Kizh,

glad/ great your ponder on Khushi's mulling. I have said many a times how much, not just Khushi's but even asr's, their initial monologues and reminiscence not only added tremendous depth to the characters but rendered their love story a musical poetry. From rain hug, surely from guest house to Khushi's reentry to RM, about 30 episodes, half of the time was spent on their introspections on what this all meant to each of them.. Without Khushi's continuous convos with DM or the times of his solitude in his own domain...we would have never known/ shown/ felt the longing they felt for each other.. without all of which it almost would have looked foolish/ abrupt the feelings they harbored for each other..perhaps would have piqued how/ why did Khushi run to pour her anguish to this rakshas??!

There was a drastic decline esp in this dept of monologues post Holi, when the senior director was moved to another show. Coming from movies, which is a total director's medium, those days I attributed all of it to change in the directorial team... but then I realized how much channels, writers, even availability of many mundane things effect this every day tv medium...

Episode 353

Together Forever

What is happening now, never happened before
One who never wanted to marry, is getting married once more
In a scamper to keep his wife close and never let her go
Love can reduce one to anything, making feelings outpour

It's a bond that was long due, right from the first catch
Many tussles they were through, but always set was this match
When hate couldn't keep them apart, love won without a scratch
The old lady's plans had to fail, no matter how many she could hatch

All the rituals repeated, but in full family view
Remorse is depleted, hearts full of happiness true
The wedding of Arnav and Khushi is the biggest joy ever
A bond for one to cherish and be together forever

p.s. This too I had written sometime back for one of Vandana's events on fb. 😊

Episode 341

The episodes feel disjointed nowadays. When I sit to write it becomes harder to ignore. There are some moment when the music feels wonderful, or the dialogue makes you smile, or the smile makes you sigh. But more and more prominent are the loud obvious minutes that feel out of place in the IPK I love.

His sorry I have come to terms with, but thank you too? Atleast, for now she apologizes too. And all the sorrys and thank yous have a sweet reward.

I could feel ASR still in anticipation, daring to hope, but still waiting to see if it was about to come true. As she leaned to kiss him tenderly on the cheek. Not a hurried peck, but a lingering caress. You can see the smile start to spread on his face. One of pure dazed joy.

We and he can't be allowed to indulge in bliss for too long, buaji has called her titiliya. And the poised loving wife slips away and ASR delivers some weird eye brow rising dialogues about leaving his Khushi. As if that is even possible! And as if he would say such an unthinkable thing..

Love does make us sensitive. We react in extreme ways and sometimes the silliest things worry us or disturb us. And all you need is the man who shouts at you to engulf you in a reassuring hug. Place his hand on your head and gather you close. Who cares if buaji calls, let your eyes remain close and wish the moment lasts longer, and you get to be just this. A girl madly in love.

The bedroom sorry and thanks I can live with.. The door thanks was definitely extraneous. One of those scene where again it was all too trite, but the soft notes of rabba ve definitely mellifluous.

She says hamesha and he confirm smoothly in English. Always.. She makes a face and mutters about him not using hindi even for emotions of the heart.. It is toned down, but I didn't like. Ughh no analysing aabeheniya.. Go on.

Onto haldi morning. Chote has been sufficiently teased and everyone is on their way to surprise the Gupta family.

Khushi is in her shakuntala look, that I am quite enamored with. Worrying about her mehendi color. As if anyone looking at laad governor can doubt how much he loves her! Well, I mentioned this earlier, love does make you go a bit crazy. Perfectly possible to be jittery at the same moment as being elated.

ASR's quip earlier about leaving her hand and now NK saying he would take ASR's place, in fist viewing my heart sank.. I was dreading the twist that Khushi for some reason would have to marry NK and not ASR.

"scuse me"..He glides in with eyebrows arched and a mocking disbelieving half smile.. But did you catch that sparkle in his eyes? Now, when I watch, I think maybe it was Barun trying to add the extra layer to ASR.. Khushi today is taking his breath away.. And that first glimpse of his gorgeous wife is noted and appreciated even while continuing the delightful banter..

"Right, I saw. lakshminagar ke signal pe khare hoke tumhara wait kar ra hai.. Jao jake shadi kar lo"..

This is when I have climbed onto my bed and whistled a little .. That salman khan fan like roadside whistle with two fingers in my mouth.. who wants sweet nothing whispered when you can have him say such ASR sounding fabulous stuff.

Jealous ASR is my favourite form of ASR.. No wait.. I think my favourite is the angry asr.. Oh but what about when he says shhh most tenderly.. Err.. You get the gist.. you are my favourite pretty much every way.. Except don't smile too much, got it?

How homely.. He is offering to help even when they are apparently in one of their fights..

"Laal hai.. Naak.. Tumhari naak laal hai"

"Kyunki aap humse pyar nahi karte Arnavji.."

"Really, subah paper mein aaya tha?"

How come the repartee has that added heated air.. His look is all male.. The way he holds himself has a heady masculinity I felt.. Enjoying the play with the girl who is looking gorgeous.. Unknowingly she teases him more..

All that talk about wanting proof of love.. I ignore.. these two are the ones who spoke of vishwas.. of sach and jhooth not mattering in the slightest in the face of that trust.. But mute the sound of reason and just watch how his gaze lingers on her. How feminine she looks in his arms and heart is sure to burst in a riot of dhak dhaks..

- Anjali and shyam.. Her voice is getting irritating... that mawkish helpless tone.. It is consist.. And with her chote that ignore reality and pretend this is episode 10 tone..

- All throughout these episodes Shyam will have an omnious presence. See all know all. And the shatir ASR is apparently no match,

- Since when has asr started worrying about such things as rings?

- "Shadi ke baad toh ghunghat uthate hai na.. Toh nannav zehmet kyu uthayega.." NK was funny but I was too busy worrying they were going to force Khushi to marry him in some bizarre storyline. Cheez and that belly rub and dance.. Hai re nk.. And then did you notice how he stands with his hand on ASR trying to doge mami? Entirely irrelevant but thought I would mention it, he a funny sea green paijama under his white kurta.

Episode 340

Writing about an episode after so long.. fresh from the hopes of a new movie of Barun.. Am grinning like a complete idiot as I type random things.

First it starts with that forced upbeat music and I roll my eyes. The creators needed a reason to bring Shyam back. Now he is back we should quickly forget all the biting words, tears and sad times and start enjoying marriage banter it seems... oh I forgot a child was also murdered.. even before he was born.. nevermind let's enjoy some happy times.

Shyam's return was inevitable. every love story needs a villain you know, but it would be great if not Khushi but someone else would brought him.

or let me tell you a secret about the death of the baby, Anjali never wanted the baby, that's why she roamed around with flat stomach for almost seven month. with a baby bump how could she flaunt in a diaphanous saree!!! so the invisible baby's death also was inevitable.

And then something magical happened as it always does when Arnav Singh Raizada in his rolled up shirt sleeves paces in his room staring at his phone. I almost don't mind the fact that he calls her, she does not pick up. She does try being too cute, but then his shut up and cutting the call is just so refreshing and far from diplomatic that I decide to go along.

Mamiji wants to talk to buaji, but Khushi thinks its Arnavji. Really Khushi? Can you imagine ASR copying mami?!! Now why didn't I think of that scene in my fanfiction atleast!

it's possible for Khushi to think any thing. she is crazy. isn't she?

aww you loved that part. why don't you write another story then?

Anyway, a miraculously recovered di shuffles along to her chote. It hits again me how big his heart is. That holds no grudge. Di might have gone against his wishes, but he will still worry for her. Call her inside with respect and love. And though he is angry with Shyam he cares too much for di to take it out on her. In a way I felt good that Anjali atleast tried to make things right with him. Of course, for her to do so is easy since she did get her way.

Anjali wanted her surrounding to be filled with merriment. She lost so much in the span of her life, so she preferred to be in delusional world of happiness. maybe that is also a reason that she couldn't accept Shyma's deception so easily.

ASR's goal and intention was to make his beloved happy and he could compromise anything for that, especially when the matter is with Anjali. did you forget what he said o Khushi, that he can do anything for his di, even can marry a characterless girl like her. He actually was very nasty to Khushi, that's why he couldn't hold any grudge against her. This was his redemption you can say.

Then comes nani and talks about Khushi bitiya being 'achchi bahu'. There.. We have it.. Indi di's favourite achchi bahu running rampant on our screen. I can't really mind since am sarcastically chuckling at how apparent they have to make this transformation of sankadevi to kartavya parampara following ideal bahuriya.

You know I am a bit penchant towards Khushi. I love what she is achi bahu or sanka devi.

Matchwa phixing karke hi breathing lebe.. Or something similar mamiji says.. I had used this joke in my fanfiction and been so proud of it.. Now I realize my mind must have copied it.. Remind me not to judge 'inspired' serial-makers and copied movies harshly ever again. We all make such honest mistakes where we pass off things as original pieces.

Mami aap kya kar ri hai? For a minute he looked like that young hero from episodes close to one hundred.. Haye my arnav bitwa how good you were then.. And how good you are still..

Bitwa actually looked best during the remarriage track.

Mami tells him he needs to break a coconut on Khushi's head. Maybe then she will wake and forget being adarsh nari.. What fun would it be! NK and mami are a lethal pair and bitwa is a bit too distraught having fought with his would be wife, err contract wife, to realize the shatir dimag is being played with.

Look here, even if am most upbeat I can't ignore Khushi's wide smile as she greets di and others in Shantivan. Isn't she a bit sad that she fought with Arnavji?

Everyone gets to snicker and giggle at the expense of the once stern ASR, who is now fine with being the besotted groom. Thus, in my mind spelling IPK's impending doom. Which does throw me into gloom.. And I should stop rhyming silly words soon.👏

Coming up is haldi ceremony.. i should start gathering buckets of ice. And Shyam is suddenly in charge of decorations.. Daiyya ho.. No wonder it all looks so middil cilaas..😆😆 me with my snarky remarks...

no middil but poor cilaas.

Next scene is a bit too cute.. Specially with man smiling all starry eyed and girl completely unfazed and concerned more with her mehendi.

There are other things to worry about. If the poolside is visible from the living room then all the rabba veys must have been witnessed by HP, OP and devi maiyya only knows who else. Oh wait.. This magical poolside, that you can see from the living room, is the one that appears on diwali nights when broken hearted girls cry and guys with striking haircuts stare out of. So, its all fine. Moving along to NK's usefulness in an Indian wedding.

ASR Khsuhi love to do khullam khulla pyaar. they do nothing inside the room, but do all the pyaar openly. hayre nand kissore.

Nannav ko kisika wait karne ki adalat nai hai.. Hai re NK (phrase courtesy Durga di).. And please someone hold me.. Did NK call ASR stupid right there?

NK was too cute. Beside Arnav-Khushi I miss NK most. he could call Nannav mere bhai anything. Once he called him Ravan.

Anyway, so the good thing about this last scene is it somehow reminded me of the Payash havan night. That happier time when Khushi was teasing him about the bangles and Anjali and nani had started to guess their chote's dil ka haal?

I was watching the episode today. such a lovely track it was. I wish if they would've continued that track more. they brought the hate track too early. Though there were lot of aww moment in that track too.

Back to the episode where the elusive Aman call's Khushi about some deal that didn't go through. The girl suddenly gets very worried and rushes to man's room. He sits staring at his laptop, typing all sorts of important things. Yet he talks to her in that special tenure of voice that my heart cannot simply deny.

Hyuuk hyuuk, Rhea to gayi kam se.

Since this is about his work, Khushi is allowed to look worried and upset., but forget the deal it's simply a ruse to bring her to him. And then as she starts to leave he has to corner her against that door... Completely obliviously to what such a rugged gesture would do to anyone watching...

that makes him ASR, isn't it?

Hold your fluttering hearts steady because Arnav Singh Raizada is not done yet. First the perfect businessman advances upon you. Extends that the toned forearm to trap you close to him. Then in an open admission of love, states that you are in fact the biggest deal of his life. He loves to tease and flirt and play, but fundamental to all this is his feeling for you. How much he loves you. And how much you mean to him.

he is the best business man in the dealings of love.

She still wants a sorry for him. Didn't she cut his call too? How about a sorry from her? Anyway he decides to say sorry. With disarming honesty and sincerity. And I forget that I didn't want him to say sorry. He wants to apologize to the girl whose happiness makes him happy, then I will go right along with him. Who am I to question why, his love I will always stand by.

why you don't want him to say sorry? Once he was too nasty to her. watch the initial episodes again and refresh your mind; how he trampled her feelings on the night of diwali and so many times shattered her into pieces. remember the forced marriage and how he threw her out from his room on the wedding night. Khushi sacrificed too much in this relationship, so sorry to banta hai boss.
