Thread #12 of the BFTP had a delayed start. Thread #11 itself had been slow as many blasters were busy with ad. Our captain, Indi too was engulfed by the ad for the past few weeks and it took time for her to return to this skd in full vigour. Meanwhile, as time was running out, Durga cut Indi's work short, assembled the pieces for the main page and sent to Indi, thus enabling Indi to start Thread #12 on time. Usually, it is the hero saving the heroine, but since we are involved with a show where the knight in distress was saved by the damsel in shining armour; in BFTP too, something similar seems to have taken place. 🤣

Within days of starting of the new thread, the blasters got eager to celebrate the upcoming 2nd Anniversary of the IPK. They got busy with sending information for combined posts and also planning for their individual posts. As the Anniversary closed in, a special IF IPKKND Anniversary thread was started. BFTP too had their own separate Anniversary Thread. Durga created a separate thread to showcase her entries to the OS contest. Meanwhile, Wiwy who surprised the blasters with an SS on the anniversary, continued the story on another thread. Indi too fulfilled her co-blasters' wishes and started writing a story, in yet another thread. And then, Supriya created a beautiful thread with some lovely picture edits accompanied by music.

The blasters got busy visiting all these threads simultaneously, reading and commenting. And some got busy with spamming on the IF Anniversary thread. All these jumpings between the various threads constantly, left the blasters gasping for breath. Thus it was decided to take a breather. Of course, there were other reasons too. The breather meant, taking a week off from posting episodes. That means, no episodes would be posted for a week. At the time of reporting this update, the option of extending this breather period for another week was being deliberated.

The news desk is happy to inform that sometime back, three blasters, i.e. Katelyn, BarunDiwani and Samin attained the Dazzler status. Also, Chalhov, our cool coolbie completed 18000 posts on IF. A hearty congratulations to all these achievers.

From the news desk, we would like to add that Part 2 of the Anniversary News update, which is being eagerly awaited will be coming up soon. We request our readers to be patient while the same is being drafted.

re part 2, my heroine, i'm waitin'.

i love that in pink, only thing, here the hero might have a shyamness unknown to all. hyuk hyuk, are you ready for the sab diraamma hai.

Sorry, am probably going back to what you guys discuused a while back, am not sure, but i just read this post by Indi quoted by ArshiHamesha...and felt the urge to express. I saw the pictures and couldn't resist as, like many many others, this episode and its scenes are so seductive and so passionate and so on top of my list of IPK gems!

Indi, you have examined and explored with a fine tooth comb 👏 which these moments truly deserve! So thank you for that. I loved being transported back to the intensity of it all as I was reading your piece.

You are so right : these sequences are beautifully thought-through and layered. Having seen it so many times, I still love hanging on to every move. I still try and read the man's thought process, and our girl's actions, both subliminal and explicit.

What I loved the most in your piece is this bit about their elusive, unspoken, unnamed HAQ over each other. Especially his : he has a right to be terribly attracted to her, then terribly mean and hurtful, however only he can drive her home on diwali night and make sure she's safe while he's nastily telling her she means nothing to him. but how dare she then go and get engaged. So true. So wonderfully put, his mystique.

His put-downs are strong and so damn distressful but deep down he must know his connection with her is way stronger. "Yeh kya kar rahi ho tum?" always takes my breath away, it is said with so much truth when nothing else is. How should she know for sure what he means? She senses it vaguely but his actions and words are so misleading... And he hates being vulnerable so he HAS to lash out each time he lays bare his true self...

I once read somewhere that only in the movies do people say what they feel. Reality doesn't work that way. People almost always are in self preservation mode and say something entirely different from what they actually mean. The undercurrent of what is said is of value, and reveals the true nature of a conversation.

I believe that all good writing recognizes this and strives to achieve it. And what is not said, becomes far more fascinating than what is, and so precious. ASR and Khushi do it with aplomb, in my opinion, particularly in these the most torrid of IPK episodes...

I could go and on. But I should stop... or this will truly reveal my true-est nature!!!!!!!

isspkaur,

pink underlined, fantastic observation. we rarely mean exactly what we say. in relationships taht matter, there's often a sort of code in our communication, each specific and relevant to the two involved in it, that needs to be interpreted to get to the truth.

i loved your underscoring this aspect of ipk and its writing... it's really so so difficult to get into a character's skin and say the things they might.

"yeh kya kar rahi ho tum," some sort of classic delivery that one. sorry, i misquoted, as i wrote i knew i was typing wrong but since the flow was there in the thought i went on regardless. that question in that tone. killing it was. as though he thinks she's doing this on purpose... and he is the intended target of her actions. he isn't thinking this consciously, it just comes out that way. and oh has she found her mark.

i have been sitting and staring at my notes on 129 and 130 since yesterday. do you know, long after the episodes were over, i stayed in a foul, suffocated state of mind, then actually cried? tears for a nonexistent character, he's raving and ranting, hurling abuse, slamming doors, and i am feeling his desperate pain. something is wrong with me, or was the acting and the humanness of it all so moving.

that's some truth about me, he he, so c'mons tells me, what's your truest nature? 😆

There is nothing wrong with that Indi,its just these characters are part of our life now and we laugh when they laugh and cry when they cry and dear when they cry I forget these re fictional characters and do the same.

Its quiet natural ..you know my nature I am a crying baby when these scenes come and it does take time for me to sit and write.I am so different in my real life,I don't cry that easily in front of ppl but in my corner may be hrs

Hum kaise tells? (Yaad dilana zaroori tha kya? Is acidity aur dilli ke hawa paani ki vajah se humaari toh haalat hee kharab ho rahi hai 😆)

But truth be told, humara haal bhi aap jaisa hai. Sach toh ye hai that the character is not really "non- existent". The acting and the humanness is terribly moving, and we feel the desperate pain... cos we carry it inside. I can only speak for myself but having been at both ends of the rave-rant-hurl-slam spectrum, I get it.

So it makes me cry too, for him and for her. (Damn it Devi Maiyaa, ye humne kya bol diya? Paagal ho gaye hum!)

episode 127

he asked her a simple question, and though her eyes said everything, the pucker of her brow spoke of her consternation, and the wind underscored each word her heart possibly replied👏, yet she uttered words that conveyed just the opposite... for there was nothing else to do.

ever since her "yeh humari sagai ki angoothi hai," a tightly packed ready to burst emotion has entered the scene, an explosion lurks near.

something was intriguing really as the episode started though. he'd thrown an ultimatum at all, this engagement will happen tomorrow or never, and before leaving he'd paused and looked at her squarely in the eyes. a challenge leaping in his. so you think you're happy, let me show you how happy i am. a classic struggle of emotions intertwined, inevitable... who will admit first. who will as it's called "give in."❤️ - Superbly said ⭐️

early life trauma had damaged both. asr had shut out "love" and latched on to money and power to negotiate life. everything had become a deal. khushi was more together in many ways, believing much in love and all the good/wholesome things of life, having given herself the support of a belief, that her parents rested in those stars up there and watched over her. and there was devi maiyya as her constant companion and "mother." yet, this man rattled her composure like none other. he made her feel different. he didn't accept her at face value. he questioned her basic goodness. he got under her skin. he became her rajkumar. - Lovely

hard to explain, but there it was.

with asr perhaps, khushi for the first time entered the real mysteries of life.
and somewhere she started assuming she had a right over him that nothing in their relationship really gave her👍🏼. interestingly, it was the same with him. he has a right to be terribly attracted to her, then terribly mean and hurtful, however only he can drive her home on diwali night and make sure she's safe while he's nastily telling her she means nothing to him. but how dare she then go and get engaged.❤️ - too good 👏👏

he's coming across as most confused and confusing. how come the shatir one is not seeing this himself.

but to get back to that thing that was intriguing me... look at her. after asr shimmies off, satisfied with his lethal move, la is in a mess, "asr ko aisa kya ho gaya, itna gussa?" what's happened to asr, so much anger?

di assures her that she would speak to chhotey. but khushi takes matters in her own hands. she knew he was mad at her, but what makes her think that she can persuade him to change his mind? in fact, even di isn't waited for... she rushes off to talk to him. - aw one she knws she's the only one who can make him listen 😊

a sense of right... intimacy... perhaps even, power. and soon enough an argument that had the sound and feel of a husband wife fight.👏

"arnav ji..." he pauses then walks off... she chases him out to the pool, he picks up a file pretending to be busy or maybe he is.

"aap aisa kyun kar rahe hain?" why are you doing this?

"main kuch bhi karoon, mujhe tumhe jawaab dene ki koi zaroorat nahin hai." i may do whatever i wish, don't have to answer you. in your face, angry and definitely looking to engage in battle.

"par aap itni jaldi kyun...?" but why are you rushing...?

"tum hoti kaun ho mere life ke decision mein interfere karne wali..." who are you to interfere in the decisions of my life? just the kind of thing we say to those who are important enough to us. much later he'd ask her to claim her right, her "huq" over him, wasn't this also in a way a plea for the same... almost😳? he goaded her... what if she'd said, i'm the one to whom you matter, what would have happened to all that fight and fury in arnav singh raizada then? - would love to think of tht...

"aap samajhte kya hain apne aap ko... aap ke saamne dar ke maare koi mooh nahin kholta iska matlab yeh nahin ki..." who do you think you are, she parried with equal rage, just because no one opens their mouth in front of you... she stops... she knows she's gone too far.

there's that intimacy here... who are you... who do you think you are... an entering into each others personal space... not what polite acquaintances do... this is close personal private circle stuff.👍🏼

a certain sexual undertone since "yeh kya kar rahi ho tum," in a husky torn voice. he is cut too deep. he's not really in his senses. hitting out at his tormentor; she who thinks she is the tormented one. again a classic bind of two people in a tight embrace of feelings... not neat understood clear sweet feelings, but convulsed, tumultuous, almost threatening, confusing, hardly understood ones... all of which compel and pull like a magnet. - Amazing ⭐️👏

"chumbak" is magnet in hindi, "chumban" is kiss... i think not by chance.

when anjali ji and nani ji have consulted the priest and fixed your eng- she stops short again. why? can't she say "your engagement?" he is looking at her, eyes slightly narrow... studying her expressions around that word she didn't say.

the duel continues.

if la hasn't send you... "toh kyun ayee ho"... why have you come? i won't listen to her, nor you... "so just get lost."

"nahi get lost." a sparkling khushism. "aapko sunni padegi... yeh aap ki sagai hai... koi khel nahin..." this is your engagement, not a game.

"tum mujhe samjhaogi.. tum pehle apni engagement toh sambhal lo..." you'll make me understand? first manage your own engagement...

alas... no one is "sambhalo"ing anything, both are falling apart.😆 - sry..i knw you meant it in a serious note...but it cracked me up

"hum apni nahin... aapki sagai ki baat kar rahi hoon," not mine, i am speaking of your engagement says khushi, trying to bring him to topic and get him to see reason. quite unaware how very vulberable she's made herself with taht one assertion, how exposed and without chain mail she is now.

the warrior moves with lightning speed. he senses victory. "exactly," burn in his voice at the edges👏, "sagai meri hai... khushi, meri sagai ho ya na ho... kal ho ya ek saal baad ho..." he's walked closer to her, his voice is level, his eyes look deep into hers, a confrontation, he seeks an answer and in that is her defeat... rabba ve under his clear, questioning words... "tumhe usse se kya faraq padta hai..." - this entire para has been beautifully written ⭐️👏

kya faraq padta hai.

what makes a difference, what doesn't. who makes a difference. who doesn't.

exactly... the engagement is mine... khushi, whether it happens or not... happens tomorrow or a year later... what difference does it make to you? an echo in his voice, a hollowing out, not put their by a machine, just by a breath releasing a feeling...

arnav singh raizada ko kissi ladki se koi faraq nahin padta, he'd asserted in a torrent after seeing her in red, holding her in the rain, feeling things he'd sworn he'd never feel.

yet her, "aapko usse kya farq padta hai?" had blown a hole in his carefully constructed fort faraq nahin padta, and he'd lashed right back, "mujhe kya faraq padta... mujhe faraq padta hai dammit kyunki... ?" showing his extreme vulnerability, his need, his despair.

now it was payback time. she'd ripped off his ramparts, he wasn't letting her get away with it. - i hear hailstorms 👏

what difference does it make to you... a dance around each other has started... sensuous, sinuous, ferocious, a sexual dance that seeks a culmination... in an admission, a surrender, a submission.⭐️

tell me, say his every word, look, move, shard of gussa, tell me i make a difference... baat aapki hai iss liye faraq padta hai... she answers him months later...maybe that's why it hurts him so much to go away, far from her... to her, he always made a difference... just that she didn't know how to place it before him... he was someone else's and he had told her she meant nothing to him.

a gust of wind, that storm since 124 sweeping in, it will make her say all the wrong things.

he looks at her intently, a slight swallow, the wind plays on, he tilts his head ever so slightly to catch her expression, enquiring.

in a confused disturbed voice she avers, "aap ki sagai ho ya na ho, hume kyun faraq padega?" whether you get engaged or not, why should it make a difference to me?

the wind was keening as though running sadly over barren moors...

and she gathers her strength, all her yearnings, into a tight slam of indifference..."suna aapne, humne kya kaha... hume koi faraq nahin padta," did you hear what i said... it makes no difference to me whatsoever. this time the echo came from a machine, it sounded distorted to him just as her "hum bahut khush hain" had sounded.

he just held her gaze and let his longings seethe. rabba ve, wasn't that its most melancholic note ever.

his gussa made his nostrils flare, he grabbed her hand and dragged her after him as he went to make his next announcement...

has television ever seen such layered sequences before? that hint at things gone by, things to come, things seen and unseen? so much in every scene, every look, breath, word? i have never hung on to every move and sound of a serial like this ever before. not likely to happen again. rabba ve.

Indi...m out of words to praise your exquisite writin...just Brilliant⭐️👏...your words hav their own life in them...i love every highlighted bit...
i envy your writin 😳

episodes 127 and 128 and a couple of enduring scenes

"sochne se kya hota hai... jodiya hum thodi banate hain... wo banawat hai... kabhi kabhi aisa lagta hai ki jeevan ek suhana sapna hai... achanak koi mil jata hai, pyaar ho jata hai... aur phir... shadi ho jaati hai..."

"what's the use of thinking... do we really make the couple... that one (god) makes them... sometimes you tihink life is a lovely dream... suddenly someone comes, you fall in love... and then... you get married..."

in a mother's words, the writers sent a beautiful and thought provoking message on marriage and how to seek a life partner. whenever i think of marriage i think it is the only "forever" relationship, permanent tie, we seek which is made by us. the others are all the ones we are born with. no dna link, but we want to make a lifelong partnership, make an outsider into family. we use whatever means society gives us to tie each to the other... religion, law, social rituals. because somewhere along the way we figured, this works for us. despite all its shortcomings it works, it is rather beautiful by and large, and it sustains human life. which is why despite all the challenges to this relationship, it still seems to hold sway over our imagination, emotion, intellect. some day maybe we will not have this institution called marriage.😕 - i din get this bit...why do you say tht?

but till such time, what garima ji tells her daughters is of great value and replete with insight. having been married nearly 30 years now, and having gone through the experience of falling and being in love, i have to say, the writers did not a single ramanchi here. just one thing maybe... garima ji speaks of what we call "love marriage," well i don't think in families like the guptas, this is considered the norm. it may be accepted under certain circumstances, but the '"arranged marriage" is what prevails here. but i shan't quibble, for i reallly enjoyed these words.

"aur kuch toh.. kuch toh shadiya itni jaldi jaldi tai ho jaati hai ki, hum apne aap se poochte rah jaate hain ki yeh jo bhi hum kar rahe hain kya sahi kar rahe hain? kaun hai yeh insaan jisske saath hum poori zindagi bitane ja rahe hain? hum toh theek tarah se isse jaante tak nahin... hazzaron sawal poochte hain... lekin jawab ek bhi nahin milta... kahe? ki oo jawab zindagi jeekar hi milte hain... aur kabhi wahi rishte jeevan bhar ka saath ban jaate hain..."

"and some... some weddings get fixed so fast, that we are left asking ourselves that this what we are doing, is it even right? who is this person with whom we're going to spend our whole lives? we don't even know this person well... thousands of questions we ask... but not even one answer we find... why? because that answer is found by living this life... and sometimes that relationship becomes the mainstay of ones whole life..."

of course, in her thoughtful, loving words are many hints about the future... khushi's sudden marriage with a man she barely knows, her many questions, her living with him to find the answers in time, and their relationship becoming central to both her and asr's existence. beautiful, isn't it. perfectly placed, not at all forced, a general theory of marriage and a special one. -on the underlined part... Indi if m correct...you r the one who mentions tht Khushi knows Asr...then how do you say...tht he is man she barely knws?

in 128, she complete her thought.

"jeevan mein halat kaise bhi ho achhe burey... koi faraq nahin padta... jeevan saathi achha hona chahiye. bas."

"whatever may be the state of one's life, good or bad... doesn't make a difference... your life mate should be good. that's all."

koi faraq nahin padta... what a smooth assimilation of these core asr khushi words into a treatise (almost) on marriage.

life partner... somehow the word husband never says it all... this is who that person is... someone to walk this life with. jeevan saathi. and garima ji is right, if you crack this good, the rest is just detail. interestingly, in our changing times, the word partner perhaps has more resonance than husband for many. thing is, call this person what you will, here is a submission to a basic truth... we aren't geared to live alone, be all by ourselves... i know somewhere being alone is getting seen as being independent, free, master of ones own life, etc., but really, there's much to be experienced and gained from this seemingly imperfect relationship, with a jeevan saathi. my point of view, all may disagree.

"humara dil kahta hai, ki shadi ke baad tumhe jeevan ki saari khushiya mil jaayengi."

"my heart says, that after marriage you'll get all the happiness of life."

mother indeed knows best.😊

in 128, a little progress on the payal khushi front. even anjali can't take akash's hesitant steps toward the woman in his dil. he's so nervous, reminds anjali of someone going to take exams. and gentle akash doesn't get mad at his lovely di's choice of words. if you've never lived with extended fam you'll never know the giving and considerate love that sometimes grows between cousins and siblings and even second and third cousins. you forget to say the word cousin, everyone is your brother or sister. i have spent much time with my father's side of the family, people i refer to as cousin are often third cousins and i remember my father used to always call his first cousins, brothers. bhai. - nice talk...i hav nvr lived in a joint family...not even tht close to my cousins

charged up, akash bounds off to woo his lady love again. the pretext: invitation to bhai's engagement. a rather sweet scene. buaji the abrasive martinet between two love birds cooing awkwardly. got to say both akshay and deepali were really good here. wish they'd used these talented actors and taken payal and akash to a well told story of love, marriage, conflict, understanding, acceptance or whatever. not just sidelined them and insulted their and our intelligence. - well said 👏

while the sweet lovers meet at gupta house, the faraq padta hai duelists confront each other in the shantivan hallway. note the battle music... let the war dance begin.👏

"anjali ji ne toh kaha tha ki... aap nahin aa rahe hain..." anjali ji had said you won't come... helpless almost.

"kyun, tumhe kya faraq padta hai?" why, what difference does it make to you? a devil in his eyes.

then a little chicane over the issue of the ring. the moment he realised khushi had recommended it, he withdrew his approval and said all he'd said was it's nice, but he'd like to see more. strangely again, the delighted lavanya, did not notice the cool response to her elated hug. really, te moment he presents himself people are happy to turn into willing slaves... er i can't ahem blame them. but, what the.🤣

he said: main ne yeh nahin kaha mujhe pasand hai, maine kaha achhi hai... aap aur dikhaiye. then over di and la's heads, indulged in flagrant eye talk with his opponent.

a rabba vey as he sat looking at her... his eyes plotting... hurt... angry... deal maker is going to get his way.

seduction by war.😳

she looks at him, worried, sensing danger.

and the meanest trick on earth is about to be played.

"mujhe yeh khareedna hai..." he points to the set of ornaments her eyes had looked at with interest and a slight smile gleamed on her lips. he notices her, and how.

a deadly game played with a clear intention to deliver extreme hurt... asr music dresses upa battle most unfair. a deliberate walk to her... "khushi!" again that intimacy in his voice.

she's worried, confused, expectant, scared, everything, with just one move he will get her. he hands the set to her. she's all trepidation, wobbly voice, garbled words, "aap, yeh..."

the necklace is held aloft by slender hands, a gaze is fixed on her face.

"aap," a wretched whisper...

"yeh..."

"lavanya..." has a voice ever been so cold smooth cruel? "mujhe dekhna hai yeh tumpar kaisa lagta hai..." i want to see how this looks on you.

oh the hurt in her quickly averted gaze at la's "it's so pretty, tumne mere liye chhose kiya?" did you choose it for me? the liar nods. 😉

his eyes never left her, not while he removed the hair from the nape of la's neck, not while he fixed the necklace, not while la hugged him in gratitude. one quarry he pursues, one capitulation he craves. arjun's aim, arjun's lakshya... and she stands there hurt, breaking, slowly coming apart. - Amazing ⭐️👏..wat a line 👏

not satisfied with that, he strode up to her, predatory... "maine tumhare pasand ka set lavanya ko de diya..." i gave the set you liked to lavanya, he rubs it in. rabba vey... "i hope tumhe koi faraq nahin padta hai..." i hope it makes no difference to you. smooth and extremely nasty, voice turned deliberately woozy sexy, eyes calm and calculating... the meanest boy in class... - definitely

yet she loved him, and how. with asr, khushi really entered the mysteries of life. we don't make couples, the one above makes them, so many questions we ask, not a single answer comes, that comes only by living this life. rabba vey.👏👏

Indi...the first half is complete marriage talk...which i din get much...but the meanest boy in class/arjun's aim...Amazing👏👏

But truth be told, humara haal bhi aap jaisa hai. Sach toh ye hai that the character is not really "non- existent". The acting and the humanness is terribly moving, and we feel the desperate pain... cos we carry it inside. I can only speak for myself but having been at both ends of the rave-rant-hurl-slam spectrum, I get it.

So it makes me cry too, for him and for her. (Damn it Devi Maiyaa, ye humne kya bol diya? Paagal ho gaye hum!)

in pink bold, me too... 🤣. i not only get it... i kind of love it too... even dm can't save such a sinner.
