1 oct '09: big things, little things

wow, super episode! what i'd been waiting for sooo long finally happened -- lallu invoked the name of ballu, and their barson-purana rishta! woot, woot, woot! seriously -- tears came to my eyes, watching this show -- something that hasn't happened in soooo long! 🤣

* little thing: oooh! a month later, eh? why do we care? no, really, why?? after all, they reduced six years to nothing. why do we need to know that a month has passed -- why??

i seriously really want to know! *hmmm. maybe i should make this a big thing? 😆*

* prem-heer thing: er... watching heer ''call prem'', did anyone else get the idea that heer can't keep her hands off prem?? 😳 😆

* little thing: ooh, the picture pbauji got was that of the whole family together! oooooh. shocker. 😆

y'know? at first i wondered at the insanity of that whole drama -- i mean, this family has had photographs all over the place all the time. why do this drama for a family portrait?

and then i figured it out! they have to do it 'cause they keep changing the actors, no?

* little thing: 'kay when new-harman first shouted, who else thought it was 'cause he found out that the picture had harman's picture and not his??

🤣 *no, no, i'm not saying that the picture doesn't have new-harman's picture - i didn't really notice such things.*

* little thing: *sigh* new-harman runs out of the house claiming an intruder. and prem said ''aa eeyey bauji'' and the entire family -- including children -- trooped out???!! to check out an intruder??!

yet another one of those unnatural things that happen with people in these shows.

* little thing: er... did anyone else crack up laughing at the dramatic way in which new-harman turned away, and then turned back to look at the prints??! and then that entire conversation -- with fierce furrowed brow and everything.

i dunno. i found it howlarious! 🤣

* little thing: aw... prem-heer checking out schools for phukda. i didn't get the whole thing about the choice of schools though -- so little one is still in delhi finishing term, right? then what's the big deal about needing a donation to shift mid-term just now?? anyone else got confused?

* little thing: oooh. we're back in ludhiana -- land of the most crass people who all suffer from the social-foot-in-the-mouth-and-be-shameless-about-it syndrome.

first that random purple-shirt guy (who really shouldn't wear colours that look good only on prem). and then large mrs. chedda -- who they should stop allowing to come through the front door at jzoo! she should just say hi, and exchange pleasantaries at the door step -- including tea and snacks -- and told tata-bye-bye there itself!

who are these people who keep running into prem calling themselves his friends?? bloomin' hangers-on who keep hoping for free food at a jzoo marriage drama, i say... 🤣 *btw, did prem call the guy ... pammi??!!! 🤣*

* prem-heer thing: and when it comes presented with a guy who smiled and asked his wife if he should come and open the car-door for her, it looked even more terrible!

i loved the gentle-embarrassed look on heer's face when mr. crass opened to the door loudly shouting ''gi-it bhabhi''. and i loved loved loved how prem dropped his head in embarrassment on the top of the car when he did that.

i really propose that prem-heer leave jzoo in ludhiana and take up farming in ambala. with that ''donation'' money of prem's they should get back heer's father's house and property and just raise wheat, mustard and a football team of kids. seriously.

* little thing: happy smiles on everyone's faces when pbauji declared prem-heer get remarried. incredulously disgusted look on glob's face -- which obviously no-one in jzoo noticed. just as they didn't seem to notice that she made a quick exit.

and a terrified look on my face! 'cause we all know that weddings at jzoo either don't happen at all, or happen with a shift in the identity of the people who are getting married! and both of them are extremely unpleasant thoughts to even come close to prem and heer!

argh!

* prem thing: btw, did anyone else hoot with joy when he said that ''maa must've sent cards here, and it's a small town''. with that look at glob!

man! i'm soo hoping that he still harbours lots of distrust/anger at glob for what she had tried to do in that custody case!

* little thing: what did pbauji/kuldi mean -- that they didn't get married, they didn't see prem-heer get married?

i mean! what was prem (in that brilliant blue t-shirt wihch i actually miss a lot! 😆) doing sindoor-ing heer on their wedding day then??! 🤣

* pbauji thing: he mentioned his ever-lasting debt to ballu (aka balraj maan, heer-meher's father)! oh, .... joy!! 🤣

and this time, he even included finally putting the poor man's soul to rest! gosh! is he actually saying that all these six/seven years since the poor guy died, he has been roaming the beyond, and talking to pbauji in his dreams??! 🤣 gosh are those late-night converstions the reason for hte dark circles under pbauji's eyes??!

seriously. i want to know when this debt thing is stop gonna be a part of any pbauji conversation about heer and prem's love. doesn't he get that it isn't??! that prem-heer-are-one would have been true even if he had never owed that damned ballu anything at all?!?!

seriously, pbauji. get off trying to take credit for prem-heer-are-one! you didn't have anything to do with it, 'kay??! it was the stars, dude, the bloomin' stars! 😆

* little thing: but i must say, his asking meher for heer's hand for prem was ... kinda ... mushy. kinda... cute-ish.

i liked more meher's reaction, and how pbauji told her to not ''make it a laughing matter''. that was sweet.

* prem thing: i loved how prem looked down at his heer with a deep long pleased look as pbauji was talking about stopping all wagging tongues with a loud marriage celebration. that was the nicest part of this whole announcement. seriously, prem looked sooo ... pleased. and it was all for heer.

'cause he was sooo disturbed when they first walked in.

and that was also all just for heer. prem... 😍

* little thing: i got even more puzzled at glob thinking that there was a hope in heck of prem-heer-are-one breaking up. what the bloomin' blazes was she talkin' about???

seriously, the woman's mad! why can't the world see that and get her certified and admitted into a mental hospital???!

* confrontation thing: it was a good confrontation 'cause it was quite an honest one. full of real world questions; not a trace of the prem-heer kinda of we're-actually-divine-beings-and-not-human feelings at all!

glob's question was totally spot-on -- for a step-mother who is concerned about family finances. (which she shouldn't be worried about and so sounded totally crass 🤢)

pbauji's questions demanding why she didn't want the ceremony to happen was also spot-on -- ''do you still hate heer?'' (why doesn't he ever followup on that question and push her to the wall on this one?? would save everyone -- including me -- a huge amount of headache!)

glob's statement about how pbauji placed ballu and prem-heer's love above their own relationship was also true -- but rather empty and pointless. (ya, 'kay, it's true. so what? doesn't a father have a right to place love of a child above all else? it would've made sense if she had done a followup with what is really eating at her, i think -- ''why didn't he do this for vitchface veera? as a father, why hadn't he work harder at saving her life??!'')

what i didn't get was why does she even care? why is this woman just not getting a divorce from the guy she obviously despises? 'cause she wants prem? is that it? *gee, i just grossed myself out so much that i feel like throwing up my mom's excellent dinner... 🤢*

(continued below 'cause -- as always -- if.com hates me. 😭)

* prem-heer thing: how sweet -- they call gi-it for the ceremony -- together! and of course, it's the perfect opportunity for prem to stand with his face as close as possible to heer's... uh ... face. i mean, just 'cause that way the voice reception is the best! we all know that was the only reason, right? truly! 😆

no other reason for him to have his arm around her shoulders. no other reason that his face has to be so close to hers that he is practically nuzzling her; so close that she has to move his face away with her hand.

*btw, did anyone else puddle down into goop when she did that??? seriously? these two are uncomfortably comfortable with each other. i mean that.

i mean, there are acts and there are acts. it's funny, but i think it's easier to be in a romantic situation and then convincingly ''act'' that you are with your lover. and then, there's being in an ordinary situation with your lover -- which takes a totally different ''act'' to be convincing.

there is something incredible about these two that they can convince being lovers in the ordinary situations, i realised. they have obviously perfected ''acting'' lovers in the romantic situations. but the ordinary ones? that is where they are beginning to turn me into puddles of goop... *

need i say in more words that i totally adored that prem-heer-invites-gi-it moment? need i say i loved how -- even though she pushed him away -- it didn't take him longer that 0.0012 microseconds to get back into position around her? or the impatient way in which he was urging the end of the call? or that i loved how the cameras panned out from just getting the upper body shot of prem-heer together to a full body shot of prem pulling heer into him? how his body curved into her when he did that? i mean, ordinarily prem stands with a bit of a hunch -- hands in pockets, shoulders down. to curve into heer like that needs re-alignment... 'kay, i am seriously driving myself towards *thud!* just thinkin' 'bout it, so i need to stop now. else this bt,lt won't get done.

man. i loved that prem-heer-invites-gi-it moment. 😍

* hc-as-prem, ag-as-heer thing: i loved hc-as-prem ag-as-heer today. not that i didn't love 'em yesterday. but yesterday -- they were spoofing prem heer. 😆 today, they were doing what they always do -- get prem and heer perfect.

hc's prem was perfect today -- except in the one leetle part where he was playing prem as preet (shouting about ''emotional attyachar''?? either that was prem playing preet, or prem playing hip-hop-prem -- take your pick! 🤣)

he was quiet-inside-with-peace-'cause-he-has-heer prem all through today, and it was super watching. whether it was in that desparate little shake of his head when pbauji asked him whether he could'nt stay even two days without his heer. *oh, huzie, his hair. his hair!!! 😍* or in that last monologue with the payal he wanted to gift his heer. or in his reactions to meher. today's hc-as-prem was perfect.

just as ag-as-heer was perfect. today she was all demure and not shy, which was just superb to see. when she was laughing at pbauji insisting on her calling him her sasur. or laughing at prem's desparate little head shake that they could stay apart for two days. she was all prem's heer -- only grown up and secure in their love. 😍

these two rock their roles so badly... i could watch 'em all day! 😍😍

*er.. if ever you meet her, please don't tell mom that? 😃*

* little thing: i detest that they are making them stay apart for two days.

seriously, i dislike it intensely. 😒 they did that the last october before young-sweet-innocent-only-want-to-live-in-each-other's-eyes prem-heer's wedding-to-be. and that is the one thing that used to tear at my heart all during that awful prem-is-dead period: that they had been forced to stay apart.

so this time, i am fiercely happy that prem's episode ending lines were: i'm sorry, meher, but this time your rasams are going to get broken. 'cause i am gonna payal-heer tonight!

yeah, prem! go. do not let these morons stand in your way. this time don't just break all the big rasams, break all the teeny-weeny ones as well. break 'em all -- 'cause prem-heer-are-one is the most important thing on earth. and if anyone begrudges you the rasams not being kept... who the heck cares??!

not the jzoo folk (well, those that just a little insane anyway 😆)

not the stars, or the moon, or mad spinning lady (who we can't ask 'cause she's disappeared -- i hope she comes to the wedding though! wouldn't that be cool??! 😍😆)

not heer. (who i am sure sent meher to check on prem, and tease him, so that he gest some more motivation to break those damned rasams! 🤣)

and certainly not us. ('cause we luuuuuuuuv rasam-breaking prem!🤣 )

* prem thing: er... 'kay, mr. prem i'm-the-lion-here juneja. why will you only tell the family what you will do two days later?? if you're the lion here, how come you're not just saying ''i'll show you what i'm gonna do... today!''?? 🤣

but i must admit -- the sight of the much-shorter acting-indignant elder mr. juneja sticking his nose up at the much-taller truly-indignant young mr. juneja was very very ... funny! cute! whatever! 😆

* little thing: *sigh* i have a feeling that i'm gonna resign from my jobs as person-who-helps-prem-into-his-shirts-and-rolls-up-his-sleeves. 'cause i have a feeling they're gonna make him do undershirt thingies. and i have a feeling that i will have to resign 'cause my heart will be broken and i'll be hospitalised most of the time anyway... *sigh, sob!*

or maybe.. *thinking* i can learn how to function as the person-who-helps-prem-into-his-shirts-and-rolls-up-his-sleeves even with a broken heart?? hmmm.

the things i end up doing for this show, i tell you.. 😆

* prem thing: he made me giggle with his indignant variations of:

"heer sey nehin mil sakta." (turn page furiously)
"mein apney heer sey nehin mil sakta.'' (turn another page furiously)
"ap-ney heer sey mein nehin mil sakta.'' (turn another page furiously)

all with different emphasis, all standing with tight control in his white kurta *with the damned undershirt thingie!! 😡*

all in hc-as-prem's voice *oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!*

that was nicely done. seriously. so nicely that i wondered hazily with whatever little was left of my brain whether he couldn't have said it more ways... 🤣

* prem thing: prem's face as he is talking to the payal. o.m.g. were his eyes looking exceptionally beautiful today or what?? and his mouth.. and ...and...

truly, it's enough to drive a girl crazy wondering, isn't it? i mean, if this guy can make you instantly drop into a puddle of goop making love to payal 'cause that payal is going on heer's foot, what - oh what?? - is he gonna sound like as he is making love to heer??! *i am not mad enough to wonder what might happen if he is making love to... no! i am not going there!!!!*

my brain is getting phried. seriously. i need to stop this... now! i'm with mom all of tomorrow. which means i need a phully phunctioning brain... 🤣

highlight of the episode: oh. do i have to??? *sigh 'kay, doing this really quickly*
premheerinvitinggi-ittotheirceremony. 😍
premmakinglovetoapayal'causethatwillgoonheer'sfoot. 😍😍

phew! done! and i think i have managed to save some of my brain!! 😆

special thank you thing: thank you to mod-am khushi, nans, dimple (aka tv star) for not putting up caps of today's episode. i would have killed my whole brain if i included caps today. 😆

advance warning: tomorrow's mkg's b'day. even with on-a-rampage-breaking-rasams prem, the bt,lt will be late. 😃

*mine*

football team of kids ???? 😲

hi E,

yet to read. but a couple things anyway.

first they pretend as if the last 6 years didn't happen (i mean when are we going to be told that story?!?!?!) ......but they did and the one thing that did come out of them was the phukda.......... now they are behaving as if the phukda didn't happen and isn't in the story!!!!!! first its preet .....who was so close to his bhabhi that he stopped talking to his pb....and now is yet to say a word to his bhabhi post tls and now phukda is in delhi? for exams? for a 5 year old? away from her parents? it makes no sense!!!!! they are making prem and heer who would care even for a stranger's kid look like really indifferent parents!!! i can't imagine leaving behind a 5 year that too one who has newly found the family that she has been longing for all her life!!!!! if she couldn't go, would they not have waited to move until she could? if she (and i can't imagine a 5 yr ols having semester exams!!!!!) really had such important exams that she needed to be in delhi would her parents not be there with her???? the people who write this have really no clue about kids and parenting!!! this whole thing would have been so much nicer if they had shown prem and heer after the SM pouring their hearts out to each other, telling each other about how the last 6 years apart have been for them, the things that happened, and then making new promises and a new start with the phukda as a very thrilled and excited part of this wedding!! that way i could have just watched goopily with a smile on my face instead of tearing my hair out trying to make sense of things!!!!!!

i looooooooooved yest's epi and i love it more after reading ur bt,lt🤣Prem was🤣🤣🤣i loved Premeer moments☺️i hope we get to see Prem sneaking to heer's room 2day🤣i bet heer will ask yeh kya kar rahe ho🤣🤣oh n the way Prem said main apni heer se nahi milsakta in 3 diff ways was🤣🤣🤣bechara
