I Put A Spell On You
"I put a spell on you because you're mine, you're mine" Words and lyrics by Jay Hawkins
The house is in an uproar.
Things have changed. The Raizada
family has added a new member, a visitor, no, a guest, no, a future daughter-in
βlaw? Nehi, if Nani can help it. Anjali and Nani are in deep
conversation. Nani says to Anjali that
Chote threatens her with leaving the house all the time. Lavanya Kashyup has a spell on him. Doesn't
she see what is happening there? And
don't say to calm down! Anjali reminds
her that the moment she objected Lavanya did as she said. She says that means that Lavanya and Arnav
respect her very much. Anjali asks her
to sit, relax. "Nani, don't you think you are being a bit strict with Lavanya?" Nani thinks she will not be able to handle
this situation or get use to the family ways and traditions. She doesn't understand why Anjali can't see
it. She says Anjali will see it in a month's time if she is successful she will
become bahu of this family and if not then out she goes! Anjali believes that traditions take long to
learn. Nani disagrees. It's like teaching someone to breathe. Culture is not taught but lived. It is a person's heart and soul and it is
learned from the moment we come into the world not learned in a month or two.
Shyam is trying to reach Kushi both on her phone and at her
home. The home phone was busy. Anjali snatches the phone from his hand and
proceeds to tell him that he doesn't love her anymore since he is on the phone. She wants to know who worries him so
much. He is nervous, asks for the phone
back but realizes he will be caught so he acts as if he is mad at her and turns
away. He knows this will upset her. She asks if he is mad at her. She puts his
phone down and leaves. He calls her, "Rani Shaiba!" Kushi has a spell on him and he has a spell
on Anjali.
GH- Buaji is taking her inhaler, BTW way too many times, she asks
if they have their tickets. She asks the
girls do they really have to go? Payal
answers yes and Kushi says I can't decide to go or not. Payal says we packed we have the tickets we
must go. I can't live without our
parents. Kushi agrees. They must tackle the debt at home in
Lucknow. As soon as she gets to Lucknow
she will look for a job. Aunt tells her in
whatever you want to do think well before you do it. Kushi answers that she has thought about
it. The store is not just a store but
her home. Saffron and sugar are not only
sweet but is the air we breathe and it smells sweet with all our efforts. We grew up there it holds many of our
memories. These memories, the sweet scent of saffron and sugar have a spell on
Kushi. Aunt says everyone is worried
about everything but her. Kushi says
it's not so. We will miss you so
much. Buaji can't take it any more she
grabs hold of the girls and says please don't leave me here alone. Don't go you can find a job here. No Buaji we
have taken the decision. Our Lucknow
spell cannot be broken right now.
Mami is in Lavanya's room looking for her. She tells her in a
nut shell that Nani is out to get her but she is here and will help her! Lavanya seems to have a spell over Mami for she
is mesmerized by her wardrobe, her diet, everything. Mami is then given a talking to by her husband
who asks her why she went behind Nani's back and is supporting Lavanya. Mami figures if she allies with Lavanya helps
her to get Nani's support so she can marry Arnav then she can have the
opportunity for Akash marriage to be arranged.
Smart woman, I say.
Lavanya and ASR . He
comes in very comfortable it seems even with Lavanya wearing a bathrobe. He asks her if she needs anything and she
says "Yes, you." Ahem. Lavanya changes
and comes back saying "can you believe me wearing traditional dress like
Chamkilli?" At the mention of Kushi's
nickname he imagines her in the guest house incident and he hears her words of
leaving him and going to Lucknow forever.
Lavanya continues that she forgot her real name and he says
reverently-"Kushi Kumari Gupta." Lavanya
replies,"yeah, whatever." He tells
Lavanya not to feel bad about what Nani says and she says she doesn't feel
bad. Everything will be okay. "I know ASR, but I just feel bad we can't
stay together in the same room." He
doesn't respond. Interesting to me, I
don't think it matters to him, he really doesn't want to live in that manner
with Lavanya; his mind is on Kushi. He
has been bewitched. He says, "let's go
everyone is waiting." They go to the dining
area and everyone is there. La goes to
sit next to ASR and Nani stops her it is Anjali's seat. She sits across from ASR and Mami says now
you can see face to face. Shyam enters
and says he is lucky to be having tea with everyone. Anjali is a bit mad at him and is ignoring
him staring at her plate. He makes a
comment that the plate is luckier than him because it has her attention.
The servant is serving tea and when he gets to Lavanya she asks
if he has green tea. Nani jumps in with
besides cake with eggs what else do you know how to make? ASR is ready to
answer Nani and Lavanya says it's okay.
Nani says and not instant food, pure, tasty food made at home. Lavanya says there were servants at her home
and she didn't cook. She used tea bags
for making tea. She reaches for the
biscuits and Nani passes them away from her. Nani sees ASR and tells him to
drink his tea it is getting cool. Great
one Nani keep him in check! Shyam,
always the gentleman saves Lavanya by insisting that he can teach her how to
make tea and cook. He lets everyone one
know his queen is mad at him and ASR right away looks at his sister to make
sure she is okay. She tells him it's
nothing. As they pass the gol gappe to
Lavanya she asks if they were made with mineral water and Nani replies they
only use ground water. Lavanya puts the
plate down and away from her. Shyam
suggests she eats rice. He tells everyone
about the special snacks from Lucknow and ASR is looking at him. Why are you looking at me like that? He asks him. Just the sound of the place where Kushi is
moves his very soul. He is longing for
her and saddened by the thought of her leaving.
Shyam continues I know you are from Delhi and like the food here but
Lucknow is a very special place; it is difficult to compare anything to it, it
seems to cast a spell on all. No one
compares to Kushi in both these men's minds.
Mami responds it has been a long time since I had sweets from
Lucknow. She tells Lavanya that the
sweets are so good in Lucknow that people go to bed licking their fingers and
wake up with them gone! Anjali remembers
that Kushi was in Lucknow and the men remember her, ASR remembers her words
that she is leaving for Lucknow forever and Shyam pictures her in her Teej
saree. Both these men sitting at the
same table, next to each other with the thought of the same woman going through
their minds, it seems the spell has been cast.
