hi durga,
wonderful, so i'll post the first intro post, then the rules, and the index, because it is easier for the one posting episodes to maintain that. following these three posts, maybe two more posts, with all the work from contributors, you'll take care of these? in which case, once all the work is in, i'll pass you the stuff for post 4 and 5. now come ons, tells me, what's this new poemwa about? 😆

episode 64

di, yeh yahan kya kar rahi hai!

how the ocean roared today. it lashed out repeatedly, breaking its fury upon its shore. lacerating it, whipping it, punishing it for being there, for mattering, for beginning to enter its inner space, its protected inner waters. go away, get out, never ever come near again. but what's an ocean without its shore. what's a shore without its ocean.

as the ocean churned, nafrat came out first, loads of hate, fear, ugliness, terrible feelings, ones that shook up everyone all around, poisoned the whole environment with its touch. reminded me of the samudra manthan many indian kids grow up hearing of. when the demigods and demons churned the oceans and so much came out of it. lethal, horrid things at first, but finally amrita, the nectar of immortality. could that have been love?

asr is not called arnav, ocean, for nothing.

and today we saw its terrible face. yet it was a part of him, in its own way it had a certain terrifying beauty. there was no game, no twist, nothing unclean in his anger, it was as pristine as he is, came straight from his fear of that thing called love, and expressed itself without chhal or kapat, trick or wiliness. it was what it was.

and once expressed, it brought his infuriated mind back to earth. almost. his anger was part of his nature, made him him. shiva, who was supposed to be the ultimate husband, was not known only for his "goodness." complex character he, lots of anger there too. the expressed sort, in fact he is remembered often in nataraja form, while performing the cosmic dance of destruction that will allow the recreation of the universe. a very deep character conception indeed.

in a funny sort of way as asr's voice hit an all new pitch, as though he was losing control, his very insides unhinging, storm tossed, a note of hysteria in it i could have sworn, i felt his voice rise, and circle wildly in a dance itself, a dance that would wreak havoc.

"matlab? yahan kyun? di, mujhe iss ladki ki shakal bhi nahin dekhni hai... kabhi resignation dene ke liye... kabhi party mein mithai dene ke bahane... pata nahin kaun kaun se bahane karkar yahan aati rahi hai.. aur aaj aap isse yahan lekar aayin hai," voice rising, a falling apart in it. i don't want to see her face, she makes strange excuses to come to my home... you may be taken in by her, but not me...



yet, i am glad asr let his anger out. otherwise it would have further confused his emotions. i accept him with all his sides, the good, the nasty, the slappable. unwittingly his di said a pertinent thing, "pad gayi dil mein thandak?" has your heart been cooled? yes, a certain cool will reach his heart, once the heat is out. to create we destroy... to find nectar we first rid the oceans of poison... to feel pyaar we must be prepared to know nafrat. this love's path is through the nafrat. actually, nafrat door jaane na de... the hate also doesn't let you go away, it ties you. and at last it is out there, openly.





her rakshas is back.. interestingly, change one letter and it becomes rakshak. demon... protector.

"what are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow.
what are brief? today and tomorrow.
what are frail? spring blossoms and youth.
what are deep? the ocean and truth."
~~~ christina rosetti ~~~

yes shyam did enter the episode. and since i couldn't yell get ouuut!!! at him, had to tolerate him. he is perhaps the most interesting foil character i've ever scene. asr raves rants screams shouts says awful things but is surf ultra clean. shyam always speaks gentle and sweet (sorry i can only hear the hisss) yet all the detergents of unilever, p&g, nirma combined will not be able to clean this stench, this cretin, oh oh oh.

Thank you all for loving my poems so much. Your appreciation is encouragement for me.

Episodes 61 & 62

"Hum chotey ki pasand ko, acchi tarah jaan chuke hai, bas unki najar saaf karni baaki ha"

"I know chotey's likes very well, just have to remove the fog from his eyes" Just love Nani don't you?

These are Naani's words but someone with higher power seems to agree with her. The preperations are being made to do just that "najar saaf" of Chotey. Enclosed in Anjalis proposal today, there is another hidden proposal . During Teej, sindoor, an auspicious sign of marriage had fallen on both marking each other, later that day, he also broke her fast, then there is that undeniable conntection of "mehsoos"... something more powerful is at play here, and today this force intervenes again, even twisting arms to get its way. Maybe its called fate, but its here to propose the union of these two souls. Beautifully said and I love the Divine Goddess and her intervention! Spawned by Nani, carried out by Anjali and accepted by Khushi.

Anjali and Mami reach the GH, prompting the introduction of an entertaining riverly , the clash of the "Nand Kishore" and "hello hi bye bye" an explosive duo offer some hillrious scenes.

"Hum ammi tummi nahi hai, hum bua hai (im no ammi tummi (mom), i'm Buaji)!"

"are tum bua ho to hum maami hai (so what, if you're bua than i'm maami)!"

Noticed they are introduce as Bua and the Maami, their respective relationship with Khushi and Arnav...sounds like rishta offering already! I love the whole battle between Buaji and Mami it was such a cute rivalry that lasted through out our show . Since my hindi is very weak rishta is like a marriage proposal or is it the pics of the person for a marriage proposal or am i all wrong?

😆

Maami ji not very happy to be here in these humble surroundings, and her outright rudeness doesn't sit well with the proud and defensive Buaji. Khushi invites them in, but the "arrowbaazi" (jabs) continue. Finally Anjali gets a word in "Look we're not here to talk about the saaris or mithaai, we're here with a perposal for Khushi." all the gh members are curious...what kind of persposal? not a marriage proposal? soon their curiousity is put to rest.

"don't worry, its not for Chotey's company, but its for the Raizada house Shantivan, the works is a little different, i would like for you to train La to be a good daughter-in-law... you have everything nani wants in a bahu" Anjali explains... but according to fate, Khushi also possess her soul, which Arnav is incomplete without.

Yes she is the perfect Bahu and next line is BRILLIANT! Adore!

Khushi is surprised and speechless with a million thougts of him running through her mind certainly... She's been trying so hard to run away from him, litterally and figurtivly but somehow he manages to catch her. "If i had known the order was for you're party, i would died but not come here" she told him at the anniversary party, so how can she possibly go to work in his home on a daily basis? even if she needs the money, her biggest majboori yet again. Khushi politely notifies Anjali that she respects her alot, but truns down the purposal. Anjali is persistent "you'll be paid for your work" [Khushi's respect for Anjali is genuine, she also seen first hand how important she is to Arnav, somewhere IMO this respect is enhanced by this fact, it falls into that connection, she's important to him so she's become important to Khushi ]

"Sorry to say this Anjali ji, but I don't want work anywhere near Arnav Singh Raizada" Khushi remains firm

"what happened between the two of you?" Anjali asks...

"Please Anjali ji, don't pressurize me, i agree we need the money, buti can't put my self respect aside to make money. Arnav Sing Raiza aur hamare beech jo kucch bhi hua, uske baad to bilkul nahi. (definetly not, after what happened between ASR and me). So much hidden behind this "jo kucch" Every meeting, every insult, every drop, every save, the way he looks at her, his countless attmpts to get her to listen to him, the way he makes her "mehsoos" the unknown...its all too much for her to handle. I feel her pain and yet her curiosity?

About to leave disappointed, Anjali thinks of the contract, the contract that ASR never mentioned again after the guest house incident. Totally out of Anjali's character, she gives Khushi an ultimatum: this job or pay the money. leaving Khushi appalled

"I remember too Anjali ji, but i never thought that you would be the one to remind me" Khushi's feel hurt and her respect for Anjali drops. "How can she do this?" khushi asks after Anjali leaves? She's just like her brother, heartless. I felt her disappointment even I was hurt by Anjali's actions, but I know she was desperate and DM had to have been pushing her along to do this anyway she could to get Kushi in that house

When she resigned, Khushi wanted to hand the resignation to Arnav herself to make her point that "yeh haar hamaari nahi hai!" but even she knows this was a legal document and Arnav Singh Raizad had full rights to take action, ofcourse he was on guilt trip and developed a rather soft spot for Khushi Kumaari Gupta...he would never do such a thing. Normally niether would Anjali, but her arms is being twisted by fate, she strongly feels "it has to be Khushi" first she tells Mami in the car that "khushi is perfect for this" and later she even defies her husband, she knows deep inside what she's doing is right.."I have to do this for Chotey"...the dots are there, only the connection need to be made. Funny that she had to do this fore her brother here he thinks she is grooming Lavanya for her brother instead it is Kushi already perfect Bahu material for Chote in the end

At the RM, Arnav, looking ridiculously delicious in deep purple, once agan gives in to Khushi's thoughts and leans back on the sofa. Till he is interrupted soon after by La (ArshiH, if the phone is the biggest villian, La can't be too far behind). Afraid that he's still angry, promises to win everone over, no matter what.

Arnav: Lavanya, sab ka dil jeet ne kis koi zarurat nahi hai, mere liye sirf Di important hai. agar woh kush hai, to sab teek hai, agar Di kush nahi hai, to kucch teek nahi hai, main Di ki Khushi ke liye kuchh bhi kar sakta hu

Translation: no need to win everyone over, on Di is importatn, if she's happy, all is good, if she's not, nothing is good. i can do anything for Di's happiness Thanks for the translation I really appreciate it!

Lavanya: "Ofcourse ASR, whoever is important to you, is important to me, but tell me, other than Di, isnt anyone else important to you?"

She hits a chord, causing him to close his eyes, immediately she comes to mind. UFF, the depth of this feeling is endless. KUSHI!

Some of the moments that sucked him into her essence flash by..he would do anything to keep her safe, her tears are precious, not only is she is important, she has become absolutely vital to his being. What an epic moment, for the first time Khushi is placed on the same pedestal as his beloved Di. OMG!!!!!!!! FANTASTIC!

Acceptance by the heart but resistance by the mind, and he lives his life with his mind not heart, the restult: DENIAL!!! Brilliantly said!

"Tell me ASR, is there anyone else?" La fishes for her name on his lips but is left with disappointment

"Nahin aur koi nahi hai, (no, noone else)" he swiftly answers and exits as the ASR music enters.

Shyaam comes back to find an angry Khushi, and makes a big statement "abse aap ki zimidaari hum letein hai.(from now on i'm taking your responsibility)"... the nerve of this man, to talk about "responsibility" when all he does is run away from it. I dislike him so much I don't even like to talk about him but true statement!He offers to give her the money so she can leave the Raizadaas forever. He tries so hard to keep her away "every time you went there you've got nothing but sadness, then why?" though Shyaam has his own selfish reasons to sway her, the question remains valid "phir kyu?" why Khushi, did you choose to go back, he was giving you an easy way out. why did you accept the proposal? could it be that despite all of your fears of that rakshash, you want to explore him some more? you need to find out why you're so drawn to him? SIGH why is it that his batameezi you don't share with anyone not even you sister, your closest confidant. Deep down inside, she needs answers.

Shyaam's trick for Khushi's compassion was beyond cheap, just like him

"bada hi dhokebaaz hai a pair baar baar latgad jaata hai (this leg is so disloyal is gives out all the time)" well shyaam, it is your leg, dhokebaazi (disloyalty) runs through your entire being, not just that leg

Khushi gathers her thoughts, pacinng back and forth, Anjali's ultimatum , shyam's offer and also Arnav's words at night of the party "aur waise bhi tum jaise log, paiso ke liye" before he stopped himself, being accused of gold-digger by him hurts more now than it ever did before. Her self-respect is certainly threatened. Khushi's thoughts go in circles, as she tries to eat away her dilemma.

Her amma's crying one phone weighs in on her. with all her turmoil and tears, she makes her way to her DM, where she must've found some answers and accepts the proposal.

Buaji later asks "Dehli ki saari sadke uu raijada ke ghar mein khatam hot hai (do all the roads in Dehli lead to the RM?)...don't know about Dehli buaji, but all roads for Khushi certainly lead to there, the home of her Arnavji. YUP THEY DO!

The next day, Khushi is arrives to her home, an just in time it looks like. right before she arrived, La was trying to learn ladoo-making...gave me the biggest laugh thanks to Maamiji's dialogues

"Ms.Kasyap, ee ladoo nahi, modern art lagat hai...ee saasuma dekee to pata hai kya kahee? Kitne ladoo the?" Gabbar Singh that the titlewa you gave her right? its his dialogue"

🤣

Anjali extatic at seeing Khushi "i was affraid that you won't come"

Khushi doesn't hold back, she was hurt by Anajli's ultimatum "Haalat hi khuchi aise the, i had no choice, but i have a condition" Anjali agrees, hmmm wonder what the shart is??

"Chamkili, what are you doing here?" La isn't pleased to see her, naani on the other hand is very pleased, after all her plan is working😉

Anajali explains that she will train La, she goes on to justify what she is doing.

"I know Anjali, that's why i'm not saying anything if anyone can teach Ms.kasyap, its you Khushi"

Poor La, not willing to digest this bitter pill "chamkili? train me, she has no style, no class"...and in addition, the girl her boyfriend seems to give way too much attention, then he couldn't take his eyes off of her during the calender shoot, then at Teej how he walked in right after her into the mandir and then she was quickly pushed aside instead of getting a compliment for her sexy getup, to top it off, she found them outside by the poolside alone at the party... I can't blame la for getting fired up. Can you say jealousy? She doesn't get it like she says no style, no class, she just doesn't get it How can she learn anything from HER?

"par naani, ASR hates her too, me be like her? no ways"

"hum chotey ki pasand ko, acchi tarah jaan chuke hai, bas unki najar saaf karni baaki ha ("I know chotey's likes very well, just have to remove the fog from his eyes")"my favorite line!!!

"ok then, if you feel that way, i can't stay in this house for a second!" this is the first thing she's unwilling to do to please Nani

"Dekha Anjali bitiya, khushi ke kadam padte hi shubh kaam hoga, ms.Kashyap ghar chod ke jaa rahi hai " hmmm people often talk like that about thei daughter-in-laws. its possible Naani already thinks of Khushi as one, another seal to this proposal acceptence

A very angry Lavanya packs her bags, and decides to call Arnav

"ASR, its all wrong, you tell me what am i doing wrong, i'm trying so hard to adjust, apoligized to everyone too, even taking showers in the morning, what should i do?i seems impossible for me to adjust here" she would keep going if wan't for a meeting Arnav had to cut her short

"i'll talk to you when i get home in the evening"

She tries to tell him about Khushi but is inturupted yet again. "Lavanya i told you i'll talk to you later, abhi mujhe kaam hai" click.

Khushi comes to talk to La, "This is just a job for me, nothing else" ---i feel like she's trying let her know that she's not after her man Good take, possibly so!"aur kuchh nahi" Khushi knows La had caught her reaction to Arnav breaking her fast

"But for me this is ASR's home, and its very important ok?" La makes it clear

"Thats what i'm trying to explain, forget about me, concentrate on winning Nani over, so that i can get the money i need, and everyone in the house will accept you"

La realizes they both need each other, "we can both benefit" Khushi convinces her

They do indeed need each other, La is instrumental in bringing the two together and Khushi helps with La's growth as a person, she leaves with with dignity and respect from Naani, which she didn't have when she came into the RM. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I loved the two girls together and cried when La left I had wished she could have stayed and they remained friends I also loved watching the friendship develop and La's transformation well done!
Loved the review and now that we are all on the mend maybe we can catch up!

DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!

❤️ has to be my favorite, an admission of her importance to him awww ❤️❤️❤️
