Epi 56

"Nani agrees saying she is the elder in the house and knows her responsibilities and she does not want Anjali upset. So they both sign a treaty for the sake of Anjali. Everyone will be happy; We're Having a Party!" - Love the Chirpiness in your wordings 👍🏼

"ASR doesn't trust anyone else. Huge statement! Come dear boy, open your mind there is someone who has been sent from the heavens for you to trust your heart with her name is Kushi Kumari Gupta!" - completely agree 😉

"All will be well! No need to worry the Goddess is with us now and always! They will love the sweets and everyone will praise us!" Kushi exclaims! Let the party begin! - her happiness/smile is infectious 😊

"Aunt has pawned her bracelets and we need to pay the mortgage on the store. Payal says think carefully Kushi. Why do you think you shouldn't go there? Just think we are going to end the obligation of the contract. Kushi says but the demon. Payal sternly says, first stop thinking about it. We have more important work than to meet ASR and DM gave you the sign to come back right? - i lik how payal took control of the situation nd helped Khushi to go thro with it

"She opens the door and walks inside.

He is on the phone. The phone slowly drops off his ear again. He feels her. He looks up sensing her presence, her essence.

Rabba Ve… feels lik its been forever

She feels it too. "Devi Maiya protect us. I hope the Laad Govenor is not home."

"No, she is not here. I don't want to think about it."

We're Having a Party! Let's go see what happens, shall we? - Can't wait for them to meet finally ❤️

Episode 57

"He is always on the phone, making demands, organizing, ordering and in contol until the door opens; a gust of wind blows, the keys of the piano playing softly Rabba Ve and she walks in the door. His phone slowly leaves his ear. She is praying to the Goddess for protection and she hopes the Laad Govenor is not at home. " how much ever they deny...their hearts yearns to see each other ❤️

"This next scene was amazing with the ambience of the preparation for the party, scarves on pillars and poles, music playing softly in the background Rabba Ve, and both of them on the move walking towards each other but DM has plans for them. They are not to meet just yet and by her grace they miss each other because workers walk in between them carrying the scarves. The thin fabric just barely separates them, close enough yet so far away. Hide and seek, peek a boo, just loved how the creators did this scene! - yep perfect direction , camerawork...editin...everythin 👏
love how u hav written it out 👏

"Brilliantly done creative team! Well played. ASR walks by, stops in front of the room sensing her perhaps…Rabba Ve." - i agree... nd this time she got a clear view of him 😉

"Here he comes she has to go hide! She runs into his room. "Goddess where am I?" You are home my dear Kushi, you are home. - thts so true...how quickly she'll get used tht room isn't it 😃

"He is staring at her. She uncovers her eyes and looks into those intensely deep, chocolate brown eyes. She has to get out of here and fast! Those eyes, those mesmerizing eyes. She jumps down from the closet and tries to walk away he grabs her arm….Rabba Ve. She breaks his hold on her and runs for her life. Her dupatta flying reaching out for him, he tries to grasp it it's just out of his reach. He calls, "Kushi…Kushi!" - i could so understand Asr then...its lik finally he is able to breathe after seein her (i knw tht scene was a fraction of a second...but it was thr) Love the explanation 👏

"This really bothered me, I really felt uncomfortable with her hanging there it just wasn't right! Kushi is trying topeek out from her hiding place to see what's happening." - same here...nd i also hated the way mamiji was treatin them lik servants...wat the hell is wrong with her...i got irritated by her behavior towards them

"Kushi tries to walk around him and leave but he grabs her arm and pulls her close. She tries to free herself from his grasp. She asks him, why this insolence? He answers he can be ruder and she knows it. "I asked you a question. You said you were going to Lucknow and you weren't coming back. Then why are you here?" "Leave me, otherwise…" "Otherwise what?" Perhaps you are at home here. "This is my home" "I know this is your home. We spent all the money and manager did not tell us in time. I would have rather committed suicide then come to your home (and play hide and seek or peek-a-boo)." - aahh they speak...after ages of bein away...🤗 my fav part 😉 even though he was rude...the intensity...the chemistry ❤️❤️ it was all thr... beautiful expression by both of them ⭐️

"

Someone is in trouble! It's your turn to play hide and seek. Go hide Shyam, we will close our eyes and count to 100. Ready GO…1….2….3….4…..5…. 🤣

as much as u had a blast writin it...i had a blast readin it...love the review 👏

while watching and thinking of 55, i found my mind wandering off to what originally showed us winds have words in them, pearls scattering mean so many things, the very air sings when you're near.

hindi films.

sorry, can't call it bollywood, it's too original a thing to have even a hint of me too in its naam. even ripping off good english movies and music around the world was done with such elan, such uniqueness, 😆. but really, the whole body of work, which once was considered too "low," too mass, no classical element in it, nothing valuable really, gosh how much of me it makes.

the cultural , the richness of language of it is now become fashion to discuss, to chat about, to study in colleges... but not in the days when these mad dreamers of the indian film industry were devising, daring, doing the craziest of things: to create a whole new language of communication, one that would touch and thrill every part of our being. among them some fine poets, singers, dancers, actors, even a group of highly social minded, left leaning people of fascinating talent (kaifi azmi, sahir ludhianvi, majrooh sultanpuri, munshi premchand to name a few).

india as we know her was just being born those days, and they had to think of imagery that wouldn't be stumped by the language barrier... everyone did not speak hindi, the newly chosen national language, but ask older people from any part of the country if they saw the old hindi films, rarely will you get a "what the" from a wizened face. i remember one of my great aunts, a very basic hindi speaker, being into shammi kapoor, oh he was hot hot, and going all smiley at the mention of the man. (aww, sweet shezdi, too many memories with her.)

hindi films found a language perhaps that went beyond the spoken word. its imagery, allusions, little devices, and sign language, came of delving into emotions and universal human things and finding meaningful translations understood by all.

and somewhere along the way, we grew to understand, that running around trees singing songs is a feeling, you don't have to do it in real life. and watching a gorgeous "hero" do it, didn't make you laugh your guts out. (shashi kapoor singing "khilte hain gul yahan," has me palpitating in no time even now ha ha). and many other such things. often one didn't fathom the higher, finer elements of urdu in many of the songs, but it never mattered, they conveyed richness... of feelings, thoughts, the moment, everything.

somewhere along the way we "knew" to hear rabba vey when someone's thought, being, or even name came near was not at all loony (well it was, but what the, that's exactly what happens when you're in lau, isn't it).

i feel lucky that the man who created rabba vey, raju singh, learned with one of the masters of the hindi film music world, r d burman. he has the same innovative, unafraid, experimental streak in his work. no matter how many time i hear it, i am entranced. just like you know who.

a cut still fresh in the heart, and a few pearls still scattering in a mind brought about a torrent of words in in an unlikely place, and an unfamiliar reticence in another. one said things out loud in her way, but didn't say the real thing at all. the other just spoke them in his mind as was his wont.


"yeh dard toh kissi aur ka diya hua hai... aur waise bhi, uss chot ka kya jo dikhai nahin deti..." this pain is given by someone else, and what about the hurt that no one can see?
what did khushi mean? what hurt? had he cut her somewhere deeper than the eye can see, where only the heart can feel? but how, why? she never spoke of it. why khushi, why, you who speaks so much why aren't you saying anything today... about that "chot"? i feel like asking her the way he'd asked that day on the bridge.

of course, her final conclusion: everything is that man's fault, i've said what i had to... all our miseries are because of him.,.. that rakshas.
"yeh sab uss arnav singh raizada ke vajah se ho raha hai... bol diya toh bol diya yeh sab uss rakshas ki galati hai."


his soliloquy was touching. "arnav singh raizada is not so weak that he cannot get rid of the thoughts of one girl from his head... she's draped like a shadow over my mind... again and again her thoughts... her face only... as though she's challenging me... no, i'm not one to accept defeat... emotions, feelings, there's no place in my life for such things...and nor will i ever let there be any place for them... you are part of my yesterday which is past... and now... khushi kumari gupta is nothing more to me than just a name."

"itna kamzor nahin hai arnav singh raizada ki ek ladki ke khayal ko apne dimaag se na nikal sake... ek saye ki tarah chha gayo hai mere dimaag mein... baar baar ussi ka khayal... ussika chehra... jaise mujhe challenge kar rahi ho... nahi main haar manne walo mein se nahin hoon... emotions, ahsaas in sabki meri zindagi mein koi jagah nahi hai... aur na main kabhi banne doonga... tum mere uss kal ka hissa ho jo beet chuka hai... aur ab... khushi kumari gupta ek naam se zyada mere liye kuch nahin hai."

wow, the silent one really talks, while the talker keeps mum. and what's this chot, this challenge? aren't they both sensing more than what was the intention. or maybe they're not? he did mean to teach her a lesson again and again, for getting under his skin... and what was that "hum ja rahe hain hamesha ke liye," followed by a long searching look, if not a challenge to the one who is mattering to her when someone of his ilk really shouldn't. mustn't.

oh fatntastic love writing. and acting.


i felt really bad for nani today. again the result of good writing and jayshree t's beautiful becoming of naniji. she, who i've seen, dancing the typical hindi movie cabaret in many a film, who'd have thought there was such a sensitive actor in her. in itself, to get all tizzied over a bathing ritual and stalking off after roundly ticking off a guest in the house can seem pretty bizarre. but naniji managed to communicate her true feelings, her deep hurt really well. and something so elegant, old time, gracious, about her language, always measured, cultured and well chosen,

"sachchai aur shraddha chehre par nahi, man ma howat hai ms kassyap, man ma." truth and devotion are not worn on the face, they are in the "man" mind/heart, ms kassyap.

if this is how you've been raised, and these are you ways, then forgive me, not only am i upset, i am ashamed too (as a woman, who holds the place and duties of a woman pretty high). "toh maaf kijiye, hum naraaz hi nahi, sharminda bhi hai..." of course, naraaz and sharminda have a sense difficult to translate.

poor naniji, who'd been through much and done all her duties. to find herself in this situation at this age, gah must be tough tough tough. yet she too was trying to deal with it, placing conditions but not threatening terrible things. all for the love of her grandson, chip off the old block he.


khushi was all khushi, rushing from shop to shop trying to find business. oh, madam had also worked out a slogan... a copywriter in there somewhere? poor payal, always sweet, supportive, trusting, of her dear younger one. the little girl who came home all torn, tattered, and sweetest ever at the tender age of 8 and became the older girl's principal fan, her toy even maybe, finally part of her heart. i can feel payal's absolute doting on younger sis. "hum theek toh kar rahein hain na?" she'sd asked the mercurial one in their first scene... never bossy, always believing in this crazy girl. payal was wise beyond her years and brave too.

one big grouse against creatives. did the loveliest shots of khushi have to come as a result of the obsession of aaargh shyam? that loving rove over her features on tender music, with the married lustful cretin looking on. why, creatives, why? but oh she looked fab, the camera seemed to be making love.


love is the last thing someone wants to think of, and busy he gets planning di's anniversary bash replete with real lucknow sweets...


(oh loads of hindi fillum ishtyle symbolism in those three words; she that lucknow delicacy, he the diabeic that just can't have enough of her, hmmm).


but run away from love he can't... his own live in girl friend makes him remember. poor man. and by the time he's done with this:


and some more thoughts of strings breaking, pearls scattering, bikhar gaya, a girl looking at him with eyes brimming with tears and accusation, he is just drained.


mamaji on an aside, tells akash the wisest of things: don't marry, and if you must, make sure, it's not a lub marraigewa. mamiji seeks food in her worry and frustration, shyam continues with his lascivious pursuits, anjali looks at him indulgently, la is happy that at long last something that she can deal with is about to happen... no, not another puja... a party. bet la will have no problems about bathing in perfumed vapours and more for that. her rituals are for her places of prayer, i don't blame the girl.

and before i leave to dress up for the big do, just one thing, have you ever seen anyone turn around and walk toward camera quite so sexily? rabba vey...

Thanks for the PM Indi 🤗

Episode 57 Maha

Hide and Seek/ Peek 'a-Boo

He is always on the phone, making demands, organizing, ordering and in contol until the door opens; a gust of wind blows, the keys of the piano playing softly Rabba Ve and she walks in the door. His phone slowly leaves his ear. She is praying to the Goddess for protection and she hopes the Laad Govenor is not at home. "No, she is not here. I don't want to think about it." He says and continues with a phone call. The girls continue on their entrance to the Raizada home and are heading to the kitchen. Kushi is hesitant, looking around and hoping not to see that Rakshas! She must make sure he won't find her she will have to hide out in the kitchen! She is heading that way. He is on the move, heading towards her. This next scene was amazing with the ambience of the preparation for the party, scarves on pillars and poles, music playing softly in the background Rabba Ve, and both of them on the move walking towards each other but DM has plans for them. They are not to meet just yet and by her grace they miss each other because workers walk in between them carrying the scarves. The thin fabric just barely separates them, close enough yet so far away. Hide and seek, peek a boo, just loved how the creators did this scene!

She hears him talking with a worker, " I don't like people who make mistakes'", she sees him and she runs away so he doesn't see her but he hears her payal. He looks. Hide and Seek, you know she's here but can you find her? She runs in to the kitchen and Payal tells her what to do. Uncle Rahim is there and says to place the gulaab on a large platter. Just then Naniji calls him to come to the temple. He turns to Kushi and says go to the store room and get the platters. DM has a funny way to have these star crossed lovers meet. Payal sees how uncomfortable Kushi is and says she will go, but no our heroine takes a deep breath and says she will go because LG is not here.

Anjali and Shyam are in gold looking quite nice. She tells him he looks handsome and asks who gave him the suit. He tells her of which he has many. She gets upset.

Kushi is looking for the store room as she is walking she is talking to her self, "calm down, Kushi, he isn't here. Don't worry."

Shyam realizing his mistake says to Anjali, that she is his favorite admirer. She answers himthat she is lucky to have him. He replies that he is the lucky one, Rani Shaiba.

Kushi is walking right pass their room. This is a great scene she standing in front of their door and both Anjali and Shyam holding hands in the background. The phone rings and Anjali picks it up and is told the desserts are there. Kushi is still looking and says to herself I think this is the way. She walks forward and behind her we see Anjali coming out of her room heading to the kitchen missing each other. Another hide and Seek, Peek-a-Boo moment.

Kushi is till talking with herself and is saying how can anyone find anything in this house it is so enormous. She stops, she hears ASR's voice. He is walking her way. She prays DM what to do? She runs into a room, walking in backwards to Shyam's room who is walking into the bathroom, playing hide and seek again. She doesn't see him. Brilliantly done creative team! Well played. ASR walks by, stops in front of the room sensing her perhaps'Rabba Ve. The phone rings, he gets distracted, probably Aman interrupting and walks off. She steps out of the doorway and so does Shyam from the bathroom with a towel drying his face. He looks up but she is gone but does he sense that someone was there? We just had another came of Hide and Seek/ Peek-a-Boo.

She hears him don't you see where you are going? She stops turns he is scolding a servant who got his shirt dirty. "Devi Maiya why are you testing me?" Here he comes she has to go hide! She runs into his room. "Goddess where am I?" You are home my dear Kushi, you are home. "I would not come back to Delhi to run into him!" She looks out the door and he's coming. Where to hide? Where to hide? She runs behind his chaise, no not there. She jumps into his closet. Yes this is a good place to hide he won't find her there! Haha, DM has other plans in store. He walks in takes off his vest. Phone rings again. He goes to his closet to get another shirt, opens the door distracted by the phone, not looking into the closet he just reaches in to grab a shirt. Fumbling around with his shirts she assists him with one. He closes the door, walking away he realizes something. "I'll call you back", he turns staring at the closet, he rolls his eyes probably saying to himself 'I must be crazy' and walks away. She hits her head and squeals and does it again. He hears, turns around in disbelief and walks over to the closet and opens the door. "What the?" He is staring intently into the covered eyes of one Kushi Kumari Gupta!

Peek-a-Boo! This game of Hide and Seek just became interesting!

Anjali and Nani are in the kitchen where the aroma of Lucknow sweets has filled the air! Anjali is surprise to see Payal who explains that the sisters have opened a sweet shop and won their contract. Anjali seems happy about the great news! Payal congratulates her on her anniversary. Anjali introduces Payal as Kushi's sister the girl from Lucknow and Nani tells Payal that she is always happy when she talks with Kushi and now that she met Payal she is very nice and she feels good. Nani seems very pleased with the sweets. Anjali asks Payal where is Kushi? Playing hide and seek and peek-a-boo with your brother, that's where!

He is staring at her. She uncovers her eyes and looks into those intensely deep, chocolate brown eyes. She has to get out of here and fast! Those eyes, those mesmerizing eyes. She jumps down from the closet and tries to walk away he grabs her arm'.Rabba Ve. She breaks his hold on her and runs for her life. Her dupatta flying reaching out for him, he tries to grasp it it's just out of his reach. He calls, "Kushi'Kushi!"

Nani is so enamored by all the sweets. It is nice to see her smiling instead of scowling like she has the past few days. Kushi has the platters and comes back to the kitchen with that all so familiar worried look on her face. Payal sees her and goes to her and asks why she is so late. Anjali says to Kushi that she is very happy that she personally prepared these sweets for her anniversary. She tells her that when they meet she feels good. Nani chimes in again that nice people prepare sweets that are very delicious! Payal nudges Kushi who is in another world and says Nani and Anjali are talking to her. She snaps out of her private thought world and says Namaste to both of them and Happy Anniversary to Anjali. Mami then comes in and does her Mami thing. She sees the girls and wants to know why they are here. Anjali tells her they have the sweet contract for the party. Nani and Anjali leave. "Hmpfff," Mami says. In comes Akash and he sees Kushi and then is mesmerized by his lady Payal. Kushi tells him they brought the sweets for the party. Mami doesn't like what she sees and rushes her son away. No peek-a-boo games for you!

ASR is pacing in his room remembering HER words that she is leaving to Lucknow forever! He saw the locked door! What the! Why is she HERE? Lavanya walks in, "How do I look?" He doesn't answer and she tells him so. How can he think of anything else now that Kushi is back? Lavanya walks over to him and is straightening his shirt when Anjali walks in on this very intimate moment. She is taken aback I believe. ASR sees her, throws the shirt and walks away from Lavanya, asking Di why Kushi is there in the house. He doesn't know but he knows she does. Anjali answers him, "Yes, YOU ordered sweets for the party and Kushi and her sister got the contract. YOU ought to know, YOU are the one who made the arrangements." He answers that he gave the order but if he knew that they were commissioned he would have canceled it. She tells him to leave his anger or he will be punched in the nose. The sweets are great! Akash comes in and tells everyone to come down the guests are arriving. Lavanya says to ASR that she is so excited and she hopes they all like her surprise! He just walks away; he probably wants to just hide than face his reality.

Anajli goes to her room to freshen up and tells Shyam to go down everyone is here. She proceeds to tell him about Kushi and the sweet contract and when she turns he is gone. He didn't even hear her. He is going to be playing hide and seek soon.

Everyone enters the party greeting their guests followed by Arnav with Lavanya on his arm. This really bothered me, I really felt uncomfortable with her hanging there it just wasn't right! Kushi is trying topeek out from her hiding place to see what's happening. ASR welcomes everyone and introduces the happy couple. Anjali and Shyam come down the stairs. Lavanya is happy for them. They take blessings and gifts from everyone. Kushi says to Payal look how happy Anjali is. She is looking for her husband. Payal says forget it just come and help me. She wants one more minute to see. Mami sees her peeking and doesn't like it. Mami comes in and scolds her and says they should be working not just standing around and Kushi tells her sweets are served later. Mami says so you are not going to work before you serve the desserts? Go'Payal nudges her and says Okay. Kushi is quite angry with Mami right now but Payal soothes her.

Chit chat during the party, Mami talking about jewelry and Shyam is praising his bride. Lavanya's friends come to the party dressed in modern short skirts which Nani notices and is not pleased. The event manager comes to the girls making sure everything is going well and after they say yes he goes to ASR. As the manager is talking to ASR, ASR is just playing peek a stare with Kushi. She becomes very uncomfortable and leaves the room. Payal follows and Anjali wants them to play hide and seek with Shyam, no she wants them to meet her husband. On the way to meet him Nani calls Anjali and she leaves them. Mami sees them and tells them to serve the juice. Payal spills the juice and Kushi says she will go and find the wipes. Akash finds Payal and hands her her hanky which Mami is observing. Payal thanks him for the dupatta. I did not know it was from you. He says yes. Mami is in utter shock. She says to herself she came with sweet contract and now she is trying to make contacts. "Veil? I don't understand about the veil. I have to get rid of these Lucknow sisters." What game will she play now?

Kushi is at poolside looking for a towel. ASR questions her, "You said you were going to Lucknow." Kushi tries to walk around him and leave but he grabs her arm and pulls her close. She tries to free herself from his grasp. She asks him, why this insolence? He answers he can be ruder and she knows it. "I asked you a question. You said you were going to Lucknow and you weren't coming back. Then why are you here?" "Leave me, otherwise'" "Otherwise what?" Perhaps you are at home here. "This is my home" "I know this is your home. We spent all the money and manager did not tell us in time. I would have rather committed suicide then come to your home (and play hide and seek or peek-a-boo)." He answers that she has worked there before and anyway people like her will do anything for money. Lavanya calls for ASR while Kushi is in an uncomfortable position and tries to break free from him. She breaks his grasp and steps back. Lavanya asks her why she is here. She looks at ASR and leaves with her payal falling off her ankle. He sees. Lavanya asks if she belongs here. He says forget it. I say, yes she does. La says yes forget her! Surprise is on now. He looks back at Kushi's payal on the ground. At least he has another reminder of her. The dancers come on and everyone is uncomfortable except La and Mami. The dance ends with Lavanya in the finale.

Kushi is going to light the candles on the anniversary cake, she bends down to get the matches as Shyam turns to look. Hide and seek has begun. When he turns again he sees her. He remembers her saying she got a contract for a large sweet order. Uh oh it was his!

Someone is in trouble! It's your turn to play hide and seek. Go hide Shyam, we will close our eyes and count to 100. Ready GO'1'.2'.3'.4'..5'.

ha ha ha, i love it, and i can see you had plenty fun. almost peek a booing there yourself. i'd forgotten how loaded this episode was. uff all taht clever blocking and prolonging of tension. and right in the middle the out of control man manhandling his favourite sochna nahin chahta girl, can't wait to see 57. yes, i have not yet. but i so enjoyed reading it all first right here. tell that green guy to count till 1000. and let me fall for all those pink things, red great. you know i have not seen la's dance ever. so looking forward.
