Dear All,

Welcome to the 101st edition of Reflections from The Director's Cut... when we started Director's Cut, we didn't know how, or most importantly, IF we will continue this day after day, everyday ! But the love and support of you all made us believe more in DC and you guys made DC what DC is today ! When the show went awry ... many left the show, many left writing.. but DC stood tall and till the end.. and it was all because of you all.

When Star decided to rerun IPK for international audience around the time of first anniversary of the original DC, there couldn't have been a better present. We launched Reflections.. since we know the story and we could ponder over it now.. No guessing games anymore ! We weren't sure if we wanted to continue it as a daily thread once again, cos it does take a lot of time.. and time (especially for me recently) has been a very difficult commodity.


But thanks to Poona and Arshi who took it upon them to write for DCR regularly.. DCR is alive and kicking. Lately, there's been some excellent discussions going on, on DCR.. and as much as I would have loved to, I was just not able to take time out to be a part of them.. But my partner in crime, Ruby, has kept the discussions going and I thank her for doing it single-handedly - in this partnership.


So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all.. not just the writers, but also the readers (both silent ones and vocal ones).. for making DCR what it is.

Coming back to IPK 101..

Yesterday we saw an iconic episode. The first time Khushi hugged him.. needed him, his shoulder to cry on. A self-made, independent girl like Khushi.. wondered herself, why she acted the way she did... why did she feel so week that she needed HIS strength to support her. The realization that he did not even say a word to comfort her, let alone hug her back.. why did it hurt so much? Wasn't he always like this?

At the same time Arnav kept wondering why he couldn't hug her back.. why did he just keep staring at her crying? Why her tears bothered him so much? Who is this girl? Why is she tormenting him day and night by coming to his thoughts every second of the day ! And why couldn't he be there to support her when she most needed it.. All she needed was to hear from him.. All will be fine.. But he couldn't gather up courage enough to say those words to her. Why.. Arnav Singh Raizada, couldn't even console a broken girl !

As if the guilt of not being able to comfort her with words was, the faux pas by his accountant was too much for Arnav to bear.. He couldn't stand anymore watching the helplessness in her eyes, so he went on to get another check for her, but she had misunderstood him and already left.

They say Actions Speak Louder Than Words.. What he couldn't say to her in words, he communicated it be his actions. The hospital bill was paid fully, she need not worry about it anymore. But more importantly, today's episode was the most significant episode of IPK..



A young man, when he keeps his hand on a young woman's head.. signifies a symbol of protection. He is not her father or her brother who should protect her, but from now on, he is her protector, her guide in life, her mentor.



For today, Arnav Singh Raizada took Khushi Kumari Gupta under his wing. To have and to hold, to nurture and to protect.. From this day onwards, she was his.



It doesn't matter if he is unable to form the right words to console her.. it is his actions that comforts her... And this is the reason Khushi finally realized, why she needed his ... only his shoulder to cry on. Because he is the Rajkumar, not the shaitaan !




And so he shall... always.. hamesha..


Meanwhile, in the Garden of Eden.. the Snake is slowly trying to persuade Eve to bite the apple.. Eve has declined the first offer... but, he will try again with his sweet tongue. Will he succeed? Only time will tell !


Continuing from Original DC, I couldn't help but post this pic.. Presenting to you all,

Image of the Day

Our very own Pinku 'wooden' Raizada ! Love his 'ahem' expressions..


Here's the link to today's episode:

Enjoy !

Thanks for the special edition iritz. Loved the new banner.. very apt..heralding the magical moments to arrive... that changed the course of this epic love saga!
Loved every bit of what you said. Truly actions speak louder than words.. he has always been a man of few words.. and HIS Khushi understands that!!
Edited:

Thanks Ruby and Iritz for taking the plunge and reopening the reflections, and to the two amazing writers who adorn this thread now every day.

Arshihamesha, I have had the pleasure of reading her for many months now. Her insightful writings, shedding light on the fine details which make this ride of watching and reading a totally wholesome experience, are always a treat. Discussions with her are always thoroughly enjoyable and even enlightening bringing in many aspects.

Ipoona, what do I say about her... this forum has always been home to many quality writers ... And she is another precious jewel in the crown... Her unique style replete with romance and passion for the characters leaves one spellbound! At the cost of sounding like a superfluous sycophant, I am glad to have found this place so that I can read her!!

Ruby, thanks for your time to time amazingly comprehensive analyses, encompassing everything from the hay days to the hay wire days... Putting everything into perspective... One rarely comes across.. Thank you much!!

Thank you all!!

Episode 101

Tu hi bata mere Maula Special

Luck "Taqdeer", Destiny which always plays a role in our life though some of us believe in writing by ourselves .As a human being you can't connect the dots looking forward ,you can only connect them looking backwards so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future and for that you have to trust in something like destiny.This destiny connecting all the dots for Arnav and Khushi to bring them together regardless of the Slouchy moves of those who are trying to connect the wrong dots.

All the dots of the above Sufiana Kalam[Qawali] is indicating the destiny which is playing a prerequisite role here in the union of these two selfless souls whose painful hearts only find solace no where else but in each others regardless of their own differences or the differences created by others.


Shyam is playing with a heart whose voice can be heard by any invisible force of divinity in this world but the forces around him who are hell bound to force a relationship on a pure soul[Khushi] thrown by the forceful Scorpion's sting.He is taking blessings by hurting a helpless guy . Such a poltroon ---😡

Buaji and Garima is fixing Khushi and Shyam's marriage and Scorpy's stingy smile is killing one heart who is totally helpless in front of this force but totally unaware of the smile of destiny which is going to abate this evil force once and for all.

Destiny is playing another play with two hearts on the corner .Akash wants to be with Payal in her distress but can't because of the created circumstances .He calls her to find out about her dad and the family but Payal tells her the difference of status they have and because of that they shouldn't be talking to each other


Arnav comes to hospital to rectify his mistake as he couldn't hug her back or console her but as he is man of action not words ,he is here to pay all the bills for her and wanted to leave without being in the picture but again Destiny is playing his role she finds out and she did not like it as she did not forget his words "tum jaisi aukad ki larki paisoon keh liyeh khuch bhi kar sakti hai"[a gal like you can do anything for money]She does not want him to think she hugged him because she wanted money as he thinks of her not more than a "gold digger".She is standing in front of him with her self respect "Hum apne Babuji ka ilag khud karwa sakte hain---hum par koi ehsaan mat kijye-hum she nahin payengey[I can take care of my father's treatment-----don't do any favor as I can't tolerate it]

He is perplexed too ,"I know you can take care of everything and I felt my accountant shouldn't cut the TDS."


Khushi with her contrariant and unmixable shaky emotions realizes what is she saying as he is here to help her but nothing .She walks away and he sees her with his uncertain emotions but he sure knows her shaky and tempestuous state and he can't leave her like that .He comes close to her while she is pouring her pain out by crying bitterly which is unbearable for him .Again subconsciously she relies on him ,depends on her pillar of strength and tells him she can't lose her father again ,she can't go through with the same pain again and starts sobbing by covering her face .He hesitantly and slowly picks his hand and puts on her head to assure her "he is always be there for her no matter what." She looks at him and his hand receives his unsaid words as she knows he will be.

Symbolism and connection:when Arnav was walking in the hallway 303,304,305,306 numbers of room add em up and it is 30 which refers to balanced divine forces ,existence of God . Connection is clear as All the divine forces are working to bring em closer.

3 chairs as three is the # of success and a masculine #.

PONDERING Connected Dots:[she witnessed it since guesthouse till Nainital ,he always saved her no matter what and later during kidnapping she made him aware of that too when he asks her to remove her hand from bushes and she refused while saving him]

They both steal glances of each other and then walk away in different direction with the Sufiana Kalam [Qawali] in the BG and every note is indicating their state of Divine Love which is strange but bonded together by FATE and every element of this earth is joining hands together to bring em together.


The dots of the Sufiana Kalam[Qawali] are sending notes to connect these dots for them or in other words praying and playing with destiny to bring them an inch closer each time.


Khushi told her Jiji why don't we search for boys who are brothers then we will be together and a thunderbolt connected those dots as her wish along with Anjali's wish got accepted and which was written by Fate already, but at the same time Akash and Payal's destiny was written too .Indeed these two selfless souls who can go any length for their family then how the destiny make em disappointed by not taking care of them. That time ASR was playing odd games to keep her away but was he successful.His odd games entangled him in her red saree and then drenched him in the rain hug for her safety . Destiny proved stronger than ever.

THEY BONDED BY AIR[from Lakhnow to Delhi until now where they feel each other]

PONDERING CONNECTING DOTS: The thunderbolt one time more will give her sign when she will acknowledge Arnav as her Rajkumar and the reason of her Dhak Dhak.

Episode 101

Aap aisa kuon kar rahay hai ...

There are very few moments in life when one gets a chance for a do over ... A rewriting of a moment ...

One such moment is before him ...

She is again sitting, at the edge of a hospital chair ... Her long legs again, bent, holding her slumped frame over ... Her face is in her palms, her shoulders racking with uncontrollable sobs ...

He had gone to the hospital himself, and had not just instructed Aman to take care of her hospital bill. She had rebuked him ... She does not want any ehasan from him ... She had distanced her self ... Hum aap kay pariwar ka hissa nahin hai ... Hum aapkay yahen sirf kaam kartay hai ... You don't owe me anything ... Hum khud sambhal laygay ...

He believes in her, she could have done it, taken care of her Babuji ... He had just felt she had some trouble paying the bill so he had taken care of it ...

She looks at him guiltily ... Yesterday ... She attempts to mumble an explanation for her actions ... A mere aberration ... She had flown to him ... Had clung to him ... He shouldn't read too much into it ... His briefly warns her with his eyes ... Do not do this ... as she tries to robs him of his memory ... tries to minimizing the moment of its power ... It was merely a momentary weakness, nothing more ... It not like she was asking him for anything ...

She had been incoherent ... Swaying between her inherent pride and desperate need ... Finally stumbling away in a confused gratitude ...

He sits next to her, one chair over, listening to her ...

Once again she tells him of her pain ... Her debilitating inability ... her paralyzing fear that she will again have to deal with the loss of her Babuji ... She does not have the strength to cope with such grief all over again ... She continues to sob into her hands ...

He had angrily berated himself yesterday for his inability to hold her, fumed at his inherent impairment ... Words ... Why do they fail him??? Why couldn't he say something soothing ... Something hopeful ... He had anguished over his failure to give her a sahara ... When she needed it most ... A simple hope ... Sab theek hoga ...

But now, it is not that his words fail him, it is his heart that speaks ... Loud and clear ... Mutely, openly, plainly ... A man who has so much trouble with words, answers her question in one small gesture what a thousand words could not have ... Aap asa kuon kar rahay hai ...

Why he had done what he had ... He lifts his hand and places it lightly on her head ...

You are mine ... My own ... My responsibility ... Your tears are mine ... your heartache is mine ... Kuon ki mujeh farak padta hai ... I will protect you ... I will carry you ... I will care for you ... Don't worry ... Sab theek ho jayga ...

She lifts her face from her hands to stare at him, taken aback by the implied strength of his promise ... A man who does not believes in symbols had symbolically brought her under his protection ...

Hand on head ... A prerogative of a elder ... The charge of a husband ... The promise of a lover ...

Their steps maybe taking them further away from each other, but they are now bound by his unspoken promise ... Their hearts are tied ... Their eyes know that and will not let them part ...

Payal and Aakash ... The ones who have no takrar, only mohobbat in their hearts, are separated by a wide divide of aukat, Hasiat, and one Mamiji ... Payal, gently but firmly reiterates that it is best if Aakash stop calling her ... Humara aur aapki duniya mein bahut Farka hai ... Aap amir hai and hum garib ...

At home, her Buaji and Amma are scaring her ... talking in broad generalizations ... Not coming to the point ... Finally Buaji utters the word ... Shaddi ... She is clueless ... Jiji ki Saadi ??? Her heart sinks at Buaji next words ... Nahin Parameshwari, Thumhri aur Shayam babua ki shaadi ...

Humsay yeh nahi hoga ... She grabs the bull by its horns and tackles the situation head on ... If she can explain to Shaymji, that she really can't do it ... then she will have nipped this whole thing in the bud and all will be well again ... But little does she know the ways of the forked tongue commiserating before her ...

Ritz,
Lovely post and equally lovely banner to hereld the new century and the start of our bumper week of romance culminating in that epic scene ...😛 Love your image of the day ... It was indeed a really lovely shot of our lonesome shy boy ... Much as I love their romance too ... I wish it had a little bit of oomph ... But can't have two completing love stories ... A backdrop was needed and they were a perfect foil to our sizzling couple ...

As far keeping DC alive and kicking ... I dunno ...😛 But it has truly been a pleasure, an honor ... to write on a platform I read and admired immensely the first time around ... Thank you for inviting us to be part of this journey ...
