FRONT PAGE
KN's changes mind about second marriage. Takurs enraged, Krishna pleased with brother's change of mind. Prats surprised and excited, Kesar confused and skeptical by KN's decision.
SCAM makes quick getaway with his ma'am after Prats spots him in public twice just this week.
Saxes demand proof against SCAM's two-timing ways, rejects Prats's story outright
Arushi relays Prats's story to SCAM, heedlessly fuels his con game further
Takurain takes page out of Prats's book and talks back to SS. Takur SS throws wife out of Niwas.
Krishna lives up to his "saat dena' promise and supports Prats in blowing the whistle on conartist SCAM. When Prats returns home hurt and sad, Baba goes ballistic and takes matters into his own hands to ensure Prats's wishes are fulfilled and he real face of pale face SCAM is exposed to Arushi.
ART & MUSIC
Krishna is frustrated as he tries to get his stereo working again when Prats returns from her maike after an emotionally draining day. Will we see Baba and Babu boogie into the night in their little corner paradise within the Niwas?
SPORTS
Prats sprints for a marathon down the corridors of the mall looking for SCAM and his ma'am. But they manage to give her the slip and make a quick getaway. She continues untilshe runs into Krishna heading up the stairs in search of her.
Krishna stops SS from playing paddle tennis on KN's face with his joota for humiliating him in the presence of prospective bride's parents. Krishna reminds SS to keep it on his feet where it belongs.
SS aims his joota at Krishna but misses his target and ends up whacking a sleeping KN on the head and waking him up from his sweet dreams about Arusia. When his second joota misses his ducking betas once again KN offers him his own pair of joothas for SS's extra practice.
Jootha maar is a sport played by the Takurs on a regular basis. It has been SS's choice of prasaadi to use joota in place of his hands to prevent them from stinging after use. He surprises his family when he takes up the sport again this week after a long hiatus, Krishna finally speaks up against his father's indulgence in this cruel and inhumane sport in his presence especially when against his mother.
NOTANKI & ENTERTAINMENT
Amma calls out out to Alopi Mayya for the disappointment of never having an heir to the Takur empire. She conveniently forgets she caused Kesar to lose her baby. She whines that Prats will never let her touch her baby ever. The look that Ganti Dadi and Krishna share with gestures was a fabulous moment of non-verbal communication between grandson and grandmother.
Amma refuses food brought to her by Piasiya and takes out her anger on Prats. She refuses to go back inside explaining that once he cools off SS will come for her and only then will she follow the protocol established by her mard.
TRAVEL
Krishna and Prats have a few outings this week spending time away from the Niwas. There is still enough drama at the Saxes to make up for it. They spend time at the mall marred by sighting a two-timing Aman there. After seeing SCAM with a mystery woman Kriya decide to let Saxes in on the disturbing story.
Adarsh should be extra careful maneuvering his tum-tum on the busy streets on Allahabad.
FAMILY & RELIGION
Krishna is proud KN has changed due to Prats's influence on the family. If he can change so much it won't be long before the rest of the family changes too.
KN promises a small army of little Katra Naresh and informs Takurain he has a different kind of magic going on now.
Shamu tells family he regrets Prats cannot be part of Arushi's wedding celebrations.
Arushi is sad Prats wont' be part of her marriage when she has always consulted her on irrelevant stuff. Her mood changes like a weather vane and soon enough she tells SCAM she doesn't want anyone who is not happy for her to attend her wedding including Prats and Krishna.
KN opines Arushi cannot marry SCAM, he is up to no good. Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? At least this pot knows he is black and lets it all hang out. The SCAM kettle is all shiny like aluminum on the surface but still back on the inside. Which one of these two men make the worst kind of dirty rotten scoundrels? Arushi attracts the rif-rafs into her life. First it was red lips Angadwa, then boorish KN and now the shiny penny SCAM. Sisters embrace and then it's war. Talk about denial. Her dreams of a Prince Charming riding on a white horse about to sweep her off her feet is about to be quashed so she refuses to face life. She doesn't realize she is going to be eating her words to her sister soon. Prats tells her family "You didn't trust me when I said I saw Aman with another woman at the mall and today at the hospital I saw the woman's face and it wasn't his bhabhi". They still don't believe her and demand proof. Like what? You want picture victure. Okie-dokie! Krishna does just that and gets Chandu his apprentice on the job to tail SCAM and gets the rotten goods on him asap. Knowing how efficient the devars have been in aiding Krishna bhaiyya during his days of pursuing Prats it won't be a surprise when they come back with the whole kit and kaboodle.👏
Prats is not sure why SCAM is up to his two-timing tricks but she is relieved that they found out the truth when there was still time to stop the wedding.
Arushi insults Krishna and blames his influence on her change of mind about SCAM now. He was a good man before so why change her mind now? Jealousy she claims. Yeah right! We'll find out who is jealous soon enough. Komal jumps on the bandwagon and insults Prats. Prats always remember even if it's your maike, never go any place where your spouse is not respected. Look how the very torchbearers of truth and sanskaar treated Krishna as if he was invisible when he accompanied you to your maike. They showed their true colors to you today when they refused to believe a word of what you said and demanded proof instead. See the flawed family that you bragged about all along crumble before your very eyes today. See the illusion that is your maik.e and admit they are human and as much faults as your sasural.
Takurain expresses her pride in being there to take the maar peet of her mard and standing by for her family's sake until her dying day.
FOOD
Krishna indulges Prats desire to eat some corn while at the mall and off to grant her wishes in a heartbeat. What a guy!
Nainaji offers Prats some besan ka halwa during her visit to maike with Krishna. Isn't that Krishna's favorite sweet acc' to Prats? So why was the Damadh of the house not treated to some sweets? Some sanskaar! Sad Saxes are all talk and nothing to show for it in real life.Ugh!
Jai offers to take Adarsh out for some yum-yum to make up for putting him in a tum-tum. Komal wants to go along and Dadi gives her blessings. Jai and Komal are enjoying treats in from street vendors while Adarsh sits sulking in his tum-tum refusing a bite to eat. Talk about being a bad guest. Why did he go out if he wasn't going to eat? Did he expect a sit down five-course meal at a five star hotel? After staying cooped up in the Green house for weeks with no where to go and nothing to do besides argue with Komal and read magazines, we'd think he would enjoy some fresh air and enjoy going out for a while. Instead he went on a self-pity trip while Komal ignored him and made the best of the moment enjoying all the food she could find outdoors. She even manages to get Adarsh to promise he'd take her out again.
AUTOMOBILES
Looks like this week the only vehicle on wheels was the tum-tum that Adarsh took a trip on into town with Jai and Komal. Even then the two brats left him alone and took off for some roadside bites that forced him to maneuver his tum-tum on his own in human and vehicular traffic. Dangerous in an emergency when incapacitated, Komal was very irresponsible to leave him alone and Adarsh was dumb da dumb dumb dumb to try to get through traffic on his own.
FASHION
Krishna praises Prats about lighting up the mall with her beauty in a saree. Asks her to replace her necklace with new one, she prefers to fix it.
SCAM and Ma'am leave the mall after she shows him her shopping bag and he seems pleased. Did she just burn off some of his cash at Victoria's Secret?
FINANCE/BUSINESS
Krishna warns his bauji that should KN and he team up against their father SS will have a hefty price to pay. SS rages at Krishna, was SS's net worth only 10 lakhs? In today's market, is 10 lakhs a lot of money?
METRO(Action around town)
Prats spots SCAM on the phone and before she could go over a woman meets him with shopping bags. SCAM is all smiles and pecking at his lady love until he sees Prats across the corridor of the mall. He hightails it out of there when Prats runs into some shoppers. Prats spots him leaving the mall hand in hand with the mystery woman.
HEALTH & MEDICINE
Krishna has a stomach bug. He is wincing in pain and Prats wants to know why. He tells her his stomach is churning. He confides he can handle large swords but is scared of syringe needles. Prats promises she will tell the doctor to give him medication instead of injections and takes him to the hospital to see the doctor.
Prats is waiting for Krishna in the hallways of the hospital when she spots SCAM with his Ma'am his arms around her as her head rests on his shoulder.
TECHNOLOGY
SCAM calls Saxes and tells Prof. his mother would like the wedding to take place next week as there may not be auspicious times ahead for another two years if they missed this one.
Prats calls Nandhini Mathur at Krishna's suggestion to confirm the story if she was indeed at the mall with her devar SCAM. Nandhini lies to cover up for SCAM and adds that it was too bad they didn't' get to meet.
Krishna tells Prats he is confident she can handle the matter about SCAM on her own. Just in case she needs him she can give him a buzz anytime.😳
Krishna calls Chandu and gives him his next assignment to tail SCAM and get the goods on him pronto so they can nail him before he ties the knot with Arusia.
EDUCATION, PHILOSOPHY & WISDOM
Educated people indulge their minds in activities like SCAM does.They have a face they put on and one they hide behind.
Krishna's English vocabulary expands to clear, confirm, automatic machine, maal(mall), thankoo,
If the truth is not revealed in time, her life will be ruined.
Prats to Arushi "You can't make Aman a good man by making Krishna a bad guy".
Arushi's "Happiness is strange". Well it is, especially for a teeny twit who rushes into marriage after getting sucked into SCAM's tricks. If you think the idea of being engaged is strange wait till the whole idea of marriage to a scheming SCAM blows up in your face soon. Then you will really understand what is NOT happiness and you can start all over after you get out of yourself out of self-imposed depression arising out of failure to listen to warning bells ringing in your ears. Live and learn!
Prats to Arushi..."Whatever happens in our lives happens for the best. When things go wrong we don't understand it and think everything is going wrong. But after you come out of it, then you realize whatever happened was right."
Pratigya School is set to begin November 15th. Your classroom placement and other pertinent information will be posted by Midnight IST on Nov 13th. 2010. All students please report to the school by 8:00 am IST to begin the first day of school.
CLASSIFIEDS
DETECTIVEGIRI
Prats questions Saxes re: proper investigation of Aman and his family, need to find more about them.
Aman was with another woman, not Nandhini bhabhi as he has told a story to Arushi. Prats didn't see her face at the mall, but she sees her at the hospital confirming her suspicions.
MATRIMONIALS
KN is not sure that SCAM is the right man for Arushi. SS warns him from even thinking he is a better choice for her instead.
The parents of the prospective bride selected by the Takurs for KN 's second wedding are visiting them at the Takur Niwas. SS explains his reasons for KN's second marriage and accepts the rishta. But KN appears and drops a bomb on SS & SDS, he is not interested in getting married now.
SCAM wants to move up the date of the wedding to next week. Silly Sad Saxes don't question his urgency. Family will come to discuss in a day or two.
"Come into my web of lies " said Spider SCAM to Arushi and she walked right into it blinded by the idea of being in love. When the proof filled bomb drops courtesy of Kriya then we'll see how much dhum she has left in her to go on her ranting. The man she has put on a pedestal is rotten on the inside and out. She better get a serious attitude check before she plans marriage! No man will tolerate this fishwife behavior for a lifetime and stay faithful to her at the same time. UGH! Some kind of sanskaari behavior!
KRIYA EXCLUSIVE WEEKLY: "SAAT" SPECIAL MOMENTSl
He praises Prats beauty in a saree at the mall. She says "I have everything, just want to eat corn". The way he makes a face mimicking her sad sack face was hilarious.
Krishna questions Arushi "a lieyer spins you a story and you blindly buy it. Your sister is telling you the truth and you don't accept her word." The way Krishna jumped to Prats's defense in front of her family was great.
Krishna tells Prats "there is nothing for you to worry about, Hum tumri SAAT hai". He fulfills his saat dena promise every time. He advices Prats to call Nandhini bhabhi to confirm the story Arushi gave her.
Krishna tells Prats "If you can change me, you can change every member of this family", pleased that KN changed his mind about second marriage.
Prats asks Krishna "can't you stay alone even for a little while?" when he tells her she has kept him impatiently waiting for her.
The way Babu teased Baba "tell me what the problem is, will you tell a neighbor instead of your wife" when he had stomach pain.
Baba pacifies Prats after her return from maike worried and upset. A single teardrop falls on his hand and he goes ballistic that SCAM dared to give her so much grief. He sets his plan in motion to unmask pale face SCAM to his sasural Sad Saxes. What a guy!
TAKUR COMICS
Baba's has a stomach bug and Prats teases him out of his fear of doctors and needles and gets him to go to the doctor.
The Takur men's daily notanki of playing joota maar. Quarterback SS didn't connect with his receivers but beat up the defensive tackle. Krishna calling out "Amma, Amma" like a little child. It was THE LALLANTOP SEGMENT of the week and a highlight moment in the history of the show to date. Let's hope we are treated to such scenes in the coming weeks. The Takurs are the best at providing the theatrics, notanki, diraama and comedy of the best variety and this unpud family has more heart than the educated sanskaari Sad Saxes who have copyrighted "pareshaan" for exclusive use. What a sad sorry family lot! Let's hope they don't seep the joy out of Komal in the long run. Have we ever seen any of them laugh out loud in all this time? This could be a rare moment if they did. If you think you did, please share the moment with us in your comments.
