IN A NUTSHELL #1 - Page 13

As I have said before, life is a series of successive moments and each moment is a lifetime.

That moment Mayank removes that red dupatta from across Nupur, her face and being, that one moment encompasses many lifetimes and is worth many more.

It is as if he is asking her to remove that 'parda' between them, that distance and barrier. The song is about the closeness of two souls not merely 'do jism' or 'do jaan.' He seeks to be as close as the companionships of nature, which thereby adorn each other in their own lights, which thereby imbue each other in their own beauty and which thereby become dependently independent; two and yet one. Each line, like from 'Jitne paas paas saagar ke lehar' becomes like 'Saagar ki Lehar' like 'Mayank ki Nupur'; the melody of their moving, their entwined embrace; his earthly hold and hold over her ethereal freedom, his mighty restraint and resignation towards her wildness.

It is also as if he is asking her to remove that 'veil' that is preventing her from seeing the truth of his being, that he is in love with her, enamoured, enchanted and endeared, forever.

It also reminds me of that moment in Khuda Jaane, that 'hatke' act as she passes her hand over his 'aching' face 'yeh tumhe na jaane kya hua.' [That is another moment, another piece :P]

However for me, this moment is about haya, Mayank's and Nupur's, the translucent 'RED' duppatta. Mayank never reaching out to touch, any other, against Nupur's carefree touch of friendship upon any that would offer; yet both understanding the intimacy of belonging to another's heart, but first they must relinquish their willful stubborn attachment to independent independence. It is not about personal gratification but about closeness to his beloved, wanting her to seek that closeness too; BUT alas for their haya, that pull of respectfulness, that bashfulness at intimacy.

It is also about him asking her to remove that rosy red emotion of haya, to look him in the eyes, to witness the sincerity of his love, AND by that love to move closer to him, his soul and his heart.

He is asking himself too, to remove that haya that is between him and his love, for in truth he knows that neither of their hayaa would allow for them to move closer, but someone MUST take the next step, AND it must be him NOT only because he was the first to understand their own truth, but because he was her lover.

U know I love the practicing dialogue scene of Rangeela :-)

the way he doesnt eat..then the pet mein chue kabbadi khel rahe hai dialogue 😆

ahh I had and continue to have a hectic day...this was such relief to remember!:)

my comment for this pic hmmmmm

mohit: i thought the party theme was black, i cannot believe i am wearing this shirt

arjun: this is what happens when you hang out with someone who confuses green with red

not my usual self but i am pissed

anyway, sabah i replied in your thread, do reply and you know madhuri is back, she is hosting some show, are you watching it? here is an avi

did you know that madhuri and sanjay dutt used to date, i learnt this only recently, i was watching koffe with karan and KJ was asking asking questions like 'do you still love madhuri' ''what would you do if you are stuck in an elevator with her'' and he is like 'i still love her' quite some shocker. KWK has all the ingredients of a commercial bollywood potboiler i swear.

that kuch kuch hota hai topic you posted was very good, it has potential to be a great discussion topic, but as usual people got offended, why did you not post on it? you and divz could have copy-paste what you wrote here. i agree with phoenix member though, love is a very broad concept, it is everything affection admiration comfort level and physical attraction as well but lust is differnt from love, i still think rahul had more of lust than love for tina *shrugs*

my IF story is not as good as your or divz. like i said, i watched mjht from day 1 and always been an MN pankha, they were going good but everything went down-hill post confession, first the horrendous date song then MN play locket-fetch, then came the jail track and nothing substantial for MN. i was looking for mjht website to see if it had some info on them and then came across IF. there was feedback section at that time, i skimmed through it, there was a fight going on, apparently MN fans asked for khabar nahi but it was being played for SG. but i also saw that there were some pretty good discussions were going on and i decided to keep visiting
