21/11 Dagon Club: The Diyas and the Bomb - Page 27

I have written down all my feelings about the episode in responses. So much for not doing a take! 😆

I guess it is cut-copy-paste time. 😛

@ Samana...I confess i did not think about the cracker scene that way, and in fact enjoyed it becoz of Gurmeet's wonderful acting.however, I agree with what u said about the Mumbai track. Aarti was always being pushy.in fact she was being pushy even before Mumbai, but since that was for the kids.still ok. however what bothered me a lot back then, and what i remembered after reading ur take was her running commentary with Yash and Arpita's family album. I thought that was the height of insensitivity! whats scary was she never realized that she was being insensitive, and actually was angry when Yash told her that she had no right to talk about him and arpita! She never understood that it was she who had pushed Yash into saying it!

@Sam : of all the possibilities listed by you regarding the truths, would the cvs not start with the easiest and simplest to deal with first and get it out and start building upwards to the major one!! In my humble opinion it would be the friend uncle who helped them in lalithpur!!!

@Sammy, agree about Mittals way of opening up the story. They did it during Mumbai too. It is like peeling an onion layer by layer. I think Yash/Scindias will get to know at least a part of the truth by this Friday.

But whaaat is this I read? You were pissed off at Aarti for pulling Yash's leg? Yaaar, itna sensitive kyun hai with regards to Yash! I thought it was such a cute normal husband - wife thingy. My Mom and Dad do it to each other, I do it to my husband and the other way round, I have seen tons of my friends pulling each others leg for their weaknesses. I saw it as the extent of comfort in their relationship rather than an insensitive action to put the other person down.

@All, I absolutely loved that bit where Yash asks Aarti to come with him for 2 mins and he gets super irritated with her when she stalled. GC was superb with his voice modulation. And I thought to myself whaaat our superman thinks he can do 'it' in 2 mins? 😈😆

Our Yash Superman ki Jay ho! 😆

I get you about what you are saying about Arti! Basically it boils down to just one question for me. Is Arti a bully?

But also my dad was laughing at the antics Arti was pulling infront of family. Now If that happened to me I'd go away to my room and sulk!😆 I forgot what bullying is all about but now I remember!😕

@samana: loved your take on the cracker part of the episode with arti pushing it too far. Very insightful. It reminded me of also how in the beginning she told the scindiyas the way they brought up the girls was not right! She seemed very flippant even then.

@Samana: I think you asked the question and answered it yourself honey!

@Ria, it has been a trait of Aarti's from the beginning not to pick up on these things. It happened between her and Prashant as well in all their interactions. I am not defending Prashant's actions here, in the least, but his character as we are seeing it now is not exactly a changed one, it is Aarti and Shobha who have changed in relation. He always tried to be as nice as possible at first, and the worst things he said only came out when he felt like nobody was listening to him. When he was leaving her, he started out by explaining rationally why... saying that he didn't think they were right for each other and that he freed her from the relationship. It was only when she kept begging him that he said she was selfish, almost as though to say something shocking enough to get her off of him. Similar thing happened at the temple before the wedding. Finally in that last confrontation, Prashant was again trying to be nice, but Shobha's refusal to listen to anything he had to say made him lash out in any way he could, unfortunately against Aarti instead of Shobha because he felt that she was the one who had turned Shobha over to her. Prashant was always hugely selfish, yes, but he never intended to hurt Aarti and wanted her to move on and be happy. But often her persistence made him say things in a way that he wouldn't necessarily have wanted to if he wasn't blinded by frustration.

I know this is going to be one of my "radical" posts that gets me andas and tamatars, but I think it is the truth. It is a character trait of Aarti's not to be very sensitive once she latches on to an idea and makes up her mind to see it through.
