Couldn't resist watching...

1) Saras - Danny section was ok...
- Danny had looked up to Saras all his life, so would naturally feel that Saras has kept a very critical section regarding his origins / life from him...
- That's in line with his slightly ditzy / slightly wet behind the ears / younger sibling character...but allowed since he seems to be coming around.
- Good save by Kumud with Saras & Kusum / Kumari with him.

- Expect a scene between the bros tomo.

2) Bhoomi poojan section ...Don't know why people don't like it?
This was the best part of the epi...rollicking...

- Like the scene when you have women fighting with men trying to get the ticket...Yup... That's Nayi Soch...Why should men have all the fun?...and who knows if they are lucky they get to see a Full Monty too...😎

- Then the switcheroo...fab scene that...the women turn around...see our dikra shirtless...and 3 of them just make a run for the Desai part of the entertainment...Then Kumud saying welcome and all three kakis with eyes on Dikra saying Yeah Yeah...Theek hai...Then actually complaining on the noise nearby..saying we can't enjoy in all this noise!! ...Oh the distraction!!! ...😉

- The best scene was when poor old Dad is finally getting a chance to 'enjoy'...when his Little Miss Muppet and Little Lord Faunterloy catch him and say "Daddy Daddy...I wanna be a doctor and cure people... And you are going to 'enjoy'...Boo Hoo"..

...And the look on poor old Dad...who's thinking "Bloody fellows used to spend all their time till now wrestling with pigs and eating all the food..and now suddenly want to be doctors!!"...What about me who wants to imagine too that he's playing Doctor Doctor in the nautanki!!😕...

3) Missed the logic of why people had to attend the bhoomi poojan? Their bet was bhoomi poojan will not happen...so what have people attending got to do with it?

Only way this has been put in is for the Kusum - Saras angle to be played out through Meera - Krishna role-play.

4) GR totally misfit and looking / feeling very conscious as Krishna...pity the poor guy...

5) Kusum as Meera...
This raises fundamental questions...

- Can you control your falling in love with someone?

- Both have been together fighting on the same side for Kumud...who till the fire incident was deliberately and consciously looking over towards Pramad...Kumud was so engrossed that she never saw the pain, torture & effort Saras had made to protect her...

So being a first hand witness to such a noble person's actions and then fighting alongside him... would the sustained exchanges & interactions first manifest in respect, then awe...leading to love...maybe?

- Is this love or devotion?

- What if it does happen despite your conscious desire & rational wish to not happen? Then what do you do?

- So in a sense Kusum realizes that this is forbidden...but Dil To Baccha Hai Ji...

- Therefore when she consciously stamps out this desire and voluntarily takes upon herself the persona of Meera rather than Radha or Rukmini...is she more noble than Kumud?

- Kumud gave her heart to Saras...could not give her heart to Pramad (but had Saras stamping out his desire in that phase) ...and Pramad being what he is...is back with Saras...so she has always had the best of both worlds which aligned to her preference...That's easy weasy ...

- But to love someone, realise its not workable and then stamp it out voluntarily..that's hard.

- So I am beginning to think about this angle...is she really that bad? People might say you can't fall in love with your jijaji ...But wasn't it implied during the BD phase that jijaji is off the table...And the core point being, despite all that knowledge..what if you do fall in love?

- Meerabai loved Krishna...but was a devotee than a lover. ... so as long as Kusum follows those guidelines I am ok...falling in love with the idea of saras and what he stands for...

- Adding my favorite bhajan by Lata from Ram Teri Ganga Maili to better clarifiy what I hope this turns out...

Ek raadhaa ek miraa dono ne shyaam ko chaahaa
Antar kyaa dono ki chaah me bolo
Ik prem divaani ik daras divaani
Ik prem divaani ik daras divaani

Raadhaa ne madhuban me dhundhaa
Miraa ne man me paayaa
Raadhaa jise kho baithi
Vo govind meera haath bhigaya
Ek murali ek paayal ek pagali ek ghayal
Antar kyaa dono ki prit me bolo
Ek surat lubhaani ek murat lubhaani
Ek surat lubhaani ek murat lubhaani
Ik prem divaani ik daras divaani

Miraa ke prabhu giridhar naagar
Raadhaa ke manamohan
Miraa ke prabhu giridhar naagar
Raadhaa ke manamohan
Raadhaa nit sringaar kare
Aur miraa ban gayi jogan
Ek raani ek daasi dono hari prem ki pyaasi
Antar kyaa dono ki pritime bolo
Antar kyaa dono ki pritime bolo
Ek jit na maani ek haar na maani
Ek jit na maani ek haar na maani
Ek raadhaa ek miraa dono ne shyaam ko chaahaa
Antar kyaa dono ki chaah me bolo
Antar kyaa dono ki chaah me bolo
Ik prem divaani ik daras divaani
Ik prem divaani ik daras divaani
Ik prem divaani ik daras divaani.

The funny thing is that Saras and Kumud never called themselves Radha-Krishna. What makes kusum think she can give herself such a high pedestal?


Umm...most won't like this but coming up...

See the pic he has tweeted. Kusum kidnapped, Saras saviour.

If you want to see a kusum with love in her dil and pyaar ke aansoon in her eyes chant govinda gopala to Saras dressed as Krishna, then touch his feet, do see it!

Completely missable episode !

To add more drama--if you look at recent tweet, looks like "kusum will get kidnapped instead of Kumud and Saras will save her-""-god knows what village people will force them to do---disgusting, horrible track. This tweet was a picture of kusum tied with cloth and Saras there to save her possibly.

I think tomorrow she will become the target instead of Kumud

Thx Nandy.

Don't see Hindi shows much...so could not immediately place the SNS show...this is the one where one elder lady character has bindis which look like open wounds or tattoos innit and a dumb miss goody two shoes DIL?

Oh well...

Nandy ...

I can completely understand your wanting to take a Break ... 😊

But i must add that as i was watching last week's epis ... i felt that there had been a Qualitative Jump ... It was as if the coming back of Kumud and Saras to VC's Haveli had brought a breath of fresh air after the stifling atmosphere of BD House ...

The Direction ... the Cinematography ... everything was really good last week... and they were using more or less the original score too ... rather than trying to fiddle with it as they had tried a few times...

Infact some of the sequences last week such as the Kite Scene ... The Factory Burning one ... were really nice ... i made it a point to check out the Director Of Photography ... and Yes ... we have a new Man on board ... Sandeep Yadav ... who was also the DOP for Arshad's first show.

So it seemed that things had started looking up ... but then this week has again been a Complete Letdown... i do not know why this Inconsistency ...

Just hoping that things shall look up again ... and we shall be able to draw you back ... 😊
