Heya girl!So finally ky2 will be back today and seeing the post about niti's twitter pics and all, looks like the announcement of manik being replaced will be made today. And I must say my heart is very anxious to see how this all turns out. We know this will drive manik that extra bit to realise that how important this whole concert is for him because of the hope that is attached with it. As per his challenge to nandini, if they survive till the end of the concert there is hope and we all know how desperately he wants to be able to experience that moment so it'll be interesting to watch how he tries to re-gain his position back into the concert? Also just a random thought, what if the panditji makes it a face-off between dhruv and manik and it'll be like; may the best one win, and the winner will be nandini's partner? I don't know.. it was just a random thought considering they are focusing so much on dhruv's growing frustration for manik. But let's see I guess and only time shall tell.Also I rreally hope that panditji's prime reason of keeping manik away from the concert and nandini is only because he wants nandini to grow in music and he wants to see her succeed... really hoping that we don't see his romantic but not-so-romantic intentions taking over him here. That will be reallly disappointing because a part of me still wants him to become the reason behind nandini's focus for her music.I agree with your WH comment. The first episode even I was quite disappointed and there was just like no flow to it. I felt like these weren't really the Fab 5 we knew all along. It was more of just a guess appearance so it was a let down episode but I guess yesterday's episode for me wasn't too bad. No doubt that even yuesterday's episode wasn't executed well because again there wasn't much of a focus on Fab 5 and their history the explanation as to why they are the way they are but to some extent, we got to see an indirect sense of realisation from manik's behalf about his careless attitude towards relationships and love in the early days of his life. I was glad they showed the flashback of V and Manik's friendship and there was a respect from my behalf toward's V's character because she seems to be the reason that Manik found and realised true love today. She was mature enough to reject him as he said because she knew that there was and could only be friendship between the two and that love wasn't just a feeling that you feel when you're attracted to someone or just because you've been hanging around someone for the whole of your childhood doesn't mean they are the one. So yeh... it was good to see manik realise that he was stubborn and his definition of what he thought love was, was never actually applicable. I liked when he accepts that he was always wrong and she was right and how he says but now I have changed, time has changed me. There was that essence that his time with Nandini and just her presence in his life has made him realise of the true definition of love and that's why he was glad for the decision V took so many years back about rejecting him because she was never the one for him anyway.Oh and yehh I thought there were a few scenes missing from the first episode. I think it was the bit he crashes in the tree right? But I gave up on it hahaDid you watch yesterday's episode?See you around!Twinkle :)
Cavya: Firstly, your section on Cavya was excellent. I doubt i can add anything, you did it too well. i have to say not the best way for the truth to be out but i am glad it's out there. Boyfriend ! lol, my poor Cabs. Loved his meeting with Navya's mother..haha. his fumbles, his stuttering..lol.But now Navya has learned not to jump to conclusions. She should have waited to see what exactly the conversation was about before she dropped the bomb. But i feel as thou she was so heavily weighted with the stress and guilt, that deep down even she is relieved. She is upset with Cabir, maybe she has a right to be but this happened for the betterment of them. But i am glad they didn't stretch it out. And you are right: now Navya can fully focus on bringing this child to the world. Cavya's friendship will be tested and they will definitely get stronger. I don't know if Cabs is about to become a 'boy-friend' to Navya in the eyes of Navya's mother and the father of Navya's child but i think that is what the mother shall think and Cavya might along with it. LOL. I see Hi-Larious written all over it..
Mukti: Damn, the poor girl ! Abhi despite his best intentions to stop hurting Mukti..he keeps hurting her. If she has chosen to stay with him till his last breath, then he can't walk away every time he wants to. Why ? Why ? Multi is right. Why is killing her in this way ? She doesn't deserve to be denied his presence until the end. He is being selfish and it's not fair. We will have to see which way their story goes according to the note but i am not liking the fact Abhi is dictating how their relationship runs. Bro, it's a two-way street, two people in a relationship and they make decisions together.
Dhruv and Manik: Okies, what's is this man's problem ? like just tell me what it is. I am sort of getting past of the point of trying to understand his problem with Manik. When you look through the world with a certain lens, you are bound to percieve in that manner. So negativity if all Dhruv is seeing. He is aloof with Manik, distancing himself and not giving a damn because he resents Manik. He so desperately wants to be like Manik that he is forgetting what a special friend, a brother Manik has been to him. I feel as thou if an attack would be triggered for Dhruv, it would help these two out. Their emotional bonding. But at least they have decided to talk about it. For now, Dhruv pisses me off..lol.
What a homecoming ! Manik's home is Nandini Murthy so when he claimed, he could have gone home, he lied. He did indeed come to his home. And her sweet catch up date touched him. The cousy, romantic atmosphere brought that tiny smile to his face. The feeling of a loved one waiting for him to return. Seeing how she spent her time awaiting his return: that's such a foregin feeling. Such a good foreign feeling.She knows him too well, he is becoming too predicable.lol. I am glad that thou in a teasing manner, she did clear up about the Pandit, knowing he would be want to know, that's it's bugging him. Quite thoughtful of our Nandu, the reassurance she gives him.
And he sits next to her, unwinds, shares about his day because he is past the point of denying himself the pleasure of her presence. I agree with you, he did seem mentally tired, a tad reluctant to share with Nandu, but the important sentence: " She is just a friend, now" So we shall take it as such. Honestly, i am not very interested in Manik's past ( his love life to be precise). The truth, the reality is that Nandini is his present as well as his future.
She brought him to watch the stars. And star gazing he did do indeed. "You can't resist the stars." So right you are Nandini, he simply can't resist you. He turns to face her, and stares at his own shining star with a look full of love, her smile brightening his life again, her presence bringing peace to his heart. She reaches out and takes hold of his hand, and his entire being comes to life. That little twitch, that's him coming back to life. Away from her, he just exists but with her,he lives. He is alive. She is his reason for everything. For preponing the tickets, for coming straight to her after a long tiring flight. She is the reason for everything he does.
They played a beautiful song for Manan today. Apt in every sense.
Tujhko jo paaya aha
Toh jeena aaya
Ab yeh lamha thehar jaaye tham jaaye bas jaaye hum dono ke darmiyaan haan
With you, i have learnt to live. In every sense, Nandini has taught him how to live, taught him how to look at look at life with positivity, taught him to see the goodness within himself. And this moment, the moment of lying together under his stars, he wants to be in this moment with her forever, because that's all he needs from life: just her. Their love doesn't have room for a third person. Pandit's question is still haunting him but we touch on that later. But what i want to say that while the question still lingers at the back of his mind..for now, his inner turmoil is quietened. He is where he belongs, right next to his love, his heart is content.
"Actually now, it's not hurting as much." The heart is indeed healing, his anger is nonexistent now. I loved the honesty of Manik Matltorta, how he always tells her the truth within his own lies. Because somewhere in his heart, he wants to tell her, "I am not angry anymore, i have forgiven you, our love is past all that, my trust in you is rebuilding." But he can't, not yet. The heart may want to, but maybe the mind isn't ready for it. So instead he tells her to hope. Because her hope is his hope and together as they hope, they shall find their way back to each other. Manan don't really need to confess their love as you have said. Moments like these, coming home to his love after a long day, lying together to talk, sharing and being with each other..That's love.
Now..onto the aggressive Manik Maltorta. Loved the way you described and explained his reason for lashing out in the way he did. Last night when he was with her, the questions, the tensions, all his mental stress he was able to shed. But today, everything is back full force. the inner turmoil is back. He rushes to the music room, slightly out of breath worried his Nandu being alone with 'that Pandit". Nandini was being playful, she enjoys his jealously but she isn't aware of what is plaguing his mind. And you said it: she pushed him to the edge and he erupted. She isn't aware of the war that has been declared between Pandit and Manik. So the 'hold' isn't about their hope vs.hatred game, that game has ended already in a way. As much as Manik hopes for heir hope to win and for them to perform together. This all goes past that. This hold about his Nandini. He is holding her so tightly, he loves her so much that he know no one should even think about stealing her away. His is his life and he will fight for her and he will protect her. So Pandit, i keep warning you and you aint listening: watch out, older generation guy. This younger generation lad is about to kick your ass (figuratively and eventually literally)
Okies...i think i am done..Such a joy to be able to write my essays again.lol. Awesome-sauce as always, written to beautiful perfection.

"What?" his whispers to himself, whilst his brother stood there accusing him, were only loud enough for him to hear. His tongue questioning his inner-voice as to where he failed. Where did he fail his brother, their brotherhood. His eyes looking around to search for the answers behind this anger, this sudden unleashing of bitter hatred. He tried to find the answers on his friend's face. Perhaps he would be his support one last time. Perhaps he would himself explain the unrevealed reasons of this loathing. Just one last time.
"Teri yeh help... tera yeh protection... mujhe suffocate kar raha hai". The words speared through his heart. The heart which had the strength to bear anything. After all the heart is the strongest muscle in the body. And Manik's heart. It was one of a kind. Pure, unselfish, selfless. It absolutely hated the worldly concept of a give and take relationship. And today, his brother had condemned him for the sin that his heart could never have even thought of doing. He was blamed for each and every one of those things that his heart never permitted him to do. He was being accused for taking away the peace, happiness, life and love from his brother's life. The heart which knew only how to shower, protect, fight and endlessly given to his loved ones... was today held guilty for taking away too.
"Aur haan... aisa nahi hai keh maina koshish nahi ki tere ehsaanon ko kum karne ke liye. I have covered up for you..." Another dagger speared through his bleeding heart. The concept of give and take was re-visited. He hated it because it was nyonika's favourite. A theory, an ideology, a perception that stole my Manik's innocent childhood before he had even begun to understand life. A continuously-arising speculation in the Malhtora household that dumped my manik's soul into a swamp of darkness. The evilest of all propositions that compelled my manik to seek companionship within emotions like anger, wrath and fury. It left him stunned, confounded, dejected. Was it always about give and take?
Blinded by his insecurities, deafened by his resentment, paralysed by his animosity; Dhruv ledged out every inch of hatred flowing within him for Manik. No words were left unsaid. No remarks were left unspoken. No accusations were left undeclared. From the smallest of his jealousies, to the biggest of his rancour; he wrapped his pinching words around the tip of his sarcastic arrows and shot them one after the other, to where it always hurts the most; the heart. And just when my Manik thought it was the last of his arrows, the rather unrecognisable figure spit out his final pain-filled, venomous words that left the mark of a cobra's bite on my Manik's heart. He might've said it to Aliya, but they became the reason for his tumbling world "Manik can have you!"
The End
He broke the pure bond of brotherhood. And walked away as if no Manik ever existed. Like no best friend ever protected him. As if no brother ever nurtured him. Whilst it is understandable he was unable to trust his first lady love; Aliya because of her own confused sense of mind, but one would question him that can you not see it was never Aliya for him. It was never Aliya he craved the love of. For Manik it was always Nandini. Then why such bitterness? Why so much hatred? Why such detestation? Upon his exit, another set of steps followed. She was in no terms to reason today. Drowned and routed in her own painful tears. Slipping away in her own heart-broken dilemmas. Too hurt to think straight. Too hurt to walk straight. Next, a pair of heels followed the path out those doors. She needed to settle it with him for the very last time. "I need to talk to Dhruv." Enough of playing games. Enough of the physical drama. Enough of lame comments. It was either now or never. For she may not see it, I still blame her yet again for breaking this pure bond of brotherhood. The last set of feet showed reluctance to leave. They stood there in contemplation of whether to protect the one drowning in love's angst or whether to save the one burning in the flames of a broken friendship. But he reassured with a false smile that he will be alright. And so the last of the footsteps made their exit too.
But she stood there.
His shining star. His hope. His ultimate saviour. Maybe far from him, but never so close. The throbbing of his weeping heart, she could hear. The wounds of his bleeding heart, she could see. The tinge of his wounded heart she could feel. But pain is always meant to be shared. And so she followed his staggering footsteps. She followed his anguish frown. She followed those despaired eyes. She let him tread a few steps alone, only so he wouldn't dismiss her demand of letting her walk on the rest of the journey with him. She gave him his much-needed space, but only so he wouldn't space her out completely from his bubble.
"Jaao yahan se!" He rebuked himself. He hated himself. He wanted to punish himself. But he knew she wouldn't let him. He had promised himself to protect everyone. Everyone that were his life to him. But she. She was that sole one who vowed to protect him. Be it night, be it light. Be it rainfall, be it sunshine. She was his shield. His guardian. His protector. Any pain would have to seep through her veins before it even dare to sting his heart. "Manik, I know you need me!"
"No!" Shock overtook him once again. The pain was spreading like numbness through his body. He attempted to walk away once again. His stature resembled a zombie to be precise. Lifeless. Absolutely emotionless. But enough was enough! The alone time needed to end here. He either let her walk with him, or not a step would be taken. What once used to be his move to hinder her steps, was today her technique of locking him in place. Pushed against the wall, demanding the outburst of his feelings, his thoughts, his agony, his tears. "Shhh... don't... say a word!" She was scared. Scared for him. His silence was scaring her. His resistance was alarming. His hibernation, making her fearful for him. He was at a loss of words. Eyes rejecting every request to blink just once back to reality. Tears refusing to let go of the pupils. "It was Dhruv... my ... buddy...my..." A violent Manik was definitely better than a silent one. He needed to express if not talk. Yell, scream, break, punch, anything; but just no silence! Silence was dangerous. It meant he was falling in the well of utter darkness once again. It meant he wasn't safe for himself. It meant he was heading towards a dreadful dead end. She had to save him. She had to break his silence. And so she instigated him with her stubbornness. She swore to not utter a word and demanded he do the talking. But walking away was out of the question. "Talk to me!" And he let it all go. He let out the shrieking, painful cry of loss, defeat, loneliness. She was ready to bear it all. His anger, his frustration, his outburst, his violence. But just not silence. But before she could push him over the edge again, he shut her off and dejectedly walked off.
He continued to walk. Stoned. Despondent. Crushed. The words haunting his mind and heart. Making the pain unbearable. Intolerable. He loathed himself for the pain his brother was in. His world ripped apart. His life now meaningless, directionless. His heart. Which was on its last stage of recovery, now revealed tender, fresh wounds. The echoes of the hateful voice, increasing the pain minute by minute. It was becoming impossible to endure the spreading pain. His tears were becoming incontrollable. The reality was overpowering. He couldn't take it anymore. He needed her. And today, he wasn't going to lie.
"You were right! I need you."
The tear finally rolled down. The heart finally wept out a plea for help. The mind and the heart both begged for her to stop. He needed her soothing touch the most today. He needs her to protect him to the max today. The pieces have shattered everywhere today. But only she knows the correct placement. The heart's wounds won't stop bleeding. But her touch will heal them in no time. He's afraid darkness will envelope him and throw him into a never-ending black hole. But her presence will show him the light at the end of the tunnel. It's her time to shine today. Shine like she's never shone. It's her time to protect him in the cocoon of her arms. It's her time to balm his heart. It's her turn to fight for him.
Tomorrow she will assure him of her love. She will wipe his tears and kiss each of his wounds better. She will caress his forehead to put him off to a peaceful night's sleep. Tomorrow she will inch very close to making him a part of her once again. Because tomorrow, he will finally realise that he needs her not just today, but forever.

Fudge Fudge fudge..fish sauce fish sauce..Damn...i typed like more than half my response and i hit the back space to fix something and BAAM !!! my words are gone...like i cannot explain how pissed i am. This response i genuinely struggled with. When i emotionally connect with a character...i just feel the emotions..i couldn't find the right words today...and i seriously struggled and now it's all gone. damn :( here goes attempt 2
First and foremost, please take a damn bow. This was not just your usual amazing but this...this is probably your best analysis yet. Honestly, i wanted to bold the entire analysis today. The episode was really a emotional one and your words...they just took me back to the heartbreak..like damn ! like i was re-experiencing the entire heartbreak all over again. Oh the emotions.
I actually like to start with Mukti. I was somewhat mentally prepared for Manik's heartbreak but Mukti, it ached my heart to see the old Mukti back, trying so desperately to conceal her broken heart. The dark, black makeup, the hookups, the alcohol, that's isn't Mukti anymore and you can tell how broken she is now. The widest smiles hide the saddest stories they say and Mutki is reverting to old self in a failed attempt to forget the man who broke her heart when he was the one to heal her, to teach her all about life, who taught her all about love and positivity..to taught how it felt like to smile an honest smile. Abhi, truly disappointed in him. He shouldn't let her come close if he wanted to walk away while he is much alive. Mukti already has abandonment issues, and Mukti has reenforced her beliefs: everyone she loves will walk away from her. Abhi had given wise advice to Nandu at the hospital, to not waste time playing games and unfortunately he didn't go by his words. In a way, he is playing a game, playing with the emotions of his girl's heart. Sighs..i want to go on but honestly, i can't because i will get emotional for Mukti all over again. I connect with her character, while half the time i don't agree with the way she treats Nandini or Manan's relationship, i have hope for her character..and today i connected with Mukti's heartbreak and wanted to punch Abhi in the face for bringing the old Mukti back, the old Mukti with a new heartbreak, one that will leave the most damage.
Dhruv..he lay it out all out today...that too selfishly. He already knew that Mukti needed Fab 5 today, she needed her friends..her family to take care of her broken soul but even then, he pulled a selfish move and lashed out at Manik today. The resentment and bitterness has been building up for so long now, that in a way i am glad he let it all today. Manik, he needed to stop living in the illusion what he thought their relationship still is...That relationship has been damaged. Alya has created a bitter man, she tried to redeem herself today, confessing her love in front of Fab5 in hopes of saving their relationship but a tad too late Miss. Mini Dress. She is giving Dhruv what he no longer cares for, she has a hand in creating this new Dhruv, one has gone too far, almost a point of no return. He stood there, stating the 'facts', dishing out bitter words of 'truth' that sliced through his best friend's heart. And the give and take ! he pulled a Nyionka and that hurt Manik so bad..that Dhruv gave a price tag to his years of love and friendship in exchange of keeping a secret..or so generously giving Alya up to Manik, how shallow Dhruv, how bloody shallow. Manik's heart, which only knows how to give love...to love selflessly, to protect the ones he loves. Dhruv, he is very much a part of Manik's existence..he has a corner in Manik's heart but he so easily broke that same heart he resides in. Dhruv blinded by his bitterness and resentment single handedly butchered the sacred relationship of friendship and brotherhood, inflicted permeant damage to it.
Manik. First i have to applaud Parth for his stellar performance today. Everyone acted wonderfully today but Parth, that man, he stole the show today. He was just in a state of shock today...in a daze..in disbelief. What ? What was his best friend saying ? Where ? Where is all of this coming from ? How ? How could his best friend say all the things he did ? He simply couldn't fathom how he best friend, his buddy, could feel this bitterness, this resentment, this hatred towards him. The boy he grew up, the one friend he found his initial years of love and solace and happiness with. The guy with who he found his love for music . All gone. He lost so much today..lost the most beautiful thing...lost the happiest part of his childhood, lost the reason for why he loves stars, lost the reason for his heart to always protect and love, lost his buddy...the loss was far too much to bear.
Everyone eventually walks away. Fab 5 are always there when they need each other but today, Dhruv's words divided them all. They all walked off...to nurse a heartbreak, to save a friend, to end a relationship..and how easily they left the stunned, broken boy there. Today, i saw a broken lost soul, saw a picture of how he grew up..All Alone ! He takes care of everyone, all the freaking time and the one time he is about to fall...his friends aren't there for him like he is for them but he isn't alone. His shining star silently stood there, tears being shed watching him suffer.. She watched..she stayed knowing he would need her, knowing that she would need to find a way to ease his pain, to share his sorrow.
He is so use to being alone..to fighting in the darkness alone that his natural reflex is fight ! to fight the help she wants to give. He isn't use to it, someone caring for him. He wants to be alone in his misery, to lash out when he finally registers the words that have been spoken and forever imprinted in his memory. When the pain hits, he wants to be alone. Anger is his only constant emotion..even as his heart is broken, he just wants to feel angry. He doesn't want to need her, he wants to need no one ! " I don't need you" I say, even in pain, they are companions. And today Nandini truly was his companion, refusing to leave him. Despite his denial, she knows just much he needs her. She rather that he lets it all out, she can bear all his anger, he can throw things around but this stoic, silent Manik, she can't bear it. She wants to hold him when he falls. And his heart...he needs her..it cries out "I need you.". His sorrow will shed in his tears tomorrow and he needs her more than ever.
Oh God, honestly speaking, the precap already brought tears to my eyes. Tomorrow, Manik Maltorta is going to fall to his knees in utter defeat and for once he doesn't have to be alone. She will gather her in his petite arms and become his strength...she promised when he would be too weak to go on, she would become his strength.
Okies..i think i am done..i am never happy with a attempt 2 but here it is.. You were fab today as you shall tomorrow..i can't wait for tomorrow analysis.
With love as always,

I feel manik has finally given in to his fight of keeping her away from himself. Possibly a realisation since he can't send her away from his life he might as well keep her in front of his eyes and torture? But that will be the healing stage of their relationship.Also, does anyone also feel that maybe just maybe he's decision of attending Panditji's class is so he can keep him away from nandini? After all, there is a battle going on inside him. And whilst he's words to nandini that "i'm not done with you yet" may be from the mind... he hasn't been able to express the true reason to nandini or himself. The heart's reason. We all know his heart can't see nandini with another guy so perhaps this is all an act done in the heat of insecurity... just a thought I got lol
