Tia's Thread - Finding Loopholes!!!

Before I discuss today's episode, I'd like to share an email that made me very happy and just made my day. I am hiding the name of the sender because I don't have her permission to share her information. But I am copy pasting the email here. 



Dear Interesting Lady from Canada.

Yes very guilty of having stalked you. I am ****, from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.  And i enjoy all your post. Am a bored old lady who shamelessly watches nonsense and spend hours reading nonsense too. And then I shake my head wisely , and tell my very tolerant husband how i worry for all the young girls who sound so very naive that i tremble for them. And as i tell him , i always name a few saving Graces, whose brilliance in response and attitude make me want to jump with glee. Ofcos i cant do that , Have weak knees , the serious kind , not the kind that goes weak for the likes of SRK and now Prabahas, {Yes my hearts still thumps faster when I see them} Talking about Saving Graces ,my dear, you top my list.Tell your husband that I think he is a lucky man.

You have stop writing ? but why ? your post is the only good thing about this show.!! Have not seen the show for the past 6 months , but have diligently read your thread.  I miss them . hence this long note.

Keep well and happy always.
love from An unapologetic intruding Malaysian ,

When I started to write my posts, I was just rambling on my own. I didn’t realize that I had anything worthwhile to say that can make another person happy, inspired, encouraged or just plain entertained.

But as time continued on, I kept receiving letters filled with personal incidents, life stories, thank you notes etc. I started to realise that what you do, what you say, no matter how insignificant it may sound, makes a huge difference. Like little ripples in the water that touches other ripples and create a giant wave, each of us has something to give to the world, something to share with people, somehow make a difference, no matter how trivial it may sound.

I had said before that little things go long way. This is why I share my own personal experiences. Not in hope that someone might mimic my life and follow my way. No, not at all. I don't preach my way is the best way nor want to create a homogeneous path. I love diversity and I think that's what makes human race so incredible.

Every life, every person, every way is unique. I share my life stories in hope, that the people who read my rambling can understand that I am a person just like them, filled with quirks, flaws, annoying habits and all. But every day, I try hard to be the kind of person I can be proud of, that I can one day look back and not regret the decisions I took, that may be I may not know but someone somewhere laughed at my quirks or just got entertained because of me. 

If I could make even one person smile, one person re-evaluate their priorities, one person to get solace in their personal pain - I think I am more successful beyond my imagination and I have paid my dues for having been born in this beautiful world as a human being. 


Anyhoo, moving on to the topic of my choice today. 

I place a lot of value on words. Because I believe that when you give your words, you stake your reputation on it. So if you don't keep them, then your reputation suffers.

I guess you can say that I am one of those old fashioned person who never break her words. My husband is the same. He also keeps his words. But then, I hold him to it.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't sometimes try to find loopholes to get out of them. He doesn't get away from it because I don't let him bullshit out of them. But if he could, he would. 

What I find annoying is when people expect to be believed after they break their words. I don't understand that how that is even a valid expectations? If every words and promises are meant to be broken, then I will listen to what you say and assume you won't do it. That is a more likely outcome than believing otherwise. For example, if someone is always late, would you assume that they will be on time ever? Even you will start to add extra leeway because you know that they won't be showing up on the time they agreed on.

Dev never keeps his promises. Sonakshi just broke one. She broke the promise where she said that she won't leave him even if he leaves him which was a stupid promise if you ask me. Because that's the promise a stalker might make. Even if you don't want me to, I will still cling to you like a clingwrap. 

But Dev broke every one of his promises with one excuse or another. I mean not every promises can have an emergency attached to it. So that makes me wonder, what is the guaranty that even if he says all the right thing today and does all the right stuff, he still will not turn the moment he can? 

And if the trust is missing, what is left to build a life on?

So while some people pat their back on finding loopholes, we need to pause and think. If always outsmarting people and trying to apply loopholes is worth the reputation and trust we are losing? Will those same people believe us when we really need their help or want them to believe in us? 



EPISODE: The episode starts with Dev saying that he said too much, no?

Sona says: Yes. It's okay. That's what always happens. You do something and then say sorry with a puppy face.

Dev: So what? It was a mistake so I am saying sorry, no?

Sona: We are back where we started, no? It seems like my life is running on repeat mode. Thank God that Baba came and he asked us to come back or I don't know who else you would have gone on to convince that we are together.


Me: Haila!!! Bashing hater caught them right. So to clarify yesterday's last 10 minutes confusion, Sona thinks that Dev is going around convincing people that they are together. That's why she is fretting that other people are fretting. 

Ookay, that being said, Sona, my dear. It just now occurred to you that your life is on repeat mode? Have you been in coma until now? Darling, your mistakes and idiocy are also on repeat mode with the same person and in the same situation. So obviously your life will be on repeat since you learned nothing from your past experiences.

Bijoy is not your jailer who reminded you that the parole is up. If you had any sense, you would have stuck to your own schedule.


Sona: Can I say something? I hope you are not convincing the kids, specially Soha that we are together. If it happens, then your murder is guaranteed in my hand. 

Dev: Yes, one murder you have already done.

Sona: What?

Dev: Of your common sense. On top of it, you input your girl logic in everything.


Me: I agree with Bhaiya on this. Behena ka koi common sense nehin hain. Ek taraf Bhaiya ke liye apni family ko taang deti phirti hain aur doosri taraf kehti hain ki aise ideas usko kahan se aata hain? Abey aap se aata hain. Aur kisse aata hain?

(Behena has no common sense. On one side, she keeps shortchanging her family for Bro, and on other hand she wonders where does Bhaiya gets those ideas. It comes from you. Who else?)


Sona: Someone who made the same mistake twice, Dev Dixit, is raising his finger on female common sense. Nice.

Dev: Sonakshi?

Sona: Dev, out...

Dev is about to go, but then stopped: I won't go. This is my home.

Sona: Really? I will show you.

She pushes him out despite Bhaiya's protest and shuts the door.

Me: Nah, I don't get it. You know Behena, you have succeeded where CVs failed. You made me feel sorry for Bhaiya thanks to your hot and cold treatment. 

First, you go out of your way to save Maiya behind Bhaiya's back.

Then when Bhaiya thinks that you must feel something for him, you tell him that you don't and let's never talk about that.

Then you decide to extend your stay to make Maiya happy when everyone knows that she is not your best friend in the whole wide world and you are fine with that decision until your father has to forcefully remind you the arrangement you started.

Bhaiya thinks that you didn't want to go and you only decided on it to please your dad. So he gives you a helping hand by sharing a gossip on how everyone thinks you guys are together so you might as well be.

Then you again remind him of the first commitment he made after you saved Maata but before you tried to butter up Maata. 

See? I am getting confused. So obviously, Bhaiya can't figure out which promises are serious and which ones are bendable as per will. 

As it is keeping his words isn't his forte... So stop confusing everyone and take a road and stick to it. Stop flipping every other way any time it takes your fancy. Some of us got peace of mind to maintain. 


Anyhoo, at Bose house, Ronita questions Saurabh about his attitude.

Saurabh says that if she has come to give him lecture, then don't bother. This is between him and his dad.

Ronita says that if he was just talking to him, then she won't have said anything. But you were not talking, you were shouting. You have no right to talk rudely with him.

Saurabh: You weren't there. You don't know, Baba is how much...

Ronita: Concerned. He is just concerned for his children. May be his ways are different, but you will have to understand the motive behind it is to protect Sona di. If you have any problem with his point of view, then talk to him calmly and at the same time, try to understand his point of view.

Saurabh: Fine. I will try to understand his point of view. But if he behaves like Hitler next time, I will...

Ronita: Shut it. Tumi and Baba ekdom saman (You and Dad are totally identical).

Saurabh smiles: Yes.

Me: This totally reminded me of my husband and my argument. My husband and his Dad have kind of similar equation. His dad adores me like Bijoy adores Ronita but he is always on battleground with my husband. They both respect each other but they both are stubborn and loves to argue for no reason whatsoever, even though they each praise each other behind their back.

One time they argued solid one hour on who buys the best Toilet Paper. Nope, I am not making this shit up. That's my life. 

Dad argued about value vs. size as in the bigger the package, the more value it has and my husband being the engineer argued on multiplying the length and width to find total area and divide by the price to get the price per square inch while his nephew was playing hockey. You can imagine my expression while listening to them argue and trying to concentrate on the game at the same time.

I tried to tell them that it doesn't matter who buys the best toilet paper since they each buy them for their own home. So they each buy the best toilet paper suited to their needs. But my husband turned to me and said: When my dad and I argue, don't try to mediate. 

Then I looked at Mom (my husband's mother) incredulously, she asked me if I'd like to sit elsewhere with her? So we scooted to another corner and let them continue their argument. 

But Ronita has a point. My husband and his dad argue about everything. But never scream at each other. 

There is a difference between talking and shouting.

Unlike Ishwari whom Sona gave no cause for concern to think that she will ever hurt Dev (every time Dev and her hurt Sona, not the other way around), Bijoy had to watch Sona get hurt every time by Ishwari and Dev. So his concern is valid. 

How conveniently Saurabh forgot that when Radha tried to break his marriage by lying to Ronita's family, this same Hitler like Bijoy Bose went to the same house to fight for him. At that time, he didn't think he was Hitler for trying to interfere in his life.

Thank God for women like Ronita. Such an incredible person. Saurabh got way better end of the deal in this case.


At Dixit house, Soha comes from dance class. She hugs her dad.

Dev asks how was her dance class. She says that it was good. She learned a new dance. Dev praises her.

Golu comes there and Suhana asks why Golu didn't come. The teacher was asking about him.

Golu says to tell the teacher that he was dancing at home. 

Soha says that it's because you can't dance.

Golu complaints that she is laughing at me.

Dev tells Suhana that one should do what they want to do.

Suhana asks him how Golu will get points for summer class?

Dev: Soha, you don't know Golu Baba. He will have solution for this too.

Me: Yes, Soha. Don't worry about Golu. Aapke papa hain naa Golu ko nikamma banane ke liye. Aap khud kabil bano. Kyunki iss nikamme cousin ko aapko hi paalna hain. Bechare ki Mummy Daddy ko iski yaad to kabhi aati nehin. 

(Your dad is there naa to make Golu useless. You become successful because in future you will have to take care of useless Golu that your dad created. After all, his parents also don't give a damn about him)


Anyhoo, Sona comes there and asks Soha to pack her bags. Soha asks why.
Sona says that her grandfather came to take them, so they are going.

Soha says that Sona said that they can stay.

Sona says that yes she said it. But her grandfather is missing her. So they have to go.

Bhaiya is making sulking faces.

Soha says that she has promised Dadi that she will stay here with her.

Sona says that Dadi knows it. She has said that Soha will go fast and come fast (preferably without her mother not being too fast).

Golu says that it's already is the middle of the week. 

Sona says should she tell Dadu that she doesn't want to come? 

Soha says no. She is also missing him. But why can't they stay in one house? Then I will have time with everyone.

Bhaiya hugs Suhana in joy: Very good idea, Suhana. What say, Sonakshi?

Sona grits her teeth: That's why it's necessary to murder you.

Bhaiya moves away from his enthusiastic support to save himself from the mom glare women perfect the day they become mothers.

Me: That is what I was saying yesterday. If they all live under one roof, first of all either Bijoy will murder Ishwari or torture her with non-veg until she kills herself. Then Bhaiya will kill Bijoy.

Radha and Vicky will immediately grab Dev's property and scoot for greener pasture. Elena will scoot with them.

Then Suhana will again live with the same combination of family member that she was living with minus Bijoy whom no one cares about. 

So she might as well just pack her bags and stop listening to her dad's bakwas (stupid) ideas.

Soha goes to pack.

Sona also leaves.

Golu comes to the point. He wants Dev to sign on a Medical Leave letter so that he doesn't have to attend dance class.

Dev is super impressed: Golu Baba, your thinking is amazing. You think so smart.

Golu smugly mimics of blessing Dev.

Me: Aaj kal har koi bhaiya ko impress kar raha hain. Pehle Sonakshi apni common sense se aur ab Golu apne tricks se.

(These days everyone is impressing Bhaiya. First Sonakshi with her common sense and now Golu with his tricks)

At Bose house, Bijoy sits down. Asha tries to pacify him.

Bijoy: Enough Asha, I know what my children think about me. That I am controlling their life. But you tell me Asha, do you think I like doing this? I trust my children. No child is perfect, I know that. Shouldn't parent worry about their children? Isn't it a parents's duty to try to protect their children?You know how long it took for Saurabh to make his business successful. Our Sona's marriage broke up. As a single mother, she faced so many problem. Shouldn't I be scared as a father?

Asha: Bijoy, you are right at your place. But our children have grown up.

Bijoy: Asha, when children grow up, do parents lose their right to guide them? Who said that adults don't make mistakes? Didn't we make mistakes? Whatever Saurabh may say, but I won't let Sona go back to Dev. Even if that means she will be a single woman forever. She is my daughter and I have the right to protect her.

Asha cries silently.

Me: Today, my heart again broke for Bijoy. He gave Sona two chances already to prove that she and Dev can live together happily. That's one more than most parents give their children. How can Bijoy let Sona make the same mistake thrice?

Both times his daughter's heart broke because of the same man. How many of us can say that our parents will be fine with us being with a person who broke our heart and kicked us out of their life twice? 

The first choice was Sonakshi's. Bijoy happily accepted that.

The second choice was Sonakshi's which Asha wholeheartedly endorsed. Bijoy wasn't convinced but still let her be happy.

The third choice if Sonakshi wants to take again, of course she will have to choose between her father or her repeated mistakes. 

No father will allow this to happen on his watch. At least no loving father would. 

Asha may not like the idea of a single daughter, but she won't like a daughter going in circles of single, married, divorce in repetition either.  


Next morning Soha is ready. Sonakshi asks her to go and ask her dad if he is coming with them or on his own.

Soha goes to his room and sees her dad lying listlessly.

She asks what happened?

Dev says: Nothing.

Soha touches his forehead: You have fever. I will go call Mamma.

Dev tries to stop her. But Mamaji sees her and stops her. He asks why she is looking for Mamma.

Soha says that she doesn't need her Mamma, her father does. He has fever.

Mamaji checks and sees that Bhaiya has fever. 

While Mamaji is fretting over Bhaiya, Soha brings worry Maiyaa.

She comes with the expression we usually reserve for news of limb amputation.

Sonakshi is also there. 

Soha says that Papa has fever.

Ishwari asks what happened.

Bhaiya says that he doesn't know. He was fine until last night. But this morning he is not being able to move and he got fever.

Sonakshi giving him look as if saying are you frigging kidding me.

Me: And I am giving the same look. So Bhaiya, here's my take on this.

Golu says for you to fake medical reason for him to not attend dance class.

The way your face lit up, I knew there was some black dal going in there. 

And today, voila!!! You got fever.

Methinks thanks to the age old onion trick. 

And obviously Sonakshi thinks the same.


Soha announces that they will go nowhere. They will stay here and take care of her Papa.

Golu says that she was going to go to her Dadu. She can go. They will take care of BigCha.

Soha refuses to go anywhere.

Bhaiya smiles (looks more like Bingo look to me).

Mamaji agrees that Soha can't go. But Golu makes faces. 

Ishwari says that Soha's father is her pet. She won't let him go anywhere.

Sonakshi wants to call a doctor.

Bhaiya says that there is no need. Now Mummy is here. She will fix him up with her home remedies. Doctor will just give antibiotics. 

Sona says that he need not take medicine from the doctor. But the doctor should still check.

Ishwari agrees with her and asks her to call the doctor. 

Ishwari runs to make her Kada which supposedly had killed him the last time. But this time it must work wonders.

Soha asks Sona if they can stay here until Papa gets better?

Bhaiya gives Sonakshi smug look.

Sonakshi is looking at him in disbelief.

Me: Yep. Thank God, Bijoy ki hawa lagte hi dimaag ki ghanti to baji. Bhaiya ki nautanki kam se kam dikhai to de rahee hain. Kaun sa tez bukhar wala patient aise lucid conversation carry on karta hain? Last time to ek ice cream ne knock out kar diya tha.

(Thank God, because of Bijoy's presence your brain is working again. At least you can see through Bhaiya's drama. Which patient with high fever carries on lucid conversation? Last time, he got knocked out by one ice cream.


Soha says that she will talk to her Dadu and tell him that they can't come because her dad is sick. 

Sonakshi says that she is calling the doctor and he will check him.

She calls the doctor. 

Soha looks at Dev and they smile at each other. And Golu pouts.

Me: Nope. Still think this is drama. That smile is too smug and gotcha kind.


In the kitchen, Ishwari is fretting as if Dev is bleeding out and if the Kada doesn't reach him on time, he will die in minutes. 

Sonakshi thinks that Dev has drama to stay back and because of that her new girl crush is fretting.

So she goes to Ishwari and asks if she can help. Ishwari first starts to give the Kada cup. Then asks her to bring ice water.

Sonakshi feels bad for her new girl crush.

Me: No comment on Sona's stupidity. Moving on.


At Dev's room, everyone is standing by his bed.

The doctor examines Dev and says that he got fever due to stress. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be any other reason. He says that it's good that she has kept the ice water there. He just needs rest.

Ishwari is not happy. that the Kada she didn't let Sonakshi bring didn't prove to be the miracle cure. But the doctor praised Sonakshi who brought the ice water. 

Me: I was kind of wondering why Ishwari first asked Sonakshi to bring Kada and then changed her mind and asked her to bring ice water. What difference does it make who brings what? Now the look Ishwari gave Sonakshi when he praised her for arranging ice water made it clear. She wanted to bring the cure that makes Bhaiya healthy. She thought it was Kada. Now turns out it was the ice water. Good God, such pettiness.

Anyhoo, so Bhaiya got fever due to stress. Achcha excuse hain. Aur kuch prove nehin hua, to stress pe blame daal do. Jab Sonakshi se break up hua, tab stress se bukhar nehin hua. Jab Mummy ki chori pata chali thi, tab stress se bukhar nehin aaya. Jab Khatri jail se bhaga, tab stress se bukhar nehin hua.

Lekin jaise hi Bose house jaane ki baat aayi, stress se bukhar aa gaya. 

Bechare stress pe kitna stress. 

Jab onion se bukhar aata hain, tab bhi yeh excuse badi kaam ki hain.

(That's a good excuse. When nothing can be proved, then stress it is. When he broke up with Sonakshi, he didn't get fever from stress. When he found out that his mother is a thief, he didn't get fever from stress. When Khatri ran away from jail, he didn't get fever from stress. 

Now when it's time to go back to Bijoy's house, he got fever from stress.

So much stress on stress.

When you get fever from onion under your arm, stress is a good excuse to use)

Anyhoo, the doctor asks him to not take stress. Ishwari and everyone leave with doctor except Sona and Soha.

Soha goes to get fresh ice water.

Dev tells Sona: Do you want to call another doctor? You thought I was lying. There is no need to make such sad face. Actually you were thinking in the right direction. My plan was to pretend to be sick so that I can stay here with my Mummy. And I also wanted you and Soha stay here too. But I really got sick. That proves that God is real. He listened to me and got me sick for real. 

He smiles.

Sona: That's not funny.

Dev: Yes, I know this is not funny. I want you and Soha to stay here. And we also have to solve Khatri's problem.

Sona: Had I been at my home, I could still solve Khatri's problem. I don't live in a separate planet. 

Dev: It's not a separate planet, but you have aliens there.

Sona gets angry: Dev?

Dev backtracks: Ok. I am joking. I know we can solve the problem being in different places too. I mean you can solve this problem elsewhere. But problem is not just Khatri. The problem is also me. You know that I get angry just hearing Khatri's name, then I react, then we have misunderstanding between us. So you will stay here so that there is no misunderstanding or fight. 

Sona: Why?

Dev: Because only you can take care of me...

Me: Awww... Cho chweet. Bhaiya hooked a baby sitter. Did you tell Mummy Bhaiya that you have appointed a baby sitter to keep an eye on you so that you don't go off the tangent?  

I am sorry. I am not finding this me, me, me song remotely romantic. 

Let's see here, so as per Bhaiya's logic, he wants them to stay in Ishwari mansion so that he can stay with his Mummy and Sonakshi can baby sit him so that he doesn't become someone else's problem.

Because if Sonakshi stays away, then while everything in her life can run normally, he still needs a keeper. 

Never mind the fact that Sonakshi might also want to be with her family. But that's not important because a. she doesn't give a damn about them and b. what anyone else wants doesn't count. Only Bhaiya's wish matters. 

Great.

And by the way, Bhaiya. I still think you are faking. Kya karen? Aap ka reputation hi aisa hain. (What to do, your reputation precedes you)


Sona is about to leave when Bhaiya says: You are here, naa? (Puppy face with added glow. Reminded me of Puss and Boots from Shrek right before he attacks)

She stammers that Soha has gone to get ice cubes. I will go check on her.

Bhaiya watches her going and smiles.


Downstairs, Soha and Golu are fighting over ice water. As in who gets to provide the miracle cure. Soha and Golu both wants to provide that. 

Golu says that her 7 days are over, why is she still here?

Soha says that she will stay where her parents are, stupid.

Sona comes there and asks why are they fighting.

Golu says that he got the ice cubes out of the fridge. Soha says that he got it out because she said so.

They start fighting again.

Sona tells them to take turns.

Now they both want to go first.

Sona gives them another solution that she will be referee so that there is no cheating.

But Golu wonders if Sona will support Soha's cheating (Me: Oh you mean, like Bigcha does for you? No honey, Soha and Sona don't cheat).

Sona sees Ishwari approaching. She appoints Ishwari as the referee.

Soha and Golu runs to her and asks her if she will be their referee.

Ishwari agrees. 

Sona smiles at her with expression: See? I did you another favour. Do you like me now?

Ishwari's expression: Do me another favour and eff off!!! 

Then she hurries away.

Me: I don't know why this girl is hellbent on reducing her respect to dust? I really don't. 


Sona gets a call from Jatin: Thank God, you called Jatin. I was waiting for your call.

Jatin: Thank you for asking me about my well being. After all I just broke into someone's home for you and stole some stuff. And here I am sending you a picture.

Sona: What? What did you get?

Jatin: Thank you so much for asking about my well being. 

Sona: I am sorry. You are okay naa?

Jatin: It's okay. I am fine. And you will be fine too after seeing the pictures.

Sona: I can't put you on speaker phone so can I check the pictures first?

Jatin: It's okay. You check the pictures. I am holding the call.

Sona checks the pictures. One of the pictures have Khatri and Ishwari with a family. There is a studio stamp on the corner.

She asks him to look for these people thinking this might be the family Ishwari used to work for.

Jatin says that it won't be easy.

Sona asks him to look into the studio where this picture was developed.

Jatin praises her that if she wasn't a nutritionist, she would have been a great detective.

She thinks of Dev saying the same to her.

Sona says thanks.

Jatin says that he will look into it.

Me: Tell me one thing. Who takes picture with their maids? No really. Enlighten me. They might take picture of the maid and their workers on their own. But have you ever seen any family standing in a family portrait with their maid and workers? Kuch bhi, haan CVs? Poora logic ki Dev-Ishwari kar di...

(Anything for drama, eh CVs? You did Dev-Ishwari to any logic)


Sonakshi sees Golu sulking. She asks where is he going? 

Golu said: Suhana cheated. When Ishwari went to get food, Suhana didn't let me do my turn. She did it all. When I said it to BigCha. He said that let her do it because she never did it before.

Sonakshi says sorry and she says that she will go scold Suhana.

Golu says that he doesn't want to do it anymore. So no need. Suhana was not there for so long, why is it his fault? This was his chance, no?

Sonakshi tries to say: But Golu....

Golu refuses to listen. He says that Suhana is bad girl and runs away.

Sonakshi comes in and sees Suhana taking care of Dev.

Sona: Soha, why did you take away Golu's chance?

Soha: But Papa said that he had been doing this for very long.

Sona: No Soha, that's wrong. Go tell sorry to Golu.

Soha: But Mamma...

Sona insists. So Soha leaves to say sorry.

Sona closes the door.

Dev: I know why you sent Soha out. Because you want to do it too.

Sona: Very funny. Your jokes have fever just like you. 

She sits down: I wanted to give you an update. Jatin found a picture from Khatri's home which had this family. (She shows him the family).

Dev asks how will that help? 

Sona tells him that the studio which developed the picture is in the outskirt of Delhi. She is going to find out if they know anything.

Dev says: Yes, let's go.

Sona: Where are you going? The doctor told you to rest.

Dev: No, I am fine. 

But he falls down.

Sona says that Jatin and her will handle this. He should rest.

Just then, Ishwari and Radha comes there and follow Dixit family's tradition of eavesdropping.

Dev says that nothing has happened to him. He was acting so that Sona and Soha don't go anywhere from here.

Ishwari is shocked.

Sona says that he is acting now. So just rest.

Here Radha tells Ishwari that did she hear that her Dev is again lying for that girl. He is still after her. He can't see that his mother is going up and down for him. He doesn't care about his mother.

Ishwari hands over the soup to Radha and asks her to feed him.

Me: Okay. Now I believe that Bhaiya is truly sick. If he didn't get better just hearing about his mother's news, then he is not feeling well.

But now I think, Ishwari should go to ENT specialist pronto. Because Sona said that she knows that he is acting now. But Dixits and their selective hearing. They never hear anything except what they want to hear.

That's why Radha and Vicky always work.


Dev says that if he stays back, he will feel sick again.

Sonakshi asks what will he tell to his family?

Dev says that he will tell them that he will feel better if he goes out.

Sonakshi asks what is the need to tell so many lies?

Dev: Sonakshi, I want to solve this. This is about my mother. If I can't do this, I won't be able to forgive myself. So please don't stop me. 

Sonakshi doesn't say anything.


Ishwari in her room is weeping over Bhaiya's statement: Dev lied to me. He knows that when anything happens to him, how I feel. 

Radha: What can you do? This house is like Delhi's (no idea what). Anyone can come and go as they please. There Delhi police let it happen and here you.

Ishwari stammers.

Radha continues to brainwash Ishwari. She says that she has already arranged everything. Vicky has already opened Dev's account in wedding site. She just needs Ishwari to say yes.

Radha says that she will bring such a girl that even Ishwari will be impressed. (Translation: The girl will be lesbian and hence won't ever be interested in her son or procreating any progeny)

Ishwari is not willing. She says that she can't do it. 

Radha says that otherwise that girl will reach Dev's room...

Just then Sonakshi knocks and they both get scared.

Me: Don't worry, Sonakshi won't have heard anything. Anyhoo, here's what I was thinking. Do you remember when Dev had opened Sonakshi's profile in a website without asking her permission? 

Today, Vicky did the same to him. At that time the reason of Sonakshi's anger Bhaiya wasn't getting. I wonder how his reaction will be this time. Will he feel as angry when someone did something going behind his back?



PRECAP: 

Ishwari says: Whatever this family got, it got for you. So I can't even ask anything from you.

Dev (overwhelmed): Maa, what are you saying? You can ask for anything. Just tell me what you want. I can do anything for you. Just tell me.

Ishwari: You and Sonakshi get married.

Me: Excellent. Now let me show you why that is a win win solution.

1. If Sonakshi and Dev get married because again she said so. She will again have upper hand of having brought back the same girl she kicked twice and brought back once. In short, she will still be in control by providing the toy her son thought he lost/

2. If she doesn't, she can then prove to Dev that Sona is never coming back in his life and he should give up on Sonakshi. That way, either Dev will give up on Sona and she will be relieved without having to allow another woman or Dev will give up on Sona and agree for re-marriage and then she can allow a woman he doesn't really want hence, she still gets her son exclusively.

  1. The email you shared is so sweet. Lovely lady.
    Trust, faith are earned. Though I find no reason why Dev never trusts Sona wholeheartedly, Sonakshi has enough reasons. No relationship can survive without these. Only lost, it is very difficult to gain them back as well.
    From what I understand, Dev's trust is all about whether you r his family or not. Blood relations, means trust for him. Sonakshi , not related by blood, never gained it from him.
    For Sona, it was always about actions which earn the trust. Dev never did anything to either understand her views or earn her trust.
    These two are like chalk and cheese.

  2. Thanks for sharing the letter Tia. She seems like an interesting lady and witty too.

    Dev has always had a way with words and Sonakshi fell for it twice already and by the looks of it she is on her way to fall for it a third time. But I really really hope something good and unexpected happens this time.
    And I heard about Maiyya 's bhookhartal! As annoying as it is , I feel this is Bhaiyya's acid test that we have all been waiting for. What I would like to see is Dev refusing to get married to anybody at this point in time and build his relationship back with Sona (I really don't expect an unconventional ending ). What I would really hate to see is, a distraught Soha worried about her daadi's health but at the same time terrified of imagining another woman in her father's life , convincing her parents to get married to each other. Since there is a rumor about the show ending , there is a possibility of a hasty patch up too. Bichara Bijoy will go mental soon.

    1. I agree. This would be Bhaiya's acid test. If he again falls for Maiya's blackmail, then he will always be a puppet for Maiya and no woman wants to marry a puppet.

    2. I hope he takes her at her words: "wow mom! Sachchi ? Great --- I would love to ask her... I miss her so much but she won't have me...but never fear; with your support I will win her back"

      NOW that would be something and MAIYA ki NAIYA can doobo

    That was such a sweet letter. You do touch our lives through your posts and give us a platform to express ourselves. I am still bummed that you don't post in MF but I am glad we all have full freedom to say what we want now, no pressure or faltoo moderation.



    The precap seems like haleswari testing dev if he really wants to get married to Sona or not​. Of course he will deny and she will push for remarriage. This guys really don't know how balance...I am sorry but whatever theory I read about the show flies away whenever I watch this pathetic show

    1. Dev needs to speak up when he has too. His tongue starts wagging and sprouts nonsense only to the bose's. He needs to communicate with his mother. He speaks but seldom communicates with her. Even now when he over hears them he could have stepped in and asked his Mami to Keep out and told his mother to slow down. But know he just eavesdrops and walks off.
      What's with the dixits and eavesdropping. Some genetic feature or what?

    2. Yes, it was a very sweet letter. May be you know her. But she reached out to me for the first time today.

      I enjoyed other posts in IF too. But I got sick of restrictions on my thoughts and opinions. So I am better off here.

      The precap is slightly confusing right now because we don't know where she is going with this. I guess I can give a better reaction tomorrow.

  4. does the show duration seem shorter or is the story just progressing at a snails pace ... we're in month 5 of the leap and there is no progress. Also, as per spoilers I think they are repeating season 1 with dev and sona roles exchanged ... expecting a sona ki deewangi this season i guess ... today the actors didn't seem convincing to me, they seemed to just go through the motions. Suhana is back to being annoying again.

    1. Dragging the story as leads are unavailable I guess. They are just toying around with the story according to call sheets or something I guess. The producers could have sensibly brought in the dixit sisters but no they have shaheer and Erica who are both by the way looking tired.

      Delete
    2. I agree I wish they had kept at least one of the dixit sisters ... nikki or rhea for covering absences. they must have known that shaheer was doing his movie before the leap right?

      Have you noticed that they aren't introducing any new subtracks that are not related to dev and sona?

    3. Agree. No sub tracks.Only about Dev-Sona. Not that I dont like it.

      Today, they showed almost every other scene with Erica's double. So, the feelings were disconnected. The scenes were copy-pasted...LOL...even the eyelock.
      The body double had long hairs..and Shaheer was smiling at her....hehe..enacting the scene as Dev.

      Delete
    4. This is not new yaar. They had been repeating first season for a while now. I honestly don't think if Dev again falls for Ishwari's manipulation, Sona will run after him. In fact it will cement the belief in her that Dev will never have any will of his own and he will forever remain his mother's puppet.

      But then, I am basing this conclusion based on Season one pre-marriage Sonakshi. You never know what this Sonakshi might do.

    5. Felt Sona was better today than yesterday! Now I am sure they have to shoot all the back log for DEV. .... hmm; may be he is so sick he will stay home and Sona-Jatin will finish up the Khatri chapter? :) I know I know --- I have a J track mind!

    It's raining here no it's pouring !I love my home state Kerala , the weather is usually good. We don't suffer extreme winter neither is the summer hot like a Delhi kind of summer.

It stops sending and receiving signal.
    So i am fully dependent on your write up today. Or else I have to wait for Sony people to upload it. But then I tend to stray on the comments section at you tube and sit around arguing with random people till 1 am at night.

  9. Tia, you do touch lives when you share a piece of urs, however tiny it may be. Sarcasm is sometimes the much needed respite when we go through innumerable chores all day ,then sit to watch krpkab and wonder why in the first place I watch this crap. It never takes away any of my worries but often angers me to the extent of ranting. Your views are balanced as I have never seen you giving reasons to justify an action which is a strict no-no. I feel we all are mature enough to know why a character behaves as such.

    Since I felt I never write much about you, so there it went ^^

    Next, let me sing praises for KRPKAB today. I got to. I was sick today and was wfh. I had a headache so was changing channels. So,accidentally I show some other shows and trust me, I fell in love with krpkab all over again. What BS is being shown in KB,IB, Udaan? Eh...out of curiosity I sat thru the first 15 min of each show, and OMG, I adore Dev-Sonakshi. I seriously do love krpkab, even if at times I rant, by comparison to some other shows, it stands out. Particularly KB, which tops charts, I'm still wondering how *shaking head in disbelief*.

    Okay, now the episode was kind of nice. I liked Bijoy telling his POV. Asha was crying, thankfully, and not reprimanding him. Ronita was spot on.
    Dev ne Ishwari ko Pappu banaya...hahaha.
    Dev-Sona eyelock was shot with body double, she had long hairs...LOL.
    Sona's dress was nice.
    Jatin is soooo handsome.
    Sona's alternate job is detective-giri...confirmed from best friend Jatin.
    Soha-Golu are cute.

    Loved how Sona said "Out" to Dev.

    Precap: There goes Maate...I'm patiently waiting for Bhaiya's reaction before I rant about Bhaiya.
    Pretty sure Ishwari meant, Sona and Dev shud marry...not each other but some one else.
    Cuckoo lady.

    And I'm still confused whether Dev was pretending to be sick or was actually sick...doesnot matter...jo barbad hona tha ho chuka hai...ab bas hunger strike ka wait hai.

    3. Yes our show has set such high standards that it has really spoiled me for other stupid stuff shown on tv. But now the issue for me is thank it's not living upto it's own lofty standards.

    4. Thank you Gauri. I appreciate the kind words. You guys are so sweet and supportive.

      About the episode, no. Dev didn't lie. He is really sick.

      So Ishwari's maatam was for no reason.

      Dev might try to fool Sonakshi, but he will never fool Ishwari.

      I agree with you. Now it's just waiting for the axe to come down on his head in the form of Ishwari's manipulation. And we all know when Maata pulls Mamta, Bhaiya has no kshamta to resist.

      Let's see how much spine he really grew in 7 years. Sorry 8 years.

      Sona will get over all this. After all, she understand why sometimes good souls do commit crimes, she'll understand her BFs noble intentions and then we have a happy family--- Soha,Sona , Jatin .

      Can we have something like this? Jatin looks better than Dev these days thanks to Dev's unkempt hair and rugged looks...Jatin is any day a good match for Sona these days.

  10. Gee what is with fever in this show. Mataji starts panicking and behaving as if sonny boy is in death bed or something. Must show this to my mother.
    Even if I complain about having a temperature my mother just takes a look at me and decides. She doesn't even do the touching on the forehead bit. She just looks at me and if I am really ill asks me take leave and rest at home and then pushes me off with a couple of paracetamol and cetrizine. Or if she feels I am not too sick asks me to take care when I am at the office. Her only show of concern is she gives me a call every couple of hours to check up on me. 🙄

  12. I guess it has become a daily grind for me to comment on your post whether it is related to the show.

    Regarding the letter, I always found leader qualities in you which is why you have so many admirers and followers including me . You can very easily become a leader in any field you choose. I can use psychology to prove it. ;)

    I loved today's episode as it showed how Bijoy is concerned for his kids for all the right reasons and every psychology student's dream experiment ISHu the GodDess is concerned for her kids for all the wrong reasons.
    I mean Bijoy is hurt because his kid is hurt by dixits and Ishwari is hurt coz her kid is not giving her attention and is not hurt by Sonakshi. WTF!!
    Regarding dev and sona, remember the syndromes and let them shit in their pants.

    1. Thank you, BH. Lol. Sure. I will let you take the centre stage in psychological analysis. You are the subject matter expert on it.

      I know, right? Bijoy's attitude and Ishwari's attitude have no similarities. Bijoy hates Dev because he hurt Sonakshi, Ishwari hates Sonakshi because she makes Dev happy.

      She is a true psychopath. You should analyse her. You will probably find many psychotic tendencies which match her profile.

      About Dev and Sona, I am just waiting for Ishwari to bring out her big guns as in Mamta and Ehsaan. Once she does it, just watch how Bhaiya does monkey dance. I will see how behena reacts then.

  15. Hi Tia,
    Great writing as usual ! The letter you shared is truly very sweet gesture from the lady.
    I am happy that so many appreciate what you write / how you write.
    I felt bad for bijoy too. I do at times get annoyed with his ways but never with his intentions. He always means the best for his kids unlike ishwari.
    I feel ishwari means remarriage for dev and sona with different people. And Dev may say sona won't agree even I want to remarry interpreting as ishwari is talking about Dev-sona remarriage. And she may tell sona that Dev has agreed to remarry someone else if you do the same so relieve him from it by agreeing to marry someone . So it's like a replay of tum dono alag ho jao... manipulations at its best. Sometimes I wonder if she intentionally told Dev preleap detailed description of moving out and living in anew house as tum dono alag ho jao to what she mentioned Tum dono alag ho jao to sona as she knew how it will all play out

    1. Thanks Meghal. That letter really made my day.

      I never could hate Bijoy because he did include Dev in his protective circle when he thought that Dev made his daughter happy. That Mussoorie ki kasam was one of the sweetest scene. But he hated Dev when he made his daughter cry. Ishwari on the other hand hated Sonakshi because she made her son happy. That's why I could never forgive her.

      You might be right on Ishwari's plan to get them married to other people. But Ishwari's manipulation will work on Dev. But how will she convince Sona to marry someone else? I don't think Sonakshi will agree to Ishwari's manipulation. Last time she had realized on her wedding night that Ishwari got her for her son like a toy. I wonder if she will remember that this time too.

      However, I have no doubt that Ishwari's manipulation will work on Dev. If it doesn't, then he would have passed the test he needs to prove that he is no longer a Mamma's Boy dancing to her tunes once and for all.

      Delete
    2. I agree on that Tia.
      Bijoy is a protective father and feels exactly how any protective father would feel just that he is a hyper personality. My father is exactly like bijoy except that he is extremely calm and still can stand by his 3 daughters. He is mentally as strong and opinionated as bijoy is.
      Dev will have to pass the real test for breaking ishwari's emotional blackmailing spell for bijoy to start thinking any positive about him and for sona to trust him to reconsider him in her life again.
      It's a big deal for Dev too to do it as he has been raised by the very same weapon of emotional blackmail to study, to achieve success in profession, to sacrifice and work very hard so that all siblings are settled without any efforts, for break up, for separation and now a new one to add to the list to remarry. Let's hope he comes out of it and makes himself worthy of having lifepartner like sonakshi.
      Btw, I would dislike to the core if they make jatin scapegoat for sona remarriage ... we know that devakshi are endgame. Already I feel sona takes jatin too much for granted ... as in she wants to help Dev and for that she is making jatin do everything.. spying, stealing... and poor guy is doing it leaving all his work

    3. If Dev doesn't break under Ishwari's manipulation regardless of her threats, then I will accept that he is no longer a Mamma's boy.

  17. Hi Tia ji, nice post and a sweet letter you shared...

    Regarding the episode, I didn't want to actually comment on it, but my frustration got the better of me. Why is it that the CVs think we viewers are dumb?? Four scenes that actually bothered me the most today is,
    1. This show has a habit of showing fever like some life-threatening disease, then what about cancer, heart conditions, brain damages?? It's just fever, even kids don't fuss so much these days over fever. And when did stress start triggering fever?? Kuch bhi?? By the way the guy dint end up with fever even when he was pouring buckets in honor of his dear mother being a thief, but now at the thought his daughter not being with his mother for 4 days?? Really??

    2. In the long list of mr. Dev dixit's achievements, he can add another one, being a bad uncle too. Instead of teaching Golu what he is doing is wrong, he is encouraging him?? Even that I can tolerate, but the poor kid's is obviously hurting so much, but this guy doesn't give a damn. What kind of a moron are you?? Ignoring a kid is a form of psychological abuse on the kid. Somehow bcoz of this I don't enjoy even the daughter-father scenes.

    3. Sonakshi - God, she is so so desperate to be in the good books of ishwari and dev. She isn't worried for her father who would be waiting for them, she isn't worried that her daughter is upset for her father, All she is worried is for her ex MIL, really?? The CVs are so desperate to sell the mahaan mataji halwa to the viewers, but unfortunately it's just causing me indigestion. Seriously I just want to go inside the TV and shake her hard. The CVs are seriously overdosing Sonakshi's ishwari bhajan.

    4. The only saving grace of the episode was Jatin, such a wonderful friend. This girl doesn't have even the most basic courtesy to ask if he is ok after all the risks he took for her, shame on Sonakshi. Anyways, anyone who is in dixit house turns out to be a selfish self-serving person, so I guess no wonder there.

    I guess I've vented all my frustrations. Thanks Tia ji, if I had done this in IF, people would have attacked me left and right.

    1. Thanks Leena. That's why I made this post so that people can talk about anything without restrictions. I am giving you response in the same order.

      1. Yes, the way they were fussing over a little fever with everyone surrounding the bed, it seemed like Shahrukh's death scene in Kal Ho Naa Ho except that was him dying and here Dev had a fever from stress. Of all unbelievable reasons, he got fever from stress of going to Bose house. I am surprised he didn't die of fever when he was lying to everyone about Sonakshi being pregnant when she was not while handling Ayan's blackmailing. But I guess that was not nearly as stressful as facing Bijoy.


      2. Dev had always used his looks and money to get Golu out of a sticky situation. That's why he is failing in every subject. When he fails, Dev flirts with the teacher. When he gets into trouble, Dev uses his charm to get him out of it. In short, he spoils Golu and doesn't teach him anything good. I haven't seen him teaching anything good to Suhana either. Instead Suhana taught him that she won't sneak out of the window and go with him without her mother's permission, she taught him that she won't accept anything that is not her right, she taught him that she doesn't like to break rules like when he sent his cell phone with Golu.

      But I doubt he learned his lessons.

      3. Sonakshi was behaving today as if she was in summer camp having fun and her daddy told her that now she will have to come in to do her homework. As if by going back she is only humouring her dad, but actually she never wants to leave the loving atmosphere of Dixit house. She is another one who pissed me off today with her attitude.

      4. I agree, I agree, I agree. Jatin is incredible. I am glad today he reminded Sona how she is taking Jatin for granted. She was so eager to get the information, she didn't even ask if Khatri caught him or he got into trouble. Sonakshi is so selfish. I don't know why Jatin is even her friend. She does nothing for him. Zero.

      No need to call me Tia ji, hun. Call me Tia. 😊

  18. Tia seems like confusion precap umm ishwari is saying dev and sona to marry is she going to say u too move on marrying some one else if so dev will know how his mom words can twist like jelabi and make a difference to other ppl mind .
    Umm I feel again they are rounding off the show and sona told the same today her life was rewind mode .
    Let's see how sona gives it back
    I feel next week we will get fillers shaheer again to his movie shoot so script has to change .
    After reading ur update I watched episode on twitter only devakshi scenes got to watch let's see does sona mean the way she says to dev or again fall in trap of ishwari
    Seems ishwari has a plan or the show has started to reach its end June is nearing .
    I don't know tia these days scene to scene is some what half baked choppy scenes like yesterday sona says about Prakash god knows makers have lost interest and seems supriyaji has lost interest she is doing for her commitment Erika looks disinterested too
    Only scene I liked the way bijoy spoke was so cool such a loving father and ronita was cool too hope they don't ruine her character.
    I bet within weeks they will wind it up the show if the family and ishwari meet no story left ishwari will unite devakshi and Vicky gkb will be forgiven because of golu

    1. You might be right, Shailu. We will have to wait until tomorrow to see what Ishwari meant and how Bhaiya reacts to that. With Maiya, you never know. She always says something and has something else going on in her head. Waise, itni bimaar thi season one mein. Thik ho gayee Kya? Aur kitni jiyegi? Ab to Yamraaj ko idhar attention dena chahiye naa. Narak mein vacancy nehin hain kya?

    3. My grandmother uses a Bengali expression for people who are mean which is "Jomer aruchi". That means even not suited for Yamraaj's taste as in Yamraaj reject. Ishwari reminds me of that expression.

  19. Its always wonderful to know you have made a difference to even one person's life - in a small way or large. And so this letter must have been heart-warming to you. Well done :) and most of us have been touched by having this thread as a "connector".

    So here are my 2 cents: (I am actually going to be positive today)

    1. The chemistry between them certainly seemed more natural --- maybe this was shot post Ericas trip? Whatever - if you forget the lack of logic --- which we all know of --- this was still very OK. normal convo... and he genuinely (or not) fell sick. I loved that line --" only you can handle me" -- true right? Baby can only be handled by second mom chick sona. Mummy- Ex- Beti.... aur Kay chahiye usko!?

    2. The whole Bijoy Asha convo --- just love Bijoy! So upfront and willing to stand up for his daughter !

    And .... so my friends: rumor has it the show may wind up. Apparently - Shaheer back in Indo for 2 more weeks? or whatever ---- and something re a new show - etc etc.

    I prefer an end rather than a stupid plot (which we currently have) with no reasonable redemption track! I will miss having this group thread to read and respond to,

    Is anyone else missing looking at the replies?! I am ---- while TIA diligently responds to us all --- we can't seem to talk much to each other easily unless we are online at the same time :)!

    1. Thank you. You guys are certainly part of my writing journey. And I am very happy to have met so many wonderful people here. Even after the show ends, this blog will stay here. And if I start watching another show, I will start writing here. So all of you who have subscribed can then decide if you want to come along or not.

      1. I agree. The chemistry is natural today for two reasons. There are no stuttering in plot. The script made sense. It flowed from a set chemistry to another without seeming disjointed. As an English graduate I can tell you that a naturally flowing script is a must for any actors to portray their capabilities. Otherwise, no matter how much chemistry the leads have, they just don't make sense. People can only understand their chemistry if they can see it developing or sustaining. Today, the episode started with a comfortable chemistry and it flowed the same way. Unlike yesterday where who was coming from what direction was hard to grasp.

      2. I loved that Jatin reminded Sona to not treat him as her paid minions. He is doing her a favour which he is happy to do. But while he doesn't expect thanks for them, but at least she should ask him if he is okay provided he committed a crime for her.

      I feel sometimes that Sona take Jatin's unconditional support for granted the same way Dev takes her for granted, Ishwari takes Dev for granted, Asha takes Bijoy for granted. Nothing they can do is never enough and they don't even acknowledge what they have already done. Instead they keep thinking what else they should or could do.

      However, I am not very happy to hear the show is closing. I, believe it or not, never wanted that. I wanted them to listen to us and give us back the script, the chemistry, the leads from the first 100 episodes. I am tired of watching a show and it falling in pits and then shutting down abruptly. I don't think that's fair to us loyal fans.

      But if this is how they want to progress the story with every character destroyed, I guess it's better that they are shutting down.

    2. I did NOT also want it to end --- this way! But if its soooo silly - what does the Station do? CVs seem to have a) lost it - I doubt that; or b) they have serious cast problems - Shaheer and Supriya trouble with dates etc... who knows?!

      Either way ---- if there is no story, there is nothing left. You would think --- they could have sent Ish away and still shown a redemption track.... but nah...

      Anyway - we shall see.

    3. Apparently they knew that Shaheer would be leaving every month so it disappoints me that they didn't account for it in the script. It also bothers me that they aren't handling vacation and sick days well for an experienced production house. I get that shit happens and you need to scramble but to have an entire track dependent on a child artist is dumb...I believe things went haywire when the actor playing Suhana got sick, while Supriya was on vacation with Shaheer unavailable.
      Why introduce young children if your cast is already stretched so thin for dates ... kids are bloody hard to work with because they are so unpredictable.

    Cvs hav put an additional cast to the show , " fever " . By hearing the word ' fever " , the panic created esp for matajii is much more compared to the news of an impending category 5 hurricane .Yeh Cvs bhi naa ?? Actually fever is nt a disease , it's a symptom showing some kind of infection or something that our body is nt keeping well. I'm hearing for the first time that stress is the reason for a fever , heard that stress causes headache , anyways...

    1. Hi Aarcha,

      Yes, the letter was a great way to start a day. Made me happy.

      I just don't understand why all this drama around fever? And why every single time, it's the same disease? Come up with a new one naa. Like Bhaiya broke his leg or arm. At least something that matches his mental mother's (as you so nicely put) category 5 hurricane alarm reaction.

      She behaves as if the world has come to an end because her son had fever. And her Kada that didn't work last time (and Sonakshi said that it will make his fever bad), suddenly is recommended by doctor?

      Hain? Kada ka naya version invent kiya hain kya Ishwari ne in 7 saalon mein? Like from old Kada to Super Kada?

      Logic ko to ab aap jaane hi do.

      Aur uske upar Ishwari ka blackmail is back in action.

      Iss baar agar Bhaiya blackmail ho gaye to samjho unka patta kat gaya behena ki life se.

    2. Simple math:

      DEV ki FEVER > SOHA ki CHICKeN POX> any other Bihari for anyone

  25. why is dev behaving like a love sick puppy all of a sudden? He can't seem to stop dropping hints about how much he wants Sona (I was about to say love but I think the character is more lustful than anything else), but it was only last week (even in serial land) where he was calling her a slut and questioning her character and mothering abilities right? Nowadays all he does is act like a bumbling idiot who just wants Sona to love him... what happened to all the random tashan over nothing?

    1. Behaving like a love sick puppy is one thing but a man of around 35+ and a father of a 7 year old child behaving like a college boy is just not done. Once in a while some one behaving like a clueless kid looks cute but when that reaction is the norm then it becomes irritating.
      The dialogue I don't like at all is the one sona keeps mouthing about his puppy eyes and face and now add floppy hair. If this was a college love story then it would not have sounded so out of place.

    2. Our darling cvs do have memory issues they are completely forgetting the dialogues that dev spit out at sona. Or they are trying to show that now sona is trying to help out ishwari Devi her bakth son is ready to forget and forgive and give into lust.

      Delete
    3. Well, that doesn't surprise me though. The easiest way to make Bhaiya happy is to be devoted to his mother. Sona had figured out in season one. You notice, the moment Sona revealed that she was into Ishwari worship, his attitude changed from surly and disrespectful to adoring and respectful? Yep.

      And did you also notice how Sona is again back to her old Maata Bhajan ways, while Ishwari gives her the stink eye? Yep.

      So you can bet that since Ishwari has given ultimatum/opened her blackmail shop, season one is about to be repeated.

      Delete
  26. LOL @ Ishwari resorting to emotional blackmail yet again. Sometimes the sadistic me really wishes to see Dev succumb to the lifelong emotional abuse and commit or atleast attempt suicide. I know its a sensitive issue but I dont think there is any other stop to this endless loop of Ishwari trying to manipulate everyone around her. The writers are ridiculous to repeat this cycle of emotional abuse in the name of maa ka pyaar in almost every alternate track. There has to be some end to this know? I dont mind if that end is Dev attempting suicide and going into coma or something just so Ishwari can rot in guilt.

    P.S. The writers will once again reduce this whole nonsense into some ridiculous re-marriage drama and Dev-Sona tashan with them re-uniting at the end of the track. What they dont realize is that emotional abuse is no joke and for once they need to show Dev either opposing it or succumbing to it and just dying (or attempting :D)

    P.S.S. astrix here

    3. Astrix, have you ever seen a short person walking a giant dog? Do you know that in those situation when the owner thinks that they are less powerful than the dog and maybe they won't be able to control the it, they occasionally test their strength by losing the leash and then yanking it back to see if they have the strength to hold on to the leash. So that when they really need to control the dog, i.e. in a crowded place, they know that they can.

      Ishwari does the same with Dev. She loses the leash a bit, but the moment she sees any hint of him straying in a direction she does not want him to go, she yanks back on his leash to see how much control she has on him. Just think back all the incidents from the beginning and you will see that she had been doing. Dev says he loves Sona, she takes sleeping pill. Dev calls Asha Maa, she creates a huge scene. Dev lies to her (never mind the fact that she had always lied to him) and she again yanks his leash.

      Now if Dev wants to live like a dog on a leash who has no will, no wishes, no life except to jump at his master's command, then that's his choice. But then he has no right to take another responsibility like wife or children because a person with no will, no rights, no life except slavery can't do justice to any relationship. In old days slaves were not allowed to be married. They were bred like cattles. Because the master did not want the slave to switch loyalty to their family.

      It seems that's what Ishwari wants for Dev.

  28. Just saw the precap online. There is something that I don't like about the basic characterisation of ishwari whatever she does has a an ulterior motive. She always claims that she wants what is best for her son and family but what she actually means is she wants what's best for her. Come on dev was single and mingling freely with women and never coming home for the past 7 years and she was okay with it. Not because she was not present in his life in the seven years dev kept her out too. But she was okay with it because if she was not there neither was anyone else. Now she has seen the threat of sona looming again and she wants to kick that threat out. And I somehow feel that she is using reverse psychology here. She must have got definitive indication that sona is not ready to get back with dev , till now. So her sugar coated offer. Now dev will feel that mummy is so nice and sona has such ego that she can't understand mummy. It's like the time ishu told sona tum dono alag ho jao and told dev tum dono alag ghar me raho! Dev still thinks that was his mother making a sacrifice!

    1. Agree. That's why I have problem when they portray her as some Goddess and Sona does aarti of her. Its so irritating. Being good doesnot mean you shud turn blind to evil. Ishwari is meethi chhuri, I cant see any good or an ounce of selflessness in her even though she calls herself only a "Mother". That is so contradictory in itself.

      Delete
    2. Honestly if Dev still can't see his mother's reality, then there is no hope for him. He will always be her slave. And no woman wants to spend their life with a slave because they will never get their husband since he is owned by his master.

  29. Dear interesting lady from Canada, we too are fond of your writing! :D Your posts are forthright, honest, sincere and factual. It is no nonsense and non diplomatic. Maybe that is why some people have problem with it! ;) It is kind of Bijoyish and I love Bijoy Bose! :D

    Coming to the episode, I was angry with Sona, she just takes two of her well wishers for granted. Bijoy and Jatin. Fest really bad when Jatin was reminding Sona about basic manners. She showers all her concern to puppy lover! Everyone was fawning over Dev! Ishwari so worried, making kada, kids applying patti. Compared to that Soha was hardly pampered! Ishwari did not even come as per her schedule and decided to prolong her stay at Vaishno Devi while her darling grand-daughter was suffering from chicken pox! I wonder who is the kid in Ishwari Niwas?!

    Precap is interesting! Lets see how it plays out.

  31. LOL Sona apparently tells Dev to move on and get married to someone else. Just as I predicted. I hope Dev has enough sense to not give in to either his mom or Ishwari and tells them he has no idea of getting married and he will let them know if he ever plans to. Getting married cos of mommy's blackmail or to prove a point to your ex is ridiculous and will only lead to another pointless crap where Dev-Sona will confuse the hell out of everyone and the marriage will break after a lot of tamasha. Why cant we have one normal track with proper introspection for a change? It is getting dramatic and unbearable by the day.

    1. Say what? Well, that is also an acid test for Dev. I would like to see him taking his decision without anyone's influence - either his mother or Sona. I never wanted him to transition from being a Mamma's boy to a Wifey's pet. I wanted him to develop his own personality and become his own person regardless of who says what. But I guess Dev will forever be led by his nose and never be his own person.

    5. If drama and to bring twists is Cvs' purpose (which seems to be the truth no matter how much they say the opposite), then they will make him do that only (going for marriage), because if he doesn't how can there be a track (Cvs' logic) with a lot of drama, and accusations and angst and jealousy and Dev making Sona jealous during the different fuctions of the weeding and she feeling bad and he telling her this is what you wanted right , that I move on and get married to another person then why are you upset now and then Sona denying and putting a brave face just to see her after that crying in her own room when she is alone etc etc etc, this is a deja vu situation and it happened in many Tv shows BUT if story and original characterization were really the things that matter then obviously Dev will refuse to marry, he said that he can't move on and as long as we know original Dev , he decided to call off the engagement with Natasha even if in the day of the engagement itself and knowing all what is at stake and apologize instead of marrying her while he is in love with another woman, that would be unfair to Natasha.

      So here also that would be unfair to the other girl, in their games they have no right to hurt a third person, I always felt that Sona-Ritwick's relationship was a rebound, It's wrong (my opinion) to start a new relationship when you didn't take enough time to get over the previous one, I know Sona told Ritwick everything back then and I guess even asked him to help her overcome it, but what she kept saying is I "loved" Dev while the truth was that she still "loves" Dev, So for me it's extremely wrong and unfair to marry someone when you are still in love with someone else. What's wrong with staying single till you figure out a way out of your mess, why ruin other people's life. How can such decisions be taken lightly!

      The original Dev and Sona were supposed to be mature despite their flaws but just the way Cvs made Sona go for a rebound to show Dev's deewangi track which I thought it was something which didn't suit Sona's maturity they might as well make Dev go for shaadi just out of hurt because she asked him to do it and to show her during the fucntions that she was wrong in asking him to do so and that she still cares for him despite denying it (the farak padta hai/nahi farak padta thing!!)

      Anyway all these are just speculations, I just talk from my own small experience with hindi shows, characterization is always compromised when it comes to create drama and stretch tacks, Cvs will conveniently make the characters behave the way that suits the track they want to show and not as the original character would behave and that's the biggest problem of indian TV !

    7. No worries, JN. I got your points. Yes, I agree. I made a scathing post on Sona when she dumped Ritwik after stringing him along for such a long time. Yes, Ritwik knew of her past and willingly stayed by her. But she also told him that she will never go back to Dev. Yet, she kept thinking about him. She should have let Ritwik go then and there.

      The same way, if Dev agrees for re-marriage for whatever reason, I hope he goes through it. Because if he plays the same game and goes running after Sona, I will be pissed at him too. It's not right to include innocent people in their sick mind game.

      Delete
  32. I don't think they will give us a scene where Dev explicitly says a YES or NO to getting married to Sona. Dev will first run to Sonakshi and it will be up to her to say a YES or NO. Obviously , at this point in time she will refuse. And then Maiyya will ask Dev to consider other alliances. Let's see what he does then. But I really hope Bhaiyya surprsises us this time by not bending to Maiyya's will and refusing to get married to Sona or anybody for that matter.
