Dear Trish,

As always, I feel more for you in this depressing situation than I do for either Arjun or Purvi or both. I am harder hearted than you are, but it is getting to me as well, as you cannot have failed to notice from my fulminations since Friday last!

Despite all this, I still do hope that their relationship gets back on the rails. It will, but when it does, it will, unfortunately, never be the same as immediately after the airport scene and the one at the mandir the morning after. There is a snake in their Garden of Eden, and no, it is not Ovi. It is lack of compassion and understanding on Purvi's side, and lack of clear thinking and assertiveness on that of Arjun.

Of course it is all as much Arjun's fault as Purvi's - she is able to trample all over him because he lets her. I only hope he does not start pleading with her again and humiliate himself further. Nothing is worth that, least of all a love that denies its own existence. Masochism never helps anyone, it is invariably self-destructive.

There was another thing I could not understand, as I had mentioned in another post. That is Arjun's total lack of focus and his unpreparedness. He is a hard core and very successful businessman, and he knows that for any important business meeting you HAVE to prepare well in advance, and when you make a presentation you MUST to anticipate the likely questions and have the answers ready. This is the SOP for any professional meeting, and I have done this hundreds of times in my career.

How then does it come about that for this, perhaps the most important meeting of his life, he did not seem to have worked out what he wanted to say at all ? Nor was he prepared for tackling the accusations that Purvi would be bound to hurl at him, and it would hardly have been difficult to guess them. Instead, he kept on saying "Meri baat to suno' again and again, till Ms. Purvi rounded on him and told him not to be under the misapprehension that she had come there to listen to him; she had come to deliver her verdict!

Arjun was articulate enough in when he revealed his love to Purvi, and one wonders what happened to him in the interim. He resembles – I repeat myself but you will bear with me – nothing so much as a shorn Samson, bereft of both strength and focus. I hope this meltdown does not percolate into his business dealings, as it did for Purvi after her engagement was broken off. There will be no one to console him and boost his morale as he did then for Purvi.

I completely agree with (our) Archana that Arjun has to get" his fire and power back". He needs to rediscover his backbone and leave Purvi alone for as long as it takes. He should get his act together, and strive for self-possession in his interactions with Purvi. I am no admirer of the British in general, but there are times when there is a lot to be said for a stiff upper lip!

Coming to the latest promo, I cannot understand why he keeps on and one like a parrot about his telling Ovi the truth: he should first DO it.

In this context,
there has been a lot of (justifiable) criticism of Arjun for the way in which he seems to be dragging his feet on this. You might be interested in my take on this matter.

Initially - since his agreeing to marry Ovi seems to have been a quixotic decision taken, as he tells Aashana, to please her and both their families, and not any affair of the heart from his side - he probably thinks of it as something that can be repudiated without too much of a problem.

So when he calls Ovi the morning after the scene with Aashana, he tells her, without any hesitation or any preambles, that he loves someone else.

That is because she was then not face to face with him. Now that he has been unable to do it long distance, and has to look at her while he is telling all this - to a childhood friend, who has been going on and on about how much she loves him - it is MUCH more difficult. I find Arjun most exasperating and wimpish these days, but his hesitation in getting to the point quickly with Ovi, much as he wants to do so, is something I can readily understand.

But now there is NO point in telling Purvi till he has actually belled the cat. (A unexpectedly apt phrase, for as I had noted in the response to parameswaran that you had liked, Ovi is like nothing so much as a sleek well fed cat: stroke its fur just right and it will purr and lick your hand, but one wrong move, and it will snarl and scratch).

Still, there was something I liked about the new promo.

(1) Arjun tells Purvi that he realises that their relationship is over - which must have brought her up short at least inside. She can no longer have the pleasure of shutting doors in his face, literally and/or figuratively, as he pleads for her understanding. She won't like that - not having him to kick around any more, to paraphrase Richard Nixon.

(2) he has her by the shoulders, and I hope he shakes her good and proper till the cobwebs in her head are shaken loose. And if she trots out the sacrifice motif, I hope he tells her, as he did the morning after his confession of his love for her, that since she has decreed that their relationship is kaput, she has no business telling him what to do, and that he will do precisely as he pleases.


I am keeping my fingers crossed for the above to be at least halfway correct, and for Arjun not to lapse into his begging mode.
Any more shots of him playing Devdas, with or without the whisky glass, will make ME go postal!

As for Archana and her latest fit of tyaag, the less said the better, whether on Mother's Day or on any other day. I have never see a more stupid plot device.

She never gives a thought to the obvious fact that this 'sacrifice' is not hers alone to decide on. As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, we have a saying in Tamil "to take a coconut from the roadside stall and offer it to Lord Ganesha" - meaning that you make an offering of what is not yours (in this case, not yours alone) in the first place and thus gain merit undeservedly. This is exactly what Archana does when she rebuffs Manav's request that she come back with him to Canada (in a MOST unseemly fashion, but let that pass).

To assuage Sachin's hurt, she gives short shrift to the future happiness of Manav, Teju and Ovi (they would have grown to forgive her and love her very soon), not to speak of Purvi, who longs desperately to see her aai-baba reunited. This is not virtue or maternal love, it is an inexcusable fit of self-righteousness that takes no heed of what could be called 'collateral damage", in this case in a ratio of 4:1, one not achieved even in the often faulty drone attacks by the US and its allies in Afghanistan.

Shyamala.

yes, the ARVI magic has been lost. I agree. Earlier I used to feel good thinking about them. Now, I don't feel anything. Just being here, hoping something good will happen. They are dragging the track obnoxiously, and it is can be quite suffocating. I actually have a feeling they will drag this further. Hope I'm wrong. RD-Asha are really being wasted now on this show right now.

i dont know y people say dat archana is only sacrificing for sacchu but d fact is she thinks her children hate her and dey want shravani as dere mother ... even sacchu said to her dat your dont exist in your daughters life dey also want shravani aaie as dere mother ... whole reason for her sacrificing is her daughters happiness which she thinks is wid shravani
2) why people hate ovi she never came b/w arjun purvi ...arjun himself bought her in between themselves ... ovi just played d trick but she never forced arjun to promise her for getting married... he could have saved her from dose people and just leave from dere ... he shouldnt have said dat she is my fiance ... he could have played friends role... he invited dis trouble ... ovi is just other victim here ... she will be equally hurt and shattered as purvi infact more coz she has always loved him and dreamt about him

Lovely Post Shyamala

To be honest, I am not depressed anymore. Just feel like something I so liked (ARVI) has been taken away from me. But it is ok. It is just a fictional series after all. I am also not as keenly looking forward to any of the episodes that they might air next.

I really like your take on what Arjun needs to be doing right now. I wish he would chalk out a "Plan of Action" and not go unprepared to any of these personal meetings he needs to have with Ovi and Manav in due course. He needs to bell the cat before airing his views to someone who is not willing to listen to him right now. I had once mentioned in the Romeo and Juliet post, that he is aware of how Purvi behaves when she feels wronged; in spite of it he did not stop that engagement from happening. So, I was not surprised to see Purvi react the way she did. It was similar in content to what she had meted out to him the day after he had realized he loved her, right at her doorstep.

Arjun truly understands how she is, so he continues to forgive her, and also telling her he understands that it is now over between them, which in a way, is his way of easing the pressure off of her, as he knows the familial pressure she might be experiencing as a result of his engagement to her sister. This is his love for her. Once a man of action, Arjun, has actually been demoted, to being only a man of words ("I am going to tell Ovi" reiterates this to me everytime I hear it), and it began right from the day of the engagement. This is something which really takes away from his character. Once a man-of-action, always a man-of-action -- The CVs keep forgetting this. Yet, Arjun is an adorable person and truly wishes to right this wrong, and I have a feeling he will.

Purvi , even though is cussing Arjun, still has love for him, and this needs to be expressed in some way, either by her letting him speak or in another manner -- as her love too needs to find an outlet. This aspect of clash of words-action has been forgotten in her case as well. And what we see is an unfeeling woman, which might not really be the case, as is with Arjun, who really is a very brave man (shorn Samson -- like you pointed out)

I adore Arjun and Purvi and have forgiven them for all their bosh and foibles so far. There was a point where I simply disliked Arjun's behaviour, when he put that ring on Ovi, but the very next day, I had forgiven him and was finding excuses for why he might have done -- for what he did. The same goes for Purvi, I have forgiven her too, for her insipid remarks about Arjun's character, which we as viewers know are not true. My perspective is one of forgiveness right now, for both of them. But the CVs make me cringe (also because I know ARman track from earlier and ARman track from now, and the vast difference in treatment given to them both -- one was simply true love, and the other is total mayhem) --like someone mentioned in one of their posts ' they have a different set of writers for building love stories and another one for destroying them, for the sake of twists, dramas and TRPs. How can the same writers who might have penned ARVI's sublime love story so far have so mercilessly destroyed it? This set of separate group of writers' theory might just be true. I sense different hearts beating on the current track!

I also love your 4:1 analogy! ' Wish the CVs read this (4:1 analogy), and do something to extricate Archana and her loved ones out of this mess they have been put in. They need to gently and lovingly end both the tracks 'ARman and ARVI -- in the coming months, and give it the befitting sweet ending it so deserves.

Trish
