What I LOVED: 1st Nov 2012

What I LOVED: 1^st November 2012

Just a minor post tonight... not really delving in coz it's gotten a bit late.

Aarav's 'Daddy issue' with Sheetal Amma in front of the Raizadas – Wow!!

Everyone's telling Sheetal to tell Aarav of his Dad.

Liked that Arnav and Khushi to talk to Sheetal as a couple.

LOVED that Nani ji and Anjali saw that Khushi was trying to help Aarav.

LOVED that Sheetal's statements:

>> said to Aarav – I am doing whatever I am doing for only you.

>> said to Arnav and Khushi – I can't take away other's khushi for my Khushi.

Oh really!?

Liked Arnav's concern for Aarav:

>> he thinks spending time with Aarav to help his game

>> he is touched by Aarav's need for his Dad

>> he remembers it even at work and calls Khushi to ask about Aarav

>> he takes Khushi with him to talk to Sheetal about telling Aarav about his Dad

>> he shows confidence in Aarav, just as Khushi does, that Aarav can handle it

LOVED Khushi:

>> Despite everything, she attempts to help Aarav and is successful

>> LOVED how she saw herself first being outsmarted by Aarav when he turned off the music

>> She is tuned into Aarav and his moods too

>> She told Sheetal that Aarav had a right to know about his father – no matter who it was.

Arnav didn't catch the hint!? Oops!

>> LOVED:

Aarav: what are you looking for?

Khushi: I am looking for you.

Yeah, she is!

Arnav and Khushi:

>> Still doesn't talk to Arnav, even though it is plain that she is upset

>> Arnav tries to talk but doesn't delve much: jalebi & night suit. Buddy find new questions to ask your wife; I mean apart from, 'Tum theek ho?'

>> the fact that even now Arnav goes to talk to Sheetal with Khushi shows he's got an absolutely clean conscience about his past with Sheetal, his not being Aarav's father, and he's honest with Khushi

>> Khushi again has a messed up mind after Sheetal's statement.

AARAV – Adorable!!

>> LOVED his ASR-ish manner to throw a fit

>> LOVED that he'd turned the volume up to avoid Khushi, and then turned it off when she was shouting – that's SO Arnav - She won't stop so I might as listen and be done with it.

>> LOVED that he came by to help Khushi

Planting the sapling

Nice! LOVED it.

Will look into it tomorrow maybe. It's getting rather late tonight.

NK is still interested in Sheetal.

Did you catch the 11.00 pm rerun? You are writing your usual analysis- correct? I am waiting for one!

We did see an in-character Khushi. And that Aarav is ADORABLE! He is simply too cute! I want him for myself. Bas.😆

BRILLIANT!! Even in a short analysis you have key pointers and highlights of the episode.

👏

I will have to keep it short today; need to provide some support tonight for a work related issue!!

SHEETAL'S MATCH

Sheetal made two key moves in her match today:

1. Brought up the issue of Aarav's dad in front of the family ' Usually Khushi is target of her every move but today target was RM family.

2. Told Arnav Khushi that she cannot take away somebody else's Khushi ' This time target is definitely Khushi.

I think with the above two moves sheetal has successfully placed whole RM family including Arnav Khushi where exactly she wants them and has come very close to her goals. We still have no clue about her intentions and if she is grey or white. But one thing for sure she is definitely much much smarter than our Shyamji (Oh! Shyamji, I miss you and your blue bracelet, and your crooked smile😭)!! Sorry I digressed'.Shyam had to really do lot of hard work and put in lot of effort in planning and manipulating people, but even careful planning every move of his always backfired and turned in favor of Arnav Khushi. But Sheetal with no work or strain is making others, especially Khushi do all the work for her. 😲 and people hated Shyamji -😡 compared to Sheetal he was SO MUCH BETTER!! 🤗

ARNAV'S FOCUS SHIFT?

I have always said that Arnav can focus only on ONE thing at a time. And since yesterday I somehow felt that Arnav's focus has shifted from Khushi to Aarav. Arnav has developed special affection and bonding with Aarav. He has special place for the kid in his heart. So why this special bonding with AARAV? Arnav somewhere, somehow can related and connect to Aarav -

- Aarav, just like Arnav likes plants and gardening

- Aarav is very mature for his age, which Arnav can relate to and he doesn't like kids who have tantrums ' They can talk like adults

- Aarav just like Arnav doesn't like to be treated as kid (Remember he said to Khushi when she pulled his cheeks "Stop it Khushi main koyi bacchha nahi hoon") Aarav said the same to Arnav when he was trying to hide from RM family.

- Aarav and Arnav has same kind of thoughts about Khushi and can openly discuss about her and they both like her, of course Arnav loves her.

- Aarav and Arnav both like Basket Ball.

- Arnav lost his dad at a young age and Aarav haven't met his dad so they both have this void in his life. So Arnav understands and relates to what Aarav is going thru.

Arnav was probably able to relate to Aarav's outburst too (today). Arnav is somebody who usually doesn't interfere in others matter (until and unless asked for) but today he stepped into personal zone of Sheetal and Aarav's life.

Though I didn't express, it was bothering me that "why is Arnav so oblivious to Khushi's pain?" and I got my answer today!! Some examples:

- When Arnav was with Lavanya he was so focused on Khushi that he would talk to Lavanya thinking she is Khushi. He was so focused on Khushi that he saved Khushi from burning candle not Lavanya from falling.

- When he forced Khushi to marry him, he was so focused on Anjali that whatever Khushi did he thought it's a ploy and it's another game of hers. He was never able to see the truth.

- When he came from kidnapping, he was so focused on wooing Khushi and bringing her home that he didn't see Shyam lurking in RM.

- When Dadi came to RM, he was so focused on fulfilling all the rituals that he didn't see Dadi's maneuvers to separate him from Khushi.

The last time he took off from work was to spend time with Khushi and today without even asking Khushi he made plans to take day off to spend with Aarav ' INTERESTING!!

So now he is focusing on Aarav and not able to see Khushi's pain and the turmoil she is putting herself through.

He usually shift his focus until he has achieved what he is focusing on!! So does it mean Arnav will play key role in finding Aarav's dad? and by that time, may be its late for him to see Khushi's pain? May be his Khushi will be gone away from him by them?

Since Sheetal's entry she has been staying away from Arnav, behaving awkward around Arnav, has minimal conversations with Arnav and keeping her conversations very formal. It seems she is more comfortable with everybody else except for Arnav. It seemed like Khushi is her target.

But why do I feel like Arnav is the target?

Now why is my mind thinking that while Sheetal was working on Khushi, she was using Aarav to work on Arnav?

Why do I think that Sheetal will play Arnav Khushi against each other?

PS:

I should get back to work and snap myself out of IPK!! else the list of "WHYS" will grow. I have no idea what I wrote, just penned the first thoughts I had after watching the episode. So please excuse my ramblings!!

EDITED:

When I meant short post, I really meant short post!! After posting didn't realize it's not short 😲.. Well Shalini as per our scale I think this counts as "SHORT" 😉

My favourite scene of the day...well actually there were two...first,chutkuji walking down the stairs, with two sets of shirts & then asking for the whole khandaan to share in his happiness...awww, pehli baar humein pyaar hota dikha Aarav se (dekha, ab uska naam bhi le sakte hain 😉)...second, MAN & WIFE, together going to confront "the other woman"..😳...to tell her to reveal the secret...seeti maar moment!!!!!

Loved how Aarav wanted everyone included in his happiness, he actually asked for Arnav & Aakash,😳 how shweet. Loved the way he told Anjali had a good dress sense.😉...loved the way he asked Payal to give him something to eat..😛...he was so like a kid...& I loved him. Loved the smiling face, so full of happiness at the prospect of meeting his father, of finally finding his own identity! The more days he is staying at RM, the less he seems to artificially behave like Arnav...he is such a normal kid now, even throwing tantrums...that scene was so bang on. There was a moment in that scene, that made me think...why the hell did Aaksh give a look to Arnav, when Sheetal mentioned Aarav's Dad...Aakash, beta, what's with you???? Jaata hoon, rehta hoon, jaata hoon, rehta hoon...finally rehna chahte ho, toh kamaskam, dhang ke expressions toh do..🤢...!!!!!

Loved how MAN & WIFE together went to confront Sheetal...completely loved Arnav's expressions here (pat on that lovely back😳, Barun)...he is so confident of his relation with Sheetal...she is just a friend, who needs to be confronted about a mistake she is making towards her son...a son, whose father is probably married or who has dumped her or whatever...(he has told his wife, this boy cannot be his son...end of the matter, his wife has torn the DNA report...& he thinks he has made himself clear on that topic. He thinks his wife has accepted his stand & moved on...ouch!!!!! I understand that he has not yet tuned into channel Khushi, he has always been like that, straightforward, he has seen her tear the reports & believes that she trusts him...what I thought was missing was a lil bit of romance...specially when he realises that she is still miffed with him. He does mention, 'toh jalebiyaan kyun bana rahi thi?'...toh dude, tumhe pata hai woh naraaz hai, toh thoda pyaar karte toh tumhaara kya jaata..😆...considering his need for her is all-consuming...whatever's happened to the passion, pray tell me!!!!!😲

Loved that he called Khushi to inquire about Aarav & not Sheetal.😳...he is giving huge hints to Khushi that Sheetal means nothing to him...you are my wife, so I'll call you to inquire about anyone in the house...again, he tells her that AS LONG AS HE IS HERE, I'll try & teach him BB...but Khushi madam is a nutter, she is busy with her own 'soch'...get out of that whirlpool baby, you'll only sink!!!!😡

Loved that Arnav wanted to help Aarav with his BB & Khushi wanted to help Aarav with his foul mood by compelling him into gardening...😃...how shweet!!!!

Loved how Anjali mentioned, 'woh jalebiyaan banaati hain, jab khud pareshan hoti hain, par aaj koi aur pareshan hai...'She does know Khushi quite well!!!!

What kind of a mother is Sheetal...she wants to hide the identity of 'the man' from her son, but she mentions parents day in front of all. This might not be the first time it's happened, for Godsake the child is what 5 or 6...she does not have a story to pacify him.😲...yet????? Then when Arnav-Khushi confront her, all she says is that the revelation will destroy a lot of lives...whose lives behnji???? she says she can't take away someone else's khushi for her own..😡...hmmm, whose khushi, behnji??????And she will be khush if she tells the fathers name & beta will be nakhush.❓...what was that?????? What was that expression she gave when Khushi said, "chahe woh koi bhi ho"...she took the hint & apna crackpot toh tubelight ki tarah bhi nahin jalta...arre yaar uski toh fuse hi udi hui hai...iska number kab aayega, kab samjhega yeh???????😡

Waise the track is getting interesting now...it's becoming clearer & clearer, though still somewhat smudgy!!!

I'm dedicating this post to my nayee Roohwaali choti behena, Falguni,(@yogifalu).🤗...darling you missed my take yesterday, so here's to you & to us AWESOME-THREESOME, you, Kalyani (@prakal) & me..❤️...3 cheers, luv!!!!
