WATER, FIRE AND CROSSFIRE

Mera's meandering mind is on a roll...

The events at the pooja proved to be an eye-opener for Prats. SS has brought water from Sangam for the pooja which Takurain deliberately replaces water with fuel for fire. The episode begins and ends with crossfire talks of water and fire respectively.

Takurain brings kalas to Prats's room and instructs her to bring it back to the pooja the next day. Not one to give up on her last few chances to taunt Prats before he kicks her out of the Niwas, Takurain dishes a few taunts to Prats "this will be your last pooja in this house tomorrow so pray to God well, for your game is over, finito".🤔 Really? It looks like Prats's game is just getting started👍🏼👏, while your's is heading towards the beginning of the end.👎🏼🤪

Every word escaping Takurain's lips sounds like those she will hear echoing in her nir buddhi brain when her duplicity is exposed to the family and its time for her to pay for her actions. Prats gives her the silent treatment while Takurain takes great sadistic pleasure in watching Prats's disturbed look before she turns and leaves. After the facade in front of the other ladies earlier, she's continues to have fun at Prats's expense.😡

Prats is suspicious Takurian is up to some mischief with the kalas. She smells the Ganga Jal in the kalas and is sure Takurain is ready to reveal her next notanki at the pooja.

Takurain intercepts Krishna who is heading to his room after a long day's work at the Dhaba. She's insecure and wants to make sure her son is still firmly in her grasp and not switching alliance. While SDS plays bad cop with Prats she plays good cop with Krishna and wants to ensure he has had a good day. Practicing her matari mamta 😲? But for how long? Sooner or later she is bound to trip herself up and then she'll find out what hell really is like. Neither will SS nor Krishna spare her for going postal on Prats.

Krishna is upset and impatient that the cupboard is locked. Something magical locked in there that alleviates bad moods? Both Krishna and Prats find themselves there first whenever things get stressful. Prats annoys him further taking her sweet time as she continue to polish her nails. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Prats is this really the time to be polishing your nails? Doesn't she hear the urgency and irritation in his voice? The nail polish stains the kalas when he opens the drawer in his rush to find the keys. The evidence has inadvertently been created when the nailpolish spills on the kalas. Krishna chides Prats to stop blaming others for her carelessness. These two need to stop talking in riddles and get straight to the point and sort out their differences.

A brand new day and Takurain is filling the lamp with oil by the fire pit. An appropriate metaphor! She yells at Piasiya😲. SS comments on his mehraroo flying high organizing the pooja today. Does he know his wife like the back of his hands or what?😉😛

SS is anticipating peace and quite after this pooja at his home. Little does he know that is nir buddhi wife has big plans to create her biggest notanki to date at the pooja and go against your wish to maintain the peace! Takurain is going solo this time so SS is in for a shock when it goes acc' to her plan instead of his. SS teases her about dancing and Takurain replies she's ready to stand on one foot and do tapas for her child's happiness. We dare you Takurain! Let's see you stand on one foot in tapasya for a day🤔.

Why aren't Komal and Adarsh present at the pooja? The damadh of the house is about going overseas, he could use some good wishes and good luck as he is about to make a fresh start overseas and maybe Komal has a bun in the oven too😉😆. Any child born into the Sax of Takur family could benefit from prayers.

Takurain you've been laying it a bit too thick with that fake baby tone when talking about the pooja being exclusively for Krishna. Cut it out will ya? As if your recent behavior wasn't enough that tone of voice is also grating on our nerves. BTW, wasn't this pooja supposed to be a godh bharayi for Kesar? Are the guests yet to arrive for a reception later in the day or has Takurain saved her biggest notanki of all for her immediately family?

Little does the Takurain know that Prats was using nail polish the night before that would prove her innocence. Prats makes a point of telling Krishna he has splashed polish on the kalas so she's unexpectely gets her bases covered. Trapped in a hell of her own making SDS is about to go for the ultimate notanki and threaten to set herself ablaze and blame Prats for it. 😡

Will Prats leave because Krishna refuses to believe in her innocence or will he send her away under family's pressure and get her and Takurain to chill out? Is possible e a seed of doubt has been planted in him after the kalas incident, he figures getting Prats out of the way is probably best till he gets to the bottom of things? Will he watch his mother for missteps and start to gleam the truth from what he's been fed by his mother in her game to get rid of Prats.

When Prats is found not guilty, SS may hold his mehraroo accountable for the fallout especially if Krishna is ready to walk out of the Niwas with Prats. Takurain is going to wish she'd never been born when SS decides to give her a prasadi she's never had before after her fiasco is revealed . After all SS loves Krishna and wants his son living under his roof fast..

Would you ever think KN was an evil dude watching him sitting at the pooja today😆? He looks like Mr. Bhola Bhalla🤣. Takurain, is performing the rituals with a beautiful bhajan playing in the background. SDS, the nir buddhi lights lamps on the kalasas and draws attention to the one filled with kerosene.😲 Didn't she smell it earlier? Was she even thinking about the fire hazard when she lit those lamps?

SS rages at Takurain for mismanaging the pooja effort while Prats realizes this is Takurain's latest stunt to pin it on her. SS reminds SDS of his warning about the pooja going well without a glitch. He reminds SDS the pooja must go smoothly without a glitch. Can a woman be any more pathetic in her desperate attempts to win her son's love? If she were to just lay off all the notanaki she wouldn't have to try so hard to win his love. All she knows is notanki.😛

Katra Naresh Babu Sakthi Singh jumps in to instigate more trouble and point fingers at Prats. Count on Katra Naresh the resident drunk to do the smell test after hearing its kerosene. Bayil buddhi is back to his old self telling Kesar to shut up when she tries to asks Kesamma to zip her lips instead of fanning the flames of the trouble brewing at the moment.

Takurain goes all in and takes the diraama to new heights. Did she hand over scripts to the rest of the family in her favor to do their part to help her enact her notanki😛😆? KN points out the kalas with kerosene came from Krishna's room and taunts Krishna if it's part of his plan to off his own mother. Kesamma adds fuel to the moment, wonders who might be out to take out Sumitra "Devi" Takurain. SS thinks that it's an inside job. He doesn't see KN and Kesar as the culprits as they don't have the brains for it😲😆. He suggests it's no terrorist but an educated person who has it in for her sasuma.Takurain names "Pratigya", Of course, no one in the room has been educated past 5^th grade? 😛😆

SDS goes full blast to implicate Prats questioning her motives. Does SDS really need a laundry list of her actions in the last few weeks let alone the past year? But truth is not what she is after. She goes in for the kill and fills Krishna's head with poison against Prats. Kesamma teases by mentioning the events of the day before that Krishna was not privy to. Is Krishna even considering why they are out to divide and conquer and keep him and Prats in the dark about events the other knows nothing about? GD asks Krishna to consider if Prats is capable of doing such a thing. Krishna is not totally sold on the accusations and believes Prats would do no such thing.👏 So the brain still chugging on! Great!👏

Prats finally speaks up after Krishna demands an explanation. So Prats saved it all for when the family meets at the havan to make sure that SS and Krishna were in the same room when she outs Takurain's game. Takurain turns the table on Prats, goes for broke and turns on the waterworks and implores Prats "come on baby light my fire" and make my day😲. She promises Prats not curses but blessings and will always be with Prats. If this is her version of blessings Prats better beware😲.

Prats tells Krishna that Takurain is going all out to tear their marriage apart and poison his mind against her. Now that she's finally said it out loud, the ball is in Krishna's court. Will he send Prats off the maike to diffuse the tensionya with the whole family turning against Prats and realize he's been played for a fool by his mother. The heartbreak over the separation from Prats will feel like a walk in the park compared to the heartbreak of knowing how his own mother went all out to destroy Prats and by extension his marriage. Will he ever care to find out the truth about every little incident that Takurain instigated against Prats and the sick way she went about abusing and torturing Prats.

Tomorrow Takurain will be singing "I'm on fire"😲. Finally she acts out of desperation to cover her tracks in one last ditch effort to be rid of Prats and done' honest thing''. set herself ablaze so she can burn in hell '.just where she belongs.

If you please, do add your comments. Mera's meandering mind is chilling and grilling until Monday. Adios amigos!👍🏼
