That was the google French translation of 'Memory of Love'😊 With the show ending, with our beloved SurYa poised to become just a memory ( Fervently hoping not in memorium!) , I feel compelled to remember why I fell in love with this show. We all regret some of the tracks that pulled down the show towards this premature end. But with just four days left, I feel that this is time to celebrate our love for the show which makes us care so deeply.
To me, it is undoubtedly SurYa relationship that did it. How completely Suraj accepted Sandhya for better or for worse from the moment she was chosen to be his wife. Him opening up that cute armoire in gg room ( Gosh I became fond of each and every piece of furniture even in the old gg room!) , to divide up the space for himself and her, acknowledging that she would make up his other half and thus beginning this journey of unconditional love, unwavering support through good times and bad being steadfast & noble and above all, of mutual respect. Though there have been a few lapses, cvs have maintained that essential core of Suraj-ji and Sandhyaji's story. This sweet and respectful way of addressing each other and the sacrifices for one another by this brave,innocent and idealistic couple were what made DABH stand taller above every other Indian show for me.
If I had to chose favorite memories of SurYa, it is almost impossible.. Each and every frame in which Anas and Deepika appear together just becomes extra special. Such is their mind boggling chemistry. The clothes hanging, the shop to balcony glances, the shy interactions inside gg room, Dal baati churma cooking class, steel dabba messaging, chotu playing cupid, sleeping on those bed rolls on opposite sides of the bed, bedroll tug of war resulting in the first ever sharing of the bed, hand locks and eye locks, scooter rides, puppet making, and so on made up the light and romantic parts of the show. The papad scene, Suraj stopping Sandhya from leaving, the 15 day trial including the maasa faanv track, SV2 track, the accident and reunion, The Singapore track, Suraj discovering Sandy's dream and supporting her against all sorts of extreme Bhabho drama, to eventually achieving the dream were all intense and left us hooked to the core. What followed after Sandy's graduation-the true peak of the show, was less memorable but even there, a few moments shone thru. The Siya Ram song, Moments of pain during SurYa separation, Sandhya losing her nerve and Suraj finding her begging brought tears. Sandhya giving back to Suraj when he was paralyzed and the circumstances of Kanak's birth were heartwarming.
All in all to me, SurYa remained authentic for which I thank the cvs. The title track will always remain in my heart. My absolute favorite version for lyrics is the one that played along with Sandy's realization while waiting for the bus on SV2 track,
Tumne toh har pal saath nibhaaya, ban ke sahaara dard mitaaya.
Kaanto se banee thi woh raahe humaari, tumeene hataake kaante raahe sajaa di
Meri mushkile sambhaali, meri duniya savaanri, banke meraaa o saathi,
Diya aur baatee hum...
