LOVE . A words uttered by many several times a day . Love you , love ice cream , love the movie ..love this love that . . How easy and convenient this verbal expression has become . Our grand parents rarely used it and taught that actions speak louder than words and true love speaks for itself. In this modern day and age if anyone recited a love poem to his or her lover may be declared insane while watching a summer blockbuster Star Wars holding hands very romantic.
According to me there is no right or wrong way to express LOVE and each onto their own . Who am I to judge any generation or an act even if I honestly detest the Star War series. The tale I am about to relate is evidence of my silliness and what I did for Love - for my ISHQ .
The show honestly was odd and many a times stunted in its creativity . Just about every character slapped someone or got slapped . About every character of importance was kidnapped . All were admitted to the hospital at least once. . The show was generous to give DT and Viplav 2 wives , Dhani 2 husbands, Vidha and Atharva 2 fathers . Stingy to not give dadi any real dialogue . cruel to kill the ladies in white in a blast and inconsistent in it characterization. Yet I watched daily ( minus the 10 days Mish was away ) without fail . Yeh Pyaar nahin to kya hai ...wink wink.
My IKRS journey started with a beautiful poster and a lady in white who got me subscribing to this desi channel. Its odd air time made it impossible for me to be watch it at the appointed time leaving me no option but to record and watch at leisure. Only that the leisure happened way past human sleep hours. While the world slept and the other half up on their feet rushing to their errands I would sit and watch dopey eyed heavy with sleep and genuine fondness for the leads . Out with sleep when you have two beautiful people and their crackling chemistry onscreen. Its what dreams are made of therefore no complaints.
Next came the fun part. I joined back IF after several years for my second outing with desi telly and chanced upon some very good writing by Hammie , among others. It was a pleasure to read her posts everyday and soon i was tempted to participate , my trouble that she posted them way past my bedtime with the only choice of replacing my morning newspaper with her post. World affairs takes a back seat when compared to the affairs of fictional characters right ? Now all I needed was quality time to write a response and what better place than a calm environment of an office between meetings , calls and a demanding boss . Chewing at a sandwich at lunch always cleared my head and provided the fuel to write a short take . Most of the days i was the last to write ( a day late ) and had to chase the dear lady to pleeeaaasse read . Thx Hammie , if u are reading this , for giving me the space to jabber.
The group collectively decided to begin a daily Live Update thread with moi being its primary beneficiary. Darn it - why do work places have 9.00 am as the start of the day ? Don't they know its the time for IKRS to be aired in India and that half hour needs to be declared as a siesta for all. When do lovers ever care of such distractions as work reporting time and always find a way to get to their object of affection. Smart phones are a gift from the Gods themselves came to my rescue and the refresh button my favorite key. Thanks to all my LU updaters who never failed to reach in time and report on daily activity .
This act of love has to be my shining moment. Vacations are an unwanted interruption when not a moment can be missed in the lives of Viplav & Dhani , I mean Kamini , that too for a week . HArd to explain it to the family who are hell bent on visiting destinations with poor cell service and insist on checking out each tourist site . CAn I be blamed when my only option is to secretly sneak out at 4:00 am in the one cheesy corner of the hotel to catch good reception of wifi and have a fill of Kamini doing her raas Leella . The second day I was caught and questioned but Jab Pyaar kiya to darna kya ??? My excuse was ready - Was up early to check out the gym - thank god my chappals went unnoticed.
Yep ..we all have stories as to What crazies we underwent . Come on fess up ...tell me yours .I need to know .
Guys while we wrap up and watch the final episode today with the forum getting closed soon I may not get the opportunity to wish you all well. I had such a roaring time here with you all and my IHSQ journey would not have been a happy one had I not known you all . I will miss you all and will meet you again as soon as Mish comes back in a show.
Love to all...And for he last time Do comment ...
