I don't think you'll be missing out on a lot. It'll most likely just be more celebrations, unless they decide to sprinkle in some flashbacks here and there. But I have a feeling they'll be saving the heavy stuff for after marriage.

So far it doesn't seem like it .. there are small small things being shown .. last 10 mins is all about unravelling hidden layers .. otherwise no major development

Maybe I need to rewatch the mango ice cream scene again but I don’t recall Babita using the phrase Amrit manthan there.

I do recall her giving the analogy of flavors and saying that she wants to taste the main flavor of mango in the ice cream without cramming other flavors into it....the symbolism felt like it was about a yearning to move beyond a hodgepodge of flavors and get to the core pure flavor within...trying to say that life has so many flavors that it throws at us, but sometimes we want to focus on the unadulterated...in this case, the flavor of mango without any adulteration of other flavors to take away from the taste of mango in the ice cream. I think she gave the analogy of the churning cream to bring out the flavor.

The Amrit Manthan analogy is different....HS didn’t choose to focus on the poison, that is the basis of the Amrit manthan Story...you have to ingest the poison to get to the Amrit....so he used the direct analogy that way....the ice cream flavor case was a bit different I think

But I do understand the general point you are trying to make about the balance HB are trying to embody.

Her yearning for the singular mango flavor is also reflective of how her flavor (essence) has been subdued and lost because of all the societal factors around her. Her voice being silenced whilst being married, having to stay behind when Ashok left, having Minnie at the age of 19, being a punching bag for everyone else and having her own feelings be ignored etc. Babita got lost amongst all that and she's trying to emerge.

I'm not too well rehearsed with the story behind the Amrit Manthan. I only know bits and pieces of it from what some of the members shared. The ice cream flavor was different because it was used in a different context. Babita had just packed Ashok away and had essentially felt free in the truest sense of that term. But as we now know, she isn't as free as she thought of herself to be. She may be rid of Ashok physically or legally, but emotionally and psychologically, he's still there, haunting her. She needs to churn those memories out too before she can relish the nectar.

Can't do a detailed analysis despite the awesome material in the last few minutes of the episode but wrote some initial thoughts down just for you on the ajao saray thread.

No worries, dear. I really want to explore this episode a bit more but I don't have my laptop in this trip. It's a bit hard to type all that on the phone. I did a bit but will do a proper analysis next week, hopefully.
