Hi All,
A lovely morning to you !!
I caught up with the Episode today and Boy it was lovely to see Khushi all smiles, hope, goofy,saucy...
Anjali's Ghajini effect is coming into effect again... Hawww !! Anjali just realizes that the Holi is Khushi's first one, what about Payal ?? Is it her 100th one??... The Anjali- Shyam scene it reminded me of Holika Dahan ...
The unholy thoughts of Shyam that he will be the first one to apply the color on Khushi !!.. How will it be possible when DM is there watching out over her beloved children...Shyam is that amoral Rakshas nurturing forbidden desires in his heart, his ethics, his morals compromised by Lust ... whom does he lust , but a pure souled, great devotee of DM..Khushi.. will DM stand by and watch Khushi being molested ..No...There she stands infront of this Rakshas , the purified fires of her Lamp acting as the boundary that will keep shyam away or burn him to ashes if he dares to trespass ...That flame is none other than the fiery Arnav Singh Raizada !!
I know there has been a hue & Cry over Khushi's sleeping arrangement ..How it is inhumane etc etc... I think the CV's are being very careful here ..They simply can't afford to show Khushi as morally weak, un paramparawali Girl , it is imperative to maintain her as the proverbial Blue flame, the purest of all fires [esp when shyam is lusting after her ].. Khushi cannot come in and share the bed with Arnav until she gets acceptance from the elders particularly Nani ..Fingers cannot be pointed saying that ' This Girl slept with a Guy without the sanction of Adults blessing, who knows she might have teased and attracted Shyam too '...Hence the need to show Khushi as the untouched, exalted being ..
Now comes the ARHI scene of the morning , I loved the scene for its normality ...Khushi as usual excited like a child on the day of the festival, Arnav indulgent, listening to her ramblings with a smile, sleep filled eyes gazing dreamily on Khushi, Contentedly looking at the girl with whom he fell in love with..but then sllep is a demanding mistress , yielding to her pique, Arnav rasps out a mild ' Shut Up ' . ..which does not deter Khushi a wee bit from her monologue as she holds and continues to hold a important discussion with herself..A curious Arnav wants to know with whom she is speaking, when Khushi saucily replies 'With Herself ' ...A mildly annoyed expression crosses Arnav's face which quickly turns to amused smile as Khushi informs him that she has been crazy since childhood, the craziness being her USP which attracted the Granite ASR into her orbit ...But Poor Souls, both appeared deadbeat ...what appealed to em more was that Arnav was all ready to embrace sleep again when his interest is caught by Khushi's selection of color for him..A Man who who does not care for gaiety, for loudness, for rituals is very curious to know what color has Khushi chosen for him, his vexation , Khushi running away from him knowing fully well that it will exasperate him.. showed the understanding they have of one another ...A Sign too that Arnav is coming back unable to resist Khushi anymore..
A applause for CV's for showing the Gujjia preparation, whatever happened to the Kitchen, did the Sound dept take it over and sent Anjali packing to the hall with her dough n filling??... Loved the fact that Nani acted as the savior taking care of the girls , protecting the Gupta Sisters from the vicious tongue of Maami.. Anger and disappointment may be present in her heart but the love and affection for Khushi exists too and she will not brook an unruly words on them... Her laughter when Khushi tries to mollify her, Khushi's resolve to win her back & Nani's smile and Anjali's acceptance showed that Spring is coming back ...
The Next section that I liked was the colors and the chain of events recurring after it ...Khushi and Payal select some colors to play Holi but discover that they don't have any money to pay for it..Payal thinks of getting the money from Akash, which is shot down by the independent Khushi who wants to pay it from her own kitty ..Khushi goes in, breaks her piggy bank, discovers that she is short of cash ...what does she do next ?? Does She go to her well mannered, honest, caring, compassionate Jeejaji for Money, Does she ask him for loan, Does she even think about him...NO !!! How much ever she likes Akash.. she is not at ease in asking him , there is a reserve but with Arnav..No such compunction..She stops him , very authoritatively I might add..her words and the related action showing that she still does not take him for granted, does not think of him as her own but the feeling is there, the feeling that She has a right on him, the feeling that he is there to take care of her, her needs ...
Another moment was the authentic Rabba Vey ...A scatter brained Khushi breaks the Piggy Bank , the coins roll out under the bed..Khushi begins to collect the coins ... Arnav comes there, his feet crushing the pot, sees Khushi assumes that Khushi is trying to hide from him bec of losing in the track ...Khushi hotly refutes his opinion, points out that she has already seen him , spoke to him in the morning ... Just shows the fundamental difference between this two ...Arnav , who is always hung up on things that has happened, always relating Khushi's every action to the interaction he has with her [ it shows doesn't it how much Khushi rules over him ] never assuming that she might NOT think about him at all whilst Khushi who always lets go, thinks of the future, never pinned down for long... what a marriage of Past N Future as Present swims by..
Seeing her under the bed exposing her vulnerable skull bring out the protective instinct of Arnav ...
He immediately places his hand covering her head from taking knocks , Apart from the obvious Arnav will always be there for Khushi even when she places herself in peril [of her own volition]..What struck me strongly about this image was a feeling of Deja Vu... The same gesture was seen when Khushi's Bauji was hospitalized ... Arnav places his hand on her head , giving her the strength, conveying that he will be there, showing that he will alleviate her distress [ by paying the bill] ..Today too He does the same thing ... That Hospital even occured bec of Shyam, Shyam decided to go for the kill, initiated a major action which brought this two hot heads together , what will Shyam do NOW that will bring them closer, erase the bitterness or at least lead to a companionable love..
With Shyam name being taken , Can DM be far behind.. Khushi has begun to redress her relation's..and she begin's the process of patch up with her DM ..DM is the first recipient who gets colored by Khushi ...The colors are accepted as can be seen when Shyam is thwarted from applying colors on Khushi ...
Shyam's boldness is growing day by day or shud we say that his obsession has begun to cross the limits ...he has begun to force himself on Khushi , such is his effrontery that he has the gall to apply the Gulal right in front of his wife , o ...It is another matter that he failed to do so and his intention heard by Arnav . I am getting a feeling that he is going to set a chain of events in his obsession that is going to get Arnav and Khushi closer ...What will he do, will he try to molest Khushi, or have his outburst which is heard by Arnav or will it lead Khushi to understand why Arnav married her ...
