Suprabhat Bhagininno! 🌷🌄🌺🌼🌷🌼
Thank God for small mercies that the last 20 seconds of the episode really made sense 😅 Warna Maine toh mind bana hi liya tha boycott ka 😂😂
So the carrot 🥕🥕 has been delivered -- now let's eat it.
'Sai spills the truth' as the episode description read. Thank God for small mercies. I would say Sai spashthly states the fact: "Pulkit sir aur Devi tai ki ek beti hai"... The screen froze and so did Virat and we'll hear only tomorrow (hopefully there's no one chup chup ke baatein sun na wale experts lurking outside the couple's bedroom) but it's at least a step in the right direction. I wasn't convinced with "bhool hi gayi" because how can a child be 'by the way' kind of information. That is actually the most crucial fact of the entire matter.
The information about the presence of a child should definitely change Virat's approach to the subject -- it is impossible that Bhavani wouldn't have known and he should ponder.
The navra baiko scene had Dr Sai Joshi making the exact diagnosis of what ails the Chakram niwasis -- Kaku ki baat ko patthar ki lakeer maan liya jaata hai... That is the raison d'etre for most people in that house. Anyone who raises questions is silenced or condemned if not silenced. Why do so many family patriarchs and matriarchs get away with bad decisions and even worse ways to cover up their indignation -- because the generations have been conditioned to believe that questioning the intentions of 'elders' is blasphemous for they cannot be 'wrong'.
It didn't take Sai courage or even curiosity to find out the truth actually -- it was a fresh pair of eyes that helped Sai see the rot in the house. The fact that Sai did not enter the house as a 'bahu' who had to win over the household made a lot of difference. Because there was no 'interest', not even in the context of staying there forever, it made it a lot easier for her to raise questions and challenge the power. But it was through understanding and trust built over the time that Devyani shared her story with Sai. It is surprising to an extent that despite being closest to Devyani and even being the one with a decent level of intuitive skills, Ashwini never found out the truth or believed the story? Because, so far, no one has questioned Bhavani.
And that's the kind of allegiance she expects from everyone -- anyone who wants to be in her good books must hand over complete authority of their living existence to Bhavani. If you deviate from that and are not even worthy of being displayed as a trophy of the family's image, you are doomed. But Sai's voice has turned into an echo now -- there are many slowly finding their voice.
Virat's gratitude for Sai for doing what no one else did for Devyani was well placed but will he seriously follow the free advice -- "Kabhi bhi Kisi par aankh bandh Karke bharosa Nahi Karna Chahiye"...
Sometimes, it's not just the blind trust we have in someone who lets us down but also our trust in someone who actually doesn't mean to let us down but is misled to actually believe they are doing it for the good. Asking questions always helps search for another perspective.
But Patralekha cannot be counted among those who are misled. The interaction Bhavani was interesting -- Patralekha was indeed uncomfortable with the thought that there was a child in the picture. She almost appeared as if she would be disgusted at more information being given out -- she even asked the right questions: Why are you opposed to the wedding if they are already married? Do you know where the child is?
Patralekha, in the interaction, seemed like she could hear the voice of her conscience -- "Main Virat ko bolungi kya?" In the voice of her conscience, "Aap mujhse chahti kya hain?', she knows that the truth cannot be pulled down without denying it. The only way to do this would be to 'lie' and refute that which is true. Patralekha's discomfort and her hesitation in accepting Bhavani's invite was a good thing to see. It was also actually interesting that Bhavani did not lie to Patralekha in telling the story -- she could have manipulated her into agreeing to help by giving false spins to the story to turn Pulkit into a monster but Bhavani stated that the facts -- right from the presence of the child to the fact that it was the separation from the newborn that pushed Devyani into the state of trauma to telling her how the 'image' of the family was the only reason why she couldn't accept the marriage and decided to go to the extreme length to save the family's 'reputation' and the involvement of Ninad and Omkar (it's still not clear if the two of them also believed that the child was dead and drove Pulkit away or do they know about the child being sent to an 'orphanage') -- if they were party to separating a living child from the mother they can't have redemption at all -- never.
As Didi was searching for a reason to silence the feeble voice of her conscience and the reason walked in: Sai. In that moment, she returned to the self she has become - the torch bearer of Bhavani's misdeeds. The sight of Sai can instantly turn Patralekha into the venom spewing snake -- exactly the person Bhavani wants her to be for her benefit and so 'tum hi ho jo izzat mitti mein Milne se bacha Sakti ho' dum has been filled... But vahini perhaps knows that this deed is not going to get her any brownies with Virat. It won't be long before she will realise that this could, of course, be her chance to drive them apart - she hasn't thought about it yet but "main dekhti hoon main kya Kar Sakti hoon".
Wasn't it funny that of all the people in the house Sai would be sent to fetch the BA-MA Kakus for the puja? 😳 Why didn't the usual suspect Karishma come for the same? Ye Ashwini bhi, doesn't leave some chances to rub salt on wounds 😂 but of course Sai heard nothing in that moment as Vahini claimed -- not even the part about Bhavani not knowing about Harini.
What was the ado about letting Devyani sit for the puja? 🙄😐 What kind of belief and faith in God do these Chavans display when they don't even have the nerve to have one of their family members sit for the puja. But it came as a comic relief. The scene was obviously also meant to remind Patralekha who she should be spending the night of Jaap with -- Bhavani 😂😂 jiske liye usne vrat rakha hai and jiske Saath uska rishta gehra hota jaa raha hai..
Actually, it was inexplicable why Vahini wanted to sit in the middle of the couples ; she obviously wasn't trying to sit next to Virat by design so to say, but it so happened and Ashwini was quick to taunt -- I would say today it was needed from Ashwini because vahini would have clearly come up with a smart excuse to get her seat if Ashwini had only requested.
Of course, even after all this, no one thought of bringing Devyani to the puja except Sai. It has been so evident all the while when Devyani has been locked up and never allowed to participate in the happy moments of the family -- how did anyone expect her to even get better by being in isolation? What kind of blind following this is where no one uses common sense --oh I forget. Common sense is the most uncommon item in Chavan niwas 🤦🙆
The moment when Virat goes over to Devyani's side and encourages her to join the puja (Der Aaye durust Aaye) was a tender one. In that moment, it was evident to Virat the kind of intimidation Bhavani uses with Devyani. But ultimately, Devyani is slowly overcoming her fear. Of course, Devyani's words are ominous -- main tujhe tere Pati se alag kaise Kar Sakti hoon? Main tum dono ke beech mein Kyun baithun?
And Ashwini can't help exchange a glance with Patralekha. 😅
Mansi's presence in this week's episode is more shocking than her two dialogues and three head nods 😂 ye ab tak gayi Nahi wapas gayab land mein? But it was nice to see her truly coming out in support of Devyani. Makes me wonder why she doesn't open her mouth to tell her susheel bahu to conduct herself better 😒 Mansi seems least interested in her own bahu...
The 'Sai Ka hi Saath de rahe ho' dialogue is so boring. Didi needs to up her skills now. As she can see it is working only in one way- in annoying her imaginary Husband, who's definitely lowered his expectations from her. But honest confession is that I am loving Mohit's sass with Badi Vahini more than waiting for Virat to tell her anything 😂😂.Mohit really frustrates vahini and she doesn't know what to say. It's the perfect setting 😆😆
But Virat's "let's talk about the issue at hand" was quite an expression 😅 isse jyada he cannot open his mouth in front of Vahini -- he immediately has flashes of her forever ready suitcase and the subsequent blame on Baiko for beizzati that would never happen 😅-- vahini ki delusional beizzati ka Aalam toh aisa hai ki Woh bolti bhi khud hi hai aur uski beizzati bhi khud hi ho jaati hai 😂
Mujhe toh Mohit ke punch hi better lagne lage Hain. At least there is someone to give Virat a run for his money, literally 😛
Totally ignoring Makad Sena reactions in this scene -- worthless dharti par bojh.
The other moment of the day was of course the 'hand holding' and the spilling over guilt. It was a beautiful scene between the navra baiko. Virat dwelling on the impact his mistake had on Sai -- she understood in the same moment (it was just the previous night in their land 😅 so understandably it's still raw). Sai's reaction was reassuring... "Acchi baat ke liye haath pakadna allowed hai, aisi bhi manai Nahi hai..." 🤩 Bolo, baiko ne khade khade Chavan Saheb ko pass bhi banake de diya. He might want to use it soon in the coming days 😜
But Virat was obviously overwhelmed in that moment and couldn't live it as much -- in a matter of two days, he's dealt with the feeling of failing as a man to his woman and then a brother to his sister. "Kaash Maine poocha hota..."
Of course, it could have probably changed the life of the poor girl much earlier but every opportunity that arrives in time is a chance to correct mistakes and create new goals or add happy memories. This is the chance when everyone who missed the signs can do it for Devyani in their own ways and also truly repent the shortcomings to be able to move on and live guilt free.
Guilt occurs when one transgresses the moral system one believes in on purpose in the moment when one wants one-upmanship and regret is when you know you've caused someone damage by action or inaction unintentionally -- Virat's guilt as well as regret is well presented and it should definitely be a base for not losing control again when in a similar situation. Feeling guilty means you are ready to make amends and that's indeed a welcome sign for the navra baiko in the days to come.
One can't change what one repents -- because the time has always passed... One can only offer penance and be better for tomorrow. In case of Devyani, the regret Virat feels is natural but is should serve as a lesson for what lies in front of him-- kaash poocha hota... It didn't happen and what happened cannot be changed. Time cannot be turned back. There is an opportunity to change things from here on and it should be taken but what about the regret that will soon hit if the spashth words are not conveyed to the 'wife' who's turned into his dearest one -- Virat should know it can end in "kaash Bola hota"... 😒
The conversation must continue tomorrow and the grand reveal of Harini... At least something to look forward to. It will now be interesting to see on what ground will the Kaku gang orchestrate the grand misunderstanding. Hopefully creativity will include logic as well😅
Just to add: it was a relief to the eyes to see the husband wife ironing their costume change 😅 I was almost going to forget that there are more colours than white (and two shades of desi gulab in someone's bun🤦🤦) that the eyes can recognise 😑😆 how long can they wear the same clothes ? Oh sorry, sorry, how long does their 'day' last? In Chakram niwas cosmos, it's 7 days of human life 🙄🥴 and yes, good to see that Virat irons his own uniform 😀
(Again, how badly edited the hand holding scene was with two different poses without continuity that ruined the charm. At one point it felt as if Virat was thinking of raising his right hand too but it was just a bad shot selected)
********
Have you found it hard to forgive yourself for your mistakes? Keeping a grudge with self never helps. Guilt must be used constructively to repair what has been damaged. By living in guilty emotions and not forgiving self, one becomes typically irrational as the failures ferment in the mind space. It's not the same thing as shame or eventually regret when the moment to make amends turns into a distant lost opportunity.
Kuch Bolna hai toh bolo, Kuch poochna hai to poocho...
Kuchh meri suno, kuchh apni kaho
Ho paas toh aise chup na raho...
Ek pyaala ☕☕☕☕☕ aur 🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵 bhi add Kar lo... Pyaar Ka mausum beetne mat do... Zamaane ko jeetne mat do...
When we have the warmest arms around us 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 and love to warm our hearts ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ wo Kaunsi Jung hai Jo hum jeet Nahi Sakte?
Khush raho, apni Hasi ki hifazat Karne ke liye ladhte raho...
