Take two - a tangled web they weave!

DK – loved that the man was pouring himself a drink (of water? Or was it something stiffer?) while the rest of the khaandan was going berserk around him over Pari. The man is oblivious to the world, Aashna obviously lived a living death with him, and was happy I am sure to go to swarag log than be with a man so emotionless. Kuch kehna hai and you are a man to Arjun took the cake. Really, DK under which rock have you been living under?

Manav – what was that look at Purvi and what was that look at Pari? Yet, calls her poti for Archana's sake or cos the little baby he still thinks is Ovi's?

Savita – she was awesome in her quietness, she shed a few tears, looked properly sad, happy, impressed and proud (last at Soham's part in rescuing Pari).

Damodar – relegated to the background as usual, poor fly on the wall man.

Soham – liked the glare he gave his dad and the comeback at Arjun aimed at Manav.

Sulo – ah, she looked tragic and righteous and vindicated all in one. Yay, for Sulo ajji and aasoon ponchna with the edge of her sari.

Ruchi – she had to be there to nazar takrane ke liye with Sunny. The CVs know we are tiring of this merry go round with Arjun Purvi Onir Ovi and that soon this tale can be stretched no further. So the new triangle is already unraveling, poor Manav his daughters are doomed to luckless love lives, he is better off sitting at the foot of Archu's bed. He will get some sukh staring at his wife's beautiful face.

Onir – looked like the perpetual third wheel, the gooseberry, poor ex-doctor. Really, he dissuaded Purvi to not give the baby away? I recall one sentence from him when Purvi mentioned giving the baby away and then after that naam ke vaste disclaimer, the good henpecked, besotted doc was ready to do the deed, the donation, right away. My sympathies were with him though as he paced behind the bed while Arjun and Purvi were lost in their child. Nice men end up last, I have heard.

Arjun – I have never seen a man cry so, properly registered and etched in my brain forevermore that this dad loves his nanhi pari. What was the look at Purvi while she cradled Pari on his bed? Does he still harbor feelings for his ex-love? Is that why he sobbed so hysterically when his dad suggested bringing back Ovi into the fold? Sigh!

Ovi – ah, yes, the pained one, the wounded female, she trounced off to her room yesterday after making that announcement that the parents will find the child. Today, she could not (no surprises there) brook Purvi kissing her child, poor Ovi. She crushed the glass and as selfishly as always gave not a happy relieved thought that Pari was home safe and sound, how could she, when her apne log have hurt her so, she cannot dwell on the baby's salaamat when she is wallowing in her own pain caused by the dhoka of her husband and his ex-fiancee.

Purvi – well, I didn't see anything wrong in her actions (I may, just may, be biased), she is a mother anxious and distraught that her child went missing (I know, I know she gave away the child but that does not alter the fact that the baby is hers), she was properly relieved when the baby is returned. Kind of late to realize that she was wrong in gifting the baby, but better late than never.

Same holds for Ovi, she has realized too late that she should not have done ziddi to marry Arjun. Never fear, Ovi, you have DK on your side and he will make sure your nazuk and pavitra rishta with Arjun will be maintained by coercion if not out of volition by that husband of yours.

All's well that ends well. We will have multiple sets of pavitra rishta with Pari having dho dho aais, Teju with Jignesh, Ruchi with Sunny, Sachin with his pyaar, Soham with his (probably after both brothers briefly end up loving the same girl), and PR land will soon put fairly tales to shame. Archana will return to reign over her sansaar and we will all beatifically bless Ekta for her infinite wisdom in turning this nightmare around.

Janhvi dearest,

Lovely stuff as usual. Beautifully written, and with that artfully done attempt at seeming objective - What me? Biased in favour of Purvi? Not on your life! Well, if you must, just a tee,,,,,eeny, weeny bit!😉

But you know what, you are, despite your brave statement of a day back about not caring for any of these dysfunctional characters, nowhere near nirvana yet. Which is why you do not like anything in my post of yesterday, Comedy Circus 3, except the title.You are still wrapped up in at least one of the characters, and wrapped out of (now that is neat, no?) another. And this affection, which is an admirable thing in itself, and this disaffection (that is a real word!) colours your writing. Some of the colours are very pretty, though!

Whereas I, my dear, am, like Parvati trying to master the ashatanga yoga in Devon ke dev Mahadev, almost there, at the Valhalla of complete detachment. They all look ridiculous to me, even my sole remaining favourite, Onir, as he plays the cuckold. Yes, it is an ugly term, and not literally true either, but I can think of no other that fits him even half as well.

He can now redeem himself and become interesting only if he goes the way I have outlined in my latest post, and becomes a snarling, dominating, aggressive husband, who teaches his mishti about the responsibilities, as distinct from what she knows by heart, the advantages of marriage.Like bothering a bit about what is happening to your slowly disintegrating spouse while taking a break from cooing to your baby (which, incidentally, is NOT going to take to the delights of the kholi).

As for DK, he is like that only, and I see him as an oasis of non-action amidst the hysterical goings on in PR these days. But his oyster satin dressing gown, with those red facings, was frightful, and someone should warn him that without his moustache, he looks undressed and very far from his usual self.

As for Ovi, I was pleased to see that she is returning to her old form, minus the shrieking fits.Plus these days I prefer anyone who is not a candidate for self-declared sainthood, like your clearly current ladli.

So, dearest Janhvi, I prefer my black humour to your take here, but I do realise, as I wrote on your thread just now to Vasu and Pallavi, that there will not be much a readership for this sort of no holds barred satire,
making fun of sacred icons. Those who still love Arjun and/or Purvi, the obvious candidates for being skeweredm will
detest such irreverence, and that is 95% of the forum.

So my posts on that series will be, quite unlike my old, highly emotional stuff, strictly an acquired taste for a minority, and I am content to have it that way.
