Todays episode was all about carving a niche, making a niche , If it was about Khushi's time to regain her rightful place in Arnav's heart , then it was about time that Arnav began to make a place for himself in Buaji's heart too ..
Today's episode was a sweet one.. We already know that this track is about class difference and learning few life's lesson ... Middle class , The people who do not belong to Poor strata but are aware of the pains, troubles of being poor , carry, believe and perpetuate the superstitions, religious norms, myths , uphold our cultural beliefs and who live for one another..There is also another vital aspect to Middle class , They are very vulnerable to Peer Pressure..what we call, " Saving Face '.. They will do anything to avert 'Losing Face '.. did we not see Buaji practically pushing Khushi into a forced engagement when there was a graffiti on their wall linking Khushi & Shyam , yes , That time too, it was about Not wanting to Lose their face ..By the same token, Nothing pleases them more than the time when their community people and the whole society places a seal of approval on their action, on the members of their family ..Today we saw Arnav getting the stamp of approval from the clan and Buaji's beaming acceptance of it .. .. The Cv's showed us one more facet of Middle class to the viewers and the lessons will continue further.
Cheeky, Very Cheeky of the CV's 😆😆😆.. I really was tickled when they went on and on about Preeto , Yup , I am talking about the conversation that Buaji has about Preeto's wedding with Arnav .. Did You get the dig..Preeto is a show that is being aired on another channel and the heroine whose character's name is Preeto played Barun's heroine in Barun's Previous show... I love such subtle n Cheeky humor..😆😃
Buaji and Damaadji begin to have a heart to heart discussion on a subject closest to their hearts, Khushi !! .. Buaji begins to list out the virtues of Khushi, her compassionate nature, her ability to share the grief and happiness of others etc etc and what do we see, we see the camera zooming to show us Chillies !! it is a prevalent superstition spread from Mexico to India that Chilli's ward off the evil eye ..at the same time Chilli has stood for hospitality ..In the mexican countries they form ristras and hang it outside representing a sign of welcome, tranquility and warmth.. If we take that as a symbol ..Then we would say that right now Khushi is roasting, her warmth n Tranquility has been burned and only acrid smoke emanates showing off her wrath, her anger at the injustice meted out to her..and her anger is solely directed at Arnav since he is the only one who is affected by the smoke .
There is another thought in Indian societies, that burning of the Chillies will ward of the evil eye and a good sneeze will clear the fluids accumulated in the brain, clearing out thought process ..In a way this is a hint that Arnav has got his first hint that the picture of the terrace clashes with the reality of who Khushi actually is..
Jeejaji Hattiye , ...I just could not help contrast this with Bubbli and her Mr.A & Pabs ... This boy does not even know who Arnav is, has not even interacted with him yet he willingly and whole heartedly accepts him on the merit that he is the Son in Law of the aunty who live with them ..There is no begrudging of relationship , the acceptance comes from the heart .. The relationship is pure with no hidden intent in it .. You are not just the Son in Law of Madhumati but Son In Law to the whole community whereas in Arnav's world even the relationships exist clinically , with a tinge of formality, a invisible barrier that is erected keeping the relations in the secondary circle while I, Me, Myself is the first relation that is given importance ..
Miljhulkar kaam karenge tho kaam jhaldi hojayaega...Alas , we do not see the Mil jhul ke Kaam of Arnav and Khushi, had they been united and worked as a team ,then half their problems would have been solved but their lone ranger & Lara Croft acts keep them working in parallel lines towards the same goal , often hampering one another
Another obvious hint we got was that the marriage of Preeto will notbe smooth sailing and will encounter some rough weathers , which will be solved by Arnav or that something may happen that will give a gainful insight into Middle class mentality for Arnav.. In either case.. Arnav will end up carving a niche for himself with Gupta's and among the people .
A muddled and bewildered Arnav stands alone amidst chaos , not knowing which way to turn to, when Buaji comes in, praises the lord and lets the cat of the bag .. Arnav's mind rapidly clicks on the dots provided and he deduces that Khushi as usual has tricked everyone.
A reminiscent of Arnav's current status, he stands alone hugging his disillusionment, confused by contradictory feelings running thru his heart..Mind rejecting Khushi, Heart holding on to Khushi ... it is at this moment Buaj steps in and puts him out of his misery ..Buaji will provide him with the dots that will help Arnav in forming the sequence ..but Arnav will not let on the true situation to Buaji and will maintain a calm front..
I also remember a day when Buaji stood at the self same spot, invoked Nand Kishore's name in wrath as she cursed Shyam for his treachery and foretold that she will bring him down were he to cross Khushi's path again..and today she stands at the self same spot, praising Nand Kishore for giving her a gem in a million as her Son in Law.. Yes, Buaji will be a strong weapon who will be instrumental in bringing down Shyam.
Khushi comes out, warns Arnav to move but a irked Arnav demands an explanation before Khushi ca respond , there is a blast of sound and Arnav flinches from it for a microsecond before recovering himself and withstanding the onslaught to his auditory nerves.. Somehow it implies that when truth comes out, Arnav will loose his foting for a second but will regain his balance and stand fast against it..
** Barun and Sanaya were wonderful in these Segment **
Khushi rushes to get petals to be strewn along the path where the Bride and Bridegroom will do their Bidaai , Khushi climbs on to the ladder and tries to get the Marigold which is on a top shelf ,, but she fails to get it, Her husband who has followed her orders her to get down and Khushi agrees to do so with an ill grace but whilst descending her dupatta clouds her eyes and she stays put while Arnav comes to get her .
Khushi will be the first one off the line , who will be followed by Arnav but as usual, the Impulsive and rash khushi has not thought things through and she finds herself short of the goal of finding the truth ..So the truth remains near but quite far for Khushi, While Arnav will be lead to the truth by the actions of Khushi ..It will be Arnav who will help her out in getting the truth ..
Arnav orders her to get down, realizing the wisdom in his words, Khushi accedes to his command and slowly begins to descend but her descent gets baulked too as dupatta covers her eyes and she is unable to see anything with clarity .. Arnav himself climbs up to help her out , slowly removes the dupatta and sees her, the real her unclouded by suspicion, mistrust ..
Both begin to descend and at the final hurdle both take a tumble and are showered by flower petals . Arnav and Khushi begin to bond when there is a loud bang and Khushi rushes to help despite the cautionary warning of Arnav.
Y'day , I had said that Arnav has been anointed and prasad given ..today the sequence continues with the showering of blessing but not just on Arnav but also on Khushi, confirming that they are a couple and that they will fight against the menace and turn out triumphant..
Another interpretation could be that truth will come to them itself in other words, Shyam will gloat and admit everything and they become aware of the answer to the whole puzzle .
Marigold or Mary's gold is considered very auspicious ..It is said that on the day of Annunciation, Gabriel comes and informs Mary about the impending Arrival of Jesus .. and Mary had sown the seeds of Marigold to await the divine being with patience..
In Our Hindu culture ..Marigold has always been used for auspicious events bec of its color which denotes optimism & hope ...Not just that...Marigold also symbolizes total surrender to the will of God and here when the petals fall on the couple, it hints at their surrender to one another . Marigold also signifies the will to over come obstacles and emerge victorious ... it is for this very reason that Marigold is sought after during Vijayadashmi , the day Lord ram Prevailed over Ravan ..
Lets talk about the sanskrit name for Marigold ..Sthula Pushpa ..what is Sthula ..but a Pillar, a strong foundation .. and what is the pillar or bedrock of any relationship ..TRUST !! isn't it ...Yes .. Marigold in vedic culture stands for trust , a vital component for any relationship and when the petals fall on them.. we get the fact that trust will come back again eroding the mistrust , for Arnav has lifted the veil of mistrust and both are looking at one another ..
Just when things seem to be going well we hear a loud bang and understand that the DG has conked out ..Khushi volunteers to repair it but fails .. Arnav offers his help and succeeds ..
I know many of you would have been in despair when U saw this sequence, but it is not the bang that is important but the aftermath ...coz there is a note of optimism here ... when the DG bursts , neither Khushi nor Arnav are shocked, they instead set about mending it cheerfully ..Khushi tries to repair it all alone but is unable to repair it , she gives up earning a stain in the process..Arnav who had been a silent witness steps up, fixes the machine and also erases the stain ..in other words..Arnav will be the one who will begin to correct the equation and who will remove the stigma attached to her name..
The scene again where the CV's bring the ' Tum har kaam akele nahi karsakthi ' loop again ...what interested me was the reaction of Khushi ..When he said it first time, Khushi was confident to the point of brashness and she said with supreme confidence that SHE can do whatever he can but now witness her reaction, there is silence and then a pointer that HE does ..not I can do it but YOU do it alone , an acknowledgement that Arnav does get things done ..and he will get things done when the time comes ..
The final scene where Khushi comes in search of Arnav and does not find him in the room , she seeks him out and finds him by her favourite heartthrobs photo... A suggestion that Arnav may withdraw and it will be Khushi who will seek him out , bring him out ...
Or a hint that Arnav is being crowded into a corner from where the only release will be the blast of truth ..
NOTE TO CV's
A request CV's..could u run a warning ticker before the Dhoop Suhani starts ..So that viewer's like me can mute it and not get annoyed and control the itch to throw something at the TV.
Where does the spatula go ?? ...When Khushi comes out to call the kids to eat, she has Spatula but at the end of the corridor , the spatula disappears magically..
Also clear this confusion... I was given the impression that Titalia completed her schooling in Lucknow, how then did she get to be best friend with Preeto..
