I checked my previous post to see where I had left off coz seriously I couldn't rememberš² I thought it was hard not to watch YR, but it wasn't. In fact, I didn't watch even when I got a chanceš² That is how wonderful India was & being in India meant to me. What I have been missing these past years? Love & warmth even from strangers which is what makes India so specialšš¼
Some homes were tuned to regional soaps, some to news - same old corruption charges; not sure what is so fascinatingš Only the names & the type of charge seems to be different. Some were tuned to Zee, not sure who Somnath is but the nose ring isn't a crowd puller;𤢠some were tuned to Sony, Mr Kapoor, Mr Walia, what's the difference? Same old stuff with a new spinš„± Some had Colors on, some notorious guy hanging upside down & being tortured YR was not on in any home I visitedš²š²
I remembered YR airtime every now & then or could have caught the re-runs at the least but I simply didn't coz the glimpses I had wasn't very encouraging, rasm, rasm & more rasm...Wohi endless Nishmi shaadi. Now for the not so encouraging glimpses I saw.
- Dracula doing a Salman for haldi, going shirtlessš; CV's were desperate to show this one & finally didš¤¢
- RR finding the hidden jhootha; a visibly upset Naitik limping in those oversized dark shades. He wasn't the only one w/sore eyes after that oneš He only had to sing andaa hun paisa dedho to complete that picture...𤣠Sorry Naitik fans...š
- Mamaji complaining about pouring himself hot water for his bath & our dutiful bahu to save the dayš„±
- Baisa asking about bahu's pregnancy; Bindiya ko aashirwad, a teary Akshara watchingš„±
- Part Naksh scene, Akshara running away (after 2yrs of marriageš²) & Naitik chasing her. These 2 shouldn't be running; neither is graceful while running After 2 yrs, we as audience see it but the director/CV's don't? Isn't it their role to accentuate their positive traits?š
- The ad w/Anshu doing drugs or was it just cigarettes? How did he find his dopey friends at the wedding?šš¤¢
- Picture of a crying Akshara at Rashmi's bidaai; does the director still have a job after this one? š
Now for my dilemma which I need help withš¤ I haven't watched anything that lead to or followed these scenes.Do you seriously think I should go back & watch the last month? Either way you feel, quote the most beautiful & the most absurd scene for the past month. Do you really think it's worth it to go back & catch up on the past month? Have I missed out on anything special? Divi - no Nishmi SR, pls...šš¤¢
OT - One of the most beautiful moments for me was my son seeking blessings (impromptu) from the driver who drove us on 2 different occasions. The driver was so moved by his gesture, he rushed to go buy him dairy milk. He could have simply taken the tip & gone away but he cared enough for a stranger's child he had barely spoken toš There were several such moments but this one is still fresh coz it happened just before we left. That is the India most of us love & cherish; Sulo is just an aberration.
