Friends, my next VM is actually based on Dev and Radhika of CB1. This is one of the songs I really like, but it was fitting Dev/Radhika of CB1 instead. It uses Hemant Kumar's beautiful song "Yeh raat yeh chandni phir kahan" from the movie "Jaal".

Neerja, first of all thanks for downloading some of CB1 episodes. A lot of episodes from 2009 are not available anymore online. So I just relied on your videos for my VM.

I did want one more episode but couldn't find it. But the scenes between Dev and Radhika in CB1 used to be so long and full of emotions that I could make this VM in a very short time.

I have titled this VM "A Lover's Call". It is based on a poem by Khalil Gibran. The words fit characters of Dev and Radhika. I have not included the full poem, but have just included verses that fit Radhika the most. Radhika in CB1 was so bound by her needless obligations that she had hard time breaking free of them. Dev of CB1 was very patient and had unconditional love for Radhika. She did sacrifice him and their relationship to pay her debts to that selfish family. So the highlighted lines reflect Dev's hurt the most.

A Lover's Call (Khalil Gibran)

Or are you in your chamber where the shrine of
Virtue has been placed in your honor, and upon
Which you offer my heart and soul as sacrifice?

Oh companion of my soul, where are you? Are you
Praying in the temple? Or calling Nature in the
Field, haven of your dreams?

Do you have memory of the day we met, when the halo of

You spirit surrounded us, and the Angels of Love
Floated about, singing the praise of the soul's deed?

Remember you the trails and forest we walked, with hands
Joined, and our heads leaning against each other, as if
We were hiding ourselves within ourselves?

Where are you now, my other self? Are you awake in
The silence of the night? Let the clean breeze convey
To you my heart's every beat and affection.

Where are you, my beloved? Do you hear my weeping
From beyond the ocean? Do you understand my need?
Do you know the greatness of my patience?

In this VM, he is trying to make her understand that the life is too short and precious to be wasted on needless sacrifices and that the time wasted would only result in regrets later on. She is tempted, but is still hesitating. In the beginning, she is seeking him when she thinks he has left her. Then she goes back into her shell when he comes back for her. But in the end, there is some thaw and there is hope that she would finally break free of her obligations.

Friends, here is my next VM. I am actually in a middle of another VM. But this song was coming to my mind for few days and I ended up making this one. This one was fairly quick to make as I only used very few episodes for this and didn't have to edit that much.

Rajsri/Misti: Hope you like this VM as it shows Dev's raw emotions. I have used couple of parts from the first part of this VM in my other VMs. But here I have used almost entirely the whole scene. There was another scene that I wanted to use. It was after Radhika returns Dev's ring and he is sitting in his room like a statue. It was a 3 minute sequence but I got about 20 seconds of Dev's scenes because each frame had another character. But I wanted to use this scene because Avinash had done a really good job in this scene. Wish they had kept camera on him for a longer time.

This VM is titled "Dev's Grief" and is based on Talat Mahmood's song "Sham-e-gam ki kasam" from the movie "Footpath". "Sham-e-gam" means an evening of grief.
