Episode 336

I am on the opposite side of a laptop screen, not breathing the disappointed air of Shantivan and still I am close to giving in to Anjali.

"Humare Shyamji humein lauta do.. Hum unki patni hai. Humein unki bahut zarurat hai".. Return Shyam back to me.. I need him.. A lot.. Anjali shed copious amounts of tears and finally came out in the open to admit to her brother she is longing to be reunited with her husband. She is his wife and will always need him, she tearfully answers back when he questions her. For ASR its clear enough. Shyam cheated on di, how could she ever want him back, but di does.

I have always listened to everything you have decided... more emotional blackmail. I can't quite believe he didn't give in.

Then again, not for nothing is the man Arnav Singh Raizada. A character we can't stop talking, dreaming, writing about. The tough choice he is making made me think of him as her guardian. The decision he takes might not be popular, but it will never be about conforming to the expected. It will be about what he thinks is sahi. haha it's almost as if the choices as much as his clothes that seem to make this man the one I can endlessly fixate over.

When he had announced he and Lavanya were not going through with the engagement, everyone had questioned him. Even Khushi had been hurtful and blamed him. He had not bothered to explain. It was the right thing to do. Now its di and a much worse situation. Di is the child in a sweet shop wailing for the chocolate that actually hides something poisonous inside. And he remains strong to protect her from herself.

Even Akash, bhai's staunch supporter was swayed by the tears, but one person seems to hold strong.

Nani, the voice of reason. Today even she comes to losing her temper around dadi'd baseless accusations. "dhairya naahi khona chahiye".. Let's not lose our patience.. cautions the elder who is behaving like an elder of the family in this time of need.

The other elder lady, who prefers to be this blind fool, continues to rave and rant nonsense. Dadi blames nani. Our lovely nani, who is stern enough and firm enough to take her grandson's side. Nani, who trusts him. For all the years he has proven himself to take care of di, she will stand by his decision. It is not an easy decision for her either, seeing her granddaughter absolutely distraught, but she is wise enough to know that there is no easy way out. And she will stand by her chote. Time and again we get a glimpse of how proud she is of the man he has grown up to be.

I almost wanted to stop the video when dadi declared with completely certainty that Khushi is responsible for all thats going wrong in Anjali's life. Outrageous suggestion!

Sadly, the world is full of such deluded people, who live their lives in pretense of this false piousness. We only want best for everyone.. their verbal motto. But they neither have the courage nor the vision to see through the myriad falsehoods and face the truth of life.

Nani trusts khushi. She was vocal and clear about it. This is not Khushi's fault.

Dadi however with full right blames that dusri aurat. Of course its all her fault. And her beta is the gullible pure man who was waiting to be waylaid by the scheming scarlett woman. Everyone blamed the poor apple of her eye, her darling son, and no fingers pointed at that other woman. She was the one who committed the sin. She will answer to god. Her son should have come out unscathed of this scandal.

I have to give it to the writers. They couldn't have made dadi more infuriating even if they tried to.

In his room, alone sits he. Inert, head bent. Ruminating about all that has happened. And though he is not moving, there is an undeniable energy and sheer life that radiates from the man.

Phenomenal.. that tortured defiant wretched look in his eye. What is he really to do? We have all in varying degrees been in such twisted unfathomable helpless situations. Though most probably we don't look as good while we face these moments.

"mat jao".. He implores in a voice hoarse with feeling. A certain right in it, but also simply a disarming plea. Wanting someone and admitting it, can be empowering it is own esoteric way.

Khushi is torn between being "good" as is expected or as her heart dictates. Most probably she had come in to talk about Shyam. Arnavji is in extreme pain, how to bring up something that most probably will only make him mad at her. Approaching someone rather difficult, and wanting desperately to help, but not knowing quite how to, is something immensely real. And in the midst of all this she is supposed to leave him and go home, because she can't stay with him in this room that they had shared for six month.

"I know".. Watching her internal struggle the man concedes she has to go. The way he is, utterly giving, in his relationships can be a study of its own. Magnanimous and hardly ever asking for anything. When he does ask, it is beautiful.

In that other fight he has asked her .. "aur main?".. Vulnerable and loving. Wanting her to stay with him.

"lekin ek min ke liye baith toh sakte hai". And she snuggles upto him.

This entire scene reminded me of holi.

Using his knuckles like a small kid to wipe away his tears. Not wanting to let her go. She resting her head on his shoulder. Then, it was a happy time because they had managed to shed the hatred they were supposed to feel and embrace the love that they actually felt. A blissful moment stolen from all the chaos.

Today, its in the middle of an awful lot of discord. No young newly weds, but a husband and wife battling problems which to a large extent are completely out of their hands. Worldy problems, but the feeling exactly the same. An oasis of peace right there, with her head on his shoulder.

Who would want to walk away from this? What promise to family, what seven pheras could be more powerful than this call of the heart? Of the longing to stay with each other in a time of need. Her presence is the balm he needs. She is the strength he seeks.

I was just asking Indi di when was the last time we heard rabba ve.. And it played today.. Only it was the sad one.. And ASR looked at the spot of mehendi on his hand and again got a reminder of how ephemeral this illusion of happiness really is.

For he had been happy. For most of the evening he had been very happy. Even told his nani he wanted to look towards his future. Di had been smiling. Khushi dancing. He had held her, tied that dori, and even got a spot of her mehendi. He was celebrating. And it had all slipped away.

A cry.. And di left crying.. Wanting something which he could not give her. Demanding the one thing that was most harmful to her.

Please someone slap dadi. Please.. Dramaqueen anjali is also getting too much too bear..

Oh he is back in his vest and rolled up sleeves.. Looking like ASR from far.. Closer he is too worried.. I like him angry, or distracted, immersed in work, or wry and amused.. don't be sad please..

Kissing his wife. A kiss on the head makes you feel safe, I believe. Khushi and ASR together almost are becoming stolen moments. I wonder why? When they were supposedly nothing to each other they got screen space to fight and fall. To happily rabba ve. This is an okay episode really, but I would rather be watching the spirited young lovers doing their ajeeb rabba veying with bluetooths and jilebis.

Ughhh dadi.. She is so insensitive and obtuse... I don't feel like watching..

hi sohara,

great to see you and thanks for reading my quick one on 348 and liking teh gifs.

carnal... 😆 huh?

about sex. i guess i have been surrounded by a repressed society which is deeply hypocritical where the meaning of sex and its place in our lives is so bludgeoned, it's just plain sickening. and i believe this silly attitude to something as fundamental as sex has done untold harm.

i don't connect socially sanctioned marriage and sex. i connect deeply felt love and sex. not casual by the way love, or crush, but deep committed love, love that scales and attaches and abides. if you don't happen to find such love and marry and choose to have sexual intimacy within a relationship where there's respect, that feels okay. but there are many cases where there is marriage but no respect and sex is pretty disrespectful too and that is a complete no no for me.

I agree with you. But the scenario has been changed nowadays. Women who are independant don't keep such forced relationship. Most of my friends who got married, got divorced also. They can't agree in trivial matters and sex is a very big thing. The urban society has been changed completely. You must be talking about people from rural areas.

i don't believe in casual sex at all. one night stands say to me you have no idea of the beauty of love and this whole me me must have sex just bores me. i totally get crushes and some physical experimenting, kissing, necking, etc, but to allow someone to get that close to you without the deepest of feelings... terrible. kind of wrong.

It's not just one night stand, here in the USA kids starts to practice sex from middle school. In high school they become master in it. In university most of the folk's best weekend fun is having sex. it's not that they are having sex with random people but with their friends or friend's boyfriend and girlfriend. as there is no restriction in their life or relationship, they are abusing themselves, carrying disease and breaking friend's relationship too.

however if there is an adult relationship, such as the one asr and la had and there is an understanding between the two and they have intimacy, that is really their look out... and their right. i may not do it, but if they wish to... fine.

ASR decided not to get married or love anybody. But as he also had physical needs, so I don't think he did something wrong. He is not a hypocrite who will marry a girl just to get the license to have sex.

marriage is a blessing and a choice, and we humans make it work on this earth... and oh yes it takes work. a healthy sexual relationship where there is space for intimacy and fantasy and play is beautiful in a long term relationship.

Marriage is beautiful when you tie the knot with the person you love or even like. And every person in love should marry, rather than live together.

i guess respect for me is key. not a formal signed sealed piece of paper only.

sometimes sex feels instinctively right. sometimes not.

for me, that rejection of asr's loving respect and joy filled gesture was really painful. and anyway, this phere obsession is a tv thing trying to pander to the largest group of viewers. there is no principle in this. indian television shows the most horrendous things and then says people want to see this...

Indian soaps are horrendous indeed. how they show people are scheming, plotting and killing human lives are very unhealthy to watch.

and yes, they were legally married... so... exactly what this whole issue was i did not get.
it seemed to reduce both the notion of marriage and the idea of a man and a woman expressing love through normal physical intimacy.

they actually wanted to show another marriage to raise the TRP.😆

i am glad khushi made a journey in her mind... it was good to see that.

pole dance he he... asr would surely have a heart attack. i quite liked her chameli bai type of filmi number... very very sensual and almost predatory. poor asr was smiling wondering should he pounce or play along, knowing how nutty his woman is.

I forgot, our classy man actually loves filmy shilmy, nutty, jhalli type babe. So namak ishq ka was perfect.

i love these two together.

they show me the beauty and breadth of a feeling called love. when i heard a russian girl say she learned of relationship family and most of all love through them i was grinning and nodding. this deep understanding and complete holding up of a true emotion is really what ipkknd is about to me. i often think this will do more for young people and a healthy happy existence than many pompous serious sounding things ever will.

i just amused to see some non hindi speaking girls' love for IPK. Their culture, their life style, everything must be different, but still they became fan of IPK and arnav-Khushi. our show must be great, otherwise why so many people love them. you know some Arab girls from Morocco and neighboring countries are arranging a trend in twitter on 28th march to bring Barun and Sanaya back together in a new show. I never saw such madness before.

Thanks for sharing. I've seen it a while back on Twitter. And Barun makes all girls crazy..young and hormonal aunties! 😆 It's great to see that!

BTW, I've seen Vietnamese fans too on FB. They are actually from Vietnam and not the ones residing in the US.

Over the weekend, I discovered Russian also watches Thai dramas. I've found a website full of them. And Vietnamese have always watch Thai dramas.
