The "good guy playing yet another good guy v. reformed bad guy" scorecard
The
scorecard, as updated after the episode on 6 May 2011. The starting
point is the time when Beeji's household agrees with Geet's decision to
give Maan an opportunity to prove himself.
The scorecard is from
the point of view of Beeji's household and includes their
acknowledgement (or lack thereof) of the efforts of the reformed bad guy
and the good guy playing yet another good guy. So, I have edited out
some of the reformed bad guy's actions vis-a-vis the good guy and his
wife and listed them out for special mention.

I have some not-so serious symbolism to offer today. Now Maan will disappear and now he will not be sighted for a few days (just like the Moon). Thus all of his fans will go on a fast too and they will keep Geet company while she fasts. Then when the Moon is sighted, so also will Maan be sighted. Then will the fast of all -- the fans and Geet -- be broken.

@ all: Adios. See you all later.
