I completely understand how you feel. The episode was 30 mins and yet took me hrs to finish watching. Until HS comes in, it's going to be a major drama fest.

Everything was so OTT in the show until AD came and balanced out everything.

All children of minis age have dreams of their career and Studying a course they like. For mini Babita was weak and was not someone to be left alone because of her trusting and meek nature everyone would take fayda of her. And mini also saw how lovely behaved towards her and it was mini who had to always stand up and give it back to her. So like other children mini was not her mothers responsibility, Babes was her responsibility. And she felt babita was her responsibility because Ashok was not here. So she was only waiting for ashok to come back so that he can take care of Babes and she can become a child again and follow her dreams, something which every child gets to do at her age. I dont see mini as wanting to pass on the responsibility here to anyone like it was a burden to her. She ideally wanted her own father to come back and be with babita so that she can go without worries to be a travel photographer. Little did she know that the very father she wanted to come back would not take responsibility of them and mini would never get the childhood & teenage she wanted at her age

I don't fault her for having dreams and ambitions. The fact that she even recognizes Babes' flaws is great because then nothing will come as a shock for her. She knows Babes needs her, but Minnie also needs her mother. If it weren't for Babita reigning in her brash talks, the girl would have no filter. She'll just go on badmouthing people like there's no tomorrow and not really care about the consequences for it.

Yes, Lovely is a horrible woman and she needs to be dealt with the same venom that she spews, but constantly fighting and arguing isn't going to solve anything. As we saw later on, the reason why Lovely is quick to taunt and lash onto others is because she's barren. Of course, that's not an excuse for her horrible behavior, but it does give a reasoning as to why she's so bitter and mean to others. She herself doesn't want her feelings to be hurt and hence, hurts others first.

My point is that violence, whether it's verbal or physical, isn't the solution to anything. A good solution crops up when people have a civil discussion and address the issues at hand. Or at least, put in the attempt to solve the problems together.

As for your point about Babita being a burden, I'm not sure now if I actually wrote that in the post. I did think of it but came to the conclusion that that's not how Minnie saw her initially. (At least in the context of this episode alone.) I don't know if it changed later on, but for now, no. She just wants her father back so that her Babes has someone with whom she can talk to, share her worries with etc. while Minnie herself can just be a child again.

Now this makes me think, was the whole project part, getting rid of the responsibility part, acting only on Mini's whims part intentional? Always meant to be?

Indeed gives me a new perspective too.

Alas. Sigh. I can only dream about the things they're showing right now. Can't help but relate!

It was most definitely always meant to be. After all, Minnie couldn't be responsible for Babita forever, at least in the context of a mother. There will always be the responsibilities of a child, but she didn't have to be a mother to Babita forever. If Minnie thought handing Babita over to someone else would solve all her problems, then that thinking was wrong. Instead, she should have made Babita independent enough so that she didn't need anyone's help. You know, the same lecture she was giving Babita towards the end with the whole surname issue. In this case, it was Minnie's fault for rushing Hanita. They were both doing just fine at their own slow pace, but sab se zyaada jaldi toh iss ladki ko thi. After all, puri society ko kuch prove jo karna tha. 🤔

Yeah. The whole transferring the responsibility to someone else, Babita being Mini’s project, that has been evident throughout the show, but they never showed it in an extreme level, like they did with Babita’s log kya kahenge. It was just subtly there.

Btw, really nice write up, Gur 🤗.

Thanks!

I agree. The whole transference of responsibilities was touched upon a few times by other characters wherein they mentioned the mother-daughter need to release their strong hold of each other. But it wasn't as actively worked upon as Babita's obsession with society and their talks.
