Cv's ..Thank You !!...I still remember the scene that happened few months ago ...A scene that brought forth Joy among the multitudes of Grass, plants, The words were like a tender breeze which ruffled through the verdant glades causing the flowers to burst out jubilantly ...The flowers sang paeans of love in Rhapsody , but there amongst that lush surroundings, There surrounded amongst the evergreen plants ,trees was a lonely Cedar , yes its leaves too rustled, its branches too shook but not in joy, not in revelry ..The cedar was keening in sorrow,wailing in despair for on that day, it had been delivered a mortal blow... This Tree stood against the currents prevailing then, stood its ground and tried to counter the winds , Alas, its voice was in minority and was lost in the roar of exultation...but Did the Tree keel over, did the Tree succumb to the wind..No, It remained resolute , It in its own humble way tried to change the tide ...Today the feeble attempts of that tree has been acknowledged, Its stand has been vindicated ..Today That Tree has been proved right, That Tree was none Other than REDUX !! ...The Soulless breeze has been endowed with soul and it sweeps the glades again ..Today That tree will dance, will create music , will delight in the caress of the breeze ...You, CV's have not given me any other option but to say, "I Love You, Dammit !"

Moving on to the episode ... ... The episode began with the game of Hiding and ended with truth being exposed !! ..loved how the show begun with respecting the rituals and ended up questioning the same!! ...From the Beginning, I had felt that SI was leading in the acting dept but that last 5 mins or was it 10 ..belonged to Barun & he proved why he is considered to be a intense actor and a head above other's ...

once again there was a overlap of past and present ..

Episode began with Anjali lying through her teeth but also offering us the precious glimpse of their courtships days..By their ,I mean Shyam & Anjali... The affair went right under the noses of the elders quite unobtrusively..

Night Dawns , we see the restless panther pacing to and fro in his room, agitation writ large on his face, thinking deeply about the showdown that had just taken place , the wreaths of the past weighing heavily on his young shoulders , when alien sound intrudes his consciousness , Alert he seeks to find the source of the sound n discovers that it is made by none other than the inquisitive, playful , warm hearted chipmunk Khushi .. So intent is she in her work that she does not see him staring at her in wonder, Arnav uses this opportunity to have his fill of the lil dynamo, whose presence lifts all the burden of his shoulders, His face loses the tautness as a smile of happiness teased from his soul makes its way to his countenance !! He steps forward to help her but the fulminating Khushi rejects his overtures and dashes away from him

Pandora's Box !! ..That was the first thought that came into my mind when I saw Khushi dragging in that huge trunk !!..What was pandora's Box.. It was a jar given by Zeus to Pandora for safe keeping , She was strictly instructed never to open it but curiosity impels Pandora to open and this lets out all the evil stored inside that box.. Khushi has embarked on that venture too , She has began to drag in the box , the box which will let the cat out of the bag , The box which is going to do the work of aegean stables ...She is met wih obstacles in her endevor, but the ever Gallant Arnav, The just .. smooths the road ...where does it lead to, it leads to breaking of a glass containing water..Water , the source of life, water that purifies ..water that denotes a new begiining and a blessing ...The water that was contained is unleashed..Truth will not be contained any longer and will raise ...I found it quite interestign that Arnav is left holding the scoop which is generally used to weed out the undesirable plants, protect and nourish the good plants...He is the gardener of the RM Plants , he will tend to the needs of the people and if necessary will weed them out too...Ohh, I mentioned Pandora's Box, Didn't I ..The Box which brought forth many miseries to the world...well there was also one tiny glimmer of light hidden deep in its recess , It was HOPE !! ..Yes..Hope stayed back ..Hope was the feeling that gave u strength to fight back and Hope provided with the courage to overcome the miseries..Hope will imbue this lovers with determination and they will overcome the odds !!

The Pooja Begins ..with Little Krishna bathed and clothed watched in respectful silence by the family...

I loved the scene simply for the tasks undertaken by the elderly ladies, ladies directly related by the Blood.. Dadi cleans and purifies the Little Krishna, Nani clothes and protects him , Anjali steps forward and crowns him !!..Beautiful scene this..Arnav , the little boy is fully immersed in the values n teachings of Dadi, he is drenched in her ethos , while it was Nani who took him in , sheltered him n protected him...Anjali it was who crowned him the king, who made him the head of the house ..and in future too, Arnav will be the one who will donning the Crown and it will be him who will be placed on the throne...

The Pooja ends with the Conch finally being blown in the presence of Krishna, The war has been declared !!

##WHERE WAS NK during the Pooja Time ??

The Pooja is over , the newly weds get blessed ..and are urged to present the house with little Krishna's n Little Radha's..the quick dart of look between Arnav and Khushi, while one is all insouciance, la-di-dah..the other is apprehensive cos she knows the masterful master who has the habit of getting his own way !! ..A will that will not brook any resistance and that will is set on having a night to remember... A true Business man who uses the opportunity to further his agenda by playing on the beliefs of a naive Girl..

The cat and Mouse game begins with the hungry cat wanting its share of cream, The cat circles the saucer placed just near yet far .. everytime the cat moves in , interruption comes in ...Arnav as the frustrated hubby with a steadily mounting temper was a delight to watch while Khushi as a shieing colt , who was finding ways and means of postponing the inevitable was a perfect wife..The Lady had not reckoned on the single minded nature of her hubby.. Tiring of the wait, Arnav with complete authority stands amidst the council n peremptorily summons his wife of few months to follow him into the room ...uncaring and not bothered by the knowing smiles ..his entire focus only on his wife.. Nani, plays the perfect matron as she urges Khushi to do her Husband's bidding not knowing what her Grand Son wants his wife for, while the very much aware wife is not left with any options..Khushi goes to do the bidding of Arnav, following the footsteps of Arnav but not before bestowing a mute glare at the helplessness of her situation...

Khushi arrives , ready to explode on her husband but she had not counted on her husbands towering temper which was held in abeyance by a flimsy thread ... She is cognizant of the fact but can't stop herself from taking him to task for speaking rudely at her in front of everyone... An Unrepentant Arnav has no time to waste and thrusts a glittering box to Khushi, gruffly commands her to put it on and prevents any further expostulation from her part... A fuming Khushi leaves to do what her gallant Prince Charming so gallantly had requested !!

This was the moment for me When ASR begun to be in the ascendant ..I just loved the abrupt ways of his, the ineptitude which is the hallmark of ASR, A man who is never comfortable with finer feelings, A Midas who has the touch of gold in his fingers but does not realize that it is his touch of warmth that people are craving for, A loving heart which has love in abundance but can only dish it in the form of commands, orders ...he loves his wife to death, would prefer to keep her always in frot of him , fulfill every single whim of her's but when it comes to expressing it verbally , He misses the bus by a mile...but such is the purity of his heart, the love so flawless that his emotions find a resonance , an echo in the heart of another pure soul , Khushi..

As Young man about to have his dreamt of night, containing his impatience , tiny gestures betraying his tension and nervousness, BS was darn good here as was SI with her furious glare

Khushi leaves to fulfill he orders of Arnav, while Arnav waits expectantly ..Khushi changes into the the dress gifted by Arnav, steps out hesitantly, a picture of embarrassment, fear, shyness ...She takes refuge behind the closet, the tinkling sounds betray her presence, Arnav turns on hearing this minute sound, His eyes all eager, ...awaiting for the glimpse of his Goddess..when Khushi like a shy gazelle takes a peek from behind the doors of the closet ...startled to see the unabashed admiration in Arnav's eyes...Arnav raises from the recliner, drunk in the beauty of this fairy, captivated by her dark kohl lined eyes reflecting her inner turmoil, enchanted by the vision in the red ...Arnav coaxes Khushi to come out of her hiding place , Khushi refuses to step out cos she does not have the flimsy piece of fabric to cover her body. little does she realize that Not all the yards of clothes can stop Arnav from getting the glimpse of what he truly cherishes ..Her heart !! Her love !!

A lovely scene showing the love one has for each other ...Khushi, the traditional girl would never ever step out in that attire in front of anyone else, but she does come out in the presence of Arnav..there is a unspoken acceptance of him as her's, acknowledgment of his right over her ...while Arnav who never bothers about shopping or is merely content to do chauffeur service now goes all by himself and selects the perfect outfit for his girl...He is not ashamed to show his emotions, his vulnerability for he knows that She will not take advantage of him...Faith and trust has bloomed unbeknownst to them.. two flowers vital for the sustenance of relationship...

A self conscious Khushi is still hiding herself from full view and is waspishly demanding for a Dupatta to cover herself... Arnav pulls out the Duppatta , holds it for her, softly tells her either to step forward or he will step towards her...Sensing the reluctance of Khushi, Arnav , still in her thrall, slowly moves towards her, clasps her hand and begins to draw her away from the closet !!

Should I even have to mention that this was one of my fav scene ... I loved the way how Arnav brought Khushi out, refusing to drape her, covering her...by that one action showing that she is his and he has all the rights over her ... he does not need the barrier of clothes.. ..She need not cover herself cos he is her's, her soul mate and not a stranger, there should not be and shall not be any sense of shame,, shyness in between partners for they belong to each other , heart & Soul, Body & Spirit ..one simple action , one gesture that just united them as a couple...

A Amorous Arnav slowly picks Khushi like the most precious jewel & deposits her carefully on the bed, His blood is on fire as the desires that had been dammed for long finally finds an outlet, beguiled by her docility, her seeming acceptance of the most powerful act that will forever stamp her as his, He fails to notice the tell tale signs of agitation, of reluctance , Perhaps he dismissed it as the fears of a new bride ...Khushi who is buffeted by powerful emotions , confused by the raging hormones which demanded satiation is undecided on the course to follow when her eyes fall on the idol of RadheKrishna !!..The idol spurs the memory on and the voice of reason asserts itself ,,Khushi calls a halt and to the eternal credit of Arnav Singh Raizada, he respects the wish of his wife and stops right there ...

There ensues a quick commentary on upholding traditions and values , Arnav does not care a tuppence for the empty rituals but it does hold lots of meaning for Khushi ..Khushi wants to run around fire, so be it ..Arnav will comply..not bec he believes in the Agni but bec he wants his wife to be happy ..A Man who can't differentiate between the fire used to light a cigar and purified flames of Gods.. A Man who abhors rituals and considers it a sham, A Man who holds the emotions and feelings dear and priceless ..>Such a Man is willing to walk around the phera's cos his love believes in it..A rattled Khushi is going rat-a-tat about their arrangement, how their wedding is incomplete while a grim Arnav just holds on to her and circles the burning logs under the sky . a Sky glistening with stars , stars where their parents reside !! when he becomes aware of the fact that Khushi has gone silent...Following her gaze, Arnav's eyes light up on Dadi who had been the mute witness to their Phera's ..

One of the best scenes in the whole episode ... There stands Arnav like a anointed one, on his hands rests his universe, his reason for existence , There stands Arnav like a tall pillar supporting a delicate creeper ...There he stands the new order , separated from the old order by the chasm of fire , Fire which will burn either of them were they to cross the invisible line...both stand eye to eye.. Arnav representing the emotions and nobility of emotions while Dadi stands there embodying the disapproving rituals...The noble emotions, sentiments which gush from heart, without which nature would just collapse and die , the guiding light of the universe , The truest way to the supreme one stands majestic, looking straight in the eyes of Man made rituals and traditions..created by man for his own selfish ends , for his own ease of living , for his own protection ...Both battle it out, the raging fires a mute testimony to the burning inferno lashing within !!...Love wins , Ritual has to bow down before love and retreat quietly into the night...

Turtle Dove ..They are the birds who do not rely on any rituals , pheres and mate for life ..They are the emblems of true love !!

I LOVE YOU, DAMN IT !! is a Phrase which had been in long use in Redux, it is what we wished to hear , how we envisaged Arnav will finally confess ..For we knew that the confession will not be easy for Arnav, it will be gut wrenching , torn from his insides , shouted out in anger/exasperation and never in calmness ...we are proud to say that we did decode Arnav Properly or shud I say , Doods set the phrase in motion and today CV's acknowledged her efforts ...Today is a Proud day for Redux indeed !!

Following is the excerpt from the a post of mine in which Doods had written [ dated Feb 27th ]

I love their "Equality" game. If you say it, I will say it 10 times stronger. Who in the world wants confession now??? I am lovin' it. But as I see it, the loop is opened today. It started with "I hate you" and will end the same way with "I love you, damn it".

To My Pak Brother's & Sister's ;😊

Today is yet again another celebration in Redux...so many of the things reduxians said have come true...

Dood's loop of I hate you to I love you dammit is complete...

Khushi blurted out the truth herself as always expected...

And the most important Stigma is out...

Dadi knows the truth...and now the promo will play out...Khushi's Izzat will be at stake...

Till I update my post...why don't you guys enjoy some celebration dance😉

Its a dedication to mano mami from me 😳

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhnnvURVSJQ[/YOUTUBE]

Direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhnnvURVSJQ

OMG OMG OMG...

Dadi accepted HP😲...unhain itni jaldi samajh aagayi unki ghalti?? I knew it HP can do it and he did...👏

Dadi who had taken the pooja thaal from khushi's hand and sent it for purification assuming that she is a servant today stands and happily watches on as HP brings the pooja thaal...another loop closed...😆

Good going Dadi...look how happy you made him...throughout the pooja he is the one who is grinning the most...swaying the most and in the end he chants "bolo krishan bhagwan ki"...

Or on second thoughts...does he know what Arnav is upto?? Is he the one who helped him decorate the bed quickly quickly while khushi changed?? And if that is not the case then I go back to my theory of Arnie's bathroom being the door to Buckingham Palace...and khushi took a stroll of the royal gardens in search of her dupatta before coming out...giving ample time to bitwa to do the preps!!

Ok lets come to Anjali Di Sab se sayani...What an apt rhyme by Arnav bitwa...she is the smartest of all...lying through her teeth to the people who love her above all...so she is chitty chatting with Shyam babua and reliving her dating days...haila yeh kiya...she said she was with the pandit...Shyam jee pandit ban gaye??😆

Now lets move onto Akash bitwa...I think after reading redux pink posts and then the resulting posts all over the forum..the man has made it his mission to go through the available stock of SP's wardrobe and hunt and wear pink clothes only...I love his sense of humor...aaj to tika ker purple and pink combo...too good man... On a side note liked the chemistry displayed by Payash today...the little side hug was rather cute..

Khushi bitya...remembered clearly what her hubby had said about the night plans...ooper se to tewar dikha rahi thi...but did any one notice..anticipation main new hair style and all...saari bhi pehni..😉

It is always that Arnav and Khushi attempt to so something chup chup ke but someone or the other interrupts...now this time around for the first time Arnav made it loud and clear that he wants Khushi alone with him now...all understood what arnav wanted...dadi got the PI**ED look...Akash gave a meaningful smile...mami was shocked..and nani clearly said...kiya ker raheen hain khushi bitya..(implying hubby comes above all what are you doing here)...jaaiye dekhiye chote kiya chahat hai (And we all including nani knows what he wants from his pretty wife)😆...no one and I repeat no one disturbed them...but this time around kerdi Khushi bitya ne tai tai fish...😆

Lets come to the serious part...OK OK before that...

I loved how Arnav for the first time draped dupatta around Khushi and on her head...and then the hug...the soothing hug to allay her fears...to make himself reassured of her presence with him...beautiful..😳

Khushi is shown pushing a big box with all her might but unable to move it its stuck...like a brick wall but one little pulling out of spade by Arnav and voila not only the box moves breaking a water jug also Khushi falls hitting her head hard and on being offered a hand by Arnav...she doesn't take it and walks away...

This box reminded me of a brick wall in her memory...which is strong and has blocked out all memories of around 8 yrs of her age...no matter how hard she tries she cannot move the wall...but one brick being pulled by Arnav and the wall comes crumbling down and memories flood her head...remember her flicker of recognition on Arnav's dads picture...Khushi will be hurt hard...what will spur the brick wall in her memory to move will it be the revelation of the surname Malik??? Will her painful past be revealed to her hurting her in the process and prompting her to walk out ???

Doods reminded me that this is the same box that Khushi carried to RM on sangeet....then she brought it with her and entered the next day as bahu...now again she is taking it and pushing it out...is it the time for her to walk out???

Now comes the water jug... water is truth and it has been spilled and will be clarified more...by none other that Khushi herself...water is also pure and so is khushi...but what happened today?? Water spilled on the floor with shattered glass and Khushi was on the floor when Arnav said...tum neechay kiya ker rahi ho...wow...

Is there any other way to hint stigma?? Khushi ki izzat is on dao...her purity and dignity at stake and she will be considered fallen in the eyes of all once the marriage truth is out...and of course dadi who has heard it from the horse's mouth will not sit back and enjoy the bhajans now...she will surely spill it loud and clear in front of all...the promo will come into play...

6 days to the end of contract...Number 6 is "Man, Evil, Stigma, love of Money, Sin"

On the morning of sixth day bed replaced implying to all the relation between Arnav and Khushi...and in the night Dadi heard the truth of their marriage...Stigma out...

As doods pointed out on Friday its all clashing ...the Malik truth, the wedding truth...the past and the present all merged together and unveiling together...

Another thing..Arnav said phere kitne 7 ya 8...

Number 7 is "Completion and Spiritual Perfection";

Number 8 is "Repentance, Resurrection, Rebirth, New Beginning";

So is it implying that though completion will come but before that we will have the play out of number 8...i.e resurrection of past, repentance...then rebirth of Arnav malik and a new beginning with Mrs. Khushi Malik??

8 makes sense as this time Arnav will be bearing the brunt with Khushi when all truths about their marriage break out...!!

And last but not the least I love you Dammit...spewed out in anger in true Arnav Style...Finally from Faraq padta hai to Haq banta hai...we have reached to I love you dammit...in true Arnav Ishtyle😳

One thing I absolutely love about IPK team they read and take things in the right spirit and try to rectify...remember I pointed out 3 T-shirts hanging in Arnav's cupboard when he caught Di on pool side...today they properly hung Arnav's shirts on that side and hung khushi's clothes be it night clothes but properly on the other side..well done... plus they have taken care of their lighting as well and the shoddiness is disappearing out of the sets appearance...things have started to look better and it does not look like a deteriorating, crumbling set anymore...the grandeur is coming back...mostly all had new clothes today and all looked super nice !!!!

IPK and I mean the rocking IPK is back!!!😃

"I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out."- Roy Croft

Arnav Singh Raizada said that he will always have a check in his emotions and that he doesn't believe in Marriage. Why should he agree?? What is one thing that makes us follow all this rituals its our faith. But the foundation itself is not strong for him. What did he learn from his life that made him hate the idea of marriage? He saw his parents who would have underwent all those stuffs that were listed by Khushi today. He would have seen everything going good for lot of years but one fine day he comes to know that all he was seeing was a mirage. His parents committed suicide and he thinks his father is responsible for his mother's death. First hit there. Then years later he see his Di, His life's most important person leading a happy married life. But one sudden day he realizes that she was cheated in the name of that relationship. Second Hit. For him his feelings have taken over everything. He is ready to take his marriage and wants their union emotionally and physically. For him they are married nothing matters more. What those rituals means all those he will do for her. A person who was thought to be non expressive of emotions today came out and told her right on face that if anything matters to him is that He loves her/ He said I Love You Khushi

He may be rude but he is also flexible to his loved ones. He will stand by Khushi and will giver her whatever she wants.

Khushi, the girl who has always been at sacrificing end, grown up respecting all and grounded with principles now wants her marriage to be sealed in front of society with blessings of family and almighty. She was the same girl who few days back told him that in another few days everything will be fine and the contract will be over and she will walk out. But now she needs him forever. She needs his name on her sindoor, Take Seven Vows with him, Wants him to tie Mangalsutra like how she dreamt of. Give her fully to him after that. Now lest go back to that day when on Payal's shaadi day she will be preparing food for the guests and the banana leaf in which the food to be served will get over. For that ASR will ask her to serve in plates. What was her reply Parampara yehi hai ki mehmano ko Khaana pathal mein hi khilai jaatha hai. So she will never step out of tradition and rituals.

So when they were ready to do it what stopped Khushi suddenly It was Radha Krishna statue in their room. What it signifies, they are eternal lovers but never meant to unite Krishna had to leave Radha for the greater purpose of the world. But Arnav and Khushi will get a name, they being the Kaliyug Ki radharani and Krishna will unite and will get married that too with Arnav's acceptance.

I was very much interested when Dadi said Ab Humara vrat Panchamrit Sai Kol Saktai Hai. What is Panchamrit? is a mixture of five foods used in Hindu worship and puja, usually honey, sugar, milk, yogurt, and ghee. It is mainly associated with Abhikesham of Lord Shiva as he loves it. And more significantly Panchamrit is very important on the day of Maha Shivratri. What does MahaShivratri marks. There are lot of legends involved in it but the two important I have taken here.

One is, after a lot of efforts Mata Parvati was able to convince Lord Shiva for marriage. Through her attachment and influence by sage devas, Parvati, also recognized as Uma, and was lastly talented to into wedding and was absent from simplicity. Their wedding was solemnized a day earlier than Amavasya in the month of Phalgun. This union or marriage of God Shiva and Parvati is famous as Mahashivratri every year.

Second is that During the Samudra Manthan (Churning of Ocean) when the asuras and gods joined to churn amrut from the sea lot of poison came out of that ocean which had the potential to destroy the entire universe. So to save the world from destruction Lord Shiva drank the poison himself but Parvati save d him at the moment from the poison's effects thus he got the name Neelakantan.

So based on this two things are assured one is Arnav and Khushi's marriage is going to be solemnized, they have started with seven pheres by Arnav and will get it done by Khushi's wish and meanwhile the Conch was also blown today so as in samudra manthan lot of truth from past is going to raise as the poison and Arnav and Khushi will have it to save the entire family. But the process has now only started so let's be ready for the poison to come out one by one. The terrace is back so as the truth too where it all started.

Today was one emotional episode. Well nowadays every time I say the same thing'It was brilliant'.Out and out for ASR' He has just been reminded of his bad and painful past by his dadi'One side he wants to be with Khushi and needs her emotional support. That was evident in his eyes and that hug. I really want him to have some peace in coming episodes. It was one top of the world confession from him. Thank you CV's for giving it. Please let him have the same smile which Khushi had today. Let him hear it from her soon. Loved Khushi today. Her state of mind..One side she wants to give in to her husband but other side the idea of not having a full marriage with him killing her..Just loved it. But she stood by her values. Hope she gets what she wants soon. Barun and Sanaya and the team fantastic work.👏

Thanks to all my Redux Pearls for always liking my posts and for the support. This is for you guys🤗

Hail Redux... Hip Hip Hurray🥳🥳

Those were the first words it came to my mind post the episode when my sanity returned so evryone at Redux Congratualtions,,,
_________________________________________________________________

I LOVE U Khushi(Tears)...

...I LOVE U Dammit(Smile)!!!

"Rest in Reason; Move in Passion."
Khalil Jibran..

Day 6 in continuation

You can't force yourself to fall, you just fall. But sometimes, if you accidentally pass up the right person, they might just trip you if you're lucky.

A journey which started by an accident an unknown fate bought Arnav and khushi in vicinity to each Other and yet it has come tonite where they are eager to be with each other, soulmates...

To much can be written or said to be able to be fair for what we saw on scren,,,, its a blissful experience after witnessing the up & downs if Arnav & Khushis Journey of finding each other understanding each other... Love a sweet exclir for Soul was its best display today with its fault and joy!!!

The episode started with Mami & Anjali, Anjali happy in her world , lying and finding the happines, she sure feels it incorrect to do sumthing secretly but doesnt stop infact lies right in front of mami, once again making you realise that some ppl grow only when they fall themselves, no amount of teaching or cautions help them,,,

The whole pooja scene was done beautifully, it reminded me once agn of the advent of gopal to the world where his birth was the start of cycle to finish the evil and once agn we see the undercurrents of the good & bad, the right and wrong in RM, will anjali's baby be the gopala of RM,

this also reminded me of last janamashtami,,, where Arnav was forced/coerced in joining the Pooja and tonite he will was willingly/eager participate in pooja tied by the dor of Khushi's love in his life, he very willingly reminds khushi abt nani and her words indicating that he is completely and absolutely in the relation, for him he has crossed all boundations of mind and sole and

then i liked the scene between nani & dadi where nani nods to soothe dadi, once agn indicating that nani will always be attuned to Khushi & Arnav and will assure the world abt them if the need arise, her faith in khushi stands tall

he is impatiemt summoning her to him, to their private chambers, but when has Khushi listened him like this, he gvs him a look and moves, thinking he will be perturbed by the ignore, if so she hasnt understood Arnav very well, A relentless Arnav followd her kitchenand once nani presence gives her a chance to skip out on him,

He patiently waits once agn once he sees khushi using the family as a shield he looses it, amidst the whole family he summons her, once agn showing he is Arnav who commands the world and nani and the family are surprised at the tone, bcz past few days he has been a spree of protecting Khushi, once nani tells khushi to go with Arna she hasnt got any options,

The next scene at the enterance shows a very miffed, unsure Arnav, this whole persona taut with a undefined tension, A man who has found a gift beyond value is eager to savour it and at the same time a subconsious which isnt at peace, A man who knows khushi might not need rosy pictures, but she needs assurance and his inability to express him with words is running though him, he is strung like a guitar string with his own fears and insecurities, somewhere he is seeking his own assurance in the women he loves..

When Khushi reaches the room, he doesn't turn, lost in own conflict somewhere n her comfrontation with him abt the treatment hr tended in front of the famoly , once agn indirectly he points u matter I matter no one else, saying I called u u didn't respond,,,,

And then ag he gives/ thrusts a gift to her, once agn a small complain, but once agn he says I am like that with all my warts n blemishes u hv accepted me,,,,,

He doesn't let her speak once agn telling her he matters,,,,,,

The next scene where Khushi peeps in, a few months this small was screaming her lungs in fully clothed state jus by the mere presence in the room,today hesistantily enters the room, with backside,unsure abt her n him, his morality a cloak she carries arnd herself, once agn she hides her self behind the wardrobe, still unsure, ahe peeps once agn, like deer in the lights,trying to gauge the impending danger, but like always Arnav who is waiting at the recliner, feels her, may be with her breathing or sounds from the jewllery, he finds the most bewitching sight, one which tugs his heart, a half smile returns to his face, which was held long,,,,

I loved here this scene completely for 2 reasons because 1) he went to get the whole attire for her in red, like a bride is draped in red, and he is respecting her wish to be a bride when she joins her partner, complete with flowers n fairy light,e has tried to everything to make it for her, her choices, her preferences and 2) even thought Khushi isn't very comfortable in the attire, yet she steps out the bathroom completing the a cfance and the wish to be with him, listening him, for once she hasn't thrown a tantrum or stood against him! The moment her eyes land in the bed and unspdersrandingx dawns, we see him pride in the task he has undertaken, then he says y hide one ??"wahan kyun Khadi hi?"

And the answering reply abt the dupatta. And he proudly holds it outs to her, signifying he is the one who holds her honor, her dupatta, loved the way he held in front of him, hving her honor precedence to himself, he is her odhani from now on, he questions her will she take the rep towards him or he will complete the path, unsure of her reply, her hesitant stance, he walks to her, touches her, his eyes in line with her, both reading each other, understanding each other, and then he holds her hand lead the way, its was nice to see that even though he understood the need for her dupatta he doesn't gives her, he holds her hand as she is with out pretensions, without sham, he displays the complete acceptance of her with any dressings, any unwanted emotion between the man n women,,,,,,

He brings her to the centre of the room, gvs her odhani back intact completely wrapping it and then he hugs her, a assurance, a strength between them and he carries her to the bed one place where they will become one mind body n soul for him here Khushi is completely with him until the hug but somewhere her mind has some doubts, the moment her vision touches radhakishan she knows She cannot go beyond this as for her the world matters, the rituals matter

The moment she stops him, his concern tum theek to ho comes and hearing her reasoning he looses it, for him he has surrendered to her completely and yet she has doubts, the following terrace scene was once agn in line with his thoughts that no rituals or ceremony stand meaningful if there isn't. Implement acceptance, what is interesting here that for her he undertakes everything, for her to stand with him, he bends,,,,

This is the very same man who gv time as per the watch to his GF, in the jul-aug 2011 where she brings acake to celebrate.

The moment she utters abt the incomplete marriage, he emotions get converted to anger, for him the rituals & ceremony do not matter the acceptance and the belief matters, which he had got time n again when she stood by him in life threatening situations nsd for her he drags her to terrance under the stars which he knows holds the faith, she has taught him that stars are their present under those stars he gvs her the pheras. He isnt worried abt the no of the pheras or the vows bcz for him, they dunt matter she matters he is doing this her way and her continuing talks dunt matter but when she stops he realises his agze follows he gaze and he looks into granny,
Khushi fubles, he doesnt he stands tall proud in the choice he has made, he isnt relenting, looking straight ahead as if defing her challenging her to condemn, he complain, once he looks straight in her eyes and she moves back,

The moment khushi expresses her insecurities, he tell her dunt the feeling matter,,,, whoooaaa a complete 360d turn, A man who started without ever being bothered by feelings has pleaded abt feelings and to realise himself from the shackle which bind his heart, he cries in anger in despair,,,, I LOVE U DAMMIT

and when he leaves Khushi smiles, she has been always insecure in her realtionships only when they hv the power of words does she become at ease and tonite she got them.

The day he confessed his love to her on fone, in honesty she hadnt belived him and had cried for the loss,she had belived never in her life will she earn them for herself tonite he shun them to her in anger she smiles bcz she has earned them,,,this is the Arnav she understands, who doesnt speel it for but whose actions matter to her..

Personal thoughts

I hv always wondered in last few days primarily post shaym fiasco where we saw a growing acceptance and understanding between the two, that is it completely so and during the 12 day challenge it troubled me more, the more we saw the more my thoughts get confirmed that bcz Khushi has shared her past & present with Arnav he understands her completely the said n the unsaid but khushi stands weak here bcz she hasnt been privy to this mans past, she does understand him no doubts abt but its not complete, the day she gets to peep in his past will her love for him be completed,,,,,, for a bldg stands tall on the foundations,,, the foundations of arnav arent open to her.

Loved The Red Lengha he picked up for her⭐️

7-8 kitne phere😲

Dedication to Khushi & Arnav Singh Raizada

Where there is great love, there are always miracles.

For Khushi Tonite

The person who loves you more will fight with you daily without any reason,
But whenever you're sad that person will fight with the world to end your sadness...

Katein nahin kat te ye din ye raat,

kehni thi tumse jo dil ki baat

Lo aaj main kehta hoon

I love you(dammit)!! ...I love you(dammit)!

From bhagwan ki bhakti, to pyar ki shakti,

From dadi ke tevar, to mami ke zevar,

From Arnav ka gussa and nani ka pyaar, to khushi ka sharmana and phero ki deewar

From khushi ka rasamo ko yaad dilana to arnav ka ILU-DAMMIT keh jaana..

It was all there in this epi! And if you think the emotions have muddled my mind, it is an understatement.. My pathetic attempt at poetry solidifies that fact😆.

Thoughts to Ponder

Pooja and nok-jhok:

The epi starts with the practitioner liar that Anjali is becoming. But Mamiji, the bond has become suspicious.She only has to smell the smoke to find the fire and I think she has done that today! Will need to wait and see will she be the one who finally finds out the truth about Anjali bitiya's scret rendezvous.
Arnav still disturbed by the hurtful words Dadi had thrown at him calms down just at the sight of khushi. The minute he hears her and sees her in all her Khushi-ish avatar, his aching heart soothes! Lovely moment! Loved the acting here by Sanaya. She looked so natural.
Arnav removes the object that is not letting khushi succeed.Liked the symbolism here, that it is he who will always remove the obstacles that will come in her path. "Tum har kaam akele nahin kar sakti"..reiterated again!
The glass breaks and khushi falls down. It has to have some meaning. I hope I come to know what it is.
The whole nok-jhok was adorable. She again doesn't accept his hand to get up as defiance! And he is again surprised by her madness. 😆
The Pooja starts and it is first dadi who cleanses the idol followed by nani who decorates it with clothing and finally Anjali who crowns it. The water and the milk is given by Payal to Dadi. Maybe I am reading too much into this but does this mean, she will play an important part in cleansing of the house? removal of illusions and establishing the reality? I am perplexed!
Anjali looked sad till the crowing moment. She is missing shyaam and remembering the old days spent with him while doing the janamshtami pooja. He sure is knocking on the doorsteps of RM any moment now!
Arnav doesnt leave any chance to tease khushi, even it is non-verbal!😆
Liked the jhoola-jhulana part as it was done very naturally. Started with the elder most people, Dadi, nani, Mamiji, Anjali and then bada beta-bahu and chota-beta bahu! Nice touch of reality there!
Khushi's reaction at touching feet of dadi and nani are so varied and aptly so. She is hesitant and unsure while touching dadi's feet but her face beams with a smile the minute she is turned to naniji because she knows she will truly bless her!😃
Nani had to talk about grandchildren at Krishna janamdin! I so get it😆! The shy smile of payal in contrast to Khushi's nervous and "not you too" expressions. and how can Arnav not say anything about this. He leaves no stones unturned to declare his intentions.
Loved the game between the two when he wants to take her with him and she knowing what he wants will not give in. Finally he has to shout at her in front of everyone as the last resort. Because he knows she will not be able to avert that! She has to come otherwise family will question her.

The Bedroom:

Loved how even though she is terrified of what is to follow next, she still tells him he cant shout at her in front of everyone! That is such a wifey thing to do.😆
Only Arnav Singh Raizada can give a "gift" like that! and Only khushi kumari gupta singh Raizada can agree to accept that! Because she understands that this is the only way he speaks, commanding, authoritative but behind that facade are all sweet words that he intends.And he knows that she understands it now. They are truly soulmates.
I loved his impatience in the scene, he cant wait to see her in the dress he has selected, imagined her to be in. BS, wonderful acting.
The next scene was breathtaking. Her hesitance in coming forward, discomfort at wearing lehenga without duppata, worry at arnavji seeing her like that, his transfixed gaze at the beautiful sight in front of him, her anxiety at his gaze, her shocked reaction at seeing the decorated bed, his satisfied smile at the work well done, her horrified query about the duppata, knowing smile at her questioning, her astonishment at seeing him holding it and then stunned reaction at his next question.

"Ab tum yahaan aa rahi ho, ya main wahaan aaun".
It looked to me as if he is asking for permission as who will take the 1st step, she or him. And he awaits with bated breath for her to answer. When she does not object, it is only then that he moves! and he holds her hands and they walk together! he is telling her that they are together in this, in this next level of relationship!😃
And because she is hesitant, and he knows it, he again declares his love by giving back her duppata, draping it over her head every so lovingly, promising to always withhold her dignity and honor!😳
He does what he always love doing, sliding the hair back behind her ears. I loved loved how he gulped at that point. Tiny nuance but very effective.He would have dreamt of this moment, his khushi as beautiful as a vision standing in front of him and he sliding that hair back! Oiee!!😃

And to seal the promise he just made, he hugs her! To reassure her, to comfort her fears, to lessen her nervousness and most of all to tell her he loves her.I loved that hug!!

Loved Barun and Sanaya in the whole scene. Each and every moment was done to perfection. The nervousness, the fear, the happiness, the love and the passion...wao! Barun, specifically. The stare just before the hug stole my heart😳!
The radha-krishna murti jolts khushi back to present, the idol a reminder of their unfinished marriage. She stops him and his first concern is if she is ok. Aww! I know I am being Mushy, but then Arnav does that to me..😆
He gets angry only when she says the reason is their adhoori shaadi. I am sure if she would have said she is not comfortable or ready, he would have not made much out of that!😆 But its the "phera" word that angers him. Because in his heart, he is married to her. She is his wife and there is nothing that can negate that! He loves her mind, body and soul! and that is what matters..nothing else!

Terrace:

Here ,my mind screamed "terrace"...So it has finally come to terrace! The same place where his dreams were shattered once and today her dreams are being fulfilled. It was on terrace that he once arrived to declare his love but witnessed a lie that made him hate her. The same place which caused the separation of the two souls, today unites them! A beautiful way of establishing the fact that life comes to full circle!😃
The norms may not matter to him but he knows it matters to khushi. So in his way he sets to do things right! Here I loved the way he broke the stool just so that he can lighten them up to take the pheras. A fire that resembled his fire within. Fire of love, of passion, of showing it to her that all that matters is her, her and only her 😍!
His total fury at her for still giving importance to mere rituals like phera was so well executed! Loved his glare at khushi for refusing to take the pheras like that. So he takes matter in his own hands as he is adamant today to make her believe that she is Mrs ASR. It is not about him, not even about society, It is about her belief. He wants to ensure she accepts it whole heartedly that she is his wife and there is no doubt in her mind!
He doesnt even know how many pheras to take..he asks " 7 ya 8"..😆 kya jodi hai!! ek ko saare mantra ghut ke yaad honge...aur ek ye hai...😆
Liked the anger that he emoted and the desperation she did while taking the pheras. Loved BS and SI here!
Her absolute stunned reaction at seeing dadi...Khushi freaks out naturally and wants to get down. But Arnav holds on to her more tightly.

Communicating to her that he will not leave her side no matter what, that he is there to take care of things when required, that he is not scared of anyone thinking anything about their relationship because he knows it is pure, they love each other and that is what is important!

And he is also clearly telling dadi by his stance that he is unfazed at her glare at him , unfazed that she has caught them like that, not disturbed at all even is she knows about their incomplete marriage. No matter what, he will not leave her!

I loved loved that stance of his, that absolute indifference at Dadi catching them like that 😛.
Dadi is angry, sad and dissapointed to see his grandson like that. Her small nod of dissaproval so very effective and to the mark! It hits khushi where she wants it! Wonderfully enacted as well!
A visibly upset Khushi berates him for making things more difficult to her, a visiby furious Arnav tries to make her understand that there is nothing wrong with him holding her in front of dadi.
khushi troubled about Dadi fiding about the pheras, Arnav enraged at khushi for giving so much significance to rituals.
Khushi Adamant on highlighting the importance of riti and riwaaj and Arnav rabid at her disregard to the importance of feelings.

Loved the heightened passion, love and fury in the scene! BS and SI were fabulous.👏
Finally the golden words are said in a total ASR style! Her stunned silence at his words, his anger at trying to make her hear whats in his heart and that beautiful BG music was all splendid! A perfect confession by a perfect man!😳
Loved how he just walks off after saying whats in his heart. He knows he doesnt have to say anything else, no explanations, nothing. Its his way of telling her "Bas keh diya".😆
How much ever a woman might be angry on her soulmate, the minute he whispers or in this case shouts the words of love, of promise, of togetherness, she has to melt. And thats what khushi did. That smile was her confession but he wasnt there to see it.I am sure she will say it in her own way just like he said it😳.

The dhamaaka is set for tomorrow! Dadi will spill the beans and a new storm will rise. But Arnav is going to be the pillar of strength for khushi when her character and morals are questioned tomorrow. And that gives me so much of happiness and contentment! And hence, I sleep with peaceful and happy dreams today!

Love, Sumi

Hi Reduxians, 🤗Thanks to all the readers and people who have commented.

No quotes today...will add if time permits. Enjoy!

Priya se milne ke liye bola jhoot, aise to sabka vishvaas jayega toot!

Jab aayega satya sammukh, kya jhel paaogi Anjali, woh dukh?

Apno se jo kiya hai ghaat... Kya reh jayega shesh haat?

For meeting her beloved a lie was uttered. Trust will crumble with this action.

When the truth will come out...Will you be able to stand the pain, Anjali?

You have betrayed your loved ones', you will be left empty handed.

Jhanki hai pyaari, dekhon hain aaye bal nandgopal!

Sab jan mil dikha rahein hain pyaar-dulaar!

It is a beautiful view, here comes Nandgopal!

He is the apple of everyone's eye.

Savinay nivedan hai piya ka, jiski kar di hai upeksha|

Phir aaya hai aisa aadesh, usko nahi kar sakti andekha!

Mila hai ek upahaar, dhaaran kar aajao...

Aisa bataya apna vichaar|

It was a request from the beloved, which has been ignored.

Now come the order, how will she ignore it?

She got a gift, which she has to wear, this was a request now it is an order!

Vastron mein hain aisa roop, Piya ho gayein hain mantra-mugdh!

Preyasi ko aarahi hai lajja, dekh kar apna swaroop aur shayangruha ki sajja!

Piya bhi hain shararti bade, dupatta liye haath shaan se hain khade|

Her beauty is enchanting, her spouse is bewithched!

She is shy at her appearance and the decorated room.

Spouse is very mischevious as he has kept the dupatta with him.

Sajaa ke use, yun jaise ho dulhan, sej par sajaya, bas ab hona hai milan!

Decorating her like a bride. He made her sit on the bed...for their union!

De diya bhale hi man, kaise arpan karon yeh tan...

Jab vivah nahin hua humara poorna sampann?

I have given you my heart, but I'm not ready to give myself.

when our wedding vows are not completed.

Do vipareet vichaardharaon ka dwand!

Prem hai pramukh ya poorna Vivah-sambandh?

Dono ka apna mahatwapoorna sthaan,

Par gupt vivah abhi bhi nahin hain samaj mein maanya...

Do vayaskon ke nirnaya par aaj bhi uthaye jaatein hain sawaal...

Premikon ka na hota aaj bhi bura haal!

It is a clash of thought...

Love is important or marriage? Both have their own importance.

Elopement and marriage is still looked down upon in society...

Otherwise why two adults are questioned about their relationship?

Lover's would not be crucified.

Prem hota hai tabhi saakaar, jab sambandhon ko mile adhaar aur adhikaar!

Varna ban jata hai yeh, stree ke astitva par prasna-chinha...

Samaj mein jiski sthiti ban jaati hai heen|

Love is considered complete when it is give a relation and the rights.

Otherwise it casts questions of a woman's character.

Such woman is always disgraced in the society.

Jisne dekha ho vivah ko hote dhvasta? Uske liye yeh sab hain kankal...

Vivah ka nahin koi astitva...Reeti riwaj sab hain bas janjaal!

Prem rehta hai tab bhi satya, chahe na mile use sambandhon ka adhikaar...

Kathin hai usko yeh samajhana...

Kyun hai mahatvapoorna vaidha sambandh yeh batlana!

If one has seen the end of Marriage.

For that person it is just a skeleton of relationship.

Marriage has no existence, it is just nuisance!

Love always remains, even when it is not named...

So, it is hard to explain to such a person

What is the importance of legal relationship.

That I Love you Dammit!!!

================================================

With the Above out of the way,we can move forward!!!

================================================

Rukaavat Ke Liye Khed Hai!

Some times I really wish the PH will invest a few bucks in the above sign.. with the number of interruptions going around during the blissful Arhi moments!😡

Each member of the family should be walking around with the sign of their own! Even Laxmi ji should be adorned with a bell of her own!!

Atleast the general public and especially phangurls would be appeased a bit by the apology after the interruption!

If the sign is too much of an effort then a pic of dadi with her hand raised to stop will suffice!!

I never thought that I would see the day where Khushi herself would interrupt the fulfillment of her dreams and desires.. but just this once I am happy for the Rukaavat!!

================================================

An episode which leaves you with such a mixture of feelings..

At one moment you are with 14 year old boy, still brooding over the confrontation with his grandmother, whom he had loved so much.. A grandmother who was once a huge part of his small existence.. Whom he expected to be by his side.. but LEFT him, when he needed her the most.. He is just beginning to get steady on his legs and she is back in his life now after 14 years of non-existence demanding explanations and pinning accusations of the things she has no clue about.. She not only insulted his wife, but also is tainting the memories of his beloved mother!

The next moment you are laughing at our Sanaka Devi.. who is pushing, pushing and pushing.. but to no avail.. Whether she was successful in moving that trunk of hers or not, she was definitely successful in bringing Arnav, the proud husband out of his misery and once again bring a smile to his face.. The husband once again amused at the stupidity of his wife.. Her actions a reminder of why he loves this sweet, little naive girl.. A girl who never gives up, no matter how big or small the task is.. He helps her, only for her to land on her back and hurting herself! Khushi flies off the minute she sees him.. Looking back at him before leaving with an accusatory glance!! telling him.. You are the reason I am all flustered today! Mentally cursing him and herself for being like this and being affected like this respectively!

The family gets together and pays respect to Lord Krishna with the rituals and aarti! What a difference from last year! Last year he had to be tricked into coming down and be a part of the auspicious occasion, this year, he is a willing participant, not because his views and beliefs have changed.. but only because he does not want to spend a moment away from his delicious wife, then necessary.. During the aarti he manages to steal glances at the ravishing beauty of his wife.. He steps forward to gently rock Lord Krishna's cradle and take the blessings from their elders.. A picture perfect couple.. Ever an opportunist, when nani asks them to gift her grandchildren, he again uses the opportunity to rile her up further..

His patience finally starts wearing thin.. You know how its like.. the last few minutes are the hardest to pass.. Once all the mundane household things are done.. He wants her to join him.. She knows what is awaiting her, so she is trying her best to avoid him and stay in the safe sanctuary of the family members.. But she forgot one thing.. If he could shout in front of a whole load of strangers in a temple to get her attention.. right now he was in his palace, where he was the king.. He would definitely do whatever is required to get her into his lair!! He commands her to come with him in front of all, shocking everyone including her!

Once again he hands her the gift without any ceremony and asks her to wear it.. She questions him, how could he talk to her like that in front of everyone.. And was this the way to gift something to his wife??? I loved the way he says... Aisa hi hoon main! How true.. Isn't this the man we fell in love with.. Who is obstinate and can be obnoxious at times, but you still love him because he is him! You don't love him despite his faults,, you love him more because of his faults.. You love him because he has no idea how to be gentle, how to speak sweetly, how to sugar coat.. He is what he is.. Whatever good or bad, he is right in front of you.. He does not care what you think about him, how you judge him.. He will not alter himself just because you ask him.. He will show you his love and his regret in his own way.. His love will always be laced with anger and his anger will always be full of love.. Because he is a PASSIONATE man!

He loves with all his being.. and all his heart.. hence his emotions tend to be volatile..

Khushi finally goes into the bathroom to change into what he had gifted her.. He looks at the suitcase with a look of determination.. No time to loose.. Lots of work to be done before Khushi changes and comes! A person who professed to not believe in love, marriage, rituals.. sure is going to long lengths to please his lady love.. Setting the stage for suhaag Raat.. rather decorating the room for it!

She tiptoes out of the bathroom, conscience of her attire.. She watches him, sitting with his back towards her.. He hears her making noise and turns around to look at her.. Only to be awestruck by her sheer beauty! You know one of the best things I like about Arnav.. Its the love that reflects in his eyes! To find out how much he loves her, you just need to look into them and you will know.. His single glance conveys how dearly he treasures her.. his face lights up the minute his gaze settles on her.. Whenever she is present, no one else exists for him! there is a spark in him which is ignited only when she is around!

She bickers what kind of lehenga choli is this?? does not have any dupatta.. He holds out the dupatta for her.. and asks her to come and get it.. If she won't, then he will.. Loved this scene for its simple beauty.. Needless to say that Khushi was a vision to behold if we see from Arnav's eyes! He wanted to drape the dupatta herself.. The final act of dressing her up as a bride was draping the dupatta.. and he wanted to do that act himself.. to tell her that she is HIS BRIDE! Not only that.. without dupatta Khushi felt exposed.. and Arnav was the one to adorn it!! Dupatta/pallu is often referred to as a woman's lajja vastra.. something that protects their honour..

Could it be an indication that once Khushi feels threatened or her purity and dignity is questioned, Arnav will be the one to shield her and return her izzat to her.. he will be the one to protect her honour and redeem her in everyone's eyes including her!

He openly stares at her.. removing the locks of hair which dared to obstruct his view of her flawless beauty.. No longer able to contain his love for her, He embraces her, holding her to himself lovingly.. calming down his racing heart.. trying to make himself believe that she is right in front of him and not merely a vision, a hallucination, a dream.. There was relief coursing through his body cos he finally had her where he wanted and he was going to make her his FOREVER just like he had promised to himself when he had hurt her with those words about never having met her.

Khushi tentatively returns his embrace.. Her fear of this newly developed feelings evident but still trying to walk all the way with him like he wanted.. She has accepted him as her husband in her mind and heart and there was nothing that would hold her back now! She was sure of her love for him.. she was confident of his feelings for her.. He has constantly been trying to prove that the contract did not matter.. She was plain tired of fighting her feelings, her love, her desires for him.. She wanted to free herself from everything that had chained her and lose herself in this moment with him.. She wanted to live her life as his wife as much as he wanted to.. She let go of the inhibitions and lifted her hands to his shoulders, bringing him closer.. telling him, that she was ready now!

He lifts her up tenderly.. places her on the heart of rose petals.. closes the distance between them, once again Khushi shies away from him.. Khushi unable to look at him, turns her head away.. Her eyes fall on the idol of the eternal lovers Radhekrishna.. on seeing the idol, she remembers the discussion which took place in the hall only the day before and how the marriage is incomplete without the pheras and the promises that a man and a woman make before they can become man and wife.. Her elder sister's voice of reason rang in her ears and once again stopped her from committing a blunder! I liked that it was payal's words that reminded her of her folly and values.. ans spurred her into halting Arnav to go further! If she had taken this step, she would have never been able to forgive herself.. She would have lost respect for herself in her eyes! She took pride in her self-respect and she could not let go of it so easily cos that was the only thing that was left of her for herself!

ASR not a man known for his patience finally has had enough! He has been bottling his feelings for too long.. He was at the end of his tether.. He had been so torn, lost, angry in the last 6 months.. Then when he found her only to lose her, he was scared out of his wits.. Today when he thought that they would take the next BIG step in their relationship, he was stopped again!

He could not understand what she was saying? what rituals? What pheras? she was making no sense..

The past 6 months, they have shared the same home, same room and even the same bed.. They have been living as husband and wife in the eyes of the world.. slowly and steadily the realisation that they were husband and wife not only for the world but also for each other had seeped in.. They had opened their hearts and soul to each other.. And now that very person who was imprinted on his heart, tells him that they are not married because they have not taken some pheras!

He didn't care about the rituals.. He was sure of his feelings.. He knew what she meant to him and he meant to her.. He knew that he was in this for life.. She was his wife not because she wore mangal sutra tied by him and her forehead had sindoor of his name.. She was his wife because they were in love with each other, they cannot live without each other.. She meant everything to him.. and no rituals can make a difference to that.. He did not need a stamp from the society,, and he definitely did not need acceptance from others to tell him that he was her husband! He knew it, She understood it, that was enough!

But if the damn pheras meant so much to her.. she can have that also.. He takes her to the terrace, his rage getting the better of him.. He lights the fire, and when she refuses to take pheras like that, lifts her in his arms and starts taking them.. This meant nothing to him..

Khushi a traditional girl from the start.. who believed in the rituals and what they stood for, trying her best to make him see her point.. But he was oblivious to her words.. If this was not enough, her eyes clash with the disapproving eyes of his dadi! The woman already hated her for some unknown reason and now she has witnessed this.. What if had she heard that they were not even married properly..

Arnav, forever a stubborn man, who stood up for what he wanted, no matter what, did not budge, did not give in under the stern gaze of his dadi... he did not let her interruption sway him.. After all he was not doing anything wrong! She was his wife.. They were on the terrace of their home? What objection can the old lady have to this??

But his wife was not ready to back down! She kept on rambling about rituals, society, people, blessings.. All that for what? What matters most? what people feel for each other.. or what the society feels for them? Why does a relationship need to be accepted by the society? Will it change what they feel?

will it alter their relation? What if the relation is unacceptable to the society, then what about the love 2 people hold for each other? What will the rituals give them which they already do not have??

Khushi asked him.. if nothing matters.. then what is it that matters..

Months of burying the feelings, hiding his love, ignoring his emotions, forgetting his love for her, torturing himself by hating her even though he love her.. came bubbling up the surface and exploded like a volcano!!

All that matters is THAT I LOVE YOU DAMMIT!!

all the pain, longing, frustration wrapped up in those words that he shouted at the top of his lungs.. He was ready.. He has accepted her as his wife.. It was her turn to close the distance.. Her chance to figure out what matters? Society or him.. She needs to figure out where they stand in the relationship!

A smile broke on her face.. she could not believe he said that loud.. She knew he loved her.. but to hear them out loud, made her feel like the most important person in the world.. She was not sure whether to laugh or cry!

Well, neither do I.. Arnav walked off in frustration and anger.. anger at his helplessness.. He was shattered.. He felt rejected.. But she will heal him forever.. we jus need to wait and watch! 😊

Love

I watch the Show only for Barun...n he never disappoints me... Since my point of focus is only him... I'm always a 'happy Viewer'...

Coming to the episode,
I have always disliked Rituals... Disliked Crowd... Felt not talking to anyone for hours and days... And kept on talking with not even one word reaching to my heart... Thats why, when I see Arnav, I relate to each and every emotion he goes through...

I was So happy to see the 'tumhi dekho naa' being played out today... No...not because I Love the Romance, bt, i'm restless to see the past...

But, why do I feel, the scenes we saw today, hav a crucial Flash back tomorrow, frm Arnav's POV... I dont know...!

I watch the Show frm My Pov... And frm there, 'Arnav's feelings' hav the depth of an Ocean... And its far more precious than any Ritual...

'Feelings...' bt, whose? ARNAV's... Sorry, that are just 'fleetings'... He doesnt hav a ritualistic heart and a 'bhawanofied' feeling...? Right..?

'No Ritual is greater than the acceptance of
a 'true feeling' in your heart...

I have always believd 'HATE' is a much stronger emotion than 'LOVE', Bcoz... 'Love' needs a lot of things like 'care, affection, attraction, infatuation, crush, protective instinct, possesiveness, adoration, understanding, jealousy, sacrifice' etc to hold it Together... Bt 'HATE' needs only 'hate' to thrive for years...

Thats why a 'MARRIAGE' always needs Rituals... Becoz it is weak... It needs every other 'supporting' thread to 'hold it together' and prevent u frm Falling out...'

where as 'LOVE' never has any Rituals... And it remains even after 'marriages are Broken'...

Why is 'DIVORCE' just a legal paper... And hav no 'rituals'...? Becoz there, it can stand n fight against, without any 'supporting' thread.

Why do people married for a 'lifetime' with all rituals, get ' seperated' even aftr the strong hold of 'ritual n social threads' on them?

Why do people after a 'divorce'... Never go back into that Marriage, Even when there are no 'rituals' holding them back?

There comes the 'Acceptance'... The 'acceptance' of 'being each others'...which Arnav n Kushi has... N which unfortunatly, Arnav has in a greater Degree.

Once he 'accepts' there is nothing that Questions him. His Love Isnt 'acidic'. Its his 'base'... N if His Lover wants a Marriage to accept her 'Love' wholeheartedly, then There is nothing wrong...

"Acceptance Comes From Heart, and Heartless Arnav has 'accepted' it..." if a few circles, can complete his love n get him the 'trust of his Lover'... Then, so be it...

I'm not good at analysing... Bt Sathya, if u remember, i had earlier told you... 'Arnav will get a 'rapist' tag' by the end of d episode... And I was right... Though i wanted to be wrong...

'Kushi ya Kudhkushi'... If thats the choice I have to make in the forum... Then it will be 'KHUD KUSHI',... Anytime,... anyday. ofcourse 'khudkushi' of my 'user Id'...😉

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

James Allen

Khushi's character has always intrigued me more than Arnav. And that's for a reason. The reason is her hidden emotions. It never is ever clear to us her pathos. You know what I was thinking, may be just may be the her pain cup is so full and up to the brim that any little drop you add to it, it will over flow. And will cause chaos in her mind. Which she is not ready to deal with. She wants no part of it. Yes we know that she was orphaned at a tender age of 8. You are just entering your dream world then. You have made a best friend for life. You cannot think if parting from her. Your world is going to school, asking mommy to make your favorite dish, taking sides is school, may be want to be a teacher's pet, ask your daddy dear to take you out for a fun ride, ask him to take you to a park, attend birthday parties.. etc. But what did she face. Complete cut off from them and waiting for her parents to return. That never happened. And suddenly she was now with two strangers who were acting like her parents. It was definitely a different world. She had to learn the ropes all together. New world and new set of rules. New friends. New surroundings. She had to make a deal at a tender age. To be Khushi or not to be Khushi. So she choose the former. And how. She learnt that bringing smile on people's face made her happy. So for that she could go to any extent. In the process she became family buffoon. Sanka Devi. Whose sanak had no end!! Now we get it don't we.

And poor girl it never ended for her. If nothing, DM should have made her life simple. She getting married to a simple man and lets keep everything simple. Na Huh!! That didn't happen. She had to cross path with Arnav Singh Raizada. Complexity thy name. They had to meet often. They had to start on a wrong note. They had to fall in love. And marry for all the wrong reason. Before all this entered Shyam Manohar Jha. Filth Thy name. He created enough turbulence in her life for no reason . And finally when she gave up on Shyam with that much needed slap, she didn't even get time to mourn. Already the next phase was knocking her door. The only moment she broke down was with a simple mundane chore. Opening the door of her closet and arranging her clothes. She completely broke down. An outlet to her deep miseries that was. But it was only for few seconds. She had to come back to reality. Being a buffoon again. She had messages to deliver, again a task of making people happy around her. Again the same expectation.

OK. All said and done. She entered RM as Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada. Created enough commotion with this. No one accepted her. And they asked her reason which she didn't have. She accepted her fate after few days. Made a new best friend. A goat. No one was on her side except her babuji. I have said this so many times and never get tired of telling again. That day what she say in her babuji's eyes, his silent support, his way of assuring her that he still believes her, was just enough for her. She decided to accept what ever was dished at her and she set forth for next journey. And finally was made known the very reason for her marriage.

So for her a marriage with a clause. "If" clause that is. Everything will be happy in her world provided Anjali is happy. If for any reason Anjali is not happy, she will definitely face the heat. See we should not blame Arnav here. We should be happy that he cares so much for his sister that he has made it his priority. Its only circumstances or call it destiny that Khushi is in it. This girl has so whole heartedly accepted it. She has made it her priority too. That is selfless love. That is unconditional love. No sire!! I am not comparing Arnav's love for Khushi and Khushi's love for Arnav. I am just focusing on our dear girl. Arnav no doubt loves her beyond Khushi's imagination. She is really a lucky girl. What I am trying to say is why Khushi is Khushi. Why we don't see pain in her eyes like Arnav. She never pities herself. She never brings that she is an orphan and deprived of love. Because long back she has dealt with it as a matured girl. She has told herself that in order for me to make my mark in this world, I better be one among them. That don't want to be a loner. Come what may, I will deal it with a smile!! Because that is all the weapon I have and that is all the treasure I have got. My zillion watt SMILE!! And that's the root cause of her fighting spirit. She is a crusader for seeing life in positivity!!!

Regarding Today's episode:

The most important scene for was the trunk that was drawn by Khushi. Beautiful.Past is knocking..slight hindrance,ASR unblocks,Khushi falls and gets hurt. Refuses his help. But I am sure its all good. Everyone needs to start with clean slate. And its about time.

The following post is from Sheila the Girl.. Its an addiction I tell you.. You will never want to miss hers..ENJOY!! 😃

Where to start ...where to end... what to say...what not to say... Clearly I'm in one of my moods which IPKKND and only IPKKND can put me in... I'm in love... I'm looking at the world with rose tinted glasses... so please I would advice you if you decide to continue to read the following post is overflowing in mush and might induce nausea (I'm kidding I know you guys are just as crazy as I am). So here goes...

Mr. ASR has S**(ahem) on his mind... He has decided it is about time he gets some... the answer to all the frustration he has been carrying around forever and 2 days... what is more fun then waiting for night to arrive, is driving his wife mad... He knows she is nervous... any girl would be... so does he take it easy on her... NOPE!!! He teases her to no end... Watches her and makes sure she knows he is watching... but this time there is a little naughtiness in his stare(dude my heartbeat quickened nevermind Khushi). Then when he heard the blessing from Nani well that was the cherry on top of the cake... And finally it was a decent time for them to retire to their bedroom... This time he is going to IRON BOLT the door!

Khushi on the other hand likes to think she can do all things... after all she has had years of not having to depend on anyone but herself, so when a problem comes her way she puts all her might in solving it... She works hard... But not smart, for that she has ASR, he sees what the real issue is and removes it, but Khushi doesn't realize that the problem is solved already and pushes with all her might, cause other unpleasent things to happen and hurting herself, yet ASR stands there and and offers her help...which she refuses...but he now knows her... she will come to him if she really can't manage her problems...he knows that... she won't come to him for every little thing...he actually loves her move for that. Khushi on the other hand doesn't like that she is coming to depend on him oh so much...SHE DOESN'T LIKE IT ONE BIT.

Then every excuse he gets he stares at her... tries to crop a feel when no one is looking... and when he can ligitimately can... he makes her uncomfortable by enjoying her touch way too much...This is not appropriate behavior for Indian households (I mean we Indians reached 1.2 Billion in population by immaculate conception!)

Finally all the rituals are over... Arnav approaches Khushi, swaggers up to her and tells her to follow him... he was going to charm her socks (or sari) off. He wants her... He barely can control himself...

Khushi knows exactly whats on his mind... how can he think this way...and he expects me to just follow him... LIKE HELL!!!!

ASR is now getting really R.E.A.L.L.Y frustrated... I mean he has had way too many cold showers since he met KKG and since she became KKGSR he wants her ...and today he is going to have her... what the hell was she doing anyways... really she thinks she can avoid me... Thats it... NOW I WILL ORDER HER TO COME TO ME...AND IN THIS HOUSE NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE DISOBEYS ME!!!

Khushi doesn't want to go to him... she knows what he wants to do ... she knows she shouldn't be giving in... she knows she might not able to control herself... but she has to... she tries to pick a fight with him... tries to take his mind of what he wants to do... but she knows when she knows from the steel look in his eyes she better comply or he will dress her up himself...

Arnav has reached the peak of his frustration... He is just waiting for her to walk in the door... now added to the frustration he is angry more with himself than with her...he had wanted to charm her... gently lead her down the road of discovery... instead he was fuming,... half from frustration and the other half from disbelief that she is actually avoiding him...Then she trying to pick a fight with him...seriously...women you have no idea what I can do right now... just dammit do what I tell you... you better get out of my sight or I'll tear ... Thank Whomever she complied... now back to charming her where is that damn suitcase... this task of decorating at the speed of light atleast has my mind distracted... but lets just say anticipating is building is the understatement of year shall we...

Khushi comes out of the bathroom but is hesitating...she only came out because she was sure he would break the door down if she didn't...it was already uncomfortable enough when the bed broke imagine explaining the broken bathroom door... where the hell was the dupatta anyways... she saw the bed...OMG...and then Arnav lifted his eyes and looked at her... she couldn't help it... her breathing was already like a certain Mr Bolt when he breaks world records like there is no tomorrow... but she was trying to hid herself from him...

Arnav knew why she was uncomfortable...hidding behind the cupboard...well serves her right for keeping her waiting...but then his eyes fell on her... this was so much more than anything he ever felt... his love overflowed... He still had to tease her a bit though... but he realized that she was too uncomfortable... he went to her...lead her out of her little hidding space... she will never beable to hide from me...ever... and then draped the duppatta on her head... today she will be my BRIDE!!!! with that he lifted her in his arms and put her on his "REINFORCED" bed...

Khushi has never felt so torn in her life...here is a man she knew never in her wildest dreams would accept any women as his wife and here he was crowing her with his love...for a second she closes her eyes...its because it feels so right... but because it feels right is it really right she heard herself think... I want to give it...she thinks... he will never hurt me again... but does that mean you throw your beliefs away... but I love him as much as he loves me... but does this love mean anything without binds and promises and proclaimation to the world?...Khushi can't let him continue... she can't!

WHAT The PHERAS!!!! Really... I'm about to be monkified (you know from not getting any) and she wants PHERA's I'll give her phera's alright... Ohhh breaking this stool was a good vent for my frustrations there is another one... I'll break that tooo... then may be I'll be able to hold it in for a little longer...

OMG he has lost it... LOST IT!!!! he did the same thing before and now he is doing the same thing again...when is he going to understand what I want...(when he is a little less frustrated and has gotten some kind of action Khushi)

And finally the great ASR confronts his feelings... they are more important than ritual that society demands... and norm that is thrown on by humanity... FINALLY Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada gives control to his wife... Because at the end of the day HE LOVES HER DAMMIT!!!!

Guys I don't know why I'm writing this way... its the mush in my brain

I tell you...

I know that this confession of love demands a serious post... an observant one...one that connects all the dots... unfortunately... I'm not in that state of mind infact... I'm floating somewhere above cloud nine... its like ASR said I love u to me... crazy is what have become... But I fully expect us to have a bumpy ride back to reality tomorrow!!!! (please prove me wrong CV's ... P.L.E.A.S.E.)

Also I have been reading that a number of shows are showing liplock(then cannot be called Kissing) scenes. See here is what I have to say... In bollywood actors have to pretend to be dating to create buzz for a movie and highlight chemistry... In IPKKND, BS and SI have to go out of their way to say that they are ARE NOT SINGLE!!!! AND ARE VERY INVOLVED WITH THEIR BETTER HALVES!!! In Bollywood... they need to have a sex scene to heat up the screen... In IPKKND they just have to look at each other and play Rabba Vey and we'll write the hot scene for them...

So kiss or no kiss either way works... No pressure CV's if you feel like you need it then do it ...if not we can do without it...

Also I love that after the songs they go into Rabba Vey because at the end of the day no tune captures Arnav and Khushi like Rabba Vey does... and I don't have to tell you that!

And Finally...

I'm wondering guys if you know the feeling of having your socks blow off... When I watched the end of the thomas crown affair I had that feeling... when I watched the first 10 mins of the dark knight I had that feeling... the last 10 minutes of Kahaani I had that feeling... When I read the redux I feel like a cannon ball hit me in the chest... an example...

Master T:

I loved the scene simply for the tasks undertaken by the elderly ladies, ladies directly related by the Blood.. Dadi cleans and purifies the Little Krishna, Nani clothes and protects him , Anjali steps forward and crowns him !!..Beautiful scene this..Arnav , the little boy is fully immersed in the values n teachings of Dadi, he is drenched in her ethos , while it was Nani who took him in , sheltered him n protected him...Anjali it was who crowned him the king, who made him the head of the house ..and in future too, Arnav will be the one who will donning the Crown and it will be him who will be placed on the throne...

Guru D:

Sandhya (mommamia)

That never happened. And suddenly she was now with two strangers who were acting like her parents. It was definitely a different world. She had to learn the ropes all together. New world and new set of rules. New friends. New surroundings. She had to make a deal at a tender age. To be Khushi or not to be Khushi. So she choose the former. And how. She learnt that bringing smile on people's face made her happy. So for that she could go to any extent. In the process she became family buffoon. Sanka Devi. Whose sanak had no end!! Now we get it don't we.

So everyone has been asking mewhy I write under Sandhya's ID but chat under mine (I've just discovered chat as if I needed to kill more time talking about IPKKND). Honestly, I have no idea why someone as insightful as Sandhu wants me to write everyday... why we connected...why we became friends...(why I'm afraid of the cyber danda). But all that I can say is thank you IPKKND... without whom I would have never met her...

To the others who have enlightened my path... JJ, Shaz,Koel,Jrai... and everyone else... Thank you... (you guys can blame these gals who encourage me to write tolkein novels size posts)

And ladies that was my two cents for today

Love Always

P.S. Not going to be sticking around so please PM me your comments. Also I don't know why I wrote in this style today... hope you guys liked it anyways.
