Overall in II's expectation, all I see is her desperate attempts to fit her new family amongst her maayka...She wants appa to treat R&B the same way as Bala...She wants a family same as vandu has, where all in-laws are together and the relationships are healthy (atleast from outside)..Basically she wants her life to be as close to a typical Iyer family --- or to say her family...

Nisha: I was wondering if we could have II and R&B just go out for a casual date one day. They haven't had a laid-back day out in quite a while; the last one I remember is when they went shopping in Paris towards the end of their honeymoon. I was speaking earlier today to my aunt who lives in Gurgaon and she was telling me about her shopping excursions to Sarojini Nagar and Chandi Chowk last week. I miss Delhi! I went and wasted an hour looking through old pictures after that phone call...so much nostalgia. 😭

I'd love for II-R&B to have a casual date around Delhi, perhaps one evening where II gets off early from work and the dude is also free? I remember visiting Safdarjung tomb one evening during my last trip to India and the place was just so quiet and tranquil since there were only a few people there. It was a nice place to just lounge around on the grass, relax for a bit, and enjoy some butterscotch ice cream (my absolute favorite 😃, but I haven't been able to find it here in the States 😔).


That would be great..and wat happened to the trek they were planning ?

Divashni is a bit busy today so she asked me to post the following pictures on her behalf (I was told that she has been appointed as II's official stylist by the SoSy gang 😆).


What II can wear on the date that I requested above. #StyledByDivashni 😛

Hello everyone, back from work and all ready to see what Nisha doles out for poor souls such as us. So many unresolved issues. I was reading a couple of purana updates and haven't still understood why RB didn't talk to II right after their engagement. Remember how she ran away to Jaipur because the dude didn't bother to call or even invite her...I wonder why he did that...is there something I missed or am being too dense. The only conclusion I can come to is that he perhaps wanted to rile her or that he genuinely did have the time or didn't think much of it...
Also please please Nisha I really want II to do something special for RbB for his birthday. Ever since that absolutely brilliant update in which Ranjan talks about how savvy used to spoil RbB for his birthday I have been imagining a super special 31st for him.. She certainly can't buy things for him considering her financial status but kuchch to special kar hi SAKTI hai...

And all this talk about becoming Sam wanting to be a bua , Akkad baby, procreation general baby talk is so certainly giving me the FEEL.

Nivi I read your comment before the movie started, about "how life is like driving through an unknown area at night, without a GPS, we can only "see and do" whatever happens to be in our line of vision"
We dont know if there are rose farms, or dry desert with tumbleweed, we dont know when we will run out of gas, yes we can "estimate"
We dont know what happens when we make a right or left turn"

Its the most startling analogy to life I have read in recent times

You seem to have used it for II

I believe it applies to every human being

We just have no clue when a 200 lbs deer or moose or a bear will cross our paths, or drunk driver driving the wrong way


Fantastic!!!

All we see is whats lit up by the head light.
I think it will take me a while to internalize that comment, I am going to replay it in the context of my own life and wonder what appeared on both sides as I drove in my 20s vs 30s or what could have happened if I turned West instead of East.

I am absolutely impressed
If your dude is an R&B you are DEFINITELY an II
You will have some fabulous discussions


Wow, you went into that a lot more deeply than I had even intended to, although I absolutely agree. While writing the original comment I was merely thinking from II's perspective, but yes what I said is most certainly true in a larger context as you pointed out.

@bold: I'm truly flattered that you think of me so highly. 😳

This comment is so delayed, but I was just reminded by taramira's comment of something that had run through my mind when I first read "Ghevar & Zevar" a few days ago.

The whole conversation between II and Ranjan was so poignant and emotional. When Ranjan spoke about milestone birthdays though (the 21st in particular) and how Savita celebrated them in a special way, I was completely taken aback. The coincidence is huge actually, as my mom celebrated my 21st in almost the exact same way. There was a huge box, with 21 individually wrapped gifts inside, all of which my mom had made herself, from methi mathris (which I love to snack on while I study) to earrings, bracelets, room decorations, and a gorgeous handwritten card. She must have spent at least 3 months planning the entire thing. I took one quick peek at the wrapped boxes and just bawled my eyes out for a good 10 minutes because I felt so overwhelmed by the gesture.

Of course R&B would not at all have that sort of reaction, but I too would love to see (like taramira requested) II plan something extra special for hubby's 31st birthday.

I like the idea of laid back day or a evening out.
It was my fav flavor too. There are quite a few Indian ice cream at Indian stores but no butterscotch😕
