Eps 341 my favourite haldi episodes @Indu

You said it Indu and how splendidly. She accused him in jest of not loving her enough and that was the,reason her mehendi wasn't dark she pouted. And that hit him so hard, didn't it. He couldnt even joke about it. That look in his eyes...yes it would have halted an acocalypse This part was so beautifully delved by you!⭐️
And so he had to prove a point didnt he? To show her how much he loved her! And haldi was all about that...his love was all over. The Gupta House, Laxminagar, Delhi, India, the whole universe was not big enough to vessel it...all it needed was a tiny red suffusing of her nose tip, and a corner seat in her heart for hamesha more colouful and everlasting than the colours of mehendi, haldi and sindoor. Perfectly put dear friend. 👏 Thanks!

thank you, rhea,

you liked it? i found that moment completely sensuous yet as always with something more in it. chose colours and textures instinctively... it felt dhup and chandni? i am sort of sighing at what you say. not planned that way at all, it's by chance. wiwy said when i tried to explain another edit to her and mentioned the same thing that she couldn't believe chance brought that about. but honestly, when i plan too much it's all wrong and stilted. when i go for it with just my desire to make or write something, somehow always better. i wish i had more time and creative energy so i could make more edits, write more, make vms all the time... not easy this love of ours.


saw a friend's beautiful holi vm and felt like making one... also about twenty gifs... and write last chapter of not cut ou... kya karoon?


Achha In di like all masterchefs you explained the recipe of masterful edits to me but missed out on that ingredient that makes all the difference...desire...and not design😃 that explains how you have captured this timeless moment in time! Simply brilliant⭐️

desire.

wiwy... that ingredient is everything isn't it? 😆 keeping a check on mine is becoming dificult. thanks for loking the edit. when my head clears a bit i may even write something... but really how do you explain that feeling this man has for this woman. a man who was rough, unprepared to brook anything other than his way of life, who seethed at the very sight of her and who slowly understood why it was so... the birth and growth of desire till it reaches a point almost sacred that one saw in asr leaves me almost speechless (aisa bhi hota hai). where has this young actor taken it? i could feel it take shape, become a feeling one can understand, a physical desire in it as is normal... then it went further and deeper and grew into something so much more... a soaring in it, a part of his spirit. it imbued even the physical aspect of this feeling.

see in 343 him standing behind her and she is all flustered and teasing and feeling the touch of a desire too pure to deny. he stands there a little out of focus, yet you feel the look in his eyes, the force of his emotions, their dense thick immediacy and their beauty. he walks toward her and touches her back with a stain of colour off him. this could have been sleazy... it instead kicks hard into the solar plexus and while i am losing breath i am just zonked by its gorgeousness, its explosion of man-womanness, something elemental... that is outside the purview of good, bad, haw, right, not right.

in the vm with tere ishq mein, i instinctively matched it with the words, "dil sufi yeh tha... hum chal diye..." that powerful was the feeling he emanated.

emanate.

yeah... i think that is the word i'd use for barun's asr. he gave off that entire emotion that he felt with all of him. i never could understand how.

Episode 333

It was all about his di. Di.. as the smiling hopeful would be mother receiving gifts and blessings from all. Di.. as the wonder struck woman sharing the first photographs of her child. Di.. declaring he was soon to be an uncle.. tum mama banane wale ho.. she had said.. And on the many roles he donned for his family had got added one more..

Di.. who always came as the shy happy young bride, before screams echoed into that dark haunting night.

Di.. who lay on a hospital bed.


He had stood across a glass door perhaps in this very same hospital and watched how brittle happiness was. His Di had a pair of surgical scissors in her hand and a cornered desperate look on her face. She had been driven desperate by her love for a vile man. Willing to kill her the very life that she had so longed for, but now the baby is gone and a man stands helpless watching from across a glass door.

While the whole family gathered around a fragile looking Anjali, Arnav Singh Raizada watched from far.

"main di ko is haal mein nai dekh sakta", he will later confess.

If it was all about di for him.. for me it was all about him..

A sickening twist of plot had led to this melodramatic scene. Was I interested? Not really, but there is one man on screen emoting such a sense of tender pathos that I can't help but feel for him.


He has made it his duty to shield di from any form of unpleasantness. Di's happiness was his responsibility. He stands defeated. A man who never gives up seems to have laid down his armour to mourn. Acutely hurting, he can't even be near his di. The man is most severe with himself. He has set himself high standards, and where di is concerned, he thinks, he has failed utterly.

All his focus is in that small room where di lies on that bed. First delusional. Then crying. He has let her down. And her pain is too much to bear for him.


Long back babuji lay severely ill, paralyzed, he had supported Khushi. Sat a chair further away from a crying girl, who had shown no one else her tears except him. Today he shares his worst fears with her. He is inconsolable seeing his di in pain. di is in misery, that he has no control over.

Never, not even when he found Khushi in another man's arms, his di's husband's arms, was he as defeated by life, I feel, as he is today. Then, he still had hope of being able to protect di. There was anger which he wore as a shield. Today, as he paces those hospital corridors still in his regal sherwani, he is powerless.

"Wada kiya tha maine di se.. Ki hamesha unhe protect karunga".. He had vowed to protect hamesha..
"Par dekha tumne kuch nai kar paya.. Bloody failure".. In his eyes he sees himself as a failure..
"Bahut koshish ki maine.. Shyam meri di ko dhokha deta raha aur main kuch nai kar paya".. He tried hard, but Shyam cheated on di and he could do absolutely nothing about it..

Then unravels another tragic tale. That fateful night.. The night this stories always seems to come back to.. "Us raat bhi main kuch nai kar paya tha" .. He could do nothing that night.. It all comes down to that calamatic night.. He is haunted by those images.. At a certain level holding himself responsible for his inability to save ma..

Now that I rewatch these flashbacks.. There is lots to question.. It looks like there were more such women.. And why would the father also kill himself? In remorse? In embarrassment? Doesn't seem akin to the father's character though.. And the mother.. to kill herself and leave her children to fend for themselves? Maybe Anjali gets traits from her.. She kept calling out to Shyam, while her feet bled.. She was ready to kill her child one day when he had been thrown out of Shantivan..

Disturbing questions in my mind. Sadly one's that will never get much closure. In fact given how lightly this would all be treated it almost seems foolish of me to write about it with so much serious thought.

The story was laying out the bricks for the revelation of the dusri aurat.. If he was this close to seeing who she was then all the more after the marriage ASR and Garima deserved some sort of closure on the incident.. She was already a motherly figure to her. She had understood him, teased him, in her quiet way showered love and blessings on her son like damadji. He called her aunty and respected her.

"Kisi aurat ke sath najayaz sambandh the".. And that aurat will turn out to be the mother of the girl he dearly loves.

That is why the violent reaction when he thought his jeejaji and his Khushi were having an affair.



"Main kuch nai kar paya. Di aaj phir ro rahi hai. dard mein".. He is burning in hell. Helpless.. ASR likes to be in control. That is what he worked for, relentlessly, all these years. And this money that he earned was not a whim, not for power, but a sense of security. To never have to ask others. Never have to depend on anyone. To be able to provide for di.

"Jab di thori khush ho jati hai mujhe lagta hai sab thik ho gaya".. Fundamental truth of his life. How simple are the words that capture this profound feeling. His world has revolved around making sure his di, his only living closest relative, is safe and happy.

He has needed her as much as she needs him. He might have turned heartless, hardened by life's sorrows, which maybe a bright cheerful girl would also not have been able to break through, had it not been for di's softening influence. Someone who nagged, and teased, and loved.

"I don't know why everything goes away.. Ma.. Baap.. Pati.. Ab bachcha" .. Raw sadness that cuts right through.

"Phir se wahi sab ho ra hai Khushi".. Moment ago he stated with a compelling sort of vulnerability.. It was all happening again and however hard he tried, he and di were right were they had been fourteen years ago ..

I really did feel like weeping when he said this.. Not for Arnav Singh Raizada, but for the man who emotes all that this dejected brother, desolate son, anguished man feels. I want to weep in frustration that such sheer talent goes unseen.

episode 337


a sense of right and wrong. sort of important to have i am thinking.

also a bit of common sense.

especially if you're a writer. a long episode that drags trying to justify something that cannot be justified doesn't really help. just because you show heroine talking to her goddess, doesn't make it okay. and really, why did she not go running and tell her husband, the man who is doing everything he can to make things alright?

who is being as honest as he can be.

doing what he believes is the right thing to do by her.

fretting like crazy over his sister, because she is so much a part of him and because he has this thing called a sense of responsibility that he must act with.

why is she not telling him that shyam is lurking here? that di is seeing shyam? because he may get angry? come on.

and interestingly some people are always saying, "hum kya karen devi maiya, hume kuchh samajhme nahin aa raha!" what should i do i can't understand... while others just take decisions they feel they need to and act.

no marks for guessing which gender must be shown to be dithering and sort of scuttling their own hand in the decisions they make and which gender is allowed to act based on decisions made by depending on one's self.

in feudal patriarchy, if a woman becomes self dependent, strong, capable of taking the call and not passing the buck to someone, ideally god... then how will such an unequal, unfair system survive?

jainesh, the new writer, is only helping a system stay stable. unquestioned. the main reason perhaps why he was brought in. cut ipk down to the level of all serials.

thankfully, nani survived fairly intact despite that.

i also note that the man, who really hasn't been through all the woman things including pregnancy, went to consult another specialist, a fine sensible decision i'd say. one my mother would have taken.

and the good girl sat muttering, being "good", not trusting this man... and will soon decide what she needs to do is go to her s man. no not a specialist.

how did we even sit through this whole thing?

and they will make asr apologise to khushi? like he doesn't care for his sis's life, she does more... also knows more. i am a woman and i do believe our voice is never really heard, but that does not mean what is wrong is not wrong.

man woman transgender whatever.

sigh, i miss my man. and he did look gorgeous running down the stairs. his voice of reason excites me.
