Thanks ... I appreciate it.

Hummm where to start divya as I am complete anadi in this subject but with help of mr.google I am going to try and attempt how I feel about this eternal couple .u might find it scattered so be patience with me .

I loved your thoughts - and I also used Mr. Google so you are in good company

1)pahadi-ok this couple as whole ,when I think of it gives me this feeling in song
Do dil dhadak rahe hain aur avaz ek hain
Film-insaf
On day of their 1anniversary ,the entire day I felt
Do sitar on ka sameness par hai Milan Aja ki raat ( but ruuku's came in pic but that intensified all the feelings -so as u say she acted as reverse Cupid 😉)
Film-kohinoor

Yes, Pahadi has so many movie songs and you have chosen 2 apt ones ... and yes Ruq's is always a reverse cupid

2)bhimpalasi -in this rag I loved one song which explain soul talk and feeling of jalal perfectly when hakima told jodha has no reason to live on
Kismat septum ham ok mile ho
Film -pukar

Ah yes ... I love that song, and it is perfect for that soul talk when Jalal brings Jodha back

3)kamraaj -u have given beautiful song and I find that one perfect .

I love Khamaaj

4)yaman -I am still searching on this one 😕

Famous song is "chandan ka bhadan" from Saraswatichandra ... I love wikipedia too 😆

5)Desh- u have explain as couple how those two were perfect in every aspect as every day people and as king and queen but I also liked one song which explains jalal's feeling when he was in Amer to manofy his wife
Aaaji Ruth kar ab Karan jaiega
And jodha was seeing him every where 😳
Ufff

Yes, Desh is very versatile and that is why I love it

Now here comes bairav -I am going by what I felt for particular situation and mind set of jodha or jalal at that time .when jodha refused to come back and jalal came back to Agra ,at one point poor guy was loosing all hope ,for that situation at one point he literally felt
Mohe bhul Gaye sanvariya
Film -baiju bawara

Great choice ... and for an apt situation

I don't know if I am making any sense but I am still trying and thanks to u divya my hubby gave me look and asked me why u r listening to all these songs ,r u ok 😆.because it is his job and mine is to listen 😉

Loved all the picks and thoughts ... let your hubby know that we are a positive influence on you as well 😆 We don't send you to just count dolphins 😉

Exquisite, my dear Divya.

All through this labour of love (pun not intended!) , though I am not at all sure this Jalal can be compared to the Lord of Kailash, Raag Bhairav or no Raag Bhairav. And I do not think Parvati would ever have been like this ruthlessly dominating Jodha, Raag Bharavi or no Raag Bhairavi. (In Carnatic music, it all starts from the Todi raagam).

My all time favourite raaga is Sindhu Bhairavi, and I do not think we are going to see this Jodha-Jalal fitting in with the playful, demanding abandon of Yaahi Madhava, yaahi Kesava. I am always amused when she is compared to the meltingly passionate Radha, who later became Krishna's flute. A more inappropriate comparison could hardly be imagined.

This jodi, and Jodha in particular, is in love because we are told that it is so. I was amused to see you waxing eloquent over Jalal-Jodha's electric hand holding and eye locks. To my mind, the electricity is mostly in your mind.Last night, as Jalal finished massacring the second line of the Karmanyevadhikaaraste sloka - his pronounciation and the anvaya, the way the words are split up while reciting them, were both appalling- and Jodha leaned over a roughly 2 foot gap to put her head on his shoulder, it looked as if they had been married for about 40 years. Mira Nair's "old shoe love" would have been a perfect fit!

You are clearly enjoying yourself, my pet, and the products of your creativity are so charming that neither these characters nor this serial are worthy of them. The prevailing mood of Jodha Akbar, for me at least, is extreme irritation; the best scene of the last week was the one between Mahaam and Javeda in the jail, and that says it all!

But I am sure you are already looking out for musical signatures for Salim and Anarkali, who, I am told by Mandy,are practically waiting in the wings!😉

Finally updated all parts! I look forward to your thoughts ... And please do not feel you have to respond with music / songs ... It is more about the moods of Jodha Akbar than anything else.

Brilliant, brilliant brilliant Divi...👏

I'm only a lover of music...and your last post was easier for me to understand, but this one you've explained beautifully...and now let me get back to your take and see if I can put some of my own thoughts.😳
