I remember that day when this thread flashed on the forum and there was a million watt light.. an idea that brought much love and respite to many fans struggling to cope with that aftermath!! But I wouldn't be able join the symphony just yet as I was yet to accept it as the "past"! Those were the days when everything was ultra touchy... anything vaguely/ remotely connected to IPK would be hurtful...my TV would be on with some irrelevant pictures passing by .. all of a sudden a song would start that would bring in a barrage of tears ... no clue where they were coming from as I was barely watching.. after a while realize it's a song used on the music player by Zoha few weeks ago then for the most emotional post I would ever come across with all of ASR's belongings from that room.. "sau dard hain.. sau rahate.. ek tu hi nahin"... thousand kinds of pain .. thousand kinds of solace... but just you are NOT there...ASR.. the iconic man .. Barun.. the master artist who would bring that man to life.. I was not ready to discuss it just yet...

But I would check this thread frequently... Then a deep convo between Indi and Barundiwani around the Janmashtami episodes would pull me in... it was a divine intervention again as I started watching the show also from the Janmashtami epis ... both unbreakable bonds... There was so much fun, frolicking, amidst the deep discussions.. first riddle I saw of Wiwy the payal one, I felt like a stupid not getting it.. it sounded so simple yet so profound.. I still miss those riddle times... I enjoyed all the beautiful write ups...all the jalebi like discussions around them... all the stunning edits, songs, I found the pleasure and beauty of my IPK again...Then I realize what a pagalpan was it to run away from this wonderful/ mad place... As the best way to deal with pain is perhaps not running away from it but to rekindle the love and reignite the passion.. becos after all pyar sabse bada hotha hai...the love between Arnav and Khushi that flowed in these threads... between the blasters... truly a marham.. a soothing balm for a hurt fan...it is perhaps ridiculous how terms like hurt and pain pop up so often for a show... but when did it feel unreal where there seem to be a conspiracy to bring the best in the Industry together to concoct this magical potion for one to savor for long!!

How do I thank all the wonderful souls here for recreating the magic of this epic love saga every day for us?

Big thanks to Doctor and Risha for the conception.

Thank you Indi, Durga, Supriya, Katelyn for anchoring, managing these threads all along...

Arshi, BD, Cynthia, Wiwy, Sohara, Anita, Chalhov, AD, Viv, Issk, Sigrid, Sabrina, preety (apologies if I missed anyone) thank you all the writers, commentators, silent readers... everyone who visits this place and makes it all the more endearing.

This wonderful place is energizing.. enthralling... and entertaining! At 200.. still going strong and steady..

Big toast to the blast from the past!

A few most captivating moments up until Holi in this journey...

RABBA VE... ALL THE WAY!

Congratulations on turning one, BFTP ! What a fabulous job, dear Blasters 👏 Indi, you asked for a story and here it is :)

I was one of those who weren't exactly heartbroken when IPK ended, in a way I felt that was the best thing to happen because I'd rather not have IPK than an IPK without ASR or Barun as ASR, same goes with Sanaya too. Oh, I miss it like hell, miss all the excitement of switching on the TV exactly at 8PM (I'd promptly shut it off at 8.30 PM sharp !), miss ASR and Khushi, Barun and Sanaya and everybody in the show. The period when I followed IPK was like living in a magical world, where no matter what was going on real life, it was so easy to switch over to the world of IPK and forget everything else.

Since IPK ended, like everyone else, I kept watching episodes and scenes again and again and again, there was the Crooner CC to keep in touch with the group. I hardly visited the main forum until one day, just like that I came across this thread and boy, was I hooked ! The thread had progressed to almost 100 episodes and I began watching from 1 all over again, I would watch it, go back, read all the takes and move on to the next episode. It felt like a day hadn't passed since IPK ended, in fact, it felt like IPK never ended.

Haven't been following the thread too often, of late, what with AD running faster than I could ever run but whenever I watch an episode, I make it a point to come over to BFTP and read the analysis and takes.

So, here's wishing BFTP happy birthday and I hope you are back to 1 after 398 !!
