Whoaho!! Hold it right there...yes, you must be wondering what the kid, who is supposed to be writing exams, is doing here. Blimey! I don't know myself...But I just realized what today's epi did to me...
It was a window to Psychology to me again!! Man, I love these CVs!!!
Okay, don't get too carried away...if you'll give me a moment, I will elaborate. Foremost, to those who do not know me, I am essentially a positive forum member, dutied to make only positive posts.
Now, to explain my point, let's have a look into Aquiline's essentially positive mind...
I began watching the epi and I was so loving it. Well, I love every epi even if it drags or is full of comedy or tragedy...because I know its a way to build up some greater track at the far bend even if most of the times that bend is not perceivable. Now, as I watched it...I fell in love with the characterizations, the actions, the dialogues, the mood, the progress...everything! I loved Nani, Anjali's deranged state, Arnav's desperate attempts at supporting Anjali both at the hospital and then in her room. I even loved Mami going up like a "family-obsessed-and-hate-extras" woman to speaking about Kushi coz she is woman of pride and deep love for what she thinks matters most: her orphaned nieces! Told you, it was a huge humbling of her pride to have joined with Kushi to find out about Arnav's whereabouts...but I'm glad they have brought her back to the proud, own-family-lover Mami...there is consistency where age old habits are concerned...she doesn't trust extras that easily...
Now, I knew some time or the other (we all knew actually) that for the Redemption track to begin (which has always been predicted and interpreted to happen: remember the last sequence of the Dream Teri Meri where Kushi willingly moves away and Arnav watches as she moves away, accepting her decision silently, for more details on this kindly refer https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/iss-pyaar-ko-kya-naam-doon/3047252/arnavs-angel-with-pics) That track needed to come and I was expecting him to hurt her again. Only the questions were when and how? I even knew he would hurt her using his Di as the focal point for if anything should anger Arnav against Kushi to whom he had confessed his love and whom he was relieved to bring back to life, then it had to be something against his Di. So, it was sort of expected. But the when and how remained and well, got the when and the how answered today!
Now, let's return back to Aquiline watching it. She was so totally understanding his anger and hurt and Kushi being scolded, knowing that it was important when suddenly he says that stupid dialogue! That if Kushi hadn't been there, Shyam wouldn't have blah-blah-blah...okay, I am not in a mood to repeat it again.
I was stunned through the rest of the epi and I was so shocked that the positive Aquiline for a moment wavered. No, I didn't bash Arnav or Kushi or the show...I was angry with the guyo who wrote the dialogue and the guyo who acknowledged the dialogue. What the! If they spend so much time writing and editing perfect manipulative dialogues for their awesome villain, why can't they pay a little bit of attention to their hero's lines! That was so out of place! What were they sleeping? And then I picked on the director: When you were taking the shot with that dialogue didn't you for a moment frown and wonder and say, "Cut!! Wait wait! There's...eh...something wrong with that dialogue, don't you think...it doesn't seem to fit with the entire frame..."
But no, you didn't! You-
PAUSE.
I literally paused, like how Kushi pauses, her waving hands suddenly frozen in midair. And then I realized...light shone in my mind and tube lights flickered...
Oh my goodness!!! You naughty brilliant CVs!! You wanted positive little me to be negative against the hotwa dear too!!! Oh you are brilliant indeed!!
Yup, folks! That is the theory darlings...
We were expecting the redemption track, at least most of us were demanding its dire need. And we were also expecting him to get angry with her, maybe we even excepted it on this occasion: on Di being led to harm herself...But how would we have reacted if Arnav's dialogues were devoid of that sentence...we would have been like, "Oh the cruel Arnie boy, not listening to her and shouting at her mercilessly...but poor thing, he was so hurt by his Di's condition and what with all that he has had to go through in the past few weeks with those gundas and Shyamwa! But Kushi is so hurt too...Oh I cried for her...you shouldn't have done it Arnie...you shouldn't have. Chelo, at least this way we can see some redemption track! So waiting for it!"
Well, that would have been a mild, lukewarm reaction that prepared for the greatest track to ever commence in IPKKND. Yes, I say greatest track: coz it is, a beast's Redemption to being transformed into a complete Prince NEVER to become a Beast again is what this track is. You see, even though he fell for Kushi and confessed his love and began believing her and softening towards her, one hurt to his Di, and he bursts his anger upon her as if he had forgotten everything...
Poor Arnie boy needs his temper checked but what about priorities, his Di is still number one in his life...first slap for Di, and second slap for Kushi...All this has to be changed, buddies, for which redemption track is pivotal. This is where the greatest transformation...or let's say COMPLETE transformation is to take place.
So, what did the CVs want? CVs wanted all of the audience to be angered too: "Oh you Arnie boy!! You deserve no forgiveness! What the ********* did he just do!! I am so not liking this!! Kill him! Crucify him! Burn him alive!!"
Whoa!! What a lot of violence: but wait, this was it: the CVs wanted to play with our minds. Dip us into the dark waters until we suffocated ourselves and then pull us suddenly to fresh air. And the fresh air that we get after that almost suffocating experience will be truly like the First Breath of Life, most precious, most needed...
CVs are playing with us, and they are very clever. Lukewarm anger towards Arnie would mean lukewarm joy when he begins to transform or woo her. But you want to ENJOY for real the REAL PASSION. Then you need to be twisted too!! They want us to be so angry with him that when the redemption track happens, we will find extreme sweetness after extreme bitterness towards him. This is Psychology, folks, I tell you, there is a well-versed psychologist out there among the crew!! Wait till I get my hands on him or her!! He/She needs an award!! They have us provoked and instigated so that when Arnie boy starts transforming, we will transform with him too...Ready for transformation folks? And maybe we can hear Arnie sing this song!
Hurting by Christina Aguilera
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today, ooh, ooh
I would hold you in my arms, I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done, forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this, ooh
Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do to have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, oh
If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you
Yes, I know that Indian Television shows broadcast woman accused, harassed and trampled on to every extent and that is very appalling as to how much Kushi is being punched at. The poor scapegoat indeed! But this is a show and we need to see it as a show...fall for it, be all over it, be an ArHi manic and go insane over SaRun masti: I am all of this myself, but I always make it a point to enjoy this show as a show too for it is a matter of my own health if I give in to negative thoughts and bashing. I love IPKKND madly, wildly and insanely, always have and always will...
Okay now back to my studies!!!
