Indian serials were never my cup of tea
Some thought this was a real pity
Those BT serials I could not comprehend
Their story lines for starters I could not understand
Then one fine day there came a breath of fresh air
I discovered LNMDJ, a serial beyond compare
None of this annoying BT stuff was shown
The storyline and the characters were sensible
Oh what a boon.
Ila Gujral was an amazing person
She was a top notch business woman
But to her three daughters she was just their mom
Their relationship was wonderful and warm
The sisters doted on each other
It was such fun to watch them together.
The three brothers were raised in a loving family
Far away from Bombay by their mom in Manali
They came to Bombay because they had a date with destiny
They fell in love with the girls they planned to use that was the irony.
Their parents gave them principles that they would never breach
They would never give up their morals their goal in order to reach
This we have heard over and over again-Varun say and Prithvi preach
In their 3-ki-sabhas and in many a speech.
Their morality was always above reproach
Their honesty and integrity always guided their approach.
Sameer was the only one who for a little while strayed
Prithvi made sure on the right path he eventually stayed.
The bonding between the brothers was a pleasure to behold
Even when Prithvi his brothers would angrily scold
Varun's loyalty was true and unquestionable
Prithvi made Sam do the right thing after that act unpardonable
Sam married Avni out of respect for his bro
Otherwise do you think his maksad madness would let him do so?
They were united in their maksad mission
They worked together really well to avoid suspicion.
To use the girls to get to Ila Gujral was part of the plan
But think about the maksad's entire time span
They always treated Ila and the girls right
They never abused them or reduced them to a sorry plight
I love that Damini was a strong character
A woman who spoke her mind and showed her anger
All the women were strong, confident and self reliant
Not some weak creature who was on a man dependent
Women were treated with respect on this show
They were intelligent, not useless and slow
The women on this show were bold and had stature
They were not reduced to being part of the furniture.
The love stories were woven so well
In love with the couples we all fell
The strife in the show was more because of personalities
And not because of nasty relatives or meddling mausis 🤢
There were never any class differences or struggles involved
Around inter-personal relationships this show revolved.
The revenge drama was based on a misunderstanding
That Ila was not their father's murderer, the boys had no way of knowing
The circumstances here were the villain of the piece
They pointed towards Ila being the destroyer of their family's peace.
How can I forget about my favorite Bandar 😳
Wasn't he quite a character
But even at his worst, to this level he never stooped
After they broke up at Damini he never even looked
Our bandar had better things to do with his life
All he wanted was really the money
He told Prithvi that he was not interested in his wife.
Everything on this show had a touch of class
Remember how contemporary and sophisticated the show was
Everything shot was pleasing and aesthetic
Be it "mar jawan" or the Savni wedding night
Everything was just so classic
No matter what they did the boys never crossed the threshold
Of the limits of decency, that was just pure gold.
That Tuna scene today was particularly a low blow
In the history of this amazing show
That scene made we want to puke
How could this show to this lowly level stoop
Yesterday we were flying fantastically high
Today we are ready to say goodbye?
Somewhere in my heart is a tiny hope
That this show will be saved
and not turn into another BT soap
Let us see what tomorrow brings
How the makers present things
I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed
And praying that to the wolves
Damzie does not get tossed
Tomorrow is D-day for everyone involved
I hope everything goes well and all our fears are proved wrong.
~ Jhanavi ~OK I know I am contradicting myself......but come on guys I am as confused as you.....but then.....(long sigh).....I am an eternal optimist.......and I promised to trust the CVs also....so please let us give them another chance......let us see what tomorrow brings......if our worst fears are realized (hope not hope not hope not.....hoping against hope 😵) .......I will deal with that tomorrow. I had to dig deep really deep within myself to find this hope......actaully I wrote the first part of the poem and considered it done.......but then the last para kind of wrote itself...............so reliving the memories of the days gone by made me hopeful.
