16/6 - Epi 122 ... Lessons for Today

Monday 16th June

Lessons for today ...

How to ruin a perfectly good romantic moment by remembering your mother-in-law ... by Paro baisa. In two parts ... a) in bed ... b) in bedroom.

Tea should be made and served ... but never drunk ... by Rudra Pratap Ranawat.

How To Run Away from home Successfully ... by Mala Ranawat

How To Run Away from Home Unsuccessfully ... by Mohini Ranawat.

How To Be Angry under all Circumstances ... by Rudra Pratap Ranawat.

Ironic that the two people because of whom Mala left , the two people who expressed their hatred for her return, are her two closest blood relatives, her sister and her son.

Kostin 1 - Can someone explain to me why on earth Paro stopped Mohini from leaving the haveli? It would have been good riddance to bad rubbish, I say!

Corollary to kostin 1 ... how much does Paro know about what happened the night before? Or rather, about what happened twenty eight ... or twenty nine ... or thirty years ago? Did Danveer tell her everything? In which case ... see kostin 1 above.

Precap ... the separations in this show are never of long duration. Rudra Paro's separation lasted all of two and a half episodes ... Mala running away and being found has lasted barely one.

I loved the Parud moments ... why the heck did Paro have to spoil them by remembering Mommy Mala?! Paro, sweetheart, I love you a lot ... but your timing leaves much to be desired!

*edit - forgot to mention Sumer banna ... the guy has his priorities straight ... mom, decide whether you're running away or not, I'm not carrying these heavy bags up and down while you do your drama! 

EDITED ... with a more serious update ...

The episode was good, well balanced between family drama and romance ... finally we get some romance!!!

Paro ... trying her best to do a balancing act ... she is the complete woman ... wife, daughter, bahu of the house, struggling to hold a family together ... even the people she doesn't much care for or trust ... only because Kakisa is also family, is a wife and mother ... and she has heard her story too. 
And of course, her unrelenting efforts to heal her husband ... he can scream and shout that he hates his mother, but when he is affected enough to call out his mother's name in his sleep, Paro knows the hate is only a cover for something else. And she pushes him again ... go talk to her. Because she knows, he needs answers, and he will only get them from his mother. 

Rudra ... his anger was expected from the precap, but his subsequent melting was not ... and it was very welcome. He blows up at Paro as expected ... his first reaction is always anger ... Did he actually go to talk to his mother, as Paro said? But too late, she had left again ... and his first reaction is anger ... he knew it, this woman is not to be trusted, he told Paro that, she didn't listen ... and this time, it;s Paro who is hurt ... hurt the same way that he was, when his mother ran away the first time. In Paro's vulnerable, desperate eyes, he sees his own twelve year old self ... in her hurt, he sees his own ... he doesn't see Paro as another beautiful woman not to be trusted ... but instead, he sees her as another vulnerable soul, another hurt child, similar to the child he was twelve years ago. 

And this might be Rudra's turning point, I feel ... discarding the hatred, and allowing the hurt to surface ... recognising Paro's hurt, because that's what he felt too ... he wanted to find his mother and bring her back twelve years ago ... the way Paro wants to find her now. And maybe that's what prompts him to go hunt for her after all. 

Mala ... I felt for Mala today. She has made some wrong decisions in life ... maybe some were her own, some were forced upon her, and some she was manipulated into making. But she has paid for them ... the hatred of her own son is a huge cross to bear. She doesn't want to upset him further, when it seems he has found someone to heal him, someone to love him ... better for her to leave. 
And she loves her older sister too ... she is horrified at the extent of hatred that Mohini bears for her, she can't live with that, with the guilt Mohini has heaped on her shoulders. She leaves for Rudra's sake, and for Mohini's sake ... ironically, the two people with whom she shares the closest blood ties, are the two people who seem to hate her the most. 
(Of course, Rudra's hatred is only skin deep ... and Paro is peeling off the layers very quickly.)

Mohini ... we all have our problems in life ... its the way we deal with them that define us. Never had much sympathy for her, even on Friday ... today whatever little there was, evaporated. She will stop at nothing to fulfill her own ambitions ... be it the happiness and safety of her own flesh and blood ... her sons, her own sister. She is happy at having driven her sister away again ... and reclaimed her own position as chatelaine of the haveli ... what a woman!  That's all that matters to her. 

Danveer ... surprisingly, Danveer seemed least affected by Mohini's drama ... is that because he is used to it? Recognises it for what it is? Mala was afraid what Danveer had told Paro, what lies she could get away with ... When Paro said Mala left for Rudra and Mohini's sake, that was one story down the drain. Time to regroup and think of something else ... and also figure out how much exactly Paro knows.

    2. Dia... aapne tho Shwetha ki kami poori kar dhi. ROTFL moments. If I begin to think that Paro is the epitome of sacrifice, then Mala proves me wrong. Just loved Mohini's change of expressions when Paro says, 'waise bhi maasa ghar chodke chali gayi'. Not sure why Paro stopped her, but Mohini did take a very big risk of trying to leave the haveli. But it paid off in her favour. Will have to wait and see if Rudra has really found her. Or he might just tell that Mala has been found to make Paro come home. Now that things have really got out of control, Rudra has to know about his parents' past. Leaving out all the rofl moments between Paro Rudra, the guy seems to have toned down his anger to a great extent. Initially, he was angry (well, I don't blame him!) with Paro for reminding him about his mother when he was trying to romance her. And he broke the tea cups too. Teek hai... Chalega. But I think Paro is not completely wrong, when she asks his help to find Mala. Isn't Mala, a witness against Tejawat? So, finding Mala actually becomes his duty. Paro's reasons for searching Mala might be personal. But for Rudra, it is linked with his work. CVs.... not sure where this track is headed to. And where does Haila fit in the big picture? May be I should start reading IF posts to get more clarity.

      Btw, watched the sbs/sbb segments. They were lovely. So Rudra finally ties the Mangalsutra, huh? Can't wait to watch that episode.

    1. Rudra must be thinking ... damn, why did I have to remember my mother in the middle of the night?
      When he woke up from coma, he said Paro ... when Paro was right next to him, he had to say 'mommy'???!!

  4. Lol Dia - you are on a roll! Dekho Shwetha what happens when you are not here! Everyone is trying to compensate. Nice take Dia - and the SBS clip looks awesome. But it will probably air in 2 weeks :(

  6. And I love it Dia - awesome update. I felt bad for Mala too. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance. People are complaining that Mala just cries and does not say anything. I agree this is depressing and annoying to a viewer who watches for some relief. Maybe that is the way Mala is. Like Paro. In the beginning all that Paro did was cry. She did not feel she could say anything and that anyone cared enough to listen. Maybe Mala feels the same way. Thinking about it, who should she talk to? Her son hates her, her husband will not look her in the eye, her sister hates her with a vengeance. She owes Paro an explanation and Paro would probably listen and understand. But Paro herself said - she does not care what the reasons were for Mala leaving 15 years ago. Maybe she just needs to address the viewers;) Plus if they give away her story - what's left?
    I loved that the letter was addressed to Paro. Paro brought her to the haveli and so the letter was addressed to her.
    I also liked that Rudra calmed down. In both scenes - the one where she mentions Maasa and he jumps up and runs and the teacup cleanup. I like this approach better - it's how a lot of people react.
    Mohini is a drama queen. I have no sympathy for her.
    Suneheri's comment sounded so "blonde". Seriously I do not want her for Aman. He deserves someone better.
    Rudra should calm down and do his job - both Laila and Mala should be questioned and should be under BSD protection. Thank goodness Aman is there to pick up after him.
