I woke up that day,accustomed to the dreary routine that was everyday. It was an arduous task waking up to another one of those endless classes. I mechanically went through my day and then logged into IF to check out what's happening. Scrawling from one post to another and so on and so forth... And then I laid my eyes on something that was going to make my day. Sanaya Irani's upcoming show titled Rangrasiya!! Aaah ,finally the wait is over,I exclaimed jubilantly to the empty room patiently listening to me.
I counted days then hours then minutes for December 31st to come. Having revised all the articles, news, and everything possible about the show,and after gaining my PhD in Rangrasiya from the Honorary Members of Indiaforums,even before the airing of the first episode ,I sat glued to my TV as the first episode unfolded in front of me.
And I was spellbound from the word go. The storyline,the gorgeous cinematography, the phenomenal leads and the stellar cast got me,nay,RRians hooked. And as the days passed,we were raving about every aspect of this unique and wonderful show.
But what was unique ? Why was it considered different ? What made this show stand apart from countless other shows airing on Indian television ?
It was Parvati and Rudra ,of two people who were poles apart from every aspect , fire and ice. He was her husband's murderer, she a traitor to the country he so passionately fought for. They hated the sight of each other. She did everything to rankle him and he tried his very best to break her. But something about her unnerved him,those big brown eyes were captivating him unknowingly and she was beginning to feel protected in his presence,which confused her. They fought their feelings, she accepted her's first.
Paro full of innocence and purity believed her destiny as willed by Lord Bholenath. She explored her feelings which had once confused her and then accepted it wholeheartedly. Her smile lit up the whole room,when she saw her Major saab. Her eyes sparkled,as she thought of little things she could do to help him. She savored every moment of their times spent together and contemplated on the ways she could make him smile. He snubbed her,ignored her ,shouted at her ,denied his feelings for her but she stood in front of him ,for that was the faith she had in her love. He tried hurting her with harsh words and was hurt instead.
And then one day,the inevitable happened. He shouted his love to her,filling every pore of her body with happiness and as they held each other,he felt peace like he had never known.
And, we were overjoyed for Paro,we laughed with her reveling in the happiness she felt and our hearts wept when we saw unshed tears in those glistening eyes. Her story started to become so relatable to all of us and her every stolen moment with her Major saab and every one of her antics brought a huge smile on our faces. His ways of manaofying Paro,the kisses , their moments, filled us with pleasure. PaRud was immortalized.

And today,when I write this post and trying not to think of what the future has in store ,tears start to fall,slowly at first but eventually blurring my sight... Images rush in torrent through my mind,of that smile on her face,of those sparkling eyes and the delicate reddening of her cheeks which made his heart skip a beat and all I want to do is freeze time. Freeze time for PaRud ,cocooned in the small world that was their's alone.. Freeze time for all us RRians to revel in their happiness which had become so firmly entwined in our own..
I whisper 'Lord Bholenath,are you listening ?'
