* little thing: hmmmmm. mmmm. mmmmm. prem made a promise to his heer that he would make her b'day a memorable one -- both day and night. and man, did he uphold this promise of his. *thinking* ya. and it was a good promise to choose to make good on too.. š
* little thing: prem in the palest pink-as-a-baby's-bottom shirt. and heer in a pale blue-as-a-baby-blanket gown. loved the gender colour switches... š
* prem-heer thing: y'know what the best prem-heer thing was today? no, silly, 'twasn't that fake kiphph! it was how prem walked close enough to heer so that when she moved, she moved right into his arms, and against his chest. *siiiiiiggggh* the first time - when he had just walked into the room - was perfect. ''heer...'', swivel (heer), bang! (heer bumping into prem), grab-hold-lock-in (prem's arms 'round heer's waist). and not just once, twice... or actually, was it thrice? š ai hai, mar jawaaan... kya baath hai.. š
* prem thing: lean and strong and smiling and ... totally like a puppy following heer's every footstep today, wasn't he? as i watched him, i suddenly wondered, just then, what it would feel like to constantly have that guy trotting behind you with dogged focus on grabbing you. 𤣠seriously! 𤣠and judging by the glowing happiness and smiles on heer's face, i figure ... it must be lovely? šš
y'know what was the most dreadful thought i had today? that when i grow up, i want to be heer... š¤£š¤£š¤£ ya, i rushed to the bathroom and scrubbed my brain in dettol!
* prem-heer thing: oh, the smile that came sliding onto prem's lips when he felt heer's fingers walk up his shoulder and down his chest... that was soooooo sweet!!!!! and y'know what was superb 'bout it? i wasn't melting down -- i was just laughing and laughing in happiness to see them soooo happy and having fun while being sooooo much in love.
it was different! i didn't hate prem-and-heer today, as prem turned around after he got his kiss from a laughing heer. nor did i feel any hatred as he back-walked her, eyes locked on her face, arms locked 'round her waist, bodies moulded together and moving as one. back towards the bed, and then toppling over. no, not today. today, i was laughing with them. with a warm happy glow in my heart. today... omg!... i nearly loved prem-heer!!! š¤£
* girls-rule-over-boys thing: while on the matter of that cheek kiss. that was no kiphph, it's true. but i must say that heer scores over prem on the getting-to-a-kiphph meter. the closest a real kiss has happened with prem was on heer's forehead.
heer's better --𤣠after all, prem's cheek is closer to prem's lip compared with heer's forehead to heer's lips! ha! if distance to kiphph was measured as 0 (best score) to big number (lousy score), then so far we have:
* little thing: wasn't it sweet how prem was in such a good and happy mood at breakfast as well?? it was all ''heer this'', and ''heer that''.
and the way the rest of his human family were shaking their heads at him glowing and stuffing himself at the table... š ai hai, mar jawaaan... ššš
and *sigh* it was such a pity that it had to end... poor guy. what a super change in expression. weakly trying to refuse food from heer's hand (and refuse heer's hand itself at one point!!! the longing with which prem looked at heer's hand as she gave him his food -- what was that??! thooooo cute! *'kay, i did just write that!*
* little thing: was it my imagination? or was everyone one at the breakfast table really carefully avoiding looking at gementor as she tried to reach vitchface? i mean, only lj knows 'bout vitchface's abortion, right? then how come everyone was looking uncomfortable? how come prem sounded a little weary when he was told mother gayatri** that he had already talked with vitchface?
but how sweetly his face lit up when heer came to the table with food... š
* little thing: so who else figured that the look on prem's face when he heard heer say rajveer, was 'cause he was reminded that heer shares secrets with the ig-idiot rather than him?
* little thing: er... so vitchface has a big old house to herself, and a husband who leaves her alone. why does she care?? and even if she does, why doesn't anyone recognise that i don't??
btw, totally loved the look of distracted irritation on nihaal's face when vitchface called to find out where he is. the actor playing nihaal did that very well!
* prem thing: ooooh, it's not enough that prem haunts heer in their bedroom, and at their home. he has to do it at office too. prem, don't be such a lovelorn phool, no? š you already have my heart -- there's nothing else you can steal from me being so much more sweet... š the way he hangs up and says to the general air that he wishes she comes home early... š hateful guy!š
* little thing: please tell me someone else has the same hysterical reaction i do whenever that ''samir-in-leather'' comes on screen?? doesn't anyone else start laughing their head off?? is it just me? do i need to see a head doctor?
the only thing that killed the laughter was that horrid background score with screechy violins and incessant drums... 𤢠when, oh when, is the background scores of movies and serials going to get better in the world?? š¤¢
* little thing: 'kay, has one of the dialogue writers gone on maternity leave or s'thing? they are going to have to stop making characters repeat senseless dialogues. some prime examples that need to stop:
heer saying ''akhir tumhey kya chahtey ho?'' to ''samir-in-leather'' and giving him yet another chance to clarify ''money?''. making him sound funny at the expense of her looking stooopid.
gementor thinking ''i know that heer is your world. but i'm going to use worldiness to separate the two of you. and then nothing will come between me and you.'' š¤¢
* little thing: y'know? i had thought the whole prem-giving-heer-a-ring thing was totally random. and today, they give me a reason for why it was done. wonderful. that was soo... not cool! i mean, other than that flashback with prem's beautiful face saying ''prem ki nishani'' to heer's beautiful face, of course... š
i was yawning at the ''gimme the ring!'', ''nehiiiiin!!!!!!'', ''gimme!!!!'', ''oh fine! whatever'' conversation. totally boring, totally tired ... totally hoping it's something that will be a rarity in the show... š¤¢
* little thing: i also wish they'd stop making heer sound like a toughie in front of ''samir-in-leather'' one moment. and like she's going to pieces the moment he steps away. š
* little thing: but i found the entire heer-ig-idiot conversation interesting.
he actually had a plainclothes guy tail heer?? and record their conversation??! then doesn't that give him enough evidence to just go nail the blackmailer?? 'cause he's right -- blackmail is a criminal offence! i liked him telling her to get prem into the game. i liked how intent she was soooo intent on not doing that -- all the while giving the most inane reasons! they were -- the reasons were inane! so much so that i started thinking of what else was behind her asking for time to solve the problem herself. i also liked how he said that they'd nab the guy. and how they would talk the strategy on how to do it in the car on the way home.
* little thing: wow!!! among all of the possible hotels in ludhiana. at all the possible times in the day. prem had to be passing by when heer steps into ig-idiot's car. š¤£š¤£š¤£
hmmm.! *wondering if i should start making of list of things that kdmhmd has done that is ''typical soap scene''. š*
* big thing: wasn't that prem waiting for heer, and greeting her scene totally interesting??
so wasn't it interesting how obvious prem and heer are in their respective roles as interrogator and liar? i mean, prem is obviously interrogating her. and heer is obviously lying. it is as obvious as the fact that the earth goes 'round the sun. and yet? neither of them actually calls the other on it!
prem starts the interrogation -- but doesn't finish it. and heer, knows she is being interrogated -- but doesn't ask why. that was new to me; this prem-heer dynamics. i figured it deserved some thought. this is what came to my mind.
heer: doesn't it feel like she knows that gementor's behind it?? i mean, c'mon. this is the girl who said she was not going to allow gementor to pay the blackmailer anymore without talking to prem. and she suddenly switches her stand?
there could be two reasons: 1. heer knows gementor's behind it! and she knows if prem finds out, it would shatter his world -- to think that gementor is trying something so very weird that can only end up in trying to harm prem and heer together! and heer will do anything to keep this from him -- to prevent him getting hurt. 2. er... the earlier heer's belief 'bout blackmailers was a scripting blooper!𤣠much along the same lines as the kind of poop that prem used to think in his mind how ''the juneja's are eating up all his money'' in his am-i-or-am-i-not-hip-hop prem days. š¤£
i also think this could fit well with heer's beseeching ig-idiot to keep the cops out of the matter, no? that she doesn't think that the problem is prem's past?
*sigh* i could be jumping the gun, of course. maybe this secret will come out with the ig-idiot's investigating the blackmailer? *sigh* i wish not... i can't imagine the heer who dealt with ratpal and hip-hop fitting well with the heer of today. *sigh*
prem: i figure that prem is actually trying to make up for what he did to heer as hip-hop. i mean, let's not forget. he actually stayed away from her after the blast -- when she was expecting him to come and marry her, celebrate her b'day with her, be there when ratpal was attacking their family. that was such a huge lie! and when i thought 'bout it, compared to that lie of prem's, nothing that heer is lying about even begins to compare. and maybe prem knows that. so he is dying to ask her what she is keeping from him -- but he can't! when he was keeping secrets, heer coaxed and manipulated his secret out of him. but it was finally his to tell. maybe he thinks he owes her the same?
'cause that's what seems to come through the next ''prem scene'' where he is wondering, and thinking, and then making plans to ''win heer's confidence over'', no? so sweet of him. but he ''owes'' heer. purely in that prem-heer-are-one way. that is different from anyother love story that we have ever seen before way. somehow, i found nothing offensive or depressing in this scene. prem and heer have always surprised me in how they take their story forward. i'm gonna keep the faith that they're going to do it again. after all, they are prem. and his heer. and prem-heer-are-one prevails! š
but i admit -- it was a really strange new place to see prem-and-heer from, no? that interrogation thing. felt ... strange. but satisfying - 'cause both are such prem-and-heer-ish things to do, no? anything for each other?? duffers... if only they'd talk to each other. š
* prem voice thing: āŗļø go ahead and laugh. āŗļø but i loved his voice when prem said ''hi, good evening''. and i loved the way he said ''one for heer ma'am as well. and oh, don't book return tickets.'' āŗļø ai hai, mar jawaaan... š¤£āŗļø
hmmmm! w&w, people! w&w! i wonder where they're going with this. me? i had a dream in one of those twilight moments of my mind. towards the end of a late night music recital, when my mind was drowned in the beauty of the music, floating freely in between completely random thoughts. i suddenly had a vision of a tragic, dramatic end to this whole gementor avataar of mother gayatri**. i thought i'd write it up in the weekend's wtf -- maybe i will still write it up and make it a wtf (wednesday thoughts feature) instead of a wtf (weekend thoughts feature) �
highlight of the episode: oh, no question! that prem-smile that slowly played on prem's face as heer played her fingers on him from behind. and then the way they were moulded together, while he walked her backwards onto the bed... that was a total ph-*-oooooooooh moment. *please, don't ask for the full form of that -- i don't think it's permitted on a pg-13 phorum... āŗļø*
** mother gayatri: doesn't that sound like a good term for gayatri-mom just now? not as sweet as gayatri-mom? and not as much of a gone case as gementor? š
