of first focusing on Dev's family and then on Dev. The
point is, she didn't walk into this with all the information she had the right
to. Dev acknowledges his mistakes in a temple in front of his God. He uses the
word 'dhokha'. Lies and deception are very different things. He acknowledges
that not only did he lie; he also deceived Sona, his mother and Sona's family.
For once he puts everyone on the same pedestal. He acknowledges that 'yes I
lied. I lied to be able to marry' </font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">Bijoy-Dev face off - I am glad it happened. Knowing Dev, he will
apologise. Asha will facilitate the conversation and all will be well. I doubt
we will see much on this. Sadly</font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">The way Vicky has been talking mamiji to task; I don't think their house
burning down secret will remain a secret for too long. </font>
<font color="#ff00ff"></font>
<font color="#ff00ff">Everyone's acting was superb. Today was Erica's day. </font>
