@Wiwy: You make a lot of sense my dear.. things that are so very close and special to our heart we tend NOT to share with anyone.. like ASR- Khushi encounters strictly remained between them not shared even their siblings for whom they were ready to go through hell (or so we thought until mamiji blew if off on Sangeet day about their Diwali kiss:)). Some times I feel I am almost cheating on my hubby as in "pati, patni aur woh" and we all know who that "woh" is!!😆 Just like the tranquil pool side, silent stars, payals.. and chabis remained the silent witnesses to their passionate feelings.. our respective laptops and ipads will serve as the same for us!!😆

@Arshi, I can't watch it with my hubby around, let alone kids. not sure whats wrong with me!!:)

@BW, was it even allowed on saintly SP on a prime time show?? I remember some slogans when Maryada ended to move IPK to that 10 PM  slot. Even then, Barun and Sanaya would have NEVER agreed for that! But the much promised rain song would have been great... it would have been Shola in Shabnam..:)

enjoyed that in pink, horizon.

i could never be detached despite trying hard,  😆 like i couldn't read dr zhivago. i am the attached sort od person. i think of desire as essential. maybe because i have a lot of it at one level. without desire how would one live, what would motivate one to live? stanley kunitz's cricket who is moved by "desire desire desire," comes to mind.

from his "touch me," published in 200 when he was around 90 i think. an avid gardener and poet is moved to write this about the cricket he sees while working, and ponders on his own state of being.

under a gunmetal sky 
staking my garden down, 
i kneeled to the crickets trilling 
underfoot as if about 
to burst from their crusty shells; 
and like a child again 
marveled to hear so clear 
and brave a music pour 
from such a small machine. 
What makes the engine go? 
desire, desire, desire. 
the longing for the dance 
stirs in the buried life. 
one season only, 
                     and it's done. 

but yes, that cycle of attachment detachment, that's the challenge, that's the key, it seems to me. do your work to the best of your ability but without thinking of its fruit. the one thing in the gita that i think about and find myself agreeing with as time passes. it is wise. that is the only way perhaps to live on this earth with its many vicissitudes,  and yet remain whole. and to work with one's best, someone as base as me needs to feel the attachment. 

fate is inescapable if you grow up in india. it's there in everything, language, culture, names, bhagya. everything is that. yet, a little something says, then what am i? why me? why my peculiar me-ness? and slowly over time this thought of two things moving life came about. one set in you. one set outside of you. i have a say only on the first bit. so i stick to that, let the outside do its own thing, whether as friend or foe or disinterested bystander, whether logical/causal or random. 

and i continued to believe in the eternal, more and more, yet pretty much freeing it of having to do wonderful things for me. trust faith love, and the ability to think/feel it all. oh to be a human being. though i don't think i mind being a tree and it's not because asr has one and loves it. 😆

Ha, ha. I was sort of expecting this reaction. 😆 Can't compare Barun's ASR with anyone. But, just saying that the character would suit Sobhan babu, more than anyone else among the heroes of those times. Oh, by the way, I do like his voice. Hmm.. been awhile since I saw a movie of his. Got to check if the channels have any to offer.

Episode: 93

A dhakka to the dhak dhak 😉 

 

Parody on the song 'Dhak dhak karne laga' from the movie 'Beta'

 

Dhakka lagaane laga, gaadi ko dhakka lagaane laga

Gaadi jo beech mein ruk gayi, wo driver ke seat pe baith gayi

Aur main dhakka lagaane laga, gaadi ko dhakka lagaane lagaaa...

 

Seedhey seedhey dhakka jo lagaane laga

Wo daayaan baayaan, baayaan daayaan karne lagi

Apni taakat pe guroor tha, Khud dhakelne ki zid karne lagi

Maine usko taala bada, par mushkil tha uska chup rehna

Uski badbad se tang hua, uski zid ko maanna hi pada

Sarka, zara na sarka, gaadi ki tyre hi phat gayi

 

Apni haalat pe hasaa, paagal ke saath jo phansaa...

😆

 

Translation: 

 

I am pushing, pushing the car

The car which stopped in the middle, she sat in the driver's seat

And I'm pushing, pushing the car

 

I was pushing the car straight

She started doing right, left, left, right

She was over confident about her strength, wanted to push herself

I ignored her a lot, but it was difficult for her to be quiet

I got fed up with her blabbering, had to give in to her demand

It didn't move a bit, the car's tyre got punctured

 

I laughed at my own situation, I am trapped with this mad person

😆

@ Sohara:

Enjoy your singlehood dear...While watching Arshi now, when the mundane world calls for my attention, there were indeed times when I just wished to go back to those graduate school days where I could spend all my time without worrying for anything else.. But on  a hind sight I feel my marital/motherly  responsibilities helped me to remain sane.. otherwise I would have certainly been in a Rehab by now...😆

But we sure will look forward to welcome you into our club  soon and good luck with your Rajkumar!

 

@BD: Tarah, Tarah ki laaf.. how creative like indi said, reminds of many of those utterly creative dialogues of our show!

Being the  opportunist reader I am, not an avid, chanced up on "Touch me" and was indeed touched.

Red: Yes, it is indeed the only way, as there is NO other way to lead a normal life if one is eternally guilt struck. These are the norms, what we label to be best practices, some times I can follow some times I can not. But my effort continues!

 

Our father passed away last Oct after being bed ridden for 2 yrs becos of Stroke. It was hard to see a man , who always believed in self help and never really expected anyone to do things for him,  in a complete immobile state. Not sure how far he / anyone for that matter deserved to lead their last few years in that state, and on a hind sight not sure now if we did our best to take care of him, still guilt struck... and looking for a closure...for some one who gave all the care and freedom to his daughters after our mother's untimely death when we were in very early teens! Do I call this fate.. probably yes.. otherwise there is no way I can lead a normal life without transferring all that stress to the people dependent on me.. my hubby and kid!

As a fan. some where I feel my ill luck is passed onto IPK.. hence that abrupt closure that it seldom deserved! But I am trying to accept these and move on with what I am supposed to do as a wife/ mother/ employee!
