Hi all, I am back after a long day. It's been not even 24 hours since the thread started and we've already reached the 10th page! Arshi, Ami, Indi, Sohara, Cynthia, Supriya, Horizon, Anita, Chalhov, Wiwy, Saloni, ArshiD, IssK, everyone has posted such beautiful and touching friendship day wishes. I am going to save all these beautiful wishes in my pc. I think almost every blaster has come and posted here today. 😃 Samin, hoping you too make it here before the end of the day at your place.
Indi, happy to hear you found your school friend. That must be such a thrilling feeling. Thanks for that lively song from Bobby and also the Frasier video. I remember that episode very well, that time didn't understand what the function was about. Only after your daughter's Bat Mitzvah, I realised that it must have been Bar Mitzvah.
Supriya, your paintings are truly beautiful. You are a gifted artist, you shouldn't ignore this talent. Do continue. I think you've shared the first one earlier, isn't it? Loved both of them. Always felt painting trees detailing the leaves and painting the water are some of the difficult ones in nature paintings. But, you have done it so beautifully. 👏 Loved the texture you gave to the water, the waves look so real and so does the sand. ⭐️ And yes, do post the friendship vm again, the occasion calls for it and it is worth another look. 😊
Wiwy, thank you for the Andaz song. It is Kishore Kumar's birth anniversary today. And, I've been waiting all day to post this song sung by Kishore Kumar and another legendary singer Mohd. Rafi. A song on friendship.

Lyrics:

Bane Chaahe Dushman Zamaana Humaara

Let the world become our enemy
Salaamat Rahe Dostaana Humaara
May our friendship stay on forever
Woh Khwaabon Ke Din Woh Kitaabon Ke Din
Those days of dreams, those days of books
Sawaalon Ki Raaten Jawaabon Ke Din
Nights of questions, Days of answers
Kayi Saal Humne Guzaare Yahaan
We've Spent many years here
Yahin Saath Khele Hue Hum Jawaan, Hue Hum Jawaan
We've played here together and grew up
Tha Bachpan Bada Aashiqaana Humaara
Our childhood was quite loving
Salaamat Rahe Dostaana Humaara
May our friendship last forever
Na Bichhdenge Mar Ke Bhi Hum Doston
Friends, we will not separate even after death
Humein Dosti Ki Qasam Doston
Friends, this is a pledge on our friendship
Pata Koyi Poochhe To Kehte Hain Hum
If anyone asks for the address, we say
Ke Ek Duje Ke Dil Me Rehte Hain Hum, Rehte Hain Hum
We stay in each other's hearts
Nahin Aur Koyi Thikaana Humaara
There no other abode for us
Salaamat Rahe Dostaana Humaara
May our friendship live on forever

that is a very wonderful thought of you.
I'm not supposed to be in IF today. But look, can't stay away from you guys. you have become the part and parcel of my life. when i'm getting chance I'm sneaking in here. I was reading Indi's post, that she mentioned her craziness for IF and IPK as her mid age crisis, but what crisis I'v been going through at the age of 21!. my friends laugh at me to see my possessiveness for a Hindi daily soap and my IF mania.
Sometimes I also think are we crazy?😆
Loved the song.
thanks for the lyrics with translation.

durga, that was lovely...

no idea today was friendship day, thanks for those wonderful words. you know, i can't imagine life without friends. and i've found that the good ones you never lose. here in singapore i found the girl who used to sit next to me in school in class 5 back in calcutta and we used to get up to all sorts of madness together. we hadn't met for 38 years, but from the moment i heard her ask, are you indrani, and turned to say yes, we started vibing as though the years had never been there separating us.

for my kid that's what i wish, a few good friends all her life. when she speaks of one of her dearest friends in slightly khushi ott vein, "maa, i muuust do this for her, i have known her aaalll her life and my life, she's my bff, i can't immmagine life without her..." while i tell her to cut the drama quotient, i am secretly thrilled she has this someone else that she feels so close to and goes slightly crazy about.

many people assure me i hang out here because it's a mid life crisis of sorts, 😆 that you guys are not really there, that this online thing is all nonsense, only people who don't have a life get into it... i don't mind, you'll never know till you've done something yourself. i also had many notions, but over this year and a some months, apart from shamelessly giving in to my love for rambling and a certain boy, i have found a fairly precious and not too easy to find thing here. friends.

here's to all of you.


adding here this song that was all about young love and innocent yet sexy romance in 1973, hum tum ek kamre band ho from bobby, it was a refreshing film, even now it feels like that. wonder what khushi ji would say to arnav ji if they went to see bobby together. "chhee, shadi se pehle, kamre mein..." haw, before marriage in a room... and maybe his eyes would gleam dangerously, and she would subside into a dhak dhak session in her seat, while he grabbed her hand and gave her a quick peck on the lips, right there in the hall...

katelyn, cynthia... "kamre mein band ho" means locked in a room... what if you and i were locked in a room and the key got lost... the teenagers go through a series of cute but ott what if scenarios and in all of them bobby, the girl, is ready to do anything for their love... she'll even tell the tiger to eat her instead of raj, her young bf... please note, she whips off her wraparound skirt (very '70s and that long "muffler" of raj's an abs style statement our days 😆) before pleading with the carnivore... a touch of ott kkg right through.

Indi your mid age crisis cracked me up.
now tell me what crisis I've been gong through at the age of 21?
Arnav and Khsuhi are watching Bobby together! 🤔 what you thought is really apprehensive.
See we try to find Arnav and khushi everywhere!😆 how surreal!
Never watched the movie Bobby, but saw the song several times.
Thanks for sharing.

episode 166

they call it a vampire. something in a piece of communication which is so powerful that it seems to "suck" all the attention, and doesn't let you see the entire picture. a few words became a right royal cousin of the prince of transylvania for me while watching the first days of sangeet.

as anjali and snake announced the first dance of the evening, they gave an ishara about the first dancer...

he said,"jab woh naachti hain, ujala toh reshmi hota his hai..." when she dances, brightness of course becomes silken...
she said, "andhera bhi makhmali h jata hai..." darkness also becomes velvety.
i went, "what the..."

a beat in my ears delicate, playful; flashes from a sultry "cabaret" of those days which are now in retro land, but where i grew up. a hot number with a girl swinging and gyrating in shimmery costume, fingers spread out covering part of face, come hither looks just behind, a feeling of night and naughtiness.

"reshmi ujala hai...(the perfectly measured pause with a heady rhythm building up before the next words float in light and alluring) makhmali andhera... aaj ki raat... aisa kuchh karo..."

silken is the brightness, velvety the dark... this night tonight, do something...

anyone seen sharmilee? the 1971 super hot romance about an army officer utterly sexy with the uhhhest smile, shashi kapoor... in love with the wrong twin, the very sultry rakhee. in that film there was this cabaret, by one of the newer dancers, the fabulous helen being the reigning queen forever. she was smooth and sensuous, and together with rd's music and asha's knowing, worldly singing of the evening words, that number pretty much set fire to the moment and got permanently embedded in an 11 year old's mind. the song, the words, the slowly undulating danseuse.

only her name was not top of mind. no... i thought, can't be jayshree t, i've seen her do so many dances, that sophistication... not her surely.

and there she was.



Indi ji! Manch pe aaiye!! 👏👏👏👏👏 (Pileejh to imayjin "Thunderous Applause").

Just read your take (keep that applause ringing in your head) and am instantly drawn to the trunk:
this huge trunk... one had to wonder what it was all about? did it symbolise anything? The one that is turning out to be a sensation! The vampire number one here, in the truest sense, being your memory wala trunk, madam!!

Great tribute to Jayshree T! You make Naani ji reign supreme ... and the Raizada, oh he would be so proud coming second. In which case...what's not to love ??😊


So even though you are siding with the dushman party and all, praising the original makhmali andaaz, hum sanka loving ladkiwaale, we couldn't be happier with the proceedings😊
And the reference to reshmi ujaala and makhmali andhera would've been totally lost on us ignoramuses...I speak for others besides me... cos am sure there's a lambi line of us😛😛😛😛😛😛 Sharmilee, it is a distant impression now, all hazy, except the title track... so would have never ever gotten this lovely nod to the lady... very kicked to get this delicious bit of subplot!

My favorite scene this episode coming up:

as the evening of sangeet gets going, rm is full of guests, everyone is looking great, a gorgeous stage twinkling with fairy lights awaits the performances.

the gupta's arrive, someone's scanning the view casually as if he doesn't care. even to the most clueless observer it is fairly clear however that he is waiting for his challenger to arrive. she who will do "kuch bhi" should she lose. he is not just waiting... waiting impatiently...
waiting dazzlingly, stunningly, gorgeously, breathtakingly. No need to speak/move/do anything else, hotstuff, just stand there and continue the looking and waiting.


asr is not alone in his search, there's nk on a similar quest. movie style they practically dash into each other so focussed they are on their pursuit
(Correct, sir... NK, note his head movement and the shoulder swing, he waltzes into frame a la SRK)... realising what the other's up to, both look a tad embarrassed, but not for long. asr wades in on the offensive, "kya dhoond rajhe ho tum?" what are you looking for? Loving it hotstuff, from quiet to offensive... oooh.


poor nk, "er, woh khushi ji..." the man is looking mighty irritated
and we go ooohagain😆, nk and khushi's little friendship is irksome, jealousy is not an emotion he is comfortable with, but seems he can't cast it aside either.

in all these light asr jealous of nk khushi moments are we seeing shades of what's to come? if this bothers him, imagine his state of mind on the terrace that night. he's about to tell her "faraq kyun padta hai" and there she is... khushi in the embrace of another man. how his mind must have shattered. and then the fusillade of "revelations."
Perfect connection!👏

"par nannav, tum kisse dhoond rahe ho?" but nannav, who are you looking for? nk counters, a hint of mischief there?


who are you looking for... one could go deeper into that one... really who is it that asr seeks? a girl who drives him crazy, or a path to himself really, or maybe something else?

he is caught unawares by that query, just looks lost... but la la la the notes are in, traipsing, lilting, a song in his heart though his khadoos air is intact..
soft, these notes...but what tremendous power they have on his eyes

...nanhe sees the lovely one, hair blowing gently, can't contain himself, exclaims, "khushi ji!!"


a head swivels.

"what?"

and khushi bends down again to push.

eyes turn swiftly in the direction... "kahan?" where?

but she's nowhere.

nk says, there, but uh huh, no kkg..."nk, din mein sapne dekhna band karo..." stop day dreaming, advises the dour one.
It's the anticipation that's killing him. His eyes, they're waiting to devour her... so till he spots her and the moment is seized, he can say nothing remotely encouraging.

ah, so she is a sapna a dream
...oh yes, she is!... not a darwana (scary) one?

khushi comes up again.

nk, "she's right there!"

and she's down again, even as a head swings... the game of hide and seek, ankh micholi resumes... feels as though he is here somewhere, being invoked before sangeet in the ipk way... sense of krishna... hai re nand kissore.
Kya baat hai! Wonderful words👏

and this time unlike the evening of di's anniversary, there is no doubt, another fabulous love story has taken birth on earth. we believe in reincarnation it is said, perhaps every story of love between two souls, is a rebirth of a primal, first love story ever between the masculine and the feminine force? there's radha and krishna in each one of them maybe?

asr thinks khushi won't come today, too scared of losing.
He doesn't really think that, does he now? Just can't wait to see her, is all...each time he flings a challenge her way, she dashes forward to grab it...so he's hoping now too...and voila! Ladki springs to action!

"shayad challenge se dar gayi hai." got scared off by the challenge maybe.

and out pops miss muffet looking big spider in the eye.

"hum nahin darte... samjhe aap." i don't get scared... do you understand?

oh he is happy to see her. so happy that his mind says something to the air and it wafts and winds lifting her hair, swirling around their love song...

i want to defeat you, says her look.

i want to win you, replies his.
Beauteous, how the camera lingers on his face, on that winsome look, for that wonderful wee long moment after NK's made a dash for her.

he reaches her along with nk, "main hari prakash ko bulata hoon" let me call hari prakash, she and buaji are lugging a heavy trunk and he offers a sensible solution... get someone to carry it.

of course, she declines, no question of being sensible here, this is the enemy party and kkg has brought along super sanaka as her stealth weapon. there's no running away from this madness tonight. makhmali sanaka.
..And her loveable loony shenanigans😊

as this huge trunk was hauled, pushed, abandoned, sat in the middle of the way, intrigued mami, one had to wonder what it was all about? did it symbolise anything... perhaps the heavy burden of the knowledge of shyam that all the guptas hid... or maybe something else. what i couldn't get over was what couldn't be carried by buaji and kkg together, nor by nk, the very thin hp could pick up just like that.😆
Cracktastic serial-giri returns😆 Best line, from NK, of course: Khushi ji, issme aur dancers bhi hain?😆

last few minutes had interesting intercutting between nani ji and nk's bichhu ye bicchu dance and shyam desperately seeking scorpion. a little obvious, but apt nonetheless.
Shyam needs to be locked up right now...he goes from dumb to dumber, and his characteris seriously losing edge.

by the way, did anyone notice how terrific the man was looking in his galaband. dark brown deepening chocolate eyes. vampire number two.

Are you kidding me?!!!😆 YOU were the one focused on Naniji and her Bram Stoker abilities there...Hum toh...our eyes were ONLY on the band-gala clad phenomenon above!!!😆

Footnote: Loved Buaji in this episode as well! So just a shout out to her dhai kilo heavy dialogues with Mano, great name that, btw😆 And later on, post aapka wala star of the day performance, when Buaji is all cold feet, Sanka Devi's pep talk... her inner Basanti back in form..."Aaj teri Basanti ki ijjat ka sawaal hai, Dhanno! Bhaag!!" becomes "Aaj Gupta parivar ki izzat ka sawaal hai, Madhumati! Naach!!"😆 And Buaji looks like she's been hit by lightening😆
Lovely stuff...Thanks for sharing!

and so i eavesdrop on a fascinating conversation between three asrs, not counting me that is.

so we have a badi beti who never could quite get in while the chhotey played but is now devising loops worth trademarking. glad to note that you've finally decided what the i am just going to have some funnn and so what if it's silly.

we have scifi girl who is poetic at heart. and who is also our thread's apna one and only ghost. this is some sort of usp, guys. maybe we sjhould put all thsi on maion post... drool corner, loop, ghost.

and we have angry young physics type who is so romantic, she feels each and every tremor and pulse of our man, writes his love story for us again.

and all of us fret and worry about a young man... he more asr than anyone else i bet, though he says otherwise. but we all know, bahut deep down, asr is sitting right in him, just that he doesn't want to share it with the whole world... why should he, we don't.

anyone remember the oompa loompas? 😆 well, we are the asrs few. see ya, guys... practice is looking perfectwa.



Maar daala Indus!! badi beti so touched 🤗 And the ref to the young man and his asr...touche'...i agree ekdum. Who knows what goes on inside someone... With all the things we know and learn, we still haven't even begun to touch the stuff that makes us human. Contradictions within, that's number one on the list for me.

Oompa Loompa yes 😆 ...lets' not forget what it said to us:
"what d'ya get from a glut of tv? a pain in the neck and an IQ of 3"😆😆😆
3 cheers to that!!!
