Pandian Stores — Sep 17, 2020

An episode that could have been condensed in 2 minutes was telecasted for 20 minutes🙈Since I am still reminiscing from the baby-birth-feel-good episode, I am just letting it slide and will record my findings 😇

The new norm of life is not just scary but at the same time very fascinating😊The hospital sequence was more of a revelation to me among everything else. With the current situation, I am aware of the precautions one needs to take but have wondered how the hospitals are accommodating to this change, especially in India when it is known to be the breeding ground for germs🤷‍♀️

PS team definitely has done a neat job of educating their viewers and positively highlighting the hospital atmosphere. Use of masks, safety dress, doctor repeatedly warning the family about the consequences of the virus without sending them to a state of panic, although Dhanam made sure she overreacted when unnecessary, was all an eminent directorial finesse👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Keeping the baby in an incubator but not calling it a pre mature baby was a brilliant move. But what I am struggling to understand is, technically 9 months is 36 weeks which is considered full term in the history of medicine. And 2.2 kgs is not all that low weight for a new born. So why incubator with tubes 🤔To top it, 15 days in the hospital seemed a little exaggerated and poor research by the creative team😐Again, since I am still on a trance state, I am letting taking this off my radar 🙂

Jeeva was taken to visit the baby only right ? Does safety dress come with goggles 🤔Those goggles made him look more like a scientist entering his lab to experiment an unknown bacteria/virus that has taken many lives🤷‍♀️. I have seen my kids wear this during their archaeological visits at a dinosaur museum. If this is a part of the safety protocol, then pardon my ignorance🙏🏻

Moorthy’s stern warning on the picture and then requesting to see it over and over again with the merriment was a pleasure to watch❤️❤️

The family getting ready to pay the hospital a visit was another wisecracking gesture. Isn’t the family aware of the current trend ?🙄Infact 60+ senior citizens with preexisting conditions are those who are at the most risk🙄Ivlo paathu paathu panra PS team, Lakshmi amma excite aagi kalambi ukkandhurukaradha madhiri kaamichadhu konjam nerudal dhaan. Maavu mill ukku poi arisi arachuttu varadhukku andha scene..ennamo velila ponaale aabathu ngra madhiri scene potta Kannan, modha aala kalambinadhu, and getting upset even after K reasoned out was very contradicting. Instead if he had said “Yes, that makes sense” he would have scored better. Portraying him with the immature outlook is getting tiring🤦🏻‍♀️My 9 year old knows better.

Taking care of Meena ….why is dhanam getting volunteered ? 🤔What does she know about baby care and new mother care ? Dhanam, you may be a great cook but cooking for a new mother is a different genre. Adhukkunu oru pakkuvam irukku and more importantly it goes hand in hand with the patience that only a mother can tend to. Neenga porumaiyin signaramaave irunaga but taking good care of a new born and the mother is out of scope for you. Ideally, you should have passed the baton yourself to Meena’s parents…appidi panni irundheengana innikku inga we would have sung praises for you 🤷‍♀️! Please take off the know-it-all shield and wear the right-minded shield atleast for some time in the show. Genuine request.🙏🏻

Didn’t M say that she has already cooked and packed when the family was waiting for the car ? Was that breakfast ? Am asking as in the sequence that followed, there was again a spread of vegetables that she started cutting…adhaan oru chinna confusion.🤪

Kanna’s toy for the baby ….it’s a learning for me that when toys are safely stacked in a cupboard for an unborn baby inside a tummy, along. with the baby the toy will also grow in size/shape and form 🙂 That was just the nitpicking side of me in form today…not to be made a big deal 🙂

Curious to see how the following episodes on who holds the right on the baby/baby visit/how long Meena can stay at her parents’ house/when she should be coming to PS house will turn out to be..Girls with equally dominant fathers and fathers-in-law may have a excerpts from their lives played back to them in PS…I am looking forward!

Great work team….but if you can kindly change the pace from snail mode to at least that of a tortoise mode, you will have happy viewers🙏🏻❤️
