'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. 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!👏 And a big hug from moi for keeping ALWAYS keeping it REAL!🤗
Invisible Line #1: Indeed...that very scene where ASR in "Swami" avatar is revealed to his sister. The emotions here were very real. Very palpable. She gets the message. She waits for him, even though she had been told otherwise. 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!
Invisible Line #2: He changes out of his work clothes. He calls out to her... "Khushi", she says "Aiieee"...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 he 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 medicines...Di gives him the medicines...I really loved how this was shown. The triangle at work beautifully...The shifting of the apex has started!!! Cut to the bedroom: Di feeds him the food prepared by Khushi... In a sense, she breathes life back to him! Whether he cares to admit it or not!
Invisible Line #4: He actually agrees to sleep on the bed after she insists on it! Allows her to tuck him in! She 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. But then her heart gives way to her mind...Her hand drops from his shoulder.
Invisible Line #5: He wakes with his defenses up! Her concern for him visible! Yet, he doesn't buy it! And then the fall--OUCH!😒 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! 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 medicine, 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!
Misses:
Shyam! And where were the chillar party?😕
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..."
