Episode 69!!!!!!!!!

The episode starts off with bua ji trying to convince shyam to go to the house…she said it will be nice to see how they live…shyam is pissed off and said how can you go there after everything that has happened…bua ji the other person of the house sounds nice and it felt good talking to her…it will fun to go…shyam said he will wait for them to come back…shyam closes the door after they left and Anjali calls…shyam told her that he cannot come and made up some excuse…Anjali is walking all sad with the phone in her hand…arnav sees her and said jija ji…he knew what was troubling his sister…anji said that today is shyam's friend operation and he has to stay for that…while Anjali and arnav were talking khushi was explaining how krisha will come out of the cucumber after he is born…Anjali tells arnav what he did when he was little and was smiling…arnav said that he has a meeting and he will be back…khushi hears this and said look there he goes scaring more people…and arnav looks at her, like he can read her thoughts…Anjali hands arnav a kurta pajama as a gift and arnav was like you know I don't where it…Anjali was I know but I can hope…arnav takes it and tells jp to bring it to his room….before leaving arnav and khushi have another eye lock again…

Bua ji and Payal reached the RM…khushi introduced bua ji and payal to nani since she never saw them before….Bua ji saw Anjali and made a face like I know this girl..she better not mess with me…anjali was like since you are older and I am younger it is my right to apologize…I am sorry for what I did …the situation was like that…bua ji was like I will never understand what you are thinking but I can try…so all in all Anjali is forgiven…

Bua ji and mami ji have a war with words and bua ji was totally winning…bua ji has a new friend and it is laxmi….

Before the pooja started…the police came and said are you KKG and khushi was like yes…lavanya called us here for a background check…La said it is just for precautions…poor khushi was in tears and bua ji is on fire….Nani comes in and said that we know khushi is from a nice family so no background check is required but since you are here you can do one for miss kashyap because she is a guest here (you go nani!!!!!) la gets mad…and at this time arnav came and la said look I am getting insulted thinking that arnav will yell at nani…. And he asked nani what is going one and she said don't ask me ask Lavanya she did this…arnav turned to la and his face said is this true (he did not need words...his eyes are so expressive) la saw his face and walked off in anger because asr did not help her out… Arnav turns to to the police said your work is done and I do not want a habit of police in shantivan (well too bad the house will have a habit of police that magically appear after the villains confess)…Everyone goes to the prayer…and bua ji, payal and khushi stand in the same spot…nani was like I am sorry for what happened…the young ones make mistakes (I hated the way nani said that…they were freakin insulted). Khushi is crying and arnav sees this and feels bad…he was fighing with himself not to go comfort her…he just walks away and as he goes up the stairs he looks at her again…feeling bad…the episode ends…Will the pooja go right??? What will la do next???

La's plan was not a bad plan but she did not realize that nani loves khushi and will defend her like crazy…she just did not factor in that issue

episode 66

a string that ties a whole world together. and of no strings attached. while a pretender desecrates a string. here are some glimpses of this tender to creepy to rib tickling funny episode. off to get a samosa recipe, will be back tomorrow.

"kya?!!"

samosas are best with a cuppa hot tea, but i am happy to munch on mine with all that the episode brought. no less hot, or aromatic (i am a darjeeling tea fan, that fragrance of the hills, the crisp air, the gurgling rivers, aah), fresh and just perfectly steeped. and in true ipk style, the creatives take us seamlessly from a deep emotional, intense day to a happy and light one with notes of fire in it.

that single word from shyam, what?!!! was a great way to start. in one exclamation lay his shattered world. his wife had just suggested that he turn the girl he lusts after surreptitiously and without any compunction whatsoever, tie a rakhi on him, turning her into his sister and him into her brother. if i were drinking a real cup of tea at the moment, i'd surely have burned myself. too too funny, that moment. and yet... dangerous. I wished this happened...i want to see what face shyam would make when khushi was tying a rakhi on him

if anyone gets too close to shyam's deceit, he needs to act. to hurt someone. do something dirty. all the while pretending to himself, he doesn't have an option. and the ensconcing of khushi in the raizada home despite his best efforts, followed by this outrageous (to him) suggestion by his wife, completely throws him. there follows the unnecesary beating up of a cabbie, the coming to his senses and the next plan to somehow swing the situation to his advantage. He is a gunda type of person

shyam was built with insight and interest by all concerned... his writers, his actor. he was not your mundane villain in the beginning, just flat and bad and raring to rape or steal or kill hero. he was a character with an incredible flaw... no conscience. none. in that he was the exact opposite of asr. there was a low animal quality to shyam. survival and his gain his only motive. whatever i want i must get. he said as much to khushi when he advised her to do what her heart pleases; asr also wanted to live life his own way but not by hurting and disrespecting others, certainly not by lying and cheating. for he had that one thing, shyamu darling never got to taste... conscience. Wow i loved how you described shyam...you are right he has no conscience...if he did he would not have done all the things he has done

otherwise he was educated, well mannered, even learned in things, but defy his desires once, and there goes the whole outer layer. the scum within takes over with extreme ease. how he manipulated anjali all the while, preying on every weakness of hers. She is not hard to manipulate...all you have to do is be nice to her and say sweet words...that watchful gaze in his eyes, when he'd throw the bait and see if she caught it or not... it's ok, though my leg is hurting let me hold my ears and do uthak baithak.

every time anjali fell for it. again, a victim of her own insecurities too apart from his game playing. but not khushi. got that right he had that same look in his eyes when he threw the tantrum about going away, being hurt.

yet her gaze was clear. she was not needy (unlike his prime victim, anjali), she said there was no way she could take money from him, for it's not right. simple. she'd earn it, even if t meant going to a place where she's been insulted... and the next major character trait comes up... her commitment to her family. the family that made her their own when all was gone. anything for babuji. she'll tolerate anything. I loved khushi for doing what she did...all shyam is doing is making her guilty for not taking money by just reminding her how arnav treated her...but it is not working khushi has self respect

clever writing in of character effortlessly throughout ipk. and these characters will create their destiny, lead the plot where it must go.

shyam had no respect for ties. but khushi would hold on and mend every string that meant something. can't quote off hand, but that poignant, "dhaga" dialogue while sewing on her angry and disbelieving husband's button: i didn't ask to be given this thread, but now that it has been put in my hand...

beautiful.

i think only in india i've come across this amount of tradition and tying together of, and giving and taking of respoonsibility between, a brother and sister. I think you are right...there are of course lost in the past, immense cultural and socioeconomic reasons, some i would agree with, and some perhaps not. but in its current form, one of the sweetest traditions we have, is rakhi or raksha badhan where a brother swears to take care of and protect (raksha) his sister with the tying of a string. i remember the horrific tinsel covered rakhis with sponge in terrible colours with some crazy motif stuck on top we'd get. loved them. being bengali, we did a reverse one for our brothers, the "phonta" or tika that would deter even the lord of death "yama," putting a barrier in his dorway, preventing him from reaching the brother... bhaiyer kopale dilam phonta, jomer duare podlo kaanta. i will protect my brother said this. I loved how you described the tradition of rksha badhan...it never knew this...Are you bengali too??

goes without saying, for asr and anjali, this was far far far more than a ritual. a joyous, pure, and happy reminder of their meaning in each other's lives. he had appointed himself her caretaker at 14... and she had let him. she made a rakhi for him every year. he kept a fast with her, and together, these two siblings born of the same mother, found their ma once again when holding out their hands to each other and committing to their relationship. this is a tie from birth, and it shall be kept, honoured. a lot of their tragically departed mother was part of this story. even for naniji, and perhaps mamaji. daughter, sister, mother, their ma was all of them after all. and equally cherished in those roles.

it was fitting that raju singh's lovely har khushi har gham tujh se song played for the first time here. I liked this song too

"iss saal rakhi achchi banee hai na?" the rakhis are looking good this year, aren't they?

very naughty brother must give sis a hard time. how his eyes hold her in his gaze, precious and prized... have i ever seen any pair of eyes do it quite so wonderfully. and please, must the man look so hot in a tika?? here i'm trying to muster all my sisterly feelings over this touching scene. and all i can see is a splash of red flaming at the centre of a forehead and white shirt offsetting gorgeous skin. HAYE!!!!!!!!!!!!! or more like SWOON!!!!!!!

but daljeet is flawless as sister. and he as brother. when talk started of daljeet leaving, it was hard to imagine who could ever replace her.

in nani's eye was a gleam when the grand children played, and how proud she was telling khushi about the ritual they shared. asr observed the rituals that had meaning for him. he had his own way of connecting with the eternal... through his conscience, through his commitments.

and nani's eyes gleamed again when the laddoo talk came up. she noticed her chhotey make note of the laddoo maker. pleased as punch was she. i never realised the first time round, maybe because i started watching late, how much of a hand and will nani had in this pyaar. grandmother of all plotters. adore her character and jayashree t's interpretation.

"saath saath... sab kuch kar sakte hain?..."

l..l..live in matlab?

bina shadi kiye without marrying

shadi nahi no marriage

mangal sutra nahin no magalsutra

ek hi kamre mein in the same room

sab kuch kar sakte hain? can do everything???

poorey parivaar ke saamney? in front of the whole family?

just when she thought this laad gov had a nice side, perhaps even a decent bloke in him somewhere, out came the hawww-ror story. living in? khushi had come to teach la, looks like today la ended up teaching khushi something new. an all new parampara, tradition. "sab kuch kar sakte hain", "bina shadi ke." gadzooks, pass the samosas. and off went the crunchiest tastiest part of episode. lots of chillies and bite in it. and hiccups. This scene was hilarious

a middle class, non big city girl. tough, responsible, forward looking, gutsy, not at all run of the mill... far from being "less" in any way, virtually a son to her parents (if i am to look at traditional roles played by offspring in indian homes)... but not even in her wildest had she considered this idea of a relationship.

no ties. no pheres. no strings attached.

sex without marriage. she can't believe she's even considering the proposition. I don't blame her...i feel the same way

of course, the shock is too much. and all she can do is go into auto pilot and reach for comfort. for khushi that is food. always. in joy, in sorrow, at night, or morrow. a defence in its own way i guess. to save herself from a devastating sense of emptiness at times when an accident and two people gone come to mind. don't know psychology... but there's something in that constant eating of hers. nonstop... chana, ber, chew nail... and of course jalebi, gol gappa, aloo poori, you name it. we shall get to the bottom of it in season 2. I see you are optimistic

hic... hic... hic... hic!..

"enough!!!"

for the time being, a string that has no idea it's getting tied is coming into play.

the cutest face to face between two would be lovers. miss "stuffed mouth" and mr "er, ahem, keep that thing away from me." he can't miss a single chance to be nasty to or about her. nor can she. brilliant. had they been indifferent to each other or missed even one chance,

we'd have cause to worry, My worst nightmare...in fact that happened to me today

remember school? this is exactly how boys behave when a girl gets under their skin... get after the girl. unresolved souls, no idea what to call this "irritation" they feel (er didn't he say something about being "irritate" in charming "off" english in the middle of a hindi sentence).

his advice to his girl friend, don't become like "uss" girl. that girl. why is such a thought even coming to his head? maybe because he can feel how the small town dupattewali can have plenty influence on big city cool rich good looking people?

her nutty conclusion, not only is this idea hiccup giving, only one person can be responsible for doing such a bad thing. that rakshas. he must have screamed and shouted at poor la, and forced her to do this bina shadi sab kuch kar sakte hain thingie. huh! khushi di ya hear what la said and how comfortable she looked? obviously not; for there's only one person you can see, after all. and can i really blame you.

ok indi, that's enough.

Episode-68

The episode started with the continuation of Khushi's narration of Lord Krishna's birth story. She was acting with emotions,creating an ambiance of the story.Everybody was enjoying enthusiastically, but La actually was very nonchalant. In a point Khushi mentioned about the Nag what protected baby Krishna. Hearing that La got frightened and jumped on the couch, she started screaming "anaconda" This woman got so lack of sense and depth.I'm pretty sure she didn't understand a bit of it. 😆 she kept asking the silly questions. How intelligent ASR tolerated this buffoon! Arnav is trying to prove a point to nani...i have no clue how he tolerates her

Khushi finished the story telling and everybody left the hall. Suddenly the phone rang and Khushi picked the phone. It was no other than Kans (new name of ASR given by Khushi😆) there on the other side. He went mute for a while and asked "kaun"."I'm Khushi speaking" she answered adorably! Hmm she was looking shooo cute with a slight pout talking to her laad Governor! Kans yelled at her, "give the phone to Di".He was asking whether he should get safran or cardamom. Khushi answered cardamom. But ASR got mad and screamed,"you get paid not to give me advise, ask Di and tell".Plz ASR come out of "paisa" for a while! 😡When Anjali said elaichi from behind, he fumed again of anticipation of Khushi's lecture, that she was right. So he hanged up the phone. Arnav is annoyed that he was proven wrong by none other than KKG(SR)

Khushi was teaching La the various names of Krishna. La asked her why he got so many names where he is just a single person.Khushi told her every name of Krishna emphasizes of his quality She mockingly said Khushi that like chamkili is your another name. Then Mami came to humiliate her more,"she has more names like torn saree, Sour sweets." Dear La and Mami so many names you can give her or call her, she is Khushi who brings Khushi to everybody's face. Anjali interrupted and showed her frustration to Mami. She told that her hubby's name is also after Krishna. And Khushi got jovial of the coincidence that their PG's name is after Krishna too. Stupid interuptions...or anjali would have said the name...but of course no one would think anything of it...Mystery! invashtigason karwaki pari!

One of the Prakash brothers got a little cradle for the Krishna's idol.Khushi explained La that they will decorate it and put the idol on the cradle and celebrate Krishan's birthday. La got enthusiastic like a child whether they will cut a cake or not! Khushi said they will do even better thing and dragged her to the kitchen to show what they will do to celebrate.In the kitchen Anjali was making something with milk. Khushi told La that Krishna used to love any milk product, specially butter was his favorite. La screamed out that there is lot of calories in butter.I hate how she was shown so senseless and clueless in the show...no one is like that Gosh La give me a break!😆 La was so bored hearing the story that evaded the place giving the excuse of a phone call, where she left the phone in the kitchen. Mami was shambling towards the hall singing her favorite song "mere akhio ki kajal se hoti hei sab ghayal"I sing this song sometimes because it was super catchy...Gosh what a song!😆Yeah, sure everybody must get fainted to see her gaudy make up! She bumped to Rahim chacha and he dropped some Kheer on the floor. Totally devi maiya's plan... also ramu chacha forgot to clean it up... La's phone was ringing in the kitchen . So Khushi rushed to give her the phone. By this time Arnav entered with hand full of bags. Wind started to blow. Rabba vey in piano on the BG, Arnav was looking deadly. Khushi also felt the jolt. Khushi slipped on the kheer and was about to fall, when Arnav caught her and prevented her from falling.Thud, thud,thud! Rabba vey in the BG, the intense eye lock between them, no words, just holding her in his arm. Hai!!!!!!!!!! I just landed in Arshi land! Why must all the good stuff happen to khushi Anjali's interruptions broke their trance. Arnav tried to avoid the situation,Arnav got embarrassed hollered JP's name to distract.

Khushi wanted to talk to Anjali. ASR overheard her, got alert and stopped to hear what she wanted to say.they shared an eye contact. He looked a little hesitant.Was he anticipating that Khushi may remind Anjali the condition of not being in RM during his presence! I thought the same thing

Khushi asked for the permission to leave home early, becoz of the janmashtami celebration. Anjali admonished, as she was not confident of La's performance in the pooja.. Obviously She couldn't trust her. I don't blame her...i would not trust her either...la has been untrustworthy with this kind of stuff time and time again and she calls pooja round round...She requested Khushi to stay back.But Khushi was repugnant to stay. ASR protruted their convo. He asked Anjali to give her more money to stay extra time as she is greedy. Khushi got hurt at his affliction. She emulated him and requested Anjali to tell her bro, not to measure everything with money. Nani came for her rescue and suggested him not to bring his business in this matter. Anjali suggested Khushi to invite her whole family in RM. Nani fully gratified her and called Buaji to join them for the Pooja.. Buaji was a little hesitant as Shyam was with them. Nani invited Shyam too. Buaji agreed, but Payal got incredulous to go as Mami was very acrimonious to her.Shyam was grimly listening from the kitchen.Ab kaha bhagogi Anaconda!🤣LOL

In La's room she was very irritated as Khushi's family is coming there also. She was incredulous, why Khushi is so important for Raizada family! .Mami was giving her full support.She mentioned that Khushi's entry was grand and her entry was forceful. So Khushi's impact is more than La. La was so irascible, she was planning something evil for sure.I think she was a bit insecure of her too. Yes she is...because she knows how much asr is affected by khushi

Episode 68

Janmashtami

PART 1

Significance of Janmashtami

The verses in the Bhagavad-Gita (a sacred book narrated by Lord Vishnu) say, that whenever there will be predominance of evil and decline of religion, I will reincarnate to kill the evil and to save the good. The main significance ofJanmashtami is to encourage goodwill and to discourage bad will. Krishna Jayanti also celebrates togetherness.The holy occasion brings people together, thus it signifies unity and faith.

Pause here:Lord Krishna has 108 names and one of the name is "Aparajeet"means "A lord who cannot be defeated".Another name is "Bali"... "The Lord of strength"

Connection: Indeed this event in the show signifies the birth of Goodwill in Khushi and an attempt of rebirth of the faith in Arnav at this moment but the goodwill of Arnav is always there,the missing piece is his Faith and that's where Khushi comes in and he will regain the power of Faith in relations , in people, and somewhat in religion.He will be victorious at the end by defeating all of his fears and pains associated with his cruel past.He will get strength in his faith but only because of Khushi.

Pause here: Until next Janmashmati he will regain trust in marriage and be ready for remarriage with rituals and all with Khushi.He will learn to differentiate the good and the bad in relations without mixing these together.The strength of his faith as "Khushi tum nai mujhe iss wishwas peh wishwas dilaiya"[You made me believe in this belief] during Telepathy and at the time of his wedding " Khushi tum ne mujhe yahan khara kar ke mere sab sawalon keh jawab dila diye"[ by making me stand here you gave me all the answers of my questions.]as Khushi's faith which she has on him the night before when she submits herself to him was way too strong for him which he couldn't break regardless of the strength of evil around him.

But the beauty is Shyam is also a name of Lord Krishna and he will get strength too in his mission of destruction and will remain undefeated until Khushi , Arnav , and Anjali will join hands together to destroy this evil as this festival represents unity and faith in relations as well as in religion.

Pause here: He will try to kill Babuji , then Anjali , Arnav and that will provide him strength each time which will lead into killing his own unborn child but amazingly will accept it from his own mouth as he will turn psycho.

Khushi 's story telling techniques by acting out with full zoom was fascinating for Naniji and Anjali.She told the whole story of the birth of Lord Krishna and La was like "What" was amazingly entertaining.

Khushi is blowing "Shunk" means starting the battle cry against all the wrong doings unintentionally as she is the savior for all with the help of her savior Arnavji.

Love the egoistic and sweet convo in between our Yummilicious "Kans" and Temptalicious "Elaichi".Indeed she is elaichi as her taste is not that sweet but her "Mehak" [essence] mmm,...mmm...goodheaven..He loves to hear her but can't see her winning over him but she already has done so whether you accept it or not Mr Akhroo."Maan laine main kia harj hai akhir" [whats wrong in accepting it after all Elaichi[cardamom] is a winner not kesar.Love the way her voice signals the soothing breeze on him and his voice dulcifying her but abhorrence takes place over it and then smugness takes over abhorrence "Hum Khushi Bol Rahain hain"[Khushi Speaking] .I wished he sees her rather listening because she was looking so adorable but "ASR is always right" so he cuts that soothing signal.They both sure know how to fight ...😉

Anjali's displeasure over Khushi's humiliation by La and Mamiji was very visible.Hey DM Chote's Jijai's and Khushi's Paying guest are sharing same name with Lord Krishna...By chance isn't he "Daiya Ho"...Khushi explains how milk and things made of milk were liked by Lord Krishna especially Butter.

Symbolism:Milk is a symbol of fertility and purity as its God's gift.

Connection: As Anjali is making Kheer with Milk, She will be pregnant soon.

The strength of their "Mehsoos" feelings of their presence is getting stronger and mutual as Arnav enters and stops by her breezy essence as it touches his soul and she stops at his breezy mist as it touches her heart and we stop at Piano Raba Ve... .They both know each others proximity but move forward being oblivious.As Divine power is determined to bring them closer ,she ends up in his arms as "Hamesha Sanmbhalta Rahoonga"[always take care of you].She frees herself up but he wasn't ready to let her go surprisingly as his hand is still on his waist.hmmm...😳

Pause here:Yellow Dupatta flies as Dupatta always fly with joy and happiness whenever Arnav is around.It represents his inner joy and peace which he gets when he is around Khushi and her touch is just a tranquilizer and does hypnotism on him and he does not remember his surroundings like after a long long time dry land gets the first rain drops and release misty smell and aroma in the air.Amazing thoughts behind this small jesture.

Symbolism:Color yellow

Yellow is sunshine. It denotes happiness and joy .In some culture it represents cowards and in Japan it represents courage.

Connection: It represents the happiness and joy of Arnav when he is near Khushi and same for Khushi.

The same for Akash as he was giving Di the yellow handerkerchief as his joy has no limit for seeing Payalji.😃

Anjali was making "Mala" of yellow flowers as she does connect to the second concept as she is a coward to accept and face the reality right away because of her blind beliefs until Khushi and Arnav will join forces to give her enough courage to come out of it.

They both were lost in each others' proximity for couple of seconds and both realized it too as she fixes her Dupatta in her nervousness while breathing heavily and he flinches with his desires but again wants to erupt his love with harshness as a defense but again Anjali saves the aroma of this moment .😊

Pause here:Anjali will always be a bridge in between these two.She will be a meditator and a true sister for both of them😊

ASR is not done with KKG as she wants to talk to Anjali and he wants to talk with her.His gazes on her surely indicates as he is seeing some concerns on her face and he never misses the opportunity these days to hit the hot iron so the burn speaks with tease and pain as he knows Khushi never sits on idle ,she retaliates as she is a fighter and thats exactly he wants.He wants her to fight so he can have the real reason to throw her out ...as otherwise he has no choice but go along...He does not have any idea how deeply she has entered in ASR's shell and he is adamant on as "ASR itna kamzore nahin joh eik larki keh khiyal ko dil se na nikal sake.."[ASR is not that weak who can't remove thoughts of one girl]...but can you? You couldn't do it when she was not near you and now????😉😊

Khushi seeks permission to go home early from Anjali but Arnav's revenge over her is not done yet as he wants to speak with her awww...but says in rage "Over time keh paise do Shauq se rukegi...[Give her overtime then she will stay.] Khushi just gulps this insult down by ignoring him,'Anjaliji hum aap se baat kar rahe hain ...phir bhi aap keh bhai ko yeh yaad dila dain keh har chees paison se nahin khareedi ja sakti[I am talking to u Anjaliji but stil want to tell ur bro that not everything is for sale]..He huffs back at her after her ignorance over him,"yeah right Har chees par tum..[everything but you]...Anjali and Nani both intervene and he walks away with ASR eshtyle.Love this angry yummilicious! 😉

Naniji,"humka aisa lagat hai ein sal humra har tuhar apke saath mana likhat hai"[it seems this year we are going to celebrate every event together]...Naniji favors Anjali and wants Khushi to stay by calling her Buaji.Buaji hesitates first as she thinks her "aafat ki puriya"did something wrong but then accepts the offer.

Pause here:Naniji is so right as Khushi celebrating all the events unintentionally together before marriage.Teej, wishing tree, Rakshabandhan, Janmashtami, Diwali,...even after marriage Khushi says to herself during Diwali,"hum Diwali tou phele bhi mana chuke hain iss ghar mein"[I celebrated Diwali before in this house]

Shyam and his plans to celebrate the event with Khushi "gaeiya Bhar mein"[totally ruined] as he does not want to accept this invitation by Naniji.But Buaji is right Shyamji "Aisa Mauka bar bar thore hi aata hai"[you don't get these chances everyday] After all you are Damad of RM and will not be present at this event with your wife and family...Not Nice after all "hum apke Bhagat hain..nirash na kijiye"[After all we worship you ,don't disappoint us] Arghhh...😡😡"Naam se Bhagwan aur Kam se Shaitan"[ by name God and by deeds Satan]

Symbolism:Reflection through glass applies here as he knows the whole picture but still remains unaware of true depth of its nature as he is never in the same frame.He is out when Khushi is in RM and vice versa.Divine powers of DM is really magical in this matter.

Love this parallel scene in between these two new lovebirds.Anjali tells her "Bhudooram" about Payalji and her arrival in RM.Really Akash you are shy more than girls.Seriously...If he is in Payalji's Khiyal [thoughts] so is she by faking being angry with Buaji for his Khiyal.So sweet.[I don't know nice parallel couple]👏😊

La's jealousy over Khushi is coming up to the surface. Love Mamiji about this dialogue,"Pahti saree ki entry huai Zabardast aur tumhai Zabardasti"[Your entry is forcefully but Khushi is welcome to this house with open arms] 😊 So so true...but thats why it is called FATE...

What a dialogue so true to nature as Khushi did enter first with her right foot in[pic of her entry first time] and welcomed by Anjali and then Nani.After that with Arnav's permission but again Anjali and Nani opened their arms for her but La's entry is not acceptable by Naniji or even by Anjali as she is doing it because of her Chote not because she wants to.

La is on mission to plan something .Lets see what that plan is tomorrow

Episode 69

The Plan in Action

It is time to leave to go the the Raizada's, Buaji is ready to leave. She asks Shyam if he will join them and he adamantly refuses. He says he told Kushi and now he has to tell her. How could you go there? Buaji says she doesn't care about the others of that house but the grandmother is very nice and treated her with respect; Naniji spoke to her so nicely. She says she is going for Kushi because she works there. They threatened us with the contract now they will see she is not alone. She tells him to come but he refuses again. Payal and Buaji leave and Buaji says a prayer to NK to watch over Shyam.

They leave and Shyam receives a call from Anjali. What excuse will he give this time? He has put his plan into action.

Kushi asks Lavanya for a cucumber and she brings her a squash instead. Kushi explains a cucumber is what you put on your eyes. La understands then "Oh, cucumber." I am sure she has had many a spa treatment to understand that.

ASR comes down the stairs sees his sister's face and says with a questioning look, "brother in law?" She says today is the operation of his friend and he is going to stay with him. Shyam's plan in action has taken form. He reaches out and places his hand on her shoulder; she looks at him as says I am all right. Kushi says to Lavanya that Krishna will rest on the cucumber until the time of his birth. Anjali says to Chote do you remember when you were 7 and you put glue on the cucumber, Mom got very angry and it took us so long to get Krishna off. He remembers he was in big trouble that day! He tells Anjali he has a meeting. Kushi looks at him and tells herself the Lord Govenor is leaving who knows who he will argue with or scare. Hmpff! He looks at Kushi and she turns away. What is it with these two? Before he leaves Anjali gifts him with a kurta, like he will ever wear it today! But one day we will see a different Chote. Now that's a plan we will see in action!

Kushi is setting up the swing and everyone comes in. The doorbell rings and Kushi is excited maybe it is her family. La is curious to see maybe it is her plan in action. Buaji and Payal come and Kushi makes the introductions. Nani and Buaji are enjoying each other very much afterall they are both from Lucknow! Akash notices Payal, she blushes. Mamaji welcomes them to the Raizada house. Kushi then says you already met Anjali, oh yes, says Buaji with disapproval in her voice. Anjali apologizes and explains how desperate she was to have Kushi teach Lavanya. Buaji lets bygones be bygones. They are going to go start pooja and Buaji looks around and calls the house a stadium. Of course Mami can't let it go; she tells her her whole village can live here and the battle begins again! Mami's plan to be"tip top" and aggravate Buaji is in total action!

Akash tells Payal he doesn't care what anybody else thought he loved the sweets she made. Nani comes and praises how beautifully Kushi has decorated for pooja. Kushi grabs Payal to come look further. Nani and Buaji are talking again Buaji has met everyone in the family and especially likes Laxmi. She talks about the girls and coming to Delhi, now they talk so much and seem happy. Nani thinks Kushi is very friendly. Yes she is the key to solving all problems. Buaji asks about Lavanya, she is very modern. Nani is embarrassed. Kushi comes they should start everything is ready.

Doorbell rings. Everyone goes to the central hall. The police enter and ask for Kushi Kumari Gupta.

Lavanya's plan has been put into action! Defame Kush, get her thrown out of the Raizada household and out of Lavanya and ASR's life forever!

Kushi says me. Mami asks if there is a complaint against them. Did she sell torn saree's and spoiled sweets to others? Mamaji asks what the problem to the inspector is. The inspector says nothing just a simple verification for employment, Delhi law. But who has called especially today at this hour? Lavanya Kashyup has called. Lavanya walks over and says yes I called. Buaji asks what is going on here. Mami will explain, when a new maid…I mean when a new worker is hired it is necessary to inquire about their background. What if they steal something? Lavanya is now fueling the fire, ' yes and they they have to verify no criminal history.' She looks at Kushi with such contempt. Jealous Lavanya? The Inspector says they don't usually come to people's homes to do this verification but since it is Shantivan they came here. Otherwise you can come with us to the station. Kushi says police station so late? He says yes we need your fingerprints and ask you questions and then we check our database. How many more insults can our Kushi and her family take? Buaji says what do you mean, my niece.. Lavanya is like "Oh come on auntie. Why so emotional, these things are very common nowadays. And Kushi comes here everyday, we can't take a risk." Another slap in the face.

"LAVANYA KASHYUP!"

Nani comes to Kushi's rescue. "Who are you? How dare you!" She talks to the inspector, Mami tries to interrupt and she stops her right there. No one will stop her. She apologizes for the girls behavior and for his wasted time. They do not need verification. Nani knows all about Kushi and she comes from a very good family. But she says as for the others she can't guarantee it like she can Kushi. They turn to leave. Lavanya mutters to Mami that all she wanted was to have Chamkilli's criminal history checked and what's the problem. Mami answers no problem. The women both have a disgusted look on their face and Nani observes this, she calls the inspector back and says she does have someone she would like to be investigated, Ms. Kashyup! OOO Mami and Lavanya's mouths are hanging wide open, they can catch flies. Nani says you are a guest of this house and this is just a test right? Then why are you so scared? So Nani has a plan of action too!

"One minute, Nani!" Here comes Kansa the evil King, ASR, but now he is savior of Lavanya. He thanks the Inspector and say the Raizada house is not in need of them and escorts him to the door. He doesn't want to make a habit of the police coming to his house.

Lavanya whines to ASR, "Oh God, ASR, I have never been so insulted!" He ignores her, asking Nani why the police were here. She says she doesn't know, he should ask Lavanya why she invited them on Janmashtani. He looks at her and she runs away. Lavanya's plan of action has backfired.

Anjali says to Nani and Chote enough, it is too much. What happened was a big misunderstanding. Now all is well. This isn't good we have to do pooja. They all go to the home mandir. Nani apologizes to Buaji. Children make mistakes. Come let's start pooja.

Kushi is walking and stops she wipes the tears from her face and he sees, he stops and just watches her, feeling her pain. He briefly is cemented to that spot, longing to soothe her pain, NO he must go. He walks up the steps and again stops, turns his head over his shoulder to steal another glance.

Maybe he is not as evil as she thinks he is.

Maybe Lavanya's backfired plan of action will go in Kushi's favor.

This is for Sohara, Ami and everyone else who is missing Sarun badly. A short one to cheer up my friends. 😊

Mayoos na ho mere doston, bahaarein phirse aayenge

Mausam ka dastoor hai; saavan, patjhad bhi aayenge

Intezaar karna, tab tak unke pyaar ke geet gaayenge

Umeed pe duniya kaayam hai, woh lautke zaroor aayenge

Don't be depressed my friends, the springs will come again

It is the law of weather; monsoon, autumn will also come

Keep waiting, till then sing their love songs

The world sustains on hope, they will surely come back

Episode 68

Janmashtami

PART 1

Significance of Janmashtami

The verses in the Bhagavad-Gita (a sacred book narrated by Lord Vishnu) say, that whenever there will be predominance of evil and decline of religion, I will reincarnate to kill the evil and to save the good. The main significance ofJanmashtami is to encourage goodwill and to discourage bad will. Krishna Jayanti also celebrates togetherness.The holy occasion brings people together, thus it signifies unity and faith.

Pause here:Lord Krishna has 108 names and one of the name is "Aparajeet"means "A lord who cannot be defeated".Another name is "Bali"... "The Lord of strength"

Connection: Indeed this event in the show signifies the birth of Goodwill in Khushi and an attempt of rebirth of the faith in Arnav at this moment but the goodwill of Arnav is always there,the missing piece is his Faith and that's where Khushi comes in and he will regain the power of Faith in relations , in people, and somewhat in religion.He will be victorious at the end by defeating all of his fears and pains associated with his cruel past.He will get strength in his faith but only because of Khushi.

Pause here: Until next Janmashmati he will regain trust in marriage and be ready for remarriage with rituals and all with Khushi.He will learn to differentiate the good and the bad in relations without mixing these together.The strength of his faith as "Khushi tum nai mujhe iss wishwas peh wishwas dilaiya"[You made me believe in this belief] during Telepathy and at the time of his wedding " Khushi tum ne mujhe yahan khara kar ke mere sab sawalon keh jawab dila diye"[ by making me stand here you gave me all the answers of my questions.]as Khushi's faith which she has on him the night before when she submits herself to him was way too strong for him which he couldn't break regardless of the strength of evil around him.

AWESOME!

But the beauty is Shyam is also a name of Lord Krishna and he will get strength too in his mission of destruction and will remain undefeated until Khushi , Arnav , and Anjali will join hands together to destroy this evil as this festival represents unity and faith in relations as well as in religion.

Pause here: He will try to kill Babuji , then Anjali , Arnav and that will provide him strength each time which will lead into killing his own unborn child but amazingly will accept it from his own mouth as he will turn psycho.

Fantastic!

Khushi 's story telling techniques by acting out with full zoom was fascinating for Naniji and Anjali.She told the whole story of the birth of Lord Krishna and La was like "What" was amazingly entertaining.

Khushi is blowing "Shunk" means starting the battle cry against all the wrong doings unintentionally as she is the savior for all with the help of her savior Arnavji.

Love the egoistic and sweet convo in between our Yummilicious "Kans" and Temptalicious "Elaichi".Indeed she is elaichi as her taste is not that sweet but her "Mehak" [essence] mmm,...mmm...goodheaven..He loves to hear her but can't see her winning over him but she already has done so whether you accept it or not Mr Akhroo."Maan laine main kia harj hai akhir" [whats wrong in accepting it after all Elaichi[cardamom] is a winner not kesar.Love the way her voice signals the soothing breeze on him and his voice dulcifying her but abhorrence takes place over it and then smugness takes over abhorrence "Hum Khushi Bol Rahain hain"[Khushi Speaking] .I wished he sees her rather listening because she was looking so adorable but "ASR is always right" so he cuts that soothing signal.They both sure know how to fight ...😉

Anjali's displeasure over Khushi's humiliation by La and Mamiji was very visible.Hey DM Chote's Jijai's and Khushi's Paying guest are sharing same name with Lord Krishna...By chance isn't he "Daiya Ho"...Khushi explains how milk and things made of milk were liked by Lord Krishna especially Butter.

Symbolism:Milk is a symbol of fertility and purity as its God's gift.

Connection: As Anjali is making Kheer with Milk, She will be pregnant soon.

The strength of their "Mehsoos" feelings of their presence is getting stronger and mutual as Arnav enters and stops by her breezy essence as it touches his soul and she stops at his breezy mist as it touches her heart and we stop at Piano Raba Ve... .They both know each others proximity but move forward being oblivious.As Divine power is determined to bring them closer ,she ends up in his arms as "Hamesha Sanmbhalta Rahoonga"[always take care of you].She frees herself up but he wasn't ready to let her go surprisingly as his hand is still on his waist.hmmm...😳

Pause here:Yellow Dupatta flies as Dupatta always fly with joy and happiness whenever Arnav is around.It represents his inner joy and peace which he gets when he is around Khushi and her touch is just a tranquilizer and does hypnotism on him and he does not remember his surroundings like after a long long time dry land gets the first rain drops and release misty smell and aroma in the air.Amazing thoughts behind this small jesture.

Symbolism:Color yellow Thank you I knew someone would give me the symbolism of that flying yellow dupatta!!!

Yellow is sunshine. It denotes happiness and joy .In some culture it represents cowards and in Japan it represents courage.

Connection: It represents the happiness and joy of Arnav when he is near Khushi and same for Khushi.

The same for Akash as he was giving Di the yellow handerkerchief as his joy has no limit for seeing Payalji.😃

Anjali was making "Mala" of yellow flowers as she does connect to the second concept as she is a coward to accept and face the reality right away because of her blind beliefs until Khushi and Arnav will join forces to give her enough courage to come out of it.

They both were lost in each others' proximity for couple of seconds and both realized it too as she fixes her Dupatta in her nervousness while breathing heavily and he flinches with his desires but again wants to erupt his love with harshness as a defense but again Anjali saves the aroma of this moment .😊

Pause here:Anjali will always be a bridge in between these two.She will be a meditator and a true sister for both of them😊

ASR is not done with KKG as she wants to talk to Anjali and he wants to talk with her.His gazes on her surely indicates as he is seeing some concerns on her face and he never misses the opportunity these days to hit the hot iron so the burn speaks with tease and pain as he knows Khushi never sits on idle ,she retaliates as she is a fighter and thats exactly he wants.He wants her to fight so he can have the real reason to throw her out ...as otherwise he has no choice but go along...He does not have any idea how deeply she has entered in ASR's shell and he is adamant on as "ASR itna kamzore nahin joh eik larki keh khiyal ko dil se na nikal sake.."[ASR is not that weak who can't remove thoughts of one girl]...but can you? You couldn't do it when she was not near you and now????😉😊

Khushi seeks permission to go home early from Anjali but Arnav's revenge over her is not done yet as he wants to speak with her awww...but says in rage "Over time keh paise do Shauq se rukegi...[Give her overtime then she will stay.] Khushi just gulps this insult down by ignoring him,'Anjaliji hum aap se baat kar rahe hain ...phir bhi aap keh bhai ko yeh yaad dila dain keh har chees paison se nahin khareedi ja sakti[I am talking to u Anjaliji but stil want to tell ur bro that not everything is for sale]..He huffs back at her after her ignorance over him,"yeah right Har chees par tum..[everything but you]...Anjali and Nani both intervene and he walks away with ASR eshtyle.Love this angry yummilicious! 😉

Naniji,"humka aisa lagat hai ein sal humra har tuhar apke saath mana likhat hai"[it seems this year we are going to celebrate every event together]...Naniji favors Anjali and wants Khushi to stay by calling her Buaji.Buaji hesitates first as she thinks her "aafat ki puriya"did something wrong but then accepts the offer.

Pause here:Naniji is so right as Khushi celebrating all the events unintentionally together before marriage.Teej, wishing tree, Rakshabandhan, Janmashtami, Diwali,...even after marriage Khushi says to herself during Diwali,"hum Diwali tou phele bhi mana chuke hain iss ghar mein"[I celebrated Diwali before in this house]

Shyam and his plans to celebrate the event with Khushi "gaeiya Bhar mein"[totally ruined] as he does not want to accept this invitation by Naniji.But Buaji is right Shyamji "Aisa Mauka bar bar thore hi aata hai"[you don't get these chances everyday] After all you are Damad of RM and will not be present at this event with your wife and family...Not Nice after all "hum apke Bhagat hain..nirash na kijiye"[After all we worship you ,don't disappoint us] Arghhh...😡😡"Naam se Bhagwan aur Kam se Shaitan"[ by name God and by deeds Satan]

Symbolism:Reflection through glass applies here as he knows the whole picture but still remains unaware of true depth of its nature as he is never in the same frame.He is out when Khushi is in RM and vice versa.Divine powers of DM is really magical in this matter.

Love this parallel scene in between these two new lovebirds.Anjali tells her "Bhudooram" about Payalji and her arrival in RM.Really Akash you are shy more than girls.Seriously...If he is in Payalji's Khiyal [thoughts] so is she by faking being angry with Buaji for his Khiyal.So sweet.[I don't know nice parallel couple]👏😊

La's jealousy over Khushi is coming up to the surface. Love Mamiji about this dialogue,"Pahti saree ki entry huai Zabardast aur tumhai Zabardasti"[Your entry is forcefully but Khushi is welcome to this house with open arms] 😊 So so true...but thats why it is called FATE...

What a dialogue so true to nature as Khushi did enter first with her right foot in[pic of her entry first time] and welcomed by Anjali and then Nani.After that with Arnav's permission but again Anjali and Nani opened their arms for her but La's entry is not acceptable by Naniji or even by Anjali as she is doing it because of her Chote not because she wants to.

La is on mission to plan something .Lets see what that plan is tomorrow

You are welcome, sohara! It is not uncommon to use food as a metaphor for sex! IPK did it so well with that pakoda making scene!! 😉 Arnav did say "I eat jalebis only with you" to Khushi 😳 That was the scene where Khushi wanted to know if Arnav ever had intimate relation with Sheetal!

Originally posted by: indi52

right you are, katelyn. food and sex are never far apart. that i do it only with you jalebi scene was a classic. sexy, naughty, just a bit raunchy, and oh so delicious to imagine (just expanding the mind, thats' all, nothing bad in that, what).

poor censors, how to snip a scene which has two people with all their clothes on, talking about the simple sweet everyday jalebi, and not even in a very tight hug. yet...

now i won't be able to work., thanks to the two of you.

Sorry about that...well not really! 😛 Can't concentrate on work, ha? Where Arshi is concerned, our wandering minds always turn in the guttery direction! They are just too hot!! It is very nice to leave it all to our imagination!
