Week 55 - Discovery

The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new things, but in having new eyes to the same things.. One of the best time pass for me with kids is to look up at the clouds and try to spot different shapes and pictures in it! If you have not already done it, try to do it.. its really fun! πŸ˜„

Dev and Sonakshi have long given up on each other, or so they think. They have bottled up so much love and hate, so much patience and frustration, so much ease and anger for each other in the last 7 years! Whatever happens now, is only a result of all those unexpressed emotions.. I personally love how the change in them is gradually occurring instead of a filmy "boom" way!.. its almost just like how it happened the first time πŸ˜Š The only difference is that, at first, it was a new feeling and now its a familiar feeling, yet seems magically new πŸ’“ The 7 years have brought so many changes to their personality.. because of the pressures of life and family and because of the stress of having to deal it all without each other..😒


They are both in a new zone now - their own zone.. Time has changed them a lot and they are not the same at all. But, the summer camp has paved way for them to look at themselves and at each other with a new set of eyes.. The kids bring a new dimension to it. The whole week was very enjoyable... and I wish the camp can go on for a long time! 


The week started with the beautiful rain sequence! Sonakshi thinking about the old times made the moment even more beautiful and our favorite old soundtrack topped it all πŸ˜Š Sonakshi saw the Dev that she had discovered 7 years ago still in tact! But Alas! has she changed? Even the thought of her becoming a moody rude person like the old Mr.Dixit, was so strange to her to accept that she wanted to quickly snap out of it and gave her hand to dance with Dev! A familiar touch, a familiar ease... its only natural that they got lost in thoughts πŸ’– It was a beautiful moment of rediscovering themselves! πŸ’‘ The actors, as always, only outdo themselvesπŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ» Even though the inspiration of the basket ball and rain dance comes from my favorite "Kuch kuch hota hai", I must admit that the charm of Kuch Rang pyar ke aise bhi is unique and admirable πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½


Who would think that Mr.Dixit, who hardly knew to fold his handkerchief will graduate to make a Kaada? Dev's quick thinking, Ishwari's recipe, Miss.Sharma's assistance in kitchen, and Technology's help - all made the making of Kaada possible! I quickly jotted down the recipe myself, as it seems to have super magic power πŸ’ͺ🏼😁 One of these days, I hope Ishwari will also share the recipe of Besan ka halwa and her signature Kachori..if at all she gets some time off from Radha rani!


Talking about Ishwari - She mentioned one of the beautiful life lessons for parents that day... Parents are not born parents..they only learn over time. Its so true that they, in fact grow with kids and learn from their own mistakes!! Every kid is different and therefore every parent has a new lesson to learn. It looked to me that her own advice to Dev sparked a thought in her mind... I wish she would introspect on her mistakes...of being over possessive and not allowing another girl in Dev's life... Ishwari spoke about how parents are always anxious whether they are spoiling the kids by giving too much love..or hurting them by scolding more.. 100% true words.. we never know what is right..we constantly learn from our own mistakes..How I wish, she will look at herself and her son with new set of eyes and step aside for Sona and Suhana to get into her son's life... After all, Ishwari is the woman and mother, who brought up her kids single handedly and was the reason for Dev's success. She was the woman that Sonakshi admired and respected!! She is basically a good human being.. But why does she fail to realize the injustice done to Sonakshi? Up until this moment, she only considers Sonakshi as an enemy in her and her son's life. Sona had always respected Ishwari and was longing for her love and in return all she got was only Ishwari's hatred! Completely unfair.πŸ˜’πŸ˜’


Seeing mother-in-laws like Ishwari and father-in-laws like Bijoy, I often wonder if today's "nuclear family" set up is because of the intolerance of the younger generation or because of the interference of the older generation.. πŸ€”


Back in the camp, Sonakshi discovered a new Dev that day.. A Dev that she always wanted to see...A man who is not dependent on anyone for anything. Dev's kitchen skills is just one of the things that took Sonakshi by surprise. Dev's adept way of convincing his daughter to drink the Kaada with his magical superpower story was lovely ❤️😲  The experience Dev had with bringing up Golu has reformed him into a "Dad" even without becoming a dad.


Sonakshi was obviously impressed with Dev.. and the moment of the silent awkwardness was there! It reminded me of a time, long ago, before their marriage when Dev was telling Sona that this moment of "silent awkwardness" will never come in their life, as they can talk anything they want πŸ˜’πŸ˜’  Nevertheless, for us fans, even those few silent seconds were enough to have an "Awwwww" moment!


Just like the rain dance, the dumb charades was also a reminder to me of the old times.. Who can forget the epic "Titanic" pose? Dev has really changed you see! He could sign "Dil chahtha hai" with just a single act.. and crack the "I love you" with just the first word!! And the awkwardness continued...But it definitely paved way for the resistance to reduce and be able to atleast tolerate the presence of each other around...😊


Golu and Soha also got to see a new side of Dev and Sonakshi. Apart from the fact that the kids did exceedingly well, I want to stop and congratulate the makers for keeping the kids as kids πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½ Because of the exposure of TV and movies, kids these days know a lot more than we used to know as kids. But still, its really good to see Golu and Soha asking the just right questions in the just right kiddish way and I also love how Dev and Sona answered them with the appropriate yet close to reality answers! 


Dev's "I hate her" was more emotional than Sona's "I am sorry Soha..but your mom and dad cannot live together!" But, we know that Dev has always been the more emotional of the two. And therefore, the "I love you" from the dumb charades was still lingering in his mind and this was the only way for him to get over it!!


The snake episode that followed gave a newer outlook of Dev and Sona to the kids and also to themselves!


I am dead scared of snakes, just like Dev. Just writing about it now, makes me want to look around the floor to check whether there is anything near my feet..πŸ˜’πŸ˜’ But thank God for the comedy track!! πŸ™πŸΌ


"Dads are most ordinary men turned by Love into superheroes, adventurers, story tellers and singers" πŸ’ͺ🏼 - Dev was just an ordinary man who wanted his daughter to call him "papa" and more importantly wanted to make sure her daughter was safe and not threatened by a snake that night. And so, he let go of that fear for snake because his thought of not being there for Soha was more fearful for him.. Letting go of the fear for snake was something he probably never thought he could do! For some reason, it reminded me of the DevkiDeewangi part.. Then and now, he was naturally pushed by his fear of losing his love.. Then and now, he became blindly fearless and faced the storm. Whats different is that at that time, he was a victim of his emotions but now he has learnt to fight his emotions..  


The snake episode, not just brought out the fearlessness in Dev, but also brought out the possessiveness of Sona. Calling Dev Mr.Abhodro after a long time definitely touched the untouched part of Dev's heart! Only lovers can miss even the chiding of their loved ones!! Her running to rescue Dev definitely gave strong messages to the moms of the other kids..:)


After a very long time, I laughed so hard that day for every moment of Dev and Sona in that room with the snake!!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚  Finally, Ex-GKB did something that I can give her some credit for!! Shaheer and Erica have great chemistry in their comic timing as well!!πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½


The familiar touch and familiar ease continued... Familiar acts are just beautiful in Love ❤️ I read in some fan's comments that if only these two are left alone for sometime, they will figure it all out. Very true.😬


The new side of Dev, Sona and even the kids definitely came out this week. But it looks like GKB will always remain the same!! Her interference in Saurabh's fiancΓ¨ was the typical GKB we have been seeing since the beginning!! Saurabh and Ronita are really cute and I like this couple a lot. I hope that whatever happened this week does not affect their relationship.. For a change, I liked Bijoy when he confronted the Dixit family and put in front of Ishwari the black as black! And I also loved how GKB got exposed to Ishwari!  Atleast with the arrival of Soha, the Bose family's existence is getting some acknowledgement from Ishwari!!


I wonder how long will Radha rani keep influencing Ishwari or I should rather put it as how long will Ishwari be influenced by Radha rani? For as long as you are ready to get fooled, people who fool you, will not cease to exist! Its only upto Ishwari!! And "Keeping Sonakshi away from the Dixit home" project which was scrapped 7 years ago, was reopened again this week - thanks to GKB's stirring skill and Ishwari's insecurities!


While this is happening in Ishwari Niwas, the 2 young flawless souls asked the stars to somehow get Dev and Sonakshi together so that they can all live under the same roof...❤️ Little do they know the difference between good and evil. Neither do they know the wicked intentions of the elders!! The kids bring out the flavor of innocence, the innocent flavor of Love to Dev and Sona's relationship. These 2 kids are extremely cute and are acting extremely well! I am on "TeamGoluSoha" and will support all that they wish for πŸ˜Š


The dialogue writers of this show get 5 stars this week, especially for the Friday episode! Extremely profound dialogues!! πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Jab hamara bheega rishta bhi nafrat ki aag mein jal gaya..toh ye lakdiyan kya cheez hai!"
"Rishte todne se ehsaas nahi katam hota hain.."
"Aur kuch log, buri yaadon ke saath jeena seekh lete hain"
"Haq apno ko dete hai.. jo chod ke chale jate..unhe nahi"
"Aur main toh tumhari apni kabhi thi hi nahi"
"I hate you!" "I hate you too!"
--- just to list a few...

The historical "chalne ki thameez nahi hai tho" dialogue came back again, but with a role reversal - symbolic of Dev being the cool dude now and Sona the Ms.Abhodro? Dev has made a fence around himself and within it, he doesn't allow anyone. He has taken a "Cool dude" avatar for the last 7 years!! But he cant fool Sonakshi with this Avatar. She can see through that and feel the pain that he is in, because she is also undergoing the same pain that he is experiencing..

What became clear that night through the beautiful dialogues was that - Sonakshi has learnt to withstand that pain by becoming a rock. Dev has learnt to reduce the effects of the pain on him, by developing a false bravado and quick wit for things around him. But this pretension of the two is only for the outside world... Even their "I hate you" sounds like "I love you so much!" ❤️πŸ˜πŸ˜„ 


But in that solitude of the night, this fence broke be it for a for a few seconds as they relived their old selves.. calling each other with the same fondness they had 7 years ago - only to be shaken by the reality too soon...Shaheer as Dev and Erica as Sonakshi have gone into the skin of the characters they are playing and any amount of admiration and praise they get is only less πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


One question that Sonakshi asked that night was profound! Dev now wants to stand up and fight for his rights on Suhana. Had he stood up and owned Sonakshi 7 years ago and not let her go so easily... theirs would also be one happy family! Sona hit the hammer on the nail head with this remark.. Dev had always been the overly possessive sort of lover and husband. However, when it mattered the most, he did not show that possessiveness. A wife gets into a marriage with the strong trust on husband that he will stand by her and protect her in the new territory that she is entering, leaving behind her parents. Its a big let down for a woman when her husband asks her to leave without any further discussion...Its like letting go in the middle of a big ocean! It breaks her morale and self confidence down and it takes a very strong woman and a very long time, to collect herself up and march forward in life. Sonakshi went through this because of Dev. The 2 flashback scenes that were flashed to Dev were the apt ones that clearly pointed his mistakes to him! And he did not have any answers for her, except to stop and divert the discussion. She did it alone all along and does not need his hands now.πŸ’ͺ🏼πŸ’ͺ🏼πŸ’ͺ🏼


At the end of the week, Dev and Sonakshi definitely have started perceiving themselves and each others differently.  Will this subdued anger reduce their repulsion and allow them to talk more in the coming weeks? The precap seems very promising. Suhana is making the right moves for getting her mama and papa to reconcile. A friend told me after Soha said "I can live with you only if you both live together", what if she added "Agar, main aisi wali beti hoti tho!!" πŸ€”πŸ€”

I  Hope not πŸ˜„

And my wish is that Dev and Sona should get together because of the love they have for each other, not just because of Suhana..I love Suhana, no doubt. But I Love the Love of Dev and Sonakshi πŸ˜„❤️ and I want that to live on for eternity!

  1. What a brilliant reliv!!
    Agreed to every bit of what you feel especially that you remarked about Ishwari's parenting and your wish that she should have been magnanimous enough to accept Sonakshi. But I shudder at your suggestion that Ishwari should share her halwa receipe as well as that of her signature dish, also her nickname, 'Kachori ' God forbid that she does it. The very name of these two dishes makes me want to puke. I now so much associate Ishwari with these dishes that I hate them as much as Ishwari. That's the power of hatred and the power of Supriya mam' acting prowess. Iam scared that I shall start hating Supriya mam too, because of Ishwari.
