I cringe every time that kid speaks. The angraizee bolne kee baimaree that has been inflicted upon our kids by their parents sighhh. It's funny but so many adults i meet insist on speaking in "tootee phootee english" with their kids (chahey khud urdu bhee na bolni atee ho ). I have no problems with people conversing in english etc since it's the need of the day. but why forcefully speak in english all the time??? you aren't doing your kids any favor making them an alien in their own country!
and don't even get me started on the fake accents!!!!! when i started studying at Carnegie Mellon University, I was so pleasantly surprised to see that most indians with me had INDIAN accents, most chinese could barely converse in english! but they all got admitted into the best graduate degree program in the world for IT. I wish I could have them meet the pseudo modern aunties from Pakistan.
No one complained about the breakfast bit :s that was actually cute! what was weird was how Qavi started complaining that she didn't love him as much as she loved the kids, like a jealous kid competing with siblings for mommy's love. It was a combination of the dialogues and the way he said it, like a naraz 5 year old. bleh!
A lot of older men and women start acting like young kids after a certain age. I felt that was actually showing a quite realistic portrayal of a man who after AGES has come to realize how wonderful and loving his wife is, and becomes jealous of anything or anyone taking that time away from him. I rather smiled when he said "mujh se zayda qeemti cheez aap ke paas iss ghar mein hai kya", and when he goes all the way to Pindi to buy cheesecake for her. Probably a little too late for Durr-e-Shehwar because she wanted this kind of attention when she was in her 20s rather than her 60s.

Very true and that is the purpose of those scenes I believe, and that is very close to reality in our culture....seen it happen a lot, very interesting and different storyline, let's hope the execution of it does justice to it. Right now the scenes tend to drag and get repetitive.

yeah I have seen it both ways. Either the empty nesters realize that they really don't care for each other and amicably separate or they sort of end up falling in love with each other all over again.

EErrrrr.. it's never too late ... mager ho tooo ;) ...
wooah umaira portrayed men psych. very well...
wow that is the strangest comment that I've heard. Making breakfast for your husband and waking him up in the morning qualifies as a mother/son relationship? You must not know or have met very many married couples who are empty nesters and do rely on each other as husband/wife and not as children relying on their parents :-)
Um, you know what I find strange? The fact that you so quickly jumped to the conclusion that I'm basing my opinion on things like making breakfast, waking up your spouse, etc....LOL....and the same goes for those who have concurred with your response to my original post.
There is nothing wrong with either a man or a woman making breakfast for their spouse, waking them up, taking care of them when they're sick, ironing their clothes, cooking for them, etc. Dooree got it right. It's strange that a husband should compete with his children for the love of his wife. I've even heard of people competing with their spouse's parents/siblings for their love. It IS childish either way. One's spouse and children are two completely different relationships.....the dynamics are different.....it's like comparing apples to oranges. Sure, you might argue that bhuraapay main sometimes a person acts like a bacha or with bachpana or like a "young kid".....but again....it only emphasizes the point that it's childish/bacha-like behavior and that's what you'd still be acknowledging with such reasoning as you have in post # 83.
Just because you feel that "a lot" of people act a certain way when they approach a certain age....doesn't automatically make that behavior healthy or right or attractive. It's typical for many two-year-olds to thrown themselves down and beat their fists against the floor when they don't get their way. It's "typical" behavior....but it's not considered good or right or healthy...and sound-minded parents will try their best to encourage more appropriate and socially-accepted behavior in their kids. After all, Dur-e-Shawar is "older" as well....but she doesn't compete in this way. I hope that I've cleared things up for you.

You had stated that it was more like a mother-son relationship to you which was gross. I merely stated that men and women become childlike when they get older and it is a pretty realistic portrayal of that age. I wouldn't go as far as comparing a husband-wife relationship to a mother-son relationship and add a weird and gross angle to it :) Durr-e-Shehwar or any other women in her 60s is not going to set out and try to change her husband now when he's set in his ways. Again I was commenting that the portrayal is realistic. I am not saying that it is healthy or should be encouraged. I was just disturbed by your gross angle to it which I still am.
today’s episode was ok. I missed the older DeS who will be back next week
What’s up with Sanam Baloch wearing quite a bit of makeup even when hanging around the house. She looked pretty but it was unnecessary to be dolled up all the time.
Good job with creating the ambiance of the 70s.
Just saw the latest episode, so slow paced, but atleast things are moving along now... And what is it with these child stars.....all of them are so wooden and expressionless. Cant stand sophie :s
I do think this drama is worth watching. So far I like it more than Mata e jan hai tou. The cinematography and direction are quite good. This may be one of Haissam Hussain's better works.
Today's episode was TORTURE!!! 15 minutes of non-stop bickering between a couple. OMGGGGGG. TORTURRRRRRRRRRREEEE!!! it was extremely draining ! like watching two ppl fight in real life. would have been more effective if it had been more spaced out, rather than showing all their fights in one go. I have a migraine now!
I enjoyed today's episode. I believe it was effective to show Haider and Shandanas releationship . I really do like this drama. If it continues at this pace it will be one of Umera Ahmed's better drama. Great acting by all except for the little girl, Sophie.
I agree Dorree too much of the fight scenes back to back. It made me the latter half of the episode. They should have saved some scenes for later episodes.
Overall though I still enjoyed it because I am loving the character of DeS being played by Sameena Peerzada. She TOTALLY owns it!! It goes to show what marvelous actors we have in the industry if given the right roles.
