and y'know? it's actually quite a ... tingly weekend to feature thoughts. or... is it a weekend to feature tingly thoughts? 😆 i mean... heer's been instructed to hand over a chain to prem! i mean, personally! er.. is it okay that my brains like totally bouncing all over the place, bouyed along on all the steam that is streaming out of my head??! 🤣
but first things first. i do have some non-tingly t to f. 😆
wtf #1: like it or not, my first one is about glob.
ya, i admit it. i'm obsessing 'bout this ... once-upon-a-time-a-human-thing. 'cause -- like i wrote to sumi (coolgal270) the other day, no matter how foul she seems just now, we cannot deny that she was a very important part of how prem became what he is today. *sigh*
so i think i figured it out: six years ago, glob went completely mad. cuckoo. so crazy that they had to bring a doctor in to check her out. and the doctor said that if they didn't want to lose her, they'd have to keep her calm. or worse things -- like her death -- could happen.
*sigh, just teaches you, no? that ''worse'' depends upon your pov? 'cause according to me, if she had stressed out and died, life would've been better. for everyone. for her family. for prem-heer. for us, the viewers. for her. 😔*
and the jzoo (other than maybe pbauji who knew she was pulling a fast one, and didn't do anything about it) were all afraid that she would die or s'thing. after all, when prem went ''apparently dead'', she had gone into vegetative state, no? so this time too, it would've been a real threat to all of them. and they had just lost a sister, a daughter. maybe they were all terrified they would lose a mother, a wife too.
and so, the entire family would've shifted out of india for the sake of their mother's sanity. and that would explain why the entire jzoo always acts so carefully around her all the time -- like they can't really say what they want to her. or go against her. 'cause her mind's a fragile thing and they're terrified that she will pop if they say s'thing to trigger off her insanity??
hmm. *standing back and looking at this wild story and thinking it's not that impossible to be true... 😆* at least, it's a lot better than passively and helplessly watching a once warm, interesting, mostly thoughtful family get reduced into a pile of spineless dimwits.
problem is: it still doesn't explain to me why prem left the land of his heer, with the promise that he would never return. 🤔 or was that promise just something in the glob's head?? hmmm!
wtf#2: does gi-it know that this prem-juneja-heer-juneja are the prem-heer-are-one juneja or not? i've thought and thought and thought 'bout this in the bt,lts.
and it just seems impossible that she can't know!! i mean! c'mon! the girl's normally astute and observant. but when it comes to prem and heer pheyeooh-ing/phhandoohing away to glory, it's like they have a cloaking device on so that she can't see what's happening??!
oh c'mon!!
but *sigh* of course, the intention is to have us believe she is just totally unseeing of the heavy duty prem-heer heavy breathing and loving looks. maybe that's just like they wanted us to believe that it was heer was getting married to that plane guy. but actually it was soni! no? maybe?
i dunno. i see gi-it and i can't begin to imagine she doesn't know that heer juneja is prem juneja's life. i meant, wife, of course. prem juneja's wife. 😃
wtf#3: actually it might be more interesting to see what happens with gi-it glob. this part was sparked by s'thing that triv wrote in the lsat bt,lt: that gi-it glob was rather mean to tell heer that she was her employee first and gi-it's friend next. that her livelihood -- phukda's bread&butter, her school, clothes and toys -- all came from this so-very-important job?
s'thing that glob was planning to use against heer while she was thinking of how she could destroy heer?
but here, i also think we could have a potential situation of a relationship between child and mother, which could be a super contrast to the relationship between prem and glob. where glob actually focusses first on her own happiness and prem's happiness later. perhaps, these two can be seen as one where the mother actually thinks of her child's happiness first? 🤔
wtf#4: d'you remember the outfit heer wore the day that prem and she were alone in their little chawl house? the outfit she wore the day that prem -- no undershirt... no shirt! *ehm!* -- came and bumped into her, and kinda startled her to fall into his arms? the day we call the ''soapsuds'' day?
that outfit was coloured orange-ish? or a orangish shade of yellow? we've never seen heer in that outfit other than on that day, no?
last we saw her, heer's in a sari that is yellow, no? going into jzoo to ''personally deliver a chain into prem juneja's hands''? ''on behalf of the person he is getting married to''? hopefully past glob's evil's notice?
er... what does that have to do with the orange outfit heer wore on soapsuds day? er.. what has this wtf have to do with anything sensible at all? nothing. just was s'thing i thought 'bout. and i'm featuring it... 😃
wtf#5: *sigh* 'kay, i confess! there is a certain ... anticipation i feel for the up-coming episode. and while i'm almost sure that they will fall way short of the fevered possibilities running 'round in my brain, i must also confess -- that is doing nothing to stop my brain carrying on it's frenzied activity! 🤣
so i figured: what were the most steamy situations we've ever seen in hindi cinema land? the ones that made you feel totally like you were suffocating in the clothes you were wearing?
me, i haven't seen that many hindi movies. so my list from there is quite limited. i can remember:
- shekar and lolita ''getting married by exchanging a chain'' in parineeta
- rahul and anjali ''dancing to the music in their hearts'' in kuchkuchhotahai
- salim and anarkali in mughal-e-azam where salim brushes a feather over anakarli's face, over her cheeks, her lips, to-and-fro and fro-and-to as if the feather were his fingers, his lips instead.
- prem, expressionlessly and effortlessly, moving into heer in the doorway to the outhouse where she and meher lived, until she's trapped against the wall, his face so close that she has to turn her face away so that she is not breathing into his mouth. i was sooo amazed watching him turn her challenge into his challenge in just a heartbeat...
- prem crushing heer against the wall asking her why it is that her words are saying one thing, but her breath, her heartbeats, her body is telling him something totally different! *omg, omg, omg! as always, i need a bucket of water to dunk my head in, just remembering that ''tum sochtay kuch ho, maantay kuch ho...'' moment*
- prem in wet white shirt under blue white lights walking heer backwards into a wall, his gaze never ever once wavering from her eyes, her lips. just like salim's feather, prem's eyes felt like a physical touch on heer's lips...*thud*
- prem backing heer into a wall, and listing how he loves her hair, her eyes, her lips most as he has her trapped and quivering against a wall.
- prem melting against a wall, trapped there by heer listing how much she loves his hair, his eyes, his lips...
- prem capturing heer's hands, firm and fiery even under miles of bangles, to keep her by his side, heads nestled on the side of his mother's bedside, shamelessly making love to her with his eyes...
- prem leaning into heer, trapping her against the bed, his arm around her pinning her down, his legs pinning her legs on the night of baisaakhi. prem in white, heer in blue white. on a white bed. in blue-white lights. heer's eyes were heavy lidded, and focussed only on prem's lips. prem's hair shone blue-black as it fluttered gently in the wind... and as he leaned further into her, their fingers curled fiercely into each other... *excuse me, while i go get some desperately needed ice-cold water...*
- prem trapping heer against himself in a dance on ''couple's only night''. at the end of that dance, the only real coherent question to ask was: what part of heer has prem not touched; what part of prem has heer not touched? 🤣
i sooo don't blame triv for wanting to take leave on monday. 😆 i think she should just ask for two-days leave -- for monday and tuesday -- just to be on the safe side. 😆
*next spot is reserved. need to throw a party to celebrate meher's line about glob being the only one in jzoo who will be happy with a prem-gi-it engagement...* 😆
