IPK ,Arshi and Sarun forever
Episode-82The episode is all about loving our parents. I want to dedicate this post to Cinthia.Khushi got pensive at Arnav's harsh words. She was sauntering towards the door to leave, when Naniji called her. She saw naniji was having difficuLty to pick the heavy stuffs. She rushed to her to help. naniji asked her to get some ganga jal (holly water from the river Ganges) from the mandir. God deliberately involving Khushi in Arnav's parent's barsi. Seeing her in Mandir Arnav got frantic again. he started lacerating her,"Why didn't you leave yet? only family members are allowed to do this pooja" Khushi got terribly hurt at his acrimony. She was about to tell that nani wanted her to get the water, but Arnav vexed her again,"i don't want to see your face in our auspicious day. Show your selflessness to nani in some other day, now get out." Khushi rushed to leave, but Anjali stopped her, 'why are you leaving." she saw her teary eyes. She took Khushi along with her. She asked her, why she was upset? Khushi was silent still crying. Anjali consoled her," Is the ambiance of barsi reminding your dead parents?" Arnav was right behind them. He intended to go to vex her again. But when he heard Anjali's words, he immediately halted. There was suppressed griefs in her voice"what can we do, how much we call them, they never come back. they only remain in our mind" Anajli added,"their memories and their blessings that remain only." she tried to pacify her," My mom used to say f you want to cry, cry your heart out. don't keep it in your mind. it lights up your heart." She took her in a warm embrace. Anjali wiped Khushi's tears asked her, if she was ok. (pause: Anjali is such a nice human being! She always loved Khushi like her own little sis. But devil shyam destroyed their boding in between. But by God's grace everything became fine again.) Arnav witnessed the whole scene. He remembered the afflictive words what he told to Khushi, He was in contrition,"I did wrong." He wanted to talk to her. But she was already gone.Shyam was flattering the elders by his guile and sweet words. But Khushi's dad suddenly felt severe pain on his hand and fall down on the ground. It seems like he was having a heart attack! Shyam rushed and brought a doctor. All of them got worried. Payal was begging Shyam to call Khushi. He got scared to call her, thinking if he get caught or not! So he was making excuses. Buaji again got obliged to Shyam and Gaimaji agreed her too, "shyam saved Sashji's life." Payal borrowed Shyam's phone to call Khushi. The doctor told shyam that it's a sign of heart disease and gave him some medicine, told him to take those regularly. otherwise he may have a heart attack in future." He also told him to let all the family members know about the medicine. Payal returned the phone to shyam and told him that some Rani saheba called. Shyam got alert and Anjali called her immediately. She was very annoyed at Shyam, When he told her that he will be late Anjali reminded him all the recent events where he came late and left unexpectedly. She cut his call in anger. Shyam muttered "how can I go as khushi is in RM?"Arns was searching Khushi everywhere. When he found Khushi talking to the maid, Anjali's words reverberating in his ears, that khushi was sad remembering her parents. He wanted to talk but he missed her this time also.Shyam tried to cheer up everybody and told them, not to worry. Gosh I hate his guile full words. Buaji asked him to call Khushi again. Shyam was hesitating. he reluctantly called, but the door bell saved him. he rushed to see who was in the door forgetting his phone on the night stand of Sashiji's bed. Sashiji was still very suspicious on him. When everybody left hearing Khushi's voice he asked Payal to get a pillow for him. By this time he took Shyam's phone to note Rani Saheba's number. Coz Sashiji was incredulous of his relationship with Rani saheba. Unfortunately he couldn't write the full number, coz Shyam appeared to get his phone right then. Both of them exchanged a suspicious look to each other.Khushi got panicked to hear about her dad. She ran to her dad and hugged him .Sashiji consoled her that he was fine,told her not to worry. They showed a divine relationship between this father and daughter.In Rm everybody sat for pooja. But Anajli was upset, coz her hubby was still not there. Mami was talking about his suspicious activity,"everytime he comes late.What important work he does?" Mami's words perturbed Anjai even more. Arnav couldn't see his di anxious, so he assured her that he will definitely come. The pandit started the pooja. Nani was crying in grief for her daughter. Akash consoled her. Arnav was immersed in praying. Again the incident repercussed him 14 years back to that haunted night. He clenched his fist in turbulence. He opened his eyes in a jolt and found the garland of his mom's side fell down. Did his mom's soul was in turmoil to see her son in turbulence?Today arnav didn't want Khushi to attend her mom's barsi. But soon he will take her to his mom's secret garden, what is his most sacrosanct place, where he never took anybody before. He took her there to give her his mom's blessings,he gave her the most precious place in his life and heart.I like to share this VM to remind you that Khushi is everything for Arnav. Thanks coldy for making such a thoughtful VM[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv6dV09Auqk[/YOUTUBE]
thanks for starting with that heartfelt and sincere gesture. this is indeed for cynthia. and you have written the feelings so beautifully. shashi ji was an incredible parent. he was sharp, sensitive, and progressive in his views. wanted his girls to do well, supported them and tried not to banish them to a dark little corner just because they were girls. the sort of parents that every girl in india deserves to have. never to be compared with boys and found wanting. interestingly, there never was any desire for son expressed by shashi ji or garima. and garima was fascinating; a mother, both whose daughters were not biologically her own, yet they were more hers than anyone else's.
many things in ipk chalenged convention and stereotype, and are worth learning from.
mami is a sharp one. the character is so colourful and interesting, and really you do meet people like this who can be quite bizarre at one level, but pretty canny to and sometimes very loving.
thanks for that lovely last para. and the vm.
