Good evening Lovelies!🌅🌅
Did only I misread it as Mahaepisode? Or did all of us make the same mistake? It was supposed to be read as Maha-stupid-episode -- I mean what was the hype about. I thought it'd be at least 40 mins long 🙄🥴😑. But somehow I thoroughly enjoyed the episode but didn't get what was the need to call it "Maha"? It seemed like any other day's work in Chakram Niwas ... The only "maha" factor was Sai making Ninad and Bhavani bend to do some work...😅😆😜
I haven't laughed while watching an episode of this show in recent days as much as I did today. And I was watching it on a 2.5 hour flight and couldn't stop chuckling😅 -- the sofest I could laugh. At a couple of places, I actually let out a loud "Ha!" too 😂. Thankfully daughter was fast asleep 😃.
Sai, my dewdrop, turned into David from 'David and Goliath' 🦸🏋️. It made me wonder how we always cite the example of 'David' who killed 'Goliath' without fearing the giant and that too singe handedly -- by just using 5 stones. He refused the weapons that he was offered and said the stones would be enough. An army of men trying to bring down Goliath could not believe this little boy but he said: My faith is enough.
Sai is my David here. Like David, she actually has no business challenging the 'Goliaths' she is facing. We will keep wondering why this small, visibly weak and detached girl would stand a chance against this vicious family in winning what she has set out to conquer but her reward will be in her belief that the right will win, always. It's simple. A lot of people say David won because God 'intervened' and made David win. But if you read the story closely, you will understand that when David said, "My faith is enough", he did not refer to faithfulness in God but the faith in his own perseverence.
Isn't it true that everyone in that Team B (for Bhavani) believes that Sai's victory totally depends on Virat?
"Ye akeli hoti toh koi darr nahi tha... par pareshaani hai ki Hamara Virat bhi iski taraf hai", says Ninad.
"Virat ko kuch keh kar koi fayda nahi hai, kyunki wo bhi iski hi boli bolega," says Sonali.
"Virat toh poori tarah se iska ho chuka hai," says Mallika-e-Maturity - Thank you for accepting the truth 🙇🙋(Will come back to her later🤦)
But the truth is that Sai doesn't need Virat's intervention just like David did not need God's intervention. If she needed Virat, she would have included him in her mission right from the beginning. Him being by her side is an additional boost, of course. But even if he weren't party to it, she would have gone ahead and done exactly what she was convinced about. David was able to bring down Goliath because he had the right training, experience, and knowledge-- his skills and abilities, he had learned on his own from facing life head (of his extensive experience conquering beasts that were far bigger and more ferocious than him) on and it had given him the unexpected edge in the conflict.
The Chavans don't know the strength that Sai has. They have not seen the mettle she is made of -- it is evident but they do not have the courage to acknowledge the nerve she displays is not from her badtameezi but her 'faith' in her sense of justice. It is Sai's faith that propels her to fight without the fear of losing. Faith in God is different from the competence and confidence to show God what you can do -- God may or may not do things directly for you but you can definitely win your battles if you do what God would like and expect of you: and most certainly, one of the common teachings in all faiths is to follow the principles of justice.
Sai's motivation is her persistence to deliver justice. Once she has set a goal, she will not waver from it -- she might commit a mistake in achieving it, but she will not let it go. Sai knows the weakest point of the Chavans is their false pride -- the reason why Devyani is in the present state in the first place. And she pressed the right nerve. And yes, they know "jo main bolti hoon wo karne ki himmat bhi rakhti hoon"... Bhavani's eye roll in the beginning thinking it was an empty threat and the enraged yet pale face when Sai actually began calling out to the neighbours was a sight to see and Ninad holding out a hand to her almost imploring her to stop, while handing over the saree to Devyani with a 'sorry' was the icing on the sundae cake (pun intended). Dil ko sach mein thandak mili ... like a glass of cold taak on a scorching summer afternoon.. aahaa...
Delusional Didi ke mann ki baatein (pun not intended😅) will start coming out of her mouth very soon. How long can one hold on to the good books of an old hag in the family? She has no true love for the old woman. It is for a motive that she can't stop displaying her susheelta. The more that she sees her goal getting distant, the more she will begin to reveal herself. I find it so amusing that no one from the Makad Sena can open their mouth and defend her against anyone talking about Patralekha's obsession with Virat. It is almost as if it is so visible but everyone is latching on to the other for an ulterior motive -- Sai ko Virat se door karo.
Ninad spoke of it again today: "Jayegi to ye Sai"... and she was unfazed -- may be because Virat's "Main bhi jaunga" is fresh in her mind or because she does not really consider it as her loss to be leaving that house. I think it's the second -- she still doesn't feel she would lose anything by leaving 😟.
I laughed so hard and watched this few seconds on repeat when Ashwini said: "Ghar chhodh aap dono kahan jayenge?" Almost as if, "Oh, you guys are finally leaving together? Is it for the good, Please say it is. Good luck, have fun!"😂😂 Ninad, obviously, understood the taunt! It has to be the best dialogue of the day and then her, "Sai kahan roke rukti hai".. oh the smirk Ashwini had throughout the drama😏😏😏😜😝... I would really not care if Virat gets agitated seeing the tears of Pakaku for this 'beizzati'😒. Their beizzati hormones are always hot anyway --totally deserved it for the vile behaviour.
And wait, Bhavani calls her daughter "iss pagal ko" how many times? Not surprised but the audacity is of another level.🤐
So many of us discussed yesterday the motivation of Vahini's character and it is so evident that an aimless person can only have one aim -- go with the flow of the water, no matter what because there is no reason to not go with the flow. Her aim is her illusion and she, naturally, had no plan to begin with. She was not able to utter a word today -- not even her "Sai tumhari bakwaas" wala monotonous dialogue. I guess Devyani's immediate backing to Sai's statement was to shut her up but it seemed like she really didn't know what to say because "Mujhe fark nahi padta" is not a dialogue Vahini can say in this context. Her reaction to Devyani's taunt was funny and totally inexplicable.🤯🤫🤔 Kuch samajh Aaye toh mujhe bhi samajhna 😂
Of course, Sai's "Mere pati poori tarah se mere ho chuke hain toh aapko jalan kyun ho rahi hai... aapke mooh se aapke Pati ka naam toh kabhi nahi suna" was a whistle worthy dialogue...😙😙😙 And kissi wala bhi 😘😘
I loved the Soul Force Sisterhood in today's episode -- literally the first time when the four of them had their own moment in one frame😍🤩😍. It was such a heart melting scene when they put the saree over Devyani and made her feel the happiness that is awaiting her...
Ashwini, of course, the mother that she has been to Devyani would definitely feel the 'sunapan' as they say. It was such a poignant moment when Ashwini and Devyani shared that look in the mirror-- would Bhavani, eventually, ever realise the joys of human life and emotions that she has missed with her conceit and vanity?🥺🥺 This woman herself is so lonely in her vain hang ups...
I would like to say that the emotion Bhavani is feeling is actually genuine (from her pov) beyond doubt -- her contempt, her fear of loss of respect, her loss of power -- her rage is palpable. It is evident that 'image' comes first for Bhavani, over even the life of her own daughter. Bhavani is emotionally rigid and lacks the empathy for anyone else's feelings and is unaffected by situations that do not fit into her scope of "honour". The rigidity about the "unworthy spouse", the "disobeying child", the "idea of disrepute" is a common cause of estrangement in families -- some go to exterme lengths to 'preserve family respect'☹️
The highlight of the zillat arena scene was the eyelock between Sai and Bhavani after she picked up the gifts-- Bhavani almost had tears in her eyes: tears of rage, indignation and almost surrender. It is almost as if Bhavani knows she is not going to win this one with Sai -- the anxiety is because the Freaking Five are aware that Sai's faith is ingrained in the principle of justice. Susheel bahu's 'vaada' is only a consolation and hope but somewhere, the outcome has been accepted sa inevitable.
Sai's "Ab aap log tasalli se soch lijiye aap ye shaadi kaise rukwayenge" was so cheeky but well placed... I loved how Shivani even picked up Sai's college bag as they left the scene to check out the gifts.😍🤩🤩😍
So, the girl gang joined hands to convince Sai "Virat tumse pyaar karta hai"... Koi "Veeru" ko bhi toh dikhane ki koshish karega ya nahi? Why is this one-sided push only? Waise, Sai's flashbacks were a teaser to remind everyone that there is one more character in the show😂 I frankly didn't miss him. So hota toh the Five Little Monkeys would have never got the bump in their head 😅😅... But it is interesting that all the flashbacks she had of Virat were only of moments of 'care' about things that she likes -- just in the context of the sentence spoken by Devyani - the outing, the balloons, the alta rash scene, roses, the tea, the candy floss and the chaat dinner. She didn't have a tender expression while remembering it but a rather confused one -- because in her mind, she is in a dilemma. Why did she not remember his "jaane nahi doonga", "parivaar ka matlab zimmedari hota hai", "mujhse pyaar nahi karti ho?", "I am your family", the most recent "eklauti bahu and eklauta beta ghar se jayega..." or the moment when he actually pulled her back after she made him confess about the Aniket jasoosi? Those would have been 'romantic' things to remember but her state of mind is such a turmoil, as I elaborated yesterday and I don't want to repeat and send anyone to boredom on Sunday evening (Posting the link at the end again)
Is care the same as love? Especially, in the context of their relationship where care (khyaal rakhna) is a big part of the 'zimmedari' he has taken up. I would repeat what I said yesterday: Until her questions are answered by the horse's mouth, she will continue to see it only as "care and affection". By calling it 'love' and believing it to be, she knows she will hurt herself. Until he clears her "misunderstanding" by speaking the one half of the 'sach' that he had enough courage to go and tell Vahini, she is going to remain in this turmoil. She doesn't know if this is forever or not..
But, it is time that someone also makes Virat realise what Sai is going through -- why is she holding back. Both Ashwini and Sai know. But no one feels the need to speak to him -- or may be Ashwini will do that when she loses her calm after Sai's departure-- I am sure she will. Sai's care for Virat has not been shown as explicitly as Virat's because, ironically, between the two of them he is more expressive; also because he is the 'giver' out of the two and so in the higher position to be seen as the caring one but is Sai any less caring:
"taange tudwa kar jaaungi", "Aai ke bete ke liye alta lagaya", "Mere paas koi aur rasta nahi tha DIG sir ko phone karne ke alawa kyunki aapka phone bandh tha", "mere haath se khaana hai toh seedhe boliye, natak karne ki kya zaroorat hai?", "Aapne khaana kyun nahi khaya... unse kyun jhagda kiya?"
She doesn't show it overtly and she rejects his dosti offers -- but she deeply cares. He is the only one who is her own and she knows it. Only if he shows her the path that she can walk from hereon, she will gradually also begin walking it.

The precap is so hilarious: So essentially, Vahini calls up her Dir 🥴(who is back to his old hair parition that covers the right side of his brain -- which means his left side should be more open and exposed to penetration of thoughts -- left brain is said to be analytical and methodical, just saying😅😒😑) and asks him, "What if Pulkit is married?" and he says what she wants to hear, "Toh shaadi nahi hogi"...
And ting tong-- letter lands from: Sangeeta Deshpande😲😱😓😂🤣😂 Chavans ke pass CCTV toh Hoga Nahi to see that vahini dropped the letter there herself 🤪
It means that not just Virat and Sai but even the Freaking Five, including the chatur chhote Kaka and Kaku and the ex-army man haven't thought of doing some basic recee on Pulkit before even coming up with a stupid plan to spoil the wedding party. This is so hilarious! 😂 Thodi mehnat ki hoti toh Madhuri Deshpande ke naam se letter send karte... I know Sai would have jumped and said she's the sister, but well, would it have mattered because the misunderstanding script is anyway so botched up and unconvincing at least they could have used the character introduced... So essentially not just Harini but even Madhuri has left the writers baffled now.🥴🥴
Just giving the misunderstanding a pass as Ninad and Omkar have declared that Sai ghar se jaayegi... chalo let's see...
This week will decide whether it is time to withdraw the investment made in this sinking fund or hold on...💆💆
Points to ignore:
- Mama Mami haven't wanted to meet Harini. Can't digest this sautela vyavvhar...
- IPS and IPS ki wife hasn't found anything more about Pulkit (yes I know it's the same day but not even curious any more, are they?)
- Devyani hasn't been told her baby is alive. It might make her hysterical but is surprising her with the 8 year old a good idea?
- ACP went to work and got a haircut at work, he will be back in the evening with a makeover but he doesn't probe the sister's story even for curiosity sake? Will Devyani be in a condition to reach out if things indeed go wrong with Pulkit?

Sunday kaisa jaa raha hai...? Just travelled cities today and settling in... So, if you are a late coffee drinker like me this evening, sending across some cuppas ☕☕☕☕and of course chai pasand ho toh wo bhi mangwa lo🍵🍵🍵🍵
Baaki dher saara pyaar 💕💕💕💕💕💕aur hugs🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 as always...
Today's song for Sai:
Aye parinde yoon abke udakar tu
Ja jalaa sooraj ko ja ke aasman pe tu
Aye parinde bhar aisi udaanein tu
Har nazar yeh tujhse poochhe aag itni kyun
Dhool udaa jaake manzilon pe yoon
Ke in hawaon se teri yaari hai
Udd ja Ab teri baari hai....
Love,❤️J
