A day in the life of an IPKKND fan

A day in the life of an IPKKND fan (All times are EST, 'cos that's my timezone)

4.50 am: Wake up without physical alarm. Mental alarm rings saying SBS/SBB updates are out. Log onto IF and search for Tanthya's post desperately. Find it. Refresh page 50 times till link is up. Watch it. Fawn over Arnav. (Aww'Barun's so cute in the grey shirt!) Pissed that there's no SaRun interview. Hot damn, he's going to pin her to a wall and do almost nothing to her. Fans self. Wishes one was Khushi. Tries to sleep. Work at 8.30.

8.43 am: Coffee is hand. Need to start work. Just let me check what's happening on IF. Who's updated what? What, damn..no Pandora's box update? *Hits head on desk* Then thinks of Arnav pinning Khushi to wall and doing nothing. Drools. Boss walks in. Surreptitiously closes window. Pretends to work.

9.28am: Opens LU page. Spends next 30 minutes refreshing furiously. He kissed her? No, she slapped him? f**k, Snake did what? Lord, another Pooja! Naniji rocks! NK'what a sweetheart. Mamiji'go suck an egg! Buaji's hair extensions are weird.

11.08am: Has worked half-heartedly for last hour and a half. Conscience has been assuaged. Time to open IF again. Who says what? The doses are out. Drool. Outraged at the Khushi dissers. C'mon, she's just 18 years old and thinks love = acidity people. Perspective! Cannot expect mature thinking from her. That has to come from Arnav. Types furious Khushi defense post. Deletes before posting. (Too many cuss words, no coherence!) Likes all the Khushi-is-a-victim posts. ROFLs at all the funny takes on the episode. (Specially the ones with dancing emoticons!) Wished self could figure out how to make emoticons dance.

12.17: Lunch time. Sneaks laptop and food to lonely corner. Finds epi online. Done watching in 11 minutes! Skipped all Snake, Mami, Payal scenes. ArHi on for 11 minutes exactly. Rewatches the Arhi scene 2 times while finishing lunch. Sigh, the wall pinning was so dreamy. But totally different from all the 764 previous wall pinnings. His eyes in this one. Awww! Plus, new Rabbe ve tune is aweesooomme!

2.30pm: Boss wants to know if results are ready. Umm yeah. Actually, No. I was too busy reading this really cute FF in which Khushi's actually pretending to be married..and, oh sorry, yeah results! Tomorrow morning. Promise. Cross my heart. Shit! Need to stop telling boss about IPKKND. Works diligently for next 2 hours. Mind is only half on IPKKND. Well, 63% on IPKKND. Which is like, you know, almost half. (Clearly not a math major!)

4.15pm: Tea break with friends. Someone says something about Rahem's hand almost brushing Mopey's on purpose today in that show that rules the TRP roost. Raises supercilious eyebrow. Delivers a crushing retort on not watching regressive shows. Only watch shows with Sneaky snakejis, Mean Mamijis, and oh, (wait for it, wait for it!), hot hot hot hotwas like Arnavji! Friend walks away offended. Don't care. Online friends on IF much better anyway. Better taste. Better humor. More in common.

5.03pm: Boss has left the building. Time to go home. Yay! Wait, I'll watch that cute scene where he blows the mud out of her eyes one time before I go home. That reminds me of, oh, I dunno, him blowing mud out of her eyes?

6.36pm: Chai in hand, reading very sad FF update. Damn these tragic writers. Angst sucks. Surfs IF. What, a new spoiler? It's confirmed! Arnav will marry Khushi while hating her, divorce her while loving her, and father her child by accident. Oh, wait. Not confirmed. Nah. Oh, ok, confirmed from LM's FB page. He says, Love is passion. Cut it. (Huh?) No wait, I know. This means there's going to be one more hot, passionate ArHi scene. In which Arnav pins her to a wall, comes oh-so-close to her, and does, well, nothing. Yay for LM. Can't wait for SBS/SBB to show it.

10.48pm: Dinner over. Socializing done. Have read paper, made presentation for tomorrow. IF time. Oh, thank God. The passionate scene spoiler double confirmed by unnamed sources. Re-watches all the post-sangeet ArHi scenes. Drools over the kiss for the gazillionth time. Updates FF. Checks for comments on previous updates. Damn, just 3 more since the last time I checked. 20 minutes ago. Why aren't people commenting? Damn, I hate this.

11.45pm: Falls asleep watching the Diwali poolside almost kiss. (Sobti, why can't you always have hair days like that one?)

4.43 am: Mental alarm rings again.

That is (sadly!) my day people. Is your day better? Do you have a life? If you do, well done. (But you don't really, 'cos you're reading this!) and if you don't, welcome to the club. I would love to know what it's like for you.

Cheers!
Vidhya

PS: It's all very tongue-in-cheek. No offense meant to anyone, including myself, whom I diss quite a bit in this one. 😆

PPS: For other works (FFs,SS, OSs) please check out my Index.

OMG...Your day is so like mine...i only have to add an hour of gym, yelling parents, sulky fiance, Mumbai traffic, disgruntled project manager and a wonderful ipad to my list.

🤣 i am sure you are not the only one Vidhya!!

LOL that was excellent :)

awww I love that PB is such a big part of ur day! makes me feel so so special! hahaha and yes that is like my day! everything revolves around IPK and IF!!

Same here! I use to dream and predict things which might happen in the serial during my anatomy and biochem lectures! This show just make us go all crazy. Even now i have to complete my Histo record. But here i am sitting in front of the computer and reading the FFs in IF! My whole entire schedule for a day is ruined by Arhi. Now i feel incomplete without this show and IF! Uff! Arhi have turned my life upside down! 😆

thatz exactly how my day pans out nowadays except that I dont have a boss but have to be my own boss (which is worse torture!)🤓

Actually, your life is better than mine, Vidhya!! You didn't have a calculus exam the next day after the kiss.. And i'm pretty sure you didn't have to face the wrath from a certain senior lecturer while actually thinking about and also partly humming "teri meri". And oh, this one tops all the others..
And this is the most recent as it happened just this morning. You certainly didn't have to choose between racking your brains for that long formula from Binomial theorem, and well, racking your brains again, thinking what Arnav's reaction will be like, and get this.. in the exam hall!!! The worst part here, is that i have pre-boards going on, and have got prep holidays too... but nobody knows all those 'prep' holidays are mostly spent on IF, watching SBS/SBB.. And watching and rewatching that one video from youtube - Barun Sanaya cute sbs/sbb moments!! This is just one of the videos i worship and have darshan of everyday!

good lord! this is so disturbingly similar to my schedule!

😆..you dnt knw how much my parents and my friends are pissed off with my addiction with this forum and IPKKND..yaar I also dream about them in night...they have overtaken my life..pls sum1 tell me that it is just a fiction..
