Hi everyone! Do not worry, I am still here. As I mentioned I am just stuck in lab these days a lot. But nice to see you all around. I get home and get busy (or lazy to be completely honest) to get on the internet.

jps01,indi,Leesan,godblessall,pensink,vedi, please do not think I am imposing topics for discussions. Please feel free to change them anytime. I was just putting down whatever I could think of at the time of posting. In fact none of my posts are very well thought and I love to just talk with you all. Actually, I am kind of over BBAT now (but definitely with fond memories) and I come to this forum just to chat with you guys. Hope I am not offending anyone by saying this as I know you all still miss BBAT with a passion.

indi, jps01, you guys are right. There are so many scenes we see on Zee that seem like copy from BBAT and do not even look half convincing. In fact I also have seen two separate shows where the lead hugs in Guddu Shukla style in the railway station. There are so many things that I think exclusively belonged to BBAT that it looks completely fake when anyone else does it. On the other hand maybe we are all prejudiced. πŸ˜•

Coming to the topic which I suggested, I was thinking of small things that brought back memories. There are two things that come to my mind which seemed so real life like.

In July 6th episode when R enters G's house after the ceremonial rice kicking and goes to fill water in the jug, I loved it when the tap came off. This was such a common occurrence in my grandfather's house with the same kind of plastic tap in the back yard. Also I was laughing more when Guddu put the tap back and tied the cloth around to make it stop splashing. πŸ˜†That is exactly what we did until my dad would come to visit and fix the tap properly.

In the August 8th episode when G & R come back on the cycle rickshaw from the railway station, I was a bit nostalgic when I saw Guddu getting off the rickshaw and pushing it while the rickshaw driver was pulling the rickshaw. This is a very common practice and I remember my dad doing the same while myself and my baby brother sat with our mom on the rickshaw whenever there was any up incline in the road. I was 5 and we were living in Assam (coincidently the same place Nivedita's husband is from). In those days cycle rickshaw was our main mode of family transport. But coming to BBAT there was something which got to me in the scene and I do not think I saw it mentioned in the forum. When Guddu asked the driver to push and stared to drive the rickshaw, it looked very natural the way he crashed the rickshaw. Maybe driving it not as simple as it looks or maybe HM never practiced much on a tricycle as a kid! πŸ˜† But the funniest thing is the rickshaw driver did not seem amused but genuinely upset and did not look as though he was acting when he was checking the damage. I am more convinced of this because after that we saw a different rickshaw driver and they seem to have lost the original guy on the way. Just a funny observation.

I have to get back now; I just came to pop in for a second and ended up writing more than I should have been. There is more I can write on this but I hope I am not boring you guys to tears with stupid details. 😲I just love reading your thoughts however simplistic they are like mine as I have just posted. Love to all and keep posting all you can. Take care!πŸ˜ƒ

Hey United "G", especially Indi and Leesan, not going anywhere!!!πŸ˜› Just don't have much to post and I am still trying to find something common (except G himself πŸ˜†) to share with you guys!!

Tried finding photos to post and after I post them, the post is blank! So much for me and my lack of skills!!! But not giving up as yet!! I do apologize for the blank posts! πŸ˜•

And Leesan take care while you are out there!!! Missing you!!

Oh, have to share this with you guys, seems like all of Zee's shows now have a motorbike scene with the lead actress trying to imitate that famous scene in BBAT where Runjhun subtly put her hands on Guddu's shoulders - omg, remember how much emotions they both portrayed. Runjhun's thought process before she put her hands delicately on Guddu's shoulder and Guddu's expression at feeling her touch!😳 So much happened between them without saying a word!! Well, nothing and no one can replicate that scene and I mean it!!!

And I can hear Vanfan Di saying I am going off course again - sorry!!!πŸ˜‰

Just trying to cheer us up and keep the forum alive!!! Leesan, your girl not going anywhere and no, its not on its last leg - not when Jps, Leesan, Indi, Godblessall, Vanfan, Vedi, Pensink, et al are around!!!

Much love!!

Leesan, I am not anywhere either, and just could not think of anything to write so just read and leave.
But now that motorbike scene is being discussed, the one mentioned by Jps01 is the first time when she is going to meet her in-laws. But a similar scene when the M&Ms had influenced Runjhun so much that she was hesitating to put her hands on his shoulders when they were going to inaugrate their second store, that scene was also portrayed so well each emotion was so well portrayed. They had such awesome on screen chemistry that their eyes and face expression said everything. True no one can ever replicate Guddu and Runjhun and their acting.
Hope all are doing good!
Have a Great day my dear forum freinds, missing you all!!
Lots of love and a Big hug!!

Greetings "G" Company girls!! Still a long way from home but still so close to my forum friends!! Sooo glad that we are all still here and doing our utmost to stay in touch and keep the forum going!!πŸ‘

Loving all the posts!! Van...a classic!! Thanks ever so much for sharing such beautiful memories with us, so funny and touching!!

Have been racking my brain for something, anything...but keep coming up with a blank! The best I can do is compare the stomach ache scenario between R and G. G asked Amma for a home made remedy to relieve R's tummy ache. My parents were always believers in modern medicine and so were always reluctant to try anything remotely considered to be old fashioned. My Venezuelan Grandma had other ideas!! She was a strong believer in home made medicines and would always have some alternative remedy for all of our aches and pains!! Whenever we were visiting, we were sure to get a full dose of something or the other, including ginger tea or some citrus peel "tea" or herbal concoction to ease some discomfort or other ailment !! My father would mutter "bush medicine" under his breath!!

Needless to say our parents were never too happy, and neither were we!!
Mi abuela had a " cure" for every childhood ailment, a literal " plaster for every sore!" and nothing my mother said could have convinced her otherwise!! I remember those days fondly , and now I even drink ginger tea sometimes just because I like it ... And in honor of my grandmother!!

Have to run, please hang in there, and please keep posting!! Just love hearing from each and every one of you!!

Oh Vanfan Di, I don't think you are imposing topics for our discussions! Sometimes we get carried away with just the mention of a certain G, so I always try to steer back to topic on hand πŸ˜‰. And I also come here to chat about anything BBAT and of course, you guys! Don't worry, you are not offending anyone! I actually look forward to reading your posts are they are highly educational and so insightful! πŸ˜ƒ

BBAT is, and was a class by itself and no one can even come close!!πŸ˜›

I guess the only topic I can discuss is "G", other than that, I am blank (I can hear the laughter out there!!)😳 Have pity on me please!!

Much Love!!!

Heelllo G Girls! How've u all been?
Apologies for my loong absence, things are a little hectic over here and I'm a little cut off from the virtual world right now. Again, apologies.

I see tho that u guys kicked off the topic and then came back to our fav resort - Guddu Shukla ! πŸ˜† Hardly Surprising.

I'll try to drop a comment as often as possible but it's goin to take me at least 2 months to get back to my former forum self.
Have already missed out on ALOT and luks lyke I'll be missing more.

Van, Leesan, Indi, Jay, Peninski, Godblessall and the othhers πŸ‘ Keep the forum (and the Guddu) fire on. Will miss you all.

Lots of Love and Happy Days ! πŸ€—

Hi Girls ... Happy Friday (it's a Black Friday in case you haven't noticed). Good to see so many of us "G" girls here!

Van didi ... please don't feel that you are imposing anything on us! We need you here ... you keep the forum going with your interesting views and suggestions... what would we do without you😊!!!

Anyway, just a quick one on the "BBAT reminders" ... Whenever I saw Runjhun rubbing her Amma's feet with oil, I remembered by grandmother ... I used to rub her feet with oil every night ... Also, like R, I used to take her food to her while she sat in her favourite chair. As a child, I used to think that was why people had grandchildren ... to rub them and fetch and carry (LOL!!). The love between R and her Amma also brought back sweet memories of my grandmother ... R's desire to always please every one in the family reminded me of myself (actually I still try to please everybody); however, the difference was that I was loved and cherished by all, even one sly uncle whom Vishnu Pandey reminded me of.

One of the nasty reminders though was when Vishnu Pandey mortgaged Pandey Niwas ... my very successful professional uncle who had migrated, returned home and tried to "steal" the family's home from my grandparents. He felt that they loved the grandchildren too much and grandchildren should not inherit it. He tried to trick my grandparents, but my grandmother a simple housewife, and unlike R's amma, was a determined lady who fought him all the way... needless to say, my uncle lost the battle!!! When I saw those scenes regarding Pandey Niwas, I wondered if all Indians were like that ... it must be the DNA (LOL!!!). No offense anyone!!! Just joking!!!

Anyway, must go now! Later!

Have a nice day Girls!!!

@ Indi, enjoyed your DNA comparison! LOL, they still do have some things in common, regardless of where they are on the planet!!

That brings me to the famous motorcycle, during college this guy had taken a liking to me and of course he was in another college. So at lunchtime, he would try to follow me around but because of my strict upbringing, I totally ignored him. Imagine if my parents found out what would happen to me!! I really never thought of him as a boyfriend but one day I did not see him, and his friend came up to me and said that he had an accident and was in the hospital. His leg was broken and I did not see him for a long time until during my finals, he showed up on a crutch and offered me a letter. I had a friend with me, took the letter and tore it up. Today, I wished I had seen what he had written, but now its all history!!😳 LOL, I can see Indi and Leesan grinning widely here, now for the backlash!! So the Guddu's motorcycle scene does bring back those memories!😳

Hello all, just wanted to wish you an enjoyable weekend!!

G posted a photo of himself (looks like in a bar), saying "time to have fun"!! Well, we do wish him lots of fun!! And of course yours truly, could not post it here!


Much love!

@jps01...LOL!!!! Aha!!! So Jay, that explains the hankering for G on his bike!! Trying to relive and compensate for the past!!! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜†!!! Hmmm...and that also explains why you get so worked up anytime I mention being on the back of a bike, leaving you on the elephant ,horse or whatever beast of burden!!! Well Jay, who would have thunk it ?!
Well, all things considered, I will try to be a little more understanding in my comments re G and his bike, maybe even reconsider sharing ...who knows?!πŸ˜‰!! After all, a friend in need is a friend indeed, right Ggirls?! Not making any promises, but will reconsider!!πŸ˜›

@indi...thanks for sharing your childhood memories re your grandmother! She sounds like a strong and special lady, you are so lucky to have had her in your life, but I guess you know that already!!

Unfortunately,due to my father's job as well as geography,I did not spend enough time with my grandparents. We moved around a lot, but thankfully we got to spend a lot of time with our parents, even though our upbringing was somewhat unorthodox!! Hmmm...I guess just like me!!πŸ˜‰

To the rest of the Super "G" company, where are you?? Looking forward to hearing from you, and soon!! Please keep posting!!
