Indi di am planning on spamming this thread so please bear with me here.

My first hours of peace and freedom in what seems like a very long time I have just spent watching this episode so that I could be intoxicated in the feeling and come talk. All your edits are beyond compare, but I am compelled to talk about them in this one. Sanaya's expressions as she portrayed Khushi here. Her bewitching eyes, hopeful gaze, as she ducked and searched for the coins there was not one bit of self consciousness which women have these days. And Barun.. Rueful and mesmerized. .. How does one manage to look at another person this way, specially when someone just an instant earlier may have yelled "Action".. (Assuming that is what the director does in TV shows as well like in the movies).

Love the way you designed the edit. No idea what went on in that creative head of yours, but to me the splash of red in the background of black and white looks perfect..

The center shot where they are both kneeling and his hand is over her head. The look so young. how did that manage to get the posture this way? The body structure I felt conveyed how young they both actually were. A newly wed couple on the day of their first holi. She gets up excited on Holi and talks to herself. he gets to hear. Actually getting to know each other now that they stay together.

Today when I saw these minutes I was almost choking back tears. They were untouched by the world here. I desperately wish they don't have to grow up. Be responsible. Be worldly. Let her be this super cute beautiful crazy girl and he this irresistible brusque intelligent caring unconventional young man.

what's your colour:
episode 206




holi morning is here.

khushi in her true crazy self, sanka, is talking in her sleep. i am looking at the girl sleeping by the poolside, blissfully unhampered by her predicament, planning fun merrily even in her sleep. so very endearing.

and if i may say, so damn needed.

as our world standardizes and loses flavour and colour, as all of us are so busy being "right", being perceived as being correct all the time. as how we are seen becomes more important than who and how we are... as we lose touch with ourselves, i know i sound doomy and gloomy, but posturing and being perceived a way rather than being who we really are is entering our genes sometimes i fear... I swear I needed to meet you earlier. Still not too late..

the image above all else.

in this world, i think we really need a khushi. so very human. she would have charmed a whole cave, men would refuse to go hunting and gathering i bet.

a little nutty. not always right. fighter, spirited, heart in the right place. head sharp enough but always somewhat floaty, kyunki tumhara dimaag jo pehle se hi itna kharab hai... because your brain which is damaged already, can't let it get damaged any more. only she could have gotten a man to feel so giddily and utterly tender and loving, even when he thought she was christine keeler's guru, home wrecker, lying conniving bad five letter word.

but that screw loose brain of hers and that never wrong heart of hers, that had him feeling stuff no one could make him feel.

essential to khushi this crazy clean quotient. essential it is to asr falling for her too. this used to touch him. this was believable... every time. that a hardened man would suddenly respond to this character... there was spike in her. needed if one is to cleave that thick faraq nahin padta fortress and break down barriers of mistrust and cynicism. her aap shut ups, her crazy oh i didn't get orange juice that's why, her sitting quiet in a ditch counting the minutes, her popping out of cupboards, her chakki pisseeeng. all made a mark. and her innocence, her cleanness of heart. he could never fight that. her clear eyed fact facing, her gutsiness.

if she were just a sweet "good" girl he might have felt protective toward her but he wouldn't have fallen for her, gorgeous head over sexy heels. lagi shart? 👍🏼

as the scene unfolds i am thinking, she tries to find her own way through things. even hell. in minutes from now: hamare saath jo bhi ho raha hai, whatever is happening with me right, today they will get resolved. an upbeat, let me take you on life attitude. i like.

and she is instinctive. not always thinking with her grey matter, but thinking with her heart and gut. this is valuable. we are losing this all around us. too much of so called rational thinking, too little of dil.

i can't explain how much it hurt when it was decided it was okay to let this lovely character go and become "good".

"uthja khushi aaj holi hai... kitna kuchh karna hai," get up khushi today is holi... there's so much to do.

she talks away.

he awakens.

"thandai... tel lagana hai..." must make thandai... have to put oil...

"rang? sabke liye rang bhi toh kharidne hai..." colour? must buy colour for everyone. she laughs.


"what the..." he is grouchy. they both are in such an impossible situation. maybe sleep is the only time when there's respite from a most painful reality.

"amma babu ji ke liye hara," green for amma and babu ji, declares holi girl.

he's listening..

"bua ji ke liye sandhi... jiji ke liye neela, devi maiyya ke liye laal," buaji has a colour (i don't know what that word means), payal will get blue and dm gets red. ah so she is thinking of dm, though she as we know is not talking to her. yeah, what the, just because you're god, don't think i have to be nice to you... in fact i hate you. you have done this to me. so asr hates kkg who hates dm. something so natural in that anger against her goddess whom she loves and trusts with everything.

in the bedroom, he is getting lost in this thing as he realises what's happening.

"aur hamara? hmm..." and mine? hmm.

he begins to smile. hansa toh phansa, i think... smile and you're caught.

"hamara rang hoga.. peela!" my colour will be yellow.

he's melted. ❤️

holi hai! she wakes up laughing, happy, all woes forgotten.

a very husky "paagal" as sanka realises where she is...

he must have been so happy to see her as she really is after so so long. he goes back to bed.

creatives always used the festivals well. never too heavy handed, somewhere using the essence of each occasion to take the story further. forgiving and forgetting is a part of holi. also if i am not mistaken. with the burning of holika it's as if the past mistakes are driven away, making way for the new, the future. plus of course this is the beginning of spring. winter's chill clears and makes way for sunshine. for birth and rebirth.

"kyunki bura na maano holi hai" don't mind, it's holi! khushi yells out the familiar holi call.

"shut up, khushi!"

back to nasty... for effect, bas. **thud**

"unbelievable!"

"kisse baat kar rahi ho tum?" who are you talking to?

"khud se, aur kisse!" to myself, who else.

i feel for asr. khadoos humourless man, always carrying the burden of the world on his perfect shoulders... poor baby. what does he know of sublime sanak.

"paagal ho gayi ho kya?" have you gone mad?

she smiles, "bachpan se," from childhood.

weird almost besotted grimace, "right."

"aap ko pata nahin tha?" you didn't know? she pushes. she wants something from him alright... because she knows her heart trips madly when he's around even though he has been so utterly mean and awful.

he is dying to laugh. how can you hate such a lunatic?


"aap ke liye rang chunne mein bilkul bhi waqt nahin laga, aap ko pata hai kaunsa? kala." took no time to choose a colour for you, she teases, black.

he is ready to hit her.

she runs off on a giggle, he gets up on a snarl, but his eyes, they just want her. so much.


a most poignant moment comes later, when he lowers himself to her level as she searches for her coins under the bed. and then just has to reach out and protect her head when she is about to bang it on the edge of the bed. to perfect this scene, there's humour, gussa, and all those things they say with their eyes which you can feel even when you aren't watching, just remembering them.

isn't that how love should be?
Absolutely. And now that you have said it am not settling for anything else. bas.

she breaks her gullak, piggy bank, after apologising to it, of course. she was collecting money for a gotewala saree when she turned 25? aw, buy the girl one of those right now, i say.

she drops some coins on the floor.

crawls and checks under the bed.

he walks in on cue, lost in a file. steps on piggy bank bits.

picks up piece... what?

sees her, head thrust under bed.

sits down by her... staring... what now. there's this gentle quizzical air about him. something so delicate in this frame.

she comes up jubilant with a coin, sees him and her smile freezes. a touch of comedy all through, but a deep tenderness in all of it too.

"toh tum mujhse chhup rahi thi..." so you were hiding from me. he is obviously flummoxed by this ostrich behaviour.

"haan?"

indeed.

"kyunki tum shayad haar gayi," maybe because you lost so you are embarrassed.

nothing like that, she explains about the coins and dives back under the bed to retrieve coins.

his hand stretches out to shield her from getting hurt.

she looks back at his hand, heart stopping pause.

"tum koi kaam theek se nahin kar sakti kya? sar par chot lag jaati toh?" can't you do anything right? if you'd hurt your head?

he has to yell. concern, love, his own awkwardness at all his crazy feelings.

she's surprised... as she comes up, rabba vey fades in.

he looks at her, she is helpless in the surge of an unknown feeling that has just walked in uninvited.






he turns away, withdraws his hand, seeks his anger, his "couldn't care less", "faraq nahin padta".

she fixes her dupatta, looking down, a bit lost... touching her confusion, her yearning for what she thought might happen between them. he looks at her.


then she asks a khushi like question, there's no one here other than us, then why did you do that? direct..head on..like diwali

he cuts in, a rough edge to his voice, a need to shut her up, because the real answer he just can't give, "kyunki tumhara dimaag jo pehle se hi itna kharaab hai, usse aur kharab nahin hone de sakte."

sounded like i adore you, i want you so bad, i can't let you be alone any more.

and her gaze and words seemed to say, if you like me so much why are you avoiding me.

one could only sigh and just keep staring at the two. so much tenderness and longing, all communicated through the eyes, and little notes in the voice.
❤️

then came the lovely encounter over 300 rupees.

"aap ke bhasha mein kya kahte hain... loan," what do you cal it in your language... loan. said she, all perky and i can crack this problem like.

"oh, loan," the look on his face. what the..and the inflection in his voice. I was watching with my husband and even he seemed impressed.

her "busines business khelna" and little promissory note, followed by his resigned, "thank you," were just too good.

"ladki mujhe pagal kar degi," the girl will drive me mad he muttered, sounded as though he invited the predicament with open arms.

where did they find this tenderness?

that was his colour today surely.



where are these guys.

nani ji is upset. her holi box with pichkari waits. no doubt khushi who talks to goats seriously will find a way to appease her.


episode opened on snake and the one he has charmed... anjali. every word of hers riled him. he was going to do something about khushi ji. and finally he walked in wearing white, kaala of heart, red on his hand.

apparently he will be the first to put colour on khushi. she froze, then found a way to vanish in the nick of time. but not before two very angry eyes had seen the whole thing. eyes that turn to puddles when she does crazy things. eyes she can't look into and not feel her heart race. but for now, his gaze is fixed on a cretin. gussa reddens the air. let's play holi.


Hope its okay me highlighting and commenting Indi di. Yesterday I saw diwali stuff and today holi.. uff..

I wasn't part of the BFTP threads when you posted this originally so wanted to grab this opportunity dono hotho khule baho se.. I had been reading your takes without joining IF. thanks to Durga who had listed out your index.. But when I started reading your holi posts is when I knew I had to join this forum and talk to you. So now you know why I get so talkative..

Beautiful episodes and a beautiful take. Thank you so so much for this treat.

Happy Holi again..awesome update...having all the epis together



These epis are gems and reliving these moments are just too precious.

He smiles first time seeing her talking to herself in sleep planning all for Holi and he wants to get her close to him after finding out the color for him she has chosen just to punish her and but make him satisfied...She can'tbe angry for a long and he can't be away from her...either


Then the very same guy who threw her out of his room is taking his cloak out and his protective instincts wake up for saving her from getting hurt...THIS IS HIS RIGHT ...he had that and never gave up on it.

..She asked him why is he doing all when there is no one seeing them like Anjali or else...his vulnerability has been exposed ...turns around to defy it as always...tumhara dimag phele hi se jo itna kharab hai...walks away but his Jiajaji makes him halt to repossess his RIGHT...oh the look...uff

He smiles seeing her smiling and playing all along with everyone...his family has just accepted her...All is well in her land at least ...because he can't live seeing her crying.

Then he strides in to claim what is his in front of the whole world...he puts sindoori color on her ...it is not night but he the whole world found it under the sun and that makes her come forwad to touch him, claim what is hers...HER RIGHT TO TOUCH HIM...To play around with him, to tease him...and she does..she tricks him into Bhang to make him say what she wants to hear all along...and that does its magic...He accepts his love in front of Anjali and Nani...and makes her smile because of him...his WISH to see her smiling because of him...that gives her enough courage to cup his face and ask"Asia kyuon haota hai..."

ANd he answers the most innocent question ever...in the most honest way...

Two hearts become one...Evil couldn't do anything to stop right under his nose..

Dhakanain eik ho gayen...and she declared in front of evil to mock him...you couldn't do a thing and regardless Arnavji did what he did but our hearts in it together...

rhea,

how well you describe that. i really was not thinking anything when i made the edit, just went with the flow. but what you say, so well, that was perhaps what drove me. indeed two really young people, untouched.

sanaya and barun, despite all the real world pouring around just outside the frame, could create such precious and rare moments that one had to just stop dead in one's track and stare.

i started watching ipk like that. it was the diwali poolside. a girl in red, a boy in a suit, a look in their eyes. i almost stopped breathing.

if there was an unimpinged sensuality at the poolside, here there was flowing need and tenderness. both had the untouchable element of youth. the feeling of a young unbridled colt and a filly running through wide open fields, graceful and spirited, part of creation, nothing cultivated or curbed in them.

in a tiny set, often very tacky, they emoted this. you could almost literally touch the sky with that feeling.

holi was five days of such desperate hope in me, i had to do this when the next holi episode days came along, when there was no ipk any more.

i love the way you described them, especially him, brusque, intelligent, caring... and her sanak was of the purest kind.

precious people they had conjured. and look at that acting... the innocent khushi asking, di is not here so why did you save me. and later his, yeh ladki mujhe pagal kar degi, so completely flummoxed by sanka attack and totally loving.

i loved the "thank you" when she thrust the note into his hand, his look said whatever. one could sense why these two were so smitten with each other. and had to fall for it. and when i see cyn and kate here for so long, i know even language was no barrier...

the rang maker: episode 207




i could have kissed shyam on his lying snout today. ???? what a man. how well he chooses his moments. how utterly he fails and yet he succeeds and brings us moments most divine.

what would we do without shyam twitching and saying he needs to put holi gulal on khushi ji.

what if he hadn't.

what excuse would the writer have come up with for asr to veer all the way from i hate you to "pati jo hoon," husband that i am, with my right to put gulal on my bride first.

no shyam, i will not curse you today. evil has always had its uses. you have yours. i only feel bad that a character with the potential to have a real story, became meaningless in a tale. that's all. and abhaas thought he was doing a brill job perhaps, but no, it just wasn't really so.

a lovely interpretation of holi, the day of colour, to explore all the shades of a feeling. today, floating light red to deep red its colours in focus. colour became the metaphor for their love i felt. if on diwali, the darkest night, a searing flame of overwhelming awareness had come into being and an exploding attraction split the night... then today, on this spring day, another side of love came to visit.

it was all about the heart and its erratic beat... and diwali about the gut and its visceral stirrings.

there they were man woman... sexual, sensual, predatory.

here, boy and girl, gorgeous, loving, exciting, embracing.


oh there was something animal in it too, a marking of territory by a man pushed to the edge, and the wonder filled acceptance of this claim by a girl who so wanted him to be her churi giver, her bindi giver, her eternal lover. yes that is what made it even more special.. that she wanted it to be him.. that and a billion other reasons describable, indescribable that made this moment divine.

krishna coloured radha in his rang, his colour, on this day. i wasn't there to see it. but i was here when asr reached out with flaming red gulal in his hand, a flagrant rampant right, haq, in his eyes, below that a tender melting question, to streak khushi's cheek. something ethereal in the act.

once... twice the red went on, the colour of love was on her.

and she looked with bemused eyes only to return this feeling with her nervous yet eager hands, her eyes full of questions and a certain wonder.

nani ji had to say the most significant thing that could be said, love melts huge mountains, this is but our little one, our chhotey.

but today really was all about that which cannot be said or found words for, a feeling that floats in bursts of gulal misting the air, in the sound of the drums, the touch of fingers, the looks of bewilderment, the locking of gazes and the silences that murmur sweet love.

if shyam brought two lovers together, his wife was instrumental in making them step right up to each other and she made sure khushi was united with her family. anjali loved her brother and knew in khushi's happiness somewhere lay her brother's peace of mind, his joy.

she called bua ji and garima ji over for their daughters' first holi... a break with norm, for she wanted then all to meet and reconcile and blow away the bad blood created during the wedding.

when garima ji and buaji demurred she urged them to forgive and forget. for khushi, her mother's embrace was like life returning to her bothered heart. how complete her hug, and garima too so relieved she can express love for teh one she loves perhaps more than herself.

later, when anjali's brother might have walked away after making his claim, she pushed him to take the step he must take... you can't leave this way today, she said, a tone of authority in her voice, a spirited woman in evidence, not the snake's charmed one... he listened to her as always, but perhaps his heart really wanted to anyway, which is why he had to refute nani ji's words with a it's nothing like that. she and nani were so happy for the young couple today.

the family was as key to holi as were the lovers. for the two of them the family was always most important. on diwali everything happened without anyone's knowledge. today, the barriers fell before all. love was ready to come out perhaps. that night it needed the seclusion of tumultuous attraction, a thing you only share with the other. such a lovely thought. (wish the kiss had missed my sweet mano's, bless her sensible skin, hawk eyes and was not included in her gushing cooky sangeet song. ooh I had forgotten all about that. yes yes yes.. somethings should be just between the two of them.)

frame by frame the creatives worked with love and style and understanding to give us pure fascination. there was the colour of love, the air of possessiveness, laughter and joy, and even a note of danger, all balanced perfectly to a heady concoction. even before khushi ran to fix bhang i was drunk and teetering with joy. me too

earlier in the day, the gullak broke and said, enter the magic. soon the bhang will take away the restrictions of rational thought. thoughts that make our anger create walls. instead love will flow, through all the resistance. liquids reach places solids never can. love seeps in where anger cannot enter.

she made friends with her family, there too love had its way. then in the most charming way ever she pacified nani ji. khushi needs family, everyone to be happy, for festivals to mean something. and she's determined today her world will come back to normal. ohh for the burs of positive energy, the vitality.. no wonder devi maiya had to answer her prayers today

is there any other actress i know who could have pulled off that nana ji dance quite so charmingly? she was fun, cute, loving, and absolutely endearing... sanaya looks years younger than her age and she moves like a gazelle, light on her feet, her arms flow lissome and smooth, her smile reaches her eyes...for a moment you forget this is a show, it is a young woman doing all she can to make someone she loves feel better, her grand mother in law. had anyone else done it I might have grimaced at the show being put on, but Sanya was brilliant and breathtaking as Khushi in the white nanaji kurta, and the yellow gota churidar.

nani ji perhaps saw a lot of herself in khushi. and khushi perhaps sensed, this was a great role model, some day she'd like to be like nani ji when she's old. just my little mutterings to self i share.

it all started with a lovely family sequence. great acting all around. bua ji's apology may have been in that yellow colour she rubbed on kkg's face. a strange bond the two share, sanka devi is part of bua ji's heart. perhaps that's why so much anger she feels if the girl does anything wrong. yes keen sense of understanding. we almost feel responsible for our loved ones. want them to be right. want the world to see them at their best.

ajeeb indeed is love. and how it makes us ponder. why hate isn't hate, why you are not my own is you can't be anyone else's but mine.

to appease nani, comes missy in a turban as nana ji. i am so reminded of another time and a very handsome actor called balraj sahni wooing his simpering shy biwi, achala sachdev, oh a grand tale told by a grand film maker. waqt.

humri gulabo... khushi and sanaya are both a scream and fantabulous in this scene to use sohara's word. bas.

"khushi? kaun khushi? kaheki khushi...?"

he enters frame from left, head tilted, eyes a little narrowed, looking at the spectacle. he's wearing a white shirt. the faintest smile on his lips. paagal she is, and he adores her for it. I am fresh here after seeing this episode. I was drowning in those eyes. They had a whole different look today. And he is thin I think. That looks nice on him. Amazingly good. And the shirt, jeans, his stature as he appears a little relaxed yet dashingly aloof from the cloud. How good is he? Both his and Khushi's look was perfect and the actors looked too good to be true today. In fact no amount of designer clothes and extravagant Bollywood sets could have made any other pair of actors even come close.


she's going nuts. i have to repeat... is there any other actress i can think of who can look so sylph like in a moustache or so lovely, so nutty and so sexy... plus she can dance.

he is definitely smiling now.



she dances with filled pichkari... about to take the risk of being royally snubbed in front of everyone.

a curtain of colour passes before his face.

"nani ji!!! holi mubarak...!" she's spraying nani with nana's pichkari.

nani looks up aghast.

tension.

"holi mubarak aapke liye hai... humre liye nahin." nani ji's terse, maybe holi mubarak for you, but not for me.

he looks tense. is he concerned for her?

she takes off her moustache.

he looks a bit sad as though feeling her disappointment. just fleeting expressions we go by Indi di on his face. There are no voice overs, I think even the music did not change for his shot. yet there is no mistaking what he wants to be conveyed. And it is still subtle, textured. not right out there or loud, but nuanced. Hidden from the world, his own emotion he lets us peep into.

she turns her face the other way.

nani stands with rigid back.

"khushi!!!"

and nani sprays her... "yeh hai humri holi!" this is my holi!

a burst of relief, joy, laughter all around and the holi music comes in...

he smiled. i think, uff, he fell again.

shyam fumes... the perfect anti-happy is he and the contrast makes the moment only richer.

heartbeats everywhere... below the colour, between the colour... of a mother, a sister, a husband and a wife, two lovers, two people meant to meet...

he smiled when he saw his nani and khushi embrace. that morning perhaps when he he heard her talking her innocent prattle in her sleep, and saw her stunning khushi smile, something melted in him... perhaps this asserted itself over the scene on the terrace he carried in his mind. then he saw her shying away from shyam. suddenly that faraq padta hai of his had hold of him it seemed. am glad they showed that and him seeing that. Such a burst of positive energy in these few days.

"khushi bitiya, bua ji ne aapko sahi naam diya hai.. sanka devi." khsuhi, bua ji has given you the right name, queen of craziness. despite all her mistakes, and her nasty words, bua ji loved this orphan child of hers, and khushi loved her right back, a funny unique bond.

nani ji said khushi had to have colour on her.

"sahi kaha nani ji aapne..." on cue said snake, right you are. oh what timing, come let me hug ya, slither.

he was about to leave. he heard shyam's voice and stayed back.

a face turned hard, jawline set, eyes became steel. that lip dragging down to the right looked more pronounced. arnav singh raizada's gussa had arrived. how dare shyam. this is his wife.

shyam approached. asr stood grappling with rising fury.

thanks to shyam asr had to feel his feelings and make khushi his in front of everyone. tell her she was his.

he started walking toward khushi.

oh that walk... face dark and determined... loping long strides. i want to watch it again and again.

shyam stood with red in hand, khushi cringed. a hand entered frame and held shyam's wrist. stopping him.

she opened her eyes, saw who was standing there... and slipped behind him. her protector he. he may hurt her, he may hate her... but he is hers and she his... some things don't have to be said. ❤️ in that look , in his gesture, in her movement, in his words I think we got something that will make us happy whenever we remember these two on holi together.. uff


lovely the way she sought him as he called out... the rock between her and any harm that might come her way... ( a thought strays in... even he doesn't know whom he was trying to protect when he married her, does he.)

"ek minute, jeeja ji... khushi ko rang main laga loonga," one minute, bro in law, i'll put the colour on khushi. nani is thrilled to hear that.

"PATI JO HOON," i am her husband, after all. "rang" in hindi has as many connotations as colour in english, if not more. there's a certain passion pulsating in its sound.

he turned and in one fluid motion, reached out to put red on her face.

the touch of colour.


on her self, her heart and her soul... I thought Sanaya's expressions were also brilliant here. Gone was the frolicking scampering happy girl. Here stood a timeless beauty in love. If he gave his all, his wife was ready to embrace and return it in that look of hers. I don't know how, but Sanaya gave an inspired performance throughout Holi.

hey hey... there seemed to come a magical connection in that sacred moment.

he had put red on her before, her sindoor... this felt as sacred, as connecting, as timeless.

he was lost in that moment too, she opened her eyes and looked at him with all her heart in her gaze. his hand rose again. the other cheek.

and in the shower of colour they stood.
vis a vis. spring awakening them.

and nani asked khushi to put rang on chhotey. he started to leave. she was in a quandary.

again it was his sister that stopped him... she won't let him go like that. he must put colour...

nani insisted.

he was looking away, but as her fingers touched his cheek he looked straight at her. rabba vey had to enter frame. I love how they showed him never shying away. Umm he may try to resist later or before, but he always let himself feel. Confident men are so rarely shown in our TV shows I feel. That he was sure of himself and yet perceptive and tender, I find very attractive in him. The whole remarriage that is the thing that made it worth it..kaun rokega mujhe?

gorgeous edit

what is in his eyes. why are my cheeks flaming? that undertow of the ocean...

they both began to turn away from each other. then he touched his cheek, her colour on it... felt like they were touching each other intimately, entangled, lying close, hands roaming, stroking, caressing, desiring, breath haywire... felt as though i should look away.



he touched her and looked back to see her. what was in his eyes. what did he want?

and she touched the place he'd put rang, her pati.

"anjali bitiya... pyaar toh bade bade paharo ko hila dete hain... yeh toh chhote hain."

"bilkul sahi kah rahe ho, nani."

the rabba vey ascended... and they looked at each other... what got said?


"aisa kuch nahin hai, di..." it's nothing like that, di, said he.

aisa kyun hota hai, thought i. nice touch that "aisa" in both their sentences. sweet..I never thought of it

he was hazy behind the phag, the powder of colour.

she touched her rang and remembered her rang maker.

and oh the slightest smile on her face. "hum bhi aap se nafrat karte hain," i also hate you, it said.


next minute she in happy sanka mode went into the next thing of holi... bhang. she apparently the queen of cannabis of lucknow with several bhang ke kisse. stories of bhang.

sanaya looked stunning in her holi churidar, very much the khushi of teda choti and mojri fame. now she's donned a colourful "bhang maker" turban along with the lingo of such folk.

"aur, bhaiya, kaisan ho," and how are you, bro, smiled the goddess of craziness, no need for no canabis sativa, thank ya.

and he watched her... hey hey... bemused... i hate you...

he had to smile at miss nut case's screw looseness.




khushi said how all dil ki baat comes rushing out after bhang, shyam appeared leering and said, then i must get you to drink some of that stuff. he makes evil face. i want to hug him and bless him... but really, must i see him on the end frame?



What a wonderful reading of the most wonderful moments ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. I love all your holi episode takes. You know whats lovely about your writing? the fun you add into it which translates to lots of fun while we read it. I did some talking above. but again this touches something so deep within and thrills and excites to such an extent that I can't really describe what I feel. Am so glad you have the gift to pen down what everyone watching this show must have experienced. of course you added in all that special completely 'indi di' insight into things as always. Thank you.

rhea,

so holi made you want to chat with me. yay. i can never ever describe the impact of holi on me. after wedding, things were going south... for the very first time in ipk. a fear used to grip my heart, really. gone. my twenty minutes of just losing myself gone, i wouuld think. then suddenly second week of march these whole flowing unfettered ipk episodes.

guess when i write holi it just has to light up. what started as nahsa, bhang like in diwali, got such a powerful affirmation in holi, i have a feeling that made me hang on no matter what.

i note i speak a lot about khushi. yeah, she was lovely, a day will come in our world when there would be no need to tie and gag her and make her trp acceptable. a time when all audiences will be fine with a girl with a heart and a sizzle and a light and unbearably fine step.

Happy Holi again..awesome update...having all the epis together



These epis are gems and reliving these moments are just too precious.

yes rare gems, that is what they are. 😳

He smiles first time seeing her talking to herself in sleep planning all for Holi and he wants to get her close to him after finding out the color for him she has chosen just to punish her and but make him satisfied...She can'tbe angry for a long and he can't be away from her...either

ufff yes yes yes.


Then the very same guy who threw her out of his room is taking his cloak out and his protective instincts wake up for saving her from getting hurt...THIS IS HIS RIGHT ...he had that and never gave up on it. how nicely you say that... his right, she is his dammit... he can throw her out, he can call heer pagal, he can chase her, he can protect her, he can even give her a loan... where are these people.

..She asked him why is he doing all when there is no one seeing them like Anjali or else...his vulnerability has been exposed ...turns around to defy it as always...tumhara dimag phele hi se jo itna kharab hai...walks away but his Jiajaji makes him halt to repossess his RIGHT...oh the look...uff

He smiles seeing her smiling and playing all along with everyone...his family has just accepted her...All is well in her land at least ...because he can't live seeing her crying. yes that was the thing all the time, no matter what he thought of her, he needed to see her as she was, smiling happy sanka devi. tell me is this love or what.

Then he strides in to claim what is his in front of the whole world...he puts sindoori color on her ...it is not night but he the whole world found it under the sun and that makes her come forwad to touch him, claim what is hers...HER RIGHT TO TOUCH HIM...To play around with him, to tease him...and she does..she tricks him into Bhang to make him say what she wants to hear all along...and that does its magic...He accepts his love in front of Anjali and Nani...and makes her smile because of him...his WISH to see her smiling because of him...that gives her enough courage to cup his face and ask"Asia kyuon haota hai..."

ANd he answers the most innocent question ever...in the most honest way... and the most sublime way therefore.

Two hearts become one...Evil couldn't do anything to stop right under his nose..

Dhakanain eik ho gayen...and she declared in front of evil to mock him...you couldn't do a thing and regardless Arnavji did what he did but our hearts in it together...



hi faiqa,

beautiful summing up of those magical days. think we will ever see such beauty again? i hope, i pray... life with all its hiccups and halts, does deserve this "mon jodano" beauty once in away. in bangla, that would i think mean, something that embraces the mind. it's so all encompassing, everything else is forgotten.
