* little thing: didn't watch monday's show. but read triv's pattshala. so veera broke her engagement by confessing she loves someone else. did she say it was ratpal? is heer the villain of the piece or the hero? don't remember what triv said, so i was confused about this.
* little thing: er.. who else thought that the woman playing ratpal's mom is a perfect match for him? they suit each other in some strange and weird way. no? hmmm....
* little thing: i figured that everyone knows that veera was in love with ratpal as the total easy way in which ratpal and his mom came into the house... right? i mean, it can't be that they're hearing ratpal's veera's lover for the first time! they were all so casual and accepting of his presence!
* little thing: eeks. ratpal comes to veera's side and calls her "stooopid girl", "crazy girl". gee, what a wonderful lover! π
* little thing: man, is the actor playing ratpal a lousy actor or what?? almost as lousy as the one playing veera (who keeps looking like she is dying one second and totally revived to shout at ratpal in the next second!) in fact, the ratpal actor is so bad that he could take lessons from the harman actor who has vastly improved under melissa's training. π (mel, d'you feel like taking on one more case? or is this one impossible to do anything with?)
* big thing: oooooh, but ratpal has created a totally evil situation for heer when he said "she came to me and started abusing our relationship. so to shut her up, i said all that nonsense". poor prem's face at that point went from seriously simmering with anger at ratpal to sudden confusion. you could just see him thinking -- "heer? he's talking about heer coming to meet him? wha...?"
and that he is evil was fully shown when he played "you are in love yourself" card with prem! oooooh, that was really smart and totally nasty of him!
* um, prem thing 1: er... prem's got a hair cut? didn't he start this party with much more hair?? i could only think of two ways to explain this sudden loss of hair. either he's got a little barber that fits in his pocket and comes out to snip a little here and snip a little there. or this party has been really stressful for prem and he has shed all that hair 'cause of it!!!!! π€£ d'you think that laluchacha's in his present ... um .... hair-deprived state 'cause he has had to tolerate all of veera's tensions all this time? π
* prem thing 2: i remember when ratpal first came into the show, there was a discussion on who was taller - prem or ratpal? i hope everyone's happy now - in his bare feet, prem's a little taller than ratpal in his shoes.
ππ (hey! i couldn't hear the dialogue properly - so i had to focus on something else instead! π)
* little thing: each and every one of the brothers stand united in wanting to throw ratpal out for being a rat to their sister. so sweet. but i must admit: i was disappointed when prem shouted "get out!" instead of "you cheat!" π
* big thing: man, but was i glad when heer shouted and focussed everyone on the real problem at hand -- ie, veera dying!!! c'mon people! that was the most absurd thing i've seen on this show so far! seriously! i've just spent the last weekend dealing with a health crisis. the one thing that i know is to get medical attention asap!! and here, everyone was instead acting like cave-men over territorial rights and what love is! π‘
* big thing: i despise balaji telefilms for treating the real world parts of their shows with such contempt. they don't even bother finding out that when you pump the stomach of someone who's swallowed drugs or poison, you do not do it like you are a masseuse in a massage parlour! what the heck! my eyes went red at that! it is a serious, dirty job. that "doctor" looked like she was rolling out rotis! stooooopid creatives and directors and all the people who created that scene. a pox on the lot of you. i hope you all fall ill and have only the local vetinarian hospital to go get treated in. you bunch of .... loser goats! π‘
* little thing: need to take a deep breath. i detest this level of disdain these show have for such important things. creeps. deep breath 1. deep breath 2. testing smile, 1, 2, 3. work to remember prem's jawline that you can actually see now, after his recent hair loss.... imagine prem in laluchacha's state after one more month of this veera-ratpal drama. π okay, i'm back on track. (although, i think prem'd make for a sexy baldie. those eyes! those eyebrows! those cheekbones! that jawline! all prominently up front and in your face! hmmmm... π€£)
* little thing: ratpal's mom calls him her "chaaand"??? in public??! er... ooo-kay. no wonder he's taken so much trouble to keep her happy and hidden out of sight till now! π€£π€£π€£
* big thing: prem - who'd said to heer that he would die first rather than let her marry muckmeet if he discovered "a single flaw, a single piece of dirt" about muckmeet - is now willing to "give ratpal a second chance"???!!! wha...??! i mean, he says it: i know ratpal's a dirtbag. but if he's willing to change, and come to our door to ask for veera's hand, we should consider him as son-in-law material. at the time, all i could think was: man, is he desparate to be rid of veera or what? stoopid! who asked you to act all noble and say you'd get married after veera?
somehow, i didn't understand this of prem. maybe prem was totally taken aback when ratpal pointed to him and said "you're in love, you are about to be married, you should understand what it's like for veera and me". is he feeling guilty about allowing a business enemity from becoming a block for his sister's happiness? even though he knows that ratpal is a scum-business-bag? π
is the prem-brain beginning to fall apart under the stress of this guilt? is this the same stress that is making him shed his hair? π€£
on a more serious note, i was taken aback at the role-reversal between father and son: usually, after a life-and-death moment like this, i've seen parents become very calm and accept all kinds of compromises. while the younger generation get even more angry and resentful. here, they're showing it as exactly the opposite -- laluchacha is holding firm to his instincts about not wanting a despicable non-human ("yey, insaan bhi nahi hain!") as the future companion for his daughter. while prem is all ready to compromise on his own beliefs of never letting one he loves deeply suffer even for a moment in the future, by being forever with someone who might be even a little less than perfect. all because he can't stand to see "dard" in his sister's eyes? prem, isn't that pain just now? what about pain for the rest of her life with a horrible person like ratpal?
very very strange. i do wonder where they're going with this.
* little thing: oooh, beeji finally gets her own dialogue! and that was also interesting. she asks laluchacha to think how guilty he would've felt if prem-heer had not gotten together after that storm. it's telling us that she is feeling tremendous guilt for what she had done to nihaal's theif-mom during the storm. she has been responsible for someone else losing their life. and she is probably feeling the guilt of her act all the time.
at some level, i felt sorry for her. but i've always disliked laluchacha constantly dumping his own responsibility on his sons (like making sure prem will marry into balraj's family. or making sure harman becomes a lawyer to satisfy his own father's wishes, while he himself chose to become a businessman). just like that, i really dislike beeji trying to remove some of her own feelings of guilt, by making sure that laluchacha doesn't repeat (what she thinks is) her mistake.
* big thing: so everyone's forgotten that veera - who had the choice several times - had conveniently not told them about being in love with someone else, let alone ratpal?? wow, that's a neat way to get out of trouble, donchya think??? distraction by attempted suicide. brilliant. especially if you don't die! hmmm. sigh. pity. it would've been such a neat way to get rid of the (imho, boring) veera-angle. double sigh. i'd much rather have ratpal and dirtchachi get together to fight against the juneja's. triple sigh.
oh well, i guess we continue to wait and watch? π
highlight of the episode: hmmm. nothing. unless i missed out on some really cool dialogue. everyone was quite weird today. liked the story development but nothing really stood out as π not like this (for instance):

henceforth, mr. rampal will be referred to as ratpal. 'cause... well, 'cause it fits him better! if you look carefully, doesn't he look quite ... ratty??! π
