There is a special sense of satisfaction, a pride in surveying such a work, a work which is rounded, full, exact, complete in its parts, which the superficial person who leaves his or her work in a slovenly, slipshod, half-finished condition, can never know. It is this conscientious completeness which turns any work into art. The smallest task, well done, becomes a miracle of achievement."

The ones who see you after a gap are more prone to notice the change in you than the ones who see you everyday! Their eyes have not been accustomed to this change, when they went away from you they were used to your behaviour as it was at that period of time, and when they meet you after a considerable duration they immediately pick up on the differences in behaviour between that time and now!This is exactly how it is with Nandkishore/NK!He is the only one in RM who left RM and has seen Khushi's nature before leaving and after returning. Everyone else has been at RM with Khushi all these days. NK therefore has an advantage of seeing Khushi with an unclouded view. This helps him note that all is not well with Khushi. The previous Khushi was full of life, smiles, laughter, pranks, and cheerfulness. The present Khushi however, is just dukhi. There is an unexplained sadness in her face, restlessness in her eyes, a tiny yet deep frown at the bridge of her eyebrows, and a drooping mouth that conveyed some kind of sorrow and anxiousness.Are you still wondering why none of the RM members caught these? It's simple really. When you live with someone for a period of time, no matter how well you know the person, sometimes you tend to overlook the minute changes in the person. You may feel that the change in Khushi is not at all minute, and I agree with that, but as humans we tend to get used to a pattern, we get habituated to daily life, daily people, and a routine sets in. Now, this can sometimes lead to 'taking things for granted' ' and in this context, I don't mean that the RM members take Khushi for granted, no, what I'm saying is that to them Khushi is being her natural self.Now, this is exactly what has happened at RM. For them, Khushi is new in the house. Her way of living, her real habits, behaviour and characteristics are displayed only after she's started living in RM. They have seen her overly concerned and anxious about Arnav, and for them her current behaviour justifies their thought that she deeply misses him. To them, she's a new bride; she has just started a new life with her husband, for them she comes across just as a wife who longs for her husband to be back by her side, nothing else. For them, this is the way she reacts, this is the way she handles things, this is the way she does things. They think all this only because they have never seen her at such close quarters, and since they do not really 'know' her, they assume that this is her true behaviour.I'm sure all of you noted how quickly NK noticed Khushi's sad face. Of course he would, his partner in crime that joined him in so many fun missions, a friend/crush who always corrected him and taught him new things, a friend who always listened to him and jabbered with him non-stop! A friend who is now not herself at all, who didn't attempt at correcting him on his first mistake, a friend who didn't even smile on seeing him' how could he not catch the disturbed emotions written all across her face?His gift instead of bringing an instant smile on her face (which his old Khushi would have done), brings forward the picture of a fragile soul breaking as she views his gift ' lovers in love, lovers in each other's hearts, lovers sharing the love, lovers by each other's side and together ' enshrined inside their heart of love! It only drives her despair further when she remembers the warm moments spent with her love as the gift reminds her of him.NK is devoted to this girl, we have seen in the past that he always tries to bring a smile on her face when she's down, always helpful and always has her best interest at heart. He's not going to let her be sad for long! After all, the 'Big, fat Indian wedding' is not far away 😉
===============================================================
PSSSTT... HINTS1. Samundar se do coin/ruppay:All I could think of was Samundar = Ocean = Arnav (Samundar in English means Ocean and The meaning of 'Arnav' is Ocean). Do ruppay/Two coins... made me first think of Anjali and Khushi. But then why would Maami say ki Samundar se Do ruppay dhoondna padega... which made me go on to the two truths to be presented before Arnav: One - The truth about Shyam's evil deeds and activities; and Two - Truth about the Will papers and how he conned Khushi into getting Arnav to sign them.
2. Besan ke ladoo: Buaji says 'besan ke ladoo' a second time in the show! The first was when Maamiji was busy eating them and enquiring about Arnav's well-being. This time, it's when Aakash is present at GH. This got me thinking... Buaji was made aware today of the discord Payal feels in her marriage, this was told by Payal herself to Buaji. So, when the time comes, if there is a fall out between Pay-Ash, then Maami as well as Buaji will join hands in bringing them together.
3. Rapunzel: Either my brain is working overtime, or there is a hint here in which I am unable to see a link (DB may be able to link it if it indeed it has been hinted). When Buaji was talking about how long her hair was I couldn't help thinking about Rapunzel. The lonely girl, locked up in a tower, with her long hair, until a Prince came upon her and climbed up her hair and met her. I'm sorry I am unable to think of anything right now, if it is a hint then undoubtedly DB will probe it and link it in her magical way!
4. Snow White, Mirror Mirror: Sighh... DB can give a better insight into this. I just picked up the hint thrown - but to unravel it is seriously messing my head! All I know is that Snow White here is about Nanhi Khushi and the Will which is in her name. (And for heaven's sake, stop boiling your heads over baseless rumours about Khushi in jail, Anjali has a miscarriage! They are still discussing the track, nothing has been confirmed yet!)
5. Shashiji at the doctor with Garimaji: Yippeee!! I was so glad when I heard this. The last time we saw any development on Shashiji's front was when Arnav rushes to save Khushi from committing suicide while Buaji is helping Shashiji with physiotherapy exercises. This is the second development towards Shashiji's recovery! Shyam's time is almost near it's end. Shashiji will be the one to provide the final nail against Shyam, while I'm hoping that Anjali will hammer the nail into Shyam!
6. Dark circles, spots on face: Clearly contiuing with yesterday's Social Stigma on Khushi. Seems like Maami will stand by Khushi when the society raises questions about her marriage (if it comes out, or if she leaves RM of her own accord). Along with Khuushi, seems like Maami will take care of Payal too sine she says, "Agar Payal bahu yaha hoti, toh unko bhi saath main le jaati". NOTE: She says Payal 'bahu', on other days she lapses into 'khoon bhari taang', today it was a straight 'Payal bahu!'
7. Banjo: This is my personal favourite of the whole lot of hints given today. It did seem like one of NK's goof-ups but my dear old gut told me that there was something more to it. A banjo, as most of you know, is a musical instrument. This instrument has its origins in Africa, and the African-Americans took to it while they were slaves in America. The instrument was a mark of hope, an instrument of change, a musical medium that brought happiness, relief and healing to the sufferers. It was a tool of redemption in an arduous journey! (Matches our story of Khushi-Arnav quite well na!) 😊 And what did NK say? "Banjo hogo ya bhaanji?" - Ab baby toh baby hai, boy or girl is a different matter, but the important point here is that the baby will bring with it a culmination of the difficult times. The full circle will be completed with it's birth. Arnav gets his redemption, Khushi gets her love, Anjali.. well let's just say that her eyes open to reality, and Shyam will be the outsider tapofying for his misdeeds.
4. Udhaari, sudhaari, shaadi main mazzaak, Big Fat Indian Wedding: For any regular Reduxain reader/writer, these were clear hints of Arnav-Khushi re-marriage! Arnav-Khushi's marriage was greeted with anger, tears and unhappiness. I think it was Naaniji who had said to Khushi-Arnav, "Aap shaadi ko mazaak samjha hai?" something along those lines. Yes, their marriage seemed to have been done in a spirit of mazaak by their family members. It was a 'galti' that had to 'sudhaar'. A mistake it was through the intentions, and just like NK said "Galti sudhaari" - so Arnav-Khushi will get a chance to mend their mistake of the six month marriage. A six month marriage, and an undhaar of few months is still left, and that will be wiped off soon from Khushi, but not for long. The big fat Indian wedding of Khushi's dreams will be there, orchestrated by none other than NK himself! 🥳
Since NK mentioned 'banjo', I immediately started humming the childhood song "Banjo on my knees"... Know it? If you don't then below are an extract of the lyrics:
I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana,
My true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry.
Oh, Susannah,
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee.
