I was right yesterday, Mundit were blamed and sent out... one always faces the consequences for their mistakes. And in Sameer and Naina's case their near and loved ones suffered insults... a consequence neither would've ever wanted. They will carry this guilt for a long time but rest assured they will learn and grow.

<font size="2" color="#0000cc">Life has always been Sameer's teacher... he has learnt everything he knows from his different experiences... bookshave not really taught him much. Yes, he goes to school, studies, but just enough to pass...but for the most part he is a self-taught man... makes mistakes, learns, grows and makes sure he never repeats them again. And being alone in a hostel for the most part, adult guidance has been minimumand maybe restricted to the months he spent with Nanu.</font>

<font size="2" color="#0000cc">"Mere paas bhi maa hai"... got to give it to the dialog writers in this show. They never fail!👏 Finally Sameer found his mother... he hugged her for the first time in his life. I have always enjoyed this mother-son duo... they have a sizzling chemistry that is so believable. Ah, those earliest episode... they both fought so passionately... and now mom and son are going to bond with the same passion. In the beginning we saw how Vishaka was influenced with the Somani way of thinking about Sameer. But in the last two months since Nanu's death she has understood Sameer a lot more... and he has taken a lot of initiative in that. He has literally fought a lone battle to open his mother's eyes, and he has won her over now.👏</font>

<font size="2" color="#0000cc">Both are complex people, with their feelings running very deep and the years of separation has created a yearning in them... they have both suffered the same separation. And today, when Kedi repeated the same cigarette saga Vishaka broke her silence... she went to Sameer and consoled him. And see what happened... Sameer understood his mother trusted him. So now along with Naina, Mundit, even his mother trusts him... he will never waiver from the right path. This is what I had mentioned earlier... she should havedone this after the cigarette, then Sameer would not have gone out too much with those buys. Anywoo... now they will hold on to each other and never let go. And you know the more Vishaka stays and supports Sameer the more the other two kids will also bond with Sameer... I hope we see a rakhi scene. Sameer's first rakhi... it will be asigh for sore eyes.</font>

<font size="2" color="#0000cc">The moment daadi mentioned VCR, Sameer knew. Boy, am I glad his instincts and ability to judge people are coming back now.👏 And I liked Mundit stopped him both times from exposing himself and pleaded him to think rationally. The very fact that Sameer was willing to go through another hell to clear their name was enough for them... and they were correct, they both were leaving anyway... loved how Sameer kept hugging them... even pulling them into that crushing hug when they made him promise. All three acted wonderfully. After the initial reaction, when Pandit stopped him, I actually liked that Sameer took his time and then decided he would confess... that's how guys react, they are more pragmatic, after the initial shock wears off. And in Sameer's case a confession would have meant leaving to house but he had nowhere to go or like Mundit explained live in a condition that was worse than now.</font>

<font size="2" color="#0000cc">Coming to Naina... loved her concern for her teacher. She just could not accept anything Shanti said to convince her... but Shanthi is correct. Naina was being too emotional, she has to learn to be more rational. So she still goes ahead with the farewell... the idea is good, and her execution of it too... actually reminded me of what Sameer did for PTA.😳 Naina, today displayed the same amount of boldness... its so nice to see her going back to the gutys girl she used to be... who fell in love despite knowing her family and circumstances... and found ways to stay with her love.</font>
<font size="2" color="#0000cc">
</font>
<font color="#0000cc" size="2">i would also say Naina has come full circle today... there was a time when she was not brave enough to stand up againsther father and brother when her brother stole the paper and she let Sameer take the fall... and the continuous insults after that. But today that same girl is unwilling to let another take a blame... againa trait she learnt from Sameer... she even said she will not let an innocent be blamed... and today when Rakesh pounced on her, she still stood her ground. Of course there was safety in numbers...Ashi was so natural in her scene with Shanthi...</font>
<font size="2" color="#0000cc">
</font>
<font color="#0000cc" size="2">So wonder what will Naina say... will she reveal or will she cover up by saying she and Swathi were practicing letter writing and experimented with a love letter for fun. But Shanthi found it and thought it was real, so she hid it not wanting any student to suffer ... I am certain Naina will weave a story that will restore Shanthi's respect... but I think she will still resign... I would love her to give a fitting retort to Rakesh before she leaves...</font>

<font color="#0000cc" size="2">Precap: I'm glad Sameer wants to work... just school and HW is not going to keep him out of daadi's way... and he wants to do something constructive to beat his loneliness... I'm excited becauseit will be the first time SAmeer will work to earn money... another practical life exercise for him. Remember Nanu told him money was important... now he will realize the value of it. ... a good lesson for a budding businessman. And maybe he will find a quiet place in thestudio to do his HW in peace as well...he may learn dedication, fortitude and hard work here... all the three are Naina's traits.😃</font>
