Colors of the rainbow...happiness 

Color can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas through these.Tody's epi is reflecting all the colors of emotions as spring is in the air.

Khushi sleeping under the stars , under her Amma ,Babuji's protection along with DM is talking in her sanka mode. "uthja khushi aaj holi hai... kitna kuchh karna hai," get up khushi today is holi... there's so much to do.she talks away and that wakes him up.

I loved her innocence and her attitude to find happiness in the small things and she always leaves a window of happiness here and there ,here comes Arnav's leaving window a bit down in the pag phere episode and today he is joining her in this happiness unintentionally. Arnav was inside sleeping but got up hearing Khushi's talking in her sleep.The door was not fully closed today ,loved that touch. He is touching the happiness which is peeping through the door and knocking his sleeping heart and he doesn't have a clue either. When Khushi decided the colors for everyone and the moment she said "yellow", his lips automatically had spread that smile all the way through his eyes to his soul.
"hamara rang hoga.. peela" [my color will be yellow].

Smile just intertwines him with the spell of smile on her lips which gives him peace...he melts seeing that smile after a long time. 

"holi hai!" she wakes up happily by forgetting all the sufferings and anguish.He tries to go back to sleep after releasing a very husky "paagal"..crazy hai but cute hai...is settling here.

 Khushi is one of those who create happiness around em and today she created it around Arnav who just followed it totally being unaware of it.

The colors were chosen so wonderfully. For Amma 'Bauji, its green which signifies life,nature and peace as parents provide a natural peace within, for Buaji, it's Orange, a strong emotional color entangling with love and hate both with it. Then comes Payal, it's blue , which signifies calmness, trust,and loyality and she was wearing blue too. Khushi really knows her family in and out even in sleep. Here comes DM's red color. Red,a strong physical need basically associated with masculine energy. It signifies action and confidence and provides a sense of protection as n Sindoor. Then comes yellow, our Khushi's color, just like her it signifies optimism, just like her it spreads happiness and sparks creative thoughts.Black for Arnav,which gives protection from external emotional stress. It creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities.

Love how CVs has defined all characters with these colors.

 

Arnav's shut up couldn't stop the childish Khushi who was rambling in her monlogues  in the excitement of Holi.A curious Arnav wants to know who she's been talking to. Khushi  answers rudely as she didn't like being interrupted,  'With Herself '...

"Pagal ho gayi ho kya?"Arnav's annoyance changes into mild smile when Khushi informs him that she's been crazy since her childhood.The craziness that he is in love with but Poor guy's heart skipped a beat to know the selection  of color she made for him.. "aap ke liye rang chunne mein bilkul bhi waqt nahin laga, aap ko pata hai kaunsa?... kala." [It took me time to choose a color for you, she teases,you know which, black.] Khushi runs away while telling him the color as she knows that it will enrage him.He jumps up from his bed to get his crazy wife.His feet stopped yet his desirous eyes couldn't stop from urge to hold her ...hold her so close as always...

 Again it showed their understanding level in between em. A future sign too that Khushi's attraction is too compelling for him.

 

  

Anjali , who is just a pawn for Shyam did provide a valuable piece of information to heat up the obsession in her husband for Khushi that Naniji and her always wanted ARSHI together.That triggered a chain of unethical thoughts of lust to be the first one to apply the "gulal " on her.Red color  which signifies sindoor.But he is taking this oath right in front of DM and her Diya the fire of which just purifies her devotees.How can she let this happen as Fire is inside the Diya...[love this well thought shot]...because that Diya with Fire is a wall in between him and Khushi and that represents our dragon, Arnav to vanquish his plans.

 

  

Loved Naniji ,protecting the sisters from Maami's bitterness..She might be angry yet her affection for Khushi still exists and she will not allow anyone ruin that. Her laughter when Khushi tries to pacify her with her innocence and  Anjali's acceptance   showed that  Spring is coming back and she is indeed Buaji's Titliya spreading colors of joy. 

Loved the act of independent and self respected Khushi who wants to pay the bill of colors from  her piggy bank as she stops Payal getting money  from Akash too. Khushi goes in her room and finds out that she is short of money .This is what I liked , she didn't ask anyone but Arnav... No such hesitance, remorse or shame asking him for that...Well thought.!!!..She stops him , very authoritatively but still shows him that she still doesn't take him for granted or think of him as her own but she shows the feeling of her right on him and the most important that she knows he is there to take care of her, her needs.Indeed this self respect and self reliance Khushi will make him crazy...

A poignant moment when a scatter brained  Khushi breaks her Piggy bank  and rolls all of her coins under the bed..Khushi bends down to collect em when Arnav comes in keeping his eyes on his file and lands his feet on the broken pieces of piggy bank.He sees Khushi and assumes she is hiding from him after losing the challenge.Love the way  he comes to her level and Seeing her under the bed exposing her vulnerable skull brings out his protective nature and  he immediately places his hand covering her head from the edge of the bed.That shows his protective hand , a promise he gave during hospital incident will always be there for Khushi in every danger even when she places herself in .

Pondering connected dots:He gave her strength that day in the hospital by removing her distress, [hospital bills].Today he is doing it again unintentionally , he took care for her Dad that day and this time he also took care for her sister's happiness.   

As I said her proximity is way too compelling for him to resist and very same is for her... Shyam was behind The Hospital incident which brought these two together and today again he will be the reason to reduce the bitterness in between em.

 

I guess that's why it's been said "sometimes we understand each other better when we stay together".Khushi will slowly realize Arnav's genuine feelings and in turn will eventually connect the dots together to decode this hidden game of triquetra.

                  

Khushi breaks the spell and he turns his face to hide his vulnerability as usual.She thinks he doing it out of an act but there is no one here besides them and he turns the table calling her mental who bangs her head for no reason every where and in every business...hmmm. You don't want her to stretch to find the truth or just challenging her but either way she is doing all for her Jiji's first Holi just like you re doing for your Di...two duffers...uhhh

Khushi has started to bring color in her relations with her Dm, and she gives her the color "gulal" and then sweets ...her Jalaibis and DM is the only one who is safe guarding her sweet child's Sindoor from all the storms and complications. She is making her PROTECTOT, her HORUS ready for her to vanquish the demons within

Love the last scene where the rising cinders of lava is heating up in boys.I must say Shyam's lustful obsession is crossing all the limits as he is forcing him upon Khushi and I didn't feel right , how come his wife Anjali even didn't stop him from doing so as she is one who said "it's Khushi's first Holi" so this is her hubby's responsibility to put Gulal on her , not Shyam. He failed but his  intention heard and seen by Arnav . He is the one who brings t Arnav and Khushi closer in the name of Gulal...the color of Sindoor...
