hi avanti,

thanks for the corrections, 😆 i knew it was all over the place... a memory ringing and echoing.

yes, i am bangali and not at all well read... but bonolota sen and tagore and things as you know, part of our world, there somewhere always.

i have tried to read the many translations of bonolota sen as my bangla is not that strong, the traveller and his weariness... parched and she, like a drop of life giving water her dense perfect beauty... always touches. and the sensuousness of the very sound of each word, even when i don't understand, i feel their voluptuousness...

ipk is beautiful at many levels and its hold on me is mysterious really...it takes me to places i never thought i would visit.

i was thinking this afternoon, it's like a medium in itself.

look forward to seeing you.

Faiqa,

You were looking for the Immune system and got hooked on to a man who seemed to be immune to a girl's hug? Maybe that's why it was there in that list of videos in the first place. You had to come here and the Almighty lead you to this door. What a way to enter into this world! And so privileged are we that you did. 😳 I think I missed reading this part of your story earlier.

Thanks for an amazing thread...

The entry was on the cloud. Why won't it be on the cloud?

After all, Asr is trendsetter in the television history.

Can the entry one person attract and attach people with the soap forever?

Yes it do, many of us fell for him the moment we saw him.

His style, his attitude, his expressions... They kept us glued to TV sets before us.

Can't stop from watching his entry many times.

We watch, watch, watch, watch...

There was nothing to stop us from watching it.

Asli Duniya wasis can call us names but do we care?

Hi Everyone...

I have never been a part of this forum and have only been able to catch an occasional or two episodes in the 1.5 yrs when IPKKND was being aired (god knows how much I regret that). And knowingly I have never watched any soap in fear of getting addicted cos my work pressure didnt allow me that luxury.

However this year I am on sabbatical and was just surfing through youtube when suddenly I came across an article which stated the most controversial exits from soaps in Indian TV and barun Sobti topped the list with the whole fiasco being mentioned and I was at my wit's end as to how can it happen that a male lead's exit has resulted in the show being shut down.

hence began my journey of unraveling ARSHI.

I searched Youtube frantically for episodes but nowhere did i get the entire season. I went through all love scenes in 2 Days straight and by the time I ended it I was cursing SP for blocking some videos.I forgot everything and just kept on asking people where do I get the season (mind you I still didnt come across India forums then)...finally my best friend who's a guy helped me in downloading the entire season through torrent seeing my misery and he's the one who told me about India forums.

The two weeks there after I have watched each episode and read the analysis and all topics related to the episode on India forums...it was like I was reliving those 1.5 yrs with you all.

I started watching it when I was at an all time low in my career and believe me when I say it rejuvenated my zest for life...I not only fell in love with ARSHI but with each and every character be it as insignificant as Khushi's friend Preeto or her business partner Shukla Ji and ofcourse the omnipresent Aman.

And to top it all, after SRK, Barun Sobti is the only other Indian actor for whom I've gone crazy...I even saw his movie MAMR the first day of its release.

But when i sit to watch TV I cannot watch any other soap as interestingly as I watch even the repeatedly watched ARSHI scenes!

Let me tell you I am not a romantic...but passionate...yes. I might not be able to express my desires and longings and love for the person but I can bloody well give my life for that person.Being an avid reader I have had my share of MB romances and Judith McNaught novels but trust me when i say nothing prepared me for the enigma that is Arnav Singh Raizada. I dont know whether I fell in love with ASR because of barun orthe other way round but I think somewhere the line just fades. All my life from middle school everyone around me knew I was crazy (though some say its an understatement) about Shahrukh Khan and I never thought in my life I will be able to make my self love and worship someone else but IPKKND changed that too...its as if I have gone to school again but this time my teenage hormones are triggered by both SRK and barun/ASR!

Now coming to the first episode...am not sure how many of you have read the bengali poem "Banalata Sen" by Jibananda Das...the first episode of IPKKND or probably the entire love story reminds me of the poem. Banalata Sen of Natore, a tiny town in the Rajshahi area of what was then Bengal, has become an emblem of feminine mystery as well as beauty and love just like our Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada has become an emblem of unconditional love and beauty for the Indian TV.

In the first stanza the traveller describes seeing her after having wandered upon the earth over thousands of years. The narrator says that it has been a thousand years since he started trekking the earth. He describes it as a long journey in night's darkness from the Ceylonese waters to the Malayan seas. From this geographical expanse he goes on to the extent of time, saying that, in the course of his wanderings he has traversed the fading world of Bimbisara and Ashoka. He adds that he went further, to the forgotten city of Vidharbha. Finally he speaks of himself as now being a weary soul although the ocean of life around continues to foam and adds that in the meanwhile he had a few soothing moments with Natore's Banalata Sen. -------Reminds me of a man called Arnav Singh Raizada, a man who has travelled for fourteen years through the darkness of his parents death and treachory of his family; from the geographical expanse of Lucknow to Delhi to Boston (Harvard) and back to Delhi.Just when he or anyone around him never thought that he can go back to what he was, when even he himself refused to admit that deep down probably even he was weary of this constant facade of anger and indifference which was covering his pain and sorrow, he found his soothing moments with the weird yet mysterious woman Khushi Kumari Gupta.

To me the first episode was like an errupted volcano because of seismic shift...the shift? The middle class girl of Gomti Sadan travels to Sheesh Mahal, the palace of the riches...the clash of the ideals and beliefs of Khushi and the money of Arnav Singh Raizada.

Yes I have not been a part of the forum during the show's original run, yes i have not shared the passion and immense heartbreak when the show was shutting down, yes I have not even shared the Blast From The Past thread but damn me if I cant be a part of this joy of reliving each episode again.

I know probably I have written too long and I might not get response to this as well since am new but main aap sabko apna banake rahunga "humesha humesha ke liye!" ❤️
