Amazing post Doc!.. and while it touched me I cant help but shake my head at where and how this track is going.

This is defo a rehashed Accident track (they even brought appas financial issues.. Oh God!!) but I felt in this track Raman would stand up to Ishita and not be the majboor Baap.

But NO!!!!

so I fail to understand the growth in his character or his understanding esp with the extremely hurtful and insensitive words he hurled at her about being Ishima and to stay away from Adi by folding his hands.(that really irked me and I wanted to throw something at him)

Both have made mistakes and both are flawed in their decision making. Thats what made me love them in the first place( and I am an IshRa fan, as you know, not an Ishita or Raman fan - as I cant see them individually)

But in all those decisions or fights they still protected each others self respect. but the last few episodes I felt he has fundamentally questioned her quality of being a mother(which is what pricks her the most) esp after she was heart broken about always being designated as a step mother despite all the things she does.

I understand he is a confused and paranoid father and all... BUT

where is the person who said that Adi needs to understand her importance in his life

where is the person who said I wont let you shed any tears

and Why is she responsible for everything esp Adi when he heard his mom tell her to stay away from the scheming kid

I wish he had atleast heard her side of the story.

And this line about Lohri mein ghar ke bacche nahin honge to kaise - but excuse me - in the last 6 years were they there? You let your son go without really fighting for him and you ignored your daughter completely while she was craving for your love. So why this sudden love for a festival. Real inconsistent writing.

And Toshiji going on and on about GKC.. *epic facepalm*. In all this Ruhi is ignored.

She and Mr. Bhalla seem to be the only sane people left.

I really really hope they get all characters on track..Uggh... I hate ranting

My Major issue in this track is that shouldnt the viewers feel sorry for Adi- like we felt during his initial 2 day stay at the bhalla house. I know he is being manipulated by his mom but making him into a scheming child is really too much. Made me lose the pity I had for this kid

And he is a 11 year old kid. His mom tells him she and his dad are separated because of Ishita and he believes it!. its a load of Bull...Kids today are much smarter and have great perceiving abilities esp when they come from a broken home. So even the kids character is butchered

I hope they do something proper to fix this. Feel sad that a good scope of highlighting sensitive issues is lost in the trp race.

Oh God!.. never thought would rant like this. Ive really tried to tone it down..

Truly touching post,Doc.For Adi's sake,I hope he finds a partner like Ishita when he grows up.Only then will he sit in a corner,all by himself,and discover his father through this letter.Otherwise he will toss it aside as the ramblings of an emotional old fool.

"No one fights dirtier or more brutally than blood.Only family knows its own weaknesses, the exact placement of the heart...Blood cannot be denied,and perhaps that is why we fight tooth and claw,being only human,for we cannot put asunder what God has joined together." Whitney Otto,How to make an American quilt.

Peter Pan began admonishing the evil witch confidently. " I am wise to your old tricks,so don't hide behind the whispering tree.Tinkerbell's fairy dust is not adulterated, you cannot fool me" The dimunitive ,portly Crown Prince flared his nostrils,and went for the kill."Of what use is Tinkerbell,besides a few party tricks.Can she conjure up another such as me,pray tell?I am your only hope of a future,Papa Peter,and where I go,the Queen Mother-in-waiting does too,mark thee well."

Peter breathed a sigh of relief,and so sealed his fate.Father Time had not run away after all,and once back in BhallaLand,they would all live happily ever after,big and small.

But wait,there was more.The Crown Prince stomped his foot and added fuel to the flame."I will grace your lowly hovel with my glorious presence once again only if Tinkerbell swallows the bitter hemlock of blame."

Peter crumbled against the towering strength of the dashing Prince's personality.Bowing his head in defeat he went back to BhallaLand,whereupon the aged Queen Mother began singing her mournful ditty.

Tinker paced the floor in worry,she was still reeling from events that had taken place in a hurry.She saw Peter and asked after the Prince.Peter's replies were
painfully curt,his words bringing on an avalanche of hurt.Why did you open your mouth to defend yourself,Tinkerbell,now that you can no longer cast your spell?The Crown Prince detests you,which is a news flash to me,and because of this,we cannot celebrate our Winter Festival with glee.

Only on one condition will he step foot in our tiny palace,and the price is too great for me to ask of you,though I have done it once before.You are to bow and scrape before the duo,and now that I love you,I cannot demand this once more.I will leave it on the table as food for thought,after having shed copious tears for my family being reduced to nought.

Elsewhere in impoverished Iyerland,Tinker's father juggles the books,and sells the family jewels.They have a new addition to the family,a handsome giant.It is our good chance to welcome him to the family fold,and though in demeanor he resembles a tadpole,his height will allow us to tie ribbons around him and do the Maypole.

Tinker's mother is sceptical,and says Peter does not like this upstart.To force them to spend time together for a few hours is cruel and unjust,never mind that our little princess faces the same scene day in and out,take care of Peter's needs,she must.

Dude this is freaking brilliant! I am gonna save this and read it to my nieces and nephews as a bed time story when they visit me. 😃 You need to start writing more and possibly publish a small collection of stories, I will be your first customer. 😃

I died luaghing when you described Ashok as tall tadpole 🤣, also the part about puttar shedding curious tears. 😆 BRILLIANT!

Yes Doc has a deep understanding of Puttar's psyche and can express it better than the Cv's are doing onscreen... Hopefully they read this and get inspired by it 😆

@yshu8: Thank you so much for your kind words. 😳 I do not think Adi is mature enough to handle such a conversation, he is too poisoned and blinded by his mother to see anything clearly. Right now honestly I do not know how they will end this track because they have made it to messy that I see no practical solution to this problem apart from Raman distancing himself from Adi. Let's see what happens.

I am so happy you liked reading Raman's POV, putter's character is very close to my heart and I am always nervous that I won't be able to do justice to this beautiful character in my post. Thanks once again. 😃

@G: Really G! you gonna embarrass me like this now? 😳 Express puttar better than the CVs..as Ishu would say, kuch bhi. 😆

😭 Usually ur posts and Gs posts make me more positive about the show and restore my belief that this show is unique. Last couple of episodes or rather the whole new year fiasco of anni celebration had left me depressed. I read this a while ago and wanted to come back with something but I am so saddened by the way the CVs are butchering such wonderful talent and actually giving so much screen space to the 2 expressionless mom- son duo.
On a positive note LOVED ur letter. In my personal life I have had a very rocky relation with my dad. Having said that after reading ur letter I must say some things did put some choices he's made into perspective. All i wanna do is hug RKB and i wish Simmi would do what a sister would in such situations. Stand up be the shield for her bro and bhabhi who she feels so much for.
I know a lot of them feel badly and have extreme viewpoints and taking sides as far Ishra go but there is a lot of grey to real life. In that sense I get it. But at the same time I want RKB to stand up to promises he's made to wifey. I know he can do it. Its just so heartbreaking to see them kill such wonderful emotions by not even giving them enough screen time.🤢
Thank u to u and G for her collages Hope ur belief comes true this is the end to this debacle of a track.
😡
I am almost ready to Give up throw the towel in!!!

Oh no don't be sad, hugs! This shall pass as well and we will get our RKB and JKR back and that too with a bang. You said it yourself, life is usually grey and puttar is stuck in grey, by no means am I justifying his Raman's actions because no one deserves to be treated like Ishita was treated.

Thank you for sharing your personal story with us and I am so happy that you could relate to this letter and I am sorry if it brought up any old memories. I am not a man (obviously lol) so this was very difficult to write as a father-son bond is a very delicate one to begin with and then add on the complexities of divorce etc, it just became a little too much so I decided to just touch on Raman's feelings superficially. I am so happy you enjoyed reading it as it made writing this all the more worth it. 😃

This too shall pass, don't give up! We need everyone to be ready to gush over puttar and the missus in the coming episodes. 😃

So I am going to copy and paste from what I wrote on Gan's post.

Shagun:

"Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you." ~Larry Kersten

Toshiji

Stupidity is a talent for misconception.

~Edgar Allan Poe

Raman:

"The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.~Abigail Van Buren

"In the end you should always do the right thing even if it's hard." ~Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

Ishita:

"When you're silent, your silence condones it. Thus, whatever you believe in goes down the drain." ~Jennifer Tindugan-Adoviso

Hey ladies missed you all! Finally life has calmed down a little bit so I am back discussing the show.

When this track started I was pretty much neutral about it because I knew at the end we would get a positive outcome. This track to me meant we would be dealing with Ishita's insecurities and fears. I also thought it would be different because Raman is in love with Ishita and he would not be blinded by Adi. Boy I was wrong. All my predications came out wrong.

Let me start with the GKC dialogue. Its really disgusting and honestly I am really offended. Not only as a female but also because I have seen my mom go through so much because she only had daughters. This is the 21st century and we are in 2015. We should advance treat each gender equally. Shame on the writers for adding such dialogues like that specially when majority of their audience is female. What is the point of putting dialogues like that to offend its audience. God I cant stand Toshji and her double standards.

Let me stand the Adi ki liye bug everyone in the whole Bhalla house caught. It was so annoying to see Ishita get that bug. It was hard for me to watch her disrespect her marriage just to please a 12 year old boy who is never going to accept her as long his evil brainwashing mother is around. I get Ishita wants to get to make him comfortable and wants to help him but their is a certain line you shouldn't cross. Her giving back the earrings and celebrating some non existent anniversary was taking it too far. It was disrespectful to her marriage. I love Ishita, she will always be one of my favourite female leads but I really wish she would stop being so mahaan. Her intentions are always for the best weather her decisions are right or wrong. I also wish she would not be so mahaan for the very ungrateful Bhallas (exception of Mr. Bhalla and Rinki). It was funny when Ishita was talking to Amma about her sitution, I already knew she was putting up Shagun and adi for the sake of raman because she is right, she has seen Raman cry for his son. That is the beauty of a husband and wife relationship. Understanding one another when the rest of the world wont. That is exactly what Ishita did and that's why she put up with Shagun. I may not agree with some of her decisions but I will respect her intentions. I feel really bad for her. She is being blamed for no reason because I did not see the rest of the Bhallas objections to Shagun staying in the house.

Shagun, all I have to say is I hope her own games ends up biting her. I hope her own son kicks his mother out of the Bhalla house. I have never seen such a delusional person in my whole life. She has such a bad memory. I think she should go see a doctor because it is not normal to forget a chuck of your life.

Raman! Oh how he is this perfect imperfect man. But he has been lately going off the haywire. His blind love is returning as soon as his son started connecting with him. I am so disappointed in his characterization. I understand you got your first born back and I understand he was finally connecting with you but you still need to listen to your wife. There is no point in yelling at her because that is no solution. I honestly want a Ishra separation during this horrible track then I feel like Raman will start taking wise decisions. Why doesn't he reopen adi's custody case. He has the upper hand and will definitely win. This way he has his son and his ex wife doesnt need to stay in the same house has him. Also it will be good for Adi to be far away from Shagun so the poison she has put in him will drain. Being away from Shagun will not only be a healing track for Adi, but for him to properly connect with his family and maybe treat Ishita properly. I love everything you have added in your letter for adi. It is point on and this is what I was hoping to see from RKB on the show. This letter is beautiful written. My favourite part is "My love for you had turned me into a man I despise, a man who failed as father to Ruhi, a man who failed as a husband to Ishita and a man who failed as a son to his parents all because of my blind love for you. I hope when you have kids of your own you will realize that the choices a man makes to keep his family intact are not easy, every choice must be made with a delicate balance, a balance to ensure that the father, son and husband in me all win to see another day, another struggle."

My love hate relationship with Adi continues. I feel bad for him at times but I can not help but hate him. It was really hard to disgust a 12 year old purposely eating the wrong medication just so he can kick his step mother out of the house. I honestly have not feeling towards him. Its quite sad for him to have so much hate at such a young age. Shagun really needs to be far away from.

So in conclusion to this long post, I am really tried of this track and I am hoping we are coming to an end.
