Rabba-Sa bitiyas 🤗
Day 2-sa of maha-grand Rajasthani soap-sa. The accents are starting to get stronger, and my ears are starting to strain more and more. 😲 😲 Note to CV's - at this rate, we're all going to need Rajasthani Braille soon. Or maybe you could get the show dubbed in...you know, Hindi? 😉
Aaj chota sa Take 5 (to make up for the tome I wrote yesterday) from the quaint little village of Birpur. Where beauteous belles and baleful babus abound - not far from the "barbaric" BSD.
1. Tis only a Sapna-Sa!!
Bitiya-sa Paro-sa shoots out of bed, as though bitten on a sensitive part of the anatomy by an especially vicious bedbug-sa. The bedbug in this case be anonymous BSD wala - who regularly invades her dreams. And in this dream - she's seen his eyes as well!!
I have a sawaal. We (the audience) see only his eyes because that's all the camera focused on. Was bitiya-sa dreaming through a camera lens as well - to only see his eyes, and was the rest of the face blanked out like a zombie in her dream? If so - then she needs a therapist. STAT. Coz her dream is even more horrifying than what the audience saw.
2. Hello Hi Bye Bye Mami-ji !
Maafi. This be Mami-sa, not Mamiji. And she's a nicer, gentler version of the breed - actually comforting Bitiya when she gets mesmerized by the fire burning in the stove.
The interaction between the two was sweet and heartfelt - but was I the only one who noticed that bitiya seamlessly slid out of the chore of making tea? 😈
Nice! 😈 😈
3. Thakur Mooch-Sa.
Aaj ka takeaway - Gillette doesn't do a lot of business in Rajasthan. The things you learn from daily soaps!! 😲
Anyway - thakur sa is the benevolent (and occasionally, malevolent) mai-baap for the village. He gets the daughters married, the sons educated, and the wives widowed - as per the need of the hour.
He also watches a lot of "Barney the Purple Dinosaur" on the sly - going by that outfit. 😈
4. Pooja-Sa for Wedding-Sa.
What *is* it with all the Sa's? I thought this wasn't a "saas" show? Is this the Rajasthani equivalent of "ji" - do we get to see a camel-sa at some point, a la Laxmiji?
Anyway. On this particular day - Thakur Sa has arranged for a yearly pooja where one bakri (maafi - ladki) will be chosen and shipped off after an all-expenses paid wedding.
Damn - Thakur-Sa has his own Bachelorette reality show going on, right here in Birpur!! 😛
After sniffing each bowl of milk more carefully than I do when I pull something out from the back of my fridge - naag devta finally selects bitiya-sa Paro-sa's bowl. Which means that she's off to see the Wizard - the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Only in this case - the yellow brick road is paved with BSD sa's - waiting to pounce.
5. Wardrobe -
Bitiya's wardrobe got a lot of TLC - and it shows. Now can we spare some loose change for bitwa's uniform as well - as in, get some ess-tra material? 😕
Baaki kal. or maybe parson-sa.
