Annex 05/11: Love, Obsession, and Opportunity.

Adda Annex: 5th November. Love, Obsession, and Opportunity.
Oh and Ego. Lotsa Ego.

[Jyoti is busy attending cousin's wedding in Kolkata and gulping down rasgullas and mishti doi' so we will be filling in for her this week' and today is my turn' don't worry, you are just one episode closer to having your pyari Jyoti back. [Note: rules at end of message]]

Part 1:

Scene: Kunal Mehra & Shamoli, alone in his house.

Kunal offers money to Shamoli for her testimomy. Shamoli asks 'Why didn't you give it to me before I testified?' He answers: 'I don't lie and I have the strength to speak truth. ' Shamoli retorts: 'Sometimes, the truth doesn't win out. It is buried underneath lies.' In short they have an ego clash. Both are supremely confidant, egotistical beings. It is a clash of titans.

Kunal continues..'I am paying you this money because I had the conviction to hire you two in the first place. I saw you were different. And this money is the reward for that. For your integrity.'

Shamoli: 'If this is true, why are you making me common, just like the rest, by offering me money?' Kunal: 'I am making you above the rest. And you will remember Kunal Mehra who put his trust in you.'

Shamoli stops him and says 'No. I came here to become someone and to make money. Today, I have made a place for myself. Today, you will remember that I did you a favour which no one else could do. You will remember me.' And she returns his money. [Wow!]

Scene: Shamoli leaves. Kunal Mehra alone, in his house.

Kunal's Soliloquoy [speaks to himself]: 'I have traveled the whole world looking for someone who could be equal to me. Who could stand up to me. How ironic that I found her in my own house. A maid. From a small city. There is something very different about this girl. Something different indeed.'

Scene: Veeru & Shamoli on the streets of Mumbai alone.

Shamoli calls him 'driver'. It irks him. She also comments that he drives in third gear. Talks fast. Runs. Just goes too fast. But he talks too much. They go back and forth insulting each other, then she pulls an emotional drame-daar comment on him about her not having a father. He gets senti and apologizes. Then she says why are you sad for me, you don't have a dad either. He calls her paagal. And I fully concur. [Basically she toys with him.]

Then Shamoli borrows Rs 20 from him. Whereupon Veeru asks for interest. Veeru points to cheek. Shamoli playfully slaps it. [And I fully close my eyes.. I have a KMH hangover.. can't help it.] Shamoli gives her bhurji/food to little hungry girl. [From the guy that insulted her earlier.]

Veeru watches in admiration. Then asks Shamoli why she isnt eating. 'I don't eat from the streets' she replies. He asks, 'shall I book a hotel suite for you?' Ofcourse she says 'yes'. Then he asks, 'what if i can't afford it?' To which she answers, 'then someone else will.' [Veeru is confounded. As is the audience. Here is the future unfolding, in one small roadside scene.]

Veeru's phone rings. He asks if he can pick it up. Shamoli answers, 'of course. its your boss. he's the only one who can ring your bell.' [woah! what tapori lines.. crazy!!]

Kunal Mehra wants to speak to Shamoli. He tells her to stay in the outhouse. She accepts. And tells Veeru. Veeru asks whats wrong with staying in the basti? She says, nothing. But if something good comes your way, then why not take it?

[The name 'Driver'. It irks our man Veeru. But then he stares at Shamoli's goodness. Her giving. And is perplexed by the contradiction in her attitude towards money & success. Veeru falls in love with someone he finds confounding, perplexing, contradictory. Intriguing combination of good and bad. And smoulderingly attractive. Probably because he is confident in his future. He knows he too will be someone soon. Shamoli is a challenge. Her dreams are huge. And he believes he can fulfill them. He is just as confidant as she is, but his ways are different. He is loyal & kind to his bhaiyaa. Or are they that different?? We shall see.]

Part II

VeLi arrive home, and Kanta Thai (KT) is home. V taunts S about the outhouse and that she is too good for home food now. Feed her pizza. Some more random KT humour and then she leaves.

Pizza-ameeri-gareebi nok jhok [teasing] between VeLi and then he is back to trying to steal a kiss [or more] from Shamoli. Shamoli expresses her displeasure at the kissing stuff [you and me both, girl. you and me both. don't kiss please. uff.. my kmh hangover is in the way again. ok .. kiss her.. just warn me so i dont watch that episode.] and she continues teasing him. Veeru, in a moment of passion, tells Shamoli 'Don't mess with me or i'll become just like the other men you've come across.' [i.e. i'll become a creep too. cool, no?] And they sleep in their respective rooms.

[There were taunts here that will last a lifetime. Plus, she doesn't like intimacy cause she associates it with force. Interesting. He defi wants intimacy. Make no mistake. Ha! Finally, Veeru does some tremendous foreshadowing.. he will become less-than-kind if she messes with him. He will become 'like the rest'. Wow. Those are words that will echo in our ears again and again.]


Part III

Kunal Mehra is partying with his family. And seems really happy. But he can't seem to get Shamoli out of his head. He talks giberish with his brother about winning and losing. 'I don't understand if i lost or won.' and the scene ends on his obsessing over Shamoli.

[And here begins a lasting obsession/relationship. fantastic.]

***
Random Thoughts.

And now begins the path to mayhem. Veeru's passion, Kunal's obsession, Shamoli's convictions, and how they come together and explode.

0. Trust no one more than yourself. This is Kunal Mehra's lasting advice to Veeru. In fact, Veeru's greatest flaw (as per Kunal) is that he is too trusting. However, he will lose this naivety soon enough as he is betrayed by both Shamoli and Kunal [knowingly, and unknowingly].

1. Shamoli is still cold, and the least appealing character to me, but she is mysterious. That is her appeal. Two very strong men have fallen head over heels for her today, and she has the power over them.

2. While yesterday (and today's) passionate love scenes between Veeru & Shamoli [VeLi.. love it!][hangover from my Arjun-Arohi love .. sorry] initially turned my stomach upside down , it is absolutely necessary to see the depths of Veeru's attraction for Shamoli. Otherwise, how does it make sense for him to turn his life upside down because of her? His will, with time, prove to be a fatal attraction. Wait for it!

3. While on the topic of the Veli romance, Shamoli seemed like a cat, clawing at her prey, playing with her food. Veeru is SO her midnight snack. Fascinating. [I will enjoy hating her. LOL]

4. Once again, might I reiterate, Kanchan, from no angle, seems strong enough a character [actress? don't know yet] to stand up with Kunal the Egoist, Veeru the Scorned, or Shamoli the Opportunist.

5. How does Rahul, the Yudhistra-like nephew, fit into this Mahabharat, I wonder? I see Veeru as Arjun-esque. [Or could it be that Rahul is Arjun-like, and Veeru is the Karan of the story? [Karan is Karan.. HA!]]

6. Perhaps Kanchan winds up with the nephew? And Veeru is left high-and-dry?

7. It seems it took me exactly 5 weeks to get interested in this story. [Or maybe it just took the entry of Karan Kundra. Ha! That's probably a little closer to the truth!]

Cheers folks.. hope you enjoyed my summary and the episode. Till next time.

Tulika.

And now, a few rules for this forum. Feel free to twist as required - so please don't take them too seriously!!

1. Please refrain from bashing characters, we at IF promote actor bashing 🤣

2. Morphing is FUN!! Ask Karishma (aapni-wali not mehra 😆) about it'if you don't like it (when we morph that is), pretend you never saw it 😆

3. Adda Annex is at Facebook, so you know what we are hinting at! Shame on you if you haven't yet added us!! 😆

4. We LOVE differing opinions, agreeing to anything and everything is BORING (and we mean it) Embarrassed

5.Please don't use @name, we're watching a BT serial let's clutter...so the Mantra of the season is SPAM Big smile

6. Jyoti - hugs. Come back sooooooon!😆

After Ceasar's assasination in 44 BC, she aligned with Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar's legal heir Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian (later known as Augustus. With Antony she bore a set of twins, and another son. After losing the Battle of Actium to Octavian's forces, Antony committed suicide. Cleopatra soon followed suit on August 12, 30 BC

The Spider and the Fly
Mary Howitt
Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I've a many curious things to shew when you are there."
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."


"I'm sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
Will you rest upon my little bed?" said the Spider to the Fly.
"There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest awhile, I'll snugly tuck you in!"
Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "for I've often heard it said,
They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!"


Said the cunning Spider to the Fly, " Dear friend what can I do,
To prove the warm affection I 've always felt for you?
I have within my pantry, good store of all that's nice;
I'm sure you're very welcome -- will you please to take a slice?"
"Oh no, no," said the little Fly, "kind Sir, that cannot be,
I've heard what's in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!"


"Sweet creature!" said the Spider, "you're witty and you're wise,
How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!
I've a little looking-glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you'll step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself."
"I thank you, gentle sir," she said, "for what you 're pleased to say,
And bidding you good morning now, I'll call another day."


The Spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew the silly Fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the Fly.
Then he came out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
"Come hither, hither, pretty Fly, with the pearl and silver wing;
Your robes are green and purple -- there's a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead!"

Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little Fly,
Hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue --
Thinking only of her crested head -- poor foolish thing! At last,
Up jumped the cunning Spider, and fiercely held her fast.
He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,
Within his little parlour -- but she ne'er came out again!


And now dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart and ear and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly.

aajka bhao- NEGATIVE! 😡 😡 😡

Wow Tulli.......👏......

oh Kunal u don't need shamoli but me because I can stand up to u anyday and I can also be equal to u even more then u can ever think of or inmagine, so u see hun it's me u need not her.

Time for pointers::::WARNING....shamoli n ekta lovers refrain from reading::

1)I so hate the love scenes...its bloody getting on my nerves...kk is trying so hard to bring in that passion n blatant sensuality in his scenes with shamoli but each time she dissapoints me further n further....this girl is just hopeless...today again she emoted nothing, smiled cattily n delivered dialogues brainlessly..ufff i am so tired of criticizing her yet who's listening??😡....this girl has one of the most powerful roles seen in indian telly..she is a prime madonna, a manipulator of emotions, a character of intrinsic shades, a girl aware of her hold on mankind, yet the girl acts flat each n every day....objectively her role is a mass of contradictions but cud she act any worse n make it any more one directional....VG plzzz man change her yaar..bring some powerful heroine...just becoz the gal luks intimidating tht dsnt make her the same too...she shud have some depth in her acting and till the time this girl hones her acting skill its better to shelve her.

2)EKTA Kapoor..wats got into you? are u so uncreative and short on money that u cannot hire new music directors...i am so fed up hearing kmh bg music ,,its just not funny more..infact its damn pissing off...but looks like just like u even we have to shut her ears off!!

3)kk is just getting better and better....he is superb in his romantic scenes and its not his fault if his costar lack even .1% zing...she has smart dialogues , sexy overtones yet when she starts speaking i feel like just putting earplugs....i like the contrast between kk in kmh(he ws a shy lover unaware of basic urges and the way to express his love) and kk in baytabb(he is a man driven by lust, a character who doesnt hesitate in showing his need for physical love).....i find stark similarities between veeru and milind n i think sumwhere down the line the story is definately going 'kayamath' way.

p.s --ppl who dnt know much abt kayamath, plzzz feel free to pm me...il update u wid the story n the similarites'

tulli.....amazing...very very well ritten....

karishma is gona puck today...if that moli kissed kk thn i would have died seriously🤢



p.s. man this girl is not only a bhoot stealer man...she is also a player🤣🤣 veeru says what if i wont be able to afford to buy u 5 star hotel food....bhootni says than someone else will🤣🤣p.s. she means kunal will😆.....and veerus face is like I WANT KRITIKAAAAAAA I WANT KRITIKAAAAAAAAA😆😆😆
🤣
