Smelling of roses

26th October episode

Thought they would raise the proximity issue - and they have, but differently to what I imagined. Hmm ... interesting, let's see how it goes. A bit surprising, I thought Samrat would be more pushy, but he's coming out smelling of roses here, with his tacit refusal to push Gunjan any further than where she wants to go. And his line - 'it's late, it wouldn't be right for me to come inside now' - was a winner. No wonder she gazed at him so soulfully when he said that one. Now she knows she made the right choice, baby!

But yes, she's bound to be apprehensive - words like girlfriend and boyfriend are really not in her dictionary, and her discomfort showed when he used them. It's going to take her a while to get over the 'not friends but more than that' thing and get used to this new relationship - their friendship was a long one. And more than her, it's Samrat who has changed completely - she's gotten used to her own feelings, but getting used to this new improved amorous Samrat might take a bit of doing. So I can understand her sudden withdrawal - she's spent the weekend struggling with her feelings and the change in Samrat, swinging between the "he turned me down" to the "why has he come to Morena" to the "He came here for me?!" to the "he's flirting - with me!!!" phases.
Then the confession, then the almost separation, the last two of which phases she basically spent in his arms - and now back to their old environment, where there is no parental or adult supervision at all - what exactly is he expecting from her? And she knows about his girlfriends - none better, the last one in excruciating detail. Except of course she doesn't know that he never progressed very far with Sheena only because he was already well and truly in love with Gunjan by then. But she doesn't know that - and she knows he's far more 'experienced' (for lack of a better word) with girls and the whole romance thing than she is. So umm, yes ... hesitation, worry, a little bit of self-doubt (I'm not like his other girlfriends) ... understandable. Am actually surprised the 'not like his other girlfriends' bit didn't surface before - with her self-esteem issues, I would have expected it to.

Mayur today - The basic problem with Mayank is that he has no friends other than Nupur - and CJ, who has conveniently disappeared. So he can't talk it out with anyone, other than Nupur, who hardly listens, but rushes to draw her own conclusions. But seriously, today was stretching it a bit far - she doesn't even think to ask him even once why he disappeared suddenly, especially when she knows that Bui discovered that evening he wasn't Babloo - okay, that had nothing to do with his disappearance, but she doesn't know that! And after his extremely romantic speech just before he left her, and his almost declaration on the terrace the night before that, why does she not think even once that she should at least confront him and ask why he led her on so much? Same with Mayank - he's wondering why she said they broke up - doesn't think even once that maybe she didn't see his letter?
No, CV's - this is stretching it like old chewing gum - you need to do a bit better. Unless the whole idea is to show how wrong a love story can actually go when you rush into love and there is no communication and meeting of minds. Well, let's see where they take it - illogic is beginning to get unbelievable here, even for a drama.
