arshihamesha, katelyn, sigrid, barundiwani, cinthiann, doc, risha, everyone

good morning, it's wonderful to catch up with you all here. interesting how ipk always takes us beyond the viewing into ourselves, into our thoughts, and how it seems to naturally connect to life all around.

about needing more asr's in our world. yes yes yes. i have always been stirred and thrilled by his mind set. and his attitude to most things. so he made ridiculous mistakes when he fell in love for the first time, but i can forgive that. because his heart was sorta shattered and good sense just flew away. happens to the best of us. and i am not so "good" that i am above it all.

never understood all the dislike this character was given. talk of him denigrating women. really? never ever did i sense it. paternalistic, yes. part of culture again. for example when he wants to set up something for khushi because in case he's not around he doesn't want her to be dependent on anyone. very progressive thought, delivered with that 'i'll solve it" male air. one can live with that, or if one doesn't like it and wants to make one's own decisions, one can say as much. i have felt that this is a guy who will appreciate your point of view, if you are honest, sincere, and you really mean what you say.

yes we have many kkg's. the kkg of the initial months, not the sp bahu. and we have several lavanyas, deep in their own way, going through the phases of finding oneself. i feel wonderful to be a part of this gang.

about those quotes. well for the past many months i used to hang out at the crooner thread, where the idea was analysis of episodes. beautiful main posts full of quotes, caps, interpretation. there are places where you feel a lovely poem or quote touches and enriches the moment. it's also a great excuse to fly all over the place. so...

have a super sunday.

haven't read the episode 20 takes. want to see first. then get all dreamy eyed and see your wonderful posts.

Only could watch episode 19 I will comment on episode 20 tomorrow

Manjunis one wise woman...she is the only one who can explain how the office work in a Khushi style by using what she connect to the most which is FOOD

I always found the whole office immature and I always womder if they ever work and how did they helpAR become so powerful...all they do is gossip

And last but no the least Khushi showed ASR who is boss

episode 20, girls rule.

okay, fuzzy caps, but it was a lovely sequence and the song is still playing in me. she cracks the code, gets the letter done, completely flummoxes the great arnav singh raizada, leaves lavanya gawking mouth wide open at her incredible efficiency, asks "aur kuch?" and at her mean employer's silence, requests permission to go home, and leaves for the day. so endearing this young girl as she traipses down to first thank dm, then slip on her trademark jhola bag and walk out of the office on a lighter gait, unburdened and unafraid at last, on the way her only friend and mentor at work gives a thumbs up to "chamkili ki chamak." in the background dance the happy first notes of the title song, one just has to grin and hum along.

jo pehle hua na / vo ab hone laga hai / dil humko jagakar /kyon sone laga hai / yeh ishq hai/ ya kuch aur hai?

i do wish they'd come out with an ipkknd cd, with every bit of the music. raju singh's work is edgy, cool, and distinctive here. there are some really touching bits and great melody. of course, rabba ve and asr's background score are just classic. modern and smooth sound, i never tire of hearing.

the episode belonged to lucknow ki chikankari, and she was absolutely charming in every scene. my favourite up there. the sweetest sister act. family, warmth, lightness, innocence, and lots of happy love there. little things that make a day feel special. here some solid leg pulling of birthday girl. the sort of thing we've perhaps been through ourselves, simply told, performed with finesse. made one want a sister 😆.

onto seel batta and another sis. got me thinking this scene. the difference in the two women in asr's life. the one who fell into his arms out of nowhere: she's a simple small town girl with a mind of her own. she's a natural lateral thinker, easily coming up with ingenious ideas to tackle a situation. nothing really phases her despite her initial heebie jeebies. though bound by her idea of tradition, she is in no way orthodox in thinking.

then there's anjali: love of arnav's life, light of his eyes, his one and only di. born well, educated in finer schools (i presume), city bred. she is graceful and loving and gentle, and incredibly inflexible in her thinking, most orthodox. vegetables are not cut, they are "sudharoed," and they must be sliced just so, no other way; and what's this mami, chutney in a mixie? no, that must be ground on the stone the way nani likes it, and why is the dhania being sorted like that? er, let me do it... i have to say, i empathised with mamiji and her "oh gawd, kahan humka iss sankiyon ke beech phasaa diye!"

anjali can't think different. khushi is adept at exactly that. and in that she is a lot like the man who is out to torment her. individualistic, rule bender, this girl that rules the day. but, watch out, tomorrow is another day and looks like their might be rain.

my favourite dialoguewa: akhir hum babuji ki beti hain... kiski majal hai ki woh humey methi ki sabzi khilaye. ant mein toh hum jalebi hi khayenge.

end note, before we get to the rain, let's look at the sky. what does it say? akash, the sweet one is drowning in love. whose are those eyes on his laptop? and where exactly is his mind? his smart grandma can see something is up, but poor akash can never speak about what's in his heart. his dadi offers advice, time you learnt to voice your thoughts.

"uss dupattewali ke liye hi sahi, mujhe bolna to seekhna hi padega." have to say, akash was the perfect foil to the cool, arrogant, debonair asr when it all started. gentle, innocent, more retiring by nature but not a wimp, with a smart understanding of dadi and mother kitchen politics. a man who fell in love at first sight and in his own non aggressive way managed to win her heart and bring her into his life. nice.

yet the one who makes the screen go dizzy is not sitting all dreamy there. he's right here. nasty, mean, calculating, planning his next move.

uh oh, he's just heard she hopes to go home early today. not good. and why did you narrow your eyes so, mr arnav singh raizada?

"what the... you talkin' to me?"

Not at all, I love your posts. You, BarunDiwani, Katelyn & all others are fabulous. Infact I try to read your analysis daily. I have to read your posts on episode 19 & 20, studies are keeping me busy otherwise I would have read them by now :D
