IP REDUX; Mere Jeevan saathi !! - Page 2

ME:

I loved ME for the simply things they showed...Arnav realizing that it was Khushi's birthday and getting scolded by Buaji for forgetting his wife's birthday...shows the comfort level Arnav and Guptas have around each other...the apnaapan he feels there...when he is at GH he is the son more than son-in-law..he is more open and more at ease...be it manaoing Buaji or helping her and Garimaji...what a contrast with when he is at RM..At RM he is the Man of the house and hence has responsibilities to shoulder, decisions to make...so he is closed, reserved and totally in control!!!

Buaji's line to Arnav "Wah Babuwa, Humra Dil jeet liye" well indication that this mutual love and respect between Arnav and Guptas will be needed when the Contract Marriage thingy will come out in open!!!😉

Thru out the episode there was the mention on "Happy Singh" in the background...Happy days ahead?? Yeh toh waqt hi bataayega!!!

Monday's episode:

For me Monday episode underlined the difference between Khushi and Anjali...one puts everyone wishes over her own...she is happy as long as people around her is happy...true to her name...she is so selfless that she never bothers abt her own happiness...its always abt the people she loves the most... a girl with a golden heart...she didn't feel bad that her gifted flowers went to someone else...she was happy coz Arnav gave those flowers to Di just to make her smile/happy and we could see Khushi's pride and happiness in Arnav for doing something like that!!

&

One the other side there is one woman for whom everything boils down to HER Hubby, HER Bro, HER family, HER loneliness, HER PAIN, HER life, HER khushi...she has been like this since the beginning and somewhere her past and the people around her is very much responsible for this...it's becoming more prominent after the recent big reality check...she is in denial now...and it will take time for her to finally accept it...as of now I can sympathize with her...her hubby and her bro are her pillars and with one gone its quite natural for her to lean more heavily on the one left...but in all her agony she forgot that her Chote is someone's husband too...rite now she is feeling betrayed and left out which is quite acceptable considering her state of mind and condition. She needs to see/hear the truth with her own eyes/ears to accept it!!!

Loved the cake-cutting scene...minus the comedy waala BG score...the scene was intense and passionate so the comedy BG didn't go with the scene!!!!

Tuesday's episode:

I just loved first few mins of the episode...for me it was the best scene in yday's episode...scene wise it was too good, superb camera work...it showed Khushi peacefully sleeping on the bed while Arnav stood watching, guarding her while she sleeps...the tears and pain in his eyes for not able to open up to His Khushi was very much evident...he then slowly lowered himself and sat next to her...his eyes full of love, adoration and sadness...he wished her and kissed her forehead as if sealing his wish!!!

WOW wat a change in ASR...who would have thought that the Mighty ASR who never wished anyone in his life will break his own rule for this one girl...HIS KHUSHI!!!

Khushi accepted that gesture with her whole heart but pretended to sleep...with Arnav shown moving away...is that another indication that there is separation coming their way??? Maybe...Maybe Not. Time will tell.

Barun are simply outstanding here!!!👏

These days I am loving Arnav-NK Bromance more and more...these two never fail to bring a smile to my face!!😃

Now coming to Khushi giving cold-shoulders to Arnav...her anger and frustration is justified...n I understand where she is coming from... she is frustrated with Arnav for not opening up and keeping things unsaid or incomplete...I know many will say that words are not that important...wat matters more are the feelings/emotions behind those words or gestures...totally agree...but u know wat? sometimes we do need the words that can touch our heart and very soul especially when it comes from that one special person who is the most important person in our lives!!!

Kuch bhi ho SHE LOVES HIM and HE KNOWS THIS but both can be stubborn like anything. Isiliye bhugtoh!!😆

ASR, one suggestion...u said Di and Khushi are two most important people in your life...right? then why this handing one at a time?  Try to learn how to balance... i.e. being a brother and husband...for ur own good!!!😉

Wednesday's episode:

So that Wifey manao abhiyaan continues with Arnav getting maat yet again from Khushi but Arnav not really to accept defeat ...didna tell these two can be stubborn!!!😆

Khushi's monologue: Haaye thank God for small mercies😳...I feel this is one of reason viewers sometime fail to connect with Khushi...coz they just can't understand what is going on in her head/heart or why???? Many a times her actions confuse viewers...Hope CVs take better care of this!!

Today Khushi got a small yet valuable lesson that even if ur intentions are good ur actions needn't solve the problems in others' life and result in their happiness...thanks a lot Payal...u r one true sister who will guide and help ur little sis always...and next time ur sis repeats the same ek chapaat will do the trick!!!

Payal, one suggestion...we want ur GH waala avatar who had the guts to put the Mighty ASR in his place when he hurt your baby sis...u were a tigress that day so don't get bullied by anyone now.. SPEAK UP and FIGHT for your rights!!!⭐️

P.S: Dunno how I always end up writing such a long post😳😆

Wasn't feeling sleepy so updated my post...now will go to sleep😳😛

Sharmi😊

Last couple of days I had some unanswered questions and decided not to write.  Firstly, I wanted better ideas to relate to Anjali's current state and next, Khushi's behavior puzzled me; did she just want Arnav to verbalize Birthday wishes or is there more to her story.  Thanks to Kopal's post, by brain was kick-started at least in Anjali's case.  So, here it comes.

Anjali Manohar Jha -  When I read Kopal's post of princess in a tower whom family is trying to protect from harsh realities,  things started falling into place slowly; thank you so much Kopal.  So, whom did she remind me of?  It's none other than Siddhartha's childhood;  Siddhartha, who later became the enlightened Gautama Buddha.  No, don't worry, I'm not comparing the characters, but Siddhartha's childhood somewhat reminds me of Anjali's life.

When Siddhartha was born, the priests tell his father, King Suddhodhana that either his son will become a great emperor or will turn his back on all material things and become a spiritual leader.  The frightened father who thinks if his son watches all the suffering around him will end up being a spiritual person, tried his best to remove every trace of unhappiness and sadness around his child.  Siddhartha was very sheltered from all the harshness around him.  He was almost held like a prisoner in the palace and had no clue about the realities of life.  But, life has its own ways of bringing in changes.  One fine day when he goes on an outing, he sees a really old man suffering (by this time all the old and sick people are sent away from the place, but one person remains) and from there starts his internal spiritual journey.

Anjali too in many ways has been sheltered by her family, all her wishes are granted, she's the queen bee in the Raizada Mansion and anything that's outside her happy world is a big NO NO and will be fixed right away.  Did her family help her realize that she's in a dream world or were they trying to just protect and molly coddle her?  Look at the state she's in today.  She is unable to accept the reality that her husband whom she thinks she loves, can commit such horrible deeds.  She repeatedly asks nani what is the truth, whom to believe and is becoming hysterical.  Until she removes the blindfold and sees Shyam for what he truly is, she'll be in her ignorant state, just as Siddhartha was.

In the book Gautama, by Deepak Chopra, an interesting character called 'mara' is introduced who preys on people's fears and insecurities and tries to tempt them with their hidden attachments.  This fictional character Mara, always reminded me of human mind, which pretty much tempts us, increases our fears, makes us feel less than what we are. 

In Anjali's case, her mind (mara) is constantly tempting her with the good thoughts about Shyam, how he took care of her, how they shared moments about their child to be born etc.; the other side of Shyam is completely hidden.  It's also preying on her insecurities of lack of support from Chote and keeps replaying the scene where chote dragged shyam out, whom she was completely dependent upon.  Only when she gets out of this illusory world, will she be able to see things clearly.

Khushi Kumari Gupta (Singh Raizada) ' Several things have been clarified today about Khushi's stance towards Arnav.  We now know that she's not happy because the rest of the family is unhappy.  Also, Arnav blamed her for being responsible for the current state of affairs and later apologized.  She herself agreed with him and does not bear a grudge, but he hurt her very badly with his words and she's unable to forget.  How easily he forgot all that happened and put the entire blame on her?  Also, what's the guarantee that Arnav will never hurt her with these same words again in the future, if something were to happen to his Di?  Won't these questions be running through her mind?  How can she be happy when her mind is not at peace?

Have a simple question'. what happens to important unfinished business that you ignore.  Sometimes it comes back to bite you big time.  This is what at least some of us have experienced personally.  The 6 month contract is still hanging like a noose around Khushi's neck.  Her husband who's so bent upon pleasing her, bringing a smile back on her face and doing everything in his power, isn't he the same one who brought up the contract and blackmailed her to get her to stay?  Yes, he promised himself that he'll do whatever it takes to make her his, but is she aware of it? No.  Will it be a surprise if this problem too is running through her mind?  Until this unfinished business is settled between them, no, she will not be happy and she'll not feel like his wife either (that's why I put her name as KKG and included SR in parenthesis😊) and whose fault is this, Arnav's, though his intentions were otherwise.  Let's see how he makes it up to her.

Khushi said 'Kuch cheesen kabhi nahin badal sakti', does she mean the love-hate relationship between Arnav and her?  I think not.  Where love exists, there cannot be hatred.  Could she mean that the past cannot be changed and Shyam may not change? Possible. She could also mean that ASR in Arnav will exist and his whole persona may not change completely?  Maybe, but this does not mean there'll be hatred between them.

'Lekin kuch cheesen toh budli jaa sakti hain' ' Hoping for bright future for Payash and Arshi and with a cooperating mami (cooperating being the key word😆).  Also, Di's life in the future with her child.

Arnav Singh Raizada's character is confusing me these days.  I'll sleep on it and see if any bright ideas come up tomorrow morning.

NOTE: Heartfelt thanks to all those who read my posts.

The winds of change are blowing into the Raizada Mansion. There is a monumental shift in the personalities of a certain Mr. and Mrs. ASR.
