what KS is to me..

How do I begin..
I have read so many postings on this forum, and I think I have enjoyed almost all of them (ones that are demanding for updates/videos.. I am not particularly fond of.. ).. Never have I seen such appreciation for a serial. I have generally been a silent member.. and this is my first post.. Never thought I would start a post on my own...
First and foremost, I give the Kasamh Se Team all the credit in this world. MT, Methela, Lima..(sorry if I am forgetting anybody). you guys are amazing. I read your daily updates every day MT and I have to say, I feel your emotions through your words. Absolutely fantastic. Words can not describe how greatful I am to you all. Methela and Lima, although people demand for the video postings two minutes after it has aired on TV, you both remain calm and collected. I think I personally would be agitated after a while, but your love for the members and KS clearly shows through your patience.
I do not know what KS has done to me. Although I have read similar postings to this, I have to say, sometimes I feel that it is consuming most of my time. I am currently at work, sitting at my desk attempting to work, but what is running through my mind is Jai and Bani. I have not seen todays episode so I am only imagining. I should be working, but I cant. I do not think a serial has ever affected me this much before. I never close the screen to the Kasamh Se page on IF.
Mind you I live in the United States. Born and Raised. Yes, Born and raised. There is a plethora of TV shows here dealing with so many different topics. But there is something different in Indian serials, in comparison to American serials. Indian serials (at least for me), touch me in the heart more. But until I dont think it hit me until i started watching KS...
The first serial I started watching was Astitva.. and that was good.. second came Kareena Kareena.. Tushar was hot.. so of course I had to watch that.. but it was never to this extent where I would be thinking all day (or all weekend) for what could happen.
I cried when Jai Walia cried. Never have I cried that much for a TV show. Actually.. never have I cried at all for a TV show... It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. Partially, its that I know that I can not take a man crying... (Just name any Karan Johar movie, and Ive cried in them,esp. when SRK cries... meri to chutee hoti hai..)
Im a romantic at heart.. you have no idea how much.. I believe in love more than anything in this world.. but if I watch an American show, its just not the same. Watching Jai and Bani makes me envious and hopeful and brings a sense of peace to my heart. I think I like the idea of love where you don't have to say it, and its the small actions in life that show how much you actually love a person. This is the love the Jai and Bani have.. Jai giving Bani the kangan out of the blue... Bani asking him to wear a black kurtha.. .. The slow dancing... The quiet and hopeful looks they give each other.. I dont see a more perfect love. They take care of one another.. They worry about one another.. You know that line from Maine Pyar Kiya.. "I love you so much it hurts"... You can see that love between Jai and Bani.. and that hits me right in the heart. Without each other they are lost, and they are in pain, and they long for each other.
The characters portrayed by Ram Kapoor and Prachi Desai are phenomenal. You can see emotions in their eyes and in their actions and how much they love and believe in their characters. They have an understanding with their characters that goes beyond expectations. I feel they have immense talent. The ability to change the shades of their character, express ten different emotions at once and make you fall for them time and time again is impeccable. I know if somebody saw Ram Kapoor walking down the street, they may not think twice about him. I feel the same way about SRK. BUT I think its partially their characters that make them so beautiful. The King of Romance (SRK) has such a big female following because his characters touch us in the hearts. And in this same way is Ram Kapoor. He is good looking. But what makes him irresistable is his character. Beautifully portrayed. The reason I love him is that he gives me hope in love. That chance to have somebody look at me like Jai looks at Bani.. I can only hope that in my life I will find that man..
I am a big fan of Jai and Bani. I think that in the end true love will conquer all. Although they are just characters in a serial, they do more than just tell a story. They bring a sense of love to our own lives. I am amazed to see how many people are affected by them, and how many people believe in these characters and the love they have for one another. I know without them, I would probably be working on one of two hundred files on my desk, but the longing to get my thoughts and feelings out there is getting the better of me.
Meri umeed hai ke Jai aur Bani ek saath hi rahenge.
My heart is now a little bit lighter after writing my thoughts down. I cant believe I have written so much.. My apologies for the length of this post.. I dont know how many of you will actually read this.. but for those who do.. I appreciate your time.. and to the KS Forum.. thank you for giving me this chance, I seriously can not say enough about you all.. You guys are the best.

Hi Dear!

Thank you for posting your thoughts-- for having the courage to speak what you feel in the deepest part of your heart about life, love, and yes this show. I think the TV medium has been so successful because it brings to life all the ranges of emotions and situations.. and we see that with KS and Jai and Bani! You are right to be touched this way.. and so many of us on this forum feel the same way. Some of us view it with humor, and other of us appreciate the love and the longing present in the show. Its only natural to transfer what you see to ones own life... its natural! You are among many friends when you call yourself a romantic at heart! 😛 And what you say is true.. that seeing an Indian show brings to life something that one can't always identify with in American shows. Its a sort of affinity, be it romanticized of otherwise -- its there nonetheless! So, enjoy it!

The KS forum particularly sticks out in my mind as one of the most enjoyable online venues to meet, greet and enjoy the company of other like-minded individuals!

In that spirit.. welcome.. and happy posting!

HKaurk!! Hi there! Glad that you have joined the ever growing list of active members!

Jai and Bani and KS have got the better of me like no other show, no other characters! My days and nights are immersed in their thoughts for the most part! Their togetherness brings me immense happiness and when they part, my heart cries. This show has touched me like no other and I hope it continues to remain this way.

This show is even more important to me becuase this is the very reason I am at the KS forum today! I've been a member at IF for a year and a half, but hardly posted. I had about a 100 or even lesser posts for a year, and then 6 months back I came here, and you can see for yourself what happened! I went from a Newbie to a Goldie! The first thing I do every day is visit IF-KS and that is my last chore of the day as well!

Sometimes Im astonished at my obsession! I cant believe Im actually analyzing characters and commenting on the minutest details and catching all the nuances. I havent even cared so much about characters from classic novels!

This has to be the most active forum at IF. Members, myself included, are flooding it with Fan Fictions, some emotional, and most romantic, fulfilling their desires and those of their readers. The best part about this forum is that there are more who listen to you than those who speak up! I've noticed that there are fewer members who create new posts, but many more who respond to them!

To me, this is the place where I belong! I can have fun,I can laugh, I can debate, and most of all I can share. Im so used to this place, that whenever a member makes a post saying that she is going for a few days, whether I know her or not, I feel sad.

Jai and Bani have to be my most favorite couple of all times. Their romance, I cherish, their sorrow, I feel, their hatred, I cannot bear. Their romance arouses a sense of satisfaction in me and it gives me hope. Like you said, KS appeals to my senses more than Western shows! Romance and gestures are given more importance than the physical aspect of relationships....this draws me even more to this show. Jai and Bani...their stares are to die for....

And JW...Everything about this man is so......intense! He has attitude, he can be fussy, he can be vengeful, yet he is so lovable and at times vulnerable...I can go on and on. I better stop!

This show means too much to me....and even more important is this forum! I hope things dont change...

Luv, Jojo

What a thoughtful post. It could not have been said better. And I can relate to the idea of 'being' from here and yet having that strange sense of attachment to Indian programming. A little on the cheezy side I suppose but that is the main reason I watch the news channels-Aaj Tak, HT, etc-that air here nowadays. It makes me feel like I'm back in India for a few moments. Makes me very homesick.

Great post Hkaurk22! Great way to start your long haul at the KS forum. I guess I have to agree with you and AD in that Indian shows def bring in a sense of attachment to your roots. I also have to agree with the obsession. I'm on this forum all day very much so like Jojo....it's the first and last chore of the day! I have met some of the most articulate, witty and crazy people on this forum! I love the environment where there's sensible discussions along with crazy fantasies at the very same time. That's prolly what's keeping us at this forum. As for the show well most of know what's keeping hooked 😳 RK of course! 😉 But I agree Prachi and RK's chemistry is definitely worth watching!
Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy posting here as much as we all do! 😃
