7,8,9,10 sep: big things, little things :-)

is it just me, or did everyone else roar their heads off with laughter watching the shows this week so far?? i mean, other than a couple of places where prem and heer came close to reminding me of prem-heer-are-one, the way this story is ''progressing'' by leaping and bounding, and most of the time leaping and bounding over logic and where these characters have been, is just howlarious!

no? just me? *feeling a leetle sheepish that i'm gonna be howling on my own. but hey, it's with laughter. and it's just a very leeetle sheepishly... * oh well... 😆

7 sep

* little thing: 🤣 glob talks and talks, and still does the exact opposite of what she says. how very prem-like!! 🤣yet another place where we see where prem gets his (bad) habits from! 🤣

i mean, how many times has she told the lawyer not to come to the house but meet outside of it? and yet! when it came to paying the lawyer, she had to have him come home, right??!

oh well. i mean, how else on earth could prem find out that his mother was behind this, right? *sigh* in the old days, boss prem used to go find things out. now he has to have everything come to him... *sigh*

* little thing:er... how many names does ganesh have? none of the characters ever referred to little god ganesh as ganesh/ganapathi did they? is there a different name that is used for ganesh among punjabis? i want to know...

* little thing: 🤣 man! 🤣 did anyone else die of laughter watching prem practically bounce back a mile when he ''ran'' into glob??! 🤣 you'd figure that with all the exercise and stuff, prem would be rock solid. but in a collision with glob, the glob's mass certainly won that fight!🤣

* little thing:'kay! what was that thing with prem having to sign once to check his signature on the custoday papers??!! bwahahahahahahaha!!! that was soooo ridiculously funny!!!

but ... ooooh! that was a chance for the cameras to dwell on troubled prem. and that too troubled prem in white! ooooooh.... 🤣

* little thing:flashback time. and we get to see how young mr. juneja still holds all the purse strings in the house. kinda icky -- why don't the other kids have any legal responsibility on all the work they are in charge of?

* little thing:one of the most charming things this week -- i loved how they had prem walk into harman-maya's room to check where harman is. that was so... normal! in this absurd show, it was nice seeing just one teeny moment of normal.

* prem thing: 'kay, i thought that he now does thick white kurtas so that he doesn't have to do the undershirt thingie.. i guess i was wrong?

*sigh* seriously. i want to know who is in charge of prem wearing undershirt thingies. seriously, i want to know. i promise -- i won't hurt 'em. well, not much anyway.🤣

* little thing:bwahahahahahaha! in the manner of all the villains on these shows, glob clearly articulated why and how she was the one who paid the glob-lawyer and for what -- carefully, in prem's hearing. 🤣

but gross! she was still using vitchface as an excuse for hating heer now... she is a mentally deranged person. seriously! 🤢

* little thing:y'know? i'm dead tired of seeing prem getting nothing to do in the script but weep... 😆

* little thing:hmm. gi-it and gi-it glob are quite a nice mom-daugther relationship?

but *sigh* the mother's obsessed with her marriage going off well... *sigh*

* heer-phukda thing: what a little manipulator phukda is! and how easily heer gives in -- and that too five chocolates!! my mother never gives in -- never did, never does, probably never will... *sigh* i want a heer-like mom. 😆

heer calling phukda ''baby''. aw...

* prem-phukda thing: that moment when prem landed up at her house and both baby and papa run into each other, was actually one of the most realistic prem-phukda moments ever, no? both of them yearning to say hi, smile, but holding themselves firmly in control, quite miserably, just for the love of his love and her mama-papa.

that moment brought a lump to my throat...

* prem-heer thing: frankly, the prem-heer moments in that episode had to be some of the most badly setup, hackneyed ones ever!

i mean, seriously! heer acting goopy and coy there made me giggle madly. and that was just the beginning! that entire scene -- the dialogue, the way these two behaved with each other was totally howlarious! and what made it awful was that it was prem-and-heer being prem-and-heer-are-one with each other. it's just that ...

all through, i got the sense that prem and heer were fighting with what the scriptwriters had put together for them to do! it was kinda like they were resigned that the script of that moment was totally ridiculous -- certainly the things that they had poor prem say was howlarious! -- but prem and heer soldiered on to take the story to the next point.

problem was that by the time they were done, i wasn't quite sure what/where the next point was! all i know was that i was laughing and was filled with sympathy for hc-ag, prem-heer for doing the script/living the story that these stoooooopid script-writers had put together for them!

what was most disastrous 'bout the moment? that at the end, the central message that came through was that prem and heer had somehow resigned themselves to not being with each other. that they had acknowledged to each other that they were totally mad about each other. but also acknowledged that they were not going to be with each other! did no one else get that sense? i did.. 😕

i mean, wasn't it odd how prem kept saying ''hamara chahat'' but ''tumhare paas''? or that heer thanked prem for getting phukda back for her? i liked how prem admonished her for doing that...

in that odd-ball segment that started so awkwardly, i totally loved how it ended. i was gonna frown at heer nott insisting on knowing who the criminal was. but then, i was resigned at the inevitability of the worry-about-phukda moment naturally dissolved into prem-heer-are-one-ness. as it always does when these two are involved!

so at the end of howling with laughter throughout most of the episode, i was merely smiling goopily at prem and heer at the end of it: at their helplessly collapsing into a pheyeooh (and what an oooh! there was, my phorum pals 😆). what was sweet was the way prem struggled to pull himself out of it. i liked how heer stopped him and told him ''jaate hoon nehin kehtay''. totally loved the arrested look on his face when she stopped herself from completing her ''instead say..''

*y'know, sometimes, i wonder why these two ever think 'bout anything else without getting this resolved! 🤣 seriously!*

and although i thought hc was racing through his dialogue at the end, i loved what he said at the end -- ''tell me, just tell me what your eyes, every hair on your head, every line on your face is telling me, and then i'll never be saying i'll leave. 'cause i never will.'' nice lines, prem. 😍 *sigh* now if only you could get a chance to show that this time, you will actually mean it...

*sigh* prem. i love what you say. if only you had ever done as you said... 'cause when was the last time you had cared about what heer said with her voice, prem? all she has ever done is talk to you with her eyes, or touch your heartbeat with hers. always. why is it so important now that you see her love, but need her to welcome you back with words?

highlight of the episode: hmm. the moment where phukda-prem look at each other yearningly. the moment where prem-heer look at each other yearningly. and in both cases, the yearning goes unfulfilled... *sigh* no one quite does yearning as beautifully as prem or heer or prem-heer, no? 😍

8 sep

* heer thing: how sweetly she gave him the photograph.. 😳

* prem thing: i couldn't figure whether prem was shaken at heer giving him phukda's photograph -- along with the rights to own her as his daughter -- or at heer having remembered, word for word, what he had said was what a father is at the school competition. seriously, i couldn't figure... 😆

* creatives thing: why, oh why, do they need to dub the voice tracks for these two?? why??? why????? why????!!!

* prem-heer thing: that was a sweet phug... truly. ☺️ the way he pulled her into his arms... ☺️

but what the heck was that thing prem did to heer's cheek after that??!

what? what?? what??!!

so though heer did a fine job clinging to her cheek in wonderment after that, what i really wanted to know was whether that was pleased wonder -- at having had him be that intimate after so long. or whether it was dismayed wonder -- that he thinks that is an appropriate way to thank her. i mean, this is heer, damnit! and he politely brushes past her cheek in thanks??! i mean, a touch of phhandooh has got more feeling than that!

*it looked more like prem was trying to demonstrate that he still has a neck under that moronic polo-neck thingies than trying to kiss heer on the cheek! 🤣but man! what a pretty-pretty jawline that guy has... er... have i said that before?? 🤣*

if i were heer, i'd take it as a sign that prem has indeed moved on -- and has given up all plans to ever be prem-heer-are-one after this! 😲

seriously, people! what was that??? 😡

* little thing:wasn't that little moment where meher called out to pbauji and he said he has things to get done a little odd?

* little thing:ewwww! didn't that maya spying on glob moment creep anyone else out?? ewwww! the way glob's face changed when she figured that she was being spied on... ewww! she is seriously one creepy glob.

* little thing:*sigh* so all of maya's little spying activity came to naught. *sigh* yet another one of those potentially interesting character development tracks that got dumped... *sigh*

* prem thing: oooh. prem told gi-it that he wants to be left alone. i like how he is just soooo not interested in even looking at her...

and heh! he ignored glob as he went upto his room! said this before, saying it again: i love it when glob's face falls 'cause of s'thing that prem does...

* heer-phukda thing: what a seriously sweet mother-daughter pair! i loved loved loved how heer chased phukda. that was totally not mother-like at all! mother's just stand in the doorway, frown and say ''esther!!'' firmly which make things like school clothes get replaced by home clothes immediately. here, there was laughter and games and a sense of fun. *sigh*

and i totally loved the way baby put her head in heer's lap when there was a ''difficult'' conversation going on. now that is something i can relate to as well. mother's laps are secret magical places that somehow have all the comfort and peace in the world..

*sigh* i am kinda dying to see prem-heer-and-phukda live together as a family. away from jzoo. truly...😍

* prem thing: ooooh. what an apt line: ''i'm trying so hard to make up to her for my mistakes, and you? you are making me wrong in her eyes. you cannot love me.''

* prem thing: that instinctive way that prem moved away from glob's touch when she put out her hand to his arm... nice! 👍🏼

* prem thing: *sigh* yeh prem bhi, na? sees one thing and instantly goes extremist with his reaction to it!

i mean, he saw how glob is the one behind getting the custody case against phukda -- and goes to the extent of accusing glob of being a step-mother??! i thought 'bout it for a moment: prem is tickd off 'cause he is shocked that glob is trying to take ''meri chahat from heer''. *how sweet was that line??!*

prem was seriously ticked off 'cause that was precisely what made heer go ballistic against him. totally chopping off all his efforts to appease her about ''his mistake six years ago'' that tore them apart.

but to accuse her of showing him step-motherly treatment?

well. maybe. it's prem after all -- who certainly sees the world in black&white as far as heer is concerned. and who also treats glob in almost the same way? or is it that prem is finding out that the enemy of his heer is his enemy -- no matter who that person is? after all, this is the guy who gave up his father for heer....

but i wonder: if this is what his reaction is now, what the heck is he going to do when he understands that glob really will do anything to keep heer miserable for the rest of her life? what? 😕

[B]highlight of the episode: ooh, no confusions here! the way glob looked shattered when prem called her a stepmother! yes you are, you low-life! take that! 😈 hmmm. on the more pleasant side 😆, the way prem pulled heer into the phug. 😍 the way heer recited prem's lines about fatherhood back at him. * if only it'd been in her own voice.* the way heer chased phukda 'round the house. the way phukda lay her head into heer's lap to tel her that she doesn't miss a father at all when she has heer as her father. only sometimes when her friends have their fathers' around. hmm. prem used to do that a lot with glob when she was gayatri-mom too, na? lay his head in her lap and cry/talk deep stuff? 😍

09/09/09! *heh. i just had to write that out in full! 😆*

* prem thing: what a mixed bag of lines poor prem got to say. y'know, i seriously hate it when they scavenge in their old lines and try to steal what prem has said in the past. so i hated it when he started with ''today, even if god came in front of me...''

'cause the first time those lines were said was one of the most powerful scenes ever in this show! today, it sounded weak and repetitive. just like that ''aaj mein prem juneja...'' scene turned out when prem said it again. such powerful lines getting reused are just damp irritating squibs! 😡

and er... prem? that thing about you having ''seen it with my own eyes, and therefore, i believe it.'' the last time you saw something with your own eyes was when you saw the cctv recording of ig-idiot and heer in the hotel.

you came out of that time with egg all over your face, and walked into the situation that ultimately made you spend six years away from heer. um... you may want to give that extreme reaction of yours a rest, guy...

but i loved how prem got the essence of what glob has done: that she must hate heer to be able to do the custody case!

and i did like the last thing he said: ''from today onwards, our relationship will have changed. 'cause you have changed!''

man, if only he knew the half of it! 😔

* big thing: man! glob is such a hypocritical devious evil mass of worm-poop!

crying crocodile tears sitting on his bed, listening to his miserable anger at her. i just wanted to ask one question to that blubbering mass of cadaverous once-upon-a-time-real-motherhood -- if prem hadn't discovered that she was behind the case, would she feel even the littlest bit of remorse today?? has this in any way made her realise that she has become a monster?? will she change her behaviour??

well, so far, we certainly haven't seen any sign of that! dirty miserable piece of non-human. 🤢

* little thing:heh. the way phukda went ga-ga about the sweets. she's such a ... kid! 😆

* little thing:hmmm. so heer lied to gi-it glob about why gi-it was upset. and gi-it doesn't tell her differently either... hmmm.

* little thing:gi-it glob said s'thing soooo true today that i nearly gave her a thing!

''sometimes, na, the two of you (heer and gi-it) are really difficult to understand.''

tell me 'bout it, gi-it glob! and you are her mother! if you don't know what has happened to make them such strong friends, can you imagine my frustration??!

but i must admit: today i thought all of them together were cute. it was a nice scene. if only it had been in a new show, where we knew how all these relationships had been formed...

* heer thing: said this before, saying this again: why, oh why, is heer such an extremist in her reactions to, and her obligations to, prem? why?

when she was in love with him, but thought his family had betrayed her father, she was totally against him. when she was in love with him, and was ''married to him'', she gave up everything in the world for him. and worse, for his as well. when she was betrayed by him, she pushed him away as far as she could. and when she thought she was guilty of not being able to forgive a mistake that she is now convinced he will never commit again, she has to punish herself.

every thing she has ever done, she has done with full conviction. heer is a black and white character in this story - much more than prem has been. she has always just had one major center in her universe (after her parents) - and that has been prem. is prem. and will always be prem.

i really wonder though why she is convinced today that she was not able to take their love story to the highest level possible; . but i am glad of one thing: she just thinks that gi-it and phukda are the ones to give prem a fresh start. not that theirs will be a a greater love than prem and hers. phew!

and another thing that intrigued me: she thinks that prem-heer's love story is probably ended.

thank you for small mercies, mssrs creatives!

but that makes me intrigued 'cause if she doesn't think they are definitely over, and that prem-gi-it's story has started, what exactly does she think is the relationship they three are going to share going forward? does she actually think that she and phukda can stay in the same point on earth as prem if he is married to someone else?? no, even heer can't be as delusional as that, can she? so... is she thinking that she will leave phukda with her father -- 'cause after all, if she is not deserving to be with prem, how can she be deserving to be with prem's nishani -- ie, phukda??

hmm. i am so not liking this strand of thinking... *now i'm gonna bite my nails till i can chat this over with my pcp...*

* brilliant line thing: ''dua-on ki doli mein bittakay uskey bidha kar diya jaate hain'' -- that line made my heart cry. it was such a beautiful line...

actually, that whole thing she thought about prem was heart-breakingly beautiful:
what ought i to have from prem? does anyone demand anything of love? love grows in the heart, just as memories do. you surround love by good wishes and let it go.

heer has had the best lines about love on this show. seriously.

* phukda thing: that child was one happy baby today, wasn't she?? there was not that many frames in which she didn't have one huge beam pastered on her face! [Smile]

how could anyone not just smile when she was there today? even a one-was-a-human-being?

but btw, when meher told her that ''prem juneja'' was in the room upstairs, didn't anyone else expect chahat to wave and say ''thanks, chahat ki maasi''?? 😍

* weird script thing: wasn't it strange how prem was just totally au-fait with phukda being in his house, tugging at his kurta, no? in fact, phukda continuously calling him ''papa'' was ... weird! 😆

of course, it oculd be the child trying out a word that she has had no occassion to use for all her life so far.

* prem thing: er... so these days, prem's brains are soooo addled that he wears his kurtas inside out??! *seriously wondering if i should not use my idle time as helper to prem's wearing white-shirts-and-rolling-up-his-sleeves while he's into those disgusting turtlenecks to offer to help out with prem wearing white kurtas as well? hmmm.... 🤣*

* prem phukda thing: seriously! hc's face when he's with phukda is totally different from heer's prem, isn't it?? at least this time around, he exercised more control on that mobile eyebrow of his. 😆

but i liked how face went still when little phukda innocently tells him that her mother probably loves him as much as she herself does. at that point, it seriously looked like prem was exercising a lot of control on himself not to give her a kiss back again! so secretly thrilled he looked.. 😆

* prem thing: er... but what was that question to phukda about heer allowing anohter man call phukda ''papa''? er... what other man??!

sounded like... prem is resigned to marrying gi-it, no? (after which, obviously, he would get heer married to someone else. 😛) but why???

or was he just doing his usual prem thing -- testing whether his daughter has got the same insane loyatly to him that heer has?

very odd that question was, i thought... i think it's time that prem and phukda also had some ''putting phukda to sleep and chat chummily before that'' sessions. that way maybe prem can learn from phukda's chatter that she had asked her mama about getting married again, and her mama told her that she would never ever get married again..? 😃 so happy prem would become, no? 😃

* phukda thing: so sweet she looked, nestling against him, tucked under his chin, beaming her phukda smile up at him... didn't mind seeing that prem chin and that prem adam's apple that showed up clearly when that shot was taken either! 🤣

* prem-phukda thing: ooooh! prem grabs his daughter's hand, and walked between her and glob as they went out of the room.

man! he's not taking any chances with glob, is he??! go prem! your instincts are soooo on track! please, please, please just continue following 'em! go prem, go! ⭐️

* big thing: oooh, a pooja at jzoo. and prem is back to doing what he has probably not had a chance to do for the last six years -- continuously stare longingly at his heer. 😍

y'know? if there's one thing that is always a certainty on this show, it's that when prem and heer are together in the episode, prem will be staring at heer. no matter who else is there, or what else is happening, his eyes just have to be trained on her! 😍 part of the prem-heer-are-one magic... and this part never ever changes. 😍😃

* big thing: and this time, unlike all the other times when they are apparently doing this and no-one else notices, evil glob sees it! ha! she saw that intense look, saw the depth of the longing in that look, and looked like she was burning seeing it. no? 😍 oh, go prem, go... 😍

* phhandooooooooh thing: oh, oh, oh. what a sweet little phhandooh that was! the first all three parts of prem-heer-are-one phhandoooh!

sooo sweet. prem's hands on heer's -- prem's eyes looking as electrified as it usually does when he takes her hand -- heer hands small and protected beneath his. and under it all, their phukda's.

technical point though: poor baby. her hands were closest to the fire. towards the end of that (probably long) shot, phukda's hands were at their wrists - as away from the fire as she could go without spoiling the shot. 😆

* little thing:😆 prem grabbing the glass and drinking it -- all the while staring at his goddess. man, that was such a corny setup... 🤣 but such a pretty-pretty look in their eyes... 😍

highlight of the episode: hmmm. hmmm. hmmm. the phhandooooh, ☺️ i think. 😆 prem's eyes never straying from heer's face from the moment that he reaches the bottom of the stairs and sees her. 😍

10 sep

* little thing:er... 'kay, exactly what did/does meher think will happen by asking heer whether she doesn't love him or not? 'cause obviously heer would say that she doesn't. and yet, meher knows that she is lying. and heer knows that meher knows. and all that circular jazz. the point is -- what did she mean to achieve? if heer had said yes -- and she did say yes at a point -- what would meher imagine would happen next??

would she grab her and take her to all the family and say that heer still loves prem (which everyone knows anyway)? and then? would heer be able to come back and everyone would live happily ever after?

everyone knows that it's glob that's the big barrier to heer coming back. what will heer saying she loves prem achieve, to meher?

so i guess i just didn't get all that. 'cause the things that heer has to say to try to convince anyone about her not loving prem is totally... well, ludicrous! and whether you want to consider that a feature or a bug coming out of prem-heer-are-one is upto you. 😆

* gi-it thing: oh c'mon! of course she heard that conversation! er.. .didn't she??!

why is she pushing for situations where she can watch heer come up with yet another ingenious, border-line plausible reason to deny any knowledge of prem juneja, jzoo and everything else?

i'm actually quite serious: why is this whole show getting filled with episodes with heer denying to everyone on the surface that she isn't interested in prem? just so that we can see that while her voice says one thing, her big-big eyes are saying something totally different??? and to top it all, gi-it gets to say things like: ''you are such a good friend to me, heer...''

i'm seriously not getting this as part of the script... what is the purpose? 😕

* little thing:'cause it was just discomforting to see both heer and meher at the end, settling into a world where both of them accept the other's lie.

meher accepting that heer is lying about not caring about prem. and heer accepting that meher knows she is lying.

man! what a tangled web they weave. it'd almost make my poor head hurt.

if i wasn't so detached, of course... 😎

* little thing: heh. prem makes glob's face fall again in public. heh. heh. me totally lovin' it.

funny, no? when prem and pbauji were at logger-heads during the whole pbauji-throws-prem-out-of-home times, i had some sympathy for pbauji. glob, otoh? i just want her to burn. way beyond the six years she has made these two suffer. i want her to burn forever. 😡

* eww thing: ewwww!!! glob hugging phukda. ewwww! unhand her, you ... mass of decaying flesh! 🤢

* ewwwww thing: ewwww!!! glob crying and asking prem's photograph to talk to her.

you <insert-really-filthy-beyond-belief-and-beyond-pattshala-gaali here>!! how dare you, you ... vile stench! 😡 how dare you ask prem to talk to you after what you have done to him, after what you have done to heer! 😡

i am saying one thing right here and right now: if they have prem and heer forgive this mentally disturbed mass of gobbar gas, i will quit watching the show. i don't care if prem and heer kiphph after that. i will not watch it. i want glob to burn. i do. 🤢 just as i had wanted dirtchachi to suffer. that was a filthy greedy woman - -and i wanted her to rot in poverty. this one? i want her to burn in a hell on earth. 'cause she has a twisted, rotten soul. she does. she ... stinks! 😡

* little thing: er... but i couldn't help noticing here -- that's a new outfit for prem in that photograph, no? did we just get a preview on what his outfit is gonna be for the engagement??! 🤣 but i must say -- i love that shade of scarlet. love it. the colour of blood almost, no? ummm. ummm. ummmm.... 😍

* ewwwww thing: ewwww!!! glob hugging phukda and calling her a reincarnation of vitchface! omg! i knew it, i just knew this was gonna happen! i'd said this would be the most scary scenario -- that glob would think nothing of taking phukda away from heer 'cause she will think of phukda as her vitchface.

* heer phukda thing: seriously. after prem-heer moments, these two have the sweetest moments.

oddly enough, i loved how heer patted her gently and phukda obediently closed her eyes... *loving-it muh*

but there was blooper in that conversation: little phukda was calling glob daadi left right and center while talking to her. and yet she asked heer why she should call her daadi.. 😆

* prem thing: prem in his bedroom, all alone -- and he's not fooling 'round with his phone??! and that too, an iphone? a white one??! what's going on?? *but i'm shamelessly drooling here! why can't i have a heer-like mother who will give me my version of five chocolates, ie a white iphone? 😃*

* prem thing: y'know? much more than prem's grandiose dialogues, i have come to love it when he says those simple things that have so much natural honesty that it wrings your heart in a heartbeat.

heer: ''if i ask you s'thing, will you tell me the truth?''
prem (with that peaceful look and a little smile, saying more than just a little wryly): ''when have i ever lied to you that you need to ask me that? ask me.''

omg. that one line was so perfectly delivered that i wanted to hug hc at that point. it was mind-blowingly superb.

of course, maybe it helped that the first thing he said was ''yes, heer''. in that gorgeous way that prem always, always, always says ''heer''. 😍

*y'know? if someone makes a cd of just prem saying ''heer'' in different situations, i think i would pay money for it... considerable money even. seriously... 🤣*

* heer thing: y'know what i loved? that she may have this big fake front of how she doesn't have the same feelings for him. but something bugs heer about prem, and she just can't stop herself from going after him, and bugging him about it, can she?? 😆

she never could, still can't, probably never will be able to.

heer, give up imagining a life for prem with gi-it, damnit. what will gi-it think when you keep calling prem up, or meeting him to get into his face to bug him 'bout something you think he is doing that is wrong?

give up, heer. give up. 🤣

* prem thing: how sweet. he couldn't lie to her. and yet, he couldn't tell her the heart-breaking truth. all he could do was keep silent. which of course told heer everything... 😆

i wonder though: if he had told her, what would we have heard back from heer? *yeah, yeah! i'm still clinging fiercely to the remotest possibility that there was something else other than not-forgiving-prem-for-the-one-night-of-sexwithashlesha that made heer want to push prem away so badly. ya, one day i'll run a poll on who is more delusional -- heer or me? 😆*

*sigh* i really don't understood what these two think they are upto... really, i don't! prem can see all her love in every part of her, and yet wants her to ''tell him''. heer can't lie to anyone about what she feels for prem, and yet she wants him, them, everyone to accept it anyway.

totally illogical. totally irrational. perfectly prem-heer-are-one. matched in all ways.

* prem thing: aarrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh!!! the guy is still wearing white socks with his dark trousers and shoes!

what?? did balaji telefilms get these socks on a super-duper wholesale deal or s'thing??!

* little thing: er... asked it just before, asking it again. why does meher bother? she knows he doesn't want to. she can see it. she didn't even get an answer from her own sister. how can she hope to get an answer from prem? in any case, what does she hope to achieve by asking??? what?? *sulky muh*

* little thing: i was laughing at gi-it -- she was driving the car, she's already got heer trapped.

* little thing: umm. prem in all dark (other than the socks of course [ROFL]) leaning against a dark car. turning with winds in his hair when heer arrives. umm. umm. ummm. 😆

* little thing: er... so. gi-it. she knows that prem is still deeply in love with his ex-wife. so... why bother asking him if he's lost in memories of s'one else? of course he is!

was that just a demonstration to heer that prem was staring at heer? or was that just a demonstration to heer that she knows that prem was staring at heer? 'cause none of those demonstrations were necessary -- 'cause heer knew. heer always knew. 'cause that's what prem always does!

* script thing: man! the way they are writing this story drives me up the wall! seriously! it's not the story itself, i figured. i mean, the way the story is going just now is a testament to the power of prem-heer-are-one dominating the story, no? everyone knows -- we the audience, they the creatives, scriptwriters, everyone -- that it's prem-heer that is the magic making this show work. and they need to have the story focussed on them as much as possible. but they assume that they just can't have only prem and heer drive the story and so need to find something for the rest of the characters to do!

only problems are: they haven't worked on the rest of the characters with as much conviction and interest as they've worked on prem-heer. otherwise there is no way in heck gayatrimom would've become glob. no way!

plus, i happen to think that keeping prem-heer in perpetual misery is not the only way for the story to be. 😡😕

but more than the story, it's the script that is driving me crazy. it's like they take all the ''normal'' tricks/situations they're used to in other non-prem-heer stories, and are trying to fit them here! argh! and it just doesn't fit!

none of these situations are even plausible for prem-heer!

the only thing that works for these stooopid script tricks is that it gets hc-as-prem and ag-as-heer on the screen together, where they can look at each other. and then?

well, then, nothing else really matters, no? 😆 so why not cut to the chase, don't bother writing a script at all and just have an episode that is filled with prem and heer looking at each other in the first and third segment. and phhandooh-ing in the second? seriously! they could try this at least once, no?? 🤣🤣🤣

highlight of the episode: ''when have i lied to you that i wouldn't tell you the truth? ask no?'' ummm. ummm. ummm. one of the two sensible and realistic things that we've heard/seen in this show so far this week...

'kay. done. now i have to run and watch the show. and demonstrate to my mother that even though she can present a paper in a much cooler way than i did, i can still beat her at how much curd rice i can eat! 😆 see you guys...

yaaay finally! Been waiting all week!

Omg estee! You're back! Finally! 😃

P.S. I have nothing to say about the progression of this story. Absolutely nothing. That's how put off I am.

yes estee, it was worth it, your posts always are!

About Gi-it....honestly I really think we are either underestimating her dumbness and she's actually really in love with Heer and obsessed with Heer just like how Glob is in love and obsessed with Prem and she thinks that it's perfectly alright for her soon to be husband to be in love with Heer too cause Heer is best thing since sliced bread (and like you I want to know why is this girl so obsessed with HEER? Prem's obsession I understand but Geet's I don't.) and its perfectly alright for Heer and Prem to have a relationship cause again Heer rocks her socks (read my OS: Masterplan for that :P) OOOOOORRRRRR (thats a huge or) we are just underestimating Gi-it's SMARTNESS and she actually does know the truth and she actually does know Heer pretty well and knows that if she provokes Heer enough times with her comments and creates such situations, Heer would come out and admit that yes Prem Juneja is my husband. I am hoping for the second one.....

Hey E, you're back!!!!!!

man! so i am not the only one!! phew! it is ludicrous no?? i mean -- what are they making poor prem and heer do??!

@bold: I don't know estee, I really don't know. I don't know anything about this show anymore. I really fiercely miss the old charm of this show. I really do. I miss the old Prem and the old Heer and the old family (Meher, Preet, Pbauji, Kuldi... All of them.. Yes, Gayatri mom too..). And I miss the old story and how it made sense then. Atleast more than it does now. Yeah we probably still had some complains about it, but they were things I personally could live with. The over all product didn't disappoint me, but these days it's like I come online hoping that the show would have regained some of it's old charm back or even taken a step towards it -- I'm always disappointed. I just don't know anymore. I'm not even sure what's holding me on to watch this show any longer. Maybe because I still hope that one day the creatives will grow a brain and figure out what Kis Desh and Premeer were all about. Until such time I just have to make do with watching old scenes.

When Prem died I thought that was the worst story line ever but when they brought him back (like literally when he got married to Heer) I thought "hey this could work". And the next few episodes after that, especially the one where everyone leaves Prem Heer alone in Jzoo and runs off to Ambala (you know what I'm talking about right?) they really pulled up their socks. I mean that scene where Prem and Heer have dinner on the terrace/roof area is exceptional. They don't say a word and that has got to be one of my favorites scenes.

But we don't have that anymore. I don't see that anymore. And I am getting tired of watching everyday turn into every week only to be disappointed each time. I think I am going to go your way now and detach from this show since it seems to working alot better for you than my way is for me. *sigh*

I want the old Kis Dis and the old Prem Heer and the old Juneja and Maan family back!!! I doo!!! *sigh*


P.S. Missed you?! Do you even have to ask!?! 😆
