When it came to today's episode, all I could think was Heer running through the desert like a maniac...toward a Prem, that may, or may not be there...and so...

'twas something brilliant - that start of the sequence that finally led to prem, no? 😍

She can not, run away from her commitment to Prem's family because she promised Prem that she would fulfill his duties unto them....but she also promised her Prem that she was HIS....and would always remain so - until her dying day. When did our Heer learn to be so Prem-like? When did she become so courageous?

i've always thought that one thing common between heer and prem is their insane level of commitment. the other thing common between heer and prem is the priority in which they are insanely committed -- first to each other's happiness. and then to the happiness of "their own". heer would abandon her sister to save prem's wealth and happiness. prem would abandon his father to save heer's heart and reputation. heer is willing to sacrifice herself to make sure prem's life is complete. and here, she wins over prem - who apparently would kill himself than live a day without heer.... advantage heer, i think. in fact, the first time she ever talks about giving up is what you wrote below.

"...Mar toh sakti hoon... " ...and with those words, she takes off towards her death...towards, her Prem...because undoubtedly...wherever her destiny would lead her now, Prem would be there...

As for RR's "chetavani" to Heer - what was that, really? A warning? Pardon me if I wasn't shaking in my boots...

heh heh heh... thinking that it deserves a clap on the shoulder rather than a pardon... 😆

But, I can't help but think now that the pindaan was undoubtedly for Sanjana...either Sanjana is his sister, or, he loved Sanjana just as she loved Prem...which is it? Only time will tell...

y'know .. i keep thinking it's not sanjana 'cause (like i told triv in the 15-18 dec bt,lt) i always thought ratpal was gunning for lalit juneja.... but then, i'm rarely right 'bout such things, so i'll shut up... 😆

Anyhow, after a few precious minutes wasted on an unworthy RR, the brilliance of today finally began as we saw Heer running into the unknown...towards the moon...towards her Prem...

'kay, i read this. and i got kinda creeped, kinda shaken. why? 'cause it's like you had written out exactly what was on my mind... just that you said it all much better! lady pari. are you one of those mind-readers? how could you and i be this much in agreement??! everything that you said about the background score. what you said about heer's feelings. so much of what i felt as i saw it that i got unnerved reading this... 😲😊.. like this:

But then, all of the sudden, the music picks up, and you can't help but think that she's running towards something...other than a dark abyss....

too right! that music was soo telling us a different story from the hopelessness that was driving heer towards the storm! although, i didn't quite agree with:

The look on Heer's face as she finally reached the top of that dune and looked out towards the moon was one of utter defeat and let down...she looked so very deserted (no pun intended)...as if her Prem had, at last, abandoned her...

i agree she looked deserted. but i didn't think she felt that prem had abandoned her - she has prem with her forever. she thinks that she can call him back whenever she needs him. why else did she beseech the moon, the stars, the winds around her , if she felt abandoned? me, i thought it was more like -- " 'kay, prem's gonna take a little more time than he thought to get back from his bloomin' alvida trip. i can deal with things while he's away. uh... okay, this ratty problem i can't deal with. yooohoooo! young mr. jun-ey-ja! need some help here! get back right this minute!!" um.. no? doesn't work for you? 😆 seriously. heer has always, will always have prem. (i think) she may feel alone, but not abandoned. (if that doesn't make sense, .. don't blame me.. blame the late hour!)

For the first time, we saw her actually talking to the moon this time, because her Prem didn't materialize like he always had in the past...other than the fact that it wasn't Heer's voice,the performance, was agonizing...

actually, heer always talks to the moon. for some reason, the moon's her prem-proxy.. 😆 and i agree, the agony in ag's face offset the fact that it was not her voice. it was powerful.


A moment of silence to commemorate this moment?

*cough, cough* sorry, the person whose irrelevant sounds filled the air was me... but *sulking big time* it's all the forum's fault! i was imagining the amount of drooling and sighing and *thudding* that would be happening all over the world at this point and i couldn't help myself... i actually looked up newspapers to see if the earth moved off her trajectory with the moon for a moment... and y'know what? i think i did see a small article 'bout it! i should dig it out of my archives and post it, i think....

🤣

A musafir....

musafir. traveller? nomad? that's new... somehow i've always thought prem to be the most non-wandering sort ever. he has always been rooted to his home, his family, his ... oh. his heart. there's a thought. no matter how much physical prem has been rooted to one home, one hearth, his soul, his heart has always been searching for his partner, his heart-beat. so earlier prem was searching but was content to remain in one spot and allow his love to come to him. now, he's actually out there seeking her out! hmm......! what a lovely thought... musafir prem... 😍

Another moment of silence please...for...ISS Desh Mein...Hai Meraa Dil..........................

i admit, this one was striking - you have my moment of silence. although it was my pcp who had to point it out to me... i was still recovering from the thrill of prem coming when heer demanded him to come to her! seriously... still tingling from that one...

and again...in the male voice this time, "ISS Desh Mein...Hai...meraa dil..."

there you go, being uncanny and reading my mind - i totally loved the switch from female to male vocals here!!

"Milne jo likheya...hai taqdeer ne....Milne jo likheya...hai taqdeer ne,
Jud jaane tukde...tooti tasveer ke...Jud jaane tukde...tooti tasveer ke...

Ishq Ishq Rab Hai Rab Rab Hai Ishq Ishq Rab Hai...
Ishq Ishq Rab Hai Rab Rab Hai Ishq Ishq Rab Hai...

Ishq da rutba sabse ooncha...khoon se apne, pyaar ko seencha...

Ishq Ishq Rab Hai Rab Rab Hai Ishq Ishq Rab Hai...
Ishq Ishq Rab Hai Rab Rab Hai Ishq Ishq Rab Hai...

Ishq da panchi jaan gavave....Ishq ke bin par kuch nahi khave...
Ishq Ishq Rab Hai Rab Rab Hai Ishq Ishq Rab Hai..."

'kay. i'm a real dork with lyrics -- i never get the words of a song. translation, please? if it's not too much of a pain?

yes, you DID see correctly - his face DOES slightly turn towards her hand - as if wanting to be caressed by it....😳

😆 y'know? one thing that we always do right -- we see what these two do correctly, don't we? i mean, with that much intensity of focus, do we ever miss a thing??? 😆

by now, you should know I'm going to ask for another moment of silence to reflect on the beauty of the scene......

got this one too... 😊

('kay. gonna have to break this post -- continued below.... if.com does hate me!!! 😭)

The first thought that comes to mind...why did the musafir Prem leave her there - even if he didn't know who she was. Why would he just leave her in the middle of the desert like that? A question that may go unanswered....

oh! i thought it was one of those interesting metaphorical camerawork arrangements! luckyluv asked this question in the 15-18dec bt,lt -- lemme cut and paste here:



totally loved your description of heer's desperation -- told you before, saying it again -- i sometimes marvel at the sheer honesty of your writing. i couldn't bring myself to revisit the brilliance of that moment, 'cause i found it so personally painful.

"Jaanam, dekhlo...mit gayi dooriyaan - main yahaan hoon yahaan hoon yahaan hoon...yahaan..."

this was also a cool song... loved the way the entire background goes quiet and the melody of this starts... wonder where this is from..

...and Her Prem wraps his arms around her, just as tightly.

he better have! 😡😆

Finally, reluctantly, Heer eases her grip on Her Prem, but only to take Prem hands into her own...oh how she had missed those hands....but more importantly, how Heer Hands had Missed Prem Hands...oh it was So good to see their fingers mingling and playing again....(E, if you're reading this, undoubtedly, today's hand chem pics belong in the phandooh at, don't ya think? - to commemorate the day, of course!)...at long last, Heer Hands held Prem Hands...

i'm reading, i'm reading, i'm dreaming, already dreaming... 😍

And we hear, one last time today, "ISS Desh Mein Hai...Meraa Dil..." as Heer again, clutches on to her Prem for dear life....

A Prem, that RR soon makes her see, was merely a figment of her imagination. *sigh*...yes, unfortunately for Heer, and for us, This Prem was simply Heer's imagination, yet again. For, if he had been, the same raat wala Musafir Prem, he would have had his "na ghar hai na thikana" wala bag with him...and he would have recognized Heer to be the same girl he had "rescued" on the dunes the night before...and he would NOT have returned that oh so tight hug...(ahem...right?)....

ahem.... wrong!! 🤣 musafir prem, searching for his soul-mate and not return her hug?? hoi nahi sakta. seriously. nope. i mean, did prem hands not hold heer hands even after heer shouted at prem for not being fair to his hotel employees? no, no, no! their heads may not agree. but their body parts? much more sensible... *nodding sagely*

🤣

And just as she collapses for a second time, screaming out "PREM....".....
He materializes...
A Moment of Silence again please...simply because, HC is BACK....Prem, is BACK!

*mmmffffppppphhhh* sorry! can't, just can't. and you don't even have to bother -- i'm hitting myself on the upside of my head... but seriously, after fighting against the gust of wind that came out from the collective sighs of all the female population sighing when he came out amongst the tents, i couldn't be silent -- i just couldn't! 🤣

As he looked on then, while RR and SS dragged her away, I couldn't help but wonder if he recognized her as the girl that he had encountered on the dunes the night before. I couldn't help but think that he had to be even the least bit intrigued by who she was, what she was doing alone on the dunes the night before, and why, those men where dragging her away now. Indeed...he just HAD to be intrigued....right? Wasn't that intrigue that was written all over his face as he looked on...or inquired about her/them....?

hmm... once again, smitha (sshekar, who is also btw the owner of the phrase w&w - wait & watch) asked this in the bt,lt to which i replied:



also i think that locals will just clam up against you, and become unhelpful if you ask too many questions -- so it's not generally done to do so. *shrug* kinda works for me. it's not that he didn't want to. it was just not ... the opportune time?

I don't know why, but I just LOVE the way he said "Dhanyavaad bhaisaab" at the end of part two today...hm, perhaps it was simply good to hear his voice again...

😆 yeah, it is a rather nice voice... 🤣

I will not say that AG stole the show today, because with HC back as Prem, how can anyone else steal the show,

me? i say that she owned the show -- she didn't have to steal it 'cause it was all hers. just like prem is all hers, and she so brilliantly demonstrated it today. hc was her ... jewel. but she was the sole one shining. mho.

Last, but not least, I can not describe how it felt to see HC back as Prem today...it felt as though a battle has finally been won...finally, E's "WFP" comes to an end, as he has returned, AND HOW!

*sigh* yes, wfp=42 days, right from october 2. right in the middle of exam week that too, thank you very much. although i must say, i did like watching six episodes back to back -- what a brilliant set it was to watch too! as you say - kudos to the whole lot of them. they have moved heaven-and-earth in the show to bring prem back, and it showed, and it was all good!

PS: Ahem...phew...hadn't done that in a LONG time....I think I outdid myself in length today...really....sheesh....sorry, and THANK YOU, for bearing with me...hope it was somewhat enjoyable...

yeah, you did. do it again, soon? 🤗 welcome back, pari... what a re-entry - just like prem! 😆
