Are They Really Stars?

Preparing for an engagement can be hectic; there's the picking out of jewelry, clothes, making arrangements for the caterer and sweets, flowers, drapes, lighting, it seems everyone is all a flutter. Then there are the bangles; the bangles of the groom's mother, which are passed on to the newly engaged and soon to be bahu. This is usually not so emotional and actually rather joyous but not when your mother has passed on. She has left her future daughter in law a note explaining to her about her son. Be kind and gentle to him, he is rough around the edges. Short tempered and gussa runs through his veins but his heart needs loving. She asks for her bahu to have patience with him for he will come around. He does have a tender spot in the fortress around his heart, she will just have to find it and chip away at it to make him come alive with feeling.

loved your perception about the letter.

He refuses to speak with her. She is the one who feels his pain, knows his anger and even stands up to it. They aggravate each other like teenagers in "like"; playing hide and seek in the kitchen, Kushi hides behind the counter after her antics while he was on the phone. He finds her after hearing the brass pestle fall on the floor. They are still not talking to each other but he has her cornered. Frustratingly, he knows he can't say anything by her smug look on her face, so he smacks the wall letting her know he is annoyed. She smiles, as he leaves the kitchen again, with that same smug look.

Anjali asks Arnav for the keys to his closet for she is in need of the bangles to give to Lavanya when the engagement occurs. This is like a total reality check for him because I don't think he can even imagine handing over his mother's bangles to Lavanya. This hurts him. How can he do this? They reminisce about how soothing her bangles sounded when they laid down to sleep for the night. I know this feeling because I have my mom's jewelry box and get so much comfort just wearing her jewelry or remembering her wearing it on a special day. That special sound of gentle clanging together of the metal brings you right back to a time of sitting on her lap or having her place the blanket over you as she tucks you in at night. Any fortress built around your heart melts when thinking about your mom; she is your solace, what I call your heart and liver, your comfort. It can also bring you pain, opening old wounds of the loss of the most important person in your life. He doesn't think his mother would recognize him as he is today. very well written.👏👏👏 He leaves his Di, shaken to his core and meets Kushi on the way out. She sees him with glistening red rimmed eyes 👏and knows something is wrong. He is followed by Di who also has tears and Kushi asks what happened. She explains to her about the bangles for Lavanya and they were speaking about their mother. Kushi understands, afterall she has lost her parents too. She knows his pain.

Anjali asks Kushi to give the bangles to Nani but Kushi doesn't want that responsibility and would rather bring in the chilies from out near pool side . She goes there and sees him looking up at the stars. Hesitantly and quietly, not to disturb him, she walks to get the chilies. He no longer keeps their pact of not speaking to each other. He needs her now. He needs her affirmation and answer to the question he is going to ask her.

"So, do they really become stars?"

(Because, I could really use my mom right now! Me too, Arnavji.)

She stops a bit shocked that he has broke his pact of not talking to her. She answers, it is not about reality but your belief. This moment is shared by them, both so very vulnerable, letting their guard down to let each other in to the most intimate part of their hearts. Just beautiful! yes indeed. Arnav tried to find solace in Khushi's assurance. It's proved that he needs her in his most turbulent state.Her heart says that the star above is her mother and the one next to it her father. They always watch over her. They keep twinkling just like they are smiling down on her.

He asks her are they happy with us?

He asks so innocently, you can see his heart is full of pain. He repeats the question to her changing it

"Is my mother happy with me?"

She is looking at him intently, sadness in her eyes. She worries for him, her LG. He looks at her with his chocolate puppy dog eyes and really looks like that 14 year old boy who has just lost his mom, his eyes questioning, begging for the answer yes.👏👏👏 She doesn't answer him but her eyes speak a thousand words. She starts to leave, she turns and asks him if he is okay; he shakes his head yes.

One of the most beautiful and intimate moments of IPK and my heart was burning through this scene. I felt their pain, their love, their insecurity, their loss and their gain. They stepped into another realm of intimacy; sharing most personal emotions, feelings in relation to their dead parents. Completely vulnerable, he allowed Kushi to see his pain and insecurity. Was he a good enough man? Would his mom be proud of the man he has become? What can he do to be a better man that his mother would be proud of? She was his mentor, always giving him directives for his life and his heart. His loss was great.

loved your cognitive thought.

So we ask again...

Do they really become stars?

I hope they do because when I look above at the heavens every night and see the twinkling stars, I feel my parents love.

EPISODE 125

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO YOU?

Why didn't you inform me? What difference does it make to you? It makes a difference, dammit, because... Bite your tongue ASR, don't say another word or she will know your reality even more so... again!!!!

Anjali interrupts and takes her downstairs. His world has just caved in. What did he think, she was going to wait for him? She is of marriageable age; her parents weren't going to wait. He should have made his intentions known instead of being so stubborn and by the way, ASR, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO YOU?

Lavanya is genuinely happy for her friend and her smile is from ear to ear while Kushi is forlorn and sad. Her decision to become engaged was not one made with love but with guilt, for the sake of her father. They feed her sweets and they ask his name and she tells them Shyam. There is more than one person with the name Shyam, Anjali states. Not really Anjali, he's the same one that belongs to you, sorry dear. Anjali asks her, isn't your paying guests name Shyam and the conversation goes into some cute lines and snickering about her being the landlady getting engaged to the paying guest and something about waiving the rent as dowry, of course said by Mamiji. Kushi is uncomfortable, you can see it. Kushi's phone rings and La grabs the phone teasing her it is Shyam. She won't give the phone to Kushi and it becomes a game of cat and mouse. ASR comes down and La runs behind him saying Kushi is so excited to talk to her future husband. He stands their with an angered look on his face and La drops the phone and both he and Kushi catch it together. He has the phone she has his hand. He looks at her with a look that could kill and she steps back. Anjali grabs the phone and answers it. He walks angrily away and by the way, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO YOU?

She has a one sided conversation with Shyam that she has come to know everything etc, etc he is very quiet and annoyed. Finally Anjali hands the phone to Kushi saying he doesn't want to speak to her. Kushi takes the phone and Shyam asks who answered, good move Shyam, and tells her that Buaji wants them to get to know each other better so they should go out on a date. A date? Lavanya asks. Anjali has a date. She is a married woman and she blushes and the one who is going to marry she blushes, Lavanya says she is the only shameless one!

Kushi goes to wash her hands from the sweets. Anjali asks her if she is okay, did something happen and Kushi covers up saying she is fine. He is angry, she is engaged to a man she doesn't love so she may be wondering to herself, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE (TO YOU)?

Akash is trying to talk to Payal. She is pulling the clothes off the line but she won't speak with him.

There is a maniacal gardener at the poolside. Chopping away at all the delicate plants, he is just chopping there heads off, I mean cutting the stems of these flowers and plants and doing it angrily. Whose head are you chopping off Kushi or her fiance? She comes and ask him what is he doing. She says do you even know that you are cutting the flowers. He says, so. So, you will ruin all the flowers. That is no concern of yours, he says. Why are you talking like this, your not even paying attention, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO YOU, Kushi and with that he cuts himself. She jumps. Look you are hurt. He won't let her touch him. Lavanya comes, sees his wounded hand and goes into action calling for a first aid box and the girlfriend takes care of her man.

Payal goes to the banging window and Akash is still there. He says he has to ask her one thing. He knows what she has said that they can never be together because they have different backgrounds but put everything aside money, background, family and please answer one question...

do you like me?

ARSHI"S INDEX

Episode 124[MAHA]

Ring[Chakarvyue]-Part2

The journey of ring and the journey of Kangan[both are circles] 👏 thats a an amazing connecting Arshi.

is about to join together as

PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS :Arnav Singh Raizada's journey Which starts from Sheesh Mahal and always ends up there in that moment where his brain has frozen under the scorching sound of gunshot and his scream over his Mom's death. That wedding night which turns into a dark morning with a flame of hate in him which never went down as his journey in the search of Mom's love is burning with scorching heat in him since he was 14.

That flame of hate made him what and who he is Today'Arnav Singh Raizada who is never wrong and who doesn't miss his target.[Arnav Singh Raizada ka Nishana Khabi nahi Chookta] ...The journey of this flame made him snatch away from his uncle what was his once and but after getting it he still wasn't at peace.His Di tried so many times to make him understand,'"un purani baton ko bhula do Arnav..inn sab mein tum khote ja rahe ho..tumhare cehre peh who kyuon nahin hai jo dil mein hai'.."

Translation:Forget old memories Arnav'.You are losing yourself in it'..why your face does not reflect what is in your heart

But that flame is still burning him slowly and steadily internally everyday.His mother ,the twinkling heart of his is watching over him always as his each action in love or hate shows her reflection, her "chabbi".

Khushi Kumari Gupta as an unsaid prayer of his mother came to his life that night in Sheesh Mahal under these twinkling hearts made him started forgetting those scorching moments which he will acknowledge it later,"tumhare saath bitae huwe pal yaad rehne lag gaye"[I just started remembering moments which I spent with you] but here his own hate is prevailing over love as he can't Target which direction he needs to follow and that's how second step of Chakarvyue is shaping here and the flame of which is going to burn almost everyone's life.

Once again tonight his life turns into a darker one after the revelation of her engagement but flame of hate is turning into flame of jealousy, possessiveness, and covetous to turn this around either hook or crook.

Arnav's flame of love is flickering with Khushi's anger but still that brings a soothing effect in him as it reflects on his face as well as in his actions.His hate and anger lowers down in her proximity.They just had a burning fight after bumping into each other which provided both of em a burning point to start with any second .

Mamiji's detective flame of shallowness reveals the house ladies plan to Khushi '.Mamiji's excitement over Khushi's bye bye goes on vacation in Naniji's style.As usual Naniji's burning gazes tame Mamiji's sleuth nature with hanging sword of Akash's wedding'.and now we have 4 women in this success process to bring a change.

ymbolisms and connections: 4 women...In Kitchen...Tere are 4 jars on either side of Khushi.4 represents family and incarnation of goodness of beings in the matter.Connection is simple there are going to changes in these people,incarnation of Mamiji as she will accept Khushi's presence as well as Payal's which is coming up.Arnav's incarnation is inevitable in this painful process too

Naniji's burning O'La La plan to make Khushi happy was just too enchanted as Arnav couldn't even imagine La kissing his Khushi.If that's so then why didn't you accomplish this during Diwali Arnav Bitwa'who stopped you''but the dance and the joy of his favorite ladies brings some peaceful smile on his face.

Naniji,"Khushiji aap iss ghar ka hissa hain"[you are part of this house] and Arnav jolts down with this fact that she is part of him and he can't let her go either but does not want to acknowledge it.

Arnav gulps down Khushi's pain and his guilt but again gets worried about her as he knows she won't be able to say No to everyone.He shares his concerns with her in their silent convo and leaves her wondering about his frustration.

Slouchy Scorpion and the his flame of psych is reaching to the next level after finding about the ring.He turns on the guilt flame in Khushi by telling her"it's her Mom's ring" and now the game plan will change as before she never paid attention to this ring or engagement but after this she will start reacting towards it.Totally didn't like his way of talking with her.Just let Arnav reach to the limit when he will grab your neck for just uttering her name from your filthy mouth.You creep''😡

Khushi's journey of her search from Anjali to Naniji and then Lakhmiji is ready to take a U turn to her LG.

Pause here:Khushi just care about Buaji not the ring'until this point 'Anjali's concerns towards Khushi starting here as she sees sadnesslingering on her face while talking to Scorpion which she discussed with Arnav later.

So Khushi's burning search for her ring bumped into her "Desired Flame" LG again who is in burning zone of game point of "SORRY".It is just his way of making her annoying and angry to just enjoy the brill blabbering of her. He knows her mehsoos as she is here,look how peaceful he is with a naughty smirk on his face like a child.

Arnav with his shattir dimag,"subh tum neh kya kaha tha'keh kissi se bhi maafi maan logi par mujh se nahi..Arnav Singh Raizada se batamizi se baat kar keh bach jao gi'.ring chahiye ..sorry bolo"

Translation:What you said in the morning.you will say sorry to anyone but me.What do you think you will be spared talking with Arnav Singh Raizada like that'you have to say sorry if you want ring'

PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:He will respect her self respect and ego'.after when she comes to him for asking money for rent. ,tum kehti ho ke mujhmain bohat ego hai'tum mein nahin hai kya. Nahi hai to mujhse madad mango. zor se kehne me sharm atti hai tou mere kaan me whisper karo'.[you always say I have ego..look at yourself'if not then ask help from me ,if you feel ashamed of saying it loud then whisper in my ears] '.another one "janta hoon zidi jo ho"[I know you are stubborn] before putting lock on GH

Khushi with her burning ego,"Sorry ...'for what ,it was your fault that's why I refused to say sorry and still do."

Arnav cleverly changes his expressions into fake anger,"Nahin milegi..ab tum sorry nahin bologi..kan pakad keh mujh se maafi mangogi.."[You won't get it until you say sorry by grabbing your ears]

Arnav by intimidating her,"This ring has no meaning for me but it's important for you'...[just wait ASR you will know the importance more than her]...'"mein intizar kar raha hon"[I'm waiting]'...look at his face how he is enjoying her at this moment with sneering smirk as he knows she is stubborn and won't do it.

Khushi with her pride ,her self respect,"Tou phir karte rahiye...'"[Then keep waiting]'.The price of this ring is not more than my self respect...''

She does not care about the ring at this point ,her self respect is always comes first as it's the trait of middle class people .Money or anything else can't buy this pride.

She leaves him fuming with his ego centric flame '..but on her stroll,"hum kan pakad keh maafi mangain ge aur woh bhi un ki ghalati keh liye..Khushi Kumari Gupta aisa kabhi nahi karegi'...[why do I have to say sorry by catching my ears and for his mistakes ..no way ...'KKG will never do it]'...

Pause here: Which Ghalati ,mistake you are talking about Khushi the one he did by breaking your heart on Diwali night or by tossing his thoughts with your name.oh! I mean throwing papers in the air.

but Buaji brings her self respect down by emotionally blackmailing her by bringing the flame of guilt just like Shyam,her parents in it...poor Khushi has no other way around but to put her respect ,her swabhiman aside for the sake of family's happiness to say sorry to grumpy LG.I feel for this soul at this point'.so close to my heart'..

The sight of this ring is causing a fuming storm of anger in him as she defies him,how could she do this to Arnav Singh Raizada'.He was about to throw the ring when she appears like a layer of ice at the tip of Lava.

ASR in acrimony" kya huwa ab kyuon aeyi ho"...[What happened why did you come back?]She walks in with bafflement''...and then by gathering courage,"Kya chate hain aap"[what do you want?] Arnav Singh Raizada in his egocentric way having a tip of smile after regaining his control,"mein kya chahta hoon yeh tum achi tarah janti ho"[You know what I want] '...Maafi mango'...

.Khushi with arduous voice,"sor'...'"Uhh uhh'.aise nahin kan pakad ke"Arnav as a mean playmate'...Slowly hands reaching her ear and smirk on his face'...along with the intense playful music like the questioner is waiting for the answer in a game show and with the shaky afflictive voice SORRY ,...'.Khushi,by looking at him as she is declaring her defeat'..."kitni bar bolna hai "[how many times I have to say that'...]and without waiting for his answer'...sorry ,sorry ,until she started raising her second hand to grab her second ear'...He stopped her right there "Khushi" with his mellowed voice filled with concern and she without hearing '...sorry...shhh,Arnav hushes her and grabs her both hands in his agony over her tormenting in which he put her through as he knows something is bothering her .She looks at him with her teary but full of questions eyes but he can't meet his eyes with her at this point.Sad Raba Ve intensifies the situation.He places the ring in her right hand as this is his right without breaking his gazes'but

She snatches her hand in convulsion leaving him befuddled.She couldn't put on the ring in her anxiousness and vexatious condition just like she couldn't un buckle the belt on Diwali night.He grabs her hand as this is his right to help putting the ring on and both share a deep moment of exchanging thoughts.

Pause here:She never stopped him or in other words he never stopped showing his right on her from teej to character Dheela from payal to kiss 'bandagement to now and later make her to come in his car with him during payesh wedding,removing her hair from her face and many more

This is a realization moment for Khushi for the first time that she is ENGAGED'...When Arnav puts the ring half way through her finger,Shyam's hand comes in her mind [Chakarvyue'.. as Khushi is in but Arnav is progressing towards her just like right now] and by yanking her hand and by lowering her eyes...',"aap yeh Anghoothi nahi pehna sakte''...[you can't put me on this ring] and the very next moment she looks at him with her deepest caustic way in her hollow voice ...'..."yeh humari sagai ki angoothi hai"[This is my engagement ring]''...

The moment gets glaciates with the piercing pain with those hollow words of Khushi and in return it benumbs and desensitizes him and his gesture "Kya yeh saach hai"[is it true?] without WORDS and she confirms it.She lowers her gazes as she can't bear his pain anymore.but he couldn't take his eyes off ...'The excruciating pain and the numbness of the brain paralyzes the Mighty ASR whose hands never miss any target yet lose the grip on the ring .

The ring reaches to his Di who puts it on her finger to complete his MOTHER's wish and destiny's game to make em one but he is unaware of that'.Its unbearable for him to see the ring or her with name of other than him.The inflating pain is suffocating both of them but both are alive without soul at this moment.

The moment is frozen again today in that hollow sound of Khushi by telling him she's been snatched away by him''..Once again tonight his life turns into a darker one after the revelation of her engagement but flame of hate is turning into flame of resentful jealousy, vicious possessiveness, and covetous craving of her.That night he lost the love of his mother and tonight he lost the love of his life .

Pause here:Today Arnav Singh Raizada is standing where he made her stand on Diwali night...It surely crushes your heart and now you know the real pain she's been through...but you are not done yet

PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:Is this the same Arnav Singh Raizada who said that "Arnav Singh Raizada ko kissi larki se fadak nahin padta'aur iss se tou khabi nahin"[ Not a single girl matters to ASR and especially this one.]That rainy stormy night indeed has come back again as "iss larki se fadak padta hai"

Tonight the journey of Ring and Kangan is mingled together as their paths are parallel but will join at one point and that day they will be together,by the grace of HIS mother who gave him this ring under his feet by listening his unsaid prayer and wish of his painful heart''...and she is the one who will show him the way to his Khushi'...but "abhi deri hai"[we have to wait] as again tonight under the moon and twinkling hearts ,parents are hurt as their kids are swelled up in pain again.

Rest will be continued in Ring [Chakarvyue ]Part three
