"The book of love is long and boring; No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing
But I, I love it when you read to me; and you, you can read me anything'...
- The Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields, 69 Songs of Love.
Viewers, we have made it to the 100th episode of SKBM 🥳!!! Fellow Phunkhas 🤗 this means that you have spent a minimum of 1500 minutes (a total of 25 hours) of watching SKBM. Of course this is not counting the multiple reruns of episode 1 for the whodunnit conspiracy theorists and BRIJA scenes for the diehard romantics...
Today:
At the gate to Bhavna's residence BBP walks towards Mr. Curly hair and Mr. Crazy hair who are photographing him using a cellphone. As BBP walks towards them, they flee in their vehicle.
At Plot no. 63, Idgah colony (aka the Brija love nest), BBP knocks, enters and apologizes to a waiting Pooja for being late. He tells her that he has invited Bhavna to Gwalior and Pooja is happy. There is a sweet moment of teasing where BBP asks Pooja for a cup of tea which of course can't be made because none of the ingredients are present 😕. BBP pulls Pooja back onto a couch, says that the house is empty without a woman and asks her to set up house with him (I guess this is as close to a proposal as she can get from him). He then tells her that he loves her deeply and cannot bear the thought of her ever leaving him ❤️. When she brings up her departure to Pachmarhi after her program in Gwalior, he says that the very thought of that makes him anxious and hence he has had her father transferred to Bhopal so that they would never be parted (aur bhaiyyaji, woh bhooth jo haveli mein hai, uska kya karogey?). Pooja our Pachmarhi princess, pretty in pink, is ecstatic and folds into a Brija hug. ☺️Brija are lost in their hug and some heavy breathing 😳ensues before they break out of their reverie and decide it is time to leave. Our fly in the ointment, Arti calls Pooja to underline the point! Before they leave, BBP tells Pooja that when in Gwalior they would visit Shivpuri National Park (nice, I have been there, it is beautiful⭐️). For Brija lovers, the scene is better watched than read about...👍🏼
At daddaji's haveli, the ever subservient and submissive Mrityun bhai😕 meets with his lord and mistress, our desi dominatrix Rangoli Bai. His spy team (Curly and Crazy) has been working hard following (in a conspicuous white van) and photographing BBP . They discuss BBP's possible girlfriends based on the girls who will be at Gwalior, i.e., either Bhavna or Pooja. Rangoli dismisses Pooja; she does not think that the timid twit whom she met in Mauritius and at Holi could be a likely candidate. Rangoli threatens to kill any extramarital romantic interest that BBP has by shooting her with a licensed gun (why so much emphasis on licensed guns since yesterday? 🤓 There was the point about commandos also carrying licensed guns!!) - whether this be Bhavna or anyone else.
BBP gets to the Janwadi party office where he meets with some party members to review statistics about the electorate in Sagar. Suddenly, Psycho Pandey😡 sweeps in, unsettling BBP and the officials, sits down on the couch and then sweeps out after a few minutes. It seems she had come to quarrel with BBP or threaten him but could not because of all the people at the meeting. BBP is concerned and tells Shukla to double the security for his little romantic tryst in Gwalior. If anybody has any idea what that was all about please, kindly, enlighten me.
In a hotel room in Gwalior, Pooja and Arti are unpacking their clothes, when Krish and Bhavna stop by to invite them for a tour of the Gwalior fort. Arti agrees while Pooja declines and makes some lame excuse about Riyaaz and organizer meetings. Krish congratulates Pooja about the upcoming performance and leaves to attend a call. When Arti says she is proud of Pooja, the little one thanks her older sister and also praises BBP. Both Bhavna and Pooja get into a BBP-praise -bhajan ganga. Arti moves away a bit discomfited by the conversation.
A bit later, BBP (looking hot in a white round collared shirt) calls Pooja on her cellphone to confirm picking her up for a safari in the Shivpuri NP - they would rendezvous at Ram Vilas palace at 5 pm. However, it is Arti who picks up the phone😲 and BBP does not realize this before he hangs up. Arti sees the phone no. has no name, but she suspects it is BBP... So this is how Arti gets to know about the Brija plans!!! and now we have yet another jasoos who has a covert mission!
Precap: As Rangoli is confirming the details about Gwalior, Mrityun informs Rangoli that there might be a possible lovebirds getaway to Shivpuri NP. She tells him she wants the girl alive. And we know what happens to Pooja because of this...😈
If not the write up, tho kum se kum Brija ko tho LIKE kar do...😊
