Tia's Thread - The Beginning to An End!!!

Hello dearies,

This is it. This is the last week of Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke Aise Bhi!!! A show which brought us together and entertained and frustrated us in equal measure. A show whose first 150 episodes I still watch on repeat because they were iconic scenes of Indian Television in terms of execution, screenplay and brilliant performances.

However, since the show is ending on Aug 25th and I am on vacation, Gauri will be updating the blog on Thursday, Aug 24th and Friday, Aug 25th, 2017. 

If you want to continue any discussion, I will open a page called "KRPKAB Reloaded" where you can share, admire, appreciate, criticise or just generally talk about any scene/episode/characters you want to talk about.

What will I do in this blog once the show ends you ask?

Well, since I will be travelling, I will write my travel diaries with pictures from my trip. If you guys are still interested, feel free to check them out.

As for my co-writers, feel free to write anything you feel like writing or sharing. If you want to talk about any new show, go ahead.

Thanks for everything...

What begins, must come to an end. But when the ending is beautiful, the hardship of the journey doesn't feel so bad.

Hope they will end this show on a beautiful note!!!


EPISODE: The episode starts with Sonakshi telling Asha that Bhaiya was reading pregnancy books all night. Now he will get up in the afternoon.

Ishwari says: Oh God!!! If he wants to take care of you, he has to take care of his health first. Isn't it?

Asha says: Absolutely. But that's husband's job. When wife is pregnant, they have all the tension in the world. 

Sonakshi smiles.

Ishwari: Yes, that's true. Whatever happens in the nine months is a motherAnything else is a mother's job. A mother takes care of the baby for nine months. What other work is left for anyone else to do? Just get tensed.

Asha says: Yes, so who is stopping them to get tensed? But the problem is that they take all stress alone. They don't get stressed as much as they stress others.

Ishwari laughs: You are right.

Sonakshi says: Maa, you should have seen Dev last night. I had to drag him to bed. He was not letting go off the book. And when I woke up, I saw that he made notes in the book.

Asha laughs: Is he studying that much?

Sonakshi says: Yes, even doctors don't study as much. 

They all laugh.

Just then Bhaiya comes there.

Ishwari says: Arre, he is already up.

Sonakshi asks: How did you get up so soon?

Bhaiya says: I am half an hour late. Come on. Extend your arm.

Sonakshi: Why?

Bhaiya: What why? I want to check your blood pressure. Doctor said we should monitor it regularly.

Ishwari and Asha are amused.

Ishwari says: One minute, Dev. It's Sonakshi's job. How do you know how to do this?

Bhaiya says: I just learned it last night.

Ishwari is shocked.

Me: Youtube University's special course : ACLA (Anyone Can Learn Anything)!!! Kisiko bhi kuch bhi sikha sakta hain!!!



Sonakshi says: There was no need for this.

Bhaiya: Shut up. If you talk like this, BP will increase. 

He tests BP to be normal.

Bhaiya: It's normal. But I will still call the doctor and let her know.

Sonakshi looks at Asha and Ishwari. They smile.

She is also amused.

Me: Bhaiya is sweet. But he is always over the top. The doctor will resign if Bhaiya keeps on calling to report normal status.

But if that makes him let Sonakshi live a regular lifestyle without his brand of smothering, let him continue to run after Sonakshi with BP machine. That's still manageable.


Radha is instructing on healthy food to PK. 

She says: Write Semolina. Write it down fast. The food should be tasty but with less oil. My child will eat healthy, then she will remain fit naa. 

PK says: I got it.

Me: Wow, Radha now calls Sonakshi her baby? What the eff?

Radha: Oh and don't reduce sugar in Halwa in attempt to make the food healthy. My child needs sugar. He is running such a big business. He needs energy, no?

PK agrees.

Radha: Shut up. You have come from vacation after such a long time. Now work fast.

Me: Oh, so not Sonakshi. She is talking about Bhaiya. I thought since everyone is doing personality transplant, may be Radha also got hers done over the weekend. Lol...


Ishwari comes there with Sonakshi: Bhabhi, you are in kitchen so early?

Radha says: Yes, Jiji. I am making healthy food for Vicky. If he eats healthy food, then he can use his brain to run such a big business, naa?

Me: Whatttttt????? So not only she is not moving in with her Vicky, she is also still using Bhaiya's money to make healthy food for her red? Are you frigging kidding me? That's why I had said, get rid of the moochers. 

No wonder Radha is not moving anywhere. I hate freeloaders.


Radha looks at Sonakshi and says: Hummm... So Jiji's ex-nutrition, tell me if this food is healthy for my Vicky?

Sonakshi says in slightly sarcastic tone: Mamiji, you know better than me.

And of course Radha the moron doesn't get sarcasm. So she becomes happy: That's true. After dieting for so long, you get to learn stuff. But you don't take any tension, I have talked to Vicky. Your company will get his office's nutrition contract.

Sonakshi says with even more exaggeration and added sarcasm to Ishwari who was trying to suppress laughter: Oooohhh... It would be so good for my company. Thank you, Mamiji.

Ishwari gets it. Radha doesn't.

Radha: Office talk will continue, but I want to tell you a big news. 

Ishwari says: What?

Radha: Vicky and Elena will  complete their family.

Ishwari and Sonakshi are happy.

Ishwari: Really? That's very good news, Bhabhi.

Radha: Yes. I told them not to waste time. At least one more kiddie is a must.

Sonakshi says sarcastically to Ishwari: Maa, Vicky is such an obedient son that he will produce ten kiddies just like that on Mamiji's command. 

Radha is super happy.

Ishwari gets it but she clears her throat to hide her laughter: Yes, true true. Bhabhi, we are sitting outside. Let me know if you need anything. 

Radha giggles to herself.

Me: Now, I enjoyed this sarcastic Sonakshi so much. I swear, witty Sonakshi is my all time favourite. Unfortunately, she tends to hide behind dumb Sonakshi most of the time. It was hilarious to watch. Finally Sonakshi found her biting teeth without losing her dignity. Reminded me off the time Sonakshi came after break up and showed a mirror to Ishwari and Radha.


Soha and Golu are in the school.

Golu says: I didn't want to talk to you. But I am still talking to you.

Soha: Why? What did I do?

Golu: You pretend to be too busy these days. When I call to complain, you cut the phone and go elsewhere.

Soha: Why would I do this without any reason? I really had to do homework.

Golu: You are so busy that I get bored. We haven't gone out for so many days.

Soha says: Okay fine. We will go out...

Golu: Really?

Soha says: We will buy some special gift and eat cheeseburger. 

Golu: Where will we go? And what is the special gift, tell naa?

Soha: No. That's a secret. You will come to know later.

Golu: This is cheating. You can't keep secret from me. Tell me, naa.

Soha: Okay, I will tell you. First close your eyes.

Golu closes his eyes.

Soha runs away.

Golu keeps saying: Soha, why you aren't saying anything? Soha?

Then he opens his eyes and sees Soha is not there. He shouts in anger: Soha is a cheater.

Me: I don't know why Soha treated Golu like that. She was always a very sensitive girl who even forgave Golu who bothered her and pushed her. But she has turned out to be a person who doesn't give a damn about anyone and plays games with people they might find hurtful. What was the need for her to lead Golu on?


Sonakshi comes to her wardrobe and opens it. Then she remembers what Bhaiya said and did to make her work from home.

Bhaiya comes there and asks: Are you looking for your Wonder Woman costume?

Sonakshi stammers.

Bhaiya says: I was thinking what superheroes talk about when they are with each other? May be they say, "I put your cape in the washing machine. So please wear my cape today" or may be wives tell their husbands, "Why do you wear underwear outside everyday? Can't you wear underwear inside like normal people?".

Sonakshi laughs: What?

She is about to leave when Bhaiya stops her.

Bhaiya: Sonakshi, I have something to tell you. Get ready for office.

Sonakshi says: I was thinking that...

Bhaiya says: I know. I will say, don't go to office. And you will say that you have to. I will say that leave work and you will say that you can't do it. You will get tensed and stressed and it will show on your face. That's why I have decided something.  

Sonakshi: What?

Bhaiya: I have decided that you will go to work. But I will adjust my office timing with yours. I have made an SOS list in your phone. When you press this button, everyone will get a message and this list includes your employees.

Sonakshi asks: That means that if there's no one in the office and I press this button, everyone in this list will come over to the office. 

Bhaiya nods.

Sonakshi is impressed: Thank you so much. You are the best.

Bhaiya says: I am doing this to win the most supporting husband award.

Sonakshi: Really? Had you behaved like this before, then I'd have told you first that I am pregnant.

Bhaiya: And the most clever wife award goes to Mrs. Sonakshi Dixit. 

Sonakshi says: Huh?

Bhaiya: Now let's go.

Me: Let me tell you Bhaiya, I am mighty impressed by you. You have improved a lot. This was the right attitude. You can't forcefully make people change their priorities, but if your priorities are them, you change your schedule to accommodate them.

And Sonakshi, you have also turned into Asha. You don't tell your husband the news of pregnancy first because of his behaviour. You tell it to your husband first because it's his right as the father who contributed 50% in this process. So unfortunately, as pretty you are looking in much better clothing, I am glad that I don't have to see you anymore after this week.


Sonakshi complaints to Bhaiya: Now won't you even let me carry my bag?

Bhaiya doesn't hand over the bag: No. Now come on.

Ishwari comes there: What's going on? Where you two are going?

Bhaiya says: Office.

Ishwari says: Didn't you hear what doctor said? Didn't he say that the first three months are critical for the baby? Sonakshi, you should rest naa? So don't go to office. And Dev, you also work from home. Who knows when she might need you.

Bhaiya says: But Maa, it's not easy for Sonakshi to work from home. Besides the office is close. We will come home soon. I have also told her not to go for meetings out of office. She should do all meetings in the office.

Ishwari: You are so strange, Dev. When you should not have stopped her, you did. But when she doesn't need to go, you are letting her go?

Bhaiya: Because the doctor said to keep her happy and I have understood that her happiness lies on her work. If she is at work, she will keep busy. If she stays at home, she will keep on thinking about the complications. If she stays positive, her health will also be better. It's called Psychosomatic.

Ishwari says: I don't understand such big words.

Bhaiya: Maa, the doctor said that. Maa, you don't worry. I will go with her and come back with her. I will always be her side.

Ishwari says: Sonakshi, look, take care of yourself. No need to work too hard.

Sonakshi agrees and they leave.

Ishwari grumbles: What was the need for them to go to work?

Me: Ishwari and Bhaiya are both right from their point of views here. But what I liked is that they didn't try to impose their views on Sonakshi. She wanted to go to work, they made sure the proper care is in place. I am liking how they are treating this pregnancy so far.


Sonakshi is working at office. There are lots of bouquets around. Must be Bhaiya.

Her secretary says: The office is looking so different. It's good.

Sonakshi smiles and says: I know. This is all Dev's doing. He has made the office pregnancy friendly.

Her secretary says: You are so lucky, ma'am?

Bhaiya, on the other hand, is changing tables and chairs with comfort in mind.

Sonakshi hears the noise. She says: What is this commotion going on outside?

Her secretary says: I don't know, ma'am.

They go out to check.

Bhaiya is planning to create a library where he can stock books for employees. 

There are a bunch of kids' picture on the wall.

Sonakshi asks: Dev, what is going on?

Bhaiya says: Sonakshi, why are you here? You should be in your cabin, no?

She asks: But what is going on here?

Bhaiya says: I just realised that there are so many pregnant ladies in the office and also those who are planning to get pregnant. And I can't believe it. Our office is not pregnancy friendly at all. That's why we have to do a lot of changes. 

Just then an employee brings a pregnant woman.

Bhaiya hands over hot water bag and a book: Yes, this is for you. It will be helpful to you.

She thanks him.

Bhaiya says: Now you can go. And get her desk ready.

The male employee agrees.

Sonakshi is amused. 

Bhaiya says: Sonakshi, you should not be here. We will manage here. We have to do a lot of work so you go.

Sonakshi and her secretary smile and leave.

Me: Bhaiya, good initiative. But remember, the best thing for a pregnant woman and a man who has a pregnant wife is parental leave. How about a nice parental leave to expecting parents? Don't forget the man. He also needs to bond with his baby.


Soha comes to Golu who is sulking: You are still angry with me? Didn't you like my plan?

Golu says: The plan is good and it will be fun too. But Mamma Papa aren't listening to me.

Soha asks: What are you talking about?

Golu says: BigCha and BigChi are bringing you a little brother, right?

Soha: Right.

Golu: Then why aren't my parents bringing me a little sister?

Soha: You ask them so that they listen to you.

Golu: I asked. But Papa got angry. Now even Dadi isn't helping. No one is listening to me.

Soha: I will pray for you everyday so that Beautiful and Chachu get you a little sister. Okay?

Golu: Sure?

Soha: Sure.

Golu: Then you pray here naa? Please.

Soha: Here?

Golu: Yes, please. You are my sister, naa?

Soha closes her eyes and starts praying.

Golu scoots off.

Soha opens her eyes and gets angry: Golu, I won't spare you.

Me: Ha ha... Tit for tat. May be next time Soha, you think before you bother Golu.


Bhaiya and Sonakshi are having lunch.

Sonakshi asks: So how's the food? This bland food?

Bhaiya nods his head: It's good.

Sonakshi nods: Uh-huh.

Bhaiya says: It's good. I should eat this too. This is healthy. You should eat this too or you will get acidity.

Sonakshi: Only I should eat this. You should eat something else. You should eat this.

She brings out a different lunchbox.

Bhaiya: What is this?

Sonakshi: You don't have to eat bland food for me. So I asked Maa to make separate food for you. Eat it.

Bhaiya: No no. I will eat what is made for you. Even I will get healthy with you.

Sonakshi: Then fine. You deliver the baby on my behalf. 

Bhaiya: This was not written in any book that sense of humour gets ruined in pregnancy. 

Sonakshi: Yes, but every pregnant lady knows that their husband go mad.

Bhaiya: Oh so you mean I am mad?

Just then a chubby lady comes and says: Dev sir, I am sorry. But I don't need cushion and greeting card.

Bhaiya: But why? 

The lady says: Because I am not pregnant. My weight increased on vacation. Everyone is laughing at me outside. You embarrassed me in front of everyone.

Bhaiya stammers sorry while Sonakshi is laughing.

The lady leaves.

Me (Facepalm): Bhaiya, do you mean to say that you didn't ask who is pregnant or not, but just assumed based on the size of the tummy who is pregnant and provided pregnancy kit? Are you kidding me?

Bhaiya, you are a museum peace. I am pretty sure Madam Tussaud is looking for a sample like you to display at their exhibit.



Sonakshi pulls his cheeks: Awww... My big baby.

Bhaiya: Keep your awws to yourself.

Sonakshi: Why are you so cute?

Bhaiya: What is this? It's so confusing?

Sonakshi: Anyway, I am leaving for home shortly.

Bhaiya: Okay, I will finish my work and come with you.

Sonakshi: No need. You finish your work and come. I will go with the driver.

Bhaiya: Okay, call from the car. 

Sonakshi smiles and agrees.

Me: Yep, Bhaiya stick to your pregnant wife. No need to go after others' pregnant wives. You can get sued for your behaviour.


Anyhoo, a shirtless Vicky is staring at Elena who is sitting in front of the mirror with romantic music playing in the background.

Me: Lo bolo. Poore serial mein Bhaiya ne bas ek baar shirt utara aur woh bhi botton half of his chest covered in Shimla.

Aur Vicky ka shirt hain jo kabhi bhi utar jaata hain.

Romance dekhna kiska tha aur dikh kiska raha hain.

(Go figure. In the entire serial, Bhaiya only took his shirt off once and that too with bottom half of his chest covered in Shimla.

And Vicky's shirt comes off any time at moment's notice.

We wanted to see romance of Bhaiya and Sona, and they are showing these freeloader's romance instead)


Vicky romances Elena and notices her birth control pills on the nightstand. 

He thinks about what Radha said.

He makes excuses and runs.

Elena wonders what happened to him. She is shocked.

Me: Sorry, this portion is short because they turn my stomach.


Bhaiya is working in the office.

He thinks about what Sonakshi said.

The guy asked if Bhaiya will be here for testing.

Bhaiya asks him to handle. He leaves for home.

At home, Sonakshi is working.

Ishwari says: Sona beta, work later. Now drink the soup.

Sonakshi says: Maa, I ate at work.

Ishwari: But that was a while ago. And besides that was your food. This is for my Shubh.

Sonakshi: Not any more. If I keep eating like this, I will gain another 50 kilos by delivery.

Ishwari: You will be of 50 kilos. And whatever weight you gain, you lose after delivery. You are nutrition, naa?

She feeds Sona more.

Sonakshi says: Did you eat?

Ishwari says: I will eat with Soha.

Just then Soha comes running.

Ishwari says: Look, think of the devil and she is here. Come my doll. We were just talking about you. You will live for 100 years.

Soha says: 100 years? Dadi, I will get old by then. 

Ishwari kisses her: You will get old? You are grandma even now.

Sonakshi laughs. She asks: Did you bring stuff for your project? We will do the project together. Mamma promised you naa that we will do the project together?

Soha stammers: But Mamma, I didn't bring the stuff for project.

Sonakshi: Why? I gave you money for it. Then why didn't you bring? You are not hiding anything from me, naa? You are not lying to me?

Ishwari says: No, Sonakshi. Soha has promised her Dadi that she will never lie again.

Soha says: Yes, I will never lie again.

Ishwari says: Then tell Mamma.

Soha opens her school bag and takes out baby clothes.

She gives them to Sonakshi.

Soha: I went to get these for baby. So I had no money left for project.

Sonakshi and Ishwari get emotional.

Sonakshi asks teary eyed: You went to get these?

Soha says: Golu and I went to the market. So we bought clothes for the baby. He is my little brother, no?

Sonakshi is overwhelmed. Ishwari is too.

Me: When I was in school, I used to go to school in a rickshaw. My grandmother used to give the rickshaw guy money if I needed to pick something for school on the way. But I never got money until my family was sure that I understand the value of money. And for that I had to "earn" them with grades. Nothing was given to me for free where I could spend it wherever I want without thinking about it twice.

So while it was cute for an elder sister to buy baby gifts for soon-to-arrive baby, I don't find this to be a good idea. Specially since they let a child go to the market with cash in hand. I am not a parent yet. So the parents will be able to tell me if this is something they will do with a 8 years old.


PRECAP: The Ultrasound machine beeps with the sound of heartbeat.

The doctor tells Bhaiya: That's the heartbeat of your child.

Bhaiya is very happy.

Sonakshi is also happy.

Just then a ward boy comes and tells the doctor that there is a labour emergency.

The doctor says that she is coming.

She says: Mr. Dixit, I will be back shortly.

Bhaiya says: But...

Sonakshi looks shocked. 

The doctor leaves.

Bhaiya looks at the screen of the ultrasound monitor in awe and Sonakshi is looking at the screen worried.

Me: Uh-oh... Spaghetti Os... Does Sonakshi sees something being a medical professional that Bhaiya doesn't understand?

And by the way, which doctor just up and leaves leaving people attached to a machine and without any indication when she will be back? Seriously?

The ward boy said that it was a labour emergency. So if the labour lasts for over 24 hours, will Sonakshi and Bhaiya vegetate here like this for that duration?

CVs have truly screwed the medical profession completely.



NO RULES!!! YAY!!!

Comments

  1. The writers of this show is definitely hung over the 70s Bollywood movies. I mean the entire Dixit clan reeks of 70s melodrama. So Ishwari doesn't like bhaiya missing his sleep, but is OK with sonakshi taking such a huge risk. This show definitely has continuity issues. One moment everyone was worried abt pregnancy complications, now noone cares abt it. They could have given fond memories for the last episodes. But alas one can only hope.

    1. Yep. That's why I am wiping my memories after every episode this week. Because otherwise I will be ranting even on the last week. And forget Ishwari and Bhaiya. Asha is behaving as if her daughter is having a normal pregnancy. She doesn't even care that her daughter's life is at risk.
