SGP - Panna Inder

After ages, a scene on TV touched me enough to tear up - the Panna with family scene today in SGP. Especially the Inder-Panna parts - such a beautiful elder brother-younger sister scene, where Inder is so upset about his sister's marriage problems and Panna tries to be brave, yet finds so much solace in the comfort her big brother offers. Truly, having an older brother is an incomparable blessing - I thank God that I'm similarly blessed. Their scene brought back memories of my own childhood - the squabbles, the daily fights and constant teasing and the very real, very solid love that is the bedrock of this relationship. Thank God for older brothers - there's no one quite like them. The comfort and protection that one feels with an older brother is just incomparable - it's an unquestioned bond that can never break.

And again, the strenght of SGP is that the supporting cast is so good - the show is worth watching only for them. Ishaan is looking weaker and weaker as the main lead, but it doesn't really matter at all, because the other stories now hold sway. Inder-Panna were beautiful tonight, and the family scenes were lovely.

On the other hand, the second marriage bit is completely OTT and avoidable. Am waiting for the Sanjana-Deepak track to start - that will be far more interesting.
