DC Reflections - 72

Hello IPKians, welcome to DCR, edition 72...!!!

Whenever I think of this episode, there's this 1 scene that I remember...of Arnav looking for Khushi...& finding her..

An angry Arnav dumps a scared Khushi in the middle of the road & drives off into the night, only to realize his mistake & comes back, looking for her...to rescue her...only to find her at her home...safe, secure, & in fulto Veeru from Sholay mode...using him as the lead of her funny skit...to the enjoyment of her family...!!

What I remember in this scene is:

1. Arnav's frustration with himself...his ongoing internal war with his emotions, the battle between his head & his heart...regarding Khushi...

2. His guilt at leaving Khushi behind...

3. His concern for her safety...

4. His relief in seeing her safe & sound & in her full form...

5. Incredulous about her antics...

6. Happy because He (Arnav) was part of her story, even if it was at his expense...

7. & Khushi's realization that Arnav was near her & she turns around to confirm...just as he drives away...

8. Her concern for him, despite his earlier action...admist her own family...

Even after all this time, this moment takes my breath away, in its simplicity & beauty...such a straight forward scene but so many intense emotions & feelings.

That's it from me for today, see you another day. Till then enjoy episode 72:

And she goes tumbling down

It was yet another fall from grace ... it was yet another fall in haste ... it was yet another fall in race ... it was yet another fall of face

Welcome to yet another edition of Reflections, she knew how to make him tick .. she knew how to get him to his knees .. she knew his vulnerable points ... she knew the path to get him to acquiesce ... she was starting to KNOW HIM ... was it any wonder in this cat and mouse chase ... that he would do his utmost to get her on her knees in front of him ... yea as they say ... revenge is a dish best served cold ...

Here she was standing TALL in his house ... here she was the "apple of the most important people in his life's eye " ... Here she was with her stipulations of NOT SEEING HIM ... Here she was WITH HER BIG DOE LIKE EYES ... HERE SHE WAS WITH HER ACCUSING EYES ... but most importantly ... Here she was getting another WOMAN ready for HIM ...

The irony of this made him want to lash out ... the irony of this made him want to scream ... the irony of this made him want to HOLD HER TO HIM ...

She was reduced to a common servant in his house .. a house she was destined to RULE ... a few days back .. his sister while welcoming her asked her to PUT HER RIGHT FOOT FORWARD ... which she did ...

And today when the tableau lay suspended over a ridiculous ploy of a spoilt needy clingy woman ... a tableau which sputtered but could not stand up in revolt ... a VOICE OF COMMAND fell in her favor ... THE MATRIACH of the HOUSE stood up & relinquished her THRONE to her BELOVED KHUSHI ...

The matriarch said ... SHE (Khushi) HAD MORE RIGHT TO THIS HOUSE ... THAN THE WOMAN BEING TRAINED FOR THAT POSiTION ... IRONICAL right ...

For a moment stop on this scene ... when NANI jumps to save KHUSHI ... no one in that group of people stood up for KHUSHI ... except NANI ... infact have u noticed that NANI is the only one who OPENLY stood up for KHUSHI ... UNTILL THE MOMENT ARNAV TOOK THAT STANCE UP ... The night Nani heard Khushi speak & offer comfort to Anjali on the anniversary evening was the night Nani knew ... SHE IS THE ONE ... & hence today she stood tall & spoke out ... in favor of KHUSHI ... but not only in favor of KHUSHI ... but she made her FEELINGS OPENLY CLEAR ...

KHUSHI WAS HER CHOICE ... LA WAS THE OUTSIDER ...

I quite recall in the beginning editions of DCR .. someone wrote that how come NANI was oblivious of the love affair ... far from being oblivious .. SHE WAS THE ARCHITECT of this LOVE AFFAIR ... be it how she used her wily ways to get KHUSHI into SHANTIVAN ... be it her constant DEFENCE of KHUSHI .. or her alacritic acceptance of PAYAL as their second bahu .. which would ONLY level out the PLAYING FIELD BETWEEN ARNAV & KHUSHI ... it was NANI who worked as DM's elf & got the execution underway ... Is it any wonder when the whole the Shyam exposure was done .. ARNAV only spoke to NANI & explained the background to her ... & the beauty of this belief & acceptance of NANI is so incredibly well rounded off during the second marriage of Arnav & Khushi ... when it is only Nani who understands the pain of KHUSHI's it is ONLY NANI who tells KHUSHI ... dont give up HOPE ON ARNAV ... & finally it is only Nani who asks Arnav before the marriage if he was entering this without a trace of malice for KHUSHI ... & this acceptance was laid out in the JANAMASHTAMI FESTIVAL ... when Nani proudly proclaimed ... KHUSHI was FAMILY ... but LA was the GUEST ...

Also wasn't this BLESSING that NANI gave KHUSHI today .. actually welcoming her as a PART OF THEIR FAMILY ... the reason why it is ONLY NANI who has the toughest time in accepting the HASTY MARRIAGE BETWEEN ARNAV & KHUSHI ... her anger ... her devastation ... was complete .. simply cause the reason she selected KHUSHI as her BAHU .. was cause she would MAKE ARNAV UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF WORD MARRIAGE ... but what it looked like that day ... WAS ... ARNAV HAD MOVED KHUSHI TO THE DARK SIDE ... hence her very adverse reaction ...

The marriage of Arnav & Khushi ... if u see this weeks episodes of IPK .. u will see the marriage track being laid .. one of the MAIN reasons of the marriage will be laid out in these episodes ... Oh & if u thot I meant SHYAM's obsession with KHUSHI ... well that was only the IN YOUR FACE REASON FOR MARRIAGE ...

In my intro para ... I have written about Arnav's angst & irritation .. which was growing by the day ... a complete feeling of helplessness ... a fight waging between his mind & heart ... her unerring understanding of him ... & his unerring understanding of her .. was rocking his foundation .. was melting the ice around his heart ... but he liked the cold ... was wary of the warmth ... he got his moment ... he got her alone with him ...

In the dead of night ... in a closed car speeding away ... she gives him a lecture on MORALITY ... a lecture on His ETHICS ... a lecture on his supposedly dwindling character ... a lecture on his INSULT TO WOMAN HOOD ... She screams to him that the way he was dealing ... keeping a woman with him without the SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE ... was the ULTIMATE INSULT ... to WOMEN ...

The fire which was boiling in him ... flows out ... He throws her out of his car ... to land in MUCK ... But comes back to help her ... contrary to her claims of him NOT BEING A GENTLEMAN ... but she is out for her pound of FLESH .. she too has some REVENGE to be taken .. she too wants him DOWN ON HIS KNEES ... she refuses ... TILL HE WILL SAY I AM SORRY ...

He finally has her on her knees in front of him ... but the revenge does not give him satisfaction ... cause the one thing KHUSHI doesn't do is ASK FOR HELP ... the one thing KHUSHI dint do was ... ACCEPT HIS HELP ... ( for the second time)

Now pause while watching this scene ... he offers her a hand to stand up .. similar to how he had offered it in his office ... BUT she rejects the HAND ... refuses his HELP ... She tells him SAY I AM SORRY FIRST ...

Now if u notice this is ... the next time KHUSHI takes ARNAV's help is on route to Nainital when she falls in a ditch ... this sequence is preceded by the post SHRAAD I AM SORRY ... of Arnav's ...

This is called a well rounded script .. many people missed this part of the brilliant script writing that was IPK ... Kudos to the makers & writers for keeping such a small detail in mind ... BRILLIANT I SAY ..

But the most important part of the "second fall from grace" is the reason of the marriage ... she tells him BY NOT MARRYING LA he was INSULTING HER ... but did ARNAV not prove the irony of that statement ... HE MARRIAED HER .. KHUSHI ONLY TO INSULT HER ... ( will probably explain this in future .. closer to the wedding track)

So he threw her out of the car .. she refused his help ... & he went away .. only to be plagued by his conscience ... she had called him a RAKSHAS ... & that's what he had behaved like ... so he goes charging back to rescue (albeit forcefully) .. his damsel ... ONLY TO FIND ... YET AGAIN ... HIS DAMSEL DID NOT NEED HIS HELP ... once again she had shoved his MACHO spirit right inside (u know what) ..but overriding this compelling feeling was a feeling of ...HOPE SHE IS FINE ... the RAKSHAS ... ofcourse had a very BRIGHT STREAK OF RAJKUMAR In him to .. So he goes looking for her ... ONLY TO FIND HER ... GIGGLING ... MAKING MERRY ... & SPEWING SWEET VENOM on him ... his restless heart is appeased seeing her NONE THE WORSE FOR WEAR ...

Yes in their courtship game it was all about one upmanship ... SWEET PETTY REVENGE ... but deep down .. they BOTH COULD NOT CONTEMPLATE A SLIGHT BIT OF HURT ON THE OTHER ... but what was stopping them from getting kicks on each others expense .. RIGHT

She stands there .. wanting to reassure her dear ones ... they had seen her abject INSULT in her place of work ... they had seen her humiliated ... & finally they saw her coming home covered in MUCK ... there was no USE This time to tell them ALL WAS WELL .. that was quite unbelievable ... So she set about to tell them a FUNNY TALE ... a tale which by its rendition made them LAUGH ... BUT what was more ... atleast in her TALE SHE TOOK REVENGE on the RAKSHAS ... atleast in her tale .. she brought the RAKSHAS down on his knees ...

Her family is appeased .. all smiling ... she vows in her heart to teach the man a lesson ... petty revenge for her fall from GRACE .... but as she is thinking this ... a gust of wind blows on her face ... she turns towards the open window... to see her RAJKUMAR charging in his white charger ...

Pause here & connect this to Khushi's story to the kids that day in shantivan ... in a single evening Arnav showed her a glimpse of the man ... who was her RAKSHAS & RAJKUMAR ... leaving her bewildered ... leaving her heart vulnerable ...

This game of CAT & MOUSE CHASE .. & PETTY REVENGE will continue .. till the time in a brightly Lit HOSPITAL lounge ... a broken KHUSHI is looking for COMFORT ... & he walks in & whispers her name ... "KHUSHI" ... in that BRIGHTLY LIT HOSPITAL LOUNGE ... there was NO MORE ROOM TO HIDE ... all feelings which were cloaked ... came out in full flow ... with the most stupendous HUG ... a joining of hearts ... a joining of souls ... a sign from the GODs ...

Is it any wonder why we selected this particular moment as our banner pic ... to me this is one of the defining moments in the screen play of IPK ... from DAY 1 of the show ... Arnav meets a girl ... a girl who constantly spurns his HELP ... a girl who he wants to HAVE & TO HOLD .. but she is the one who NEVER ASKS FOR HIS HELP ... that day in the brightly lit HOSPITAL ROOM she CRIED FOR HELP ... but HE COULD NOT GIVE THAT HELP TO HER ...

This is the DISINTEGRATION OF ASR MOMENT in IPK ... from here on ... the anger is laced with love ... the hatred is laced with lust ... the need to give pain is laced with the need to offer solace ... from this moment on for ARNAV ... it was a simple adage TO HAVE & TO HOLD ...

ENJOY READING ...

CU AT THE IPKS ...

PS : Brilliant teamwork Payal & UD on the banner !!!!

Episode 72

The War of Love and Hate is on but But blessings on Fate is so on too as the more these two players and fighters are getting into action for counterblow and retribution the more vengeance of LOVE errupts than before.The King is adamant to remind Queen its place so Queen is obdurated with filling his throne with thorns of her nutkhut action plans in her Khushilicious and innocent style.Such a light hearted epis with lots of fun and laughter.👏👏👏

Khushi's distress and pain along with humiliation has no pain as she is still baffled about what happened in couple of hours but her "morse code" her smile does not forget to click in time of distress of her family."Nahi Jiji hum theek hain"[Jiji I am alrighgt]Buaji and Payal's concerns for her could not make her to step aside from her promise of the welfare of her family."Aagar pani mein rehna hai tou uss Magarmach ki shakal tou dekhani pare gi"[If I have to live in water then I have to see alligator's face]..hmmm..so you got the message from your Arnavji that it does bother him if he does not see you Ms Temptallicious!...interesting...😉

Pause here:She is going to treasure Arnav's concern for seeing her as this makes him restless for not seeing her.In Sundari and Shaitan story she will keep her eyes closed during his stare and will open when he will get his peace.

Arnav's search for Khushi made him not only worry for her but mad at himself as Naniji says"if he can't help anyone then he punishes himself".Thats what he is doing right now.He is not going to rest until his Khushi is infront of his eyes.

Khushi want to make her Jiji happy as this poor soul hides her "ghum"[distress] behind her smile by making others happy.

Khushi's act for Payal throws light on her inner desires for him.She is talking to Payal in her natkhat move with immense pain in her heart for him and smile for Jiji."If Jiji is not going to talk then I will commit suicide and ASR will be responsible for it."and here he is listening her heart for him.His facial expressions with relief seeing his Khushi safe and sound and listening her feelings are throwing gut reactions of his heart here.Yes her essence through curtains was reaching him just like her Duppata is always happy when he is near.He found out here the difference of her heart and mind level for him just like she did in couple of hours before.Today her feelings for him are causing havoc in him at this time as he can see she is feeling him too.It seems like he wants to show her how much he is having "turdup" [distress] because of her and he is getting there.That relief and joy is written on his face.

Her hiccups and "mehsoos" for him as his misty breeze makes her stop and look for him around and his relief that she knows I did not leave her alone ,I came for her clearly felt"mehsoos" from both sides.Her antics and denial made him angry though and at the top her disliking him is just a killer.Mr Akhroo "Akhir chatain kia hain aap" [What do u want] You are so complicated,first you leave her alone and don't want her to punish you like "chaki peesing in jail" Don't you love your innocent Temptalicious!...yes you do Yummilicious!...yes you do.😳

He left with anger but did put a smile on her face with this "ehsaas" feeling he came for me but again as she is mini version of him went back in anger mode too as "apne aap ko samjhte kia hain"[what the hell he thinks of himself]...

Pause here: The same way he came after her on day of "Pag Phera" when Khushi was in Mandir and he was looking for her maniacally and then got mad at her too for not picking up his phone.

Khushi,"hunsi tou phansi" [u got trapped as you smile]Khushi is happy as her Jiji is happy but no one knows her pain just like no one knows Arnav's pain.He is a caretaker of his family and she is hers and both hides their pains in their own style.One with anger and other with smile.

Khushi and her way of running out of her pains,sitting under stars under her parents safe roof to share with them her "Dukh Sukh" and seeking for guidance always touch my heart deeply..can't explain ...Shyam who is eager to know the whole story about her and RM."Paison ki kisse kami hai ,Rani Sahiba jo hain"[I don't care about money as Rani Sahiba is thee for me]Creep..he is but her telling him how ASR left her in the middle of road and his rage throws light on the other side of Shyam which unfortunately never came out [change in story plan by CVs] But one thing is so right"Humain sirf baatain bana nahin aata pakarna bhi aata hai"[I just don't make stories but catch em too] and it fits on you Chameleon as who knows more than you...Why are so relieved by hearing her rage against Arnav...[This delusion will keep him off Arshi's shoulder for a while until he will see the attraction.]

Pause here:Hum nain bhi kuch ghalatian ki hain bus unka hal dhoondtai rehtain hain"[ I made some mistakes and trying to find their solutions.] Seriously what?Solution or resolution to destroy everything to get what you want ...you Creep😡😡😡

FUMING PONDERING POINT😡😡😡 : Did not like a bit touching Khushi's breeze of essence on this creepy face.Wanna kill someone here.{never saw this before ppl I need a name here to squeeze a neck]

Action Plan by Khushi and Arnav Part 2

Khushi's pain was so visible while telling Shyam about ASR.She always says his complete name when she is angry with him.She knows by her heart he is not like that as She was expecting this the least from him just like he was expecting the least from her to think about him.He wanted her to have the taste of her own medicine that how does it feel if you leave someone like that in the middle as she left him behind closed door"Hamesha keh liye".He is not done but Khushi is not there yet as Arnav"uske liye Dimagh ki zaroorat hai"[She needs a brain to think]

QUEEN"S GOALS FOR TODAY:

REVENGE against KING[Arnav]: Goal #1

MARRIAGE lessons to La: Goal # 2

Queen revenge is so on as Happyji is with Khushiji.She is on mission today as if"eik sair hai tou dooja sawa sair" [Tit for tat]Khushi and her natkhat moves are aromatic like sweets like "Mishari" which is hard to bite but sweet as sugar like "khati meethi goli"[sour sugar coated candy]She put Mishari in Arnav's SUV"Humain Gari se utara tha"[you put me down from this car]Love hide and seek here but one thing is clear without seeing each other they know each others presence."Uss Laad Governor ko apka diya huwa persaud jo daina tha"[DM I have to give your blessings to LG] Khushi and her talk to DM always amazes me.😊

Arnav is upset but Akash is happy as Happiji is calling him for his Payalji.Akash's joy and happiness has no mileage here.Too cute like a child who is going to get his favorite candy everyday until his car is fixed.

His relief to see his Payalji and her concern for him were too cute.They both today felt each others' heart in a very delicate way.Like this side of blooming soft and shy love.😳

.Her name and her Khiyal is taking place in Knight's heart as he calls Khushi as Payalji.Love his stammering over here as someone got him on a wrong foot.

Other side Khushi wants La to get the idea of the significance of the Marriage through Ramayan and then Sindoor and then Radha Krishna's story.La irrites ,"tumhari har baat Shadi par khatum Kyon hoti hai"[Why everything of yours is related with marriage...

PONDERING POINT:Though Khushi herself has to learn that too as she is denying Sindoor's significance and her Arnavji's in her life under the banner of"eik chutki Sindoor" which dropped all over her like an ocean of Sindoor by Arnav.Anjali's hint got the target unintentionally and Khushi was about to dive in it when the ocean came right to her Jalaibi Bai.

Arnav wants to have BIG meeting at home and want "No garbar"[no disturbance]Khushi,"hum khuch ghalat nahin kar rahe eik ghalat insaan ko uski sahi jagha dikha rahe hain"[I am not doing anything wrong but to show a wrong person the difference between right and wrong] He throw me out of car,force me to leave the job and broke my phone too...Folks AS I am saying over and over time has been frozen for them."Hisaab Barabar karna hai dono nain"[They want to be equal at their terms] He sensed her "garbar" on his phone.
