Yesterday's episode wasn't worth even commenting upon 'Nu 🤗 As always, I agree with everything you've said, and then some more :P
The highlight of the epi for me was definitely the Dad-Dadi scene...lovely I thought :) Loved how he laid bare to her his concerns about whether he's doing right by his children or not...everyone has moments of self-doubt, and here he knows very well that what worked in his day and his mother's day, the parenting methods they used back then will obviously not be applicable now...because of the change in cities , the change in time...it makes you realise that he ( and Meeta ) are tuned in to generational changes...and that they realise that they must give some amount of freedom to their children...unlike Anant's dad and babajeee who're evidently totally disconnected from the realities of life :-/
"Picnic jaise wahiyat tamashe mein..." I mean, REALLY ?! I think they didn't show HOW exactly babajeee gave Anant permission to go because they couldn't think of any sensible, reasonable way to do so :/ REFUSING permission would have been more in character with the prize jerks that are Anant's family members :-/ But of course , story ke purposes ke liye [ read : hide and seek 🤢 ] they HAD to let him go to the picnic as well :P
I'm also grateful for the glimpse they provided into Renuka's upbringing...and how they showed that he doesn't want the same thing to happen with Navya, he realises how difficult it must be to have such a lot of responsibilities thrust upon her at such a young age...married just out of college and everything...but you know, the whole first-child thing, it is VERY true...my mum tells me that herself...that she and dad made some mistakes while bringing my sister up and that they didn't repeat those with me because they had more experience...my dad used to be slightly stricter with her as well :P While he allowed me to pretty much sit on him (literally and metaphorically :P :P ) since the day I was born :P And she's understandably testy now...must have concerns about her daughter and whether she's up to the task of mothering her...her marriage is obviously going through a tenuous phase...and she's worried about "Anant" as well...I don't applaud her, but I understand the why and how of what she's doing at least...its natural to feel a little resentful :S
And I'm very thankful they showed how Deepak is concerned about his children today...I mean, I remember, FIRST promo mein they'd shown that they say something like, "when we should be parents, and when friends, these are the questions which disturb you as well, don't they ?" So I'm happy the haven't entirely forgotten the nayi dhadkan , naye sawaal premise...and it was evident that Harsh's disappointment was making him unhappy as well , and he finally resolved that today :)
edit :
I watched that promo...and Bekaboo DOES sound so awesome ! :( WHY , do they not play it ? This is the FIRST time they've played it to actual scenes ( not that I think much of the scenes in question) ... they should've played it by now...Anant toh, well, bumblebee mode mein hai hi toh aisa bhi nahi hai ki it wouldnt be fitting :P
Oye you decided to reply today?😲😆 Dhanya bhaag humaare😛
@bold: Totally agree...very well described, SP :-)
LOL@ them not showing HOW CSB gave permission cuz the very premise of his refusal only was so retarded😆 But jokes apart...I do feel that scene b/w him and Anant yesterday was good...charged...and then today when in this epi they didn't even give a proper closure to that scene, I feel it broke the flow of some things😕
Re: the first child theory...haha spoken like a true younger sibling :P...I guess it was the same for my parents too although I probably don't know how that feels since I'm the first born and they pretty much never restricted me for anything...also cuz mostly I've been too LAZY and haven't HAD many things I've even asked for and realllyyy had to beg permission for😆...my sister is a total spoilt brat though...spoilt by everyone including me I think :P...so I guess I can see that slight shift that does happen with the younger child...you go easy on some ways since you "practice" on the first child😆
Yeah for the first time in many epis that I can recall watching of this show, they actually touched on the theme of the show yesterday...shocker😆...I'd also thought ke bhool hi gaye honge...but they dealt with it very nicely yesterday...I find Navya's dad to just be so realistically cast...he REALLY seems like an average dad of today...I'm sure he has some traits that remind everyone of their fathers.
Re: The promo...haha yeah Bekaboo sounds so awesome but quite sad that they never play it in the show since it perfectly suits Anant's hyperness these days anyways :P
