G- what beautiful collages. Personally I love these glasses, very sophisticated.
Love a dashing man in these kind of frames, kind of Clark Kent-ish and my inner nerd senses have been activated!😛
Loved the ISHRA moments today, so cute and flirty and kind of juvenile in the best sense. It seems to be like the honeymoon phase' for both them and their love... and when the A bomb drops by way of Shagun's big move we will all need moments like this to cling to!😕
Shagun's plotting has already begun, I don't have much hope for Toshi anymore, Simmi and Ru baby are my only hope for ISHRA unity. But I don't really want to think about that mess until I have to.😊
The way I see it, especially after the last two episodes, this is actually a very clever and much needed track that if handled properly will delve into a lot of issues.
To name a few:
1. This is about Adhi and his relationships: with his parents, family , Ishu and Ru; and ultimately his self identity about why he acts reacts the way he does.
2. This is about Shagun and her relationships: with ISHRARU, the Bhallas, Adhi & Ashok; and though it seems clear now that it won't lead to her becoming a 'better person' I hope that she at least comes out of this with a clear understanding of where she stands in each of these relationships according to the other person in the relationship.
3. This is about Raman and his relationships: With Ishu, his children, the Bhallas and Shagun. I see this track a s the first test of ISHRA's new found though very deep and very strong love. And Raman needs to take a stand for Ishu and Ru and tell everyone, including his family who and what are important to him. Also, I see this as a chance for him to finally wipe the ghost of Shagun from his life entirely- in the past we have seen his hate and anger and even his dismissal but he needs to deal with what she did, make it clear that she is no longer important and she has no place in hi life and that he can no longer be manipulated- without turning to anger.
4. This is about Ishu and her relationships: With RAMRU, Adhi Shagun and the Bhallas . Her infertility is where our epic ISHRARU love story began and she needs to have that conversation with the Bhallas that make it clearthat she is not stepping back because of her inabiity to reproduce. With all these talks about heirs it seems to be she is being pushsed back into that 'infertile= unworthy ' equation a little bit and I hate that, I know it's not purposeful but it must really hurt. She needs to have that conversation with Toshi, Raman and shagun especially to make it clear that this is how it seems and how wrong that is and how much value she has. As for her relationship with Shagun- enough is enough, she needs to take a stand, let out the inner JKR and fight for her man , their love and their family. Being a pushover is not only unrealistic and unwatchable but also goes against the character we all grew to love. She mentioned that she is selfish about Ruhi, so why wouldn't she be selfish about Raman?
5. This is about Ruhi and her relationship with ISHRA, Adhi, Shagun & the Bhallas. Ru is the star and she is being sidelined- I don't like it!😉 In all seriousness, Toshi's comment really bugged me though I am aware it reflects a thought held by many- and Ruhi's importance and value needs to be clarified. I wouldn't even mind if Ruhi overheard a similar conversation and questioned the adults on what that means , on why her opinions, her Ishimaa and her love are secondary to that of her brother's. If the CVs are going to have Toshi say something like that, then they should explore the issue fully - if they want to do a social message then discuss the whole issue head on.
That's all I can think of at the moment , though I am sure there are more and that even in these I have made very wide generalizations. All I want to say is that I see more potential in this track that the basic stereotypical one we are seeing and I hope that if we are forced to sit through this disaster the CVs atleast use it as an opportunity to clear up these issues.
On that note - thanks for the tunnel vision idea G. That's all I use now to get by.
And thanks to you and your posts i have a new motto to get through YHM- Think positive , be positive! And the result is this post...andd since so far I seem to be handling this track better then the majority of the posters on the board I guess it's working!😆
