Ladies, updated my post on page 2
Posting it here for anyone who's online.
Hold me close, hold me tight
Make me thrill with delight
Let me know where I stand from the start
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
Ev'ry time that you're near
All my cares disappear
Darling, you're all that I'm living for
I want you, I need you, I love you
More and more
I thought I could live without romance
Before you came to me
But now I know that
I will go on loving you eternally
Won't you please be my own?
Never leave me alone
'Cause I die ev'ry time we're apart
I want you, I need you, I love you
With all my heart
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. You have to have the roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms fall from the branches you find that you are one tree, not two."
What can I say about today's episode. One word, OUTSTANDING!! CVs, Nissar, Barry Dhillon, GC, DD, Entire team of Geet - Take a bow!! It was undoubtedly the best episode of Geet so far.
The settings, the camerawork, the music, the dialogues everything were just perfect. For the first time in my life I cried seeing an episode and that speaks a lot for the kind of perfection that was delivered today.
Maan accepts he is pressurising her, accepts he is already impressed by her innocence, apologises for bringing tears to her eyes and sincerely wipes those tears. Then he authoritatively tells her that she deserves all the happiness in the world. He tells her what he loves in her and how interesting it would be to have a life with her. He answers all her questions without any doubts in his mind. How can you not love this guy? Maan Singh Khurana - I have fallen in love with you all over again today.
It was good to see Geet talk about her inhibitions, about what was stopping her from embracing the future with Maan. Her inhibitions about her not being deserving of his love, of how his family would react to her, how the responsibility of her and her baby would not be easy to handle and the most important thing as to how she was not pure enough for him.
I totally adored the way Maan put Geet's fears to rest. How he told her he loved her the way she was and that meant her along with her unborn baby. How purity is not of the body alone but of the mind, body and soul as one. And how he considers her to be the purest of all living beings on earth.
Geet has faced a lot in her life and Maan stood by beside her and assured that they belonged together and from now on they would share everything as one.
They told each other how much they need each other in their lives, how much they want each other and how much they love each other. And today we saw Geet giving Maan the taveez - the one thing that binds her to him and today we saw Maan giving Geet what she always wanted - REASSURANCE!!
And that vow these two took in the end - It was as if each one was saying to the other -
"From this day on, I choose you, my beloved, to be my life partner. To live with you and laugh with you; to stand by your side, and sleep in your arms; to be joy to your heart, and food for your soul; to bring out the best in you always, and, for you, to be the most that I can. I promise to laugh with you in good times, to struggle with you in bad; to solace you when you are downhearted; to wipe your tears with my hands; to comfort you with my body; to mirror you with my soul; to share with you all my riches and honors; to play with you as much as I can until we grow old; and, still loving each other sweetly and gladly, our lives shall come to an end."
I hope I did justice to the masterpiece of the episode today.
