Horizon - Hello! Long time. Had no idea where you were...wondered. Thanks for sharing so passionately. Your words, perfect for this thread, which is glistening with gems all around...intense and beautiful.

I'm breathless taking this thread in... with so little time to rejoice... but glad i got here and read yours. A really close friend of mine became a Hajji recently - a man though - but my eyes literally widened with disbelief as i read your post cos i spoke to him just hours ago...a changed man he feels he is, after the profound and extraordinary journey he has taken... a promise he had made years ago,to someone very close who was dying...

How amazingly interconnected all our lives are i often feel, hearing the notes on this thread. Strangely comforting that thought. Teri meri-meri teri...hum sabki thoughts...lovely to read and lovely to share!

I just went wild a bit with one of my favorite arnav khushi images, putting it up right here... in celebration of us!

And thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

fascinating thing to read first thing in the morning... i wish some maker or actor of this show could read this... try and understand what it meant to a viewer, outside the bounds of the daily politics, the humdrum of the show.

at least they'd know what they achieved here was much more than money and its buzz.

surreality. there was so often this quality of break through, of another plane here. in teri meri and telepathy talk clearly... but at so many other, even every day moments.

what i loved was how it touched many planes in the same episode at times, within seconds. one minute they were earth and all its excitement, the next somewhere else and you were feeling yourself being pulled along.

thanks, horizon, for taking to where your namesake hangs around.

episode 170 after the dance

as the music died down and the astonishment turned to applause, reality stepped in. it was time to leave the stage and walk out to people, let the world in. she looked back tentative... still in shock, still not quite certain as to what happened or how. he walked behind her, she cou;dn't quite fathom it all... and he? was he a little lost in another world too? he kept moving as though seeking something... she turned to look at him, and there he was... and he noticed her and looked right back, a hint of smile, an appraising look, a question in it?

she had to leave... somehow she found her way to the room, and shut the door, then turned and at last all the feelings on her face. she was frazzled, excited, nervous all at once. she couldn't understand what was happening to her. in a piece of beautiful writing and direction, the episode went to its next high after that elevating tango. khushi's emotions, her state of mind at that assault on her senses, that beckoning to her heart, that convulsive response of her gut... what was happening to her. sanaya portrayed a young girl in disarray impeccably... she who was so ready to be woman... look at what she remembered... him wrapped around her, his hand on her navel, both undulating in the closest embrace... and hey devi maiyya what was that... a sound rose in the room, she clutched her chest.

yes, dhak dhak was back. she had worked so hard to forget it, suppress her acidity forever. she'd almost succeeded. but now, after that dance, after that romance, after the smile in his eyes, the heat in his hands... they were back. his submission had had its way with her. she was yes was his. dhak dhak dhakdhak.

as he was hers. and maybe the realisation was so big he needed to rest a bit away from all, and return to equilibrium. he went and leaned against a pillar, a tiredness about him. but rest was denied. the family needed answers. how? what nahin, what the? what was that... it was nothing. the matter of fact man was not going to explain things to his slightly loopy and certainly interfering fam. her partner hadn't come, so he danced with her... that's all... really? well i am pleased they badgered him for it got me the slightly cocked eyebrow look, the roll eyes up edition, the purse lip sexily version (bet he practices that in front of a mirror, he knows how devastating that downward drag of his lips is, i know i know). finally, he called it a day with the deadpan... everything isn't about winning and losing. what! sister almost passed out, grandmother looked aghast, cousin was now certain this is not his bhai, nk looked more clueless. not a matter of haar jeet? was this arnav singh raizada? in a way it was, in a way maybe it wasn't. he seemed to be in a rush... where was he going?

when she opened the door she was sure it was her sis. and that dhak dhak had to be handled. denied... it was all his fault. who would have thought that laad governor... no she was not going to give in... who did he think he was... makes no faraq to her whatsoever. again great insight into such unsettling feelings, the claim of desire, the force of love... she had to protest.

and it had to be not jiji but the man who leans like a god, of course.

at some point, all thought, movement, rambling had to cease. this was it. eternity in a grain of sand has been sighted i believe, but in the angle of a body, one shoulder casually against a door, two perfectly tucked hands? the lord of dance, nataraja, had done his cosmic number, destroyed all apathy, and started creating love.

Anita,👏

Love,Love the siggys, u know I always wait for em...⭐️.

Yes the whole world became silent for them and the moment was just for them and remained for them...You are right only Shyam and Mami had sharp view of what is going on in between these two.😉

😆Arnav indeed has Bionic ears in his Lady Love matters...and how about eyes...come on Think a cute name as you always have a cuter one.His eyes are way sharper and killing than any thing else.

The blue above...same here and I think with everyone too as we all felt the same.I did but feeling like angry...mmm..I left this ,oh I forgot that...there is a lot in this sequence no doubt...😊

This is the far more sensuous than any thing I've ever seen😳

Thnx Anita such a wonderful review...

The Top Edit is just telling me a story itself...as he is telling her with his right by keeping his face at her neck ...Listen Trust me "You are mine" as always and then he practices that right by claiming her body by touching her bare skin and she accepts it by putting her hand on it and says Yes to him by touching his face ...by claiming her right that and "you are mine too" which she said later..."aap par sirf hamara haq hai"😊

Thnx Anita...Just too good

and with his actions he seemed to start communicating things he'd find words for much later... You said it all Indi, what can i say! Why is this dance is such soul touching and absolutely captivating becos he seemed to have finally found a way of expressing himself there on the stage in those various moves. It felt like a mirror to a heart.. a golden one at that!

Loved all your "B" edits.. 👏

ofcourse breathe is my most fav moment, always loved how the lights were dimmed in the background for that..just the both of them lost in each other but NOTHING else can permeate there!. and the last one.. the breach.. I always wondered what his thoughts were for that moment..liked what you said about it .. he enjoying her beauty..and even perhaps enjoying the sight of she comfortably laying on him without any hesitation... an absolutely manly thought.. to give that peace and comfort to his woman ..

Loved that in purple a lot.. this 2/3 min so called on stage performance narrated so much of a very personal love story.. and also the 2 parts of this dance. the dance was designed in two parts it seemed. each with its story, its purpose, its essence.

Love how he is so self assured about what he is doing and confidant of not in being denial any more..

it's in his every move, his grace, his touch, his gaze and how she senses it and gives in.

that band gala by now, although a blooper as every one was so tired by the end of that first part couldn't shoot any more... now it doesn't bother me.. as all I see is two souls completely lost in each other dancing into eternity!

an enthralling read, just like the sequence itself!👏👏
