..Yes Sir..today's grand finale reminded me of the movie called 10 things I hate about you..which was actually a weird way of saying How many things I love about you in the grand finale of the movie by the girl to the boy..Highly recommended if you guys have not seen it..though it is quite old
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big, dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick ' It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh ' Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around. And the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you ' Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all
@ bold and now I think this where at least Arnav is headed..His restlessness at Khushi's impending departure...His desperation to make her listen, to make her look at him, to acknowledge him and not be doggedly stubborn and indifferent around him..
Poor Arnav ..I felt for him today..So now he is slithering on thin ice..He no longer knows the rules .
One minute he plays the boss..of note his having water from the cup first without asking her though I think this was also to show that Yes I don't care iff you don't accept my offer of help because I won't do it any more and the next minute it all fails and he turns to her to give that drink .which ofcourse she promptly refuses because she is sooo expected him to be the gallant knight ..hahah .Whichever way Arnav turns it was a a no win situation..
The next minute he is literally shaking her in desperation to make his point..All of it falls on deaf ears.*pun intended* as a manic Arnav hurls everything in his power to create enough noise to ram his point home but no avail..a last ditch attempt to open the door on Khsuhi's insistence which he thought would make her listen but She turned tail..and he lost face and got the biggest shock of his life as he discovered she is leaving..leaving for good...WHY???
When Khushi Kumari Gupta concluded their store roonm rendevous by saying how Arnav Singh Raizada who hates her,who hates her hasiyiat , who hates her on sight will have to hate her no longer because she is moving to Lucknow..I was tempted to add..
Yes, he hated you when you glided down in the red saree even though you had gone against his orders
Yes he hated when you curled up to him in the rain even though you had refused his coat
Yes he hated you when you fainted on him even though you had made him guilty as charged without an explaination
Yes he hated you even more when he took you home and tucked you in bed even though you had taunted him about being a bhagwan.
Yes he hated you when he let you resign without further ado even though you told him to go to hell
Yes he hated you when you shied away from his hand as he turned to brush off the sindoor even though you had dumped the whole bottle on his italian suit😆
Yes he hated you when he gave you water to drink even though you berated him about breaking your fast
Yes he hated you when he crushed you to his chest even though you refused to have anything to do with him and fainted promptly afterwards
Yes he hated you when he fell on top of you after he rescued devi mayyia even though you refused to hang on to his hand for help
Yes he hated you when you cried and tried to phone for help even though you plain refused to listen to him
Yes he hated you when you told him how he hated you even though he opened your door for escape..
Loved the way the track is shaping...the confusion on both sides..the pent up anger,frustration and regret on Arnav's side and the desperation at her impeding departure..
Loved Khushi's escape route..personfied by Devi Mayyia..It was devi mayyia who sent her to the store room and devi mayyia to the route home..She is running away because she who was always been ready to battle the odds is now outside her comfort zone ..a zone where she asks for time out from Devi mayyia...and she doesnot know yet why she should feel sad ..but let us say she is not happy..
AMAZING storyline and soo hatke...The realisation of being in love is probaly imminent in Arnav but Khushi is hell bent on running away to stop and analyse..but soon the twain shall meet..😃
Ok guys this is it..
Addendum..for those interested in the title ..
the films tagline was adapted from the sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and it is a beautiful poem about intense love...the love of a wife for a husband which reaches a spritual level
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,'I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! 'and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Nice way to put it Zainab!! If only our Jalebi had the slightest idea of how he is feeling...

I was puzzled about what he wants to say...and I think that is it...he wants her to know he does care...but alas, he just does not know how to tell her that...The guy has been totally spoiled by Anjali's ability to understand him even if he says nothing...If only Khusi could do that...😍
Our Jalebi is not that clueless ...she does feel something, but is totally confused by our very own ASR...He holds her like he wants her...but shows up in the temple with La fasting for him and breaks her fast...How dare Jalebi assume that the great Mr. Arnav singh Raizada may actually care for her...? Yet, she feels something in his eyes...that is why she searches for clues on his face... blurts out "Hum Lucknow ja rahen hein hamesha ke liye..." only to see his reaction...That is why when he does not give her water first and drinks...she gets even more hurt and angry ..he really does not care for her...She is sad, and hurt wants to run away...
The entire scene in the building...when he wiped her tears, picked her up and brought her tenderly to her house...she was unconscious...After he saw her in red sari...he got meaner and asked her to stand in the rain.. When he hugged her in the rain scene...he followed it by saying she is destroying his company's image by making a sorry picture for herself... How is she to assume anything else?
The thing is she wants him to care for her...and for the first time she is so hurt...she just wants to run away ...go home... she hates Delhi and everything that is here...
I was feeling so bad for him today.. I hope they show a scene with Anjali pretty soon...he needs someone to understand!!
The day she realizes his feelings for her will be a sweet day...!

😆😆Awww Sushi..you replied..I thought my post was too high brow for the show
Nahin I did write about hating if Khushi was go back from this point in time and think back..
Ofcourse he has been spoiled by Anjali but then he is an introvert ...probably more so as a vicitm of circumstances rather than because of his personality..
But yes the language of hate is as good as the language of love..
He wants to say something..?? your guess is as good as mine..maybe to give an explaination ..somehow I think he prob feels his fascination with Khushi is because he has not had a chance to explain himself..he could prob turn around and say he was not repsonsible but I LOVE YOU I think is too soon because he is still ASR and not ARNAV yet..😆😆*Vistaa where are you*
Baqi Khushi is scared..I don't blame her...She has been through hell and now it is pron a case of crying wolf for far too long..that now she is not willing to give him a chance probably because she also feels something and I have a feeling she wants to keep him a rakshas because he has soo far not given her any cause so far..
Sigh..it is going to be a long complicated story..and maybe the fairy god mother ..read devi mayyia will intervene

Hey Zainab, your posts are always very intriguing...love your take on things...😃

I need to read your first post again... not sure... what you are talking about here...EDIT...OK, Ok the tube light just went on...I got it😃

Thats it...he is an introvert! So much unlike our jalebi...These two will make an awesome pair...nothing matches...

Yes...Vis...jump in...waiting for your take...Waise I agree it is too early to start talking about "love".. ...but it unsettles him to know that Khushi sees him in such a bad light... Can you imagine teh great ASR...actually caring about what someone thinks...
Baqi Khushi is scared..I don't blame her...She has been through hell and now it is pron a case of crying wolf for far too long..that now she is not willing to give him a chance probably because she also feels something and I have a feeling she wants to keep him a rakshas because he has soo far not given her any cause so far..
Oh...I feel for her and I feel for him...poor girl, it got so much for her today that she was begging her Devi ma for a time out...
Sigh..it is going to be a long complicated story..and maybe the fairy god mother ..read devi mayyia will intervene
Even before Shyam...it is so complicated...actually I love that...they don't need the Shyamu angle to develop the anger...that is good news...I hope Devi maiya intervenes ...these two need some help... I was against a mariage track but just imagine if Devi maiya some how makes it happen accidentally... it won't be so bad...will it?😉

Dear Miss High Brow - 🤣

Okay okay - I am so super excited that someone else has been silently tallying all the things he has been doing (although many of them people will say all gentlemen should do and in the next sentence say what an complete as* ASR is, and not see the contradiction - I am totally off on a tangent - redirecting). It is so not that he hates her (he never did) - it's he hates (ummm, too strong), dislikes himself for being so vulnerable and connected to her to CARE enough to do these things.

And Khushi is running as fast as her jalebi juiced legs will take her away from the one who plagues her thoughts. I want to know how she is going to look Devi Ma in the face, daily, when she realizes it was a rakshas who saved it from shattering.

total side note - has anyone noticed how Khushi no longer complains about ASR's doings to her???? He broke her phone but she didn't tell anyone - and I am sure she would before. I am sure she is realizing her role in his rage.

Current, this is an exceptional post. I love every aspect of your explanation including the film connection. ASR hated Khushi for not appreciating and treating him like a person. She always considered him as a raksha and deep down it hurt him even if he was not aware of the name. He hated her for bringing unexplained emotions in him and for ill treating him. ASR just wants her to acknowledge him and listen to his words.

Lovely post! 👍🏼 Very well-written indeed.
A few days back I was about to post almost the same thing as you including the lines about the 10 things I Hate About You. It really does go along with the current track between Arnav and Khushi.
Right now all Khushi can see is all the bad things he has done to hurt her. How he's hurt her family. How he has hurt her parents. How he has no respect for her just because she's poor whatsoever.
She's right in her own place at the moment. The negative thoughts always overpower the mind. Sometimes the good things are forgotten. But i'm sure one day she'll realise that she should have listened to him, and given him a chance to say something. Hopefully it won't be too late then.
Arnav is in his own tornado of emotions at the moment. So many different things to say, to feel..Plus, she isn't even giving him the chance talk. So therefore, the built up of irritation, the anger because no one has ever ignored Arnav Singh Raizada. It's all driving him insane. Including the fact that he can't help feeling protective for her. No matter how much he hates her, he can't see her in pain, in tears. Which man wouldn't be totally insane by now.

I love where the track is heading now! You can't help but look forward to every single ArHi scene just to see how they're going to react to each other this time round. The creator's of this show have really got us tight around their fingers. I don't thing they're planning to let go any time soon!

Dear Zainab,
firstly thanks for writing this post ... i NEEDED to read this... After watching y'days episode i was so irritated at Khushi's behaviour and Arnav's vulnerability... But later I realized ... yeah they cant have cozy moments right away.. in fact they are not in a position to even TALK... I could imagine Khushi and Arnav's plight... and there came your post which was so SPOT ON... 👏
but what put me off y'day was not the fact that Khushi ran away without giving him any chance to speak .. I like the way story is building up... but I think this all could have easily ended in Thursday's episode itself... It was dragged till friday... The dupatta seq was not necessary... as WE, THEY(*you know who😊*) and even DEVI MAIYA KNOW about the strong attraction between the two ... and to have such scenes again and again is just dragging the story...

Btw... I loved to see Arnav in a t-shirt .. different from his 3-pc attire and he as usual looked WOW... 😉
And so loved the scene of Khushi talking to Devi Maiya and asking her to take a break 😆

All in all... episode was ok as far as the story is concerned.

Cheers,
Monsi
