IP REDUX ; Pani Grahan !!

Heyy Gurls,😃











A episode full of FB's , Pain, Tears, Hope, ..A episode which brought in the first spell of healing ... The ghosts of the past slowly paving the way for the future of love !!


The episode began with Arnav demolishing the benches in his mother's garden, The ever present destructive anger bubbling up to the surface , The impotent fury needing a passage to egress , His anguish is so intense that not even the destruction of the benches in the sacrosanct garden gives him the relief that he craves, Arnav gives himself up to despair , knees buckling , he knuckles under the weighty blows delivered by fate ...The tears of the Child rolling down the Man's cheeks ... when his eyes alight on a rose that has been crushed under the bench... He holds the rose, his tortured heart taking him instantly to the happy days , of a moment when he was to learn a lesson in life which was to be implemented in future..He recollects his mother saying , not to give punishment to another for the guilt of the other , never to destroy cos in the process of destruction of the loved one, we too annihilate ourself..


What I loved in this scene was the tone of positivity ...The comparison of Khushi to the rose !! ... His wanton act has crushed the innocent flower , his act was not premeditated nor conscious , when Arnav observes that the Rose is crushed, Does he just leave it at that , No !!, He removes the object that is pulverizing the flower, He lifts the flower from the dirt and elevates it to higher realms , He remembers the promise he has made to Khushi and rushes to fulfill it ...The words of his Mom resonating from the grave and still guiding him towards the correct Path, The words spoken so long ago becoming the beacon for tomorrow ...Beautiful ... Also loved the fact that it will be Arnav who will be removing the guilt that is grinding the Gupta's to the earth..



While in the Mandap, Garima , The Mother is unable to see her daughter writhing in pain, The girl whose smile lit the whole room, the girl who was the life of both the houses now sits lost, lifeless waiting for Arnav to resuscitate her ...Garima walks to Khushi and seeks her forgiveness , The daughter quickly reassures her mother that she does not hold her Mom responsible for the current fiasco and that the past shall not rule the present.. she turns her face away from her mom as she obstinately avers that her Arnavji will come to her...


The play of daughter and Lover , one being the strength, the pillar and the support while the other wages a war within herself, her own fragility in conflict with her obstinate resolve ,The stubborn refusal to even consider the alternative was well brought out by Sanaya as was the shocked disbelief on Garima's face when she understands that Khushi is still holding on to the belief that Arnav will come...Pyumori shone in that brief second.


The attempts to din sense into the head of resolute Khushi , Unable to see te plight of the orphaned Khushi, Buaji sends in her niece to comfort her, to get her to face reality, The Niece and sister fails in her endevour , incapable of seeing the young bird still wrestling with the thorns that has pricked on to her breasts, slowly killing her , Buaji tries to put the reality across to Khushi who refuses to acknowledge it while on the other side, Her prince is seen racing thru , cutting across darkness like a Arrow released from the bow ..



My only grouse at this point is with Khushi's dialogue...instead of parroting , "Woh aayenge" showing her implicit trust in her love and Arnavji...would it have killed it, had she been made to say," Itni badi baat ke baad woh toot chukke honge, Humain unnke liye yahan rukna hi hoga aur hum unka intezar karenge "...In one shot u are showing that she has trust in her lover, she understands the agony of her lover and she wants to be the strength and not allow him to collapse..but by ,"Woh aayenge", she comes across as a self absorbed lover confident in their love ...



The attempts to reconcile Khushi to the facts continue, The 3ladies of Gupta house try to pull her up , but a strident and voluble Khushi refuses to budge , As a last resort , Buaji even gives a stinging slap , tells Khushi that Arnav will not come, The fires have turned to ashes , but the eternal optimist does not see the coal , she see the embers that are still glowing red , the embers still awaiting to burst into fire.Khushi vows that She will not move away from her assigned spot ...while Shyam continues to smirk unseen ..


Did I say My only grouse , then I said wrong coz here comes the second one when Khushi says , Agar woh aayen ..instead of JAB woh aayenge..That Agar shows that her words are not words of trust but of bravado .. Was that the purpose ?? Khushi shown as insecure not confident but battling her fears...??

The storm is going to intensify and it will not be a easy resolution but when things seem almost lost.. there will still be the light of the stars to guide the way home...




Arnav is driving towards his goal, his mind a whirlpool of memories as he remembers his sisters broken marriage , his mom's speech on trust, Khushi waiting for him, Khushi coming into his life, Khushi reposing his faith in him.. then the hurtful reminder surfaces where Dadi informs him on the woman who virtually killed his Mom ...


Why was Arnav rushing towards Khushi, was it bec love was tugging at his heart strings or was it his sense of duty, of his determination not to inflict the same fate that his sister had to endure when her own marriage came to abrupt halt, was it bec he did not want to be like his father and break the trust of Khushi ...Barun was fab in this part, The opne hurt face while remembering his Mom, sister and khushi turning quickly into a stony face as he remembers that Garima is the Woman... !! Beautiful...



The rush of memories continues unimpeded as his mind focuses on the tribulation Khusi has undergone for him, the pain that she has withstood, her unconditional acceptance of him, her trust in him ..The word TRUST seems to loom large in his mind more than the issue of betrayal by Garima but is it suppressed, squashed no, the bitterness refuses to go as Dadi's words reverberate constantly even though he is rushing towards Khushi, The past too is heading towards them .. carried within him..


The recollection's of Arnav continues as he remembers quite vividly the day he almost lost Khushi, he Panic of that day again registering on his face afresh , Arnav sees her falling down and in nick of time he sees that he is on a collision course , He inadvertently calls out to HIS Khushi as he tries to steer out of trouble, fighting to stay in control as his vehicle veers off course , Khushi who is in the Mandap hears him and cries out to Arnav , calling out his name and rushing towards him ... while here Arnav has got out of the way of the monster truck...


Interesting usage of FB's .. Arnav is heading straigh towards his doom, unmindful of the consequence when it is the fall of Khushi that jerks him out of his reverie , makes him acquainted with the reality and he tries to swerve out of troubles way, He manages to avoid the accident only when Khushi's voice reaches him ... Will it be something happening to his love that will save him , Will Khushi be the person who will pull him out of the abyss ... Yes !!



Khushi instinctively understands that Arnav is in trouble n rushes towards him stopped by NK who tries to drill some sanity into her when Khushi realizes that the embers too have died down , Not the words of her Mom, Her Buaji, The words of friends defeated her but when her own faith let her down, she collapses, frozen the years of insecurity rearing its head again, She turns into a cadaver ..Nani who is unable to see a innocent child paying the price of a Mother's folly, rushes to Khushi, embraces her to her bosom and tells her the only thing that matters, Chottey will come !! ..A shaken Khushi slowly trails out of the Mandap, her hope tearing into shreds, the walls of despair closing in on her when she hears the sigh of anguish from her mother , calling out to her..The dutiful daughter hears the call, obedient daughter that she is , she turns towards her mother when she finds that she is unable to proceed , her progress halted cos she is held back, Khushi turns to free herself to observe that it is her future in the form of Arnav holding on to her, preventing her from walking back into the guilty past, stopping her from going back into doom... Naani's Chotte has arrived to claim her but will he ??


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

Doodle's Take ;

Dekho he cannot be whole heatedly in acceptance here ... Mushkil hain the same thing will happen when Khushi will know her Parents' death [if at all it's playing in future] ... Even though she loves ASR and vice versa then also there will be a sense of - "if I am doing justice to my parents by being with my spouse" ... Dekh this aspect is very important ... Until and unless they get the blessing from their parents this aspect will always remain ... ASR will be whole hearted in this only when Garimaji will be blemish free and Khushi can provide justice to her Parents' death there are 2 things which have the possibility ...

Song from Taal:

Pyaar bada harjaayi hai

Par pyaar bina tanhaai hai

Dil mat dena kehte hai

Sab dil dete rehte hai

Jab neend chura lete hai

Rat jage maza dete hai

Khushiyaan kisi ke gham se

Raunak kisi ke dam se

Koi vachan nahin chalta hai

Koi jatan nahin chalta hai

Na ho yeh rog to saare log

Le le vijog, hu ku ku ku

Phoolon ke baag ka vaadaPar kaantein bade zyaadaNa dava lage, na dua lageYeh prem rog hai

Dialogues that defined Arnav and Khushi's mindset:

Jisne Meri Mamma ko hurt Kiya hai Mein use pyaar nahi kar sakta

Iss rose ne aapko hurt kiya hai mein isse pura hi todhdunga

Galti Khaton Ki thi par saza mila tha phoolon Ki aur iss chakkar mein khud chot laggayi

Un sawalon ka jawab doondh rahata jo abtak mile nahi hai.

Khushi jab mujhe tumse pyaar hua ta toh ye mein nahi jaantha ta ki hum sab ki past aise jude hue hai.. Yeh bhi nahi patata ki jis past se mein aaj tak baagta aaya hun meri shaadi ke din iss tara mera saamne aayega..

Khushi aaj mein yahan sirf tumhari vajase kada hun..Jahan dard dhoka aur nafrat ki alava kuch nahi hai

Hum nahi jaa sakti.. Agar arnavji yahan aayi aur unhone dekha ki hum yahan nahi hai toh unhe lagega ki hume unpe koi barosa nahi hai..Hum unka barosa nahi todsakte

Pyaar Ka Pagalpan chodo Sachayi ka samna karo

Hawan Ki Agni bhi raak hui gayi hai

Iss hawan kund ki agni ab tak buji nahi hai aaj iss agni ki saamne Arnavji aur hum ek hone wale hai aur hokar rahenge.. Jab tak yeh agni bujegi nahi tab tak hum yahan se kahi nahi jaayengi. Aur humara dil kehta hai iss agni ke bujne se pehle who aayengi

She has so much faith and trust in him and he has still not got the answers so lets see what Arnav has to tell Khushi

Will he accept the rose with thorns or will take just the rose alone?? This time will be give choice to rose??

But whatever he may say they show said one thing to us

Pyaar Ka Pagalpan chodo Sachayi ka samna karo- Don't forget this is for us from the IPK team

Today Nani and NK totally stole the show. The support that they gave Khushi in right time was brilliant. Humanity is still there. Applause to Jayasree T and Karan.👏

Accident ho gaya rabba rabba!!

"?11 days continuously shooting IPK. songs, consummation, drama and one of my brilliant work with barun (flashback n scream), sanaya's emotions. 3 more days to go then a new show. thank you all...cut it."

The following piece of brilliance is by koel aka sunshine99 😳

It was nerve racking episode..

Zindagi Ne Zindagibhar Ghum Diye Jitane Bhi Mausam Diye Sab Num Diye

Jab Tadapata Hai Kabhi Apana Koi Khun Ke Aansu Rula De Bebasi

"... for what is not connected with her to me? and what does not recall her? I cannot look down to this floor, but her features are shaped in the flags! In every cloud, in every tree-filling the air at night, and caught by glimpses in every object by day-I am surrounded with her image! The most ordinary faces of men and women-my own features-mock me with a resemblance. The entire world is a dreadful collection of memoranda that she did exist, and that I have lost her!" ~Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights
"I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!" ~Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights
"I am Heathcliff - he's always, always in my mind - not as a pleasure, any more then I am always a pleasure to myself - but, as my own being." ~Cathy, Wuthering Heights


How strange I choose to quote Heathcliff and Cathy today... peculiar even because we've yet to find two more selfish, self-centred and destructive characters in the world of fiction... and yet, we can't help but feel sympathy for them... Like I said peculiar.
I have a confession to make: For a long time I've been having difficulty in writing about Arnav and Khushi separately. It's true. Because I almost ended up repeating myself over and over and over again. And as clichd as it will sound, but today I realised that it is because they are "one" i.e. Arnav is Khushi as Khushi is Arnav...
In his anger, he destroyed a single rose unknowingly. A single rose. On her birthday, he planned to give her a whole bouquet that he had bought but that was intercepted by Anjali. Knowing that his sister needed it, he told the roses' intended why he bought them. And she'd understood.
Then he tried to make her happy... forcibly... till she explained why she wasn't and couldn't be happy. And in her slumber, he got her a rose that he'd grown himself with love. It was a rose from the secret garden: The garden created by his mother.
Now that I think about it... the CVs are either brilliant or just plain lucky. That one scene tied with the garden has brought a whole new dimension to this.
Khushi wanted one thing from him: LoveAnjali wants one thing from him: Attention
Khushi knows she has his attention. It is his love that she wants because she felt she had no right over it.Anjali knows he loves her. But her insecurity makes her demand his attention.
And he gave Khushi what she wanted: A rose from his mother's garden filled with his love and his mother's. Notice the irony. Anjali gets the expensive roses that he'd bought with his hard earned money. It is ASR's roses bought with ASR's money... While Khushi gets the flowers of Chotte's heart, watched over by Ratna's love.
Amazing...
And today that rose is crushed. By him. And he and his mother watch in agony. That rose is a part of his mother and him. His mother had planted the bush and he had cared for it. And the knowledge had been passed to him by his mother. And today, if there's another person crying for that crushed rose, it is his mother.
Khushi is his mother's blessings, her wishes and her prayers. Khushi is everything she ever wanted for her Chotte. She couldn't have asked for anyone less worthy to give her son to. And for that very reason, Ratna Singh Raizada is the luckiest woman in the entire world. Yes, she is. Because she watches her son's happiness as clearly as the Gods do and she knows... that daughter-in-law loves her son the way he needs to loved and the way he wants to be loved. She really is the luckiest woman ever existed.
By crushing that flower, not only his and Khushi's hearts break, his mother's heart as well. He knows, he knows very well that if he doesn't go to Khushi, his mother would be disappointed in him. That she would shed more tears than ever before. But it is the Malik blood in him that holds him back.
And all that while, Khushi puts up a fight. She fights every person she's ever loved and held dear for her Arnavji. It is now Khushi's turn to fight. So far, Arnav and Khushi have had to fight themselves, each other and the whole world for their love.
Amongst those fights, Arnav won the one where they fought each other and the world. He didn't win against himself. And Khushi won the battle against herself and against him. But not against the world.
And here they stand tonight fighting those battles. Both seem to have lost, but have they? Only time will tell...
One very interesting thing that I'd noticed: When he'd remembered how Khushi nearly died for him, the light from the truck illuminated his face. When he remembered how Khushi willingly took that leap (literally) for him, he lost control (literally) and became aware of the dangers ahead (not just a truck) and began to try to control his life and destiny (his car). But he couldn't and he crashed. While on the other hand, Khushi felt it and made a mad dash for him, screaming his name, only to be caught by NK and held back by him.
That road is the road of life. And all of Arnav's life has been dark and he's had to fight his way and move past obstacle (other cars) and being one step ahead of everyone (motorbike behind him). His destination: Khushi. And who does he call upon when he feels he wouldn't reach her? His mother.
My view is that when he'd had that accident it was a call out to his mother to give him the strength to fight for his love. It was a plea for help and forgiveness, forgiveness for choosing Khushi. But his mother can't forgive him. There's nothing to forgive and the only thing she can give him is her blessings.
Khushi fights off her family. For the first time, she unleashes her anger for herself on them and lashes out at them. She screams, uncaring of the fact that her hysteria is weighing heavily on everyone's conscience. But she doesn't care. There's only one person she's afraid of disappointing. And that's Arnav Singh Raizada.
How far they've risen in love. I won't say "fallen in love". Because when you truly love someone, you can never fall. Because you have that someone to hold you up. To be your tree. To be your support.
Three people stood out today:
Devyani Raizada

Nandkishore

Garima Gupta
Devyani Raizada. A woman who lost something no mother ever should. But she pulled herself and her family together. And every bone in her body is righteous, honest, just and filled with love. She's always loved Khushi like her own and has been by her side. And today... today she found out that the woman who probably is the reason why her daughter died, is the mother of the girl amongst the closest to her heart. Does that lessen her love for the child? No, it only continues to pour out in waves and it engulfs her. She runs to her child and embraces her, forgetting her own pain and that of her own grandchildren. She forgets everything and runs to Khushi. She alone tells Khushi that Arnav will come for her. She alone tells her, implores her not to lose hope. She's never seen Khushi lose hope, never seen the light leave her beautiful eyes. And she never wants to see it again. She will always, always love and support Khushi.
Nandkishore or as he is called NK or Nanheji. Khushi's best friend. He has been her side ever since he stumbled onto their lives. And he's made her smile almost through every moment he's been there and has had her back, quite literally in several instances. And today, he tells her, begs her, to not break, to not wither away. Because he couldn't bear to see her like this. He couldn't bear it. He is her friend, her best friend. He only wanted her to smile and be happy with Nannav. Not this, never this. So he does the only thing he can. He held her and shed tears of his own... unable to do anything else...
Garima Gupta. A mother. That is the only word that comes to my mind when I think of Garima. Today, she sees her daughter break into tiny pieces because of something she did years ago. And today, when she sees her little angel wither away, she felt herself dying. She couldn't do anything. She was right when she said her Khushi would die without her Arnav. And she wished, somewhere deep inside, that maybe her Khushi didn't love him as much as she did. Then maybe she wouldn't be suffering as much. When Khushi walks away from her, she call screams her name and brokenly asks, begs, "Kaha jaa rahi hoon meri bacchi?" Meri bacchi. My child. She has proven once again that Khushi is her whole world. Khushi is everything she loves, cares about and holds dear.
Everyone else was good.
I finally seemed to have mellowed down towards Anjali. She was weeping for Khushi. She wanted Khushi to stop crying. Because she was once where Khushi is. She knows how Khushi feels. And she longs to reach out to Khushi. And she does. The moment Arnav comes, she rushes to Khushi and Arnav, leaving Shyam behind. *Hint*
Now for the last and maybe the most important bit. The way Arnav pulled her dupatta or as I shall say her "damaan" or virtue. He pulled it and prevented her from going back to her mother. If Khushi were to return to her mother, she would be dishonoured by society. Sad, harsh, but FACT. In a way, he's protecting her and her mother's virtue. Inadvertently for the latter. Because if she goes back to her family unmarried, that is what would happen. And he holds on to it as though he is determined to tie her to him. He has made it clear, he will be with Khushi, even if he was to do it cold-heartedly and against her will. He knows they cannot live without each other. He knows everyone else comes second.
The way he held on to it was similar to the way I myself pulled my mother's pallu a good ten years back. And I usually pulled it when I was scared that I would get lost or when I didn't want my mother to leave me. I still pull her pallu like that whenever she wears a saree and I feel insecure or scared.
His love and vulnerability is hidden under his anger and his armour. And today, he used that to his full advantage. He will marry her out of love, but he will hide it under his tough exterior.
His way of pulling her pallu is tough, cold, unyielding. His hold is screaming, "I will not let you go." Because I can't live without you. I love you too much to let you leave me. But the world in only seeing how he held her pallu, not the reason why he held it. And Khushi will have to understand that. It is every bit her test as it is his.
Point to be noted: She said he would be there by the time the fire/smoke disappear. He did actually appear just then. Because technically he would have been in the building. So by Garima calling her back, Garima inadvertently gave Arnav the opportunity to enter and claim Khushi again.
Will wonders ever cease?
A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful episode! My show is back! I for one will savour this as long as possible!
Barun Sobti, I've never had a crush on an actor *coughBradPittcough* but you make my head spin in angst as I see you emote. Keep. It. Up.
Sanaya Irani, I have never cried for any other fictional character apart from yours. That is a big complement. Keep. It. Up.
Jayshree T, Karan Goddwani, Pyumori Mehta you guys were fabulous and I loved you characters! Keep it up!
The rest were wonderful as well!
As for LM leaving... well I don't know what to say... because even of the episodes weren't as good afterwards... I don't know, because Holi was excellent, end of kidnapping (cliff scenes) and post-kidnapping (Arnav and Khushi mutual support scenes) were excellent. CVs the best bet for you is to PLAN IT OUT ON PAPER. MAKE IT CONCRETE AND SOLID. INVEST BRAIN CELLS ON THE PLOT, NOT THE TRPs. The TRPs will come automatically if the plot is without big, gaping loopholes.
I haven't written to much in ages! *A pat on the back*

A BRIDE

yesterday when i saw khushi i only felt her and saw her as a bride not a daughter nor a lover just a bride who was waiting for her groom to arrived and end all this humiliation. She is a bride who shaking in fear and asking and wants some surity that her groom ll come na . " jiji woh nahi ayain ge tou hum kya karain ge. " asks two time . 1st time in fear and 2nd time in desparate.
A LOVER

But today i saw her as a lover, pyaar ki shidat main gumm ek mehbooba , whom not wants k apne mehboob beloved ko intezar k karab(pain) de. Khud pain bear kr le gi but not wants any pain for him.


kisi ko doosrey ki kye ki saza mat do
jis se kartey hain mohabbat uss ko dard mat do
jo samney hota hai zroori nahi hamesha k succh ho
ye ek maa ki hai nasihatain apne betey ko
pr beta hai ek ajab hi jahan main
na ek pal hai ussey aram o sukoon
zehan o dil ek ajeeb kashmakash mai hai
