Jodha Akbar 97-100:Snakes and ladders; Episode 104: Page 8 - Page 13

Mandy,

I am very pleased that you liked this nazm as much as I did. And this Jalal-Jodha clip is lovely.

But no, there were no more Aap yahan? Is waqt? after this, for it is from Episode 169, about which I wrote my Sunlight on a butterfly's wings post, one of the most lyrical I have done here. Here is the relevant excerpt from that post"

"The hidden longing was there again later, when, as they sat together in the garden, she looked across at him with shy eyes that sank at once when she caught his steady gaze.

It was there in her half smiles of pure pleasure when he treated her like a Dresden porcelain figurine, when he fetched the angeethi for her, when he put an end to her anxious looking around for him - kya wo vastav mein chale gaye? - by suddenly appearing behind her and wrapping her, with careful tenderness, in a velvet shawl.

She clearly felt as cossetted and cared for as if he had pulled her into a warm, protective embrace, and she blossomed as never before under such pampering. Which must have been all the sweeter after weeks spent in the marubhoomi, the harsh desert to which she had been consigned after he had turned away from her after the night of the The Shove, and she had had to watch, in escalating horror, as the threat to his life from Benazir came ever closer.

Weeks during which she realized that were he to die, life for her would be no longer worth living, and this no matter how he behaved with her. That her marriage vow Aapse hi hamara sowbhagya hai was now true in the spirit as much as in the letter".

mesmerizing shyamala! adbhut!..ek boond ishq pe zinda hun..kehti hai ishq duniya jisse meri jaaneman..iss ek lafz main hi chuppi kaayenaat hai...!..isn't that so true whether the love is for pritam or the almighty without love one is not alive and is equal to a robot!

feeling of love is something to feel and here is our jalal showing that pyaar ka ehsaas for his jodha and see the life in her eyes😳 (how i wish those expressions had persisted throughout the serial! but alas they changed into aap yahan iss waqt😆!)...courtesy unknown!

Absolutely, Akka. By that time, I had quit writing even in the Dhwani forum, but to satisfy Lavanya, I think, I wrote a 2 parter called The Atifa Code, here in this forum.

Shyamala,

I just (re)watched the 2 episodes of the climax scene of the 'Atifa track'. What a brilliant solo performance by Rajat! It is his Vishwaroopam !👏

Saraswathi.

No, Akka, I went to bed around 1 am last night, and woke up only at 7:30 am. But it was sweet of you to keep track of me!

I am glad to know that I share a birthday with an iconic figure like Subramania Bharati. I also share it with Vishwanathan Anand.

Dear Shyamala,

I just asked you "How long do you normally sleep at night Shyamala? You seem to have got up at 5.30 am today!"

I noticed that you posted your reply to my comments around 12.00 last night which is 5.30 a.m here.

And I saw your "likes" of Zanna's posts around 10.30 am and inferred that you must have seen them around 5.00 a.m IST . Hence my curiosity.

But after a second thought I decided to delete it.

I would have left the post as such, na?

(A concerned) Saraswathi Akka.

P.S. I forgot to mention that December 11th is the birthday of the great Poet Subramania Bharathi.

Akka.
