IP REDUX; Tidal wave !!

"I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love, I was blind but now I can see
Cause I found a new hope from above, and courage swept over me"

Today was one of the beautiful episode for me. We saw Arnav confessing to Khushi and Khushi confessing to Arnav. But today what happened he came to ask forgiveness for his every single act from the day he has met her till date. All those hurt he has counted and for every single scar that heart had felt he asked sorry. And for that forgiveness what he got the understanding from Khushi that he doesn't to need to ask all this now as she knows the fact he loves her a lot which was followed by a fantastic hug. There was pain, there was love, there was silence yet so many words were passed on through those eyes. Both of them silently told each other that the wall of misunderstanding is completely broken today.

All the sides' forces are trying hard to separate them when in their own world their love is growing stronger and longer. No one No one knows the depth of love Khushi and Arnav and share. Love can play both sides it can become ones weakness and it can become strength too. When Arnav misunderstood Khushi their love became the weakness for the enemy to play with it but not anymore.

Time and again we will be subjected to test of relationships but that is the time we will know how strong the bond is. Arnav and Khushi are now one and they have accepted it but are they set for a happily lived ever after life?? No because the gold (Love) has to be put into the test of fire to prove it is genuine and to show the weight of it.

Why the test we all know. Today we saw Khushi telling him that Purani Baatein Yaad Karneki Kya Zaroorat Hain. But when past is still hanging as a shadow in the present how can they step into future. To add to this dadi said Parivar Ka Ithihaas. The history is coming into the front for them to know who really they are and what made their destiny today.

Dadi is not here to understand Khushi but she is under the impression that she is not the right girl for her grandson. Her background is not good. Her character is not good and what not she has spoken. She has even started to play game and manipulate the situations accordingly. Why not, isn't she the mother of Chacha because of whom the entire war started in first place. Children will always reflect parent's ideologies and thought process. If today she says ASR is like his father then her sons will sure be like her.

After the conch was blown the war has started and one by one the field is set but why it's going be fought the reason should be out and when the real war will start all the players will be in the same line. The truth is well hidden and has been kept deep inside the sea on that fateful night which was supposed be a girls wedding night and will come out on this wedding night.

Arnav and Khushi are star crossed lovers. Whenever they come together and think of journey together destiny will make them meet in such a cross road that can never meet and that's where exactly Nafrat paas aane na de and Mohobbhat door jaane na de will play out. There will be passion, love, understanding and trust but still they are controlled by destiny and today's opening scene was the perfect example for it. And the day the roads really merge it's the end of the journey. But they are not Shakespeare's ill fated lovers to see the doom so we know their destination let's just see how they travel together further and reach there.

Arnav recited Khushi's story to dadi. After hearing this she asks whether the story is real. For that he tells that it is not any story but truth. But then came a question Has Khushi's life all along made a story with which she had grown up and the truth is something much more deeper and was the lie that Khushi has been living with has been because of Arnav's own family or rather directly dadi???

Thank you for all those lovely people who liked my earlier posts. Its because of you all I get the motivation to write and grow.🤗

Hola girls 🤗 🤗

Not doing any analysis today...I can never do one properly anyway. Its just what I felt for the last 2 weeks.

Do you believe a person must be Strong or Hard? A lot of people see the two as one and the same. But are they?

Strong Endures; Hard Shatters.

We are slowly learning the story of Arnav Singh Raizada. (I know Doods has already laid out the past but I'm only going with what's been revealed to us so far) The 14 year old boy who had to witness the suicide of his beloved mother, had to endure the suicide of his father and then was thrown out of his home with his elder sister by their uncle. Had to go through the heartbreak of his sister's wedding being broken somehow. And that's when that 14 year old boy took the responsibility of his family on his shoulders and became a hard man. Arnav Singh Raizada needed to be strong but he confused them and with each blow made himself harder. He took the burden of his whole family as his duty and that Duty became heavier than a mountain. He forgot how to laugh, all we saw from him were smirks in bitterness. There were no tears left in him. He was Fire and Ice. The old wounds were always there, but they became distant in that hardness. He was too hard already, and he wouldn't have stopped until he was stopped by Khushi Kumari Gupta on a fateful night 14 months earlier. And in these months she peeled off layer after layer off him, bringing out the inner core. She taught him to laugh, to cry, to apologise, to sympathise and finally to Love. She shattered that hardness and Arnav Singh Raizada has finally become a STRONG person. A person who is not afraid to show his love for his wife in front of the whole world, show his fear of loosing her, show his tears, realise his mistakes and to apologise for them. Now he needs to be stronger than ever because there is a storm coming their way. A storm which threatens to destroy their lives. But Arnav will not bow down to this menacing storm. He will sway with the sudden blast but he will not break down or shatter. This strong man will endure, will protect his beloved from all the blows, will persevere and will rise up stronger and more powerful. He has finally found love in his life and love is making him stronger.

Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

What is inside Arnav? Nani, Anji, Mami, Akash have all seen an aspect of Arnav, a part of him but Khushi is the only person who has seen what is actually inside this enigma of a person. Now she knows him inside out, understands him and will never let him go even if circumstances separate them for some period of time. I know a lot of people have compared him to a lion or tiger at a point of time. But I disagree. Do you all know that lions are not the most courageous animals in a jungle, they hunt in packs, preying on animals where they are sure of success, they move away in the sight of danger, they are social animals. It is tigers who are solitary hunters, courageous under fire, who walk in by themselves in danger even knowing that they might not come out from it alive. They prey on animals a lot bigger than themselves. It's because that is their nature, they have never known otherwise. So lions might be the king of jungle but tigers will always be the real rulers. Somehow I feel Arnav Singh Raizada is a combination of both these majestic animals. He is strong and courageous but he also values and cares for his family.

We all know that Arnav is a just and righteous person but he is also a pure soul. He will realise the implications of his actions against Khushi by forcibly marrying her. I love this character to death but I will be the first person to say that no matter what the reason, no matter how good his intensions were, what he did was wrong, very wrong. Plain and simple. There is no other way around it. And that is why he will take all the blame of the world on his shoulders and defend and protect Khushi, her dignity, he will fight for her against all odds and make her his forever.

Lastly, we have had lots of discussions last week about Wedding Rituals, Marriage, Love. Actually I have stayed away from most of these discussions until now. What I'm going to write is just my point of view in this matter. Don't mean to offend anyone. My marriage was arranged and I did not know my husband at all before I got married. After getting married one day out of the blue he asked me a question. Apparently during the ceremony I didn't say any mantra (verses) out loud. He asked me why I didn't. For him these verses were very important and he made sure he said them all loudly as he was very proud to be getting married to me. My answer to him was, do all these verses really that important? How much do these man made verses matter? The moment our hands were tied on top of the "Jal Ghot" I knew I was sanctified to you by fire as our witness. I accepted you in my mind, in my heart as my husband. And Now I know I belong to you mind, body and soul forever. Isn't that more important than some mere words? After that we never discussed this issue again. But I have seen lots and lots of weddings. Ours is a huge family and I love to attend weddings. I have seen so many Panjit Jis (with due respect) who themselves cannot pronounce the Sankskrit words properly let alone understand them. And they are conducting the weddings. And pheras, when I was going round and round I was a lot more delighted to see my whole extended family coming together dancing away rejoicing. I think they were more happy that finally she is gone from our hands. But was I thinking about the sanctity of these pheras? Do I even know what all the pheras actually mean? I would have to google it. And as I said earlier I took 14 so I have to make some extra meaning for those extra ones now won't I? What I do know is that I am trying to be the best wife I can be in my married life. I try to be sincere and honest in my relationship and that's the best I can do. I am by no means saying that rituals doesn't matter. I mean my younger sister will hopefully get married in a few years and we are already planning her wedding cause she is the baby of the family.

Some pointers for the episode:

• Thank God for random winds, otherwise would have missed out on a lovely scene. And Arnie is really getting good at jumping through windows.😳
• For the first time Arnav actually complementing Khushi. Also giving a subtle hint that she looks better in her night suits. On a side note, can SI please do a little less makeup for night scenes?
• The whole apology scene, BS was just perfect with his acting, not going overboard, just stating the facts. Just sublime and superb. I feel the vocalisation of their feelings to each other was really important. They always knew it, but sometimes you have to say things out loud. And that beautiful hug was full of apology, forgiveness, support, reassurance, hope and love.
• Dadi Nani 👍🏼 (Riyya style)
• Arnav- NK- Anji scene was really sweet. Arnav's smile.😍 But what's that medicine?😕 And Arnav's BD,🤢 I tried really hard but I ended up looking at his ears, and why so many long shots of BD?
• 'Arnav saab kuch sambhal lega' yeah he will...but why is there an ominous tone to it?😕
• Ok, my theory that Shyamu was coming to meet Anji didn't work out. He could've still seen her but I think he sneaked in because his Hi-Tech cameras didn't have night vision and he had to check personally if any leaves were moving in RM.😳
• Precap scene: All the ladies wearing blue sarrees, didn't Nani and Payal get the memo? Cause GH ladies got it. Dadi's saree had some blue parts too. Even Arnav decided to join the party in his blue shirt.😍 Oh how handsome is he looking until rudely interrupted by Dadi. Offcourse he will go, he knows Dadi will cook up some plan and he needs to be there to manage everything.

Sorry if it seems a bit disjointed today. Well you're thinking what's new? When I reserved I got a bit over enthusiastic and didn't realise that I reserved at the first page. My reaction was *facepalm* "D 'OH".
