There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.
I want to quote what Anjalg said in my last post, ''that happiness suits Gulaal'' - and i couldnt agree more, it suits her, and its her.. you smile for her and with her...
You dont realise how much you missed her smiling and seeing her happy how she is being, or talk away until you saw it again and the inner childlike Gulaal , and thats what it felt that, you had been missing it and you hope it lasts for awhile atleast 😳
I find it kinda hard to write an analysis for these kind of episode, coz its hard to even put in words, to watch and see Gulaal like this and just smile for her, coz it has not words for her...
I think i want to keep watching the first half of this episode just to see Gulaal's happiness, childlike-ness, the chulbhuliness, the stubborness, the irritation, the roothna manana, the sadness as well...
Loved Gulaal/Manasi - full on smile and her bak-bak ness 😳
Jeet gayi Jeet gayi...
Koi shak... ? there was no doubt about it, we knew Gulaal would win, but what i liked about the whole game was Kesar being there and beside her as she played and guiding her and caring as well, telling her to be careful and then the smiling at each other on winning and the clasp of hands on each other, it reminded me pre leap KG when they both use to both high 5 their hands in the air, and then hug, well obviously today they cant do that - but still i loved what we saw and Kesar holding out his hands for a second when she let go and ran off to her friends, she went to Kesar first means alot 😳
Chulbhuli mischeivious Gulaal, naughty Gulaal - she really does have a eye for eye, praying that her friends doesnt win, and that hand gesture thing she did, Gulaal so wanted to win and i think she even forgot what bet it was and why she had to do this game... and at one point she is also blessing herself to do well with the little thing they were playing with it
I still love her out out - cuteness she has, again we saw it 😆😆
Look at how close Gulaal was sitting near Kesar, its like hinting that her and Kesar are comfortable to sit near each other, well Gulaal is and so on... but then again it could explain that Reva had come along with Rohan to be dropped off 😉😆
Kesar trying to get them all to talk, and then seeing Gulaal talk away... he really does want to see the old Gulaal who is there, he wants to absorb it and her and how she was and how she is now being with her friends and so on and hearing them talk away and so on
Kesar really has slotted in well with the ladies, but then again he has always had a house full of ladies and got on with them well 😳
I was like Kesar 'look ahead - your driving... aage dekh aage dekh' 😆, as he was so memorized by her and kept gazing at her - but i love when Kesar looks at her in that way, that certain way... being so taken in by her and memorized
Talking about the mela - and it does remind you of her and Vasant, and its no wonder she did - and i pretty sure that was the song, her and Vasant danced to as well in yellow - the first time they met, and i like that song, no wonder she went so quiet, back into another world with Vasant, but all i see is sadness when i see her like this and when she thinks of Vasant and yeah it pricks her even more when she does think about him , that he isnt here anymore with her, and then that one teardrop as we saw her wipe her eye, what i liked was Kesar took her out of it and told her to carry on and so on, she did and then you see that little smile in her with her face down
Manasi has a lovely voice, and her singing whilst thinking of her and V days (if i am honest it was nice to see that days again, and Vasant looked great 😉)
Piyu Maari does suit KG, esp from Kesar's pov - it works well for him towards Gulaal, and i think alot of you guys wanted Piyu Maari on them... (but in a way found it abit oddish only coz its a VG song ) seeing Gulaal so free and happy and so carefree, it did remind me when Talli had brought her few months back, and Gulaal enjoying herself and Kesar looking on and memorized, today's Kesar's expression was one of that but in a very 'look of love' and taking in the sight of her in being happy, and making him smile and being happy for her...
Again we see Pati naam comes up, it has been irritating Gulaal - and it irritates her even more coz they tease her in a way, and it winds her up and only friends can have the knack of doing that, and as she stubbornly walks away from them... and you saw its not irritation to actual Kesar but forcing the pati naam and so on her, esp as only and Kesar know where they stand so Kesar can instantly tell when and how she will and does react to it, and like today and just yesterday, he calms her down and says why do you let it bother you, it should not make a difference - and this line did get to Gulaal, she got it and listened to him and went back to her friends with that cute annoyed child Gulaal look she has😳, and it was lovely how Kesar made her listen to him, in the way JZee decribed in her thread yesterday, how he has done it, so i wont go on about that, but Kesar's love and maturity is so wonderfully portrayed that all you can see is him rising up in love and for Gulaal, he is so contented with himself and also seeing Gulaal like this... coz its how it should be and also coz he has planned all this for her as we saw in the last scene, as one the girls nearly let out his secret
Last scene, i adored Gulaal just lazily lying down with her eyes closed, thinking of the day she had and cherishing it, with a slight smile on her lips and inside of her ... and that too with her hair down and playing with it and no pallu on her head.. and no wonder Kesar couldnt take his eyes of her, and didnt want to disturb the vision he saw in front of her, and takes her in contently and smiles
I was wondering when the girls would mention Vasant and so on, seeing as they must of heard about it, but these friends so approve of Kesar and how he is over Gulaal, one would envy lol - its no wonder the girls can see his love for her, the way he looks at her, and everything he has planned out for Gulaal along with her friends, this was all his doing... so Gulaal can have this happiness, i loved Kesar shook of his head silently not to let Gulaal know it was all him... but Gulaal felt something was up but let it go when Dhani or BB correctly herself lol
I am wondering as Gulaal did start to tell her friends at one point (but Kesar came back with hot sweetcorns, she couldnt finish it), will Gulaal tell them what has happened and is happening in 3 months
But for now anyone would approve of Kesar and as a hubby material, i mean look at him and what he has done, and whether Gulaal like it or not - she cant deny it, esp when what one of her friends said today about Kesar and how he is... slowly and slowly one day Gulaal will have to 'GET' it and feel it
I really liked Sudha and Kesar's scene, how Kesar came in, knowing how Sudha would be like, but still went ahead... and talked about the gift she had given, so symbolic as we heard Kesar say the story and so on, and how she is the one who took if off so it wouldnt pain him anymore... and like Kesar said today it seems that, he did what he did and if Sudha sees he had done the right thing and so on.. and Sudha's tears and then talking to him, and asking him to be there tomorrow was a step forward from Sudha... and a breakthrough in Sudha and Kesar, and feel alittle less guilty as well
Twice now Gulaal has listened to Kesar, and Kesar has got through to her... and the wonderful thing is there does seem that comfort level to do that... and i wouldnt be surprised from now on if Gul-Kes get into a routine of the set-up they have going on, i connect that with what we saw yesterday in the first scene, of the hubby-wifey setup, and also how both will be there for each other and make one understand and so on... and love that today Kesar is being the one with the understanding, and making her see and being beside her and so on
Dhani and BB, are latoo over their Kesarji, like who wouldnt 😉😆 - the man is filled with love and fills you with love, the way he is today and what he has done for Gulaal, i bet they are jealous coz which other pati in this world would do what Kesar has done... and no wonder Dhani and BB teased him at the end, and so on...
Last scene, i dont know how to get that across - i am sure Kesar felt alittle embarassed in being caught and knowing full well how Gulaal would feel about it and so on.. and the friends keep going on about him this and that, and like they are the friends they are they would tease the hubby and wifey... no wonder the uncertainess and awkwardness in a way Kesar felt and felt being around them as well
I so need to get which one is Dhani and Bulbul, i am thinking the green one is Dhani isnt it???
Well seeing the last sentence one of the friends said as their pati would say just stay there from now on - 'woh aapki tarah nahin hai Kesarji' and a smack from Gulaal... lol
I think from what i got was well and i am thinking from Kesar and his whole being is Gulaal, is that Kesar would never tell her to go away or stay anywhere away from him - its not him at all, he wants her forever just with him
What did ppl read from this - i kinda cant put my finger on it or if i am wrong in what i said , to describe that and the look KG were giving?
Farmaish, like the friends said today, Kesar so quickly filled Gulaal's request on wanting sweetcorn and you just know how true that is, and why that is and for Gulaal he would do anthing - If it was upto Kesar, he would bring her the world and the sky and the moon and the stars for her if he could... seeing her today like he has, her smiling, so carefree and talking away and you can just feel for Kesar in what he feels in that moment, in each of that moment... riding himself along and into her world in a way and flowing with it and cherishing it and gazing at her 😳
Everything he is doing today, everything he is living for is Gulaal
I cant wait for Gulaal to find out, he planned all this for her, and i actually think her friends will tell her when they leave - how else will she find out
After all i have written, as i said above i still found it alittle harder to write, coz this episode is all about seeing Gulaal happy and smiling, and smile with her and gaze at her and feel for her - and Manasi is beautiful and such a wonderful actress with each emotions she brings and so on - and loved this screen shot of her
Kesar smiling with her as she laughs on with her friends 😳
Kesar to Gulaal (Saathiya is the song for KG esp from Kesar's pov)
Saathiya ... Saathiya
maddham maddham teri ye geeli hansi
saathiya ... saathiya
sun ke ham ne saari pee li hansi
hansti rahe tu hansti rahe hayaa kee laalee khilatee rahe
zulf ke neeche gardan pe subah-o-shaam milatee rahe
maddham maddham hans de phir se
sona sona phir se hans de
teree ik hansee ke badale meree ye zameen le le meraa aasmaan le le
PRECAP - Greedy parents asking MB with Sudha and Kesar there about Talli, and what had happened to her at the wedding and isnt it Kesar who she was suppose to get married to...

Precap was coming, and it needs to be addressed fully but i am not keen on the parents judging by reading the TB article
Not sure if Gulaal will confide in her friend, one way i wouldnt mind coz she is your best friend and then the other well its up to Gulaal
I cant wait for her to find out as well

Thanks for a post Len - and the caps look 😍! I was wondering where everyone was after such a beautiful episode - my school work is eating away into all my leisurely Galool-ing 😡 so imma just steal space on your thread for now.

If yesterday was a happy fest - today was plain touching. There were mesmerizing bits, high strung bits, unresolved eye locks, team secrets, role reversals, and finally, a precap that leaves you at the very edge...

In particular I like the variation of Kesar from yesterday to today. Yesterday, he was so overwhelmed by being treated to this other side of Gulaal - that no other reaction could outdo his plain, unadulterated absolute euphoria. Today witnessed growth. Having taken his time to be acquainted with this new found old Gulaal - today was spent in high quotient of admiring, being mesmerized, and simple oozing fondness and pride. He was a lover and a mate - and he was that responsible guy looking out for his girl. Yet, he wasn't coming in her way, or that of her friends, and it was a marvel the way he could be omnipresent, but not interfering. Doing so much to make Gulaal happy has not just paid off in the obvious way - in her evident happiness so to say - but also presented him with all those instances where he could just bring time to a stand still, reveling in abandon of his lady love. Reminders of their hard facts came along to distract the realism of their ethereal day, but Kesar was also omniscient today - an answer to all of Gulaal's doubts and complains - and Gulaal herself was too high on rediscovering herself after a decade - too high to question it, and too high to let anything spoil it for her too far. Kesar obviously used laudable tact in making his arguments, but the Gulaal we saw today was not half the hard nut she usually is to crack. She was yielding, because at least a part of her wanted to, each time, while Kesar gave her the vital leverage at all occasions.

The scene between Sudha and Kesar was touching - to say the least - and a kind of continuation from the other day when he had walked in to Raman and Sudha's room to beckon them for the samaroh in their house. It had been a part of his agenda, to sort his tussle with Sudha - and of course, spending a beautiful day like he had was every bit the making of a peaceful mind which can accomplish resolutions. When he walks into Sudha's room today - it's a spontaneous decision, and he has obviously not prepared a speech - so what comes out in narrative is straight from the heart. Naturally, it hits the target. I thought Sudha (the actress portraying her) did a commendable job with her expressions. For the first time since I begun to see this show, I actually witnessed a glimpse of their Bhabhi Devar bonding. [I'm not sure where the precap is going to put those two with respect to each other again, but I hope Kesar's point has been made for once and all, and that Sudha can understand there's really no resolution to anythng in just holding his big blunder against him now.] I did like the closure of this scene today though - Kesar's continued marathon of winning hearts (lol) and relief at it, as well as Sudha's own partially reclaimed peace in making peace with him. Which sort of goes on to prove how dear he must be to her - but then, Kesar has always been the dearest and most spoiled member of that house. Even the evil Dushyant could never not spoil Kesar (:

Finally - Kesar walking in on a dream like Gulaal. They showed several instances of Kesar being captivated by Gulaal today - but this one took the cake. It was just a tad cliche, yet phenomenal - his reaction on seeing this Gulaal - suspended in reminiscing about her unbelievably fun day - is one of heartfelt joy in succeeding what he had set out for, while being rendered rather at a loss of reaction at the same time, in how she casts an unassuming spell. The friends walking in and playing tease - so been there done that, totally credible - and Gulaal's snap/defense/wall modes at every tease - expected. I personally think Kesar's own unease today in this latter most of scenes is not on account of being conscious, much less guilty - but simply on account of his apprehension that pressingthis wrong button with Gulaal too far with render all his efforts to cheer her up futile. For the first time in over a week, we see a nervous version of Kesar - like a ghost from his pre-revelation night with Talli - because he genuinely fears loss of this tediously dug out Gulaal version - which is being held on to the surface by a delicate string, rather precariously. He is aware that while he has succeeded in bringing about this change - there is no permanency about it, and it can take but a moment for her to snap and revert back to the shell - irrespective of the presence of her friends, or anyone else. It makes him lower his eyes, even though he's not wrong, it makes him keep his hand in planning the entire day a secret because he has no idea how Gulaal can or will react to that... and it makes him fumble with words, hesitate and falter before he finally exits the room. The last look between Gulaal and Kesar is yet another speaks volumes kind. Gulaal is not miffed with him, not yet anyway - she just can't pull off a thankful smile for him at this point given her agitation and strain over the day long teasers. Kesar on the other hand, dares, even partially knowing its in vain, to hope that he will get a glimpse of the smile he's doted on all day long - and fairly enough, well earned. He doesn't want a thankful smile, he only wants a smile that tells the tale of her day well spent. Too bad it doesn't come.

Btw - I thought there was symbolism in the hopscotch game too. The way Kesar is cheering her, anxious and excited and proud and anticipatory all at once, in her final round is reflective of his attitude towards Gulaal, of course. What's interesting (and fresh to me) in this scene is the fact that Gulaal doesn't at any point (despite looking dicey here and there) stumble enough to need his physical help. In simple words - she doesn't have a cliche fall, where her knight comes to save her. In this respect, I think the CVs pull off an ace by showing their always prevalent equality of status - no matter the bond they share, much less what it's called. Of course, one obvious reason to not make her fall is that the stakes involved are proof of his love. But it's still wonderful to me - what I once said about Kesar not needing Gulaal to solve his problems, but just being there as his hausla looks like a mirror reflection today with roles reversed. Kesar is only there for her, to cheer her on - she doesn't need him to help her in real terms of the game, to win it - she only needs his presence. And so I deem them easily equal.

Another scene of relevance has to be the one where Gulaal is on the verge of telling her friends the real truth about Kesar and her relation - but is fatefully stopped - even if fate appears as Kesar. Later, when he tells her they are her true friends and there is no point upsetting them by telling them dark facts - she relents. It's at least partially willing. I can't imagine her dying to tell them the truth and get it over with - but not finding one more chance after the first failed attempt to do so - before this advice from Kesar. It's obvious she's holding back again - and further, when Kesar tells it's immaterial given their 3 month grace period only - Gulaal gives him a look which is a mix of complex reactions. At least one part of which is truly not happy in being reminded. I'm not trying to over play that reaction and say it shocks and saddens her - but it definitely disturbs her, especially so perhaps, because Kesar says it with such seemingly easy conviction. She is surprised perhaps, by his ease, but she is most certainly disturbed by the same too.

I don't know where tomorrow's episode will begin. But I hope we're going to get our last doze of these girlfriends in the form of some candid night talks. Someone as uninvolved and objective like them can play vital role in showing her sense.

Anyway - that's for today ...I've done it with half of my usual mind, because there's tons of school work I need to finish too - but today was yet another unexceptional day which could not be passed without a critique ☺️

Very well said, Jzee! There was MAJOR symbolism in the hopscotch game without a doubt...that entire bit with Kesar encouraging her, rooting for her, happy, proud, excited, anticipatory, sharing her moments of anxiousness...I was wondering for a second if they will show her falling and him catching her but nothing trite of that sort...he just encouraged her along simply...and to me the most beautiful was the culmination of that scene with the way Gulaal holds his hands in excited happiness for a moment...all awkwardness gone for those brief moments when she lets go in her joy...and the expression Kesar has on his face to see HER so happy...to SHARE her joy there...beautiful...absolutely beautiful.


@Lennie: Awesome post as always...and thanks for the caps!

Oh yes - I had no business missing to mention that specific moment in your avi right now Nur - it was a beautiful touching end to a wonderfully scripted scene. I'm always in awe of how not-cliche this show is. Her fall would have been a total killjoy!

Thanks😊, and you can steal it 😆 Honestly, i dont know what to write after this 😊- coz it so sums it up and the things you saw (as i said i find it kinda hard to write these kind of episodes - coz its just there to feel and so on and watch on), i can imagine school work, but i am so glad i dont go school anymore, but i do miss it - well the fun side to it 😆
I saw the bit where Gulaal's hopscotch was telling, in how it was being played, along with eveything that went on, and what the bet was, Kesar there, how she went about and no as you say she cant fall, i knew she wouldnt - coz we all know what that would mean overall and as you say the honsla plays in so well here...
Like you this is probably the first time in seeing a Bhabhi-devar bonding as such - i mean if i look back to the Sudha before the leap, she wasnt exactly how she has been for the 10 yrs or so has she
I am glad you said about the last scene, i couldnt put my finger on it, how to describe it and why i was having trouble to it, as you say we saw a nervous Kesar and that even now with the day over and what he has seen, and felt and done whilst Gulaal is reveling in it, and enjoying it - and as you say cant say a thank-you as such, well coz she doesnt know it was all his doing and so on, its gonna be interesting what she thinks of it when she finds out... how she will see why Kesar did this or did he cross a line to her and so on
You know i did feel that Kesar has very lightly and at ease said what does it matter, whats the difference, this will end in 3 months - i felt that as i watched it yesterday in the precap, and that i think surprises Gulaal, and as you say disturbs her, i think thats the word to call it, does it kinda bother her that Kesar is so at ease with it now and so on
I very much agree on the fate intervening that Kesar coming when she tries to tell her friends this, and like you say with the pati word and Gulaal knows it irritates her in a way, and for Kesar he can sense her and why she gets wounded up... but as you say the reality sets in and they are reminded by it...
Oh and like you i do hope we see some late night talks between them, friends help friends out, tell secrets to and your heart's desire and also her friends can guide Gulaal in some friendly advice and so on, about life and other things 😊

Very well said, Jzee! There was MAJOR symbolism in the hopscotch game without a doubt...that entire bit with Kesar encouraging her, rooting for her, happy, proud, excited, anticipatory, sharing her moments of anxiousness...I was wondering for a second if they will show her falling and him catching her but nothing trite of that sort...he just encouraged her along simply...and to me the most beautiful was the culmination of that scene with the way Gulaal holds his hands in excited happiness for a moment...all awkwardness gone for those brief moments when she lets go in her joy...and the expression Kesar has on his face to see HER so happy...to SHARE her joy there...beautiful...absolutely beautiful.


@Lennie: Awesome post as always...and thanks for the caps!

I look back to it now, and it is so symbolic - the fall i just didnt see it happening coz we all know what that would of meant in terms of what was said before in the bet, and the thing is Gulaal even forgot what she was playing for, but we all knew so it was just there and it came out so well.. and seeing Kesar with so many expressions, what i loved as i said was he was there guiding her and supporting her - very true to what he said 'main tere saath hoon'
Definately the holding of hands was the best, both of them before going Jeet gayi - yep she won - the happiness, the victory sharing it with Kesar and then flowing away with happiness - Kesar still with his hands out, feeling that moment and her
Thanks 😊
I so wanted to take that cap of them holding hands, but it wasnt in the vid, where i was taking screencaps 😆
