By the end of 6th episode the families are getting more & more entangled. Also I now know how many members are in a particular family. The bonding is stronger for four & the fifth ie Father & son who shifted later to this street or lane are a bit different. The child is quiet & has lost his mother at a very tender age. He is a champion of the Go game & has earned in millions by winning at it. He is a whiz with the rubix cube & handles it with extraordinary ease. But when it comes to mundane things he is a loser. He is unable to put on his shirt buttons.

Gradually the love triangle is taking shape, but who is finally her husband remains to be seen. After 30 years just by looking at the pair it is not possible to guess. The treatment given by the family is prejudiced but she does have her moments. The field trip where she loses her camera,totally forgets about it. It remains in her seat when she leaves the train. The wine bottle that she is supposed to hide & give when asked remains on the table at a snack bar.

The guest appearances of the grandmas visiting has been handled so well. The personalities of each individual is brought forth. The lone mother who has lost her husband is trying hard to bring up a teenager & a small kid. The mother-in-law blames her for eating her son. Isn’t she a widow today trying hard to lead a normal life? Then her mother is not dazzled by the show she puts up for her to believe she is well off. Isn’t she a mother? I failed to understand why put up a show? The mother realises & puts an envelope in the bathroom & advises her to buy some good clothes! So like a mother.

The unrest among the students, protests,student unions,jail all so similar to the times & with all the student population anywhere in the world!The pangs of growing up & the apprehension before going to college is also the same.
