Perfection lies in imperfection - 22 June - Page 3

 psawyer. You always hit the bullseye👏. You are a very keen observer and can put down your thoughts very well. I strongly suspect that Ram has sent this guy. I also don't believe in perfection and there should be some differences so that we understand and accommodate other people's thoughts and perspective

no i do not think nuts and karthik will run, for that matter
somehow i feel that karthik loves nuts but also apprehensive
about marrying her !  I feel he also used priya as an excuse 😕

i feel its more of ram's step mother's kartoot that  RAY A will get married

RAYA have thick skin and skull so they will not realise their love so easily 😆

but yes i am waiting for the success to get unfold
and ekta mai it better be the good one 😆

Oh, I meant the ex lover of Nats. Remember how Niharika didn't want her daughter keeping in tch with Nats ex.I forgot his name. She ignored her Mum and did her own thing. Felt that once Priya and Ram get married ,Nat and her ex would either elope or call off the wedding with Kartik. Agree abt RAYA but their marriage I'm predicting would be out of majboori rather than love.As u said it would  be Ram's stepmum arranging the marriage or a slim chance  could be due to unforeseen circumstances Ram forced to marry Priya .

Perfect Analysis ...

@avivakirk

hmm i do not think nuts will run away 😆 though i agree she is one useless 😡  step mother will not arrange but is forced to arrange 😆
as she is the one who said  ram is going to get married and is almost fixed 😒

Vasu, awesome post! ⭐️ 

My first post in BALH forum... hi guys! I'm hopelessly hooked on this show and look forward to discussing it with you guys as it picks up momentum and *hopefully* stays as realistic, relatable, and likable as it is so far!

@ Vasu (if I may call you that 😳) - I think I'm as hooked on your synopses as I am on the show... your writing is so precise and thought-provoking 👏 Anyone reading it would probably find that it echoes their thoughts exactly because of how you present it. Even found interesting food for thought in a mundane episode like today's, wowzies! I would like to write more when I'm freer this weekend, but for now I want to point out just a couple of things.

- In today's epi, I think you hit the bullseye when you said, w.r.t. Vineet, that "he said all the right things even before Priya could say them". That's what should look suspicious to anyone, luckily at least Priya picked up on it if not the rest of them. The dad, I have no hopes of him being perceptive of anything 🤔😆 But why not Karthik? I mean, what kind of guy objects to "jaake freshen up kar" in an attempt to flatter the girl - dude, she was just going to wash her face after a long day, and you go all Shakespeare on her It seemed awkward, the way sooo much was tumbling out of his mouth at one go. It's a different matter that the speed with which we do the same on IF might even exceed his 😆 Anyway, that was strange, and the way he acted in the one-on-one session, as if he knew everything there was to know about her. How much could possibly be revealed in a profile on a matrimonial site 😕 Even her mom and sister who created the profile don't know everything that about Priya that makes her who she is, then yeh banda kahaan se aaya, Mr. Antaryaami?! So, yeah. Those were some thoughts on today's epi.

- Speaking of her mom, I wanna refer back to your write-up from yesterday's Shipra special... I adored her scenes yesterday, especially the one with Priya in front of the mirror, and I was so relieved that her new shriek-free dialogue delivery carried over to today Even during the loud phone call that disrupted class, she didn't get shrill! Hope it stays that way throughout the show. Anyway, back to yesterday - loved the sweetness at the end, and love the protective yet sensible side of her we saw towards the beginning, with the marriage bureau guy. Someone mentioned her inconsistency as a character, the sort of schizo-ness of the switch between pyaari maa and wicked stepmom type. I just wanted to mention that we might interpret yesterday's Ashwin bit as the answer to that confusion, a way of building dimension into Shipra's character instead of what others guessed - introducing Ashwin as a potential Ekta-esque complication in the upcoming 'RaYa' marriage. Maybe (IMO, hopefully) we were only treated to him because the marriage bureau dude's reference to his and Priya's relationship as town gossip is the cause of Shipra's frustration? If she's been hearing bad talk about Priya even since the breakup and try as she may, is helpless in setting the record straight about her daughter's personality, that is reason enough to have developed in her the eccentricities and desperation we've seen in her over the past couple weeks.

- I must second your annoyance with Niharika's slooowww speech 😆 It sounds really exaggerated and unclear. If, God forbid, this show goes the usual Kekta route and we get treated to showdowns between her and Priya, the poor lady will never be able to keep up to her DIL's super speedy sarcasm we witnessed in the staircase scene with Ram! By the time she finishes saying "Priya", the latter will have delivered a good 10 punchlines already.

- The general convos you sparked off of today's epi's themes - the concept of soulmates, listening to your heart vs. listening to your mind, the appeal of imperfection - great discussion ideas, more on them later. In fact each one probably deserves a thread of its own. For now, I would just say - from a place of very little experience 😆 - that perfect as people may seem for each other, love is always going to be something of a work in progress. You can't know everything about a person, and people don't stay the same. They undergo experiences they've been through before and in reaction, new sides of them are either created or revealed (that's the phase of this show I'm most looking forward to, the one we saw in promos - the one through which two people keep learning their differences and continue to fall in love in spite of/because of them - hopefully Ekta doesn't forget that that's enough to keep us glued, her usual saas bahu elements need not apply!). So no, I'm not too sure about soulmates or perfect matches, I'm more inclined to believe that a relationship can be made to work between anyone and anyone else - but the motivation to work at it will only exist if there's that spark you referred to in the precap. Not of a perfect match, but of a lively one - that in which they both literally spring to life in each other's presence, regardless of the things that make them different from one another. They've had, all in all, maybe 4 scenes together since the show has started, and we already see the magic - can't wait until they're living under the same roof and such scenes and sentiments will become a day to day occurrence!

@lola610...lovely analysis...hmm...me getting addicted to this thread now...

Awesome analyses, guys! I will try and respond a little later after I get into work!
