The mind vs the Heart! - Thread - I need You! (Day 17); pg 28 - Page 12

Hey cutie..No analysis from you today so i will get us started on a discussion.

Ohhh..It was all heart today. Manik Maltorta was all heart as the green-eyed monster consumed him. I told Manik to let it burn a little. Manik let it burn a lot. I absolutely loved how his heart immediately regrets the decision his mind took of pulling the water prank. He sees his girl suffering..getting exhausted and he regrets it. And he helplessly stands there when Pandit plays no heed. Oh baby. Next time, don't let the mind do the thinking...lol. you do the opposite of what you say anyway.

Which brings me to the second fall of the day.lol. Nandini always gives her guy a chance to redeem himself. But before the fall, can i just mention how adorable I found Nandini when she honestly tells Manik she faked the fall so he could be the one to catch her. Her inability to lie is one of her most endearing qualities, when she stays true to her character, I love it. And Manik's mind so confidently claims that he wouldn't bother saving her, rather he will enjoy it. Oh Manik, i legit laughed at you at that point, your girl was still polite, she just slyly smiled. But as Cabir always says, Manik does opposite of what he says when it comes to Nandini, of course he runs to catch her ! That's what i meant when i said she gives her guy to redeem himself. So what if he didn't catch her once, she gives him another chance to fulfill his promise: I will always catch you when you fall.

And her hope wins again. That little tip toe moment to whisper that bit: Utter Cuteness Nandini Murthy was. And Manik believes it too cause he tells her: "don't try to act cute with me"..He means she is already so damn cute to him, she doesn't even have to try. lol. Nandini's continuous efforts is really making a difference, she seems to be clipping at his armour bit by bit. That's why he smiles a small smile after Nandini proudly announces that her hope won. And i keep saying it..no one believes me...There is no hope and hatred battle. Manik does not hate his shining star. So Hope wins. her hope, his hope..it's all one. Even for Manik because he says it in the precap: There is hope..of course there is ,boy.

My beautiful moment was actually Manik's smile in response to Nandini's point 1 for hope. He smiles that small smile like he agrees with her..like he is rooting for her hope to win all the way. And plus he has a beautiful smile..i am glad Nandini is finding ways to bring it back.

Contrast that to him strumming his guitar to vent out his frustration about Pandit and nandu's catching moment and he claims music is reason for smiling. No Manik,music is your way of coping, it helps you get through a mood, it may make you smile too but it's not the reason for your smile. I already told your reason for smiling but you don't believe moi.

Pandit. I like this man. He is no-nonsense type of man, he sees through Nandu's fake fall. And best of all, he wants Nandini's music to flourish, doesn't want her goofing off. And he is giving Manik some real green-eyed moments..lol. My poor Manik.

I told you there was hope for Mutki. Abhi has really been a positive change in her life. Thou I am saddened that she loves a man who is on his deathbed, he taught her so much about life itself. Abhi is a smart man anyway...he is telling Nandini to stop wasting time playing games..life doesn't last forever, we waste too much not being with our loved ones..we lose them any moment. We should appreciate what a gift life is and be with the people we love. Let us hope Manan learn something for these two.

Oh I cannot not talk about my Cabs..Oh my heart broke for my boy today. This guy has a heart of gold..he is always, always and i mean always there for his friends but no one remembers his first day of work. He has every right to be upset and disappointed. I was sad for him.

Holi Promo...EEEPPSSS...Such sexiness. Dude, check out the cheek rubbing . Nandu doesn't like holi and it's our boy's favourite festival and he likes to play dirty. Oh..this gotta be fun. For sure. I don't know who will get drunk but i am kinda rooting for Nandu because she will shed all her inhibitions..she might even talk about the Soha death issue, why she had a moment of err and since Manik will be taking care of her, he is bound to be softened and more open to listening.

And look..Dhruv and Alya solving their problems physically..again *facepalm* and my Cabs sees.

Okies..i think i am done..let me tell you it was so hard gathering my thoughts not having your analysis there to guide me through.

Toodles babe..see you when i see you :)

This proves that we pick up different points of discussion..lol

You discussed Navya and Cabs relationship and i missed it altogether. So let's pick up from there. We have spoken about the similarities of the hardships Cavya have faced in their short life and they have matured far too soon. And Navya's mother abandoning her child in the time of need will further cement their relationship. Cabs believes that he placed that call because he hates babies..he doesn't want to be the one to care for Navya but in reality, he cares for her very much and doesn't want her to go through the same life of living like a orphan despite having a mother. Their friendship will really blossom and somewhere i feel like he will get the affection and attention he is not getting from his friends nowadays..like i said my heart broke for my Cabs today when no one remembered his first day of work..Navya will be that friend who will bring him yogurt for good luck. I predict good times with these two..hilarious good times..lol

The return of Manik's smile was my beautiful moment for today..and how I wished the same..i wish Nandini could have seen the fruit of her labours..She is truly working hard to bring back that smile..her cute antics were adorable, Manik thinks so too..but he just won't say it cause he is consumed with the green-eyed monster. How dare the Pandit do this job ? How dare he catch his girl ? Put his hands where only Manik's arms belong ? Oh our Manik was so frustrated today. He tries so hard that his heart doesn't give a damn but he just can't 'live without her' ! Great work with breaking down Manik's inner turmoil for today. The poor lad had a hard day. Between Nandu and Pandit, he might as well lose his mind..haha.

Nandu really was a star today...loved the line where you mentioned that her mind and heart work together to defeat Manik's mind and forever win his heart..lovely thought.

You know next time i will just wait patiently for your analysis cause firstly it's written beautifully and it really just gathers my thoughts and helps me shape a somewhat coherent response...I bolded all the lines i especially loved.

I liked the pink part a lot.. yes that is nandini.. Isnt it nice to see how maanik can openly ask her why she was with panditji.. Jealousy is outright there to see ... And she telling him it was for him to catch her.. For him to realize her fake fall in hope of him catching her.. They truly have unique relationship... Now only if Maanik can let go of that fake hate he is so hell bent on embracing.. But surely not for long.. esp the way things seem to be favoring Nandu's Hope

👏 for the pink.. Music is just *bahanaa* its nandini thats going to bring that smile and the proof lies infront of our eyes.. All he has to do is accept it ..

Nandini's honesty is beautiful..yes she has lied a few times, for Manik to other people such as her Chachi but she stays true to the fact that she doesn't like lying and she rarely ever even tries to lie to Manik, from the start of their relationship. Plus Manik knows her so well that he would see through her lie anyway. But yes, i agree..it was wonderful to see them being so direct and open with each other..they may not be in a relationship at the moment but Manik totally pulls possessive, boyfriend moment and outrights asks what she was doing with the Pandit ? He was mad at her..it was just the green eyed monster engulfing him..lol. And Nandu responds in kind, like a honest grilfriend, I faked the fall for you..for you to catch me and the heart is all smiles..the green eyed monster leaves.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Well here i am..

I would like to start with Fab 5. Let me start with how heartwarming it was to see Fab 4 supporting Cabs...like Cabs i was really disappointed with them yesterday but the surprise was beautiful, brought a smile to my face. Seeing all of them huddled together, leaving aside their own issues ( especially Alya/Dhruv, brownie points for Miss.Mini Dress that she still pulled Dhruv into a huddle despite his insensitive reluctance) for their best friend. Today, Fab were there as one and it shows at the end of the day, they are all one family. I loved how you described their relationship, fulfilling multiple roles for each other as they grew up together.

Yes, Somewhere along the way their relationship has changed, secrets exist now but i feel like a relationship that remains stagnant is not healthy either..a relationship needs it's ups and downs. Same goes for their relationship, sooth sailing will take away from their relationship. I like my Fab 5 like this, together as a family when needed but also going beyond their group to find other significant relationships of love and friendship.

Let's move onto Mukbhi and how their situation is giving much needed wisdom to Manan. Somehow i feel nothing but sympathy and sadness for Mukti today even when she reacted negatively to Nandini's aid. A part of her was relieved that she didn't have to do the hard job of coming clean to her friends..and she needs support and love at a difficult time..her friends will provide that. So despite her angry reaction, deep down she is thankful to Nandu. And she appreictes it too because Manik shows up at the hospital, she welcomes his strength as he gives her a hug. Found their scene to be quite beautiful.

Contrast that to Abhi's convo with his baby doll. You are absolutely right. Abhi is her elder brother, a mentor, a person who can help her figure things out, give her advice. They built a beautiful friendship in a very short span of time. Very glad to see that Nandu came to the hospital to see Abhi even if it meant to face the wrath of Mukti. One should always ask a dying person how one should live life. Because only a person who is on the verge of losing it will know how beautiful it is..how we should appreciate it and what our loved ones really mean to us. Abhi's honesty that Manan have time to play games whereas he and Mukti don't. People say that Mukbhi fell in love too fast, their story is too unrealistic. I happen to disagree. They already know the value of the person they are able to lose. That's why they only have room for true and no other unnecessary emotions or issues. As you said, they already realize the depth and intensity of their love.

Really hope Manan gain some perspective from Mukbhi, especially our Manik. May Manik be enlightened in the way you have beautifully described.

Now for our Manan. I like that Manik didn't fight a unnecesscary battle with himself today, as always there is tension between the mind and heart but we get to that later. His honesty with Mukti: "There's...hope". Wow boy, someone's positivity is rubbing off on you. He seems a little confused still thou which i think he has no reason to be.

Not when he sought her out to discuss the 'illusion that love is.'I absolutely love that fact that Manik always 'needs' Nandu to sort through his thoughts about everything. He is stressed about Mukti and what Abhi means to her so yeah..makes total sense to pull her into a room and demand that she shouldn't be here.lol.

He is open and honest..it seems like love is just a illusion, he isn't sure if he ever really felt that emotion and then true love reaches out and holds his heart and whispers: Yes, there is true love, i am your true love. My beautiful moment right there ! Nandu's hand reaching out to reassure Manik was the beautiful moment. She holds his heart and his heart is soothed, welcomes her warm touch and he didn't flinch ! Major progress right there. And that was because he needed the touch more than she did but as always the stupid mind kicks in and shakes the hand loose which faith totally has a laugh at and hence, the accidental cheek kiss.

May i also mention that this boy is really diligent with this promise business ? One missed catch and he bent on not letting it again. So he catches her, refusing to let her fall and even gets a cheek kiss for it. Not bad at all, Manik Maltorta.

Holi: So it seems like Nandu has really hate/dislike for holi. there are emotional reasons for it, it may be connected to her parents but nonetheless should Manik choose to harass her at the time of holi, it will another step to learning more about each other. And if he hurts her unintentionally..umm, that's gonna be a problem for our romeo but that just means he will spend more time making it up to her. Thou a pool prank or a water scene seems to be coming according to the offscreen pictures..and Nyo is there too..ohhh i can already smell the trouble..lol. Should be a eventful Holi, one i hope will bring beautiful colours of change to our Manan's life.

Okies..this seems it for now. Lovely as always my love.

Happy Holi again.

Hullo hullo... okies so first let's talk about that last scene you talked about when Nandini reached out to hold Manik's hand. I absolutely fell in love with that line you used that her reaching out was a way to convey to him that yest there is true love and that she infact is his true love. Absolutely brilliant thought! She always has the answers to his questions and worries eh? Like it's almost as if he always has it planned that my rescuer is here, time for some private time in a room. You know what made that scene ever more beautiful was the fact that even though he pulled her inside with a frustrated mindset of what she was doing in the hospital. We seem him the next minute totally forgetting about pretending to be angry with her and he just starts pouring his concerns out to her. Like it was just such an effortless convo and straight from the heart which showed the fruits of Nandini's victory.

very well said about Abhi here. I'm glad Nandu visited him because she's taking along a new light of positivity with her that Abhi has pretty much gifted to her as his last gift. Her tears said it all that she found him to be truly inspirational even though he's in his given situation. Her hope was strengthened and her confidence was uplifted and she understood the power of true love in that scene. She realised that if two people can love each other so selflessly despite knowing that there is no future to their relationship, she should be grateful that she has Manik and they have each other for as long as their forever will last. She realised that true love cannot be taken for granted.

I liked your perception of the changing days of the Fab 5 and how these changes have infact helped shape all the friends individually and has contributed in their character growth in some way or the other. Loved your thought process there! I guess these changes have also motivated them to expand their horizons outside of SPACE and Fab 5 which will become their first step into battling out the real world outside of college.

Hahaha yeh I saw him catch in that room again and I was like yup... this is just the beginning. Now Nandini will probably end up tripping all falling some way or the other in every episode and Manik will continuously uphold his promise of never letting her fall. lol


Dude from the holi pics it seems the whole cast will be at this holi party. We could perhaps expect this party to run a good week or so lol

Hopefully I have access to the ipad tonight and I can actually post my response on time :P

Anywhoos ... speak to you soon!

Love,
Twinkie <3

_____________________________

Here goes, attempt 2 but this is a superly sad and pissed Sunny. May world be spared from my wrath..but still..you know :( now i know this response will suck and won't be the way i want... but still i am fate to...blueberry off !

Manan heal me..heal me..heal me..okay i think i am ready again.

Let us start with the emotional aspect of today. Where Manan picked up from. Manik's mind kicks in again and he walks off to gather his bearings again..distance so his heart would stop ruling him. And she says: There is true love and the heart is a mess again. ( Oh crap, i can't remember what i said about true love, oh Ayipappa, grant this child the ability to go back in time :( ) Anywho, she says: let her experience it. She isn't just talking about Mukti here, rather she is talking about herself. She loves him truly, she wants to experience that true love...not with the feeling of pain and betrayal and their battle but just love...even if it is for a few moments..she just wants to relish the feeling of what true love is. And he acknowledges her request, that backward glance. He may have not said but he understood: "Yes I know what you want. And i want to give it to you, I just trying to figure it out..how ??"

And the fate is lending a hand and saying: Do a favour, let's play holi. now why is Manik hell bent on playing holi with his Nandu ? Is he up to his mind games again, even if he is..he is in the playful mood of Holi.He doesn't mean to make her suffer, he wouldn't dare to try to hurt her emotionally. Had he chosen to do that, he would have opted to play Holi with Nandu publicly..not this intimate..mind you sexy manner. ohh the feels but more on that later. For him, There's hope..he can now welcome and accept the return of his light to his life. You know what ? Manik is tired of denying himself the pleasure of Nandini's presence..and now that he has accepted that there's hope...he isn't going to fight a unnecessary battle with himself..at least not on holi.

He Wants to be the first to colour her...How can the woman who has filled his life with such beautiful colours remain colourless on such a day ? So he teams up with chachi. Chachi is totally kickass, she ships Manan and treats Nandu like a real daughter, always looking for ways for her happiness. She realizes that Manik is her happiness so here she is doing what she does best ! Be the romantci cupid !

And how the arrow has stuck ? Right into a tangle of bodies in the water ! Damn, they are in the pool so why is there a need to put out the fire ? Manik is sure Nandu will show up and he is quick to pull into the water ? Did he know she can't swim ? Of course he does, she almost drowned once and he hadn't been the one to save her ? Does that still burn a little ? So all safety measures pulled, his girl can't drown, he is already in the water for her but still, he has to have everything covered.

Oh the hug...the feels..my heart.You know i was thinking last night how admist this angst track we have been denied their hugs but the gods were listening and they delivered. How she clings onto him..so tightly. Their bodies meshed as one, the grip so tight as if they will never let go. And how easily his arms came around her, to pull her closer, to relish in her warmth in the cold water. My beautiful moment right there ! And he smiles...he smiles his beautiful smile. Two days, Two real smiles, Somebody tell Nandu's hope to rejoice.

My Manik is healing...he is already ready to accept her,but he needs more time. Trust made a reappearance again...their main issue, " oh yeah, you don't trust me" but i am glad they didn't let a sweet moment get spoiled by bitter memories.. but had this been a few days ago, Manik would have flinched her touch again at the return of his bitter moment but no, there's hope..Hope for them to build a beautiful relationship again, one which will fill the gaps of trust and communication. and will leave more room for true love.

And he will be the one to colour her first..I am really touched by the fact that Manik chose to celebrate Holi with Nandini in a private fashion.Not that all that sexy cheek wali holi was meant for other eyes but still,i give him points for that. I am give him credit for listening to his girl. "Don't touch me with your hands." While he doesn't take no for a answer, he is still sensitive about what she said. So comes the cheek rubbing. Laal. Laal Isqh, The colour of his love, his favourite colour. How in love and passionate their love is...red is their colour. And he rubs their skin together, their warmth mingling. So close yet so far.

Okies..this is it i guess. I don't know what i missed but oh well. I just knew i couldn't deny your response in the fit of my issues with technology..lol

Beautifully written my love, my apologies about not being able to bold my fav bits :(

Love as always to my Twinkie Bear,
