Did I ever tell you that I am obsessed with this couple and their unique story, did I..did I? lol if it isn't evident I am in LOVE with this these two who trying to find love within each other. More than any romantic dances, any physical intimacy and/or grand gestures, their emotional conversations make my heart flutter.
I do not have words that could justify the beauty of the little scene between Raman and Ishita in their bedroom, so simple and yet so beautiful. A lot was said and conveyed in that scene very subtly; Raman said, We should protect our loved one's insecurities and not share it with everyone'. How beautiful and simple, a SIL guarding his FIL's image and self respect by not mentioning the financial crisis to anyone and fixing the problem without anyone knowing.
Ishita felt like she failed as a daughter because she could not read her father and sense his trouble, so very poignant and true, we often get so involved in our own lives and problems that we tend to forget our loved ones. The beauty of this scene was how Raman dealt with her guilt and made her feel comfortable, he said, isn't your appa my appa', with a simple statement he declared that they are a team! So what if she was preoccupied with her life and could not sense Appa's trouble because he was there to fill that void like she fills a lot of voids in his life. So many feels!
Puttar is so cute! He knew the missus is stressed and so he asked her to spill the beans, he did not belittle her concern but made her feel secure by reaffirming her love for Ruhi and Ruhi's love for her Ishima. The most endearing part for me was when he joked about the jealously and neglect he feels when he sees the love between Ishita and Ruhi, I found it so cute and romantic, a husband asking for his wife's undivided attention and almost wishing he would be babied and coddled like his daughter is.
There is a song called Labon se from the movie Astha penned by Gulzar saab, in which he outlines a man who has been roaming around this planet trying to find solace 'therav' in hindi but he couldn't find any until he met his beloved. He is pleading with her to kiss him with her lips and hold him with her eyes, aakhon se tham lo-I cannot translate this brilliance in English any better than this. This is about a man being a wandering soul for ages till he is in the arms of his beloved. In that song he further states that he is so enamored by his beloved's love that he sometimes wished that he taken birth from her existence because there is nothing purer than a mother-child relationship. I apologize for making it sound incestuous because it isn't, I can't do justice to Gulzar saab's work and in the process of explaining his lyrics I butcher the meaning. Below are two lines that from the song that I referenced here.
Labo se chum lo aankhon se tham lo mujhko
tumhi se janmu toh shayad mujhe panaah mile
Raman's expression of a little jealousy is the biggest compliment to Ishita's love because he is so enamored by the love she has for him that he cannot fathom what would it be like to actually experience love from Ishita the mother. This was the most loving part of the episode for me. If you can't tell I have listened to Labon se chim lo song a zillion times already and when I get into Gulzar saab world I tend to lose my self so I have lost my train of thought and hence must end my rambling here.
Sorry couldn't comment on their date, and Ruhi-Shagun fiasco as my hands hurt and my brain is fried.
