Neither have I, given up on Onir, that is. However, I have decided that it is unwise to tempt the jealous gods by repeating that - the ancient Greeks and all our grandmothers were clued up on this! - and provoking them into making a complete cake of him as well.

So I am being extra cautious about it and lamenting that he too has caved in. Then perhaps they will spare him, and he can be salvaged, if not 100% at least 50%!

As for liking him, and enormously at that, surely it is impossible to do otherwise?

Yes Sashaymala, its's impossible not to like the Onir character. I hope that the jealous gods (CVs) will be extra creative and not rehash the formula of the past: Good guy, good girl fall in love, good guy becomes good girl's sacrifical lamb.

Dear Jyothi (and Sakhile too),

Having since seen the episode, I am amending my earlier post.

I do not think Onir agrees to treat Ovi because he remembers that shrieking (spot on, Jyothi) session by his Mishti, He had, by agreeing to come to the City Hospital, already committed himself to treating whichever emergency case it was, and there was no way he would have backed out of that just because it turned out to be Ovi. That would have been professionally improper, and he would never have done it.

What I feel is that when he sees Ovi there, he is thinking: Are yaar, kahan aake phans gaya main! Now I am going to end up doing precisely what I had told Mishti I would not. How funny life is ! Well, now that I am stuck with this female, I must at least make sure I do a good job of it, so let me reassure this worried colleague. So, after having taken her pulse and sounded her abdomen with his stethescope, and plugged her into the pulse monitor, he makes a magisterial pronouncement that he will not let anything happen to the patient.

Let us see if I am even halfway right. I only wonder about the City Hospital. Are they so short of capable doctors that they cling to Onir like a drowning man to a lifeline?

Jyothi sweetheart,

No, no, you do not have to duck; you should keep up the bouncers.

I have not yet seen this latest episode, but over a week back, when I saw that precap of Onir's friend advising him to manao his Mishti, I knew he was done for, and our local Circe had turned yet another good man into a compliant poodle, if not a Homeric swine. I wrote on another thread on January 3 as follows:

While I was tentatively pleased at Onir cutting off Purvi's calls 3 times, I was not confident at all that he would stay the course, and now see the precap today! I am sure he will be packing his bags for Mumbai tomorrow, fortified by his friend's sage advice. And another round to Purvi, grrr...🤢

She seems to have been wrapping him too round her little finger in a matter of 4 months. Some women manage this sort of thing so smoothly it is unbelievable.

So you see, Jyothi, I have always faced facts, and I never kid myself about anything or anyone. Purvi must have patented some sort of extra strong Fevikwik remix; every eligible man who comes within 20 yards of her is added to the daisy chain. She should patent it and make a fortune!

As for me, I am lamenting the fact that the only good and sensible man in this benighted serial (Arjun is good but not sensible) has also gone to pot!!😭 Arjun to Arjun, ab Onir bhi!!

Shyamala,
The good BT Doc just takes pulse and puts her on the oxygen levels monitor and pronounces his verdict :) Shldnt the nurse have hooked up the patient by then? :) I hope the specialist is gonna do more than that !! Even in Cal, he hardly examines Ovi in that barely a clinic, and pronounces her womb as weak :) not even an ultrasound..How they show the medical professoon, really !! This is not about Onir but the way the scenes are written...apparently even at this young age of what 27-30 yrs, he is the only doc in all of India that has the magic hands to treat the brat ! They cldnt come up with a better idea? Wasnt he supposed to leave the country after dassera? Such a conscientious doctor and he decides to stay back in Bbay and treat ovi? What happens to all his poor patients in Cal ? The whole picture of showing him as a doc with noble ideals is falling apart, I feel.
I am not ga-ga over Dr.Onir but do think he is a nice, loving, decent guy with good values in life. But, he is at a losing end here. He is gonna pack his bags in a couple of months for sure... So, please dont get too attached to him...

Anyway, my take in this :)

Hundred thousand apologies Shyamala!!!!😭😳 I don't know what got into me today. Sorry, sorry,sorry!!!

I've also not seen the episode yet. Will go home today and watch. But I agree, that if he made the decision to treat the patient before knowing it was Ovi then yes, it was just being a good doctor. My opinion of him then would seem to be correct at this time.

Jyothi,

As for all the absolutely valid points you have listed, these seem to be par for the course in PR. Onir says it was just a 'slight stress attack', which was not just nicely modest but probably accurate, whereas the other doctor talks as if she was at death's door and Onir had pulled her back by some sort of voodoo magic known only to him. If anyone talks of 'complications' and 'treatment; once more, I shall do something drastic!😉

I don't think he said he was going to leave the country after the Durga Puja, just Kolkatta. Probably to go to one of the villages he was talking about to his friend.But even that seems to have been blown away in the wind.

Today's episode was curiously ambiguous, with Onir asking whether the family should be told (about something) and Purvi nixing it. Initially I thought it was about the baby - for they talk so many times of their marriage, including today, that one cannot question that. Finally, after listening to Purvi talk to herself about Onir still being angry with her and expressing her confidence that he will soon understand her and forgive her, plus that soft little scene with the sun in his face and the pillow, I concluded that he was miffed by what she had done and that was his way of showing it. And that his question had also been about that. Especially when Purvi compares their relationship to that of her sainted aai-baba (in effect, though she says she is not doing it), and Onir refers again to his biwi and his bachcha.

As for not getting too attached to Onir, I suppose you are right,but then again, if one is not attached to any character in the serial, Jyothi, then why watch it? I watch PR now basically for Onir, as our old favourites have had all their charm and appeal and personality leached out of them courtesy the CVs, and I do not care a hoot for the rest. I know that Onir might not last ( but then again, if there is another major leap come summer, he will), but even if he is here only for a while, I will enjoy his scenes while they are there. He is so transparently loving and caring towards his wife that it warms one's heart to see it. And Purvi and he are so very comfortable together. Poor Arjun, he has drawn the shortest stick, and has been left to lump it.
