A good episode if you think of it as a non SR although I do have to admit, I was giggly with nervous excitement....Tonight I thought I was finally getting lessons on the deed(kernal jeeju's definition, KJD)....Armed with new found knowledge of laumaking, the knowledge gained today I thought would empower me.... After watching the episode, I decided KJD isn't my thing....Laumaking is!
And another moron(Shyam) was tuned in just like me...He had cameras from all angles....Abeyaar, they have video stores for these things.....Go rent one and make morni watch it too....That way you may get more than what we did today.....
Who writes these scripts guys? Seriously, is this the best you could come up with to postpone a SR? But you made my day for what it's worth... If the episodes weren't good the off screen drama was...Last 2 weeks have been like heaven, full on entertainment...Off screen, on screen, you name it....Forum has been abuzz, passion running high...Me a sadist, got a kick out of it...Fair enough, right? You use us, we use you...Do you seriously think I can be objective after this? You be the judge...
Onto the episode-Loved the opening dhak-dhak's, what every bride would feel....Apprehensive, nervous excitement and so much love for the man who was effortlessly carrying her into their room...A new beginning this time with all the love & respect she deserved....
A meaningful conversation ensued, who would think SR after the day's events? So much happened in less than 24hrs. The past once again came back to haunt them and he distances himself from his new bride. But the bride and he are on the same page tonight...After months of hatred they both get each other....She wants to apologize for no fault of hers, so Khushi....She did that when she was accused of causing Shyam to err....Tonight she thought she wanted to believe dadi's words, she caused the rift in the family.
A mellowed ASR comforts her, showing growth in his character...A new understanding....Last time he didn't hesitate to agree with her, she was the reason for his Di to lose her husband but this time he has learned his lesson. All along he was targeting the victim....But now he knows Khushi has always tried to embrace his family like his own...This time he was a witness, when nobody else stopped Dadi, Khushi did...When nobody else dared to bring Shyam, Khushi did...All for his happiness and that of his family...
But dadi wasn't on his mind tonight...But the dreaded past was....They are soul mates...They are connected to each other in a spiritual sense, like those who have lost dear ones do... He tells her she has been the one who has helped him forget the past, she has filled his life with pleasant memories...The FB's from the Thursday came to mind...Slowly but surely she had secured her place in his heart...That is what made him come back for her....
She is overwhelmed with emotions, she gives him a wonderful piece of advice, embrace those memories and cherish them....Never run from it...He knew she was right coz he has been doing just that lately....Cherishing the good times with his mother...He feels better already and they finally are at peace...First meaningful conversation in a long time...
The family scene was beautifully done; they could have put in more bodies to make it a real shaadi scene...Or made them play some useless games, not passing the pillow pleege....Oh, well...They always seem to be in a rush to get to Shyam...
Anjali asking him to promise her to keep his wife happy...They both mean the world to her...
Is Payalia staying? She is getting more scenes, I want to think yes...Cute jetji-bhabi scene...

Finally a smart ASR surfaces...I am glad this time it is not Khushi who finds it or else we have a mahaan Khushi hiding things once again...Will she finally tell Arnav she saw Shyam sneaking in and hence made the decision to get him in? That is a crucial piece of the puzzle that cannot be ignored...Anjali was also aiding the search for truth, unknowingly filling them in on significant leads...
It's a team...It is about understanding...It is about love...It is about sharing grief...It is a perfect partnership...
Now that we have control over ASR's emotions can he be a little more forceful? At least make Shyam run for cover, if not expose him completely just yet. After 350 episodes, aren't we entitled to know what Shyam's real motive is? Coz I'm losing interest in your near kisses, SR then SR NOT...So let's just cut the chase & go to your golden boy...
Wardrobe malfunction alert....The peacock theme... Was that a saree, a lehenga worn like a saree? Or like a true peacock, saree worn backwards??? With this stylist, I wouldn't be surprised...

SG's - There will not be a hangout this evening. I am giving the hangout a much needed break. So there will be no new hangouts for a while. We may re-group when/if I feel motivated to post. Please do not open anymore SG's hangouts when this has completed 150 pages.
Thank you to those who have made meaningful contributions to the hangout, it was my pleasure discussing the show and hanging out with you.The discussions were fun even though we may not necessarily have agreed with each other. But our opinions have evolved over time and that has been the most wonderful aspect of it all.
Thank you to all the silent readers, your likes are sincerely appreciated. It has been a fabulous run thus far and I want to keep it that way. I made some wonderful friends through this medium.
Thank you
-Sari
