I have a Shivaji anecdote that fits Sai perfectly. Will share soon 😆

Cannot wait. I seriously wait for your posts on this Ghum IF, as I enjoy reading your perspective. ❤️

I like these small historical reference they keep throwing in between whether it is jiva shiva connection or the shiva sai connection

Yes, perhaps because they have a maharashtra connect in the team for obvious reasons but then these references are not so well known and not everyone will be able to immediately connect with it. But glad that it's there. Also, Tanaji had used monitor lizards (called ghorpad in Marathi) to scale the fort during their guerilla warfare because it was a tough climb for humans. Of course the computerized lizard shown in that episode was a miniature version that looked a hybrid of household lizard and monitor lizard. Can't get over how it was standing on its four feet and wagging its bushy tail 🤣

Yes, it did look like a young monitor lizard🤣

This singhad fort has also been used as a metaphor. The Maratha empire used it to stop invasion from Mughals and Britishers. It was one of the poignant places to keep a check on any foreign invasion in historical times.

Here two, it symbolizes Sai will built a tough wall around her so that no unwanted person can break her heart and play with her feelings. A strong Sai will be tough nut to crack for our Vada Cha van.

I cannot stop laughing at this one. This is so funny. Pretty sure even the creatives have not made the connection you gals have pointed out her. Chipkali, Sinhgadh..🤣

Your post and infact everyone's post on this forum are just amazing to read. After long day at work and kitchen... coming here and reading OS, FF, drabble, different perspectives is a stress bruster.

Absolutely. The reason why Shivaji wanted it so desperately was because it was strategic. In fac, Shivaji was trying to win it back after losing it in the Treaty of Purandar, where he had to pass on some of his most important forts to the Mughals after losing the Purandar fort in a battle in 1665 AD. He lost is as part of a "deal" and had to win it back for his own reasons by breaking the "deal". So, thanks to all the zabardasti wala connections, we are making here, i thought I'd add this too 😆

And Sunny (or Mohit) will be Tanaji, bringing in the chipkalis and also keeping the chhippkali (Lakhi) out 🤣
