hi Shona,

Thanks alot for the positive post. I was very upset yesterday i just logged off and tweeted Asish also saying i am quitting EMA. I am so addicted to this show i was restless from last night but after reading your post and after reading a post that kamala and raghav's mom will be attacked by goons, raghav and kalpi reaches there raghav beats them seeing kamala hurt. You wont believe i was so happy. I had completely lost hopes on CV but now i am relaxed i hope CV will not disappoint us. I really cant see raghav with paakhi no ways. Let any problem come how much ever big the issue is i want RagNa to be together in sorting out the issue. Raghav should never leave kalpi and he should not let kalpi leave him under any circumstances. If this happens i will be the most happiest person.

Thanks once again for this post.

Hello there!

Aww you're welcome. I know what you mean though. I feel like as fans, we are so connected to the characters that it's easy to upset us when there's something in the show that doesn't go like we want it to. Don't worry. I think that the CVs know that if they break RagNa then they would have a huge loss in audience, and the TRPs are already so low. That's why I don't think that they will do that - unless they are super big risk-takers (highly doubtful). Don't worry, they will sort things out and overcome obstacles together. Since it's a show, there will be things that we will like and won't like. We just have to let CVs do their thing and see how it unfolds. Hopefully everything would end fine. Thank you for a wonderful comment and for reading it!

Shona, exams will start in mid-April and extend till June first week! I know! These are entrances. So thats why I have to cut down IF. Hope yours went well! Poor teachers!😆
Agree! That part was indeed funny!
Will edit and add more later!

Wow, you're taking entrances? To Universities? Just curious. Good luck! My god, you're barely on I-F now and we would have to face that absence for at least two more months 🥺

I will miss your great comments and posts man! But I understand that studies are important. So, all the best for that. I hope to see you in full swing after two months though (hopefully I am still around by that time lol)

My exams were meh! Most of them were good, but the most important one was super bad and that was the last one too. So, left a bad taste in my mouth 😔 But it's alright, it's already over so I don't want to think about it.

See we are online at the same time!😆

Thanks for the wishes!

Yes, for college. If all goes well, I'll break the good news to you!😃

Ah exams...there are alway those papers!

What do you mean hopefully?😡

You better be around when I am back!⭐️ I'll miss it here too!😔

Nah! We never do want to think of exams just after they're done! Have fun now!⭐️

Oh dude, to have actually caught you online is surprising 😲

Yay for college man! Welcome to late nights waking up and multiple all-nighters. Welcome to always being stressed over the future and what to do next in line! I am so proud of you 🤗

And lol I meant hopefully because it's so hard for me to stay with a show. I will try to stick around because the people here are so beautiful <3

Plus, I am hoping that this show doesn't disappoint me too badly that I have to quit. But you know na? How unpredictable this show is? What if in two months, they already have marriage and bacche 😆 I will totally be out of here! So, make sure to drop by once in a while to check up on us 😉

Dude I am so done with exams and thinking about them. My classes restart next week so I have to start getting ready for that. I will still try to be active but I highly doubt I will be super active either 😕

PS - this comment makes me a Goldie lol

There! You're online while I'm typing this.

This is your first Goldie comment?😲

Congratulations!🥳

Keep making such amazing posts and become a dazzler soon!😃

I'll drop by to check out your brain-teasing posts maybe!😉

Surely, college is not that bad?😲 I am actually excited!😳

I know what you mean. I am yet to follow a show till the last episode, I am so choosy!

Oh lol Shreya, I think there's something wrong with I-F. It's showing I am online when I am actually not online. When you commented, I wasn't online. I was helping my dad with food 😆

But the good thing is that you came right? That's all that matters here 😃

And Yup, I was exactly at 1000 when I commented here. Thank you so much! 😆

Now I get more freedom to comment lol. Though I don't know if Senior members had a comment restriction because if they did then I never crossed it lol. I will try to stick long enough to become a dazzler!! Haha brain teasing? That's Shana's job! I just go with the flow and make sense where there's none to make myself happy 😆

Well, I guess college is great if you look at all the good sides but then there's always that bad side too. I honestly don't know how it is in India. I am guessing it's hectic just as much and demands just as much attention, if not more. So, yea I do think it's hard and exciting too. But good or bad is subjective so it depends on you. I was just trying to tease ya! You will be great, Don't worry 😃

Same here, the only show that I watched till the last episode was Rishtaa.com. Honestly, one of the best show that I watched. But it was very unconventional too. Hard to find shows like that. Hopefully EMA is one show that I stick to for real long, if not till the end. I definitely want to see you around again 😆

Hey Shona, Hey Shona.

I am going to blame Shreya for wanting to burst into this song every time I see your post😆 Sowwie.

Monday's episode had so much to discuss about. I maxed out time and energy reserved for an entire week on IF on Monday itself by the time you made your post.

The last few desi shows I watched were replete with in your face kind of symbolism. The forum waasis spent hours discussing them. Then more time discussing them again after it played out😛 Looking back, I feel silly at what I did especially knowing that I usually dont watch a show for long and its just not worth my time and effort. CVs just are not able to sustain quality enough to keep me interested for long.

The simplicity of this show is what appealed to me when I started watching this show. There were some symbolism and signs even before Holi but I wanted to overlook them and just enjoy the show taking it at face value. But the symbolism in the Holi episodes were too many and were hard to ignore. They are (symbolism in general) a whole lot simpler in this show going with the overall story telling.

I cracked up when I saw your post because it reminded me there is just no escaping symbolism in a desi show.

You have covered pretty much everything in your lovely post and the GIFs enhance the reading experience. There was only one thing I would have added but Aahana already posted the honor symbolism associated with the dupatta. Maybe could add that Kalpi is up there and Raghav will have to climb stairs/mountains to get to her and subconsciously Kalpi is expecting him to and waiting for him.

BTW - In my zeal to take it at face value, my first thought when I saw Kalpi backing up and Raghav going up the stairs, I felt she wanted some privacy while talking to him. If you notice people could not see her standing on the stairs and would not have known Raghav was in conversation with her. 😉

Today will be his first test. She retreats and we are all waiting and hoping he takes a step forward today or tomorrow.

Hey buddy what a lovely post, i've been meaning to make one for holi but i was lazy to write 😆 Also I don't know how to mak AVIs and without them the significance would have been lost, so thanks for making one, you even made Sherya to comment😉

The accident:

I was jumping up and down to see Akdoo Raghav back 😳 his total character change and sweetness was making me 🥱

Raghav's arrival:

I liked this allot inspite of its bollywood cheesiness with flying dupatta 😛 The scene had so many unspoken meanings and symbolisms. Kalpi was happy to see him & couldn't stop herself from flying down the stairs, the flying dupatta and seeing Rags walk towards her with intense smile made her scared & nervous which made her back track. She stopped and stood her ground to face Raghav to show him that her inner turmoil might be on overdrive but she still has the controls in her hand 😊 That was such a cute lil fight 😳 😳 Never thought Raghav could tease and Kalpi give him faltu attitude 😆 😆 It was like if you can give attitude, am not far behind 😉

Raghav's insecurities/the confession:

For a guy like Raghav Singhania its baffling to not get reply to his Q from anyone, especially girls. As he knows that they flock around him for his money,status,stylish demeanour & there is Kalpi who doesn't even give him ghass ( in Sammy's words ) 😆 It was the honest and most logical words in his mind which he spoke and I totally loved it for its simplicity 😳 😳

Though I felt a tad irritated with Kalpi not getting a chance to properly color Raghav the accidental & symbolic coloring by both mellowed me 😳 😆 Having said that I disliked Raghav's actions in the next episode 🥱

Adding more after the recent development 😉

Raghav with his insecurities & lonely childhood fell in love with Kalpi, he fought his best to not succumb but Kalpi dear crawled into his heart somehow 😳 😳 He fell in love, but he's more obsessed with Kalpi at this stage. He is new to these feelings and hence his literal stalking & pressuring Kalpi for reply As for Kalpi she's awed by Raghav's confession & his attempts to get close to her when she's time and again reminded him about the 'Zameen-Aasmaan ka farak'

Raghav needs to look at Kalpi's world without the tinted glass & yesterday we got a glimpse of that which am hoping is just the beginning.😃 And Kalpi needs to have deep feelings for Raghav to let go of her inhibitions, she needs to fall in love with him not the concept of being in love. I hope Raghav is patient & Kalpi courageous to hold hands & stand tall with each other to fight all odds for the happiness they deserve & are destined 😳 😳😳

Pheww!!! am done now, RagNa are making me write so much which my study papers failed to do 😆
