Components of Kāma

Contrary to the consumerist myth, Kāma doesn't only refer to erotic acts or sex. It refers to all the things and activities which produce prītī and pleasure. The opposite of kāma is asukha.

So Kāmasūtra enlists painting, wine, music, dancing, teasing, titilation, and even fighting as one of the sixty-four components/ kalā of Kāma.

I am still basking at how organic their seduction is?

They draw each other out, they retreat, they laugh and smile. Aryan stops Sundar from putting lal abeer on Imlie, not with any agression, but with a mischeivious promise — washing the colour off his hands with bhang, Imlie sees the colour drip drip drip down. Not with any intimidation but with the joy of resolve.

They run parallel. Having people adorn each other with yellow colour— the colour of happiness, lf vasant, of fertility. She goads him, ducks and draws the attention of her (fake?) mother-in-law. Declaring their wills of war to everyone there. They run again in happiness, and they come together in prītī

Ānkhon ki gustāñkhiyāñ... māfa hoñ.

But not really. They feign a stalemate. They break the ceasefire, they laugh as they do it. They laugh as they come together to fight again. They laugh as she asks him to disarm himself. They are so stupidly happy, fighting with each other. These two.

Kehti hai duniyā Ishq jise meri jāna e-man,

Isa ek lafza meñ hi chupi qayanāt hai.

[Uff, how did I forget the lyrics to my favourite song?]

Yet, they are an unshakeble team when it comes to protecting each other from an external threat. A harbinger of asukha. Of discord that had been broiling. Someone who wants to objectify and own them.

All without a plan like puzzle pieces falling in places unsespectingly.

I want their seduction to always this full of happiness and rasa.

Haayeeeeeeeee.

It was so beautiful... Like i had consumed that bhaang as well and was tipsy a bit

They were so ridiculously happy fighting with each other in such synchronity that they forgot their idiot tashan and actually communicated.

Kehte haiñ Ishq jise mere jān e-man,

Uss ek lafz meñ hi puri qayanāt hai.

Haayeeeeeeeee.

Beautifully put..Mischievous Aryan is a treat to watch..Imlie's excitement, so happy to see her like this..she has been not herself the past few episodes since the wedding..Even under bhang Imlie says no, he listens..how sweet was that..Precap ..Aryan Singh Rathore were you always this spicy or you just added some extra this week..Killer looks and background songs...

Well when you say all this.. i can only think that he's steering their relationship forward or else it'd become stagnant under the "friend" tag which hardly justifies everything they do for/with eachother.

Their relationship has to go through test of times and come out stronger.

Well, he did take away what she considered to be a friend and has replaced it with carefully curated goading punching bag for her to fight.

That smokescreen kind of broke today. She's asking the right questions.

Everything was so perfect about today's episode.. Except for few disturbing elements, whole episode was treat to the eyes... Haayeee aisa lag raha hai jaise ki aankhon ko thandak pahunch gayi ho 😍😍😍....

This episode is on repeat for me this weekend..

You are right Kama is not about sexual love, it is about love in all its forms. It is important for fulfillment of human life and does not complete with the other three pillar: dharma, artha & moksha.

Coming to the episode, the way they shed their outward inhibitions and subconsciously moved closer to one another and away a push and pull so to speak while so much was going on in the background showed how much they complete each other . It was their little cocoon/world and no one was in it while they were tugging at each other's hearts.

I don't know about organic but this was a flawless transition of emotions. From liking someone to being attracted to that person. They still have a way before either of them understand that this is love but this transition 😘
