there have been many posts deriding d present track as childish n immature. generally ppl seem to be too impatient for major things to happen (like heroine track) very quick. i hope such ppl read the post. your post makes complete sense to me and gives me back d enjoyment in d show. i have been enjoying this track after getting over d fake love shock. though it ws too much to believe, i am liking d way madhu's chr is developing. i do agree this kind of one upmanship is silly at times, but when did we behave maturely in our real relationships. most of the problms in marital life occurs becos of egos. so our chrs behaving like this seemed plausible to me. and ur explanation of scenes n chrs made it even more believable of this track.
one thing i doubt whether cvs had this much thought process gone in this track. if so, then we have a very good team. so far they have shocked us, got us angry (extension of mukund track) but never disappointed us. no shd i correct that, ballu dying was a great diasappointment. he died too soon.
but thank u leela for this wonderful write up!!!
