hello cineraria, pilleejh to take the edits. i am thrilled you like. thank you thank you.

pixlr editor is the one i use, sometimes express. i am a very basic edit maker... that black and white with touch of colour is the kamal of duplicate layer, eraser and a bit of contrast play.

thanks so much for reading the ramble... soon i will have not much to go on about, as isstory will take a break for hamesha, maybe i'll just make loads of edits then. 😆.

the lines in purple, yeah, this asr character... stunning really. was telling my friend just now, who said breaking bad has led to her having she serious discussions with her son on moral and ethical issues i said asr has the same effect on me, as does the destruction of female characters. 

when we are done with turning our noses up at all things on a screen and considered that scary word "popular", we might actually chance upon the really meaningful stuff here...

and really, i think the actor of asr interpreted him with so much integrity... made him just reach out and touch a nerve or sinew or artery in me.

"pagalpan aur madness toh hai, jahan khushi ho wahan pagalpan aur madness toh hona hi hai..." there's insanity and madness, but where there's khushi ther has to be insanity and madness.

didn't quite like that. too too too pat. episodes back, that "pagal" after the success of the getting payal to admit her love for akash, or the pagal of holi, or the pagal hai par cute hai... they were all lovely. this one was asr with artificial sweeteners. not good in ad, not good in skd.

okay, he has hit upon an idea to get her back to her smile... that's it! purane moments.

Thank <i>youbehen, now I get the edits and the softwares as well.😃😃Oh what you call as ramble is such a delight to read, I have bookmarked the mega index of BFTP, I'll catch up with all of it, islowly islowly.</font>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="2" color="#000099">And say bhat, more edits,🥳I am making a folder now, dedicated to the edits you guys make, all of you are fabulous.👏</font>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="2" color="#000099">But I am already pheeling bhery sad, we have already crossed the 300 mark,and post the remarriage, no matter how much of our brains we invest, there was no sanity left in the plot, not even insanity, just some crap and some more.😭</font>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="2" color="#000099">Honestly the only reason I still watched the show was to get glimpses of the ASR who had had me entranced to begin with.</font>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="2" color="#000099">I agree, the character of ASR was an allegory, it represented an ideology, the same could have been with khushi as well, but her character was largely inconsistent and like you said, the realism in it was sacrificed to pander to a contrived notion of idealism.</font>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" size="2" color="#000099">A character in a written medium is an author's vision and a reader's imagination but when that character comes alive on one's screen, the third dimension of the actor's personality has a huge impact on it. If ASR was played by someone else (very hard to even imagine), it wouldn't have been the one I know, I am not even sure if I would have ever paused on a desi sabun channel to know him if that were the case.</font>

Channeling the spirit of Anjali,"aap ithni si ho, lekin baath bahuth acchi karthey ho" (humraa hindi thodi kamjor hai, so forgiviya pleej!!!) You put it so beautifully. A huge part of the connect we feel with the characters is because of the way the actors brought them to life. If not for sanaya, I don't think I could've stood khushi, the way they've made her out to be now. Watching the reruns, I think I won't be watching most of it from now on. The other day after watching one of the remarriage episodes, I went and watched some of the old episodes, I felt sad for the two characters, for what became of them. Even ASR, maybe not to the extent of khushi was played with.

You damn right about the singers. By the time you know them they are gone in thin air just like the insensical songs and its lyrics

I liked his Khuda jaane and the song from Gangster too apart from Tadap Tadap.  His voice sure had the depth. 

@ Indu does it mean this thread is run by aunties apart from one or two😛

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Here is to my bakwas poetry... 😆

on a serious note, I do think that's thesupreme quality of IPK, the script, characters, enacting, music.. that the so called many jaded cynical middle agedworkingwomen (me one among them) who were never into desi soaps are vortexed into this love story from all corners of globe. To immensely like something one among the many you watch is one thing.. but topull people into stuff that they thoroughly written off and never really cared is altogether another...

that's why IPK is a trendsetter.. a phenomenon...

oh well.. again you are talking to a... an IPK jaded..yes yes...

hormonal aunty...😆

Ria, yes, that term was coined by hedge saab.. you didn't read his (in) famous letter?

Behen 🤗  I can give you a list of at least 100 songs of his that are to die for. Many of them never got all that popular,   

I hear you, most of these songs are nonsensical, frankly I am not much fond of the kind of music being churned out of late. As far as Bollywood music is concerned, late 50s, 60s and 70s are my absolute favorite. That was the golden era, timeless melodies, soulful singers and lyrics. Those songs are still alive, still heard, still enjoyed unlike the chartbusters with shelf life less than that of a soap bubble. 🤢

asr minus gussa, how will he think, how will he breathe. how will i breathe.

oh that khushi's ott... which brought me, in despair, ragged, breathing gone shallow to the forum, she who let asr fall on gobar and bathed him at the roadside tube well... who is she? she who watches kamlesh khabri and daily horoscope baba and decides to kill herself... did a chudail from some other serial take over her body/mind/soul?

she never did recover from that whole thing.

how could she. once you've said a girl can contemplate killing herself because she thinks, based on a tv show, that her husband is in love with someone else and his entire game is to kill her to take care of some problem in his horoscope and so she will do the job yourself because, er, i have no idea why... and before leaving she will write cutesiepie will to show how loving and sweet she is (hayee re gautam hagde, instead of bothering about hormonal aunties, you should have worried about your hormone delpleted writing), i mean, who shall have my old mojris and my plastic stars???... and then she make several calls while perched on a parapet ready to jump...

i mean really, can anyone resurrect a girl one can relate to post that?

and yet i watch. really because of that man and his flaring nostrils... and little glimpses of deadly pyaar.

thankfully soon there will be nothing to write. just make edits and stare at asr.
