Today, Dev just jumped headlong into a river- i sincerely hope it is not the Yamuna- technically it is a dead river and you will get any number of water borne diseases. The E. coli content in the water is at an alarmingly high level that thinking about it can cause diarrhea. We want our Dev safe, likewise Rads was getting water from the said river- bad idea.

In the precap they showed Rads with a Tanjore veena in her hand but the sounds of a sitar were emitting in the sound track- careful CVs- the bass sound of a veena cannot vie with the high shrill sound of the sitar- 2 very different instruments and there are thousands watching this show who know no better and u are not "educating" them.


This is E Gayathri, an amazing veena artist


The legendary Pt. Ravi Shankar himself with his instrument.

There are many difference - physical as well as tonal between the veena and the sitar. I am glad they did not pretend it to be a tanpura which has no frets but is used to give sur.

Cvs- a humble request- please do some research- visual media in the digital age demands research.

Blokes, I had the same concern but then I remembered that they shot for all this at Narmada river.

Too funny about Sitar and Veena sounds. I can take these bloopers if they would keep the script and characterizations consistent. Now keeping the story interesting (without running for TRPs) and having no bloopers don't go hand in hand for Hindi soap creatives. Remember in CB1, either Avinash or Rubina's hair style or makeup would change in a middle of a scene. That was tolerable but when they would change their own narrative in every other episode towards the end, that was unbearable.

why3! i couldn't resist this post!!! Right after my Yamuna post, I was like- WHAT? How can you have our darling Dev jump into that polluted river?!!! It is sure suicide!! 😭

On top of that dear rads faithfully carrying pots of water to "clean" the temple premises. 😔

It is surely time to integrate the idea of keeping our rivers and lakes and ponds clean through Cb- maybe we should all start another email blitz as suggested in the other post by radev someone. What say?

Actually I wouldn't mind doing that. I am quite busy for next two weeks. But I can write a letter after that. It would be a refreshing change to see RP doing something more than rituals. What better than talk about an environmental project such as cleaning rivers. It is a must for India as we are not only destroying our heritage but also doing injustice to future generations.
