how much some people have suffered and yet triumphed. your grandmother sounds like one of the strong and indomitable ones. sometimes i wonder is the hard life given to those who can take it? but again thsiis is just a thought. bet won't pass muster iof carefully examined and observed. perhaps it ws her fate to see the rising above it that she did, or perhaps with her attitude she influenced that fate and helped take it to that point. guess we'll never know. but it was good to think of all this here and . thanks to you, riddlemaker. this whole life is with a crazy riddle, and i guess i'll never knoe the answer.

@Indi, agree, we give all this (un)due importance to fate, as perhaps it is not pre destined as such but is just random! The result of as mundane as a cricket match may not be after all predestined but was determined by the big bucks of some bookies, but who knows becos of their good/ bad karma they were "destined" to favor a specific team!! So, there is no way of knowing it how much ever we experiment ..:).

 

As Jiddu Krishnamurti said "A man who is conscious of detachment ceases to be detached"! So this sense of detachment has to be shown only when it is required probably at the end when one has to face the result (fate?). One has to probably show a total sense of attachment while doing the task and an opposite detachment after one attains the result so as to perform the next task.  A rather difficult cycle of attachment and detachment but probably necessary to keep doing karma, even for one who writes one's own destiny! As a firm believer of Karma theory, I try to take forward only the moral from my previous regrets/ errors, but NOT the bitterness associated with it as such.

And, one's actions certainly can change the course of things, but not their ultimate result as most of the times it involves more than one doer and one way of things! So while the belief of "ahem bhrahmasmi" is extremely important, at the end of the day karma theory keeps the world order rolling! I guess that is the whole essence of being blessed with the supreme form of life, that is being a human, blessed with the power of discretion.. with their will power and good karma, taking a better/ a righteous route is certainly in their hands although destination as such may not, which again may be random!

 @Arshi, I don't think Anjali's belief as such was weak becos her devotion never waned and it was only a weak moment for her about the baby. So her belief system in God essentially worked as a support system for her as she is NOT as strong as ASR or Khushi both of whom had the guts to abandon the Supreme power and solely rely on themselves, ofcourse for ASR it was in decades where as for Khuhsi it was a few weeks/ months she stopped talking to DM! I am again sorry for you and totally applaud your efforts/ ability to move on. Wish you all good luck in this fight back in/ with life!

 

Episode 94!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arnav is looking for Khushi and then he finds a broken bangle (now the hunt starts for his lady love for sure…she well get a mouthful for sure). He's very worried, and continues calling out her name…KHUSHI!!! KHUSHI!!! KHUSHI!!!

Akash is on his way to work, complaining he has lots of work  to do and he will eat out . As he opens the door, he sees Payal.  Cute payash moment happens.  before he lets her inside, Mami sees them and gets upset…in my opinion jealous because payal and khushi get more respect than her, respect is earn and not given. She then saids that when one sister leaves, and the other one comes. Turns out Payal was there because Lavanya called her and she wanted to learn chikan kari (sorry I mean chicken curry) work. The girls leave, and Akash closes the front door without leaving. When questioned why by Mami why he is not leaving because moments before he said he had tons of work to do, Akash makes excuses that he's waiting for Arnav to reach Nanital and that is when the work begins (nice excuse lover boy). I think mami did not buy that excuse fully…she is very suspicious…

Meanwhile Arnav is still looking for Khushi, he calls out her name…khushi answers back asking if her five minutes up. It turns out Khushi fell into a hole (very shallow hole, in which she could have easily gotten out of—drama logic I tell you…but then again if I was with a hot guy I would be that helpless too).  Arnav is angry now and said why didn't she answer back when he called her name? Khushi complains and said that you told me to be quiet so I was just listening to you...arnav gets annoyed and then question if she has any common sense…she gets offended…khushi asked him for help and that it is common sense to help her out…he then gets his hand out but khushi first hands him her shoes…and he is like really…she puts them on and then before she gets out she puts the pakoras on the ground and then grabs his hand and finally she gets out of the hole…(only khushi could do this)…she then trips into his arms (here I am burning with jealousy). Rabba Vey... and then Khushi quickly dusts Arnav's jacket because it was dirty. They walk off

At the Gupta's, the adults are sitting down when the snake comes in with something for Bua. Shashi looks on, as Bua praises the snake endlessly. They talk of jalebi, and then Bua makes a comment on how the snake shares a birthday with Khushi. However, Shashi calls him out on the birthdate. Then shyam said that his parents changed his date for school so he can be ahead in his education and he said that in this country the birthdate does not matter (nice logical excuse)… and then he bragged saying that he is pretty smart for his age (no one likes a braggers shyammy) shashi had to believe this but he is still wary of him…

The scene shifts to, payal teaching lavanya how to do chikan kari…and akash is nearby "reading" a newspaper…he keeps stilling glances of payal.  Payal is "showing" la chikan kari…while la has a chandan face mask on her face…more like payal is doing her work…but anyways…la's face dries up and she tells payal that she is going to wash her face so meet her in her room…payal is about to go to her room when she steps on a shard of glass and her feet starts to bleed (I am wondering why she took of her shoes, I mean she wears shoes in her own home why not the RM) Akash jumps out of his seat and goes tend to payal…he notices that she is dripping blood and calls for OP to bring the first aid kit…akash lifts payal up and WALA mami ji appears and tell him to put her down this instant because she had a new dream that akash is a joru ka ghulam  (she should be happy that akash is with someone in her dreams, the exact opposite of her other dream)…akash was like she needs help…akash eventually puts her down…and then mami makes a huge  hungama (I do not want to go into it…my blood is boiling just thinking about it)…after the screaming session…payal limps off without getting her foot fixed…and Anjali comes and askes payal what is wrong…payal was like nothing…mami said that she should leave…anjali said that she will not leave until she has tea with me…mami was like HELL no…but everyone was telling payal to stay…right then shashi called payal and asked if everything is okay…payal lied and said yes…akash was listening to this and is admiring her niceness after everything that happens.  Anjali then takes payal with her. (I am so happy Anjali came in time…atleast she is stubborn like her chotey at times)

The scene shifts back to arshi walking in the jungle…khushi is walking and she is itching like a crazy person…arnav was like why are you dancing…khushi was like something when into my clothes…arnav was like wow just keep walking…and then BAM a bathroom conveniently appears…and khushi was like I will be right back…she hands him her pakora container (most girls hand their man their purses to hold but not khushi…she makes him hold her food) he's holding the pakora and khushi is taking off her clothes in the bathroom to get relief…arnav is wondering what is taking so long when he spots a man in a suit on a bike…he ignores it and someone takes khushi's clothes…an girl dresses like khushi runs to the man on the bike and arnav is like if you run I will cut your whole salary…the girl keeps running and leaves with that man and arnav is confused…then he hears khushi scream CHORI CHORI…arnav is mesmerized my khushi's new outfit (when I see or with a hot guy I will put on my dupatta just like that…then the guy was just be fida over me…okay enough of my wishful thinking) and khushi was like that girl stole my clothes and arnav was like that can only happen with you…and khushi was like I know but I do not know why…but that motorcycle girl stole my clothes and arnav was like and those clothes…khushi was like I wore her clothes because she took mine…but anyway these clothes are nicer and not dirty..she then said that delhi theifs are weird…then she said let's go to the dhabba where you get one Punjabi thali and one pone call free (what a deal!!!) arnav gives her a look and khushi was like I will not talk for 10 minutes…she turns around and her dupatta flies off her but lands on the ground…looks like only dupatta that are property of KKG(SR) only fly to arnav's face….Will arnav and khushi be safe and not get into any trouble???

Ok Hi everyone.
 I am back home. I have read some of your analysis and I have read Durga's poems and Wiwy's riddles.
 Loved Sohara, ARSHI, Indi and Ami's analysis. Reminiscing past with Supriya, Chalov and Kathelyn's pictures of ARSHI.  Welcome back Ami. I also am in the same boatwa as you. After a long journey. I have to say so far the best drive I did was across Pennsylvania. It was gorgeous. And did not know there is a mountain names after each color of the rainbow
There is also a mountain named after each colour of the sky and horizon. WOW. So although I was missing ARSHI land I was also dreaming and thinking, Allah made this earth beautiful and the sky even more.

episode was going beautifully, all the gussa, drama action that you could ask for, balanced with taste and understanding, written with lightness and ease. episode 91, where he will use her words to get maafi, forgiveness from his sis. "chhote kabhi galati karke maafi maange toh bado ka farz banta hai ki unhe maaf kar de, kyunki... chhotey kabhi galati jaankar nahin karte," when younger people make mistakes, elders should forgive, because younger people don't make mistakes on purpose.
THESE WORDS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE WAY HE DELIVERS THESE WITH HIS MODULATION TOO GOOD AND WHO CAN'T FORGIVE HIM.

lovely words.😊.. and a clever way to connect two people who just don't get it, though they are utterly gotten.

the saving di scene was over, children had apologised and a gruff but mollified asr had said "theek hai, doosra ban jayga," (it's ok, another one can be made),hoabout the model that lay shattered in his room, ruining hours of hard work and the man's mood. tugh he had been angry with khushi for all the game playing and hurt perhaps at her telling the kids that he's rakshas, big, tall, and human eating (strange, huh, the day after i think of hannibal lecter and anthony hopkins's performance watching barun's asr, he is called a monster that eats children... telepathy? should i pass out, hyuk),👍🏼 after what she'd done for his beloved di, he was touched and ready to forgive her, and everyone for all the hidden "khufiya puja" with kids every year. 

HER WORDS THE WAY SHE THINKS OF HIM MATTERS TO HIM A LOT BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW HIS OWN BEHAVIOR MAKES THIS SOUL CONFUSED AND WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME  THESE NAMES ARE BECOMING JOKE TO HER TOO 
all sat relaxing in the living room and when khushi said she had to leave, he was strangely alert, watching her, as though something on his mind, or maybe he just didn't want her to go. but then she said she had to rush or her parents would worry and left. of course, just then anjali remembered, khushi hadn't eaten anything the whole day... vrat; and she had packed a   dabba, box, of food for her, which she'd forgotten to give. that's all that was needed. he jumped to his feet with a "you sit, di, i'll give it." a little hesitation on the "aa...aaap," as though he was somewhat surprised at his own reaction, finding it hard to explain it to himself or anyone else. nani was thrilled and beamed.
LOVE HIM HERE AS HE HAS VERY LOVING AND DEMANDING ATTENTION LOOK AS HE WANTS TO BE NOTICED LIKE THOSE KIDS

and with that we came to a word and a look that refuses to leave my head.
   
 
remember that "wo..."? he's holding a ridiculous little steel dabba. she has just gone into a frenzy of nonsense talk at his call, thinking he's still mad at her about the model. no the moustache... no no it wasn't her idea, it was the kids... in fact he doesn't look good with a muccha at all, no really... not that? then maybe the pot? pot? yes the one with leaves... no she didn't break it... bilkul nahi, not at all... wo hamla gamne nahi toda. in a fit of spoonerism she has just said that attack sadness didn't break, instead of that pot i didn't break. he can't take it, he raises his voice, but ever so gently, er is that even possible? there's even a thin edging of right, haq, in it.

"khushi kumari gupta... do minute... beena kuch bole, ya sune, aur hile... do minute...meri baat suno." khushi kumari gupta... two minutes... without talking or listening, (she starts to move her hands, startled and shocked needing to do something, can she also sense that his voice is firm but not mean, not angry? oh she is not used to this timbre)... or moving... two minutes... listen to what i have to say.

khushi freezes and waits, as per laad governor's instruction.

"wo... di keh rahi thi tumne subha se kuch khaya nahin... wo...kuch kha lo."

wo... so utterly beautiful this word suddenly, just an er or um in english i guess. a gently curved upward wo, a little lost and wondering wo, a frenzy creating wo.a man is feeling things he's not used to. yes, in that wo is his gratitude for her handling of his di when she needed help. for being there.

LOVED IT THE WAY THIS Wo -- man is coming together👏👏👏

for doing what needed to be done and bravely, with commitment. perhaps a little guilt in it too for not listening to her when she'd called him frantically, thinking she's upto some trick again. but more than all of that, there's concern for her in it. not when she was with tears in her eyes, that was an involuntary response in him from the beginning. this was different, he felt an urge to care for her, he didn't want her to be hungry. he wanted to see her before she left, be the one to give her food to open that fast with... something he didn't believe in, but she did. he wanted to be the one. at the mandir on the day of teej, he'd opened her fast by mistake, making her drink water, just to keep her from passing out. but today, he did want to be the guy to give her that dabba. something terribly caring in wanting to feed someone, isn't there. an awfully tender feeling.

MY FAV YOU CONNECTED IT SO WELL YES HE LITERALLY WANT TO SPEND EVERY RITUAL WITH HER AGAINST HIS BELIEFS BUT [MY POV] AS HE SAW HIS MOTHER DOING EVERYTHING ,HE WANTS TO DO THAT ONLY HIS BELIEFS SHOOK OFF BECAUSE WHAT HIS FATHER DID TO HER SO HE THINKS ITS USELESS AND HAD NO MEANING BUT INTERNALLY HE WANTS TO DO THAT AS KHUSHI,"HUM JANTE HAIN AAP WO SARE PAL JEENA CHAHTE HAIN" 

in that wo, there was care, a little embarrassment too, he wasn't used to doing this, he wasn't used to even feeling like this, and frankly this crazy woman just made him feel helplessly protective, he had no clue why. all of that in that one little hesitant, wo, and a looking away, searching for the right tone of voice and words. delightful. for i also felt a whole surge of the feeling commonly known as love in his one syllable. pehli baar mohabbat ki hai... akhri baar mohabbat ki hai. first time have i fallen in  love... last time have i fallen in love. gorgeous words of gulzar from kaminey playing on my comp, fits perfectly in with that "wo."
👏 YES HE IS STUCK WITH HER AFTR FIRST SIGHT
the man is asr yet he flounders a bit for the right words, not wanting to give too much yet wanting to give... asr, just a wee bit lost, but sexily, what else. that's barun sobti doing asr... can anyone else do that.
NO WAY 😉

she of course was dying of "tez bhookh," gnawing hunger, just moments before. and when she'd heard his "khsuhi," she was prepared for the worst.

then he said, "wo... di keh rahi thi tumne subha se kuch khaya nahin... wo...kuch kha lo." wo... di said you haven't eaten anything since the morning, wo.. eat something. a gruff sort of tenderness, i give a damn, hume faraq padta hai, all tumbling out around the sides and edges of all those seemingly everyday words. the ocean has anger, the ocean has love. both equally intense maybe, but there's a sweetness in his love that his anger can't make you forget. once you've heard him saying that to you, how can you ever hate him?

NOP THATS WHY SHE ALWAYS FORGIVES HIM

no, not possible any more. not when you've felt this tenderness. for you have seen him without his mask, as he is. just a man looking at a woman, telling her, he does indeed give a faraq.
   

sanaya's khushi showed all of that with her strange khushi behaviour. ❤️first a nonplussed, heart flipping baffled look, then a grab of the dabba, this time not trying to avoid their fingers from brushing against each other. now why did that steel container, plain and from the beginning of time faceless, suddenly start looking like a pair of earrings, a 10 carat marquise cut, d colour, flawless clarity diamond set in each? and then she did what had to be done. scooted. possibly before it all overwhelmed her and she fainted again. you see the dhakdhak attack had returned the moment his sentence of "wo" ended.

there was nothing for him to do but stand there, arm extended, turned to statue by this implacably bizarre behaviour. finally, his mouth opened and out came another word that really was a code word for "gah, i faraq you."yes, he said, "ajeeb hai yeh."
LOVE BOTH OF EM SERIOUSLY THEY BOTH TOGETHER ARE TOO GOOD👏👏
in that private moment between the two, rabba ve delicately tiptoed around, "wahtsup, you two" it seemed to be saying.

dhakdhak dhakdhak dhakdhak
 

she sits at the table thinking of him, the box open in front of her... his sweetness everywhere. di said you haven't eaten anything since the morning... eat something.
SHE HAS FOOD AND SHE IS HUGRY AND HE GAVE HER AMRIT AND SHE CAN'T EAT IT AMAZING LIKE SHE WILL LOSE TH ESSENCE OF THIS CONNECTION, HIS TENDERNESS OR THE SWEETNESS OF HIS LOVING WORDS 

payal says are you going to just stare at this the whole night or eat? so she hasn't been able to eat...  "jiji, ussne diya hai... woh woh ll...laad governor ne..." jiji, he's given it... that ll...laad gov. almost a caress on that "ll...laad governor."

"tumhe kya lagta hai... issme zahar hai?" what do you think, there's poison in it? payal pulls her leg and tells her to hurry up.

khushi has not been able to eat? really?

she sits there thinking of him, breathing getting faster, dhakdhak coming on, music plays a note of happiness.

slams her hand on chest, dabba (or diamond danglers, depends what ya see in it) in foreground. she has to stop that deafening beat, has to bring it under control. 

"yeh hume kya ho gaya hai... humare saamne khana hai, aur hum kha bhi nahin pa rahe hain." what's happened to me... there's food in front of me but i can't eat.

asr not gussa. khushi not being able to eat. gadbad hui hai. there's gadbad, big trouble. la was picking on it maybe, she was looking hassled. but neither the small city girl nor the big city boy, for all their dil and dimaag could guess what's up. even when the dimaag boy got it, the dil girl wasn't quite there...

HAHA WELL SAID OR VICE VERSA 

"iss... iss dhadkan ko kam karna hoga." i have to reduce the heart beat. and apparently this is achievable. all you have to do is not think of him and stay away from the man. you can do that, khushiji?

that will cure the acidity or "jo bhi bimari' whatever ailment this is.

decision taken, she flies past asr in the morning when he opens the door, ignores his call, gets called ajeeb, sets about enthusiastically to plan a way to get la and asr together on the way to nainital. a plan that will make sure they'll spend some time with each other. and ensure, says la, that asr will marry me

marry la? so why did khushi's brow pucker at that and a sad air pass over her face?

wo...

THAT WAS TELLING AND SCREAMING AT HER BY HER HEART HE IS YOURS GIRL STOP THE NONSENSE.

there was something fascinating in the writing of ipk. one actually felt one had seen two strangers meet, get to know each other, feel an attraction that was overwhelming, their relationship progress, and then they finally get together, intimate and essential in each other's lives. a whole relationship come into being. that was just lovely. wo... brought us another step further on the path.

YES WE ARE GETTING INTO ANOTHER PHASE
