This is my 200th Post. YAY!!
Performances:
The Raizadas and their brand new 'Delhi Main Bali' Hotel (Bali in Delhi Hotel)
1. Arnav if you're too busy to go on a honeymoon in Bali, your family is going to get its will done by bringing Bali to RM. Tycoons after all!
2. LOVED how Mamaji appeared as the Driver and announced the Valet service. LOVED Mama ji's announcement ' kaun mama, kaisa mama. I'm your valet cum driver cum attendant. Chabiya denge?
3. LOVED Akash's reaction at seeing Mama ji - Papa!? *taps Arnav's arm*
LOVED Arnav's reaction at seeing Mama ji appear as a driver.
4. Mami Mona Jaan, it was refreshing to see you in a different get-up that usual :) You look nice with open hair.
Actually, you really belong in places like Bali. How comfortable you are in even in the phony Bali. LOVED your beach shirt.
5. LOVED Arnav's reaction to Mami Jaan! LOVED Khushi's reaction to Mami Jaan. Arnav nearly smiled.
6. LOVED Nani ji in her new avatar. Nani ji, you are the smartest girl in a Saree!
7. LOVED Anjali with the new hairdo! You looked SHO cute!!
8. LOVED how they set up Bali in the RM
9. Rejoice, people! Arnav came down in a blue jeans. Someone heard your prayers.
10. Anjali used the correct term for Khushi in relation to Arnav - Partner. She is his partner, in every way.
11. Arnav and Khushi are made to sit and then to dance.
Erm.. why were they made to sit for 2 seconds when they had to get up again to dance.
During the dance, everyone is almost concerned when they see you dance the way you did. Still they applauded. RM is in perpetual sleep isn't it? When does the prince come this way to wake these sleeping beauties?
12. LOVED how Shyam was jealous when Khushi came down. Ouch! There go my hopes down the drain. I had to be in Arnav's place.
Shyam, might we remind you of your plan? You are supposed to make Arnav trust you. If you keep an eye on his wife while you're dancing with yours, Arnav isn't going to jump around giving out toffees in delight because you became trustworthy.
13. These guys sure save a lot of budget. Diwali in RM. Engagement in RM. Sangeet in RM. Wedding in RM. Holi in RM. Honeymoon in RM. Am SURE Anjali's baby is getting delivered in RM. They only get out for the rare cocktail party or for AR office or ASR ka sasural - GH or Khushi's favorite spot - Mandir.
Arnav and Khushi: Unlikely Honeymooners
Well, well, well! You may make every effort to run from life, but life sure pulls alongside and springs on you.
1. You had your major fight and word spread in RM. You gave your excuses for not going on honeymoon. But, Bali comes to RM for you. You must be the first couple who did not go to honeymoon, but honeymoon came to you.
What will you do when the family starts being the family and you just cannot get away!
2. The honeymoon couple enters the hotel prepared in RM and everything is so beautiful. Family dresses up as Hotel crew, welcome drinks come in. You are sent to dress up. How can you refuse!
3. Off to change. ASR mumbles. He is so embarrassed by his family's actions. He probably never thought that his two-minute wedding would cause all the problems of an actual married life.
Yep ASR! Whatever your appointment letter looks like, the married life comes with all its perks!
4. ASR: What was the need to do this?
Khushi: You won't get it. You don't know how to bring joy to someone.
Oh! That hits hard, ain't it, Buddy! Who told you to mess with a tigress? We certainly did not. In fact, we expressly remember telling you to not do it. But do you ever listen to anyone but yourself, or your Di? NO!
5. ASR gets his suit out of the coat-hanger and announces that he's going to change first. Khushi also has already got her suit off the hanger. He turns quickly to go to the bathroom.
But hey! Something is missing? No retort? She didn't argue over changing first. She didn't run before him to the bathroom. In fact, she ignored his announcement.
6. ASR: Did you hear? I said I'm going to change first!
That, ASR, says a lot. You could've easily gone to change after your announcement. She didn't say a word to counter you. Why didn't you? Instead, you repeated your announcement to make sure she heard it.
That was such call to fight it out again. You want her to counter you. After all, this is the only way you communicate with her. And if this too is cut off, life would be miserable. You have not been able to ever handle her silence - back from the days when you met her outside the temple and she ignored you.
7. Khushi: Did I say anything? In any case, you will tell me what to do, so that is what I'm doing.
GOOD GIRL!! (Actually, I couldn't stop saying 'Good Girl' after this dialog.) Give it to him. This is exactly what he needs. The Silent Treatment! Ignore ASR. He can't handle that. He can handle fights, arguments and spats - he hates your silence. He can't stand it when you ignore him. Go girl, IGNORE HIM like he was invisible. And watch him get crazy!
By the way, Khushi, ever since he's said that to you, you've been clinging to it. You're going to let him have it, are you? Do exactly as he says till it drives him nuts! I won't put it beyond you.
ASR, OUCH! The way you looked at her after she snapped at you your own requirement, you didn't look too happy that she was being obedient, even though you demanded obedience.
Dang it, Khushi! You are not in love with me, Fine! But, fighting with me? You have been doing it ever since we met. This, at least, is my right. Fight with me, dammit! You cannot just keep quiet. Argue with me.
8. ASR changed and went downstairs alone. But the moment, Khushi came down - all eyes!
ASR, you just cannot get enough of her. You have been seeing her almost every day of your life for the past several months. Yet, when she dresses up even if a little bit, you're all eyes! All you can see is Khushi, and the rest of the world loses its charm.
9. ASR is asked to hold her hand and to come to the table. He holds out his hand as a platter. Khushi, automatically, as a robot takes it. They are asked to dance, and yet again he offers a stiff hand. She mentions she doesn't know what he means.
Two lovely things Khushi says:
* You're going to teach me to do everything: What a taunt! What are you learning from him?
* You're asking me something, but I don't know what you're asking me to do: Bang on, again. And yet, you put your hand in his and still go ahead with what he is making you do. You really didn't know what he wanted to say when he offered his hand. The way you put your hand on his, he had to correct your hand's position to be able to hold it properly, before he could get you to dance with him.
10. ASR: Now don't start dreaming again!
ASR, do you know that she dreams of you when she's near you?
If you know that when she's close to you, she starts to dream, that what is this accusation about? Isn't there a slightest bit of confusion that if she dreams of you, how can she love another?
11. Khushi: How can I have my dreams with you?
Bang on, Khushi! Crush his ego. He doesn't deserve your tears. He doesn't deserve your arguments. He does not deserve your dreams. Yet, when he is around, he is all you look at.
Khushi, you ain't any less liar than he is. He is the ONLY idiot you have ever dreamed about. To the extent that you saw him everywhere you went. In fact, you even dreamed of being his wife.
12. ASR: I'm only doing this ...
ASR, that was a WAKE-UP call! Khushi has responded to the accusation you sent her way last night - you'd not let anything happen to Di, no matter Khushi does. She's told you that whatever she's doing, it is for Di. And notice, she did not say 'Jiji', she said 'Di'.
13. The Dance. Too formal. Too Stiff. Too Boring. Till of course, you see a jealous creep staring at your partner. Then, the dance really comes on! Payash stand out of the way and so do others.
Now, why did you do that? What manner of displaying anger is this? Were you doing this just to show Shyam?
And what exactly were you showing him - 'See, Shyam, how well I can dance with her?'
What was it, a show of ownership? Possessiveness? ... 'I have her with me, and there's nothing you can do about it.'
Hmm.. ASR, if you are making Shyam as jealous as you are, well, good plan! Khushi, another key coming your way to figure out the patterns your hubby's busy drawing.
14. Off to the room. Bedecked room and the first thing ASR does is walk into a table.
Khushi: Beautiful room.
ASR: *crack his knee* What the--?
15. Khushi: *concern takes over* Are you hurt?
ASR: *looks shocked at her concern*
Khushi: *fixes her expressions* Good. Payback!
You two are SO adorable and you get away with it because of your cuteness.
16. Khushi: Come, eat something. You'll need strength to get angry. And I'm not worried for you. I'm just doing this for Di.
Khushi, you never let go of a chance to tell him off. Silent Treatment, girl, chant it like a mantra! Wives all over the world have used. Trust us, it works! And that last one sounded more like a taunt LOL though, you may have meant it.
17. Khushi: The good thing about candles is I won't have to see your face. Though, I know you must still be looking at me with anger.
Take a jibe at him when he's not even talking to you. Why do you have to do this? You know he is crazy enough to do something stupid. And he proved it!
18. And ASR blows off the candles.
ASR, when you blew the candles out, I thought you were giving her her wish of not seeing your face. But no! You went to get the electric lights on!! Oh really!? You wanted her to see your face better? Or you wanted to see her face better! Or... with you probably, you just wanted to see the laptop better.
Though, I felt that ASR had walked up to her to give her a piece of his mind, but when she cautioned him against blowing off the candles, he did it deliberately to irk her.
And there we go! NO lights! Yippee!
19. ASR: Dekh ke nahi chal sakti?
Khushi: Mombatti bujhne ke baad dikh kahan raha hai. Bas aaye aur phoo kar diya!! (After you blew out the candle, I'm unable to see. You just came and blew them off!)
KHUSHI!! You're SUPER CUTE!!
Of course, it's the honeymoon of Arnav and Khushi. How can everything go right? Something must go wrong!
20. And yes, the matches are found. ASR, you gotta hand it to her. When in crises, she usually has the best ideas. You didn't even think of matches. For all we know, you might have thought of picking up a chair and sending it rocketing through the glass door.
21. And then!? The inevitable fall on the bed with the light of just one matchstick to help them see into each other's eyes.
Besides, I'm kind of surprised that he toppled with such force and the matchstick did not go out. AND, it still had enough fire left in it to set something else on fire.
22. Of course, Arnav and Khushi need to get on like a house on fire. But that doesn't mean you need to set the room on fire, literally!
Wherever there is this couple, fire is inevitable. If things are not getting hot on the honeymoon, let's set the room on fire. Arnav if you wanted the fire so much, why did you have to blow the candle out!
23. This couple must do every right thing in the most wrong manner possible or for the most wrong reason possible!
Right from the first connection, meeting each other was right, but they started on the wrong foot. From there on to constantly keeping in touch, to falling in love, to denying the love, to accepting the love, to getting married, to faking the SR, and now the honeymoon! Even to blowing out the candle on the honeymoon... for the ultimate wrong reason!
On the Lighter Side:
1. Fandom rejoices as Payash finally... finally ... finally hit it off! All the hard work in bringing Bali to RM did not go waste. At least someone progressed in life.
2. Arnav Singh Raizada is one amazing brother. In fact, he might have been the first in history who promised to enjoy his honeymoon for his sister's sake.
3. Shyam, you looked terrific as a waiter. Too bad! ASR did not tip you.
4. Mama ji: Arnav, apni missej ka haath to pakdo! ROFL (Arnav, hold your missus' hand).
5. Mami Jaan: Mr. Raizada part 2 aayi gawa!
6. Anjali: Chhote, you're forgetting a very important part of the Honeymoon.
Arnav: *clueless*
Anjali: your partner.
C'mon, Arnav! You can't be THAT clueless!!
7. Payal picked up Khushi's tendency to hyperventilate.
8. The honeymoon couple was served Salad for dinner? Laxmi eats better!
Precap:
Arnav! Khushi! Room! Everything on Fire! *panics and passes out*
