Badhai Ho...

Finally our dikra and dikri got hitched!
Really feels like our own family members got married for real 😎

Smrth- Hope you are listening in! ..You finally got your wish!!

I remember the old SLB days when all of us desperately wanted this to happen...

A pity that a world changed in the interim and the goal when it finally did get achieved was almost anti-climatic...with many of us having stopped seeing this regularly...

Neways...Cheers for an important milestone and the collective journey we all have made thru CB towards this...

...Will try to check out these few epis if I do manage to shake off my current indifference...




hgg, so good to read your post again.

Do see just the shadi epis and todays epi was different

so would love to read your views.

Knowing Kumud, I suspected she'd make parallels with Saras's near fatal error and his dad being his mom's cause of death. She should definitely not interfere with what he feels about this entire scenario is what I feel too.

I'll elaborate more after I watch the show. Adieu for now! =)

Kumud has a simplistic way of doing things. But today she made an attempt to support him. But she did start the issue by not telling saras and calling LN.
We can discuss till cows come home. But Kumud is a medium through which show writers give us shortcuts.
She gave an example of a gudda/guddi and how her dad always loved her. Comparing her dad's love and LN's love is like chalk and cheese. VC is very explicit in expressing love and she says he isnt.
Did you see today, she accepted that she married Pramad because she was angry with Saras. Remember that episode when they had a convo about that fateful decision. At that time she denied and said she did it for her father. It was true that she did it for her father.
Writers changed it completely. Thats daily soap writers for you.
But she used logic and showed concern today and that was good.
But you have to see Gautam. The way he acted in the scene with Jen. Superlative. I cant use more adjectives.

Love your post, Shanti!

Kumud has been made to do a few things that really riled Saras groupies like me 😉. Top of the list was marrying Pramad (credit to GMT and SLB's joint efforts!), and coming up next was inviting LN to their shaadi (credit to Ved Raj & Co.)

As you've pointed out, yesterday she finally admitted her guilt in the first matter, and used the chance obtained through her second (near-fatal except for Dugba!) mistake to try and make amends. Instead of thinking the new CV's made a mistake, I prefer to think that the married Kumud is now able to admit the truth to herself and to Saras.

And the entire Desai family supporting/shielding Saras by not outing his role in Danny's wedding was so cute. Am sure they're leaving that for Gumaan to ferret out.

There is a difference of heaven and earth between fathers who genuinely can't explicitly profess their love for kids(that's a stupid Asian/Indian fathers stereotype that's getting 'universal acclaim' these days) and fathers who cheat, slight, neglect a child, dump a woman at the altar, are sole reason behind death of their spouse...

How easily she comes up with a stereotype as a statistic to state her point? I'm not blaming Kumud, what does she know about these things anyway.

Exactly, DocWho. Well said.

This was another blow against Kumud sundari. She knows only one kind of childhood and family, the love-filled one that she grew up amidst, and she tries to impose that rubric on Saras' lonely, miserable existence in Dubai! Dont blame Saras for feeling that "akelaapan" again. The writers love to chip away at Kumud's character and ensure all our sympathies lie with Saraswatichandra...😕

You put it so well. What does she know. She knows love of a protective family. Even in pramad's house she had that support from her family. She doesn't know what it is to live in fringes. She was the apple of the family's eyes and darling.

Comparing VC n LN and for that matter stereotyping dad's love was too simplistic.

Btw, did she know ln is repenting. A phone call or two in recent past sealed it? He didn't try to reach out to his sons n not son this time. Did he care if saras was alive? Or what danny was doing. Or reach out to VC. He destroyed VC's family. He comes and wants to hug saras. That's all.

You put it so nicely.

Regarding family shielding saras, I feel it should have been the other way around. Danny should have said after getting blessings that saras was instrumental in this. Kya kar lega LN. He will walk back to dubai? That would have been a test for his repentance.

And he set the precedent by marrying guman without telling anyone. That too after not turning up for dugba.

I know LN as a husband and a father has failed miserably.
But I still can understand where Kumud comes from


Of course the cvs did mess up with Kumud's dads don't express thing

Because in her case, it's VC who is more demonstrative than Guniyal

Guniyal infact is happy to relegate her role to Dukhba,

who is more of a mother to Kumud than Guniyal


But somehow, I can't blame LN for Saraswatis suicide -

For that I am sorry but Saraswati herself has to be blamed for the

Trauma she put Saras through - to go like that while her child was watching

Shows her up to be extremely depressed, or wallowing in self pity to an extent

That even the presence of a child who needed her was not enough


I feel that Saras should've been the anchor of her life,

But she ...


LN was ambitious, wanted to fly high, Saraswati was rooted,

Maybe had no existence beyond ratnanagri and rituals

They probably did not have any emotional connect

Making him an easy prey for Guman



Let's be fair to Guman, she has been the kind of wife to him that he wanted

A social butterfly, someone who feeds his ego and panders to his tastes

The only victim in all this has been Saras !


As for dumping Dukhba at the altar, yes that was wrong

But somewhere I feel all these are connected and he was completely

under Guman's spell at that point in time, so couldn't go through the marriage

Anyway what's to say that he and Dukhba would have been happy together?

Marriage is a complex relationship, and rather than hold on to what wasn't

It's better to deal with what was


He wasn't a monster, more a weak selfish man who can't see beyond his needs

So a man to be despised, but not detested, surely


Now let's come to the real fact - he is Saras's father, their lives are entwined together

He is flesh and blood, and family ties are un breakable

The more you hold on to anger and grudges, and keep old wounds alive

The more the loneliness within keeps growing

Again I will iterate, while LN is not VC, he is no pramaad either

He seems to be more like budhidhidhan , who fell for a Guman and life became tragic thereafter


So Kumud's why - I understand

Her how - just call him at the mandap without consulting Saras - extremely stupid
