This is a good deal...arre taab toh BK it has to be economy seats...lol kyun ke business or first class only have two together...

So after I am sure two brilliant reviews I doubt a third is needed but I am going to anyway...mera job is in jeopardy laag raha hain.

Wat I loved abt this FF was something different then the others (I feel like I am writing a narrative..."what I like abt Harry Potter is") is that in the other ones I am taken over by the romance but in this one I simply loved the realisitic approach...it was so something I could have experienced on a flight...ok minus the fact that I have flown bfr.

Sounds just abt right...late departure. And why oh why must all int'l flights depart at such odd times???

JW on the other hand by her side by the WINDOW (she didnt want to peek out:-)

I can only so fully imagine how that must have played out when they must have first boarded the plane...or she must have told him even bfr hand...

JW dressed in wrinkle free off white trousers, and a olive green all cotton full sleeve shirt, tan suede on his feet looked every bit the frequent flier he was.

Now this I dedicate to myself 😳 ...I can feel daggers coming at me.

She had NOT packed for him, she didnt want him to misconnstrue that as her wanting to reconcile

Oh and wat was that little segment bfr ur trip to the embassy??? Even ur hubby misunderstood in that case...

He had bought her a lot of books, tour guides on Bk on his way home that evening

Very cute...and I spent some time imagining JW out and abt quickly picking these up...

Pia looked like she was a lil miffed at first

Wat ur thinking that could have been u going instead of ur sister...will I have to repeat Soap's classic dialogue here...

Watched hubby flip the page of the magazine, in deft movements of his hands, the sprinkling of dark hair on their back... long sensitive fingers, those fingers she thought, how can she forget them, they were made to carress a woman, and thatwoman these days is ME she realizes in shock,

😳 😳 😳 This PI u and I will share. But Bani the only woman it has ever been is u...if only u realized the Sanjana's and Roshni's and of course the AF's out there waiting to replace u...

She shadnt pitched even one during their first stint of post-married life. Either she was getting really comfortable with him finally or she had HAD IT, had to be one or the other:-)

I want ur detailed analysis on this one JW...detailed.

He wanted to hold her and reassure her that she had nothing to fear, he could never hurt her, oh well, not more than what he had already hurt her, he admitted to himself wryly. He was a businessman, not a relationship expert, he knew how to increase his wealth he was not the best tutor or practitioner of sensitivity. He was making progress definitely in stripping off her defenses, her resistance was weakening. He had to take it slow in order not to scare her away completely. He had to show her what he maent to her, and what she means to him. "Iam going to apply the focus and resolve for once outside of business and maybe ask my pig headedness for a hand:-) He was not going to force her,or do anything she didnt want to......but he was not going to let her deny her feelings or his either. His seductive onslaught on her the past week was a fair warning to her that he intended to fulfill his fantasies where she was concerned. He wanted to posess her mind and body and body as of now was more available than her mind 😉

Ok and he thinks he is "not a relationship expert"??? JW u've got it down to the nitty-gritty...even she doesn't know she feels/thinks this. How any woman...ya any woman on this planet would die to have a man who understands her like this. It's dreaming for the impossible.


J (closes teh mag puts it away, leans over to his wife to give his undivided attention)
JW (has to shut his eyes and purse his lips for a min lest the smiles escapes)
B You are lying JW has to laugh for that one
fidgets with her belt, (which he helped clip:- among teaching her other things like how to recline her seat, how to turn on the TV, the music, where the rest room was, how to open and close the overhead bins .............JW has no choice, reaches over grabs both her hands in a firm grip, and holds each one of hers with each one of his, its like Bani has found her rescuer's hand, about to save her from drowning... Se grips hard........ He doesnt let go...
Plane finally takes off, Bani squeezing the nerves and blood out of JW's hands while the plane climbs
JW helps B recline her seat and does the same to his

This all is that genuine realism that I loved.

JW: Can I kiss u?

Damnit u usually blurt out yes...why couldn't u blurt out 'yes' in the spur of the moment here...I guarantee u that would have made for smooth flying...

They serve the 5 course meal, she refuses to eat, only drinks some orange juice after much persuasion......

Lol another one where I stopped and imagined this brief scene...kya kya karna padta hain JW tere ko...sach mein the JW...lovin' it...

Bani actually relaxes a lil bit and decides its not too bad afterall, cant even feel the plane move she thinks its like a house that has a motor turned on she feels

This is still wat I feel when I fly...

JW:Nahi, true, so kya kahoon, abhi gir jaayega (teasing again)

😛 😛 😛

B is even more terrified "U are horrible"

She is adorable and I am beginning to literally beginning to hear in my ears her saying these kind of things to JW...the tone...her expressions...her hand movements...

JW:Plaese try to sleep, sweethrt, I promise hum subah Bk mein ho nge

Don't bother asking why...this is my FAVE line in this FF...something abt it...don't quite know wat...but something. I read it over and over and over again.

Her hair all tousled, JW had taken her clip off while sleeping

To imagine him watching her sleep...ah takes me back to mera waala scene...ooh-la-la.

it works like the heart jolter thing

defibrillator

her color rushes back and she tries to get up Nope again!, he deliberately curves his left arm around her waist all smiling, both facing each other the first banter for the day begins............ B: Hum pahunch gaye? Wow! Wow! overjoyed all smile, itni jaldi? JW: Haan short cut (amused) B: Stop it! (digs deeper into his shoulder in revenge) JW:Banee tumne woh books padhe Thailand ke baare mein B:A lil bit JW: Pata nahi books mein mention kiya hoga ya nahi but U have to kiss your husband first thing every morning its a Thai custom... (husky, laughing, eyes twinkling........... nears her face)Her heart begins to pound like a freight train again......he smothers her choked murmurs with his lips as the familiar addictive taste of him begins to saturate her senses!!

As usual don't know wat else to say so will save everyone the misery... 😳 😳 😳 ...instead of wasting time reading me drool abt it...spend that much time reading that portion once more 😛


Thanks Aditee...but we miss u...

AF...so we were talking abt shows earlier today. Coincidentally saw for the first time the finale of Mad Abt You just now on Nick At Nite (I am thinking it was a season finale...not show because I think they have a kid afterwards)...and then just recently several months back had seen the Will & Grace finale when it ended. Will & Grace one left me so disappointed but the Mad Abt You one was so nicely done---it's the one where Jamie confesses she kissed some other guy...loved it...was in three parts and left me thinking at the end.

PI ur review for today's was so thorough...I somehow am so used to reading JW-centered updates (damnit the man is the lead isn't he? lol). So I had no interest w/all the 'banned' ppl in today's episode. But I was thinking abt it in class today. Today's episode as whole...if it is shown as anything but a dream it will make no sense. The main question (which u have addressed earlier) is why would Bani be w/Puskar??? She hates JW...ok she thinks she does...but I don't think even in her deepest hatred she would turn to Puskar of all ppl. Cuz JW may have forgiven Puskar and Pia...but I doubt he would be happy that she turned to Puskar in such sensitive times. So this is a dream or a big setup...which one only tomm will tell. Another reason I feel it can't be a big thing is because it's not a Friday episode...usually only the Friday episodes are meant to leave us hanging. Remember the Friday bfr 06/19???

Aww...thanks AD....I don't know how I put myself through it all but I guess I really did wanna watch it for myself to believe they said those words. Btw that doc is still hanging by the thread.....if I find out he was doing it coz of some Cobra then that's it....he's a dead man! 😡
As for the dream bit....I have to second Aditee on this....which sick wife would dream this way! 😕 I really hope that Bani gives up her exile and comes out of her hiding to meet her hubby dearest! I'm beginning to get quite annoyed by her right now! Like I said earlier and well you highlighted as well WHY PUSHKY???? I suppose there isn't anyone else she could turn to but somehow I think Pushky found her rather than she having made this plan with him! 😕 But you're right today's the crucial episode.......so it better not leave us hanging in depression! I can handle being at the edge of my seat as long as I KNOW for a fact that JW is not dead! 😡 If not then like i said AD Balaji Studios is going down! 😛

I hadn't watched MAY finale but I did watch the W&G finale and yea it was quite disappointing! 🤢 So was the finale for FRIENDS or so I heard at least.....I actually never got to watch that either but I read word for word of it. Raymond's finale was one that was ok....something better than most of the other shows at least.

Wooo hoo! and the journey begins😉. Loved it! I am dying to see now how Bani and Jai do, out of their elements of Mumbai and the routine....

Aditee.. this was awesome!

In my mind's eye I could totally see the scene playing out! The way they sat, the way she would have rested her head on his shoulder...his reaction, her blushing... your descriptions were amazing!!!!

And whether or not my earlier mention to you about Jai's feelings had any bearing on the para from his perspective -- I totally spotted it and LOVED IT!!!! It was nice to see another scene, kinda from his perspective. How he sees Bani.. what he understands about her -- he sees her so well!! HE understands her as no one in her life can...not even her sisters! Just him! It was brilliant!!! I could also feel what she meant to him, which is something beyong being just a casual flirtation or something he has to possess.. she means so much more!!!

The dialogue was super, super cute! its nice to see this Bani....a bit childish, scared, and not always as self-possessed as she'd like to come across. Its a nice departure from the show, where we put Bani up on a pedestal. And, its nice to see that Jai understands this about her, as I said above, and also enjoy "taking-care," of her.. and teaching her. He NEVER condescends to her... which is just---- perfect!!!

I cannot wait to see what happens in Bk! Woo hoo!

Thank you again for delighting us with another lovely section to the FF! I am so spoiled along with the rest of the gang that its a little treat we wait for during the day! Thanks for indulging us!

XOXOXOXO

PART 13
Thai airways Flight 23, taxied off the gate at 4 AM (sched dep 2 AM) Sunday morning from Mumbai's Shivaji Intl airport and crawled to a stop to wait in line for take off clearance............. J and B settled down in their biz class seats in the front row............. B again looks around the plane for signals on the cabin crew's faces for the reason for the new delay........B a nervous wreck had contemplated getting off of it more than one time. Her face all pale, telling any one who cared to see it her whole opinion about flying. JW on the other hand by her side by the WINDOW (she didnt want to peek out:-)reading his favorite Golfer's digest, intermittenly looking over his shoulder to observe the deteriorating condition of his wife, part amused, part concerened.JW dressed in wrinkle free off white trousers, and a olive green all cotton full sleeve shirt, tan suede on his feet looked every bit the frequent flier he was.

Of, if Mrs. Bani Walia has ANY problem occupying the seat next to this hottie... I shall gladly switch my economy seat with her. I think I got seated next to a man who cries.. without provocation....(actually this really did happen on a transatlantic flight -- and I was this close to asking the flight attendant if she could hand him kleenex -- it was quite ennerving as he was crying whilst watching "Made in Manhattan.." (AND NO! The movie wasn't THAT bad!)😆

Her on the other hand dressed in blue jeans and a pink Polo t-shirt looked like a girl who had may have slipped out of her college class to watch her fave movie and had found her Prof in the next seat at the multiplex.

So cute! Aditee.. did you get caught doing this?

the difference in bothe their demeanor was stark! 😆

She had NOT packed for him, she didnt want him to misconnstrue that as her wanting to reconcile 😳
wud she? 😉 He had bought her a lot of books, tour guides on Bk on his way home that evening, she
had tried to read of those after the bags were chkd in, in order to avoid talking with him

Bani had spent the entire day at Pia's after getting her packing all done. Pia looked like she was a
lil miffed at first 😡 hearing about B's sudden overseas trip had later managed to hide her
despondence behind some fake cheer. She was really concerened about how Di was going to do
on that flight......... Bani in order to not make Pia too worrie dhad calmed her down and had
promsied she wud be fine. She had later called Rano during the day and informed her as well, and
had sounded amazingly calm and confident during that conversation... Watched hubby flip the
page of the magazine, in deft movements of his hands, the sprinkling of dark hair on their back... long sensitive fingers, those fingers she thought, how can she forget them, they were made to carress a woman, and thatwoman these days is ME she realizes in shock, 😳 her face paling further........ DAMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Bani... ay hay! Tu Satiya gayee hain! Din main bhi fantasies..... humara club join karne ka irada hai kya?!

JW unaware of his wife's scrutiny looked at B again, his mind opened its door a crack and thots of
hsi wife started flowing out freely, his calm, sometimes even aloof, stoic wife was struggling to keep her composure he observed.
She never let her guard down except when she was with him, he wondered if even her sisters knew the real Bani. A faint smile twitched his lips, when he thot about her tantrum last nite. She shadnt pitched even one during their first stint of post-married life. Either she was getting really comfortable with him finally or she had HAD IT, had to be one or the other:-)

She had been so swamped playing a nurturing older sibling, Mom, caregiver to a drunk Dad, he doubted if she ever experienced being a child or a teenager. Being the oldest didnt help either he mused. He replayed the nite before in his mind and savored every thing she had said. Maybe the fear of impending flying had caused it.Or maybe it was being alone with him for such a long period

Beneath that veneer of self assuarnce lay a young vulnerable, at times even a childish person.
He wanted to hold her and reassure her that she had nothing to fear, he could never hurt her, oh well, not more than what he had already hurt her, he admitted to himself wryly.

He was a businessman, not a relationship expert, he knew how to increase his wealth he was not the best tutor or practitioner of sensitivity. He was making progress definitely in stripping off her defenses, her resistance was weakening. He had to take it slow in order not to scare her away completely. He had to show her what he maent to her, and what she means to him. "Iam going to apply the focus and resolve for once outside of business and maybe ask my pig headedness for a hand:-) He was not going to force her,or do anything she didnt want to......but he was not going to
let her deny her feelings or his either. His seductive onslaught on her the past week was a fair warning to her that he intended to fulfill his fantasies where she was concerned. He wanted to posess her mind and body and body as of now was more available than her mind 😉

Aditee.. a special thanks for this section above! I love getting into the character of Jai Walia.. .we love him so! And its so much harder to write from a man's perspective -- kudos to you for pulling out all the stops, and making it stellar!

B (nervous, squeaky voice)Plane phir se kyon ruk gaya?
J (closes teh mag puts it away, leans over to his wife to give his undivided attention) Banee take off
clearance nahi mila hoga (softly) Its like a traffic jam on the road (explaining........)
B: Pehle late kyon hua phir, plane mein koi problem hai na?
JW (has to shut his eyes and purse his lips for a min lest the smiles escapes) Nahi Baneee, itne
saare logon ka samaan load karna hai, food, plus, Bk se aayi late thi plane......
B: Bk se kyon late aayi (almost in tears.....this has to be trouble she concludes)
JW: Banee kabhi kabhi weather sahi nahi hota, clouds hote hain, to speed kam ho jaata hai
B You are lying
JW has to laugh. for that one
B Dont laugh its not funny", (fidgets with her belt, (which he helped clip:- among teaching her other
things like how to recline her seat, how to turn on the TV, the music, where the rest room was,
how to open and close the overhead bins .............), smooths her jeans with sweaty palms as if it
were a wrinkly tafetta skirt)
JW has no choice, reaches over grabs both her hands in a firm grip, and holds each one of hers

with each one of his, its like Bani has found her rescuer's hand, about to save her from drowning...

I love that he loves to tease her!!! She can't admit it..but part of what she loves about him is that he makes her laugh, and think! She couldn't be with a serious man....😆.

Se grips hard........
He doesnt let go... Bani eyes closed leans back and exhales nervously.......
JW: Look at me Banee
Startled looks at him
JW: agar mere haathon ko aise pakdogi roz to hame roz yeh trip karna chahiye (winks)
B is disgusted , wants her hands back... nope!
JW: Paani ya kuch peeogi
B: NO!
JW: Food? (to distract her)
B Mmm mmm shakes her head, resting back...eyes closed
JW: Want to read?
B nahi
JW: Ipod sunogi?
B: Mmm mm

JW: want to take a walk (all belted it its impossible waiting to take off, but stil to amuse her)
B: mmm mm
JW: Can I kiss u? Need you ask!? As Nike says ---- Just do it!!
Startled, face turning crimson, open eye wide and instinctively looks at his lips
B: You are crazy!
JW: i know! (looks at her deeply)
B shuts her eyes back again

Plane finally takes off, Bani squeezing the nerves and blood out of JW's hands while the plane

climbs...............
Plane reaches reqd altitude, crew gets off their seats and starts readying the meal and

refreshments................
Captain does the welcome message "sit back relax and enjoy the flight and do let us know what

we can do to make it better"
B (thinks) Can we go back so that I can get off? That wud make me feel better
They serve the 5 course meal, she refuses to eat, only drinks some orange juice after much

persuasion......
JW hungry and also sorely needing to exercise his tired fingers decides to give the meal a try.....

not too hungry himself, gives up
They turn off lights ppl start watching movies, turn on reading lightsJW helps B recline her seat

and does the same to his...............
Bani actually relaxes a lil bit and decides its not too bad afterall, cant even feel the plane move she

thinks its like a house that has a motor turned on she feels........she had washed up brushed her

teeth and gotten ready for bed
Until the plane hits a pocket of turbulence!!
It gently rocks
B eyes fly open
B: Mr Walia oh no!
JW eyes closed trying to get some sleep hismelf... "Baneee dont worry, its just bad weather"
B: aapko kya maloom aap pilot hain kya?
J has to laugh......
JW:Nahi, true, so kya kahoon, abhi gir jaayega (teasing again)
B is even more terrified "U are horrible"
JW: Baneee, its ok, please calm down, kuch nahi hoga.Rano bhi to gayi hai na, once u reach call

her and ask how she did it, talk to sahil too

B Oh haan she is going to Stuttgart tomorrow

JW (thanking is lucky stars for mentioning Rano's name) Great!
He reaches and holds her lefthand and sandwiches it between both his warmly, turns off the lite,

covers herw ith the balnket
JW:Plaese try to sleep, sweethrt, I promise hum subah Bk mein ho nge
B bluhse at the endearment but doent care to protes, closes her eyes back again
Plane steadies, B turns around and faces him, on her side, feels her body relax involuntarily and

sleep take over.....

*************************************************

JW:Tum mujhse ladne ka plan bana rahi ho kya?
B startled eyes fly open,................ sun shining thru the crack on the window..........
Her hair all tousled, JW had taken her clip off while sleeping, her right arm curved around his

chest, her head on his shoulder, pillow slipped off to her back,left arm, encircling holding his

right...
B looks at hime like "Who are YOU?"
JW:Good morning Mrs Walia we are almost there
Thats it, it works like the heart jolter thing, her color rushes back and she tries to get up
Nope again!, he deliberately curves his left arm around her waist all smiling, both facing each other

the first banter for the day begins............
B: Hum pahunch gaye? Wow! Wow! overjoyed all smile, itni jaldi?
JW: Haan short cut (amused)
B: Stop it! (digs deeper into his shoulder in revenge)
JW:Banee tumne woh books padhe Thailand ke baare mein
B:A lil bit
JW: Pata nahi books mein mention kiya hoga ya nahi but U have to kiss your husband first thing

every morning its a Thai custom... (husky, laughing, eyes twinkling........... nears her face)Her
heart begins to pound like a freight train again......he smothers her choked murmurs with his lips
as the familiar addictive taste of him begins to saturate her senses!!

Damn, Damn, Damn... why can't I be Bani Walia!?
