the woes of Sid

Hey all,

Sid hasn't had the easiest time in Sanjeevani; he gets called over to India forcefully and on his first day of work he has an accident! Is there a light at the end of this dark, apparently never-ending tunnel? The "silver-lining" for Siddy turns out to be the adorable, simple "Miss puppy gayab" Tamana.

He finds himself gazing at her and everything goes into slow motion, he notices things he never did before- the colour of her eyes, how the wind that tangles itself in her silky hair. But HOLD ON A SECOND!

Miss puppy gayab?! When? How? What? Whyy was he suddenly obsessed with her? Why could he hear distant church bells when she looked at him? It just wasn't possible...There was no way he could "like" her..so what if there was a "guys family" who was coming to see her...it didn't make a difference to him , and besides they were friends he was permitted to ask questions...

He's infuriated by Tamana's passiveness, she retorts "What difference does it make to you?!"...that one question and all the emotions surge out and overwhelm him..."There's something between us Tamana...don't you feel it?" he shouts at her, almost pleading with her to understand...but she doesn't. He's shocked, embarassed but he's decisive this time, of course he misconstrued the relationship, if she didn't reciprocate the feelings it had all been one-sided, pretty much non existent, a figment of his imagination.... they had always been friends-there was love but not the way he had percieved it. He was the foriegner who couldn't plead ignorance like a tourist because he was expected to learn the language fluently which is where Tamana came-an angel to guide him! A colleague who had saved him from being suspended..he accepted it, from now on FRIENDS ONLY.

Yet how many situations does it take-religiously god gives the opportunities for you to comprehend your soulmate and otherwise its all about chemistry!
Dia invites all the team to her party, but even in the crowd Tamana feels isolated-her eyes scan the room back and forth, she may have missed him the first couple of times...why was everyone looking at her, amused? She composes herself and she suddenly hears everyone call him over, greeting him. She looks up and his face alone is reason for her to smile automatically...avoiding everyone's eyesight he looks directly at her, acknowledging each other's presence.

For Sid, Tamana's drunkenness came as a godsend, finally he could get her to confess...but first he really needed her to stop talking! Commencing with questions and accusations...but concluding with a hug ..wow. He knew they were meant to be together...so why didn't she agree? The drink clearly kicked in and being a gentleman he was inclined to take her home...any other day any other time, walking would have been the equivalent to a death sentence. A walk that took an hour compared to his imported bright yellow car the speeding machine would have got her home in just over 5 minutes if that! The choice was obvious, but he still found himself struggling to say no to her...and she knew he liked her...he admitted it. Now it was just a case of getting her to admit her feelings, drunk or sober!

She sat there on the park bench, the same wind blowing her hair, the world seemed almost perfect...just Sid and Tamana...but their relationship? The question pained him, he needed her...and she him? and she him!...didn't she? First to fewer the distances; he sits beside her deciding to try a different approach, he catches her eye, which they say "are the windows to the soul"....no lies now. The truth would come out today, he had nothing to lose..."Don't marry Aniket" an unequivocal request. She's puzzled "Why?", is it the drink or a genuine invitation for him to confess his love? He takes a hold of her hand, almost immediately he can feel sparks between their touch, and places it on his thudding heart, even more so as she gets drawn towards him. She agrees, "Yes, my heart is beating rapidly too, as if theres something between your heart and mine..". He finishes, " a connection"....she hapily concurs. And there it was the perfect moment, "You won't forget this tomorrow will you Tamana?" she playfully says "And what if I do...?" And its even more painful than before, its true he doesn't want her to forget, how to remind her? He grabs the rose he presented to her, symbolising his love, her beauty and cuts her across the hand. He looks at the tears forming in her eyes, but where there's love there's pain too. And he wants her to experience the suffering he hasbeen through-sitting there looking at each other with hurt; Sid's anguish over what tomorrow will bring, and Tamana over what has just happened.

Fast forward and we find ourselves at the airport. Tamana's departure, leaving behind her ayi-baba, the children at the chawl, Sanjeevani, fellow interns, colleagues and friends, Naina, Yuvi, JP and Jiggy....and her best friend Sid. Best friend? Then what was all that about before? Her confession? She admitted there was something between them, how could she just ignore it all in a split second? Sid finds himself following her there with the same questions in his mind...she can't leave when it was she for whom he stayed behind himself! It was so selfish of her, he sacrificed his life in Houston his friends his lifestyle and even became a temporary next door neighbour to her to acknowledge her way of life... look how the tables had turned SHE was going to Canada?! Not possible...she had become an important aspect of her life, work would not be the same, his friends would not be the same..he would not be the same. "You don't love me" she'd said. It was one thing for her to refuse his proposal but on the other hand to brand him a liar, he wasn't a child, no matter how much she tried to impose that on him. He could make his own decisions and understand his feelings for her, it was just a way to make it easier for him to forget her..but that was impossible now he was in too deep. She gestures to him, "keep smiling" and a goodbye gift and she turns to leave...walking...walking...walking...and then she stops.
He knew it, he knew she'd return to him, he opens his arms contemplating a lover's reunion, that hug which would fill the hole in his chest. She stops an inch before him and drops to the ground picking up a ring, she sheepishly grins, "sorry it had fallen off"....He thinks-you have got to be KIDDING ME?!

And that was it, she was gone, a final wave, only the gift he holds in his hand accounting to materialistic evidence that she had been standing there, that he had actually met her, that she actually existed. That they had just separated from one another....

=> Hope you guys liked it! Please do comment, the concept of the post came to mind after I decided to watch "Sid-Tamana" scenes on youtube, their chemistry is absolutely incredible! The purpose of the post was to contest the idea by the CVs that Tamana doesn't love Sid though everything especially their last couple of weeks together hinted towards it! I actually miss them BOTH together so much and the realisation only hit me after watching the two together! Atleast the CV's have provided the option of Tamana coming back seen as she's only "gone to see Canada" but she'll only marry Aniket once back in town yes??! All good!

Ciao! x

i don't know wht to say....i loved ur post 👏..high on emotions 😊....i was in tears when i finished 😭....it was like u opened thoses unhealed wounds💔..🥺

WOW! what can I say except that is a truly touching and very precise relevation of the SidNa pair. Bravo!!!! Hats off to you.

@topicmaker:- This was one of the most sensible posts I have read on Sidna jodi. I have been a fan of Karan wahi since I saw him in Mere ghar aayi ek nahni pari on Colors with Mugdha chapekar. The jodi was so beautiful and ethereal(the story sucked big time though and was the reason the show closed doors within 6 months) that it was really hard for me to accept Moulshree as Tammana the girl opposite Karan in DMG. I am being truthful and honest here and the pulled up hair with no parting and the knee length yellow salwar suit didn't raise the impression of her either. But slowly and surely this girl did make her impression on me and by the time the Kuchh kaas hai sequence was aired their chemistry was very evident. I agree Yuna had more fans because of their hatke love story but Sidna too started to gain the fan following after the Kuch khaas hai sequence was aired.

The love story was developing at a slow pace but the creatives could have added lot of angle to it like how Sid learns people live in chawl and how life looks different when you don't have money colored glasses on you. I like Sidna story for 2 reasons, one was because of Karan and two because every girl someday or other dreams of a handsome knight in shining armor who sweeps her off her feet and carries her to his kingdom to live happily ever after and this could have been shown so beautifully with this pair. I am sick and tired of shows which show only rona dhona and for a change wanted a happy love story. But no the cvs had to rain on my parade. They did a a stupid U-turn and packed the character Tammz out of the show and in they brought Riddz to be paired with Sid. I don't deny that Karan and Jennifer do share excellent chemistry but for me this pairing really kills the essence of both the characters. I would want Sid to grow up and really know where he went wrong with his first love but alas the CVS don't want to show any of those things. Instead they get a small girl named Tammana to remind Sid of his lost love.

I do hope the cvs creatives read this post and understand the state this serial is in right now.

i agree 2 all of u.......reading all those wonderful things brought back the sidna magic in front of me.i c all their scenes everyday n still wait in the hope that moulshree wid b back in the show n sidna jodi wil unite...........sid is no more the same now.dmg has become horrible wid ridhhima coming back.this show was now only abt new interns n the cvs could have continued wid that...i miss my sid n tamanna 2 gether sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much..........their romance n interactions were just perfect n soooooooooooooooooooooo damn cute that i could b felt as if it was really happening between the 2..........pls pls pls pls cvs bring back moulshree n no1 else as tamanna n plsssssssssssssssssssssssss unite sidna jodi.they made fr eachother

That was a very nice post....i too love sidna a lot and would want her to return to sid and they realise their love for each other...hope they end sidna story on a happy note unlike others in dmg...

what can i say?wonderful post...actually i started liking dmg 2 after seeing sidna lovestory develop...but i don't understand how the cvs very conveniently and easily pack off characters from their serials...and i think its as easy for them to bring tams back...how come they never thought of showing any tams fbs????yeah i understand...they had this sadma track in mind...so how could they even show sid remembering her????what is this stupidity?????all fans wanted to see ar together and not rid and sid...how could they even think that it would work????no one is so stupid to accept sid in place of armaan...they could have brought back rids but at the same time its not very difficult to accomodate tams in the story...i think story writers job is such that they can accomodate characters in the serial...but no...may be they don't have enough money...they could only either pay tams or rids...if that was their problem v fans could hve easily thought of a solution..
