Chalo mohabbat ki nayee booniyaad rakhte hain.
Khud paaband rehte hain, tumhein Azaad rakhte hain.
Hamaare khoon main Rab ne taseer aisi rakhi hai.
Buraiyaan bhool jaate hain hum, Achhaiyan yaad rakhte hain.
Ye soch kar gustakhi na ho jaye Mohabbat mein.
Is liye apna har Qaddam tere Qaddam ke baad rakhte hain'...
Lennie quoted few lines so I also thought I should do that too...Lennie! me a copy cat😛😆
Seriously...these lines somehow depicted Kesuda completely today...He bound himself in the chains of pain and torment to free her...He forgot how heartless and stonehearted she had been, all he remembers is the Gulaal who had been his savior, his anchor. And now he has decided to forget that take-in-charge Kesar and just follow her example of 'Sacrifice' and 'greater love' . He has decided to take baby steps after her. The way he used to...As he himself pointed out, in their conversation, later in the episode.
The equations changed, and we have Team Kes-Gul...JK and Sudha out!!😆
The scene has to start with Kesar barging in the room na...God knows how many times he just throws the doors open like this...😆
But he does lock himself inside and cry. There is a kind of ultimate surrender to the fate in his crying. He so has left it to it and feeling the pain of that helplessness of everything gone out of his hands.
And he hears the knock. He wipes the tears and opens the door and turns his back towards the door . He almost knows it is her. That she would come to him after all this to see him. That was the kind of confidence and bond they had shared. And this is indeed a renewal of that. The question he had been asking, 'Why does your world not revolve around me, like before?' He so is gonna get the answer. In face he has got that answer. His instinct said it all.
And as everyone knows I am on a reverse gear these days😆 And co-incidentally I just saw this scene where Gulaal gets an instinct that the Baraat has come, during Vasaal's marriage and her friends had said that if the Baraat would have come, they would have heard it because of the crackers and music and all. But eventually Gulaal was proven right, and ofcourse, there sat on the camel, along with Vasant, our chhotu groom dancing away😆
Sorry sorry..me back from the drive...
The moment she steps in, he turns and says sorry.
Did someone feel that Gulaal had come there to say something on these lines?? I mean I know that sorry might not be exactly the thing, but still she had come there humbled by what he had done, and his sorry did take her by surprise. I guess, she thought he would be angry or atleast a bit annoyed considering their encounter last night. But his total surrender, just couldnot stop the tears from her eyes to fall.
And Kesuda, is in such a frenzy...he just pours out the words, as if he wanted to get that out as soon as possible. Before Fate hit them with another twister and they were found reeling in different direction. For once, and after a long time, they were together, and he just wanted to stamp that moment.
And I just had a lump in my throat when he completely surrenders himself, that is the beauty of the relation, Kesar has never held back. All his emotions, were completely in check outside the room, he was to a large extent calm, but with her, he is still that vulnerable Kesar, totally broken, forgetting the last time when he had joined his hands like this in front of hers, she had told him to get up and look at himself and not to ruin his and his family's reputation.
Or may be he did not forget, because when Gulaal did get caught hold of his hands, he was surprised as if he didnot expect that. The guy actually seems to be asking for the moon, but somehow his expectations are as small as a toy car.
And Gulaal..I really dont want to analyze her on this thread...itna special treatment toh banta hai na Kesuda ke liye...
So I will just skip her 'burden' and 'paap' dialogues...All I can say that Kesar was damn spot on the last night when he told her that she has almost killed the woman in herself.
I just looked at Kesuda at the sense of his disbelief that she had caught hold of his hands, that she was smiling and she was talking to him and his breath of relief. He is just relieved with this. And when she says that she can live with 'Sukoon' he smiles from his tears.
But somehow I think, her words did feel like leading towards finality to him, or may be he needed some connection to bind himself to him. Without her, he feels like a log of wood just dragged away in the flow of the stream. There is no destination in his life, no control, no balance.
He so needs to hold on to her and so when she turns to leave, he stops her...and By God..his voice when he says 'Ab' so has that boyish vulnerability na...and the way he hesitatingly takes baby steps towards her...approaching her like a frightened child going near the fire cracker to light it😆...
The way he asks her whether for three months they can remain friends and extends his hands...and boy ! they show Vasant's photo in the background. Some how reminded me of their first friendship scene...
and the look he had as he waited for her to put his hands in his, so eager, yet so apprehensive, as if his life depended on that one sole gesture of his, and when she does put her hand, there is a kind of 'stop-this-moment' look on his face as he just stares at their joined hands and smiles with that contentment and happiness and after such a long time we see Gulaal's uninhibited smile and finally...
The tortoise is out of its shell...
And Kesar's MIL is so like him na, making dil-dhadak entries ...Kesarbeta...sometimes I do concur with the bin budhi Sudhi that the house has turned into a whole lot of Tamasha...Why did Poonamba had to shout like this😆
But anyways..as everybody, I, too, loved this Kesuda. The way he just runs down to her, to calm down, not getting angry or annoyed or not even frustrated. Not even tellin her that he is not to be blamed as it was the decision of her daughter. He just calmly accepts his mistake and hits the bull's eye. He knows why Poonamba wants them to stay married and so he guarantees that whatever the circumstances, HER happiness will remain his no.1 priority. And Gulaal is listening. *sigh* Get me one like him plz😳...He knows that everybody is worried that once Gulaal is free from the Deeyarvatu...what will be her position, Twice married, once widowed, once divorced and now?? And the conviction and the feeling which actually oozed out of his words, well, what to say, no wonder they tamed a mad woman on loose like Poonam ba. And the way he said that Gulaal's happiness is the biggest thing for him, no one could have doubted him. He had let go of his greatest fear, of letting her go, because he wanted her happiness.
And that it was not surprising to see tears of pride and happiness in Gulaal's eyes.
I just wished that they had shown one eye lock between them after this scene... Somehow, the expressions at that time would have been rock solid...
And ofcourse me skipping JK and Ramu scene of JK's high rise building dreams where she wanted to do something like getting Dushy married within 3 months which had not been done in 10 years...Wonderful...you have a bahu right in your house re!! Dullli is the best option😆
Anyways..coming to Kesuda's room...Gulaal coming there to put clothes made me wonder where is she staying..but then she must have moved back to her room. So this must be Kesuda's clothes and somehow made me happy because she is now started doing things for him again.
And I loved how she approached him. These past few weeks we had wondered how come she could be totally oblivious to his mind set, his anger, his pain...but today she is back to being her concerned self. The moment she sees him worried she asks him.
And Kesuda has to steal the show na.
He is worried about upsetting Motabha and Gulaal says that she also has disappointed him. And they need to talk to him, but he needs to go first as MB has a soft corner for him.
Now who believed this to be an out and out lie😆
We all know That Motabha would listen to Gulaal first anyday and Kesar had absolutely no control over his father...and that Gulaal wanted them to go together but just couldnot say it with the same childlike ease that he says it???
He is so damn good bacha... The way he says how can he go to Motabha alone😳
That she has always been there with him and now it is a habit to see her with him always...you could see Gulaal's hackles rising as she looks at him again going into the loverboy mode😆...But he has now turned ishmart so he just leaves the sentence alone and says that if she is with him, he gets courage.
And how many times exactly we have discussed it? She is strength and she is his biggest weakness, she is the pain and she is the panacea. She is the sun, from which this moon derives his light from.She is the balance of his world, his sanity.
And that is why you could see him coming back to her in the kitchen too.
But that is after the MB scene...well the best part of it was KesGul together, ( ofcourse MB was spot on too..I love Manoj Joshi as an actor😃) and Kesar taking the lead. It was him all the way trying to pacify him, and Gulaal lets him do it too. She could see that her past actions, would naturally be reflected here, and the way MB tells her that she had gone through the pains of DV and its aftermath and so she should know better, made it evident...Makes me wonder, how much does Motabha exactly knows about the whole thing. He must be knowing JK torturing Gulaal and all he fiasco ...and he was right and when Kesar says that he did not tell him because he was sick..I think MB was right ...if he really cared that he was sick, then couldn't he have waited for few days??? Kesuda, you really should learn how to lie😆
But then MB doesnot understand that for Kesar, the woman sitting beside him is the Alpha and Omega...once he got into his mind that it is her happiness he is hindering, he would not have given a thought to anyone, anything but to do anything in his power to return her happiness.
And today, with MB going all emotional, Kesar does realize what he has done, inflicting pain on everybody else...and that does humble him. And so when MB says that when you repent on the decision which is taken without thinking, it is too late and today it is the same situation.
I think, that the enormity and the message behind this thing got through Gulaal... Kesar has not grasped the concept of this. He is just on the reasoning that he has done it for her happiness and that justifies everything. Although, he is concerned about MB, But I really don't think he got the real reason behind Motabha's words.
And so the bacha is all restless na,...and where would he go when he is like this??
To his 'sukoon'...in his white kurta...Shalu, spare him this time ha!! Bacha has just recovered from illness😆
I just love the ease of the moment..I certainly gives some respite of all those 'shouting and cursing' Kitchen moments😆...
And with the ease and control she reads his mind that he is still worried over MB... I say we are getting back on some track...😆
The lovestory starts or not..it is this bond that I had been hankering to see.
And it is again, them against the world ... The way Gulaal says that 'We will pacify him together'...and I loved that Kesar did not even looked surprised or ecstatic at that. He just takes it in his stride as if it was something he always had with him, her co-operation, her 'saath'.
And you could see that, when he reassures himself by asking her 'Mana lenge na?' ... Owww... he so wants her assurances and when she asks him' Mujhe par bharosa hai na?' ...He was like..why does she need to ask even...Even in the midst of the anger and despair and frustration, that was one thing he always had.
That confidence, that trust, on her 'Healing touch'...Her ability to turn everything alright. It had sprang from the fact, that she had found water in the village and made everything alright ...As Chhotu Kesuda had said, that he was not angry with her anymore because since she could find water, his friends are not leaving the village😆.
and it reflected when he was crying reading his letters and saying to himself that he was afraid of her answer...because whatever she told him he would believe, but what if he told her, what he did not WANT to believe...even after hearing the whole secret first hand, he trusted her more than he did himself...😳 and then she goes and asks 'Does he trust her?'...What is he supposed to answer to that??
But by the way who thought that the exhaustion on his face was just not his worries about MB...but the bacha looked like he had cried all night??? And Gulaal must have known this too???
The milk banter😆...It was saying something as Gulaal told him that she did not press him for milk before, because he was always upset about somthing, but now that they are friends, she is gonna utitlize this haq fully ...
Well, I do personally think that Gulaal suggesting that he makes tea for himself if he doesnot want to drink milk was more of a thing to make him come out of the sadness that he seemed to be in since he came to the kitchen.
And she was standing there just to ensure that he doesnot burn himself.
And there comes Talli...(where is that bin budhi Sudhi😡...She needs to come right now to claim her 10% of kitchen 😡😆)
And just look at Kesuda...Talli is exactly in front of him, but he still doesnot notice her, he is so concentrated on proving to Gulaal that he can make tea.😆
And when Talli comes, Gulaal just tells her to take care of Kesar and his tea...
Because she knew that till she is standing there, he would be adamant to prove himself😆
And Kesar is such a brat na...the moment Gulaal goes out, he tells Talli that he can read her mind and that she is thinking that she will make the tea for her...and talli says yes...
Talli and her bhashan...well, the only thing that did was it brought smile and hope on Kesuda's face and the way he pats her head, well, you could see tears brimming. Overwhelmed of the love she showered???
It was indeed a new beginning all over...all the relations...especially these three...
The precap: Welll Why does Kesuda need to go out with talli...but I was pleasantly surprised by Gulaal's attitude. Instead of going under the shell with JK's allegations, she just goes out and out defiant and decides to accompany them...
More of the orchard scene?? Please Talli you stay at the bhajiya house and let them go there all by themselves...I had to delete so many scenes to cut you out of that orchard bliss, to make the avi😆
