14.8.15: Ishita is brave, but I wish she didn't hide things from Raman

Whattay a quote from whattay story ❤️

Today was MUCH, MUCH more eventful than yesterday😆

Ishita stepped in, saying she will complete the contracts handed over to Raman...and when Khanna objected to the same, she ushered in Neel who had he POA papers..so legally, she WAS entitled to take decisions on behalf of the company. Murthy, the Ministry guy stated it categorically that she was eligible to work on the contracts...

When Suraj realised they were beaten down on grounds of legality and company procedures, he tried playing another card...said - its not enuff to have decision-making power alone, to run a business one needs experience...you're a dentist. How are you going to handle such a huge project? Fair enuff. We as an audience were wondering the same..😕

And without giving the Ministry guy a split second to change his decision, Bhalla ji, Appa and Romi stepped in...and said, Ishita had her whole family to support her in this mission...

They all introduced themselves..Bhalla ji said that before retirement he had experience supervising factories and godowns, Appa said he has earlier worked with the Ministry so knows the requirements of the Ministry...and Romi pitched in his bit, by saying, he knew his Bhai's working style ...so together, they were all confident that they would be able to pull both the contracts thru...

While I was overwhelmed by HOW UNITED the Bhalla family seemed now, especially Bhalla ji and Romi who seemed to no longer be perturbed by the fact that Ishita IS, in fact, the legal heir of this company...I fail to understand...where are the REAL, QUALIFIED TECHNICALLY SOUND BLOKES working for Raman's company?? The three people who stepped in to support Ishita...were her family...yes, they had SOME experience, to speak of...and more of a general awareness about how things run in a company ...but why couldn't we also have OTHER employees...who worked in managerial/supervisory capacity...who had TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW of the same...and am I to understand that if Raman (as the boss) and Mihir as the CEO were indisposed to performing their duties at the company, there were only bottom line factory workers left to run the company or what??

A company comprises employees at MYRIAD levels..there's ALWAYS a step-in, in case the head is unavailable to finish the work...Yes, Ishita has the POA..but wont she need the help of OTHER EMPLOYEES (and not just well-meaning family members) to conduct her work?? Kya logic hai yeh bhai!!

Khair...since its a show and anything is possible😕😕, the contracts were finally handed over to Raman's company...

@underlined - They seem to have their own version of companies, where there is no management after the owner & CEO 😕 😆 Also, YHM & logic don't go hand-in-hand these days 😛

On the family front, I'm glad they're all coming together for Raman. It does show how much they value Raman & the name & credibility he has built, but somehow I am finding it a li'l lacklustre, without the emotional connect that a family reunion ought to entail.

I am glad that Bhalla ji is no more a disposable character in the ensemble cast of YHM...no more a parrot repeating, "TOSHI JI...AAP BAS THAND RAKHO" 20 times a day😆 By Jove! He even threatened Suraj today, full tashan and all, ki "jis din mera yeh dimag ghuum gaya, toh main tujhe aur tere sathiyon ko dekh lunga"...when he said that, I was only reminded of "Aata Majhi Satakli"🤣

I actually liked that scene a lot 😃 Shows where Raman gets his anger issues from 😉

Also, before I forget...the last I remember, Appa was working for Malhotra right? And suddenly he is back to being a "retired govt servant" with all the free time in the world??😆 Yeh CVs bhi naa! Phir zarurat padegi toh Appa ko berozgaar bana denge dobara...and iss baar sasur ko wapas daamad ki company mein job lagwa denge...ufff...kuch bhi!

It was good to see Ashok...poor Sangram...picchle teen episodes se bechara ghatiya sa makeup lagaye jail mein pada rehta hai...but I like it better that way...😆 Kitne bekaar se villains hain Ashok, Suraj aur Param...its so predictable what they plan next..now that the chips are down, Ashok asked Suraj to inform Rinki of the "latest developments" in Bhalla family...

Today Param made me laugh with one of his lines - Ishita ji munh lagti, toh accha bhi lagta...😆 this was in response to what Ishita and Romi said - Papaji, in kutton ke munh lagne ka koi fayda nai...But somehow I feel Parmeetey has lost some of his spark...his C-giri 😆 he needs to get it back!

@underlined - Agreed! As I said a few days ago on his re-entry, he seems to have lost his spark recently. I think he needs to be promoted to being the main villain over Ashok & Suraj. I like Sangram, but I like Anurag better as a creep 😛 😆 He needs to get the sparkle back in his eyes 😃

I dont know WHY the CVs want to make KP play a comedian when he's being treated at the hospital and such serious things are happening OUTSIDE of it...but today, again Raman created a scene when the nurse tried to pry off the blanket...she wanted to give him a sponge bath...yes, I was sighing...but I couldn't help laughing at a couple of lines Raman said -

Maa dekho naa...yeh nurse meri izzat loot rahi hai... 😆

and second, ek naari tumhare pati be bhaari ho rahi hai 😆 he said this to Ishita...this one was genuinely funny...and though I am not in favour of Raman being a comic relief during this track, it made me laugh...DESPITE IT...socho socho😉

Dialogues in the entire scene:

"Bachpan mein kabhi maa ne nahi nehlaya" 😆 😆

"Ye toh nahaate hue paida hua tha" 😆 😆

"Suhaag rent pe diya hua hai" 😆 😆

"Bahar jaayenge ya izzat lut te hue dekhne ka shauk hai" 😆 😆

Don't get me wrong, I love comic Raman and I loved this scene, but I was extremely sad that this is the ONLY scene he had in the entire episode, which did not have an iota of impact on the storyline 😕

The TWO HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EPI -

1) Rinky got slapped...YAYYAYAYA!!Such mean people we are! Kisike thappad khane se humein kitna aanand mil raha hai...😆😆😆I wonder - to WHAT levels has she fallen to? She didnt come to the hospital to enquire about her Bhai's health, no...she came to taunt Ishita..

"Aap toh bahut badi badi baatein kar rahi thi ki aapko business mein koi interest nai hai...phir khud ko company ki owner kaise bata diya?" and then she said a whole lot of garbage...she got whacked across the face when she called Ishita "dhokhebaaz"

How dare she!😡 She is the one who betrayed her Bhai weeks ago...trying to manipulate Mihir to join Ahok's company! And anyway, I dont understand her prob - did she think hr Bhai will just hand over a portion of his hard-earned money? Assets? When he had a wife and kids to think of? This is basic common sense...but khair...this comes out of sense of entitlement, which I hope, will no longer remain in her...

After long, Toshi got redeemed in my eyes. She stated categorically - Haan, Ishita HAI iss KOMPANY ki owner 😆... kyunki ussne yeh hak kamaya hai...kahan thi tu jab tera bhai chuur chuur hoke pada tha...isne aaj bhi hum sabka bojh uthaya hua hai...tera Bhai jo kuch bhi aaj hai, woh iski wajah se hai...aur badle mein issne humse kya maanga...kuch bhi nahi...aur aaj bhi usne khud ko iss KOMPANY ka owner isliye bataya hai kyunki use Raman ko diya hua contract poora karna hai..

That was good. Whatever she said to Rinky. But I wished she didnt have to JUSTIFY WHY Ishita called herself the owner of the company. Dude! She IS the owner, the heir. That's it. No if's no but's...That she chose to step in NOW is circumstantial...but woh chahe toh isske baad BHI woh company ke decisions mein involve ho sakti hai...Rinky doesnt deserve so much importance ki usko yeh sab samjhaya jaye😡

I loved it when Toshi berated her - tujhe bahar wale zyada acche lagte hain naa, tohjaa udha, marr..😆 It was LONG DUE...Ab mere dil jo acche se thand padegi jab Bhalla ji use ek aur chaanta marenge😡

I'm wondering - will she really stoop this low that she will actually GO AGAINST HER BRO'S INTERESTS AND BETRAY HIM? BY JOINING HANDS WITH ASHOK? If yes, then she deserves to be slapped, disowned...by both her family AND Mihir...😡

Every single word that Toshi uttered today was from her heart, and it WAS the truth. Has Rinki gone so bonkers that she doesn't even care if her brother has been beaten black & blue and has to be admitted into a hospital? What if something serious had happened to him? Her flat is greater than her grave brother's injuries? 😡 😡 😡 And from the OLV I know, IshRa are going to forgive her JUST LIKE THAT 😡 In my eyes, she'll never be able to redeem herself

2) Amma-Toshi samdhin talk in the hospital lobby...ayyyoyo! After AGES I saw these two cackling like mad😆 Amma told Toshi that she had called Rinky many times to invite her for Kshitija's naming ceremony...but she didnt pick up her call...shud she go and personally meet her? And then invite her? Toshi replied - Uski koi zarurat nai hai...waise bhi aajkal uska dimag kharab sa hai...aur waise bhi shaadi ke baad beti maayka se duur rahe toh hi changa hai..

Upon hearing this, Amma suddenly started sobbing. Toshi got bewildered. Amma said - Ishita's mayka and sasural are at the same place, aur ab toh Raman bhi Ishita ke mayke mein reh raha hai..you meant to taunt Ishu no? Toshi tried to console her...that nai nai, it was only in Rinky's context..Amma seemed unconsolable...she told Toshi - sorry bolo...😆 Toshi paused before apologizing once...Amma said - nai aise nai..pyaar se bolo...Toshi tried to cajole her...thru some baby talk and said sorry..Amma burst out laughing😆

She then confessed that she was only doing natak...😉

ab Toshi ki baari thi...usne Amma pe jhootha gussa kiya...ki mera beta yahan hospital mein pada hai...main kitni pareshan hun...tu mere saath aisa mazaak kar rahi hai...Amma got scared and apologized to her with folded hands...and now, Toshi burst out laughing...

they continued this banter for some more time...

it ws so HEARTWARMING to see Amma-Toshi at their antics...seemed I was peering into two elderly ladies' secret fun moments😆 very, very cute!👏

It was such a cute scene! 😳 😳 I missed Amma, and Amma-Toshi bonding for the last few months. It came back and how 😃 Among all the non-couple couples on this show, Toshi-Amma are the cutest 😳

Overall, the epi today was decent- better than yesterday, actually...there was a 3 min scene involving the doc and Shagun, but I'll instantly slip into a bad mood if I write about it. So no. BHAAD MEIN JAANE DETE HAIN USE😆

Can you believe I actually saw this scene? 😆 There was nothing to like, but surprisingly there was nothing to dislike strongly either. The new guy seems to be able to act, so that's fine. They don't have any chemistry though. Plus they're trying to give it a nok-jhok angle, but since IshRa have nailed it so perfectly, that I don't think I'll be able to look at their scenes without comparison, and there ShaNoj scenes will always fail because obviously DivAn have sensational chemistry + they're so expressive 😳 😳

It seems factory workers hav gone on a strike, since they dont wanna take orders from this inexperienced lady having zilch sense/experience of business...Seems Bhalla ji, Appa and Romi have tried their luck, but in vain

I still dont understand - WHERE ARE THOSE EMPLOYEES - THOSE WHO SUPERVISE THE FACTORY WORKERS BUT STILL TAKE ORDERS FROM THE CEO/BOSS?? Gayab ho gaye kya?? Aisi kaunsi company chalti hai! Bina proper employees ke!😕

PRECAP - Ishu tries talking to the factory workers. The ones who aren't a part of the union...she tries appealing to their better nature, but it doesnt work..

I have NO idea what will happen...all I know is..BAHUT DRAMA HONE WALA HAI..

And I also dont get WHY Raman is not being informed about it..he has a right to knw..he NEEDS to know...yes, he will be asked to rest in the hospital...bt then atleast he will able to turn up some leads where there are none...as of now sitting in the hospital itself...it shudn't be too earth-shattering to tell him no??🤢

I think its primarily so that he can get his due rest and recover well. Otherwise being the workaholic that he is, he'll immediately rush. I'm trying to think of hidden logic that CVs might have placed in between but we haven't been able to comprehend 😆 😆 But I'll say it once again, if he's healthy enough to do all the naatak that he's doing, he can handle the state of his company and contract, and if can even guide Ishita & family on handling things better.

But all said and done, however foolish, impulsive, NAIVE, WHATEVER it is...Ishita is doing ALL it takes AND MORE..to be rightfully accepted and applauded as Raman's better half...she might land in trouble, make mistakes...but the courage to stand by her husband in his toughest times...alone is enough to raise her importance in Raman's life...it kinda made me emotional, because yes, its hard to be strong when times are tough...but I guess that's why a spouse is so diff from the rest of the world...coz they dont leave your side...even if the going gets really UGLY, tiring, dangerous, whatever. And marriage IS the best definition of an unconditionally growing love. Drop by drop. Bit by bit. Pillar upon pillar. Ishita is just setting more bricks to strengthen the base...

Truly, marriages are made in heaven, and for every weak heart out there there is a strong one that will hold and nurture it before it breaks...love it unconditionally and make it come alive. And just like that, when a strong heart fails...the supposed weak heart steps in, imbibed with years of nurturing and conditioning...and carries it safely...and makes it strong again...so ultimately, there's no strong or weak in a marriage. Its just a matter of who steps up and when. Its a perfect fit. And together, it makes a beautiful,beautiful picture

Ishita may be flawed for taking on something she knows absolutely NOTHING about...but then, she's just trying to protect and preserve and fight for that beautiful picture she and Raman have created TOGETHER...because that's what a spouse does. And should do.😊

@underlined - 👏 👏 👏 👏 Well said, Aka! She's rightfully and dutifully stepping in as his perfectly flawed better half. It shows the strength of her character once again, her love for him & the concern for his reputation 😳 😳 This kind of reminds me of the time where she went with him for the bidding, and prevented his loss. But he wasn't in the dark then.

P.S. If we cant have Raman as a proper LEAD in the track now then can we please not have him as a guest appearance/comic relief/filler? Please...it breaks my heart to see him performing those antics in the hospital, unaware about the state of the contract and all! I'm wondering, if he is sane enuff to be a comedian, isnt he sane enuff to question what happened to the contract he has taken up?? Sab weird hai YHM world mein😕
