xocyn1758 and Her Pagal Girls
I am seriously so proud to be a part of this amazing thread with all the wonderful, brilliantly talented women who write and create masterpieces. We met, about ten years ago, women from around the globe… only goes to show how crazy we are about this iconic show Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? My “pagal” girls, I call them, we have been through much together, happy and sad times in our personal lives, and we shared those moments these last ten years, just like we shared our feelings of IPK. I love every Blaster, deeply. So, let’s reminisce, shall we? Two families brought together by a past. Fate, call it; I call it Divine. What the Divine wants, the Divine gets; we should all remember this in our lives, things would go a lot smoother. A complex man, who has so much pain, it takes a simple solution of a middle-class zany girl to heal him, a sister's love, a villain disguised as a loving husband, and two wonderful families with deep hurts, secrets, and a Fate that will intertwine them in ways we just couldn’t believe. The show has love, hate, and deception all in one. We will never see this kind of passion and attraction in any other serial with any other stars; brilliantly done by all involved! I am an Italian American who fell in love with IPKKND and feels its heritage and culture in my heart! I am reminiscing about the last ten years, and this is one of my favorite episodes and writeup that I did. Episode 22 The Lucknow Express This episode is one of the greatest episodes ever filmed in IPKKND history. So many emotions going on and the tracks have been laid for the Lucknow Express and the destination is set. The episode begins with the wrath of the Engineer of the Lucknow Express. He retorts, "You ruined the show in Lucknow, you want to be noticed? So shut up and go now, put on this dress, or else." Decision made, and only one option for our Lucknow Express. The Goddess has been summoned for help again. The engine has been refueled. We will see...when we leave the station... In the meantime, the only thing that removes him from her is his sister's call. Anjali is happy her husband is coming home, and they are having a pooja. Please come and ASR says he can't, he has suffered a substantial loss. He has to stay on the platform. Will he board the Lucknow Express? Back at the Gupta house, Shyam is readying himself to leave, holding and then hiding a piece of jewelry from Buaji. They have this long conversation where some impressive words are spoken. Buaji: "Found the right person, found the right heart...to form the right relationship..." Shyam: "My heart is here, but when I am there, my heart is there!" Warning words... Passengers beware! Scene cuts to Khushi as she is calling home and Shyam answers. He is commanding most of the conversation when he realizes Khushi is quiet, he asks her, "Did they break the Lucknow Express?" She asks Shyam to stay because there is trouble at work… so it begins... Shyam's obvious obsession...he changes his plans to help Khushi. He is staying onboard the Lucknow Express. Khushi then refuels her engine with Devi Maya Goddess energy and says, "I will not accept defeat!!!" The Pooja has started Anjali anxiously awaiting her husband's arrival...the doorbell. Is it him? Back to the shoot… Jeff has got to go. Where is she? La goes to get her when suddenly she appears... THE LUCKNOW EXPRESS... in a red saree, looking absolutely stunning... frightened out of her wits... but there, ready for the shoot in her traditional saree. La is furious, but our Lucknow Express is ready to stand up for her beliefs "I WILL NOT, I CAN NOT WEAR THOSE CLOTHES!" SHE STANDS UP FOR TRADITION. WOMEN OF TRADITION. SHE WILL NOT CHANGE! GET ON BOARD THE LUCKNOW EXPRESS OR MISS YOUR RIDE! Thank God for Jeff, who agrees. He sees a different view through his camera lens. He asks her to STAND IN THE LIGHT, YES! this can work! As she turns around... ASR is coming into the shoot... and... stops dead on the tracks... HE SEES HER... THERE IS A DEEP STIRRING...YOU CAN SEE IT...YOU CAN FEEL IT...THE COAL IS IGNITED, THE FIRE IS BURNING, THE ENGINE STARTED... RABBA VE, RABBA VE, RABBA VE... Where is the anger? I only see longing... Their eyes meet... her dupatta slips off her shoulder... they break eye contact, and he realizes he is no longer mesmerized. He steps forward, ready to board the Lucknow Express, but with one foot on the step, he realizes, changes his mind, gets angry again... where's the dress? Jeff intercedes, to shoot or not to shoot, that is the question... He stares ... we wait with bated breath... ALL ABOARD! ALL ABOARD! ALL ABOARD THE LUCKNOW EXPRESS! DESTINATION HAPPINESS... that is to come later... He agrees... He walks away, just mesmerized by her beauty... never realizing he just got aboard... It has been ten years since that scene… a lot has happened...
👏 Love the ride of Lucknow Express...no doubt, whenever their eyes meet, sparks originate.
and love you too my blaster sis
