The theme of today's episode? Day One Wake up Calls!
What a bucketful of dramas - and especially wake-up calls - have happened right on Day One of this new shaadi ... every two minutes of this episode we have seen something new bursting forth giving a major surprise and shake-up up to somebody in that house ...
Drama 1: Aarti's wake up procedure for poor Yash!
Poor dear Yash had his wake up call with a scratching of his head and the endearments of "Shonu" and was almost about to get a good morning kiss, but he managed to duck just in time, and cough and splutter to the safety of the bathroom!
Drama 2: Paridi's wake up jobs for Pratik!
Poor dear Pratik got a taste of his future life when he had to serve bed tea to his new wife. He looked like he had made all the preparations anticipating that this will be his daily job hereafter! Luckily his mother did not see the bed tea routine or she would have had a heart attack!
Drama 3: Ansh's wake up fashion statement for Palak and Payal!
Poor dear Palak and Payal have got their taste of life with this "sandow" brother, who sleeps in only his chaddi and spreads himself across the whole bed and knocks off everybody else! I feel sorry for the little boy, though, because he too is getting a raw deal in his new home!
Drama 4: Ansh's wake up call to gossipy lady guest!
I loved the way Ansh told that gossipy friend of Gayatri's to stop referring to his nangu-pangu status and go wear her specs - because he is after all wearing such a big chaddi! By the way that lady was already getting on my nerves and I thought she deserved that shot from Ansh!
Drama 5: The kids' wake up call to Papa Scindia!
The grand old man of the house got a startling surprise walking into the room where broken vases and thrown furniture signalled the beginning of a new life where the kids showed they planned to be forever at each others' thraots. In the end all that Papa Scindia could do in the midst of this disarray was to order his wife to conduct her rasams on time and thus shoo away the spectating guests.
Drama 6: Papa Dubey's wake up call for Shobha!
Poor Shobha had made enough pooris and sabzi for an entire army! And in typical "yearning mother" style was expecting either Aarti and Ansh to suddenly turn up at the front door, or at least make a phone call. Papa Dubey thankfully stepped in to put an end to her daydreams ... and I suspect he must have eaten all the pooris also!
Drama 7: Gayatri's trouncing wake up call for Aarti!
All through the episode I was waiting for Gayatri to blow up at Aarti in utter frustration. It finally came right at the end of the epsiode. Gayatri must be at her wits end, so we can sympathse with her also. But the tight shot she gave Aarti - to not let her son spoil the happiness of her family - clearly blew the whistle in favour of Gayatri today. Aarti and Ansh seemed to be asking for it!
Drama 8: Ansh's wake up call for Yash, mid-action in the loo!
Ansh calling out to Yash to end his bathroom routine fast and vacate the bathroom was good fun. He looked like he had caught Yash at an inconvenient moment? Hehehe ... I enjoyed that scene ... and also then seeing "our favourite towel" again gracing his presence as he emerged from the bathroom! I am so getting used to Yash in a towel, that when he wears more clothes, he looks overdressed!
All in all, I think we've all had a glimpse of the kind of utter chaos to expect in this household, so full of every kind of character under the sun. It was not an episode that contained a lot of drama for the viewers, but it sure had a lot of drama for the inhabitants of the Scindia household.
I almost thought Yash would make an appearance in that room where the kids were creating havoc, and I even thought he may help put an end to the kids' fighting and the grown-ups over-reacting ...
... but he had chosen to complete his important work "aaram se" in the loo ... I can't complain about that, now, can I?.
