Do lafzon mein yeh bayaan na ho paaye...

I loved the post today Priya - well that's not something new, but today was just special. But then the episode itself was special - I just can't express it in words!

Also appreciate your notes - will follow them! To me, while I love Barun and Sanaya very much individually, and also love Arnav and Khushi individually - it's their couple that makes IPKKND what it is to me. That's why I can't stand their separation - I'd rather they are together and fighting than apart. Neither one of them can be given individual credit for making or breaking the show - it's them together always.

The CVs have not majorly disappointed us either and it saddens me that, unlike other times, when the first thing I would do after such a sequence is come to the forum, yesterday I just wanted to sit back and watch it multiple times. I'm one of the people who loves this show to the core completely - and while criticism is very good and helps improve, nowadays it's really becoming criticism for the sake of criticism, which I really can't stand beyond a point. So once again, Priya - my spark of sanity - thank you for the Crooner, and for the wonderful amazing lovely friends I've made because of this space. Love you for this, and completely behind you, no matter what decision you take.

Saara din beeti jaaye... Saari raat jagaaye...

What a beautiful episode in every way possible! From beginning to end, the episode had me completely hooked - and yet of course, there was just one scene which I watched continuously again and again till my Tata Sky replay button and my Youtube cried for mercy. Through last night, through this morning, through work, through sleep... just some kind of magic that's been weaved on me! Will come to it later though!

Teri meri, meri teri prem kahani hai mushkil...

The entire Shyam-Khushi conversation was absolutely spot on yesterday. Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, I'm falling in love with you more and more every day. The brilliance of the sequences - the flashback especially of how they met for the first time - was just unbelievably good. I hate it when Shyam touches Khushi though - I wish they would cut that out!

The fact that Anjali saw Shyam and Khushi going out together got my brain cells working too - I am extremely interested to know if she directly questions Shyam about it. There are a few too many clues that are being thrown in when it comes to Anjali, and I'm waiting to see how the entire thing will pan out. The CVs don't let anything go to waste - the proof is in the fact that the casual "divorce papers" scene where Khushi met Mr. Roy was turned around completely today and used. Wonderful.

I am a little worried that Anjali saw Khushi going along with Shyam so casually today. I love their relationship, and I know there is going to be a strain when the truth comes out, but I hope the essence of their relationship is maintained. It is a very important relationship to me.

"Mar gayi woh Khushi" - oh Khushi! Fantastic. Just fantastic. And once again, it felt so real - like the Khushi who had existed before all this happened was really dead. She's not ruled by her heart currently - her head is in the game, and she's ready to play, no matter how high the stakes, to get Arnav back. The casual way in which she mentioned that Arnav had called really threw Shyam off - he was so ready to suspect her, and now he's falling into her plan step by step...

Sanaya Irani - hats off to you for being the brilliant actor you are. The ability to enact emotions with just your eyes, which you share with a certain Mr. Sobti, just raises the bar every time that there is an episode that focuses on your character.

Ik dooje se hue juda, jab ik dooje ke liye bane...

The flashbacks with NK did fall a little flat for me too - I felt like it was too much explanation of a few things which kind of dragged it (which I found also when they were explaining Shyam's plan in last Monday's episode) - more so because the pace of the rest of the episode was very good. But still, it's good to have everything cleared out, especially for the rest of the TRP audience that might not follow with the kind of detail and precision (and complete obsession!) that we do.

I loved the desperation of not knowing where Arnav was, of missing him, of wanting him back. I hope they preserve the intensity of this track. The scene when she realises that the temple bells were ringing from Anjali's room - ah, our slipshod Shyamji slips up once again!

Also essentially while NK is not the best possible partner, I am glad there is someone who knows what she is upto completely when it comes to Shyam.

Ek ladka aur ek ladki ki, yeh kahani hai nayi...

I am torn between wanting a completely intense misunderstanding and some romance. I might be willing to settle for intense misunderstanding with dream sequence once in two weeks, and throwing water on Arnav once a week. But I'm willing to really sit back at this point, and just wait and see what happens. The beauty of the show lies in the unexpected, in excellent dialogues and in the amazing acting from the leads! So bring it on!

Tumse dil jo lagaya... toh jahaan maine paaya...

Ok first off, sorry for using a line from our Arnav-Khushi song for writing a paragraph about Shyam - but I just wanted this whole post to be around Teri Meri, and this did fit Shyam! In his mind, his lust for Khushi has finally paid off - he's finally getting her to see him as a person who can support her, who can be with her and fulfill her dreams. I am sorry to say I was also kind of touched - I guess that flashback just reminded me of the nice guy he used to be. It was kind of pathetic and made me angry at the same time. Of course, his background music was completely awesome - O Daiyya!

Kyun khuda tune mujhe aisa khwab dikhaya, jab haqeeqat mein use todna tha...

No words can ever describe this sequence for me. The perfection, the magic, the beauty, the song, the red hot chemistry - they just came together so amazingly. I screeched the minute he was on the screen in that "Coming up" and I was just spellbound. Didn't know whether to look at her or him during the song (ended up doing multiple viewings where I saw each one only - of course!). And oh my God, when they showed what she was wearing - I just went mad. Phew, what a sequence! Won't say much more than that about this - there are people who are more lyrical and poetic than I am, and I guess they will say what there is to be said. I am left speechless.

I just can't wait for today's episode now!

P.S. Wrote this in between lots of interruptions and tons of work so did not proof read - no idea if anything makes sense! Sorry about that!

Fantastic Crooner Priya 👏 👏 And yes, the significance of the colours 'Blue & White' & ur analysis on the " Curse of the White Pearl "

I still seek you,
in the hallway of stars,
where suns blossom in citrus fire.
Where the eternity
of your footsteps,
the infinite memory
of your image, spreads
in the mushroom holocaust
of our love.
So little separates
so much divides.
The star-spangled oceans,
the sickled seas
are exhalations of a seeking mind.
But the straightjacket skin squeezes,
its acid colour permeates
dissolving uncertain bones.

~ Seeker, Anurag Mathur ~

Edited to add:

Deba.. you strike the right chord every time! The crooning deserves all the praise that is showered upon it from every corner of the forum! Coz hun.. you make sense! And that.. is a rarity these days! 😊

As you laid out the various fragments since the surreal dream sequence, I have been stacking them in my mind, one upon the other, waiting for them all to connect and merge with the ocean! I also noticed how the pearls were playing on your mind.. you gave us a flash of the fragments coming together in the fireflies crooner, the sequel! And today, I see how it all falls into place! We still have a few days of seeing the laying play out! You, my love, are phenomenal! 👏

The episode started with Khushi luring Shyam into her well thought out web of plans, and Shyam walked right in! This girl is 'determined'! Her apprehensions giving way to her conviction that Arnav is in danger and she has not stopped fretting for a minute ever since! She is convinced that its Shyam who is behind Arnav's disappearance and she has not left a stone unturned to find him out and get him back! She has remained focused, planning in detail.. knowing very well about Shyamu's sharp, evil mind and his capabilities, realizing how far he can go, and thus leaving not a loophole, not a chance to get caught or it might prove fatal!
NK, her supporter, her aide, her pillar of strength! Planning with her, calming her down, assuring her, keeping her sane! The friend, standing strong by her side!

Khushi is not taking any chances! She signed the papers only because she knew they were fake ones! I cheered on hearing her say that she had met Roy, something that I had forgotten!
The subtle seduction play that she enacted on the roadside, wow! Delivering exactly what Shyamu would fall for! This Khushi is definitely a new Khushi.. life has taught her to be different, more aware, more mature, more thoughtful!
The moment when she turns back and looks at him, Shyamu sees again what he fell for, truly a 'blast' from the past!

One moment of extreme interest and a true attention snatcher.. Anjali! Now she has always intrigued most of us! But this moment was different! So Anjali, she was always in the picture, she is what the picture is all about but is she finally coming into the active, action mode? Or another dismissal till the right moment comes? Lets wait and watch!

A special mention.. I loved the shadow play on Shyam's face on the poolside..!! One half of his face is always visible and clear and the other half, in darkness, in shadow, hidden.. but his eyes.. both of them open, watchful, alert! Such a masked, hideous two faced creature..!
(But.. Shyamu and Khushi on the same spot at the same time.. the very same side of the pool, lost in their thoughts? They really want us to believe there are multiple pools.. but with the same surroundings!! Maybe Anjali loves gardening too! 😳 Sorry! You know me, I cudnt stop myself! 😆)

Finally the dream.. and here comes the poem I mentioned above! Seeker.. all the four of them.. Arnav, Khushi, Shyam and Anjali! Seeking, in quest of life and what holds meaning and importance for them in this life!

Arnav.. the most desperate of them all! Coz he realizes, he had with him what he always looked for, searched for, was seeking for.. but he denied it, rejected it, falling prey to circumstances! But now is a moment when he realizes how much he values what he has! And is desperate to be with it! The heaping impatience, the augmenting anxiety makes him conjure a dream, a fantasy, a fabrication of his mind, his imagination.. Khushi, beautiful, loving, giving, submissive, passionate! 😍

One dream, endless emotions, a myriad of sentiments, infinite feelings.. desire, melancholy, happiness, remorse, love, sorrow, warmth, hope.. all untold, unexpressed, immeasurable!
This show makes me sigh and sigh again! Yes Deba.. they call out to each other in their dreams.. kyunki mera dil tumhe pukarta hai..!

PS:The white and the blue.. yes! The pearl in the very heart of the ocean! Shall I clap for you? Naah! You are always brilliant so I might as well rest my hands a bit! 😛

PPS: For your note.. chumma meri jaan!! 🤗
'I may not agree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it!'
This is your space Deba.. you have the right to talk about what you feel.. and not think twice about it! We have been sharing this space with you, enjoying every moment of it! We have gushed and ranted, we have agreed and not very often but disagreed too! But not even once have I not respected you for your sentiments, your perception, your emotion, your expression! And I must say, it has been mutual! And hence, we came this far!
You have made valid points..! We believe in maintaining sanity! Lets not get carried away with what can, could or should happen! We are here on the forum coz we love the show!! And what I post here in my favorite space, is my reflection upon the show hours after I have absorbed it! And I love the sharing that we do! 😊 And we are team Arhi all the way!!! ❤️

What a brilliant start to the week!!! Today's episode provided answers to the questions we had after watching Friday's episode!! Priya, what a beautiful pic...what beautiful words. I agree completely...to find a pearl, dive deep into the ocean.

What a fighter Khushi has turned out to be! 😎With each step she takes towards her enemy, she is getting bolder and braver...true to her tagline "Darti hai par karti hai". It was on the May 12th mahaepisode that Khushi said "Maana ki hum har kaam dil se karte hai, iska matlab yeh nahi hai ki hamare pas dimaag nahi hai". Khushi knows she is treading a dangerous path...one wrong step can kill Arnav. Yet, we dont see fear on her face. Thats my girl!!! 👏Sanaya my dear, take a bow you deserve every single award there is in town.

Shyaam babu has no clue about the hoshiyaar dimaag Khushi possesses. Right from the time she decided to steal the CCTV tapes till date not once has she faltered. Infact she was so quick to join the dots today. She realized it was a plot by Shyaam to divert her attention the minute she heard the temple bells. I was so surprised to see that this girl has already met Mr Roy...but why? Has she shown Mr Roy the will that Shyaam had made? Did she get legal advice? Did Arnav intimate Mr. Roy before hand? Did Mr Roy give Shyaam's friend (or whoever that person was who got Arnav's will for Shyaam) the will to save Arnav? Or did Mr Roy prepare the will to save Arnav? Arnav's real will may be something totally different. Not sure...too many thoughts bouncing off my head.

Shyaam is turning out to be such a big fool!!! 😆How can he be the kidnapper? He has forgotten about Arnav and is lusting over Arnav's wife. 🤢Jee le apne zindagi beta...your grave is almost ready. How dare he sit beside Arnav's pool??😡 Aaargh, ab pool ko sanitize kareki padi.😆😆

Now the most beautiful part...Arnav's dream. It was just like him...hot and sexy!😳☺️

Barun and Sanaya were perfect. Barun looked utterly butterly delicious today. Sanaya looked so gorgeous...so so pretty!! I loved every bit of it...right from the time Khushi started gazing at the stars till he called out to her in the end. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!! ☺️☺️

Teri Meri prem kahani hai mushkil

Do lafzon mein yeh bayaan na ho paye

Ek duje se hue juda jab ek duje ke liye bane

Tumse dil jo lagaya

To Jahaan maine paaya

Kabhi socha tha na yeh

Meelo dur hoga saaya

Looks like this song was written for our jodi...every line fits in so well. It is tailor made for Arhi😍

Just loved the way Arnav pulled Khushi towards himself, the way she ran and hugged him tight from behind, the way he held her face, held her head lightly while she hugged him. I can go on and on. Their lip synching was perfectly done. This whole dream was much more sensual than the hut romance. ❤️😍😍

Thanks to the CVs for showing our Arnav and Khushi in the same frame and making our day.🤗
