Yes, today was about Awakenings and so much more. We never can define when or where we "fall" in love. All we know is that it is there, we feel it, we breathe it, we live it. Sometimes it takes a step out of the ordinary, a moment for us to finally recognize and take a picture of that love and confirm that what we have been feeling was always right. We had not second guessed it. That is it our ultimate reality. But love has different manifestations, and to that end, we saw two poignant relationships at play so realistically and beautifully; a testament to the fact that this show is ultimately about relationships and finding equilibrium within our hearts. Arnav proved why he is a good husband and a brother today--it was a true capture of his character--and helped affirm his role in both his wife's and his sister's lives."Love is another kind of power, which shouldn't surprise you. Magic comes from emotions, among other things. And when two people are together, in that intimacy, when they really, selflessly love each other it changes them both. It lingers on in the energy of their lives, even when they are apart."~Jim Butcher"Jadoo"--Part 1Magic...I felt it from the moment they hit the floor. An awareness of deja-vu, and in that moment, time stood still for a moment, yet again. Her mother and aunt bring them back to reality. Ever concerned, they implore Khushi to play masseuse to him. After all, he is hers...why shouldn't she be the one taking care of him? Just the thought of having her close to him makes him forget his own excuses against any help just a few minutes earlier. His hands go immediately around her shoulder...He has a conversation in mind that he wants to continue...Seeing her husband in a state of undress makes her very conscious that they are alone. His humor still very much intact, he picks up on her uneasiness...Why should something so natural be uncomfortable for her? Touches her ever so lovingly as their foreheads meet and his finger gently nudges her nose. Affected, her silence and uneasiness permeates the room again, as this time, she moves to heal him. The fall first becomes a metaphor for him by him. Di's words about people's intentions form into a question: Does she want to see him fall? Implicit: Will that make her feel better? Surprised and stunned...Still silence. "Aapko kya lagta hai?" she questions him back...The loquacious one turns rhetorical...evading him. Turning tables and positions on her, he reminds her that her eyes speak louder than words...Her eyes-those orbs which have been a case study for him since the day they met--today tell him the truth again...They show her love, desire, the uncertainty, and most importantly, the pain, too. What her words will never admit--ah, that dimaag won't let them--the heart very openly does..."Kya jawab mila aapko?"...His smile gives her answer away...and then..."Accha hua hum gire"-- Their most significant "conversation" to date about their "feelings. In order to finally realize love, they both had to experience what it is to "fall" in love...Love doesn't happen in a vacuum...Love grows from the recesses of the heart, through pain and through joy, through experience...thats when you realize its significance in all its manifestations. "Phir se laal hogayi"-she understands and feels the "magic", too...No, it hasn't changed even as she struggles with her pain. Who better to understand it than him? She realizes--yes, awakening, Archu--that he has read her heart; Buaji's voice an abrupt ending to her ever growing comprehension. But for now, she moves away from the magic.Without giving himself away, the wheeling, dealing, and wooing continues in full form. Giving her a challenge--because she thrives on them and he knows it--he ups the ante on the charade. That one scene where he tapes her mouth-- a reminder again that her eyes do all the talking, when and where it matters. He caresses her mouth, and her cheek as he reminds himself how precious she is to him...forever...If only she would "hurry up" and realize what he is doing for her..."Jadoo"--Part 2Wants and Needs--ReciprocatedTheir time apart doesn't put Arnav far from her thoughts...that telepathic connection at play again, his phone call reminds her that the "deal" is still on...Now she has to hold vigil...be his radio...never stay away from him...The game still on, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada now comes into her own in this "game". She plays to it beautifully...Gone is the old Khushi who so reluctantly and in pain completed her task for the mighty ASR...Yes, her himmat ever intact, she is now the kaneez and patni to her "Jahanpanah", her "Aaqa", her master...Tongue 'n cheek just like him, she calls him every hour on the hour to alert him that she is always available...Double entendre aside, what is significant here is that he is front and center in her mind, too, just as she is in his; the magic never ceases. That yin-yang at play again, albeit in its own strange way! It is her "haq", after all!"...Blood is thicker than water, even if the only thing you've shared with your people have been hardships and miseries."
~Maria DuenasAs he is slowly getting answers to his wife's silences and for her to open up, another person awaits his smile and his love. Making good on his Rakhi promise, he leaves Khushi at GH to check-in on Di. The sweet badaam kheer brings the siblings together to mark a new beginning and happiness in their lives. The baby's ultrasound now a reminder of bloodties being redefined--for the first time, Arnav and Anjali will not be alone. The baby will tie them together yet again...The only being that has a part of each of them, and what makes them. The significance of Anjali's words--her new hamesha--is not lost on him. She is trying to pick up the pieces; find her happiness-but he has always been rock. No matter what their differences, this will never change--this bond was predetermined. Surely, all of us who have siblings can relate!😊 She has always been his world, and today he reminded her yet again...He will be there for her and that baby...forever. I have always said Arnav Singh Raizada will have his two shaktis with him. Now and forever. Both his sister and Khushi complete him. For those of us who have always pinned Khushi against Anjali, and vice versa, today we got our answer.Other thoughts:~Garima, Garima, Garima! Amen for a mother-in-law like you!!! Just love Arnav with ALL the GH ladies!~The dialogues took the cake again; our boys are having such a field day here--yeah, ASR, I am sure you want her available at anytime!☺️😳 His "hurry up" was so cute...and meaningful!😉 "Khushi ke haath main jadoo hai"..😍~That clock in the gift-wrapping scene drove me crazy...Must be from the mad hatters' world...~Finger kisses--oh, how adorable!!!! Everything about that bedroom scene at GH was perfect. Can't get over his disappointment as she moved away from him after Buaji called out to him...😆~BD: Ughhh!!!!🤢~Is the guy who came to the RM door Aman???😲😲 What?😲~11 days...Yet, I was a little disappointed at the precap...There is a fine line between creativity and redundancy, CVs...do we really need another 24K charade to get to Khushi's "breaking point"? I have seen spoiler pics and am not too hopeful...a sense of been there done that...I agree with you, Archu, I think a promo is critical at this stage. The hug promo from a few weeks ago created TRP magic. Taking it a bit further, here in the U.S., we only get to see the fourth promo for IPK.😕 Is this really how SP wants to market its programming? A seemingly redundant track (for those of us who don't have the benefit of dissecting this show on a daily basis) and no promos is a dead-end. Plain and simple...We are not moving forward here, not reaching out to new audiences. Lets not rest on our (temporary) laurels, SP management! Your leads & the rest of the team can only do so much!Sobti was magnificent today in his emoting and in his voice modulation. He must be so relieved to play a smiling ASR😆...couldn't help but notice hints of his own personality shine thru. Sanaya's yawn in that night vigil was so adorable...again, their chemistry is so undeniable!! I loved Daljeet, too--A very natural and endearing Anjali today...My heart did a somersault while watching the siblings today!Archu, thanks again for a wonderful Crooner!👏 Priya, miss you, hun, and hope all izz well at your end!😃Pic Credit: FBMy song choice today is "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel...The title is self-explanatory, and these lyrics sum up everything..."All my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside...
In your eyes,
the light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches...
In your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes,
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete,
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes..."[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3kFPBtc9BE[/YOUTUBE]Finally, Suba, Sej and Divya...BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 🤗 F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!!😃
