Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone... I totally forgot that today is Monday since it's a holiday. Updating is in progress...
EPISODE: The episode starts with Bhaiya and Sonakshi sleeping with Shubh between them. Shubh is upside down and kicking Bhaiya on the face.
Sonakshi wakes up and says: Shubh is kicking. Soha also used to do the same.
Bhaiya: Means the experience I missed out on that time, I am experiencing now because of him.
Bhaiya picks up Shubh and lies him down the right way.
Bhaiya and Sonakshi keep getting messages.
Bhaiya wonders: Why are we getting so many messages?
Sonakshi: So annoying. I am putting my phone on silent.
They again lie down.
Bhaiya gets another message. He wonders: What is this?
Then he checks the notification: 30 messages?
Sonakshi is also surprised: 30 messages?
She also checks her phone: 40?
Bhaiya is shocked.
Sonakshi: This is about a video.
Bhaiya: Which video?
Sonakshi: I got the link.
Bhaiya also checks his phone: Is this the same link?
Bhaiya plays the video and it's the link of Sonakshi's thanks speech at the party the night before.
Bhaiya and Sonakshi smile.
Bhaiya says: Oh wow. Someone uploaded the video of Dr. Sonakshi Dixit's award ceremony. Not bad. You became a celebrity. Famous.
Sonakshi: Yes, but you also became famous. Celebrity superdad.
Bhaiya: But I was already that.
Sonakshi: Yes yes. That's enough. But who uploaded the video?
Bhaiya: Who cares? And wow... So many views and look how many likes are there.
Sonakshi nods her head: And also dislikes.
Bhaiya: Okay, let's read the comments. It will be fun.
"This is exactly what I needed today", "That's the best partnership, wow"
Then he scrolls down a bit more to reach the trolls and looks at Sonakshi.
Me: Bhaiya, the price of fame is that there will be people who admire you and there will be people who will try to drag you down to their level.
Internet is famous for its trolls. All the chauvinists, sexists, perverts, assholes, jerks just come to the net to take out their life's frustration on others hiding behind the anonymity.
If you want peace of mind, then remember, the people who have nothing better to do except spout venom hiding behind anonymous id, must be pathetic losers in real life. And honestly, who gives a damn about losers? You live your life.
Downstairs, Ishwari is talking to Buaji on the phone and trying to defend Bhaiya: Buaji, Dev is just... It's only for few days... Sonakshi is just... Okay Buaji I am hanging up. You are not listening to me. I just wanted to tell you that what Sonakshi said it didn't mean... No no, nothing like that. Everything is fine.
Here tensed Radha also gets a phone call. She says to herself: Enough is enough. I don't want to hear anymore rings. I will switch off the cell phone.
She switches off her phone.
Ishwari also finishes her phone call: Yes, Buaji. I am apologizing to you on behalf of the children.
At Bose house, everyone is on phone.
Bijoy: Everyone is driving me crazy.
Ronita: Every minute someone or other is calling. I can't talk to anyone anymore.
Sourav: Doesn't anyone have any work to do? They just want to sit at home and gossip?
Bijoy: If we don't pick up the phone, people will misunderstand naa...
At Dixit house, Radha tells Ishwari: Jiji, I am very nervous. I am feeling as if it was my board exam and I failed. The relatives who never called me in their life are all calling me now.
Ishwari says: Bhabhi, what can I tell you...
Radha: What will you say? Those who had to say something, said it already.
Ishwari jumps when her phone rings again.
Radha: The people of the society will think that we haven't raised our children right. Oh God...
Just then Ishwari's phone and landline ring together. Ishwari looks helpless.
At Bose house, Asha gets a call: It's Madhu Didi. I don't think she is calling to talk about this.
She picks up the phone.
Bijoy also gets a call and he picks up...
Madhu Didi: Asha, heard the news on the tv. I am very sorry. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
The guy calling Bijoy asks: Dada, I called to ask if Dev came to live in your home.
Bijoy gets angry: No he didn't come. Okay?
He hangs the phone.
Asha also says: Didi, I will talk to you later.
She also hangs the phone.
Me: One thing I don't understand why are they behaving as if Bhaiya and Sonakshi released a sex tape or someone caught committing a fraud and lost their job? How is it anyone else's business how they decide to live their life?
And why is Ishwari apologizing to Buaji and who the eff is Buaji to demand an apology for how Bhaiya and Sonakshi choose to live their life?
And why would anyone give their condolences as if Bhaiya has committed some heinous crime or how is it their business whether Bhaiya lives with Boses or not?
Asha always has lecture ready for everyone else. Why doesn't she tell Madhu Didi: Sorry for what? My daughter and son-in-law are multi millionaires. They have two beautiful kids and are very happy together. How many millions do you have in your bank?
Bijoy was always in your face. Why can't Bijoy say: Whether Dev comes to stay in our house or not, how is that your business? Did he come to stay in your house?
Also, don't know about other communities, but in Bengali community (at least the educated urban section like Boses) this step will be appreciated because Bengalis are ultra liberal and strict believer in equality.
A community which didn't harass Sonakshi when she was a divorced single mother, why would they harass Bose family for Bhaiya's decision to step back in his career?
They didn't even bat an eye to see Dev in his in-laws house standing with Sonakshi at Sourav's wedding.
Also, Bijoy and Asha didn't give a damn about the society when Sonakshi came back divorced and pregnant, suddenly this particular decision is a bigger deal than a divorced pregnant daughter?
CVs, at least keep some consistency of the plot.
Bijoy says: Now everyone got a chance to talk. They don't want to achieve anything in life. Losers...
Ronita: What was the need for Sona Di to say this in front of everyone? Who understands these kind of thing?
Asha: She was among her office colleagues. She must not have said it deliberately. People just want excuse to gossip. We don't have to give explanation to anyone. Let people think what they want to. We won't pick up anyone's phone. Nonsense.
Me: One minute. Did Sonakshi abuse someone in her speech? Made a racist or sexist comment which is offensive to anyone? She praised her husband, her partner, why is that such an offence that she should have kept it to herself?
Ishwari is also upset: I got so many calls since this morning that my head is ringing. I will feel better after I have tea.
Radha: That's it, Jiji. My phone is also ringing since this morning. Everyone is asking about the video.
Me: Again, when Bhaiya snatched Sonakshi's (at that time, his ex) award from her in national television, the phone didn't ring off the hook, but suddenly Bhaiya's decision is such a big concern for everyone?
Again, CVs maintain some consistency, will you?
Bhaiya comes to the kitchen: Arre Maa? Why are you making tea? Let me make it.
Sonakshi also comes there.
Ishwari: Dev, what have you done? What have you both done?
Bhaiya is surprised: What did I do? Did you also see the video?
Ishwari: We had to. We are getting so many calls, what can I tell you.
Bhaiya: Maa, you don't have to answer to anyone. I am managing my home. Is there anything wrong in this?
Ishwari: Dev, there isn't anything wrong. But still, whatever happening at home, it's not necessary for outsiders to know about it
Sonakshi stammers: Maa, I am sorry. I just said thank you to Dev because...
Bhaiya stops her: One minute Sonakshi. Maa, those people who have such low mentality, we should not have anything to do with them. If I go to work tomorrow, will people say that I am not a good husband? Just because the woman is going to work, this is double standard naa?
Me: I always had problems with how easily Sonakshi crumble under negative opinions.
If tomorrow someone criticizes her relationship with Bhaiya, will she stop having relationship with him?
Bhaiya is supporting her at every step of the way and fighting for her dreams and here she is busy buttering up Ishwari.
Why the eff is she apologizing for giving Bhaiya his due credit?
Ishwari: Are you done? The society we live in, don't think like you. We have to answer them too.
She again leaves in a huff.
Radha and Sonakshi call after her. Sonakshi is about to go after her.
Bhaiya stops Sonakshi: No Sonakshi. Stop.
Sonakshi: Dev, I will go and make Maa understand.
Bhaiya: No. Let her be. She will understand herself.
Sonakshi whines: Dev but...
Bhaiya: I will talk to Maa. Relax
Sonakshi is worried.
Me: First of all, Ishwari had to get over her bratty behaviour of stalking off when she doesn't have anything worthwhile to say but still wants to get her way.
Secondly, Bhaiya did no wrong. Why should he run after Ishwari pacifying her?
Thirdly, Sonakshi now you are the biggest Maata's girl now. Bhaiya is no longer Mamma's boy. Just like before, even when you made no mistake, you are behaving like Bhaiya used to and running after Maata to say anything, promise anything to make her be happy with you again.
So shall we then now call you spineless since you are giving such an amazing demonstration of the same?
Soha is playing video games in a tablet: Here. No here. Here...
Golu is waiting his turn: Look you have troll after you. You are about to lose. My chance is coming.
Soha lost.
Golu: Yay!!! It's my turn now.
Soha: No. You disturbed me. That's why I lost. Let me play one more time naa, please.
Golu tugs on the tablet: But we decided that we will take turns. Don't cheat.
Soha tugs the tablet too: Golu please.
Golu: I am also saying please naa. Please...
Golu finally gets the tablet. Soha tries another way: Golu, I am sick naa. You will treat your sister like this?
Golu: Don't play the sick and sister card. How will you play if you are sick?
Soha: Because I can't do anything else. Please...
Soha gets upset.
Golu hands over the tablet: Here, take it Soha. You are sick naa. So play.
Soha: No. Now it's your turn. So you play.
Golu: No you play.
Soha: But it's not fair, Golu.
Golu: You are sick. That's why it's fair. You first, you first, you first.
Soha smiles and takes the tablet: Thank you, Golu. You are my best brother.
Golu also smiles back: And you are my best sister.
Me: That was an adorable Brother and Sister scene. I loved it. Golu and Soha have a very strong bond.
Sonakshi in her room checking something. Looks like a diary.
Bhaiya comes there and checks on Shubh: Look, he is sleeping so peacefully. Sleep son, you are still young. When he grows up, he will get so stressed by internet videos that he won't be able to sleep.
He starts folding Shubh's clothes.
Me: This reminded me of season one when Bhaiya had said that he didn't know how to fold a handkerchief when Sonakshi wanted him to help her in house chores. Today he is willingly folding his son's laundry.
This just proves that anyone can change with the right motivation. Bhaiya has improved the most since season one. No one had grown as a person as much as him.
Sonakshi looks guilty.
Bhaiya asks: What happened, Sonakshi?
Sonakshi: Dev, I am sorry.
Bhaiya: What for?
Sonakshi: Whatever I said, I said genuinely. I just wanted to share my feelings. I wanted to say how much you have supported me. But everything went wrong. Because of me, your reputation got ruined.
Bhaiya: Come on, Sonakshi. Why do you think that because of you my reputation got ruined? Do you think anyone can harm homestay dad, Dev Dixit? No one can even harm one hair on my head. Sonakshi, somehow I learned from you how to be strong. I don't care about any of these. If the society thinks that my reputation will get ruined by doing this, then screw society.
Me (Standing ovation): Yay... Bhaiya, you have impressed the hell out of me in this season. You are absolutely right. Who the eff is society to challenge a man's right to care for his children?
Dogs need fake confidence to appear as Tiger. Tigers know who they are. They don't need fake courage and pretense to be who they are.
Some men overdo macho attitude and social stereotypes to prove their manhood. Real men don't need to prove anything to anyone.
Sonakshi: You really don't care about this? You know you can share anything with me.
Bhaiya gets up and comes to Sonakshi: That's why I tell you everything in my heart. Truly Sonakshi. May be some husbands are insecure about their manhood. But in my mind, real manhood is in taking care of one's family, managing one's children, supporting one's wife. And I am very happy with my new job. Very content. I don't care about all this. Look, honestly speaking, after doing all this I realized what you had gone through. I have now more respect for women.
Sonakshi doesn't say anything.
Me: Bhaiya, you echoed my thoughts exactly. Real men don't need to prove their manhood by adhering to stereotypes. Insecure men do. You are a real man who loves a woman as a man should love a woman. Kudos!!!
Bhaiya teases: If you want more lectures than this, then I will need extra fees. Don't you have an office to go to? You will get late. So go.
Sonakshi smiles: I wish every woman gets a husband like you.
Bhaiya: I thought you will say, every woman should get you.
Sonakshi: Shut up.
Bhaiya laughs: Okay go.
Sonakshi leaves.
Bhaiya says: Get some vegetables on your way home.
Sonakshi: Shut up.
Me: What shut up? She is going out anyway. Might as well grab some groceries on the way home.
By the way, there's an app my husband and I use for groceries which syncs on real time. So say I pick up something on the way home. Then I remove that item from the list. So when my husband sees the list, he won't see the item I picked up. It works very well for us so that we don't pick up the same items twice...
Sonakshi is thinking about her past while on the way to work.
She remembers how she used to book meetings while changing Soha's diaper.
Flashback:
Sona is changing Soha's diaper and books her meeting.
Asha comes there: Let me help you naa. You want to do everything yourself.
Sonakshi: Maa, I will do it. I like to work. Isn't it, Soha?
Asha: Sonakshi, don't you think you are missing something right now?
Sonakshi: No, absolutely not. I am Soha's Mummy and I am living with my Mummy. And my father is typical father types. What else do I need?
Then second flashback when Sonakshi wrote in one of her emails that she says she doesn't need anyone. And she takes care of everything while her parents takes care of her. But she misses Bhaiya every day. Without him, their life is not complete.
Flashback ends...
Sonakshi thinks: Today you filled the emptiness of the past seven years in Soha and my life...
Me: Agreed. No one should have any complaint against Bhaiya anymore. He corrected every mistakes he committed. But Sonakshi, when will you correct yours? When will you give the same support to Bhaiya like he gives you?
Golu says to Soha: You can download new games. I know the trick.
He is showing Soha how to download games...
Bhaiya comes with breakfast: Oye hello, Trickster Baba... Have your breakfast quickly. There's only a little time left to go to school.
He hands over bread to both of them. He smiles seeing them eating.
He says: Suhaana, finish this and then drink your milk. Okay?
Suhaana: I will finish everything, Papa.
Bhaiya smiles: Good girl. Suhaana, are you okay? You don't have pain in your tummy anymore, naa?
Golu: BigCha, Suhaana is fine. We can take her to school with us too. I get bored without her.
Bhaiya: Golu, we can't do this. Actually the doctor said to get her to rest for three days. That's why no school.
Suhaana says: Papa, don't read comments on the video.
Bhaiya: How did you know about them?
Suhaana: I saw them in my tab.
Bhaiya: Suhaana, this is not good. Didn't I tell you not to use the tab?
Suhaana: Sorry Papa.
Me: Bhaiya, get parental lock app and lock up the apps you don't want the kids to use. That way they won't go where they should not be going.
Bhaiya asks Golu to come.
Golu says: The bag is very heavy.
Bhaiya: Oh really? You carry the bag every day, how did it get heavy only today? Okay come on.
He picks up the bag and gets surprised: This is really heavy.
Golu says: No one believes me in this house.
Bhaiya: Okay, I will carry it.
They say bye to Suhaana and leave.
Me: Cute scene. But more of a filler.
Bhaiya and Golu reach school.
Bhaiya: Wow. Today we reached the school on time.
The guard smiles and nods.
Golu waves and goes in.
Bhaiya is about to leave when some dads sneer: He used to compete with us in business, now he is going to compete with our wives in managing house.
Bhaiya turns back and says: First of all, I am not competing with anyone.
Secondly, a woman's job is not easy. It's harder to manage a house than a company.
If you don't believe me, then try doing it yourselves.
Some mothers are listening.
One of the dads say: We have no wish to do women's work.
Another dad says: We like mouse in our hands, not flour.
Bhaiya: If not by choice, but in desperation you have to do it one day, you will realize what it takes. Women can manage both business and home. But men do one thing, that's more than enough of their capabilities.
One of the dad says: What do you want to say? We also should sit at home leaving our work like you? We know how to do our work and let women do theirs.
Bhaiya: I am just saying that women can do business and manage home. But even if ten men come together, they can't manage a home.
The men don't like that statement. The women are impressed.
Me: I'd disagree here Bhaiya. One man can manage house as well as women. It doesn't need ten men. It only needs a will to make it happen.
Women manage home because they know that someone has to do it. And often it's them.
Men don't because they know that someone WILL do it even if they don't.
If women refused to manage home, desperation would have pushed men to manage home.
Don't believe me? Look at American history.
In '60s, women used to be the housewives and men used to work. In short, they followed traditional roles.
Then World War happened and all adult men had to go fight the war.
So women had to do everything traditionally men used to do.
They had problem in the beginning but they learned because there was no other way. Someone had to do it.
When men came back after the war, the scenario had changed. They could no longer tell the women that they can't do something. They already proved that they can.
There were some resistance when men tried to reclaim their traditional roles and tried to put women back in the kitchen.
But women refused and held their ground. Eventually men realised that they now have to share equal chores around the house because women are also working outside.
Some men embraced the new roles willingly, some did because there was no option since women refused to do it all.
Today in North America, men can manage house as efficiently as women can and they are both happier to contribute to their family equally financially and emotionally.
But saying that even ten men can't do a women's job is like saying even ten women can't do a man's job.
Both are sexist statements and not at all true. The opposite of patriarchy is not matriarchy. The opposite of patriarchy is equality.
Sonakshi comes to work and she sees Sourabh coming to her.
She ignores him and sits down.
Sourav signals an employee. She approaches Sonakshi: Ma'am...
Sonakshi says: If you want to talk about the video, I don't want to talk about it.
Another employee brings a bouquet to Sonakshi and says: Congratulations ma'am...
Then one by one everyone gives her a flower and congratulates her.
Sonakshi says thank you to them.
She looks at Sourav and asks: Dada...
Sourav says: What Dada? There isn't one but two reasons to celebrate. One, our clients signed the contract and two, the face of our company, Sonakshi Bose has become internet sensation.
Everyone claps.
Sonakshi smiles and feels shy: You saw the video?
Sourav: Of course, we all saw it and we are all very proud of you. Of you and Dev.
Sonakshi is shocked: Really?
Sourav: Yes. What do you think? We all came here to criticize you?
Her employees says: Yesterday you and sir have inspired us. Let people say what they want. It was a proud day for us.
Me: This looks so strange to me about Sonakshi. The video was posted. Ishwari gave a negative reaction, she is falling all over herself to apologize for it. Her employees gave positive reaction, she is all shy and blushing cheeks.
How can someone have such conflicted reaction from the same incident? How can someone's attitude change towards the same incident based on other's opinion?
Why isn't she apologizing and saying sorry to her employees for that video?
And if she thinks she did nothing wrong, then why was she apologizing to Ishwari?
Either that deed was wrong or it wasn't. If it was something wrong, then continue to apologize regardless of people's onion and if it was something right, then who the eff apologises without any reason?
Why does she need constant validation from others when the only person she should be concerned about is her and her husband?
Sorry. But that's the sign of an insecure woman who needs validation from others because she sees her life through the eyes of others.
Sonakshi: Really? So if our project has been approved, I can't take the credit of it alone. The whole team must take credit for it.
Sourav says: She is right. Let's do one thing. Let's make a video of this and put it on the internet. We will get famous also.
Sonakshi pretends to be angry. Everyone laughs.
Bhaiya is at school at a school meeting. He looks at everyone who is talking to each other.
One of the guy says he is representing the school. He wants to know what's the problem.
One of the parent says: Our problem is that the teachers are not paying attention to the children. Every year their percentages are falling lower.
Another parent says: Whose responsibility is that? We have to take this complaint to the principal.
All parents agree
The teacher says: Look, calm down. It's wrong to say that teachers are not doing their job. It's our job to pay attention to the children. And we also monitor our teaching standards regularly. But the children will also have to work themselves.
One of the parents say: You are blaming the children?
Every other parents start complaining.
Bhaiya is listening calmly. He didn't say anything yet.
The teacher says: Please listen to me. We didn't mean it the way you took.
One of the parent tell Bhaiya: Mr. Dixit, you give funds to the school. You do something. Your children also study in this school. Otherwise your money will go down the drain and so will our kids. I think we should go to the principal.
All the parents also agree.
Bhaiya says: Look, we have come here for the best interests of our children. And as far as this matter is concerned, I agree with sir.
The teachers are happy.
The parents are disappointed.
Bhaiya: If our children are scoring low, we can't just blame the teachers alone whose job is to teach children. But the children still have to learn themselves.
One of the parent says: What are you saying, Mr. Dixit?
Bhaiya says: Think about this. All children come to the school together. The teacher teaches everyone in the class the same whether they stand first or last. When children are interested in something, they study well and get good marks. When the children lose interest, they don't study and get low marks. We should pay attention to our children. We can't just rely on the teachers alone.
I personally don't force my children for marks. Because putting pressure on the children for marks is not good for them. Just getting good marks isn't everything. Learning is important. So I am sorry, I can't be part of this discussion.
Bhaiya leaves from there.
Me: Bhaiya is right. A parent can't forget their part once they send their children to school. The teacher teaches for 7-8 hours. But whether the child learned anything or has any trouble understanding what was taught that day, is the parents' responsibility to check.
However, not all children can learn at the same pace. So it's also important to know how they learn best and making sure correct teaching method is followed.
I, for example, only has have visual and cognitive memory.
That means I learn by seeing or doing. I can't learn by listening to lectures because my memory doesn't retain knowledge that way.
On the other hand, there are some children who learn best by listening because they have auditory memory.
Here in Canada, on the first day of school, every teacher asks children to take Myers-Briggs test (It's available online for free) to understand how they learn best. The result of the test determines the teaching method so that every child gets a fair chance to succeed.
The parent says: We thought he'd agree with us. But he started to talk completely different. God knows what's in his mentality.
The rest of the parents agree.
Me: Let me explain to you sir what's not in his mentality. Being a sheep and following majority of the opinion blindly is not in his mentality. Unlike others who are nodding your head whether they understand the problem or not because they want to be part of the group, he gave his honest opinion which you asked for. If you wanted an yes man, you should have either hired one or waited for Sonakshi to show up.
Dev Dixit is not a sheep.
P.S. And just in case you are wondering about your mentality, it's called herd or mob mentality. Look it up.
Sonakshi calls home. Ishwari picks the receiver and then hangs up.
Then she calls Ishwari's cell.
Ishwari says to herself: Let it be. I have no desire to answer anymore questions. Let it ring.
Sonakshi wonders why isn't Ishwari picking up her call. She decides to call DK.
DK picks up the phone.
She asks why Ishwari isn't picking up the phone.
DK says she was getting a lot of calls so she isn't picking up the phone.
Sonakshi asks DK to give the phone to Bhaiya.
DK says: Bhaiya went to drop the kids to school. He hasn't returned yet.
Sonakshi: What? He hasn't come back yet? But why?
DK: I don't know.
Sonakshi says okay and hangs up the phone.
She gets worried and thinks: Why didn't Dev return from the school yet?
Me: Have you guys seen the movie "Agnishakshi" with Monisha Koirala and Nana Patekar? In that movie, Nana Patekar used to schedule a time for his wife as how long it takes her to do a certain chore outside the house (say grocery shopping). And for any reason it takes even one minute longer, he used to grill her like a criminal.
Now Sonakshi is not a psycho. She just wants to make sure Bhaiya gives his attendance of every second of the day.
Had a man did that and asked a woman to inform him what is she up to every second of her time, we'd say the he doesn't trust his wife, he is a tyrant, he is encroaching on her personal time. You know, like we said when Bhaiya downloaded a stalking app on Sonakshi's phone which offended her a lot. She felt suffocated. Do you guys recall?
Yes, so Sonakshi, pray tell, how should Bhaiya feel if every time he is not where you think he should be, you start calling up people asking about his location. And you don't even have the excuse that you fear for his life or losing him. No. Your problem is that while you are happy to bask in your employees' praise for being an inspiration, you didn't reveal that
1. You were willing to give up your career
2. You claimed that Bhaiya's stubborn nature forced you to agree to his condition.
3. You have never ever had an ounce of trust in his ability
4. And you never stand by him unless someone else first appreciates his efforts. If someone doesn't appreciate him, you also leave his side for him to fight alone...
5. What Bhaiya does every second of the day, he doesn't have to tell you. Unless you are willing to do the same. But sorry. That makes you feel that your freedom is being threatened.
There are traits that I hate. Hypocrisy is at the top of it.
You, my dear, is the biggest hypocrite in the show right now...
PRECAP: Everyone is at the dining table. Elena comes with Golu and asks Bhaiya: Dev Bhai, what happened in the school today?
Bhaiya says to Golu: Golu, sit and have food. You must be hungry.
Golu happily runs to have food.
Elena says: Dev Bhai, you can't ignore my question.
Everyone looks at Bhaiya worried.
Me: Ummm... Elena, actually he can ignore your questions. Because first of all, had you been present along with every other parents, you'd have known exactly what happened in school today.
Secondly, he is not your hired nanny whom you can charge when you don't even bother looking after your own child.
Thirdly, you can always ask the other parents what happened in the school and take necessary actions. He is not your puppet to dance to your tunes.
And Sonakshi, Elena is charging your husband as if he is her hired nanny. Don't you think you should speak up in your husband's honour. Oh but I forgot. You are waiting for someone else to defend your husband first.
NO RULES!!! YAY!!!
EPISODE: The episode starts with Bhaiya and Sonakshi sleeping with Shubh between them. Shubh is upside down and kicking Bhaiya on the face.
Sonakshi wakes up and says: Shubh is kicking. Soha also used to do the same.
Bhaiya: Means the experience I missed out on that time, I am experiencing now because of him.
Bhaiya picks up Shubh and lies him down the right way.
Bhaiya and Sonakshi keep getting messages.
Bhaiya wonders: Why are we getting so many messages?
Sonakshi: So annoying. I am putting my phone on silent.
They again lie down.
Bhaiya gets another message. He wonders: What is this?
Then he checks the notification: 30 messages?
Sonakshi is also surprised: 30 messages?
She also checks her phone: 40?
Bhaiya is shocked.
Sonakshi: This is about a video.
Bhaiya: Which video?
Sonakshi: I got the link.
Bhaiya also checks his phone: Is this the same link?
Bhaiya plays the video and it's the link of Sonakshi's thanks speech at the party the night before.
Bhaiya and Sonakshi smile.
Bhaiya says: Oh wow. Someone uploaded the video of Dr. Sonakshi Dixit's award ceremony. Not bad. You became a celebrity. Famous.
Sonakshi: Yes, but you also became famous. Celebrity superdad.
Bhaiya: But I was already that.
Sonakshi: Yes yes. That's enough. But who uploaded the video?
Bhaiya: Who cares? And wow... So many views and look how many likes are there.
Sonakshi nods her head: And also dislikes.
Bhaiya: Okay, let's read the comments. It will be fun.
"This is exactly what I needed today", "That's the best partnership, wow"
Then he scrolls down a bit more to reach the trolls and looks at Sonakshi.
Me: Bhaiya, the price of fame is that there will be people who admire you and there will be people who will try to drag you down to their level.
Internet is famous for its trolls. All the chauvinists, sexists, perverts, assholes, jerks just come to the net to take out their life's frustration on others hiding behind the anonymity.
If you want peace of mind, then remember, the people who have nothing better to do except spout venom hiding behind anonymous id, must be pathetic losers in real life. And honestly, who gives a damn about losers? You live your life.
Downstairs, Ishwari is talking to Buaji on the phone and trying to defend Bhaiya: Buaji, Dev is just... It's only for few days... Sonakshi is just... Okay Buaji I am hanging up. You are not listening to me. I just wanted to tell you that what Sonakshi said it didn't mean... No no, nothing like that. Everything is fine.
Here tensed Radha also gets a phone call. She says to herself: Enough is enough. I don't want to hear anymore rings. I will switch off the cell phone.
She switches off her phone.
Ishwari also finishes her phone call: Yes, Buaji. I am apologizing to you on behalf of the children.
At Bose house, everyone is on phone.
Bijoy: Everyone is driving me crazy.
Ronita: Every minute someone or other is calling. I can't talk to anyone anymore.
Sourav: Doesn't anyone have any work to do? They just want to sit at home and gossip?
Bijoy: If we don't pick up the phone, people will misunderstand naa...
At Dixit house, Radha tells Ishwari: Jiji, I am very nervous. I am feeling as if it was my board exam and I failed. The relatives who never called me in their life are all calling me now.
Ishwari says: Bhabhi, what can I tell you...
Radha: What will you say? Those who had to say something, said it already.
Ishwari jumps when her phone rings again.
Radha: The people of the society will think that we haven't raised our children right. Oh God...
Just then Ishwari's phone and landline ring together. Ishwari looks helpless.
At Bose house, Asha gets a call: It's Madhu Didi. I don't think she is calling to talk about this.
She picks up the phone.
Bijoy also gets a call and he picks up...
Madhu Didi: Asha, heard the news on the tv. I am very sorry. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
The guy calling Bijoy asks: Dada, I called to ask if Dev came to live in your home.
Bijoy gets angry: No he didn't come. Okay?
He hangs the phone.
Asha also says: Didi, I will talk to you later.
She also hangs the phone.
Me: One thing I don't understand why are they behaving as if Bhaiya and Sonakshi released a sex tape or someone caught committing a fraud and lost their job? How is it anyone else's business how they decide to live their life?
And why is Ishwari apologizing to Buaji and who the eff is Buaji to demand an apology for how Bhaiya and Sonakshi choose to live their life?
And why would anyone give their condolences as if Bhaiya has committed some heinous crime or how is it their business whether Bhaiya lives with Boses or not?
Asha always has lecture ready for everyone else. Why doesn't she tell Madhu Didi: Sorry for what? My daughter and son-in-law are multi millionaires. They have two beautiful kids and are very happy together. How many millions do you have in your bank?
Bijoy was always in your face. Why can't Bijoy say: Whether Dev comes to stay in our house or not, how is that your business? Did he come to stay in your house?
Also, don't know about other communities, but in Bengali community (at least the educated urban section like Boses) this step will be appreciated because Bengalis are ultra liberal and strict believer in equality.
A community which didn't harass Sonakshi when she was a divorced single mother, why would they harass Bose family for Bhaiya's decision to step back in his career?
They didn't even bat an eye to see Dev in his in-laws house standing with Sonakshi at Sourav's wedding.
Also, Bijoy and Asha didn't give a damn about the society when Sonakshi came back divorced and pregnant, suddenly this particular decision is a bigger deal than a divorced pregnant daughter?
CVs, at least keep some consistency of the plot.
Bijoy says: Now everyone got a chance to talk. They don't want to achieve anything in life. Losers...
Ronita: What was the need for Sona Di to say this in front of everyone? Who understands these kind of thing?
Asha: She was among her office colleagues. She must not have said it deliberately. People just want excuse to gossip. We don't have to give explanation to anyone. Let people think what they want to. We won't pick up anyone's phone. Nonsense.
Me: One minute. Did Sonakshi abuse someone in her speech? Made a racist or sexist comment which is offensive to anyone? She praised her husband, her partner, why is that such an offence that she should have kept it to herself?
Ishwari is also upset: I got so many calls since this morning that my head is ringing. I will feel better after I have tea.
Radha: That's it, Jiji. My phone is also ringing since this morning. Everyone is asking about the video.
Me: Again, when Bhaiya snatched Sonakshi's (at that time, his ex) award from her in national television, the phone didn't ring off the hook, but suddenly Bhaiya's decision is such a big concern for everyone?
Again, CVs maintain some consistency, will you?
Bhaiya comes to the kitchen: Arre Maa? Why are you making tea? Let me make it.
Sonakshi also comes there.
Ishwari: Dev, what have you done? What have you both done?
Bhaiya is surprised: What did I do? Did you also see the video?
Ishwari: We had to. We are getting so many calls, what can I tell you.
Bhaiya: Maa, you don't have to answer to anyone. I am managing my home. Is there anything wrong in this?
Ishwari: Dev, there isn't anything wrong. But still, whatever happening at home, it's not necessary for outsiders to know about it
Sonakshi stammers: Maa, I am sorry. I just said thank you to Dev because...
Bhaiya stops her: One minute Sonakshi. Maa, those people who have such low mentality, we should not have anything to do with them. If I go to work tomorrow, will people say that I am not a good husband? Just because the woman is going to work, this is double standard naa?
Me: I always had problems with how easily Sonakshi crumble under negative opinions.
If tomorrow someone criticizes her relationship with Bhaiya, will she stop having relationship with him?
Bhaiya is supporting her at every step of the way and fighting for her dreams and here she is busy buttering up Ishwari.
Why the eff is she apologizing for giving Bhaiya his due credit?
Ishwari: Are you done? The society we live in, don't think like you. We have to answer them too.
She again leaves in a huff.
Radha and Sonakshi call after her. Sonakshi is about to go after her.
Bhaiya stops Sonakshi: No Sonakshi. Stop.
Sonakshi: Dev, I will go and make Maa understand.
Bhaiya: No. Let her be. She will understand herself.
Sonakshi whines: Dev but...
Bhaiya: I will talk to Maa. Relax
Sonakshi is worried.
Me: First of all, Ishwari had to get over her bratty behaviour of stalking off when she doesn't have anything worthwhile to say but still wants to get her way.
Secondly, Bhaiya did no wrong. Why should he run after Ishwari pacifying her?
Thirdly, Sonakshi now you are the biggest Maata's girl now. Bhaiya is no longer Mamma's boy. Just like before, even when you made no mistake, you are behaving like Bhaiya used to and running after Maata to say anything, promise anything to make her be happy with you again.
So shall we then now call you spineless since you are giving such an amazing demonstration of the same?
Soha is playing video games in a tablet: Here. No here. Here...
Golu is waiting his turn: Look you have troll after you. You are about to lose. My chance is coming.
Soha lost.
Golu: Yay!!! It's my turn now.
Soha: No. You disturbed me. That's why I lost. Let me play one more time naa, please.
Golu tugs on the tablet: But we decided that we will take turns. Don't cheat.
Soha tugs the tablet too: Golu please.
Golu: I am also saying please naa. Please...
Golu finally gets the tablet. Soha tries another way: Golu, I am sick naa. You will treat your sister like this?
Golu: Don't play the sick and sister card. How will you play if you are sick?
Soha: Because I can't do anything else. Please...
Soha gets upset.
Golu hands over the tablet: Here, take it Soha. You are sick naa. So play.
Soha: No. Now it's your turn. So you play.
Golu: No you play.
Soha: But it's not fair, Golu.
Golu: You are sick. That's why it's fair. You first, you first, you first.
Soha smiles and takes the tablet: Thank you, Golu. You are my best brother.
Golu also smiles back: And you are my best sister.
Me: That was an adorable Brother and Sister scene. I loved it. Golu and Soha have a very strong bond.
Sonakshi in her room checking something. Looks like a diary.
Bhaiya comes there and checks on Shubh: Look, he is sleeping so peacefully. Sleep son, you are still young. When he grows up, he will get so stressed by internet videos that he won't be able to sleep.
He starts folding Shubh's clothes.
Me: This reminded me of season one when Bhaiya had said that he didn't know how to fold a handkerchief when Sonakshi wanted him to help her in house chores. Today he is willingly folding his son's laundry.
This just proves that anyone can change with the right motivation. Bhaiya has improved the most since season one. No one had grown as a person as much as him.
Sonakshi looks guilty.
Bhaiya asks: What happened, Sonakshi?
Sonakshi: Dev, I am sorry.
Bhaiya: What for?
Sonakshi: Whatever I said, I said genuinely. I just wanted to share my feelings. I wanted to say how much you have supported me. But everything went wrong. Because of me, your reputation got ruined.
Bhaiya: Come on, Sonakshi. Why do you think that because of you my reputation got ruined? Do you think anyone can harm homestay dad, Dev Dixit? No one can even harm one hair on my head. Sonakshi, somehow I learned from you how to be strong. I don't care about any of these. If the society thinks that my reputation will get ruined by doing this, then screw society.
Me (Standing ovation): Yay... Bhaiya, you have impressed the hell out of me in this season. You are absolutely right. Who the eff is society to challenge a man's right to care for his children?
Dogs need fake confidence to appear as Tiger. Tigers know who they are. They don't need fake courage and pretense to be who they are.
Some men overdo macho attitude and social stereotypes to prove their manhood. Real men don't need to prove anything to anyone.
Sonakshi: You really don't care about this? You know you can share anything with me.
Bhaiya gets up and comes to Sonakshi: That's why I tell you everything in my heart. Truly Sonakshi. May be some husbands are insecure about their manhood. But in my mind, real manhood is in taking care of one's family, managing one's children, supporting one's wife. And I am very happy with my new job. Very content. I don't care about all this. Look, honestly speaking, after doing all this I realized what you had gone through. I have now more respect for women.
Sonakshi doesn't say anything.
Me: Bhaiya, you echoed my thoughts exactly. Real men don't need to prove their manhood by adhering to stereotypes. Insecure men do. You are a real man who loves a woman as a man should love a woman. Kudos!!!
Bhaiya teases: If you want more lectures than this, then I will need extra fees. Don't you have an office to go to? You will get late. So go.
Sonakshi smiles: I wish every woman gets a husband like you.
Bhaiya: I thought you will say, every woman should get you.
Sonakshi: Shut up.
Bhaiya laughs: Okay go.
Sonakshi leaves.
Bhaiya says: Get some vegetables on your way home.
Sonakshi: Shut up.
Me: What shut up? She is going out anyway. Might as well grab some groceries on the way home.
By the way, there's an app my husband and I use for groceries which syncs on real time. So say I pick up something on the way home. Then I remove that item from the list. So when my husband sees the list, he won't see the item I picked up. It works very well for us so that we don't pick up the same items twice...
Sonakshi is thinking about her past while on the way to work.
She remembers how she used to book meetings while changing Soha's diaper.
Flashback:
Sona is changing Soha's diaper and books her meeting.
Asha comes there: Let me help you naa. You want to do everything yourself.
Sonakshi: Maa, I will do it. I like to work. Isn't it, Soha?
Asha: Sonakshi, don't you think you are missing something right now?
Sonakshi: No, absolutely not. I am Soha's Mummy and I am living with my Mummy. And my father is typical father types. What else do I need?
Then second flashback when Sonakshi wrote in one of her emails that she says she doesn't need anyone. And she takes care of everything while her parents takes care of her. But she misses Bhaiya every day. Without him, their life is not complete.
Flashback ends...
Sonakshi thinks: Today you filled the emptiness of the past seven years in Soha and my life...
Me: Agreed. No one should have any complaint against Bhaiya anymore. He corrected every mistakes he committed. But Sonakshi, when will you correct yours? When will you give the same support to Bhaiya like he gives you?
Golu says to Soha: You can download new games. I know the trick.
He is showing Soha how to download games...
Bhaiya comes with breakfast: Oye hello, Trickster Baba... Have your breakfast quickly. There's only a little time left to go to school.
He hands over bread to both of them. He smiles seeing them eating.
He says: Suhaana, finish this and then drink your milk. Okay?
Suhaana: I will finish everything, Papa.
Bhaiya smiles: Good girl. Suhaana, are you okay? You don't have pain in your tummy anymore, naa?
Golu: BigCha, Suhaana is fine. We can take her to school with us too. I get bored without her.
Bhaiya: Golu, we can't do this. Actually the doctor said to get her to rest for three days. That's why no school.
Suhaana says: Papa, don't read comments on the video.
Bhaiya: How did you know about them?
Suhaana: I saw them in my tab.
Bhaiya: Suhaana, this is not good. Didn't I tell you not to use the tab?
Suhaana: Sorry Papa.
Me: Bhaiya, get parental lock app and lock up the apps you don't want the kids to use. That way they won't go where they should not be going.
Bhaiya asks Golu to come.
Golu says: The bag is very heavy.
Bhaiya: Oh really? You carry the bag every day, how did it get heavy only today? Okay come on.
He picks up the bag and gets surprised: This is really heavy.
Golu says: No one believes me in this house.
Bhaiya: Okay, I will carry it.
They say bye to Suhaana and leave.
Me: Cute scene. But more of a filler.
Bhaiya and Golu reach school.
Bhaiya: Wow. Today we reached the school on time.
The guard smiles and nods.
Golu waves and goes in.
Bhaiya is about to leave when some dads sneer: He used to compete with us in business, now he is going to compete with our wives in managing house.
Bhaiya turns back and says: First of all, I am not competing with anyone.
Secondly, a woman's job is not easy. It's harder to manage a house than a company.
If you don't believe me, then try doing it yourselves.
Some mothers are listening.
One of the dads say: We have no wish to do women's work.
Another dad says: We like mouse in our hands, not flour.
Bhaiya: If not by choice, but in desperation you have to do it one day, you will realize what it takes. Women can manage both business and home. But men do one thing, that's more than enough of their capabilities.
One of the dad says: What do you want to say? We also should sit at home leaving our work like you? We know how to do our work and let women do theirs.
Bhaiya: I am just saying that women can do business and manage home. But even if ten men come together, they can't manage a home.
The men don't like that statement. The women are impressed.
Me: I'd disagree here Bhaiya. One man can manage house as well as women. It doesn't need ten men. It only needs a will to make it happen.
Women manage home because they know that someone has to do it. And often it's them.
Men don't because they know that someone WILL do it even if they don't.
If women refused to manage home, desperation would have pushed men to manage home.
Don't believe me? Look at American history.
In '60s, women used to be the housewives and men used to work. In short, they followed traditional roles.
Then World War happened and all adult men had to go fight the war.
So women had to do everything traditionally men used to do.
They had problem in the beginning but they learned because there was no other way. Someone had to do it.
When men came back after the war, the scenario had changed. They could no longer tell the women that they can't do something. They already proved that they can.
There were some resistance when men tried to reclaim their traditional roles and tried to put women back in the kitchen.
But women refused and held their ground. Eventually men realised that they now have to share equal chores around the house because women are also working outside.
Some men embraced the new roles willingly, some did because there was no option since women refused to do it all.
Today in North America, men can manage house as efficiently as women can and they are both happier to contribute to their family equally financially and emotionally.
But saying that even ten men can't do a women's job is like saying even ten women can't do a man's job.
Both are sexist statements and not at all true. The opposite of patriarchy is not matriarchy. The opposite of patriarchy is equality.
Sonakshi comes to work and she sees Sourabh coming to her.
She ignores him and sits down.
Sourav signals an employee. She approaches Sonakshi: Ma'am...
Sonakshi says: If you want to talk about the video, I don't want to talk about it.
Another employee brings a bouquet to Sonakshi and says: Congratulations ma'am...
Then one by one everyone gives her a flower and congratulates her.
Sonakshi says thank you to them.
She looks at Sourav and asks: Dada...
Sourav says: What Dada? There isn't one but two reasons to celebrate. One, our clients signed the contract and two, the face of our company, Sonakshi Bose has become internet sensation.
Everyone claps.
Sonakshi smiles and feels shy: You saw the video?
Sourav: Of course, we all saw it and we are all very proud of you. Of you and Dev.
Sonakshi is shocked: Really?
Sourav: Yes. What do you think? We all came here to criticize you?
Her employees says: Yesterday you and sir have inspired us. Let people say what they want. It was a proud day for us.
Me: This looks so strange to me about Sonakshi. The video was posted. Ishwari gave a negative reaction, she is falling all over herself to apologize for it. Her employees gave positive reaction, she is all shy and blushing cheeks.
How can someone have such conflicted reaction from the same incident? How can someone's attitude change towards the same incident based on other's opinion?
Why isn't she apologizing and saying sorry to her employees for that video?
And if she thinks she did nothing wrong, then why was she apologizing to Ishwari?
Either that deed was wrong or it wasn't. If it was something wrong, then continue to apologize regardless of people's onion and if it was something right, then who the eff apologises without any reason?
Why does she need constant validation from others when the only person she should be concerned about is her and her husband?
Sorry. But that's the sign of an insecure woman who needs validation from others because she sees her life through the eyes of others.
Sonakshi: Really? So if our project has been approved, I can't take the credit of it alone. The whole team must take credit for it.
Sourav says: She is right. Let's do one thing. Let's make a video of this and put it on the internet. We will get famous also.
Sonakshi pretends to be angry. Everyone laughs.
Bhaiya is at school at a school meeting. He looks at everyone who is talking to each other.
One of the guy says he is representing the school. He wants to know what's the problem.
One of the parent says: Our problem is that the teachers are not paying attention to the children. Every year their percentages are falling lower.
Another parent says: Whose responsibility is that? We have to take this complaint to the principal.
All parents agree
The teacher says: Look, calm down. It's wrong to say that teachers are not doing their job. It's our job to pay attention to the children. And we also monitor our teaching standards regularly. But the children will also have to work themselves.
One of the parents say: You are blaming the children?
Every other parents start complaining.
Bhaiya is listening calmly. He didn't say anything yet.
The teacher says: Please listen to me. We didn't mean it the way you took.
One of the parent tell Bhaiya: Mr. Dixit, you give funds to the school. You do something. Your children also study in this school. Otherwise your money will go down the drain and so will our kids. I think we should go to the principal.
All the parents also agree.
Bhaiya says: Look, we have come here for the best interests of our children. And as far as this matter is concerned, I agree with sir.
The teachers are happy.
The parents are disappointed.
Bhaiya: If our children are scoring low, we can't just blame the teachers alone whose job is to teach children. But the children still have to learn themselves.
One of the parent says: What are you saying, Mr. Dixit?
Bhaiya says: Think about this. All children come to the school together. The teacher teaches everyone in the class the same whether they stand first or last. When children are interested in something, they study well and get good marks. When the children lose interest, they don't study and get low marks. We should pay attention to our children. We can't just rely on the teachers alone.
I personally don't force my children for marks. Because putting pressure on the children for marks is not good for them. Just getting good marks isn't everything. Learning is important. So I am sorry, I can't be part of this discussion.
Bhaiya leaves from there.
Me: Bhaiya is right. A parent can't forget their part once they send their children to school. The teacher teaches for 7-8 hours. But whether the child learned anything or has any trouble understanding what was taught that day, is the parents' responsibility to check.
However, not all children can learn at the same pace. So it's also important to know how they learn best and making sure correct teaching method is followed.
I, for example, only has have visual and cognitive memory.
That means I learn by seeing or doing. I can't learn by listening to lectures because my memory doesn't retain knowledge that way.
On the other hand, there are some children who learn best by listening because they have auditory memory.
Here in Canada, on the first day of school, every teacher asks children to take Myers-Briggs test (It's available online for free) to understand how they learn best. The result of the test determines the teaching method so that every child gets a fair chance to succeed.
The parent says: We thought he'd agree with us. But he started to talk completely different. God knows what's in his mentality.
The rest of the parents agree.
Me: Let me explain to you sir what's not in his mentality. Being a sheep and following majority of the opinion blindly is not in his mentality. Unlike others who are nodding your head whether they understand the problem or not because they want to be part of the group, he gave his honest opinion which you asked for. If you wanted an yes man, you should have either hired one or waited for Sonakshi to show up.
Dev Dixit is not a sheep.
P.S. And just in case you are wondering about your mentality, it's called herd or mob mentality. Look it up.
Sonakshi calls home. Ishwari picks the receiver and then hangs up.
Then she calls Ishwari's cell.
Ishwari says to herself: Let it be. I have no desire to answer anymore questions. Let it ring.
Sonakshi wonders why isn't Ishwari picking up her call. She decides to call DK.
DK picks up the phone.
She asks why Ishwari isn't picking up the phone.
DK says she was getting a lot of calls so she isn't picking up the phone.
Sonakshi asks DK to give the phone to Bhaiya.
DK says: Bhaiya went to drop the kids to school. He hasn't returned yet.
Sonakshi: What? He hasn't come back yet? But why?
DK: I don't know.
Sonakshi says okay and hangs up the phone.
She gets worried and thinks: Why didn't Dev return from the school yet?
Me: Have you guys seen the movie "Agnishakshi" with Monisha Koirala and Nana Patekar? In that movie, Nana Patekar used to schedule a time for his wife as how long it takes her to do a certain chore outside the house (say grocery shopping). And for any reason it takes even one minute longer, he used to grill her like a criminal.
Now Sonakshi is not a psycho. She just wants to make sure Bhaiya gives his attendance of every second of the day.
Had a man did that and asked a woman to inform him what is she up to every second of her time, we'd say the he doesn't trust his wife, he is a tyrant, he is encroaching on her personal time. You know, like we said when Bhaiya downloaded a stalking app on Sonakshi's phone which offended her a lot. She felt suffocated. Do you guys recall?
Yes, so Sonakshi, pray tell, how should Bhaiya feel if every time he is not where you think he should be, you start calling up people asking about his location. And you don't even have the excuse that you fear for his life or losing him. No. Your problem is that while you are happy to bask in your employees' praise for being an inspiration, you didn't reveal that
1. You were willing to give up your career
2. You claimed that Bhaiya's stubborn nature forced you to agree to his condition.
3. You have never ever had an ounce of trust in his ability
4. And you never stand by him unless someone else first appreciates his efforts. If someone doesn't appreciate him, you also leave his side for him to fight alone...
5. What Bhaiya does every second of the day, he doesn't have to tell you. Unless you are willing to do the same. But sorry. That makes you feel that your freedom is being threatened.
There are traits that I hate. Hypocrisy is at the top of it.
You, my dear, is the biggest hypocrite in the show right now...
PRECAP: Everyone is at the dining table. Elena comes with Golu and asks Bhaiya: Dev Bhai, what happened in the school today?
Bhaiya says to Golu: Golu, sit and have food. You must be hungry.
Golu happily runs to have food.
Elena says: Dev Bhai, you can't ignore my question.
Everyone looks at Bhaiya worried.
Me: Ummm... Elena, actually he can ignore your questions. Because first of all, had you been present along with every other parents, you'd have known exactly what happened in school today.
Secondly, he is not your hired nanny whom you can charge when you don't even bother looking after your own child.
Thirdly, you can always ask the other parents what happened in the school and take necessary actions. He is not your puppet to dance to your tunes.
And Sonakshi, Elena is charging your husband as if he is her hired nanny. Don't you think you should speak up in your husband's honour. Oh but I forgot. You are waiting for someone else to defend your husband first.
NO RULES!!! YAY!!!
Waiting to read your updates.
ReplyDeleteLoved the episode. Suhana Golu bonding reminds me of Sona Saurabh bonding. Golu is gol gol like Saurabh. Dev and Sona scene was too good. Dev Dixit has become awesome. Elena has become too much selfish. How dare she question Dev about Golu?
Saurabh cheering up Sona was too good. Reminds me of how Boses always stood together as one family and supported each other when in need. I had felt bad when Dev's sisters left him by himself for 7 years when he needed them. But then realized Ishwari's parwarish never allowed the girls to take any decisions, Dixits never operated like a family. Ishwari & Dev were always one unit and rest of the family were a different unit.
I wanted to see Bose family group hug today :-(
Updated. Sorry for the late update. I was cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Elena is behaving as if she has hired a nanny who didn't do his job well. But what about Sonakshi? Why isn't she calling Elena out on her attitude towards her husband?
DeleteSaurabh used to be Sona's no. 1 cheerleader. But recently I found him to be insensitive and selfish. I am glad that he got over it.
Golu and Soha's bonding is amazing. They came a long way since they were against each other initially.
Bose family have become totally different in this season. Little things are bothering them when they never cared about anyone's opinion. I am not being able to relate to this Bose family who didn't even care what anyone thought about their divorced pregnant daughter.
Didn't knew that they celebrate Thanksgiving today in Canada.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you.
Just realized why today's thread heading is 'Happy Thanksgiving' :)
Yes. Today is Canadian Thanksgiving... Thank you. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Tia !
You've summed up everything !! When I saw the episode I couldn't make head & tail out of anything ! Why the hell was sonakshi apologizing for ?? & then it zeroed down to again the same person ! But above all I'm so happy with the way has evolved :)
Exactly. I just could not understand why in the first half Sonakshi apologized while in the second half she basked in the glory of the same action. She is so much like Asha that it's unbearable to me to watch. Everything about her is all about what others say or think. She decides whether to support her husband or not based on what others think about his action. Seriously?
DeleteHey T. So decided to venture in "you know where" and saw people aren't really happy with the butler husband and wife who wants to be Superwoman. Apparently sohas childhood would be destroyed and all...wow I wonder if same attitude happened with all successful women like Chanda kochar or Nita ambani who's husbands are also working unlike dev.
ReplyDeleteI seriously can't see head or tail of these arguments..nvm. happy thanksgivings. ππππWhat u cooking ??
I personally think that a successful woman raises children who pursuits excellence in life. Considering Bhaiya willingly wanted to step back and run the household, how is that anyone else's problem. Would a woman like if they are told what choices they should make?
DeleteMy problem is Sonakshi's attitude. It's hard to tell what she wants. Does she really want to be stay at home mom or she wants to have a career? She changes her stance based on who she is talking to.
When she is talking to Ishwari or Asha, she really wants to be a stay at home mom but only can't because of Bhaiya.
When people admires them and call them inspiration, then she really wanted to pursue the dream and Bhaiya made it happen. WTF?
About the dinner, I cooked Roasted Turkey Leg, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing and Sweet Corn. :)
