Smitar's: Finding Khushi #10 Link to #11 on Pg 1 - Page 37

He explained the facts of life to Ganesh… hilarious… the images that this gives rise to in my ever fertile mind! Gaurav's suggestion that Ganesh should watch a few films with Khushi so as to learn what is to be done during certain wedding rituals is adorable! In the midst of all that fooling around, Ganesh's concern for Gaurav is heart-warming! Akash is too soft on his brother but NK knows just the right buttons to push to get Arnav home! NK looked at his watch. "Nannav will be here in 30 mins. I bet you a packet of Lays." Funny! Reminds me of all the times in the show when NK was found with a packet of chips, especially driving his Nannav crazy with the crinkling sound. Any mention of Khushi and how gorgeous she looks draws Arnav like a moth is drawn to a flame… or is it like fluttering a red rag before a bull? Ganesh is more timid than Arnav who refused to budge till he has looked his fill at the beauteous vision his fiance makes! Just love NK going about in mortal fear of Buaji! The boys plotting to gatecrash the mehendi ceremony and failing miserably to come up with a practical plan is highly amusing, as is the image of a laidback Arnav calmly watching all the fun and having a quiet laugh at the others' expense. Nani making it a family function and having all the males be present is touching, but also sneaky as it gives the ladies a chance to turn the tables on them. Poor Ganesh seems so out of his depth that it's sheer fun to see him confused about what the ceremony truly entails… I believe, behind his acquiescence to Anamika's 'suggestions', however outlandish, is his not wanting to hurt her in any way by refusing any of her wishes… that's love! Gaurav whispered in Scooby's ear, "Hide your paws. Or they will colour it orange!" Scooby quickly hid under Nani's chair, cowering behind the folds of her sari… cute! The Arnav-Khushi eye-lock followed by their little argument and Khushi's final statement as to what she wants written on her hand is just fabulous… made me so nostalgic about both the mehendi ceremonies in the show that I am on my way to watch those episodes!
