ALL IN THE LANGUGAEThank you so much for these wonderful description and analysis of the episodes... (Indie, barun dewani, arshihamehsa, sohara...sorry if i missed anyone) I just wanted to mention one THEME that started from Episode 85 ( saying sorry)...Episode 85 stresses on how difficult it is for Arnav to express his feelings to loved ones... Whether its his childhood trauma, no male role model to teach him...or just Subcontinental language or all of the above..But it rings true. And Barun made it sound even more TRUE...In this age of Valentines Day, Friednship day etc... Wo doesn't know how to say I Love you, Happy Birthday or Sorry... Hallmark became a cable channel from the profits of those cardsπ ... BUT our ASR doesn't know how to say Happy Birthday, Sorry and I love You... Episode 85 is the beginning of understanding the man behind suave business language but lacking in personal communicative language... So glad CVs took time to show this deficiency and YOU all...the wonderful writers explained everything so eloquently (thank you again)...(Personal note: loving ASR made me appreciate my husband more ..who has never said "I love you" during our 16 yr marriage and 22 yrs together but everyday made me feel the love through doing laundry, cooking, cleaning and taking care of our child)Also words for manners ( please, thank you , sorry) were more western (thinking abt languages in British etiquette) in root & practice..The Bengali translations are sooo dramatic (Doya Korben, Onek Dhonnobaad, Maaf Korben) and mouthful... They are truly expressed in Tone, Volume and Nuances of Inflection (is it same in Hindi?)... On the other hand ... Words for EMOTIONS are plentiful in Bengali and sometimes there is no direct translation in English... From top of my head ABHIMAN is one such word... KHushi harbored more ABHIMAN than anger ( knowing ASR wants to say sorry but can't)... Just my POV though...Again love you all for writing such wonderful material to dig inπ€
