uff what a word, is it Ami who invented this word? My big thumbs up to her. The word itself is crazy and eccentric like us; I mean like our crazy love for IPK.
It was an amazing two years journey with you guys. I am lucky to meet some incredible people through this thread. You blasters are not only immensely talented, but all are great human being. And I learned a lot form you. Thank you so much.
Apart from the age, we all are same in one common ground and that is our unconditional and colossal love and attachment for IPK. IPK indeed tied us together by an invisible thread. Though we never met personally, but you all are my best friends and soul sisters.
When IPK ended I was literally devastated. There was something akin to mind numbing distraught. It may sound weird that how a TV show can affect someone's life so much. But it did. IPK became the part and parcel of my life and I just could not imagine my life without it. IF became my first home as I was not content enough just by a 20 minutes daily episode. My heart was always ravenous for IPK.
Sometimes it bewilders me, why my love for just a TV show is so intense! Who are Arnav and Khushi, just two fictional characters! How can they impact some ones life so deeply! No one will understand except those who didn't see the magical chemistry of two most gorgeous actors of Indian TV. No one will understand who didn't watch IPK like the way we did. Arnav and Khushi has been residing in my heart since the day ASR landed from his helicopter on the yard of sheeshmahal and the colorful vibrant Khushi riding a scooty in a lehenga. I just couldn't breathe without that sexy man's calibrated anger, the zany girl's nonstop prattle, gaudy mami's hello hi bye bye, even laxmi's gibberish maaayyy.
IPK indeed was a fantabulous show what encompasses my heart and mind still after two years of it's closure.
My heart gave somersault when Arnav said "I love you damn it" or even "oh really."
or even when he took a sudden step towards her in a prowling manner and she stepped back involuntarily.
And each time the air get rife with cheerful chirping of Robin, when rabba ve ascends
How can I forget the almost kiss between a handsome man in three piece and Barbie doll in red saree!
I wonder why my heart cringes to see his adam's apple bulbs, why I feel a pang in my heart to see the droplet of anguish races through her eyes!
Because the abyss of my love for IPK and Arnav and Khushi is impennatrable.
Who would've known that jalebi would become my favorite sweet and "what the" would be my favorite word and rabba ve would be my anthem!
Who would've known I would even love a girl in chamkili out dated suit and could love a man who is sometimes abusive to a woman!
Who would've known not the white American good looking guys but I literally fell in love with a desi panjabi munda with molten caramel orbs.
Who would've known when Arnav and Khushi come together in a single frame, my own heart also picked up it rhythm matching Khushi's erratic one.
Who would've known a very pragmatic girl like me would believe in telepathy and mehsoos, the gust of wind can blow to herald the arrival of his lover!
Who would've known that I would never love another jodi beside Barun and sanaya and it can be torturous for me to see either of them with other actors. And now the pain comes in an augmented intensity when I think they perhaps will not be shown together again.
Though I was mentally prepared when the rumor of Barun's quitting was on the air. But still there was a little ray of hope in my heart that somehow I thought the immense fan power would retain Barun. I'm amongst them who increased my dad's phone bill by calling India incessantly. Wasting my valuable time to email them, just to retain barun or end the show. I can't say how many hours I spent in IF just for IPK. So any one can now imagine my feelings at the show's closure.
But alas, 30th November it ended, as if my world had tumbled to the ground
Now how can I see my Hotwa's lopsided smile, how can I hear his sexy husky voice, How can I see Khushi's clear, luminescent guileless hazel eyes what used to twinkle both in merriment or trepidation.
How can I see my ASR stroking his beautiful Khushi's stray tendril of hair on her forehead!
I used to roam around in IF like a haunted soul wishing if it was a nightmare that IPK actually didn't end. Some of my friends planned to rewatch. I also joined them. But the hollow sensation was still there. I was not just content of just watching. My heart craved more. I need to discuss and I also should give my opinion, cause it is about IPK, It is about Arnav and Khsuhi and my ultimate love, Barun-Sanaya. As it was about IPK, the entire horde of emotions consumed me.
Then one fine day out of curiosity I peeped in blast thread. OMG, this was the place I was looking for!. The wound was still raw that time and BFTP worked like a soothing salve for me. It was mid of December I guess and I started watching from 14/15th episode. First I used to give my precise reviews. That time Indi welcomed me warmly. And later I met ArshiHamesha, Barundewani, Cynthia, Supriya, Katelyn, Wiwy Chalhov and Durga. I started to read your analysis and I was amused by everyone's brilliant writing and mind blowing edits. Indi's writing literally made me spell bound, Faiqa's unique insightful analysis gripped me. Ami's drool corner enthralled me. Cynthia's simple yet powerful writing captivated me. Chalhov's parody with collage was just fun. Katelyn and Supriya's breath taking edits were just treats for an eye. Anita's marathon, Durga's poem and Horizon's thoughtful takes always is amazing. And how can I forget my naughty Sauten Wiwy's riddle! Uff woh bhi kya din tha. Actually hanging around with you guys healed my wound in some extent. Then joined Saloni, who became a great editor eventually. And later Arwen, Javeria, Mehereen, Kizh and recently Bhavi and cincinera.
And Rhea you are a fantbulous writer and I mean it. It is always fun to be with you.
Please forgive me if I forget any one's name.
I've seen you guys, how you all grew from every aspect, as writer, aseditor. So many of you had mastered in making gifs and vms and most of them turned ff writers as well. I also grew as a writer, though I don't consider myself as a writer, I'm just a novice and started learning from you all. May be like you I will also write FF someday, obviously about Arshi. I never read FF before I joined IF. I even can't count now how many Arshi ff so far I read.
Thank you the original creator of blast doctor and Risha and obviously now Indi di , Durga, Supriya, Faiqa di and Katelyn, who still are doing a fab job to make the blast alive. For you guys I can relive my Arnav and Khushi and can love them even more.
My heartfelt congratulations to all of you. though we all can't spend that much of time in the thread nowadays, but there is always an urge to come here.
I hope our love for IPK and Arnav-Khsuhi never end and our hearts sing rabba ve forever.
May be some day sooner or later IPK-2 will happen, I want to be optimistic, because I believe serendipity is destiny's best friend.
Love you all.
