"Some people care too much. I think it's called love."
~A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
Loved the quote...sometimes too much love causes destructions too...
'The Tale of Crossing Invisible Lines'
I actually had a "Crooner worthy" response prepared in my mind after the reading the Crooner today, but I deferred to ASR's medical condition as I myself am under the weather.๐ Your words are a prime example of why I love this space! Telling us like it is, even when the truth can be a bitter pill to swallow (for all in this game!) Well Constructed. Critisized. Thrown Out. Then Re-Constructed yet again for a new day! You ROCK, girl!๐ And a big hug from moi for ALWAYS keeping it REAL!๐ค
Thanksss sweetheart...was waiting to know wat u'll think...actually was soo tired and sick while making the post...I had no idea if its going to make the sense -which I intended...like some comments inferred it was not entirely - being sarcastic not entirely poking at bashing groups - my message was something else...construct - destruct- reconstruct - is all that the Post was supposed to be...and thanxxx for not hating the Post ๐
Alsooo oh Anjali...u too under the weather - i guess like Sadie said the Crooner is suddenly virus infected- 5 of us are not well at the same time ๐ณ
Do take care and get well soon ๐ค
Invisible Line #1: Indeed..Your first quote at play: the one she loves, the one she hates, the one she can't live without...It is the same guy!๐...That very scene where ASR in "Swami" avatar is revealed to his sister. The emotions here were very real. Very palpable. Khushi gets the message. She waits for him, even though she had been told otherwise. Yes, fridge, food, her eating it aside, she realizes he is hungry, he has not eaten, he needs food. Unlike the afternoon, he does not refuse her and put her in her place! Not because he didn't have a choice (no one would deliver, but hello, 24X7 coffee shops anyone?), but because of her offer to cook! How can we forget those fingers which licked every Khushi cooked morsel off of them at the office!๐
Just loved the sense of domesticity that is slowly settling between them - "saath khaana nahi" - and then when he calls out o Khushi and "aaiee" that follows...he is surrendering his defences to her without realising - and she is slowly nurturing and taking care of it - at times in her games she forgets that but like yesterday when the Boomerang effect takes place - there is no one better than Khushi to stand by him and take care !!!
Invisible Line #2: He changes out of his work clothes. He calls out to her... "Khushi"..She says "Aaiieee"...There is a level of comfort there we've never seen before! Absolutely loved it! They are finally getting into what it is to be married! Somewhere, the line into it has been crossed! He has the hypoglycemic attack; I couldn't get over his hand here as it falls out to the side. For the second time, Khushi realizes she may have done him wrong! Everybody assembles. He calls out to di...di gets a cue from Khushi about the meds...Khushi brings the jaggery because that is what he needs Di gives it to him along with the meds...I really loved how this was shown. The triangle at work beautifully...The apex remains, yet there is a subtle shift in the triangle!!! Cut to the bedroom: Di feeds him the food prepared by Khushi... In a sense, she breathes life back into him! Whether he cares to admit it or not! Just beautiful!
BS was amazing in his acting yesterday - that guy is just spellbounding at days - and yesterday Daljeet was too good to 


Also notice - there was a very beautiful moment in there - the balance of the Triangle - when he gains consciousness, he still says "Di" - Khushi still has to make tha place in his heart - take the entire ownership which Anjali has - but when she reads the "dawaai" - she is going to learn and next time mark the ownership on that too - but yesterday was Anjali's episode...will come back on that later ...
Invisible Line #3: He actually agrees to sleep on the bed after she insists on it (first, with a "will tell di" threat!๐ Allows her to tuck him in! She watches him fall asleep... paces back 'n forth--loved the 'Rabba Ve' in the background here...reminiscent of the Rabba Ve we saw in Nainital when she was sick, and he, the caregiver. Also brought me back to the laryngitis episode...But today, her care was visible in ways we've never before! She pulls the recliner close to him...Keeps vigil. The tableau of husband & wife sleeping side to side was just beautiful! His waking up for water...He resists her offer again...She insists...And then the moment that captures that which will never be invisible to them...She holds him up...her eyes show relief, pain, concern, and sadness. For a moment she leans, almost wanting to kiss that face...Then her heart gives way to her mind...Her hand drops from his shoulder. But in the end, the hands meet, they are reassured by the mutual touch!
Loved and agree to everything you said...their mutual tussle of she ordering,he refusing and relenting was perefectly done...Will say on the last few lines...yes Khushi wanted to kiss...then she withdraws and goes back with her vigil...
but there is a moment when he wakes up and after the cough sleeps back second time "mujhe karned dijiye" there is a moment when the hands entwine...like u said meet - but then he drifts off - he still has to get the Trust build up inside him - he didnt hold her hands - while Khushi trusts him with entire being - that even when she is unconscious every time - she is holding onto him
Invisible Line #4: He wakes with his defenses up! Her concern for him visible! Yet, he doesn't buy it! And then the fall--OUCH!๐ It will be interesting to watch tomorrow; I do think he will reveal certain truths to his sister...The hairline crack will start to see a widening!!
Definitely progression in their relationship! Trust also starting to creep itself in! I kept remembering the poem you referenced from ZNMD yesterday! How he insisted on being on his own, yet, in the end, he crossed his own lines to let her take of him! The development of dependence, indeed! If he can't see this side of her now, how will he truly appreciate who she is when the MU is done!?
Anjali was brilliant today! While her expressions in the first scene showed her apprehension, she did not allow that to mask what she expected of Khushi. Moreover, all her actions were subtle. She gives him the meds, she gives him the food, Khushi is still a bit in the background. I also thought it was interesting that as she left ArHi's room, she reassured Khushi that he was fine. But the implication to me was that he was ok this time, but lets not go down this path again! I also liked ASR's scene with Ms. B. He was caring enough to tell her to sleep because she maybe tired---lol, he's starting to be influenced by the kids in his life!๐๐
KUDOS to our NOVICES! If NOVICES act like SARUN, give me a screen full of them ANYDAY!!๐๐
Misses:
Shyam! (I know, I know...want him back!๐) And where was the chillar party?๐
yes we want that Snake back ๐ and chillar party is on a weekend break ๐
It was an ArHi packed episode, marked with a shift in emotions to another level. Now I wait for tomorrow! Love your song choice for today! Its perfect for the special Rabba Ve we witnessed!
"Dil toh hai dil, dil kaa Aitbaar kyaa kijiyee, agaya joh kisse pe pyar kya kijiye...
yaadon mein teree khoyee, raaton ko main naa soyee
haalat ye mere dil kee jaane naa jaane koee
baraso hain tarasee aankhe, jaagee hain pyaasee raate
aayee hain aate aate, hothhon pe dil kee baate
pyaar mein tere, dil kaa mere kuchh bhee ho anjaam
bekaraaree mein hain karaar kyaa kije..."
