Our Reunion Drama — The First Show I’m Watching Again

Drumroll please… 

Meri Zindagi Hai Tu!

Because, for the past couple of months, there’s been one YT short consistent in my feed, Meri Zindagi Hai Tu… I like Bilal, and I love Hania, even though I feel a bit saturated about her presence online. Their pair looks great together, and it has been thrust in my face so often, that I have to relent.

Interestingly, I have abandoned both dramas that starred Bilal Abbas: Kuch Ankahi after 11 episodes (because I couldn’t tolerate Sajal) was  Ishq Murshid  after 9 episodes (because I couldn’t tolerate Durre); and also ditched Hania’s Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa after 5 episodes (because I had a terrific idea for a novel and wanted to pursue it. I didn’t write novel, and I didn’t watch the drama. 

Na Khuda Hi Mila Na Wisal-e-Sanam

Yeh shayad aise hi mauqoN ke liye kaha gaya hai.

Let this be the first thing I watch after Qarz-e-Jaan, that’s the one I watched completely and then abandoned three others.

Funny thing about Meri Zindagi Hai Tu

I had drafted a few posts, y’know, add the poster, put a template in place so I can start reviewing without much cookie-cutter stuff. I searched for Meri Zindagi Hai Tu, so I can focus on only these posts. And I found an old draft dated October 2021.

So, it turns out, there are two dramas with the same title. I had probably started watching it, or watched it but have no recollection, and left it midway.

I digrses.

So, we’re watching Meri Zindagi Hai Tu starring Bilal Abbas and Hania Amir. It already has 18 episodes out. In the next few hours, the post to list all cast members with the characters they play, and episode-wise reviews will be available on this blog. Hopefully, we will be all caught up for episode 19.

Stay tuned for more. If there is some really awesome drama that you’d like me to watch, please do recommend. If you live in my city, drop by some time. We’ll discuss dramas and books over a cup of tea.
