phhandooh at: a phhandooh-of-my-own, pg.89

once upon a time
in a land far far away,

where the moon always shone at night,
with a light startlingly bright, 😆

lived a boy called prem
and a girl called heer.



they hadn't always been there, in that land with the moon at night
they hadn't always been together, bathed in the blue soft-ness of that light

when they hadn't been there, life was just that much more drab.
and when they weren't together, love was just much more sad.

but 'cause prem and heer were one,
just 'cause it was always meant to be, 😆
when they did meet,
and meet they did,

life blushed that much brigther,
love smiled that much more,
bit by little bit.

and of all the little bits
that met, melded, merged
together
the most gentle, yet most strong,
the most shy, yet most sure,
was

the touch of their hands.

one of those sure-fire, totally in-your-face, signs that
prem-heer were meant to be one forever and ever and ever...

in their

prem-heer-hand ooh (aka phhandooh 😆)

moments

😆 dramatic, huh? but true. i do not lie. so when you enter here, you enter with the warning ringing in your ear: viewer beware! 😆

this appreciaion thread exists 'cause of two-two reasons: (strange how a lot of stuff to do with this show has ''two-two'' things associated with it! 🤣)

firstly, 'cause everyone of the people who lived and made the first phhandooh-at a real, living, breathing, exciting fun home wanted this to happen.

and secondly, 'cause we all believe that

phhandooh phrases:

1. a phhandooh - a prem-heer (ph) hand moment that made you go "ooh!" the more intense, hot, passionate, exciting... *cough, cough! clearing throat. you get the picture...* it is the more "o"'s it gets. for instance, a relatively calm moment can be a phhandooh (only "oo") - like, um, uh, well, 'kay! the time that prem takes heer's hand and they both walk out of the juneja house after lalit-juneja kicks 'em out. that could be phhandooh. but prem holding heer's hand after he has rescued her from the deep waters is a phhandooooh (with "oooo"). different people can call the same moment anything from phhandooh to ... phhandooooooooh. uh... not sure yet what the rules are on a limit on "o" in a phhandooh yet. 😆

2. a phhandooh-thud - a prem-heer hand moment that knocked your senses out - the best. your best. for example, prem hands holding heer hands across the prison grill is my phhandooh-thud..

3. a pheyeoooh- a prem-heer eye moment that made you go ooooh, silly! what else? 😆 for example, here's one example of a pheyeooh:
4. a phoooh- a prem-heer moment that made you go ooooh. uh... no, we don't have space to demonstrate phooohs here... use your imagination. 😆

5. a phictionary - a dictionary of phrases and phwords. (check out page 76 for the launch of the phictionary)

6. phooh-language - words that transform themselves from english when they are used to chat 'bout prem-heer. or words that transform themselves when we use them on this phorum! 😆

7. ophat - the original phhandooh appreciation thread. where the phhandooh phrenzy all began. then grew. and grew. and grew. and hit the 150 page post limit. *shaking my head in awe at what happened there...* don't believe me? see for yourself...
and btw, this is one heckuva wonderful post to wander through when you are feeling dark and depressed about the show... seriously... 😍

1. the very first phhandooh was initiated by heer hand! we are all used to thinking that prem is the first one to originate any prem-heer moment. but phhandoohs used to be started by heer! hmmm. so which were the phhandoohs started by heer? which by prem?

examples of phhandooh started by heer:

* first phhandooh -- prem-heer "meet" for the first time.

(btw, did anyone notice that prem-hands first touched other heer parts before heer hands?? ehm..observe.. this was when they banged into each other.... 😆)

2. the hands were made for each other and they really like each other. :-) kimmu points out that heer-hands never - never! - refuse prem-hands. And it's true - there is never a moment that prem-hand has reached out to, or for, heer-hand and has been turned away.

remember the second phhandoooh? when heer knew prem, and prem didn't know heer. when prem was dying to meet heer, but when he finally got the chance, she was hopping mad at him and lectured him silly? ya, even after that heart-stopping, heer-stopping question "tumhare ankhon mein itna dard kyun hai?" even then, when their eyes wereblazing and frowning at each other, when their voices were hostile/confrontational with each other, the hands knew each other. when prem-hand touched heer-hand, heer was wonderstruck. looking back on that moment, she was probably marvelling at the sheer ... rightness of that feeling! and what was best of all was that - from that moment on - when prem led, heer would have followed. that phhandooh was a special one. 'cause somehow, it always seemed to me that from that second phhandoooh, heer had given her heart, her body, her soul to prem -- unconditionally. yes, heer always knew she was for prem, and prem was for her. but until that moment, prem was a beautiful dream to her. from that phhandooh onwards, it all became very, very real... 😍

3. btw, kimmz also points out that this made-for-each-other behaviour is quite unlike their lips -- where prem's lips have so far (as far as we have seen!) have been offered a heer cheek rather than Heer lips. And (as far as we have seen) prem lips have always refused heer cheeks. 🤣poor heer cheeks. How sad they must feel... 🤣🤣🤣

hmmm. so i guess, in the competition of "best body-part jodi awards", prem-hand would definitely win over ph-lips, no? 🤣

4. prem eyes always want to look at heer hand before allowing prem hand to touch heer hand. as if there was competition from prem eyes for heer hands! 😆 and of couse, prem eyes include prem eyelashes - which in turn cast a nice shadow on prem cheeks - oh, that action is an entire symphony played in the micro-seconds before prem hand touches heer hand..! ecstasy! 😆 hmmm.... does this mean we should nominate prem-eyes-heer-hands in the "best body-part jodi award" category? prem-hand would be soooooo jealous!

but this is not always true -- which fatima also pointed out smugly. there have been rare instances when prem has not looked down at heer's hands before the phhandooh - and all of the times, involve intense passion! *yes! even more than the usual prem-heer levels of passion! damnit!* for detailed discussion, check out page 30. ☺️ *i know, i know -- i obsess 'bout this, no? argh! why do you think i'm first member at the i-hate-prem club???! 😆*

5. sometimes phhandoooh is about the hands with other parts of prem-heer. like the day of the confession, happy disbelief was prem's helplessly forceful "kyunki mein tumsey pyar karta hoon!". but meltdown was the sight of those hands doing a braille dance over cheekbones, over beautiful jawlines, wiping away spilt tears, holding their faces close to each other, so close that you could feel prem's breath warming heer's lips as he spoke his passion for her... *serious meltdown* or at the end of that scene, before heer was troubled by the glint of prem's engagement ring, how those hands were held fast and brought up to his lips for a fleeting kiss, so readily accepted... *sigh!!*

6. actually, heer-hands have quite an affair going on with prem-lips, no? there was that confession scene. in the rescue effort, didn't prem-lips get to kiss cold-cold heer-hands? in any case, when heer lay asleep, recuperating from her watery ordeal and prem came in to tell her that he was there to make new memories with her, there was certainly some heer-hand-kissing involved? no? *gaah! forgive my epe/ephe disease -- it frequently inserts passion that i think should happen even when in moments where nothing happened!*

no wonder, heer-lips felt jealous and decided to start their own affair with prem-hands. like the moment that heer comes out of the train, finally convinced that her heart was in prem's heart, the hands did more of the face holding action. but it was a momentous.. uh .. moment! 😆 'cause it was heer hands grabbing prem hands rather than the other way around! *without looking too! 😆* or the moment when heer is trying to apologise for not having told prem the whole veera-ratpal story - heer lips totally takes advantage of the moment to sneak a passionate moment with prem-hands.

hmmm... given the way their body parts .. uh .. desire each other(s!), is not surprising that prem-heer generate so much..uh.. chemistry, no? 😆

examples demonstrating that prem (almost!) always looks down at heer's hands before he takes a hold!

* example 1, phhandooh 2 -- boss-prem fires heer but asks her "tumhare ankhon mein itna dard kyun hai"? and then takes her hand (phhandooooooooh!!! - yeah, 8 "o"s 😆).

the phhandooh that lasts -- all through the parking lot, through the office, finally to the scum who wanted to fool around with "hotel staff" just so that heer can slap the scum and regain her dignity. what is sweet 'bout this phhandooooooooh is that all through the phhandoooh heer is looking adoringly, admiringly at prem from behind ☺️, . *sigh, prem!*

ehm, but the point is! in this phhandooh, we observe that prem "looks down" before taking her hand ("looks down" -- bows his head, drapes those gorgeous eyelashes over those beautiful eyes 😆)
* example 2, phhandooh 3 -- heer dressed as a bride, standing in for pammi (! i really liked pammi and her fiance who she didn't marry. wonder what happened to them?) and is discovered as a fraud. when the crowds are shouting for her head, prem rescues her using a phhandooooooh! omg! that was a really nice one...
(here, see how prem looks down at heer's hand... 😍)
