Oh lord, why?

7th episode and I'm already skipping scenes. That's a new record for me š
Khair, keeping aside the zabardasti ka romantic angle between a teacher and student (sorry Parth, you are love but I will not tolerate any scene which you'll have with Vibha, thank you very much), the episode was very well fast paced. Because we aren't given too many shashkas which dwell on at one point and move on quickly to the next, the things move on smoothly while establishing all the characters and situations, some of which are utterly absurd but completely engaging.
Niti and Utkarsh got a taste of what's in store for them. Surprisingly or not, Utkarsh was the one who got the lighter deal while all tortures fell on Niti only. It sucked to see Niti being so ridiculed only because of her height. I love the bond of Utkarsh and Niti, there's so much respect there. For a second I was really scared that Utkarsh might've helped Niti up the berth by picking her up and ended up making her the laughing stock for the entire train but thankfully he didn't. But those rowdy boys...urgh! Passing Niti like she was doll, it boiled my blood. But that sweet guy came to her rescue again. Was he named Charlie? He seems like the lone wolf kind of a guy who doesn't interfere in anyone's fun but when things go outta hand he steps in to control them. Because I'm pretty sure the guys were asking for him when Parth was beating them black and blue. Anyway, I am TOTALLY shipping him with Niti! The guy is cute and I love the way he's there for Niti <3
Speaking of Parth, uff. This guy surely needs some anger management classes! The mere word 'father' sets out the bull in him and rages towards the target disregarding the surrounding and the consequences. Well, teenage kids are like. I think he just felt a little surge of instinctive protection and could relate to Utkarsh being bullied for not having a father. Parth's issues regarding the death of his father have obviously affected him. Maybe he was also bullied as a child for not having a father? Not just in his house but outside of it as well. His step father had kept reminding him of his father at every chance he got, making Parth his punching bag to let out his frustration. Of course that was bound to effect his personality. It has been shown that Parth is an avid gym goer and works hard to maintain his bodybuilder like physique. That's his way of dealing with the people who taunt him for his father. Keep up a rough and tough appearance and give everyone hell via his fists who dare talk about his father. But deep inside, he is just a boy who didn't want to part with his mother...
And get that, Queen Bee is named Krissan in the show (Oh Vikku, you eternal troll š)
Now, Sid.
He's so...enthusiastic. He's like an over energized bunny. Totally not like the spoilt brat I thought he was gonna be, one who disregards any other soul around him. But this guy is surprisingly...fun? Interesting? I know he's very engaging because I loved every single second of him on screen. All the shipping aside, his character is so raw. With the way he walks and talks and has this disregard for what's going to happen in the next two minutes and only seems to be living in the moment. Oh, he's good. A perfect opposite to Parth's silent, broody nature. Special kudos to his language. He's so tereko, mereko..I love it! š
Half of the episode seemed to be dedicated to Sid and Siyali's scenes so I guess it's official that they are a ship? Suha, kameeni khush hoja..teri ship is good and I am on board of it. Time to say officially bye-bye to Parth-Siyali, at least for now. Aaah..I am so shallow. Intense, silent stares hold no water against Sid looking at Siyali with angel eyes and blowing kisses at her.
On a serious note, I love how Siyali's first brush with the real world was shown. She's smart but has no experience of the real world. The way she marched up to that shady uncle and was ready to sit in the car the first chance she got screamed of her still innocent personality. Plus in the car with the lady, she didn't have the kind of manners to zip her lips and be thankful to the lady who gave them lift. Instead she complained loudly about the loud music and the sunlight which hurt her eyes. Normally people wouldn't do that but Siyali doesn't have that filter which society fits in our mouths. These are small things but go miles in establishing her as a character.
Now to the duo. It's a good thing that almost all the main characters are new. That brings in the kind of unpolished performances which make the characters real. Like the two of them weren't shying away from hitting each other or being all over the top exasperated at things. It's no award worthy performance but it's real enough. Sid is that cool guy who has a tendency to fall in loads of trouble because of his impulsive nature. Siyali is the no-nonsense girl who wouldn't like any trouble for herself but that doesn't mean she is not aware of how to got out of them. I liked the way both of them helped each other out, specially Sid. He didn't show no heropanti and took a panga with the shaddy guys but dealt with the whole issue with a kind of street smartness. Give them what they ask for but not what they expect. Surprise them then take advantage of it and get what you want. And then there's Siyali. Who doesn't say much but takes notice of the small things. Quick calculations in the age, making small observations silently and then using it all to bring the other person down. And do it all so coolly. I loved it how she had sighed before launching into an explanation about how illegal the lady's activities were. She has this balance between being smart and naive which is frankly so lovely to watch.
Too many songs used today and apparently tomorrow as well, none of them suited to the situation unlike yesterday. Really, Jeena Jeena? Are you already high CVs? Matlab..sharam karo. Jeena Jeena between a teacher and student supposedly "hawt" scene? Do me a favor and doob maro. Ruining an amazing show with such unwanted angles which you will never be able to justify or sell properly. Che..such a tragedy.
