Arnav would have learnt a lot more things abt falling in love with a girl Called KHUSHI and Khushi would have learnt a lot more that leaving behind a life without Arnav Singh Raizda is not easy well lets say is impossible

Points to ponder:

Khushi you were taken aback when he questioned you "Did you miss me".. He gottcha.. didn't he!! How are earth are you going to survive after you so called resolution for a life without him.. Yes the above quote you said it to yourself. You know it girl!! Accept it.

This is a poem close to my heart. We often blame CVs. For every little thing. We forget to see the positive side. For our baby to grow up as a nice being, its our duty to reprimand him/her, But also we need to pat on their back. Redux's stands for positivism. The very essence of Redux is Positivity. So this poem is From Reduxians to CVs, From one reduxian to another and also From me to ye all.

Condensed from an editorial that originally appeared in People's Home journal W. Livingston Lamed

Father Forgets

Listen, son:

I am saying this as you lie asleep,

one little paw crumpled under your cheek and

the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead.

I have stolen into your room alone.

Just a few minutes ago,

as I sat reading my paper in the library,

a stifling wave of remorse swept over me.

Guiltily I came to your bedside.

There are the things I was thinking,

son: I had been cross to you.

I scolded you as you were dressing for school

because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel.

I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes.

I called out angrily

when you threw some of your things on the floor.

At breakfast I found fault, too.

You spilled things.

You gulped down your food.

You put your elbows on the table.

You spread butter too thick on your bread.

And as you started off to play

and I made for my train,

you turned and waved a hand

and called, 'Goodbye, Daddy!'

and I frowned, and said in reply,

'Hold your shoulders back!'

Then it began all over again in the late afternoon.

As I came up the road I spied you,

down on your knees, playing marbles.

There were holes in your stockings.

I humiliated you before your boyfriends

by marching you ahead of me to the house.

Stockings were expensive -

and if you had to buy them you would be more careful!

Imagine that, son, from a father!

Do you remember,

later, when I was reading in the library,

how you came in timidly,

with a sort of hurt look in your eyes?

When I glanced up over my paper,

impatient at the interruption,

you hesitated at the door.

'What is it you want?' I snapped.

You said nothing,

but ran across in one tempestuous plunge,

and threw your arms around my neck

and kissed me,

and your small arms tightened

with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart

and which even neglect could not wither.

And then you were gone,

pattering up the stairs.

Well, son,

it was shortly afterwards

that my paper slipped from my hands

and a terrible sickening fear came over me.

What has habit been doing to me?

The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding

- this was my reward to you for being a boy.

It was not that I did not love you;

it was that I expected too much of youth.

I was measuring you

by the yardstick of my own years.

And there was so much that was good and fine

and true in your character.

The little heart of you

was as big as the dawn itself

over the wide hills.

This was shown by your spontaneous impulse

to rush in and kiss me good night.

Nothing else matters tonight, son.

I have come to your bedside in the darkness,

and I have knelt there, ashamed!

It is a feeble atonement;

I know you would not understand these things

if I told them to you during your waking hours.

But tomorrow

I will be a real daddy!

I will chum with you,

and suffer when you suffer,

and laugh when you laugh.

I will bite my tongue

when impatient words come.

I will keep saying as if it were a ritual:

'He is nothing but a boy - a little boy!'

I am afraid I have visualized you as a man.

Yet as I see you now, son,

crumpled and weary in your cot,

I see that you are still a baby.

Yesterday you were in your mother's arms,

your head on her shoulder.

I have asked too much, too much.

Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

' Archimedes of Syracuse

Accha Hua Hum Gire!

Lets take Khushi Kumari Gupta. She is that sort of a person who has an effect on everyone around her. Its very difficult not to get effected by her. And the problem with her is her heart(object) will touch (get immersed) everyone around her. The result of this is the relationships in her life. The deep impact of buoyancy effect. She gets immersed in the life (fluid) so much that when she tries to pull herself lot of fluid gets spilled. It's a undaunting task in itself. Lets take few examples.

She came into the life of Shyam (when the hell will he be back..Cannot wait for him any more.. Can you imagine I am revisiting old Shyam scenes to remind myself of him) anyhow.. She came as a whiff of wind in his life. And he was bowled over by her. She made an entry into his heart replacing enough fluid. That is the impact of Khushi Kumari Gupta in your life. Be it Happyji, Shuklaji or HPs of Raizada house or be it Lakshmiji.. she straight away makes an entry into the heart and the weight of fluid displaced will be quite a lot of ounces if measured in quantity. Its very difficult to ignore Khushi. For Buaji she is her favourite Sanka Devi, for babuji the cynosure of his eyes, for ammaji her favorite daughter, for Payal the kiddo sister. For Naniji she is badi bahu whom she cannot stop herself from praising. Everyone around her kind of get entranced by her. She touches your very chord with her antics. That's Khushi for you. The one up above had plenty of time in his hand when he made her. Gave her special attention. And hence the buoyancy effect.

Now lets come to Arnav Singh Raizada. In his life the buoyancy effect is always light weight. Except his Di, no one had ever sunk in his heart. Khushi started floating in the beginning and gradually we saw her getting immersed in his heart replacing enough fluid. Right now the effect of Khushi in his life is such that Arnav/ASR/Chotey all three of them are working together for a common goal. Bringing Wifey back to RM mission. Well when he said Accha hua hum gire, it must have stirred his very soul. I was shocked to hear the word fall from Arnav Singh Raizada's very mouth. The man who proclaimed that he writes his own destiny, acknowledged that he fell and it was all good. No ego. Love can change a being inside out and OBD is prime example. I wish the past ASR would watch from distance the present ASR. He would not believe it himself!!!

Desire is the key to motivation, but determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek -Mario Anderette

With love comes a sense of desire, a sense to completely want the other person but only after the realization strikes. It's not just based on mere attraction for that would be addressed as lust. Its based on such a connection that pulls two poles towards each other, brewing passion between them and entwines them in such a way that they are bonded for eternity. Arnav and Khushi share such a relationship that is filled with passionate love that longs to be with each other at every moment.

Arnav's struggle to have Khushi accept him continues today. The two slip on the spilled water from the roof and fall in each other's arms. The fall that is bringing them together. This contract is nothing but an end to their relationship. They relationship may exist but will without a name. There would be nothing to address them both as equals standing together on one platform by each other. This fall will bring the duo closer than before, breaking the fences created by the blessings & permissions from elders. Another of the beautiful moments.

Garima has begin to look through Arnav now. The woman he had kept at the most distance is the one who is understanding him well. Arnav holds onto Khushi to go back towards the room. A subtle touch that both need each other and Arnav has accepted it whole heartedly.

Arnav settles himself on the bed, awaiting when Khushi brings the oil for the massage. A small 'what the' from him, expressing his reaction for what he hadn't been accustomed to before and retaining the characterization of ASR who has fallen in love. The gasp Khushi lets out seeing him unbutton his shirt was fascinating. This woman is deeply affected by the close proximity and though subconsciously she acknowledges the fact what they both share, she's not at all ready to accept it or either show that she believes it!

Aap ke 24 ghante hain, jo chahein karen!

Did she even realize for that moment that she had actually given him a right over her. She might have stated it as a casual fact but it clearly wasn't midst the conversation and situation they were in. I loved how Arnav pulled her towards him and though for the first few second she tried to hold back, the desire on her face became evident and she gave in. She herself leaned bit more until Arnav just stopped hmself, she getting herself off guard and trying to blend in that she hadn't done anything. The desire and longing is increasing and Khushi won't be able to hold back any longer. I loved how Arnav stopped at the just the "wrong" moment and let her see that he respects her that he can wait.

*by wrong i meant, "complete the damn kiss already!"

The increase of comfort level was beautifully pictured. Arnav asking her to help him out like its the next thing to do, Khushi settling beside him closely to massage! ahh, the moments.

"Bua ji ne sahi kaha tha! Tumhare haath...kaanp raje hain.

The brief moment when he realizes her uncomforted position, and tries to handle the situation with flirty remarks.

"Tumhe tou bohot accha lag raha hoga na ke main gir gaya?"

"Waise Di kehte hai ke ham jab girte hain, jab koi hamare bare main bura kehta hai. Tum ne tou mere bare mein kuch bura nahi socha tha na?"

I simply loved the emotions playing on Khushi's face. She is that one girl who'll do anything to spare him the heartache and rather take it on herself. She is the one who'll actually stab herself even if it means that in the end of it all, he'll be happy. The very fact that he doesn't realize at that moment that she had left him for him plays out as she looks ahead with eyes swimming in desperation. He picks up immediately and pulls her down. The smooth flipping, where he doesn't completely dominate her but only with her acceptance that he would be proceeding.

Jab tum khamoosh hote ho tou tumhare aankein sab kuch keh detein hain.

He can actually see through her. See that how much she hides inside herself most of the time for other's, that she is a person to live for others and that she won't be admitting it easily that she has indeed fallen in love with him too. The intense gazing session captured the growing desire inside Khushi and the love now unmasked on Arnav's face.

Aur kiya jawab mila aap ko?

Accha hua hum gire.

The moment where they both are the only ones conversing, without letting the others know anything. Where eyes are speaking volumes and only both of them are able to understand the emotions underneath them. The brief touch of longing to be wanted and not wanting to sacrifice in Khushi's voice increased the intensity of the moment.

He finally complements her that she indeed has the magic inside her and she accepts it.

I liked the little rummaging with the gifts. Though Arnav is all set to have her bring on such a level where she won't back away from admitting, he's also keeping her values intact and making sure that his behavior doesn't force her to change. He has appointed her for a job and he is having her do the work so she doesn't feel that he had done it out of his responsibility.

>>Notice the fact that this time Khushi neither backed away nor tried to move him when he placed his finger on her lips. It was as if its the most natural thing to do, both showing their acceptance to each other. A beautiful moment.

Arnav dismisses himself and leaves to see his sister. The fact is drilling inside Anjali that Arnav hasn't drawn away from her. Both share a moment where they once again promise to be with each other. The sibling bond was beautiful and it just showed the strengthening faith of Anjali in Arnav and Arnav standing up for his sister like he always claims to.

The Phone Calls!

And just when Khushi thought that he had forgotten, he calls up saying the exact what she was about to do. I love how synchronize these two can be. Though they both are intentionally trying to tease each other, they both were with the though of having each other by them.

I loved how patient Arnav was, and only because he loves her so much that he's ready to tolerate all her non sense for his whole life. the pleading of 'mujhe sonne doo' was lovely and showed the ease they are at. addressing him with grand names, whose meanings i'm very much unfamiliar with! It was lovely!

The episode reflected the growing relationship between two and Khushi shifting a step ahead. We are in for one eventful ride.

Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani were bang on with expressions. Never once failed to impress.

What do Arnav really Want? was the question that provoked my thoughts in todays episode!

Let me see if i can discover what i felt he want at the end of this post!

Does he want Kushi to work for him,does he want kushi to do chores for him,does he want kushi to feel suffocated,frustrated with him, does he want kushi to take revenge on him, does he want kushi to toruure him???

Well, Annswer is NO..a Big No indeed!

Arnav wants Kushi to understand the feelings he has for her, he wants her to sense the respect and dignity he holds for her likes,dislikes,values,morals,lifestyle,forgivingness and selflessness,he wants her to feel secured in his company, he wants her to experience the womanhood in her which does dhak-dhak when in his proximity, he wants her to realise the pleasure he seeks in her smile and craziness, he wants her to be a solid pillar at times of adversity, he wants her to know he actually loves to be with her, he wants her to consider no matter what he always will be her anchor sharing joy,happiness,sorrow,misery,he wants her to notice the Divine guiding factor that brought them near not once but repeatedly and still its continuing to bring affinity within them and finally wants her to accept him as Hers as he did his part to himself on declaring her to be his Soul mate,Other half of each other that completes each other. Now babuwaa is all bent on yelling loud to the world about his feelings of love for her!

Is he taking the right path?

He's on a learning curve..he exactly knows what he wants! So for him its been a trial and error! He flips, he's correcting,he wins..hes building on..Surely the destination is clear and he's using all his capabilities in reaching there! His journey to her Heart!!!

He understood Kushi loves him dearly, she can never ever cause problem in his life rather chooses to move away if she can cause a slightest pain to anyone and especially to him, she has high morals,values and likes to live life according to her moral compass, she loves simple things to money,fame and richness, she give most importance to relations,toping relation with him and his Di,She can't bear to put him in a situation to choose between his Di and her, she listens to him,she looks for him at times of adversity,she feels lost with his proximity, she's hurt far to heal with his attitude but forgiven his deeds, she is a woman of self-respect,never likes to confide her true feelings with anyone, she started to open with him and when again he cut the trust to confide into pieces that she in actual is alone at heart! He understood her true face..that behind that smile..theres pain which she's denying to share with anyone and wants to move away from him in the name of contract..

With this gained knowledge about her, he wants to make her his completely by redoing things which might build the lost trust in her..hes taking baby steps,not missing any opportunity to touch her heart which right now is closed out of fear of losing him again!

He learnt Chotte or acha bacha arnav is not Kushis Man but his ASR avatar is what she fell for and she brought Arnav back to life!

The strategy he took is Combo offer of ASRs attitude,arrogance,style with Arnavs sensibilities,love and gentleness..a Mega Combo Drool Worthy ASR who Kushi equally We are not able to control our dhadkanen every time he does something naughty!😳

How Is it with kushi?

She's lost! She has lost parents, she feels she's the cause of misery of her beloved ones, she wants to move away from her love..

Does she know whats the cost of this..yes, she do know it! She knows what it takes to move away from her Arnavji, she knows her life will be of no meaning if he's not with her, she knows she will be a anchor less ship in a ocean, she knows she will be a fish away from water...Still, she chooses the pain than to give pain to his loved Di , she can't take she being responsible for Anjalis shattered love/dreams, rift between her Arnav and Di..She keeps seeking her constant support DM to give her support to face this and shares her anguish towards departing post 12 days from her LOVE!

Is she learning?

Yeaa..yeaa..Shes noting! she's concisely taking it slow and steady! She's learning that unknowingly her life is and revolving around Arnav,his happiness,his needs,she's learning that he's the first person she looks upon, she's learning whats the meaning of her dhak-dhak, she's rejoicing the new awkwardness thats between him and her,She's enjoying the closeness..but she's scared to accept..she has broken multiple times and she feels she can't take another blow! So retorting to Antics in her own way to run away!

Now coming to the episode, i will touch the scenes on the background emotions i could sense..

When Both of them falls on each other, Arnav is mesmerised by the fact that he's holding her close to him while Kushi questions the almighty that why this should happen when she wants to go away from him..shes feeling difficult to detach herself from him at every utterance of his touch, his proximity, his.amma/buajis assertion about her rights,him calling her with a stress on Singh raizada or biwi as she knows this bond is not a easy one to break or not to live with!

The moment buaji and Garimaji comes to enquire, theres a sudden thud from her thoughts to reality..so her fear, her nervousness and her confusion when she stands up to support Arnav to help to stand tall..

On knowing about Arnavs hurt back, she gets back to her antics only to cover her underneath emotions!

When Garima and Buaji asks her to molish for which she again gets into a deadlock! She doesn't want to do that as she knows what his proximity can do to her,she knows Arnav started noticing about her true emotions and afraid of being caught but can't deny as she doesn't want anyone to know the tension going between the two!

On the other hand, Arnav is very happy to get molished from Kushi as this will be helpful in sharing some genuine feelings of his to her.He knows her awkwardness,her hesitation,her heartbeat,her losing senses onto him..Still want her to experience that he's Hers and its OK to have those sensations for him!!!

The moment she hears What The..the trade mark, she's so happy as she feels connected like We the fans on the" what the! " I feel the way he says is a point she fell for him!😉

Seriously BS took this to a greatest level anybody could ever take! It has become a synonym for ASR!👏

Later again realising he would catch her smile turns into antics about sarsoonka Teil!

What is with this Teils ..earlier Chameliki Teil and now Sarsoonka! What The!

Loved Arnavs expression at the look of Oil! Oh man! killer expressions on its peak!😳

When she says its ur 24 hours and u can do what ever..he the opportunist grabs her close conveying what he wants..giving himself to her to getting herself to him!

Noticing her being awkward,flabbergasted and blushed to pink leaves her not to force her into any makes fun hinting he's getting what she feels !

A typical Gentleman he is who understands to give space to her to come out of her shell!

He knows how deeply she's getting affected by his touch, his proximity and thats giving him umpteen strength to win in the mission which right now looks MI.

Rest is the process which Arnav chooses to make her work by packing the gifts and troubling her by hiding a packet and Kushi doing a revenge on not allowing Arnav sleep if he don't allow her to sleep! These two na...Always tries to break till it gets into fine dust and then try to build a more beautiful one from the dust!!! Complete nut cases!!!😃

When she in the process of packing things got hurt,again he helps her to relieve the pain,noticing again about his proximity smiles and lays back!

A true Gentlemen act to make her realise what he can do with his proximity is all i can see and think about!

Did Kushi get that..Oh Yeaa!!! She got it completely that poor gal! She's further running away by the sheer touch of him not to lose on to him ,trying to hide her fondness to be with him, afraid in getting caught and not to make him realise yet again!

She's doing all that Calling act and the minute he pulls her phone! Looks at her expressions! It says it all...Run as far as she can Kushi your Arnavji wants You and is hell bent on making u realise/verbalise what is it for u and what is it for him in this Pyaar..

An interesting track!!!

Hope, i did discover something about this madly in love made for each other couple!!!
