diwali oh diwali

 

why are you doing this to me on a march morning?
















not the best of gifs, but the best of jodis nevertheless.



what was the matlab, the meanin, of the madness it unleashed on me? it... them... a tv show... easy to say it means nothing, yet, even now, after more almost ten years, when i see this, i watch the jerky motion of the gif, i am trying to lip read, my insides are clenched, my heartbeat is skipping. no matlab, right?

kahani again 277




my longing, my story, my reach and beyond, come... 



to hold a dream in my hands and never let go... to believe...



come hold me never leave tell me again the story... of our lives of our love of things i've never known.



stay in my heart, stay in my gaze, stay in the corners of darkness and shimmer, love.




percolating every moment, permeating, penetrating getting embedded... oh that need that right that coming together.

beyond a boundary, into another realm





"khushi!" he called out, she turned around instantly to answer him. and so started a conversation of a kind we'd perhaps never seen before. certainly not in a tv show. a chat between lovers across distance, aided not by modern technology but by the ancient knowhow of the body and the mind... and yes, the heart. a telepathic conversation shook viewers out of complacence on 18/19 june 2012. asr and khushi spoke to each other, while he sat in captivity and she by the poolside under the stars. seemed the stars too had aided and abetted this daring adventure. some were elated, others openly scoffed. telepathy? oh come on, these things don't happen. the cvs seem to have lost it completely. there were sniggers and giggles in many quarters. and yet, something about that conversation felt beautifully real, plausible, possible... desirable. but then this sensing of each other had been there from the very start... in the synchronised opening and closing of asr and khushi's eyes in that very first episode surely an idea had begun... and now came its fullest expression. still, it was a brave move by writers. might have looked ridiculous, but they knew they had actors who'd pull it off brilliantly. and, oh yes, they certainly did. our five senses were once aroused by teri meri, now soon once more it will come to arouse, this time crossing a boundary... so we may reach for our sense number six and enter a chat that perhaps only lovers can have.


wrote this on the anchor post of blast from the past thread 26 on india-forums, a note on teri meri.
