Dil Hi Toh Hai July 20- July 24

Episode 25

Ananya is a sweetheart. I MEAN THAT’S MATURE ALRIGHT, initiating a patch up between these two kids who are too adamant. 

...bachpan se na iska koii dost nai banta tha, kyuki yeh HUMESHA se aisa hai. Itni si baat ko itna bada banane ki iski aadat hai

I love how Ananya never blindly sides with Ritwik just because he’s her friend.

OML. Is Kabir Rohit’s friend? Is Kabir Setu’s ex-husband? WHY is this world so goddamn small in telly shows?? I CANT >.<

Setu’s parents being worried made me realize once again how hard it is for people trying to start afresh. When it comes to women specially, blasts from the past don’t usually bring anything good. Why can’t people just leave us be </3

I’m assuming Ritwik will misunderstand the Vermas and Sharmas now because of what Kabir is telling him. Ugh.

OKAY SERIOUSLY ROHIT. AND ALL OTHERS WHO ARE TOO EXCITED TOO DANCE AT THEIR SHAADI AND READY TO GO TO HONEYMOON-- MARRIAGE IS A VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT EVENT IN ANY GIRL’S LIFE, SO IF YOUR PARTNER IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING DURING THE FUNCTIONS. PAY ATTENTION. LISTEN WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY EVEN IF YOU THINK IT’S SOMETHING MINOR. PUHLIIIIZ.

Setu. My goodness. I love a woman who can speak up when needed. At least you didn’t keep mum and become a blubbering mess when Kabir was hurling those accusations at you. Respect girl!

Oooh Palak giving it back to Ritwik like a bawws! These girls are on fire in this episode aaaah <3 

Main bataun tumhari problem kya hai? MAIN hu tumhari problem!

...ek din aisa aayega, jab tumhara dil tootega aur AISA tootega ke judd bhi nahi payega. I curse you Ritwik Noon!  

Okay. I’m sure Palak is saying all this out of anger. Their love story won’t really be cursed, right? Given that this is originally an ALT Balaji show, they can’t turn it into some epic love saga shit that goes on and on for an eternity where the leads drown themselves and wallow in self-pity and angst and heartache and never unite? Please, I have been bruised and battered by my OTPs so many times I can’t take it once more. Please okay dont.

The exchange between Palak and Setu hit so close to home man.

sara blame mujh par aaya. Pata hai kyu? Kyuki hum middle-class ladkiyan hai, aur woh rich hai...duniya ko sirf paise ka farak nazar aata hai, andar jo horaha hota hai woh kisi ko nahi dikhta

True Setu. True.

Episode 26

Rohit looks so broken. His voice, his face. Please rok do. Ugh stop my stupid heart. -______-

Setu is so mature. Gurl.

Ritwik’s mom is again screwing with his head, in his dreams. Even he himself realizes that kya ban gaya hai woh because of her. And it’s evident that deep down, he still yearns for his mom, hopes that she’ll be back to meet him, so he can vent and scream and let out all the agony and complaints he’s been holding inside. That Ritwik Noon whose mom left him when he was a kid...he never really grew up.

Seeing Rohit breaks my heart. I know this is getting repetitive. But seriously.

OMLOMLOMLOML ROHIT KNOWS WHAT PALAK DID WITH THAT MONEY! AND I AM TOTALLY DIGGING THIS ANGRY ROHIT BARGING INTO RITWIK’S HOUSE TO CALL HIM OUT ON HIS BS. Yeh mere baare mein kabhi tha hi nahi, yeh sirf aur sirf tere baare mein aur uss Palak ke baare mein tha. YES PLEASE SAMJHAAO IS NADAAN NASAMAJH GADHE KO.

Again, Mamta does a brilliant job in giving Ritwik a much-needed reality check.

Ajkhjksdhakjhdkahdjkajk Ritwik realizes he screwed up and goes to the airport to stop Palak from leaving for Mumbai.

Please mat jaao. 

Don’t go.

Please mat jaao.

Look at that guilt-ridden pained hopeless face (ignore his ugh hair). 

Haye. Ishh.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME. Well, this is UNDOUBTEDLY the first time he’s sharing his past with somebody outside of his family, and that too A WOMAN. This is such a BIG STEP FORWARD. I’m feeling at least 100 kinds of emotions rn DONT COME NEAR MEE.

PALAK’s VOICEOVER after Ritwik pleads again to stay back and help him fix things. I needed this alright. 

These two uff. Bickering in the middle of the road. Abhi kya bole bhai. But it’s also the beauty of the camaraderie they share nai? Just a while ago they were hating each other’s guts and now everything is back to being how it was before. Haye.

Waise bhi agar sab kuch mujhe hi karna hai, toh tumhe Mumbai jaane se kyu roka maine? Haan toh kyu roka? Khud hi kar lete sab kuch.

I think we all know why he stopped you Palak. Iss nadaan gadhe ko abhi thodi na samajh mein aani hai yeh baat. But audience is chalaak they got it.

Ritwik ACTUALLY WATCHED Hindi films to research and find out what to do in situations like these???? OML I CANT BYE

Episode 27:

Yeh Reeva maar khaayegi mujhse. What are you doing ladki? Ananya is so cool with everything and for the first time ever I’ve found a supporting love interest who doesn’t go all Komolika on any other girl her man gets friendly with. Why are you trying to poison Ananya’s mind with your chudailon wale opinions? 

Yeh Aman ka kya scene hai with Reeva? Usko kya kuch kuch hota hai??Tum nahi sajhogi Reeva hoing??

Ritwik to Aman: wannabe Saif Ali Khan. lol.

Everyone is bashing Ritwik for his ladki-uthaanewala plan xD

Ideas bure hai tumhare dost ke, par dil ka saaf hai.

Ishh.

Ritwik finds out about Palak’s deceased brother from Setu. I didn’t realize it would be brought up so soon, but perhaps it was needed for Ritwik to realize why Palak was so hell-bent upon not approving the medicine: it was personal, but not in the way Ritwik had thought.

Ritwik looking at Palak as she’s walking out of the gym canteen, and keeps looking, while my heart melts into a puddle. My bbz.

Ritwik indirectly asks Mamta for some advice. As always, I absolutely admired Mamta for the way she so realistically talks about choosing between relations and love.

Kabhi kabhi jisse hum pyaar karte hai usey naa chun na hi sahi hota hai...kyuki har ek ke liye uski zindagi ki sacchai kuch aur hoti hai

Mamta is like a rock to Ritwik, a lighthouse, and I feel that a big part of the humane side that Ritwik has comes from Mamta’s upbringing only. Ritwik knows he’s messed up, but out of everyone in his family, it’s Mamta who can bring out that piece of sanity in him, where he is compelled to think beyond his usual binaries of looking at the world.

SO. Ritwik drops by Palak’s house at the middle of the night. This is happening then. *pretending to be calm as a cucumber while insides become all mushy*

Ritwik sharing his genius plan with Palak, and looking at her hopefully, as if to get an approval that he is doing the right thing and his plan made Palak happy, for whom he originally planned everything in the first place. 

Isn’t it strange how this guy went from being I-dont-need-my-medicine’s-approval-from-that-measly-doctor to Aur tum?

Yeh bataane tum yahaan tak aaye? Phone pe bhi bataa sakte they.

Bhai abb phone mein woh baat kahaan rahi xD

Dante: So what time does the judgmental express arrive?

Reeva: Zak gets here at noon.

Pre pre race

Waw, it's been a while since cross ... I went to Tenerife after last cross race, you know, because everyone has to go to Canary islands to cycle, right? RIGHT? Fuck that shit, one night we got so drunk we lost a friend, he never made it home, we assumed he was dead ... I guess that's what happens if 5 shots cost 5 EUR AND you get a bottle of shit champaigne on the top ... #carbloading? So ... experiencd looking for a corpse with a massive hangover in weird piss smelling corridors under bars in party alleys. He was ok, he went to an afterparty with Norwegians. Fucking Norwegians ... Never planned to touch a bike that week, would probably punch it after .... also, beer costed 1 EUR. Ah yes, I was pretty fed up with bikes by that point, I counted 15 cross races and 13 road races from last season ... I should probably write a retrospective post ... By the looks of it I spend ... 28 days racing and ... at least twice that amount training, AT LEAST ... so ... FML ... wait, I have no life ... UGHHHH Come January I hooked up with a coach and this new super system called xert which has numbers and graphs and these projected values and shit and I started training again ... Indoors, in front of a fan ... soooo muuuuuch fun I like having a coach, I lack the discipline to be my own coach ... Ola, you the MAN! So January, February, Marchuary was a combination of 3 - 5 - 5 - 1, XSS here, XSS there ... What this means is: 3-5x hard session per week, rest, contemplate dying, train, rest, can one die from exhaustion, train, hate life, train, hate bike, train, recover, cook, eat, cook, eat, eat, WHERE IS MY CHOCOLATE??? Let's buy some chips ... I will totally start eating healthy when the season starts ... repeat Nothing new ... So I spend ... way more than 30 hours training in jan, feb and march ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In the meantime we shot a promo video for a company to earn some money for the kids in the club. See screen grab above ... we had fun ... At some point I get a VO2max and lactate threshold test, best numbers ever. I was in a shit mood tho, work got in the way that day, it got in my head, IN MY HEAD ... But then I also started riding outside, like ... well, - 130km with my cross bike in rain with dry chain lube (now THAT was funny) - 120km and 100km with my road bike - 1x lågtempo intervallen with klubben - 1x shitty attempt at solo intervals that resulted in my knee hurting and me feeling like shit for 2 days Ah yes, my knee started hurting on my bike, I guess the saddle went to shit ... Get paycheck, buy licenses (plural, this shit is real yo!), sign up for Slagelse, let the tension rise ... Shave legs, best 2 hours of the week ... Contemplate cutting hair, but after a comment from Glenn: 'Dude, I am losing mine, so you are definitelly keeping yours, I encourage long hair' I decide to keep it ... Stop by Musette and SLAM THAT STEM (thanks guys, you're the best) Avoid alcohol whole week, yeah right, stress at work, meet deadlines, amazing, have 2 beers on Thursday, friday night ... well, I had a hof after 3 alkoholfree beers, let's leave it at that ... Wait, are we doing the whole alcohol thing again this year? FUCK ...

Pre-race

Play this and read on ...

Plan

Plan before today: exchange in chasing down attacks, stay in front, don't attack unless it gets really booring Plan today: Jonte - I'm just gonna chill for the first 2 laps, me: DEATH BEFORE DNF, AARGGGHHHHHH, you're kidding Jonte, right?

Race

We start, I stay up front, good job Miha There is this huge ABC dude who is like all over the place, looking back, talking loud ... jerk, I hope you get dropped After first couple of rolling hills we enter into a big road and KANTVIND YES, I WAITED ALL FUCKING WINTER FOR THIS BRING IT OOOONN!!!!1! booom, attack, couple of riders go, I am in front of peloton, normal pace, waiting for Jonte to launch behind ... nope Pace picks up, I wait ... nope EVERYONE SPRINTING FUUUUUUUCK Chase, chase, chase ... ok, we're goood, contact regained Right turn, again, pace picks up, as we hit the first smaller climb attack, uphill, kantvid Left turn, kantvind, downhill, attacks keep coming, we're chasing, I am chasing for my fucking life here ... Jonte? Nope ... Random Swedish dude goes, for like 2 seconds ... Big road, kantvind, new break of 3 is like 15s ahead, I lead the pack, try to chase ... I tire myself out chasing and then everyone starts springintg again AGAIN ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? ... well, it was painful but I got back in pack, in the back Oh, there's Jonte ... (later, the xert graphs show it was like really painful, like, lines were crossing and shit ... amazing) Final climb - kantvind, attack again UUUGHHH Start-finish straight, kantvind, attacks again ... Lap 1 done Internal evaluation of the situation: This is gonna hurt ... Lap 2 mellows down a bit, but it's still fucking crazy in kantvind Big road, we're all over the place, avoind oncoming traffic by like 2cm just to have that wheel RANDOM RANT: Hey douchebag driver, I wonder if you would be so fucking brave enforcing your right of way against an oncoming truck in your lane. Or a tank. Or a plane ... Yeah?!? ... I thought so ... fucking arrogant cunt, fuck you ... I mean there is this downhill section with kantvind, we're going all out, really ALL OUT just to keep the wheel of the guy in front ... Insane ... Jettison an empty bottle just after the finishline #feelingpro Lap 2 done Notice Random Swedish dude is dropped, so is large ABC loudmouth ... haha Internal reevaluation of the situation: Well, actually, this is manageable ... ASS CRAMP FML At some point there is an attack and Jonte joins GO JONTE ... but we all accelerate, so they're caught Lap 3 is fun, we actually form a chasing group up front, we're 5-6 cyclist chasing a group of 3 that made it at some point I even shout a bit since people stop working after a right turn Mmmm, shouting at people ... By the end of lap 3 just before the climb noone wants to really pull, so ... little break, we're looking at eachother ... NOTE: last climb is a small road, so it's important how one is positioned, so about 2km to that intersection all hell breaks loose when people want to get into right position There we are, just looking at eachother ... and BOOOM, people start going, all over the place, chasing here, there ... I do a bit of too much effort, shoft to the wrong side in the wind ... Try to catch a wheel but everyone is zooming by, no gaps, no nothing 20 like riders pass me FUUUUUCK Chasing, chasing, chasing ... ok, contact Last climb, finish straight fast pace ... I'm dead ... I definitelly burned my last match there Internal reevaFUCK THIS SHIT, FUCKING WIN IT OR DIE Death metal song plays in head ... Last lap Plan - keep things under control, stay up front, whatever happens, stay up front ... It hurts, but I stay up front I slide back a bit on the big open road and BAM, CRASH, BIKES FLYING AND THERE IS A RED TREK COMING MY WAY IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII OK, AVOIDED Aftermath ... chase, chase, chase ... Internal thought: Maybe the DIE methafor was too much? Close every gap, EVERY FUCKING GAP Enter last climb, good position, all good, let's see if we can get the final attack in LEG CRAMPS I guess not ... Ease the pace, nicely get to the finish with another dropped dude

Post race

Dil Hi Toh Hai July 9-July 13

Episode 16:

Ritwik’s shock on realizing Manjeet is Palak’s mom is understandable. But I see something else too. His face when Palak is explaining how her mom is driving her nuts for marriage--is that disappointment? Sadness? Hopelessness? There’s something more but I can’t seem to put my finger on it.

Tumhe, ameer aadmi nahi chahiye?

Yaar kitni baar puchoge,...spoil me with love.

Sabko ameer aadmi chahiye hota hai.

Sigh. This guy has been scarred so deep, he keeps coming back to the same thing over and over again. In times like these, I can’t help feeling bad for the young Ritwik when his mom left him. If he’s still struggling like this with his past, I can’t imagine how devastating it must have been for him as a young kid.

Episodes 17-19:

WOW. I mean, WOW. I was afraid something like this would happen. Ritwik being Ritwik, he will take it out on Palak like this. Also, why are FLs ALWAYS put in a situation where they are forced to keep a big secret from the MLs? That’s all fasaad ki jad OH WHYYY

I can’t side with one in such situations and it makes me so mad urrghh. On one hand, that last scene in epi 19 made me feel so SO bad for Ritwik and I wanted to shake Palak and ask what she was thinking REALLY I MEAN!!! But one the other hand, I don’t think Palak had a better choice: she didn’t even know the Noons that well to realize the consequences of her telling/ not telling the truth before marriage. I’m torn. GHA >.<

One thing I absolutely loved: how maturely Mamta handled Reeva. Unlike pretty much every show where ALL the blame gets put on the bhagoda dulha, Mamta actually rebukes Reeva for her immature decision. Kudos lady.

Episode 20:

You know what? I like this girl Ananya. Idk what the future epis has in store for this character, but I can see her as this strong, confident lady who likes Ritwik but who also cherishes their friendship more than her feelings, and not in a I’m-secretly-pining-over-him way. Please don’t turn her into a vamp and/or mopey character. Let ONE supporting love interest on telly handle things maturely. It’s not too much to ask really. Please?

[mrinafria]

Dil Hi Toh Hai August 9th- August 24th 2018

This scene was so intense, the way the angst comes out is just UGHH.

I love Ananya. She is hereby my favorite supporting led in Indian telly. Please please please do not spoil her character.

Mamta is the only one taking this hit so smoothly. Even when Ricky is dumbstruck, Mamta tries to show him the way. She can see RIGHT THROUGH Ritwik despite the facade he puts on. Whoa. #Respect

Shivam-Ritwik post-gym convo. Palak bhabhi, matlab honewali bhabhi--this Shivam is already so onboard the ship 😂😂 

Yaar even Saanchi has more sense when she’s talking to Rishabh and Reeva. Iss show mein samajhdaari ka theka bas janaaniyon ne le rakha hain kya (with Reeva being the exception) 😂

Welcome to the most. awkward. flight. ever.😂

YAAAR ABHI PAPAJI KO BHI PALAK KI YEH PHONE WALI BAAT HI SUNAYI DENI THI??? ARGGH.

What is the reason behind Rishabh’s 180-degree transformation into this alter-Rishabh that I’m starting to hate really??? Ain’t he getting any?? Kya pareshani kya hain???

HE IS TRYING TO CREATE MU BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES INVOLVED FOR NO REASON WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM RISHABH WAAAT. ABHI TIME MILA TUJHE SIBLING RIVALRY KA SAALE KAMEENEY.

Palak’s confession and a totally weirded out Ritwik, surprised hearing her say all those things about him. ISHHH.

Ouch. This Noon-Sharma milaap went downhill very fast. :/

This filmy Ritwik is going to take some getting used to 😂

Mamta has always been the voice of reason in the Noon household, and with every episode, my respect for this lady increases exponentially. Kaash iss mein se adhi akal bhi iss VP ya Rishab mein aa jaati 

This new Manjeet is the same lady from the Kasam show right? She is very talented in making people hate her guts with her character. I never liked Manjeet but this lady is basically the desi version of Dolores Umbridge. There. I said it.

Reeva needs medical help. Seriously matlab. Muh pe koi kyu nahi marta iss bandi ke.

VP is being such a nakhrelu baap, baap re baap. 😒

THIS ANANYA IS SO PRECIOUS SO EFFING PRECIOUS. DONT YOU DARE RUIN HER FOR ME OKAY. I WANT HER LIKE THIS AND I WANT HER AND RITWIK’S FRIENDSHIP LIKE THIS THIS IS STUFF OF LEGENDS.

This conversation between Palak and Mamta is everything. EVERYTHING. 

How cute is this scene THOOO??

Ritwik Noon is so goofy in love, Lord. Baba shaadi toh hone de abhi se honeymoon ki planning?? Did you forget your villain baap, bhaai aur behen?😒😂

Yeh jalkukda Ritwik is so hilarious. He has a problem with the male tailor now too?? Buoy giving competition to all Indian telly male leads 😂😂

Iss Rishabh ko mere saamne se hataao koi yaar. THIS LAUNDA IS GIVING ME HIGH BP HATAAO HATAAO HATAAAAAO

I don’t know who I want to murder more: Reeva or Rishabh. Just. CANT.

AMAN FINALLY SPEAKS UP AND TELLS REEVA TO SUCK IT. I love you man.

Manjeet softening up? Idk man, idk.

This meeting is already sounding so ominous to me for some reason. So much foreshadowing, and now so much depends on it.
