Bhag Shyam babua - Part 8
 
 
 
Arnav ko kidnap karke socha use udaa doonga
Arnav ke saare jaaydaat ko dono haathon mein samet loonga
Lekin lawyer ne dala locha, bola pandrah din tak rehna hai zinda aaa aaa aaa ...
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua babua, bhag bhag Shyam babua bhag bhag
Saale saab ko bithake khilana, pilana hai, aur paise lene bhag
Aur gundon par bhi kharch karna hai, aur paise lene bhag
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua ...
 
Socha na tha ki Khushi bhi mujhse haath mila legi
Arnav ke paison ke saath saath, Khushi bhi mil jaayegi
Khel lekin Khushi ne aisa khela, main bhi hakka bakka reh gaya aaa aaa aaa
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua babua, bhag bhag Shyam babua bhag bhag
Arnav ko Khushi chudane se pehle, jaldi adde ke liye bhag
Arre saara plan chaupat ho jaaye na, jaldi adde ke liye bhag
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua ...
 
Khushi bhale mujhe mile na, Arnav ko bhi mil paaye na
Arnav ke haathon Khushi ka aaj kaam tamam ho jayega
Lekin dono bachgaye, ab khudko bachane ka baari aagaya aaa aaa aaa
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua babua, bhag bhag Shyam babua bhag bhag
Dhoondna hai bachneka naya rasta, naya jaal bichana hai bhag
Arre Rani Sahiba tak pehle pahunchna hai, naya jaal bichana hai bhag
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua ...
 
Khushi ke ilzaamo ko baaton mein ghumaliya
Saare sabooton ko aasani se pal mein jhatak diya
Lekin jhatka khaya, jab Arnav ne thappad maar diya aaa aaa aaa
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua babua, bhag bhag Shyam babua bhag bhag
Ab koyi daal galegi na, do thappad khakar bhag  
Dohri chaal sabke saamne aagayi, ghar se dhakka khakar bhag
Bhag bhag Shyam babua babua babua, bhag bhag Shyam babua bhag bhag
 
Translation:
I kidnapped Arnav and thought of killing him  
And gather his wealth with two hands  
But the lawyer said he had to be kept alive for 15 days
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
The brother-in-law has to be provided food, etc., got to get more money  
Have to spend on the thugs too, got to get more money  
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
 
Never thought Khushi will join hands with me
Now along with Arnav's money, I will get Khushi too
But the way Khushi played the game, I was left dumbfounded
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
Before Khushi frees Arnav, should go to the warehouse  
Hope the whole plan doesn't backfire, should go to the warehouse  
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
 
Khushi may not be mine, but she won't be Arnav's too
At the hands of Arnav, Khushi will be finished
But both managed to escape, now it's for me to save myself
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
Have to look for a new way to escape, a new web to lay  
Have to reach Rani Sahiba first, a new web to lay  
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
 
All accusations of Khushi have been twisted with words
All proofs have been discarded in an  instant  
But got a shock when Arnav slapped
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
Now no pretense will work, with two slaps have to run    
The dual ploy came out in the open, now being kicked out of the house  
Run run Shyam babua babua ...
 


funny but true.
After reading you poem I realized one thing that what a loser Shyam was! We complained that Shyam didn't get his deserving punishment. But he actually did. He was not a rich guy or moreover I guess he spent all his bank balance to hire and maintain that gunda gang. Then Arnav escaped and Khushi also. and finally his ATM machine Anjali.
what a punishment Shyam babua got!

episode 298



di, yeh... maine mangwaye hain. di, i ordered these.

tumne mangwaye hain? you ordered these?

aaj wo... yes, today...

hamare liye? for me?

he was a little unsure as to how to handle this, his sister thought the red roses were for her but he had bought them for the girl whose birthday he really wanted to celebrate. he was wooing her in fact, dammit. trying to get her to be happy, forget the fight and the bitter words of the night before.

then anjali hugged him, and a tenderness came over him as he felt her in his arms... she had been in such a bad shape...

a hand went up to stroke her hair, his face showed his own need to see her well... almost seventy episodes later, as his di suffered terribly in a hospital he actually enunciated these words... when di was a little happy, i would think all was alright again. today he simply let his expression say it. he let her illusion remain. 

haan, di, aap ke liye. yes, di, for you.

and with that he just hugged her, held her in his protective arms, made her safe again. every relationship has its place and need. he faced a challenge not unfamiliar to most of us. when, though his heart absolutely yearned for someone he loved and he had bought something as simple as her favorite flowers for her on her birthday, he just could not give it to her.

because at that very moment, another love needed to be cared for, given strength. and his beloved stood right behind watching the whole scene, clearly understanding the problem and approving of the choice he made. yet, in his own way, with only his eyes to tell her exactly how much she mattered to him and who he wanted to give those roses to, he said, of course he knew whose favourite flowers these were when his sister presumed he meant her. khushi's smile, which had peeped out already, became slightly bigger.

i liked the communication between asr and khushi here. the only thing that said what the in the head, was that message that asr just couldn't have written. apart from its tone, he never called khushi "aap".


i guess birthdays are about relationships in many ways. payal, who had also been trying to celebrate her beloved younger sister's birthday without much success till now, waylaid her when no one was around, holding her gift behind her, hiding it. khushi rose to the bait instantly. the girl obviously loves her birthday and a whole set of rituals are observed diligently by her family to mark it.

wasn't it on payal's birthday, when she had plans of organising a little surprise party that the man who was now looking at her with an ocean of love in his eyes had been instrumental in drowning her in a deluge? of an awareness that seeped through and poured all over and drenched the mind and body. and then there was the rain, of course.

a lovely little prattle between sisters.

kya chhupa rahi hai?
what are you hiding?

tumhara sar. your head.

she wants her gift, loves that leg pulling on her bday... khushi is looking happy and herself. the gota on the saree gets special attention. (how come that saree too was never seen again? another bday ritual, maybe?)

tum hamesha hamesha hamehsha hamesha hamesha khush raho.
may you always always always always always be happy.

payal makes a fervent wish for her sister. hamesha. it was always about that. especially today.


i feel bad for deepika pansare, a good actress, she portrayed an interesting payal, a girl who was quieter and more composed as compared to khushi, but who had depth, integrity and who was capable of thinking with clarity, she even had a steely determination, clear sense of right and wrong and tried to tackle all problems head on, facing them and often viewing issues in a rational, intelligent manner. and she never ever sounded preachy or achhi bahu, managing to look like a real person despite the mandatory tv bahu ridiculous saree, makeup, open hair. in the opening scene of ipk, she was stunning i thought, later in her simple churidars and low key make up with that quiet, lovely air, and surprising little bursts of humour, she was a girl i really liked. there was an intensity in her, a potential one sensed.

she also had a protective, tender, unquestioning love for her sister. a lot like asr's feeling for his di. the sisters shared a strong and sparkling tie, how they had dreamed together back in the early episodes. payal never knew how key she was in her sister's marriage, but then again, it was thanks to payal, that the two had met in the first place.

chaliye chaliye, miss kkgsr ji, chaliye...
let's go, let's go, miss kkgsr, let's go.

miss kkgsr... cute.

it was nk's turn to wish bday girl. she was delighted with his gift, which was really a promise that he said he'd be her friend... hamesha.

she also said, she didn't mind at all about the roses. to bring a smile on someone's face if asr did it, how could she not like it? she liked his gesture very much.

asr had to hear that, in a touch of heavy, hindi serial direction, and quietly fall apart. poor chap, just wants to see her feeling upbeat and pagal.

when she walked into her room, there was darkness, and then lights. this was no dream from another day, it was actually happening, all those beautiful fairy lights hanging in clusters. she smiled. she must have guessed what was afoot.


i loved the lights, the look, the feel of this sequence. actually, i fell for the man woman thing by the poolside. that's where he had to set up a lovely surprise for his wife of course. though he had informed nk such things were cheesy.

but only asr could make cheesy downright knees knocking hot, i had no doubt. i even liked the cake, nothing fancy, perhaps ordered from this lady who does special ones from her home. khushi saw everything. khushi liked everything. her man's efforts were not lost on her. and i bet she wanted to have him wish her, make her cut that cake, feed it to her... you know all the bay stuff.

behind her, from the dark a man came out,  a curious apprehension in his eyes...

against the blue of the night and sparkling little yellow lights, his brownness was even more stirring... dark chocolate ganache in the after hours.

she gave him a sweet little smile... though she sort of kept her distance. i got the feeling she wanted his wooing.

then bag talk started. fur coat came up... ah, the cause of first rabba ve. maybe they should preserve it in a museum or something, orange juice stain and all.

forget it... bag ko bhool jaao...

the man said in asr vein, not smiling so much any more. instead, focused, goal oriented asr. okay, the little roughness in the voice, the clipped tone, the determined air, i just have to swoon.

birthdays can put funny pressures i think and the unexpected, not at all longed for can start to happen. some sort of crazy dance between two people that really is all about do you love me, show me how. it's an intimate thing... with most wives always complaining that he forgot or in my case, he never forgets but this angst in me around some sort of expectation.


key word i hit. expectation.

from the one you adore... because you want to be his most loved one... esp on that day. your day. oh i loved it when khushi raved about it being her birthday not his. and smiled with him when she planned her revenge. mosquito coil of course took me straight to the chaise longue and the canoodling warring lovers. i fell breathless into the pool when he commanded her to blow candle, saying i have set all this up and you jolly well will do as i say, celebrate, woman. that forced cake cutting, only asr ha ha. and the heavy duty won't give in, while my eyes are saying all sorts of things and my anger is showing love for laad governor, only kkgsr.

the expected janamdin things happened but in a slightly unexpected way.

i am weird i guess, to me all of this just said: super sexual tension, major pyaar.

the party included candle blowing, cake cutting, cake eating, and additional surprise delights like finger jabbing, wrist grabbing, force feeding, a dammit, a step forward step back (which was short but real sweet, intense), eyes going from anger to adoring, birthday tantrum, and a most unique way of joining hands to celebrate.

however, sorry, that whole i don't want all this...

nahin chahiye humey bina matlab ki banawati cheezen.
don't want all these meaningless, pretentious things...

pretentious? meaningless?

that was a senseless one. and very hurtful. okay, she was still mad at him and needed to be appeased. but this was churlish and ridiculous.

and it said, alas, to me... she really did not understand the man she loved at all.

which is funny, because she seems to understand other things pretty well, like why he gave his sis the flowers.

very weak writing. if they wanted to prolong the tension, there were other ways i bet to do it.

by the end of the show, khushi just started seeming totally insensitive. her love for asr hardly coming through. pity.

and that whole he does not know how to say happy birthday... a suddenly thought up story with no meaning, just to create five episodes. whereas the can't say sorry was highly plausible, given the man's personality; and melded beautifully with the story.

c'mon, let's cut the cake...

at least candle toh bujhao, dammit!

stop there right now!

since all these beena matlab ke cheezen mean a lot to me, i'll just be happy with the poolside romance. aww he put the fairy lights because during new year she had this sort of lights in her room. or is it because she just lights up, no fairy lights up his whole life.

even when she is being mean and a brat.

anjali made kheer, brought it up, gatecrashed the party, saw her brother and his wife together, realised it was her birthday, went fairly ballistic, especially about the roses... at last she knew whose favourite they were. in anjali like anger, she chucked the flowers. she recalled
scenes of khushi and her shyam ji in various situations. did she feel perhaps, khushi was taking away both the men she loved and needed from her life? her two mainstays?

she had instinctively known who was the stronger of those two men and clung to him. just the day before she had asked him to make life as it used to be before. he had held her, rock solid, reassuring.

did she feel horribly insecure and turn totally petty because of that... how could you forget everything, chhotey? you'd said i was your world, now when i am in this state you are having fun with your wife.

it all sounded terrible.


yet, had the acting been a bit more nuanced and the direction a little less obvious, including the too pat under dressing and flat colours, i may have still understood this.

it's a crazy state of mind, extreme insecurity. not only asr, she has lost her parents too in a tragic way. and ever since childhood, her handicap has had its own effect, its own cruel play, making her feel all sorts of things that those who don't limp can never understand. chhotey was her anchor, then came shyam ji... things seemed to be better. she reached out for happiness but not too boldly. she did her pooja and path, pacifying the gids, seeking protection, praying nothing should go wrong.

then everything did go wrong.

somewhere i can identify with that broken fragile feeling. even its hysterical, almost vicious questioning of her brother's right to be happy.

but khushi's almost equally vicious rejection of asr, i will never get.

you forgot everything, anjali said of the man who remembered every single thing and tried his best, even if in his laad governor asr way.

Indi di, it really was bad writing to show khushi as insensitive." bina matlab ki banawati cheezen" Didn't get that, when she had a pleased look on her face on seeing, what he had set up for her. Really bad writing, and grave injustice to khushi's character. I dont' think she was ever petty, she had her reasons for being upset, but she had looked as if she wanted to move on from that. Oh well.

honestly, kizh, i could not get the bina matlab ke banwati cheezen... where did they get it from and why? this point onward kkgsr's bday just went south and was painful to watch. ruined her character... why though... who exactly couldn't figure out the writing made no sense? she sounded and acted almost cruel.

okay, i don't believe no one understood that might be the take out. someone very deliberately played the game of ruin... i am not imagining this. now it is beginning to look fairly obvious.

hi indu,

oh half the time i have no idea who is singing a song i like... in fact after istarted searching for mohit c songs when barun mentioned him, i realised i had heard many of them and never known the singer's name. i too like ganas. atif does sound a little off key at times, but i sort of like it... now you mention this technique.

the tagore dance dramas were perhaps not based on well known stories but used familiar settings and character types to tell a tale of love and more. i have heard most of them several times as a child, both my parents being very fond of his songs, especially my mother and also seem those dance dramas again and again.




Indi, did watch that musical video in bits... got the gist since you already explained.. the dancers didn't bother me much. I used to watch such years ago live on stage..

I was introduced to atif aslam early 2000 by a friend who knows my music tastes. the song he made me hear was atif's first solo hit in Pakistan, equivalent to Shafaqat's Aakhon ka sagar , it came around the same time as well. Now I cant seem to recall that atif's song, it started with aansoo, or something with A.. My google searches take me only to Kuch is tarah, bit i don't think it was that.  If any one you know the atif's  song I am talking about, please do let me know.

Just read ur 298 indi and watched the epi too.. my heart broke again for that man..there were a few things that i felt differently in my later watches.. not this one..
Indeed she turned into this utmost insensitive/ cruel self...how could she not see his heart and effort in all that esp after he said he noticed her doing that on new yrs.. he remembers everything about her..with that comic BG music and the tone writers seemed to have wanted to portray this as another of their see saw tom- jerry fight. But unfortunately i didn't see any romance nor is it a silly fight over a colliding with each other with him having business papers in hand and kaan pakadke maafi to play some intimate games with her ( how I saw it) .. only her stone cold heart and his relentless efforts to placate her are obvious here..

indu,

all that plink plonk music... if only it could make a thing funny or fun. i could actuallly take his roughness escaping the strict control he is trying to impose on it, because he just loves her so much... and all that do it now stuff. and yes, he remembers everything about her... it is he who will therefore recall the past moments i guess... and scare her with lights out because he remembers...

but how could they not see that that in pink would be how khushi would seem. even more so with those meaningless lines.

hard for me to believe this just happened because writers felt badgered by trp pressure.

that stone cold heart take away should never ever have happened.

the kaan pakadke and stuff, even though something had started feeling disjointed and puzzling, was yes, still somehow understandable... the tease in his eyes, the little challenging each other, all because of a feeling... which he at that point is trying not to feel. it was even fun. yes, definitely intimate. she too portrayed the hurt, ambushed feeling and her struggle with love pretty well.

but now.

ah well.

Indu, Atif started off with a band called Jal, who were big at one time. There's a song of theirs called aadat, which was a huge hit and was also used in a BW movie. Is that the one you're talking about? Shafaqat was also with a band called Fuzon, and if I'm not mistaken aankhon ka sagar is a fuzon song, so also khamaj.

Kizh, thanks for responding. no its certainly not aadat. Its a much soother number, It could be kuch is tarah only for all I know.
 
Yeah, aankhon ke sagar is a Fuzion song, but later many versions of it with Shafaqat as solo singe came out. I heard Shankar Mahadevan describing how he was bowled over listening to it while driving in Mumbai and called him immediately to India to record Mitwa..that kind of remained in my head..
