I think it's high time someone complain to animal rights activists and make them call upon Tanveer. The way in which she snapped that murga's head with her hands-that was cold, brother
Coming to more serious issues, the standoff between Asad and Zoya. Just posting what I had written in another thread.
It is ironic that Asad who reposes blind faith in a childhood friend whom he hasn't been in touch with for a long time cannot do the same for Zoya. And that is heartrending and painful. Given all that they went through together and their history, I would expect the man to wait a bit before accusing her of such stupidity- of changing chicken's blood for Tanveer's. Seriously?
Zoya is playful, but she is very sensible when it comes to the larger picture. Even Asad should have recognized that by now. I thought that he had gotten past that stage- Zoya has proved many times that she is very pragmatic and makes right decisions. Case in point- Akram, whom Asad had trusted blindly, but turned out to be the worst human being imaginable.
Asad might be the man who went on his knees for Zoya at the airport, but his on the spot listing of what Zoe supposedly messed up in the past- Maryam, the gas cylinder, Ayaan's engagement etc,. was something I couldn't identify with.
So what we see is history repeating itself. Asad might have come a long way since the Akram fiasco- with Mangalpur, his Ammi's shooting and all that. But at heart he still perceives Zoya in the mould that he had created for her earlier. The irresponsible, careless child-woman who doesn't know the importance of relationships. Which is as further from the truth as it can be.
I think Zoya has proved many a time that she is fully understanding of how relationships work, given her yearning for her Ammi and Abbu. For Asad to hit on that weak spot today, again, for the nth time just got my goat. Sorry, but all the progress that they had made through their heart-to heart conversations just went down the drain for me today.
All of us here are frustrated with this endless loop- when is this relationship going to mature to a point where there is a basic understanding and mutual trust between the partners, if not complete agreement on all issues?
Therein lies both the appeal as well as the source of frustration regarding AsYa, I guess. Par aaj mujhe Asad ki behaviour bilkul bhi qubool nahin hai. Asad miyan was just not justified today.
