the storm that came...

They were growing together... The reason was one... They were bending.. They were tackling together.. Every hurdle every fear.. They were falling together... The reason unknown...

The day they thot this life threw a test in front of them rather him...

Then came an unknown storm without a thunder without any pours.. That became the very test of his true love...

But had they not encountered the thunder some tym back?? It was raining then... Life have them a chance of ROMANCE... They danced v drooled.. They were lost in the moment... She had closed her eyes with anticipation.. His eyes were glued on her.. He lifted his hand to caress her face... But did he??? NO.. He stopped n stepped out... He gave away that golden chance that the lord gave him... She got her special moment he got a chance to smile... She got a reason to blush he got a reason to mark a fence around intimacy... They got petty things... But lord had given this for a diffn reason.. They realised they lost in the moment their identity.. They weren't d usual beings they were usually around every timetime but theu again chose to hide behind their veils...

Destiny wanted them to become one... But he didn't approach... He went away n she let him go...

But the lord said-

"Y do u run away?? Today u have ran away from her... Tomorrow you will run after her"

Yes this was it n d storm entered...

He was angry his meeting was cancelled she was happy she met an old acquaintance... He heard her chirping but chose to ignore...

Then again the lord said-

" don't worry I have good plans for u"

A wrong rushed allegation on him he didn't budge juz walked away.. The deal was cancelled...

The day came wen he personally encountered d storm wid his kid... But was that a storm for real??? So calm n so serene... I doubt if it really was...

He was again angry but the storm had its own way to tackle things... He apologised shook hands n went away...

If it was really that catastrophic then y did it not hamper him??? ( keep this thot... I'll bring this back)

Coming back to my real topic- Mani...

Here I choose to take my opinion with respect to ishra... Good or bad?? Dun worry m a lover of neutrality...😉😉

Scene 1-

The school... First parking issue then in d cabin...

Let's observe their reactions...

Raman was angry.. Mani was quiet...

Raman informed wat really happened.. Mani bowed his head n listened... Yes his kid was at fault... He set the issue right.. Raman mellowed down at the response... A person like Raman said sorry shook hands n went away... That was Mani effect...

Scene 2-

Mani arrived late ishu was waiting...( I won't focus on Raman here)

Mani invited her for party... She called up Raman. He refused... Wat did d storm do then??

Mani said- kaha hoga tumhare dost ki party h main kyun aau?? ishu said - itna samajhte ho relationships ko toh akele kyun ho??

To dis he replied- SAMAJHDAR hu isliye...

Now he is a man of clarity... Yes though rushed in opinions but yes the clouds over his thots gets cleared pretty fast..

Scene 3-

Coffee shop scene Raman shagun Mani ishu

If u take a closer look at how they were seated u'll really appreciate the way it went on...

Raman ishu had their backs to each other... Mani cud see both of them straight...BINGO... Here comes d third party importance...

Ishita cudnt c Raman n vice versa... The person who cud see them was Mani...

Ishita told Mani Raman was her hubby... But by d first impression of him Mani in a way badmouthed him... Did he stop for d sake of ishu??? NO... This is true friend.. This is honesty...

Then d million dollar question - do u love him???

Before dat he pushed her "sabko second chances nahi milte.. U both r lucky..."... Again it hit d bull's eye... This single thing from him made ishu think think n think...

This is Mani a ray of hope...

Scene 4-

Wat better can describe this ishra scene - reflections...

Yes ishu reflected on second chances... She asked her man... He told her " insaan bewakufi do baar nahi kar sakta"

But juz look at d setting.. They r looking in d mirror wen they r talking... Wat does a mirror show??? Images.. Ryt?? But how?? In a reversed manner... Ryt becomes left n vice versa...

They were talking of love... He shunned away dat idea... Now by the image in d mirror his heart was @ the RIGHT... Which means his heart is at the right place... Since mirror images r stark contrast to the real in terms of sides... His talks were a stark contrast to his heart desires...

Wat did ishu said looking in mirror??

"Par yeh to shagun se pyaar karte hain"

This was a sheer contrast of wat was there in her heart...

Now compare wid d above scene... Raman ishita had backs to each other wen Mani questioned her... Mani's questions had made them look in the mirror together for LOVE issues...

Yes this was the first major step...

Scene 5-

Navratri scene... Raman slaps romi...

This marked sheer brilliance for me.. Stupendous thot...

Mani says- "mujhe Raman ka attitude accha laga"..

Y did he say dat here??? Knowing dat he was ishu's husband he cud have done dat... But he didn't...

N dat is his righteousness...

One thing is noteworthy here.. If dis man knows to criticize he appreciates as well...

I choose to ignore accha pati step here...😆

Scene 6-

Asian head scenario in office...

Raman came to know that Mani had recommended him...

He was angry over bracelet issue...

But m glad this is shown in office...

This makes it very clear dat mani has recommended Raman for his skill n not for ishu... So for this 👏

Now as soon as Mani comes to know about mu he calks the jeweller... Wat does this show???

This man doesn't like to linger wid problems... For him its once an end always an end... Juz like his attitude he wants everything perfect... For him wat is perfect??? Remove d creases whenever seen... Don't play along...

So apart from talking he is an action oriented person...

The seriousness starts now...

Scene 7-

Mani comes to know about sarika romi...

He informs ishita without wasting any tym.. He rushes once again cz he senses danger... But isn't it obvious that he will take action???

Y ppl on d forum think dat Mani shud not interfere here??? Y??? This is d only place where he can really poke his nose...

Want to know d reason??? Its simple...

Mani recommended Raman.. Raman has almost got d post... Where is d problem Raman's house... Wat is at stake??? Raman's prestige n Mani's word ( he recommended Raman ryt?) But wats more risky here?? Both... Mani as well as Raman...

If this case comes out... Raman will b ridiculed... Post toh gayi haath se... But looking at this chance will ashok leave it?? No... Wat will he do?? He'll drag ishita here... Raman got it cz of ishu... N the situation will turn so ugly dat Mani won't b able to publicly defend the bhallas... Cz already Raman's feet r in mud cz of romi...

Scene 7- Mani se manisha

Keep in mind the above scene n now reflect over it... Mani knows dis that Raman doesn't like him... Then y Mani is doing everything so stealthily... He doesnt want Raman to think dat this post was given to him cz of ishu... This upfront honest man resorts to name change..

Cz one thing he understood this matter required strategies as the player or the potential player has entered d ground... Raman ishita directly targeted romi sarika only to fail...

So Mani chose a strategy...

Scene 8- Mani sarika Mani romi

Don't beat me but I loved their interactions...

Mani made it very clear main tum pe ehsaan nahi kar raha... Trust tumhari madat karega...

Now this is being truly clever... Wat did Raman n romi do??? They went wid cheques n gave to sarika... But this man bent the pipe so much dat he cud help her...

Cmn to romi...

I loved d way Mani said... "Sit down" so much of command so much of authority... I didn't knew this man cud b angry also..😳

Romi agreed to Mani then y not to Raman??? The reason is simple his STRATEGY worked...

N dat dialogue " main tumhare bhai se jyada makkar businessman hu"

Yes Mani is better Dan Raman in this context... Raman knows this n so d resulting jealousy...

Where does d difference lie?? Raman is very much emotionally driven... Mani is not...

Now some bits of future also-

Mani tried to handle the situation.. Like I said earlier it zeroes down to ishita.. But will ishita b saved ultimately??? Yes she wud b... But not by Mani by Raman PUBLICLY...

Going by today's precap Mani is sure to sensed something... He is going to nudge ishita... Pressure is going to b build up cz of Mani... Ishita will open d lid.. What will pour out of d bottle?? Raman's tears...

Who is going to close that lid???😉 RUHI... The ultimate game changer...

You have ignored all the scenes with which I was not convinced!... 😆😃 but beautiful justification of the Mani scenes so far!!! I have not had a problem with the character of Mani per se... but sample this... Ishita needs cylinder .. Mani... needs carpet cleaned ... Mani ...and a sequence of scenes including Sambar recipe scene... my point is just this in an effort to show Mani-Ishita equation... some scenes have been forced into the narrative... I know the ultimate justification is drama and build up to the ultimate confession.. but just that had come to expect something different from this serial...😊

Now some random ramblings..

You have beautifully justified Mani's presence in this Ji-Ji problem... but I am not convinced what has happened is the last of this problem... Did Sarika really agree to having a kid without getting married to Romi (I completely agree Raman blundered when he gave the check to Sarika)... did Ishita agree to a no-marriage solution when all she could think of so far was how to get them married...? How will Raman react when he knows Mani solved the problem... will it be guilt or something other than that?

I just saw today's episode, though I am waiting for the scene to play out completely tomorrow...but I wonder when Ishita tells Raman I love you how is he going to receive it.. he has heard her say it out in jest... of course on the other hand Raman has said it twice and made light of it.. so when the confession happens it will be very interesting... Its going to be one over-dramatic confession! 😒
