An overall balanced episode today. Almost all the plots and relationships portrayed today seemed somewhat logical, which is a rare sight these days. However, the die-hard IshRa fan in me only wanted more and more of IshRa on the screen, especially during this phase 😳 😳 That is why I chose the two least important nuances from today to claim the title of this post 😆
Toshi's insecurity about Sarika's higher education: Spot-on! Even well-educated men feel threatened by their better read and well earning wives, and here we're talking about Romi. Romi has just started to earn on his own, that too after he felt scared about losing his child & Sarika. He has not only been jobless for a long time, but always been irresponsible. He has also been insecure in the past because of Mihir, Bala, and also Ishita. For a man who, until recently, was as fickle as he was, who even faced problems in securing a job because of his unfinished academic degree, for his wife to go ahead and pursue post-graduation, is going to pinch him some time or the other. It is a completely realistic and acceptable angle to their story. However, the reasons that Toshi voiced out today in her self-talk, have gotten me thinking again. She is thinking not for Romi, but against Sarika. Her reason while comparing Ishita-Sarika in her mind that Sarika is the kind of girl who will dominate over Romi, is not settling down too well for him. I think it goes back to her initial dislike of the girl. She has never really trusted Sarika, and always blamed her in some way or the other. She has gotten around to her because of Romi's love and Rohit, but I feel her old disdain is coming back because deep down she might still believe that Sarika is not worthy of being her DIL. If that is the case, I'm unhappy because this is again regressive, but happy that this is some sort of consistency - regressive Toshi, mistrusting Sarika, and unresolved issues between MIL & DIL. In such a scenario, I'd love to see a heart to heart between these two, in fact, these three (including Romi), where in Toshi gets to know that even Sarika cares about her husband & family, much as Ishita does. And honestly, the way Sarika was looking at Romi the other day after he happily consented to her education, was full of adoration, like she felt blessed on having someone to not only take care of her, but also support her 😳 I feel this is a girl so hurt and betrayed, she needs to be pampered, and understood, and she'll give back an ocean of love in return 😳
Have a lot more to add, but opening up the thread for further discussion 😳 Will keep editing 😳

Adi's Insecurity: Another well-meaning track, one that I was personally hoping to witness 😃 See CVs CAN give us decent, realistic, sensible issues to deal with, only if they want to 😔 😆 Anyway, coming back to today's episode, I said it on the LU thread, and will say it again, my heart goes out to Adi 😭 Here is this little boy who was taken away from his real father when he was just a child of 4 and made to hate him, trusted another man as his father figure only to find his trust broken later, loved his mother to death (even showed psycho tendencies just to see a smile on her face) only to feel used & betrayed by her, has had a broken childhood, his feelings tossed around here and there, between parents and family. Finally he gets some stability in his life, he gets his parents, li'l sister, cousins, grandparents, uncles & aunts - One huge family that he never had. It is but natural for him to feel insecure. All his hopes have been tampered with in the past with a number of mishaps, that any new development in his seemingly stable life, however happy, scares him now. He wonders if the love and care that he has just started getting will vanish the next second. I know Gautam isn't as good an actor as Ruhanika is, but for me to feel his confusion and distrust, he portrayed those emotions well 👏 👏 He already knows that for Ishita, Ruhi will always come first. With this new baby, her OWN baby, her attention will get diverted, and since Ruhi has a special place with her, he'll be the one to suffer. All those kids' bullying also seemed natural, because they said what kids say - about pocket money, and baby potties. They were brats, no doubt, but unlike Ruhi, behaved their age 😆
IshRa: How much more adorable can these two get! Her cribbing about lack of appointments and his teasing her on being the fake dentist 😆 The way she told him she feels hungry all the time - So cute! 😳 😳 And when she politely threatened him - "Aane do baby ko ek baar" and he replied with "Banda haazir hai" 😳 😳 It was the only solo scene they had today, and I named the post after this moment 😆 😆 Also, Puttar was wearing a new sea-greenish / mint color today. Must say only he can carry off such unusual colors and walk away looking uber smart 😎 😃 Biwi needs to up her saree quotient now 😆
Other little moments from today:
- Bala-Romi: This student-teacher duo has come a LONG way. Today both stepped out as equals, handsome married men walking their little babies around the block 😳 I loved the fact that Romi still calls him Bala Sir 😆 😆 And Bala 😆 😆 Mauke pe chauka! 😃
- Ishita-Sarika: The sisters' in law bonding was a cute moment. I liked how Sarika mentioned that Ishita has helped her throughout her life 😳 I like these light sistery scenes, and sorely miss Ishu-Miku scenes from the earliest days Also Ishita-Simmi are a blast on-screen 😃
- Manoj-Shagun: I am now very close to attaining Nirvana when it comes to this lady 😆 😆 Finally beginning to ignore the process of her turning holier than thou, and taking each scene as it comes. Even then, I'm annoyed! 😆 Puttar has never been able to successfully gift a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Biwi, and here she is, gifting flowers, acknowledging new friends, SO quickly.
- Shagun-Adi: Though I'm glad they tried to show that somewhere, somehow Adi - Shagun bond is somewhat present, because honestly, this kid spent good 11 years of his life worshipping his mother. He had to retain some feelings for her, however minute. So he opened up to her today, and honestly told her whatever was in his mind. I liked how he told her to NOT meddle, because that would make Ishita sad, the same way I liked him talking to Ishita about meeting Shagun yesterday 😳 What I could not digest was Shagun preaching about motherhood, and counting Ishita's good qualities and her love for children. THE IRONY!
- Shagun-Waiter: I could not stop myself from including this 😆
- Hawaldar Bhai: So ACP has been permanently branded as Hawaldar by Puttar 😆 😆 How cute did he look with the baby 😳 And they're celebrating Rakhi, Yayy 😃 High time Simmi & Mihir come back now!
Done for the day! I am so not doing this everyday 😆 😆
