Someone is fast picking up his wife's hobbies- Banigiri, jasoosi. Now as far as jasoosi is concerned, can't blame JW much for it. After all, TS is not only his lawyer, but his best friend, his wife's latest best friend but also his future cousin bhanja-in-law. JW has a right to probe into his mental condition although we can debate about the methods adopted (flicking confidential tapes). JW was also endearing when he tried to repeatedly call up Bani after having a bad dream (there obviously is a telepathy between the two).
But what was less endearing was his version of Banigiri- concealing things for no rhyme or reason. And the victim on this occasion was his beloved sister Karuna, who if may I remind my readers, was the only person who stood by him in his worst hour. She was on line with him and surely, JW had a duty to inform her asap about the mental condition of her intended damaad. And get her, not only for her own daughter's sake but also for the sake of the safety of the whole household, particularly his preggie wife Bani, to initiate a close watch on TS. Sorry to say this, but thought JW was a rather negligent hubby, bro, uncle and head of household etc yesterday.

Partial redemption for Pia: I know most of you guys hate Pia, but I think Pia did a fair bit to redeem herself (unless of course the whole bomb thing was an act) by saving her sisters. Personally, I have thought that Pia may be a jealous, selfish, materialistic and thoughtless girl, one redeeming feature of her was her love for her sisters. Pia pushing her sisters away to safety was any day a more convicing Pia than a leering Pia gloating over her cowering sister (during the aftermath of the ONS disclosure).
The amnesia of course rather complicates things for everyone. Pia has forgotten almost everything that has happened since her first engagement to Pooch. But what now? There is a lot of explaining to be done. After all, there is no way Bani can evade the issue of her and Pia's pregnancy ( I am assuming of course that both kids are alive and well). How does Bani explain to Pia:
Who is the father of her kid? And will Pooch for the sake of his friendship with Bani, indefinitely put up with Pia and her kid?
How does Bani explain her own marriage to JW? It will come as a complete shock to Pia.
Rano's two marriages and a kid?
And how does she prevent mischief mongers like Jigs from spilling the beans. And how would JW react to a possible presence of both his wife and molester (and his two set of kids) living amicably together under his own roof?
Tough times ahead for Bani, who again conducted herself irreproachably yesterday. She could not have turned her back on a sister (who whatever her past deeds) who had seriously hurt herself in order to save her life. And she didn't. But she didn't wash over her past sins.
Meanwhile I can see some more storms brewing. Ranveer- Rano appear to be getting closer and Raashi's treatment is also coming along just fine. Maybe my dream of seeing the Mama – bhanja duo exchanging notes on the pains and pleasures of bigamy over a bottle of scotch may just come true (if Pooch plays foul, of course)
Rgds,
Priyanka
PS: Sangs/Meena- two successive Obs posts without any Bani bashing. Happy?
