Today turned out to be a true blue manic Monday and IPKKND topped it off with a dimaag-ka-dahi -guaranteed-varna-full-refund episode. So the heretefore unheard of Dadi enters, dragging a cauldron full of prejudice behind her. Flashbacks of pre-Khushi, unevolved ASR and his auqaat lines come to mind. Perhaps that is the intent...to show the origins of ASR-ness. So then the question becomes, wherefore does Dadi's prejudice stem from? Is it just a sign of her times and place, or were real-life events responsible for this distaste for lowly servants? Such as the apple of her eye, her Bitwa developing a roving eye for the pretty maid/worker in the house, perhaps? Despite the aage squared dekhiye hota hai kya mantra that I stick to normally, am beginning to think that is likely what happened with Senior Malik and what led to all the rest of the mess in ODB's past.
