the hazy picture
*********************************
Dear Fellow viewer & reader, welcome to yet another edition of DC .. boy oh boy .. what an episode .. sitting on the fence on this one will require immense talent .. an episode with a pouting dreamboat wud've been enuf for most of the fan girls .. but .. whoa they up the ante .. the picture came out for us tonite .. albeit hazy .. a bit of unveiling .. a bit of mischief .. a bit of laughter .. a bit of crying .. a bit of camaraderie .. a bit of happiness .. a bit of sadness .. & well a whole bit of LOVE .. thats what makes a 20 min episode .. thats our IPK ..
**********************************
" tum jeeti mein haara "
She won the challenge .. this time ..despite him .. or so she thought .. she managed to keep her 'vrat' successfully.. well did he for one sec doubt she wud see this thru .. nope .. his gift for her .. was all ready .. he knew .. like always she wud defeat him .. & oh well .. to help things along ..he spiced it up with some spicey masaledaar challenge .. so that she "wud win" .. & he wud see the 100 watt smile .. a smile .. without which he doesnt know how to live now .. & finally the last 30 mins of her fast .. when it became really difficult .. when she started imagining food everywhere .. he distracted her .. cocooned her in his web of romance .. ( oh well .. ok he had some HOT moments too 😉 .. but all in the name of Karva chauth) ..
& finally he pointed out to her .. the moon .. she saw the moon . but he saw her .. he saw the glow .. the happiness ... the life on her face .. man he was gone .. he was done ... 😊
They stood amongst a group of people .. but alone in their world .. completing the rituals of Karva Chauth .. he fed her water .. he fed her .. her fav jalebi .. graciously excepted his defeat ... & promised her .. he wud be by her side forever .. ( har saal mujhe tumhe yeh sab karne dena padega) ..
The lovers stood smiling enveloped in their love .. oblivious to the world around them .. content with their cat & mouse love chase .. oblivious to the stare ... to the concentrated stare of someone .. noticing this BOND OF LOVE ..
The eclipse on their chand ..
*********************************
He comes to dinner .. finds everyone on the table .. but not his Khushi .. he stomps across to get her .. tells her to join for dinner .. tonite he said ... he will not eat without her .. the man .. who did not believe in rituals .. surprisingly .. followed all the rituals to the "T" .. tonite was the nite for lovers .. a nite .. where they had renewed their pledge to be together for a lifetime .. tonite .. was for THEM ..
Unbeknownst to them .. a lurking presence .. has all but trained her eyes on them .. the shadow ... the hazy presence .. intrudes on them .. when they r together .. almost as if .. it was her right to be there .. she comes with the helping hand .. wants to take KHUSHI's BURDEN off her .. but .. KHUSHI .. refuses to PART WITH HER BURDEN .. once again reminding her of her "outsider" status ..
They walk away .. but in her mind .. now lurks the shadows presence .. the hazy picture which had formed in front of her eyes .. refuses to go away .. her heart beat was playing a new tune .. a sense of foreboding enveloped her .. when she turned around .. & saw the "guest" .. flirt with her dupatta .. & see the moon thru its .. hazy veil .. suddenly .. "arnav" was called out .. he turned .. & the lady .. looked at him thru her veil .. leaving a stunned .. Khushi .. looking on .. she made a lame excuse to speak to him .. & finally .. having done the "deed" excused herself .. thereby leaving behind .. a devastated woman .. a woman .. who just before this was smiling .. laughing flirting .. with happiness all but pouring out of her .. was now .. standing there .. her future beckoned her .. BUT .. once again .. AN UGLY PAST HAD REARED ITS UGLY HEAD ..
Once again.. her happiness .. was eclipsed ...
**********************************
(the above pics are strictly for viewing pleasure 😉)
" Khushi aajka din tumhara hai .. isiliye aaj mein tumhare liye kuch special karna chahta hoon ... "
how special was this special ?? ..
he drags her to their room .. saying he wanted to give her something . .. she follows him with half a mind .. her happiness was tainted ... her happiness eclipsed .. by what she had just seen .. he takes her to the room .. tells her to change ( huh .. she looked incredible .. & he wanted her to change into her tent 😲 .. sorry cudnt resist this) ... saying he was taking her out to dinner .. it wud be him & her .. on a nite .. made for them .. he had ordered all her favourite foods .. he has ordered champagne .. ( but this time he will blow the cork ) .. ( hmm bitwa wanted bitiya a bit inebriated is it 😉😉 😳) ...
But she refuses to go with him .. sighting tiredness as her excuse .. he tries in vane to convince her .. but is let down .. when she is adamant .. he sees her low .. he hopes its for tiredness alone .. she was happy just a few moments back .. HE CANCELS THEIR BOOKING ... THE FIRST TREMOR .. UNKNOWN ONE .. BUT A MILD SHAKE ..
Yes this was all part of the The eclipse effect ..
But unknown to the shadow .. this bond .. is one made by Devi Maiyyah herself .. nigh impossible to break .. ask these 2 they themselves have tried it a couple of times ..
she walks away from him .. he moves to call Aman .. to cancel the reservation ... she to fiddle with the files .. almost absentmindedly .. she notices some papers addressed to her .. opens them .. & sees the name of her small initiative .. KKGSR Dabba Service .. today made into a legit company .. she looks up to him .. he tries to make a joke out of his gift to her .. but she knows .. he gave her dignity back today .. he gave her the means to support her family .. not only .. resurrecting her dignity .. but also maintaining her families dignity .. a gesture .. which was so Arnav .. a man who knows HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO LIVE WITH DIGNITY ..
she is overwhelmed by his gesture .. she doesnt know what to say .. through his this gesture once again he proved how much he loved her .. how much he regretted all that he had done to her in the past .. it was this arnav that always disarmed her .. the couple share a moment ..
They as usual get into their famous nok jhok .. & this time . Khushi tries to placate him .. she is lost on how to make up to him .. oh well bitwa had a lot of "ideas' floating in his mind .. but well a hungry bitiya .. cud come up with only food alternatives .. ahem bitiya . bitwa was kinda hungry for something else here 😉
"Soch raha hoon tumhara bhi registry karva doon .. tumhara trademark karvana banta hai .. apne type ki ek hi tum puri duniya mein" !!!
when they r once again disturbed .. .. excuse me .. this time it was the 'child' .. someone .. who arnav wud find difficult to say NO to .. once again .. her mind is catapulted to the catastrophe facing her .. the magnitude of what she had just witnessed .. was standing there in their bedroom .. as a reminder .. as a reminder to her .. of the PAST rearing its UGLY head ...
A sweet hug .. a sweeter gesture .. a moment of togetherness .. a lilttle bit of flirting .. a lil bit of fun .. a lil bit of tears .. a whole bit of love ... & then the rude reminder .. which made the smile slip & disappear .. the eclipse effect ..
*********************************
Once again all are gathered in the living room .. watching Aarav & Arnav go head to head in a game of chess .. but tonite was a nite for Arnav to loose .. some he lost knowingly .. while some he lost unknowingly ..
To win 'the' smile he lost a challenge .. but tonite unknown to him .. the smile .. had turned into a pool of tears ..
Tonite .. Khushi was handed 2 documents .. one which gave her her dignity back .. one which showed her how much her husband loved her .. & at the other end .. a document .. which was threatening to take her identity away .. a document which threatened to test the BONDS OF LOVE ..
Yes tonite .. the nite women desperately wait to see the moon .. Khushi saw hers .. albeit with an eclipse ..
*********************************
the above is a grab of a pic .. when Arnav takes Khushi to the room to give her the gift ... now .. i am bit remiss in picking up Madhura Naik's expressions .. wud love it if anyone of u can decipher the above for me .. 😳
*********************************
Tonite .. a standing ovation to both Barun & Sanaya .. tonite finally u cud see the newly married couple .. in their dealings .. the magic was so back .. the ease .. the comfort .. the chemistry (if u please) was so back .. Barun with his pout was outstanding .. & sanaya .. excels in the devatated woman avatar .. so guys all in all .. A dam Cracker of an episode ..
NOTE FOR GUL KHAN ...
Dearly beloved GUL & 4 Lions .. u dont need to come knocking on our doors for ideas .. ur ideas are outstanding .. now the moment u concentrate on execution .. the episode & the story flows very well .. mayhap .. u shud be asking suggestions for good directors names .. instead of story ideas .. doubt ne one of us can do a better arnav khushi than u & ved .. so stick with that .. just concentrate on getting the man who puts ur ideas to the public .. ur director RIGHT .. the rest will take care of itself ..
*********************************
As i end tonite .. wud love to borrow Saru's phrase .. " nazar na lage mere IPK ko "..
GUD NITE CU AT THE IPKs ..
enjoy the episode ...
