Why Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon makes sense.

Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon is not perfect. Definitely not. People aren't perfect dammit and this is a television serial. FICTION. Yes. Fiction.

Yet, it made sense, it still makes sense and will always do. Hamesha.

The other day I randomly mentioned something about it to a recently acquired friend and she ended up being at the exact same level of obsession as me and like many others in this forum. Yes she knew who BS was and watched SBS for coming up scenes. That qualifies you to a certain level of 'Farak-padta-hai' for the show😛

And what I realised was that most people who have watched it religiously have loved it almost as if it were a friend. We have judged it, had fights about it and yet got all cheesy grin and moony eyed on certain heart-warming moments :) And when it left, half of us literally went all 'Sanam bewafa' on it 😆 (So did I. I admit.)

But what is beautiful to realise is that no matter what happens, even today, 'Tum Theek ho' and 'Farak padta hai' will always mean something highly adorable to anyone out here. Even the wittiest and most cynical of all people here would admit to having had ONE mushy moment on some random Rabba ve sometime. (YES you. I am talking about you😆) Daiya ho and anjali's pooja ki thaali will stay as an inside joke to chuckle on and God help us lest we name our entire work force after the Prakash khandaan :P

Vivid images of Mamiji and Buaji will jostle out in our head whenever Kajra mohobbat wala plays and Jalebis will be met with a wistful smile on our faces. And most of all, Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta will always live. Bickering, fighting, Rabba-veying, but always a flicker of memory in our heads. For me, the only closest possible romantic memory of my soon to be gone teenage😆 (Oh damn.) and a truckload of wonderful friends for life, for many others a tiny lapse of common-sense from adult life, for many a secret guarded jealously and for so many others as so many different things.

And does it not make sense then? Of course it does. We have obviously not descended on the planet to just sit here moping about stuff. I think I have realised that adult life makes more sense than I can deal with, which is why things like Ipkknd exist. It is there to remind you, that life can be as random as jalebis in the middle of the night and make as little sense as...uh...well...as having a Rabba ve THAT awesome on a Diwali(#LifeGoals 😆). Like all I have ever done is sit around stuffing laddoos like a boss. And there they are, all Jadoo hai Nasha hai and the works! :P So that's that.

I barely know what this post is about.

I think this is me officially explaining the remarkable amount of time I have spent on this forum😛 And also making you feel slightly good despite NOT seeing Arnav Khushi together YET in 'Ek jashn' 😆 *Ouch!*

Rabba ve doston. Even today I do not know.. Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?

Or maybe the answer is...

Ek jashn!

some times, I wonder, exactly what is the addiction factor in IPKKND?

but it definitely has an addiction power.

I always had flying or passing fantasies in my life.

I used to love many movies in telugu since my childhood. every time, i used to fall in love with a new movie. and by the time, a new interesting movie releases, i used to change my plate to that one.

then Korean movies came into my life. i used to watch them sooo much interest.

then Twilight came into my life. i had fallen completely in love with it. i read all the novels. i watched all the movies.

but they all are flying fantasies.

but once, IPK entered in my life, i cant believe, that i am completely addicted to it. to a show. to a damn indian soap...😕

many of my friends and cousins suggested me about IPK, when it was on air.

i was like, stupid people, suggesting a daily soap. and moreover, by then i don't know hindi. (i am very poor in it. god knows how i cleared my second language in high school😆)

then it was dubbed into telugu. again many suggested me to watch. even then i was a fool to not watch it.

but trust me, for me the journey of IPK started during last week of November, 2012. i was really fascinated seeing the uproar regarding the closure of IPK. all my friends and cousins were literally crying, all the social websites had the news and people were so much disappointed by the news.

then i realized i am missing something. i gave it a try in telugu. by then the story almost reached the point of arnav and lavanya's breakup. i watched remaining episodes in telugu. i watched the missed episodes on net, all the episodes on net, downloaded them, read about IF in youtube comments, and so here i am. completely obsessed over IPK.

i no more had flying or passing fantasies. i am addicted to IPK since 3 yrs, and will always be.

sorry for the long post. but this is my entire journey of IPK.

coming to the loopholes and bloopers, all the shows or infact movies also have them. but as we watch IPK innumerable number of times, dissect and discuss it, we could find them only in IPK. who will watch a show so keenly. only we watch IPK with such a magnifying lens.

I think this is me officially explaining the remarkable amount of time I have spent on this forum😛 And also making you feel slightly good despite NOT seeing Arnav Khushi together YET in 'Ek jashn' 😆 *Ouch!*

For me its our own eternity...Our Hamesha ❤️

I love it and Love you all too damn it 🤗

Superb post, Risha, and of course, farak padta hain dammit! I loved the point you made about this being fiction...not that me or about a million of us around the world seem to realize...IPKKND has become a friend definitely, my eternal go-to stress buster, five years almost...my goodness...seriously time to see a shrink and deaddict!

Even today all the aspects of the show are a fond memory...yes, jalebis, the memorable songs, the amazing cast and crew, the lovely relationships that they typified onscreen and off screen...you guys have atleast got the excuse of youth. Can you imagine how much more ridiculous it seems to admit that as a middle aged woman, I continue to moon over a television Jodi that I think I know better than my own family at times?! Unbelievable!

What has been the addiction factor? I wish I knew! Would I have ever got so hooked if I had known what it would do to my life? Like any addict one can honestly say I highly doubt I could have helped myself from falling hook, line and sinker for the Raizadas, the Jhas, the Guptas, sheesh mahal and shanti van, the magical poolside, the emerald chaise, a goat named Lakshmi, and the amazing Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta..Singh Raizada! They now occupy a permanent place in heart and soul. Hamesha! And to be honest, I would not have it any other way. It is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all, as they say! And look at the crazy fandom we embody - we actually lost and got the show back as well, three years on! 😊👍🏼

So enjoying the Jashn, no matter what form or shape it comes in!
