#dev and chandni

[hum-suffer]

I love you like a dog (consumed, yours, yours)

Abhinav doesn't know what happened, but one moment he is standing in the kitchen of his house and suddenly, Dev is striding in the kitchen, dressed to the fucking nines.

Abhinav blinks.

And blinks again.

And. Fine. He knows Dev is a beautiful, attractive man. He knows it for four years, all the while sharing the flat with this beautiful man and seeing him everyday. Abhinav has seen him in all various settings. Dev in casual clothes, Dev in his night clothes, Dev in his formals, Dev in his gym clothes, Dev in traditional clothes, and on a couple memorable times— Dev shirtless. (Abhinav wants to draw him. He wishes he had enough talent to draw Dev and show the masterpiece that the man is. He knows he's not talented enough and it eats at him everyday, so he decides to use Dev as a model for his photographs for as many projects as possible.)

Abhinav raises an eyebrow. Whilst they do share the flat, they both have this unspoken agreement to not talk about their dating lives unless it's very serious. Otherwise? Things stay out of the doorway of the house unless it's the fourth date, Abhinav has practised.

Dev, though? Dev has people falling head over heels for him and that blind idiot doesn't even know half the time. Half the time, Abhinav has to let in some mooning girl or boy and watch them as they make heart eyes at Dev, who would be apologising profusely for making them wait. (Dev has never been punctual in his entire life. Abhinav finds that if it were any other person who made him wait half an hour without reasonable cause, that person would have been dead and buried. Dev smiles and Abhinav rolls his eyes and that's it. All is fine and forgiven.)

Dev blushes a bit under scrutiny. "What? Do I look bad?"

He's dressed in formal clothes and usually, that's very normal for him and his teaching job. Today, though? He's wearing a suit. The top two buttons of his white shirt are unbuttoned, and he even has a red pocket square. It makes him look positively delicious.

"You look too good to be going to teach barely eighteen year olds who will all fantasize about you while you talk about the Chola Empire." Abhi tells him, disinterestedly going back to the tea he was making. "You got a date, professor? Should I pack you an overnight bag—"

"Don't be crude," Dev admonishes, swatting at Abhi's shoulder but smiles and blushes regardless. "It's bollywood day at college today. The kids specially requested that I participate."

"Oh, are you Amitabh Bachchan from Don?" Abhinav is just shooting his shot here. Dev is a fan of old movies, and Abhi is pretty sure that Dev is wearing the most generic outfit ever, but it is only looking good because of Dev's hair and shoulders.

Dev grins smugly. "Better. I'm Vinod Khanna from Chandni."

"The one who didn't get either of the girls he fell in love with?"

Abhinav slaps a hand on his mouth as he says it and Dev hits him again, this one actually stinging a bit. Abhi shrugs. Dev glares at him, huffing as he took a bite out of the pulao Abhi had made for Dev's lunch. "Fuck you." He says with his mouth full, knowing that it's disgusting as fuck. "At least he had style. Who can pull off Juhi Chawla and Sridevi?"

"And Rishi Kapoor. I haven't seen the movie but that one song looks like they're both in love. In a weird 'no homo bro' way." Abhinav says, pouring the tea for both of them. Dev, as always, takes the first sip almost instantly and hums, closing his eyes for a moment as he savours it. He's weirdly immune from heat. Abhi sometimes thinks he's a mutant or a robot.

Or maybe an alien.

Or a fae?

He's broken out of his semi-regular train of thought when Dev snorts. "And Rishi Kapoor. Honestly, you should see the movie. The premise of the song is like the start of a Hallmark movie." He takes a Parle-G biscuit to the tea, and Abhinav waits for the moment that will come again, like everyday.

Everyday, Dev dips a biscuit in his tea. Half of the biscuit gets broken and soggy and drowns in the cup. Dev uses the rest of the half in his hand to get to the drowned biscuit. Abhinav passes him a spoon. Dev bashfully takes it. Next day, they repeat the cycle.

And it happens again, today too. Abhi laughs. "You know, you've been drowning your biscuits in your tea for four years now. Please, learn better. It's pathetic to see you struggle."

"I'll kill you in your sleep." Dev says casually, finishing the rest of his tea and grabbing his bag, which already has his water bottle and lunch, thanks to Abhi. Honestly, Abhi should be getting compensation for taking such good care of the man. A kiss wouldn't be a bad start.

Abhi cackles as he follows Dev to the door and just to be obnoxious, he loudly says,"Love you too, honey!"

Dev snorts and waves his hand as the doors of the lift close.

____________________________________________________

Dev suffers through the rest of the day as his students and his colleagues, all make wrong assumptions of his outfit. Though, almost half of them don't know that he planned to participate. This is apparently an exclusive students' thing. The teachers are always discreet, if participating.

He wonders when the college has become so...boring. The faculty of arts is supposed to be cool, damn it. And these assholes set up a seminar for the kids all over the faculty, every department. Something about art and different forms of art.

And really, if you want to celebrate art, is a seminar the right way to go about it?

"Sir, come on, the seminar will start soon, please, help me with the projector!" Bhavana ma'am calls him, her soft tone almost urgent. The woman is the age of Dev's mom and is the sweetest part of the faculty. Obviously, she's the librarian.

Dev smiles at her and nods, following her and struggling with the goddamn computer and projector. He wonders if the college has replaced the tools from back when he was a student. He doesn't think he's gonna like the answer.

Dev sighs, gets up on a ladder and fixes the projector. His phone buzzes in his pocket, the notification sounds that of a flute. Dev knows that notification tone, it's the customised tone he's set for whenever Abhinav texts. He usually doesn't text when Dev is in college, so he wonders about the sudden influx of texts.

"Wait a second, you dick." Dev mutters under his breath as he puts away the ladder. Finally, as he's away from prying eyes, he opens the texts.

The first one is a photo of him, standing on the ladder, making an ugly face and fiddling with the projector. The others are in a line.

Abhi (home): you're sure you're a teacher and not... Non teaching faculty?

Abhi (home): did i walk into the set of a bad star plus serial?

Abhi (home): should I save you? Will you stare into my eyes and try to kiss me?

Abhi (home): ew tho. clean your glasses and we'll discuss

Abhi (home): fuck i can't get caught texting gtg seeya

"What the fuck?" Dev mutters as he whips his head around to look for the spot Abhi must be at.

His phone buzzes again.

Abhi (home): who are you looking for discount Vinod Khanna?

Ooohhh who's that dick who bitches about your teaching skills?

Abhi (home): i have a bat in the car, babe, you just gotta say it. There's no cameras, no one will know

Without meaning to, Dev laughs out loud as he looks at Karan, the guy from the Fine Arts department who organised this seminar and who's the dick that Abhi is referring to. Dev is pretty sure that the seminar is Karan idea. He's a male version of Umbridge and Dev wants to strangle him, but unfortunately Karan is the deputy director of the department of fine arts. And even being the best faculty of Department of history, Dev can't afford a useless feud.

He looks around again, but he can't see Abhi anywhere.

You: Where the fuck are you? Did you come here to kill Karan?

Abhi (home): Karan, HAH. He's dead. Dw.

Do you know how to get blood stains off (jk there won't be a body, let alone blood.)

You: abhi no

Abhi (home): say that to my face before i kill this Karan and maybe I'll consider

Find me

You: give me one min

Dev turns towards the student body president of department of literature. "Raashi, hi," he smiles at her, ignoring the notification in his hand blatantly. "Do we have any Abhinav Deshmukh in this seminar?"

Raashi makes a confused face but nods. "Yes, sir, he's the speaker for photography! We have a speaker for every medium of art. Photography, poetry, writing, singing, linguistics, drawings."

Dev thanks her and rushes backstage.

And that is his idiot roommate and crush. Abhi has his back turned towards him so he doesn't know that Dev is coming. He's typing something on the phone.

Karan, who had moved to the backstage at some point and was standing across Abhinav, raises an eyebrow at Dev in disdain. Dev realises that Abhi is being purposefully rude by using his phone while Karan is trying to talk to him.

He grins.

He loved it when Abhi got petty. It is his default setting, almost. Abhi upturns his nose, sneers at the person and looks at them from beneath his eyelashes like they are the mud beneath his shoes. And when he actually does take some revenge, he smirks, runs a hand at the back of his neck and shrugs, all dainty and sweet as if he didn't ruin someone's day.

Dev has seen Angry Abhi, Passionate Abhi, Happy Abhi, Caffeine-high Abhi, Sleepy Abhi. But his favourite type of Abhi is Petty Abhi. Smug, self righteous, cocky bastard Abhi.

Karan clears his throat and glares at him when Dev hasn't yet moved again. "Dev sir, please, go and help in sitting arrangements. The volunteering students will love your company."

The sentence is barely complete but Abhi turns around nonetheless. He grins and walks up to Dev casually, his leather jacket flicking with his walk. He looks suave and Dev is stuck at the spot like a teenager watching his crush for the first time. Really, four years of staying together and Dev is always stuck by how wonderfully better Abhi is.

"Will Vinod Khanna from Chandni accept Maddy from Rang De Basanti?" Is the first thing Abhi says and that's when Dev realises that Abhi is dressed like Madhvan's character from Rang De Basanti. The leather jacket says it all.

(Dev remembers getting a crush on Maddy while watching the movie. Dev remembers yapping about it again and again and again to Abhi, who rarely ever watched any movies. The only movies he'd ever watched were the ones Dev had dragged him to see at the theaters.)

"Gladly." Dev says.

Abhi grins bashfully, looking down for a split second before looking up again. "As you should. I had to wander three places for two hours to get this specific jacket. I was on a time crunch too! Can I get a 'excellent work' wala sticker?"

The realisation that Abhi dressed as his favourite character, that he went out and worked for hours to find the exact jacket which was often the center of Dev's ramblings, that Abhi was being passive aggressive to the man who invited him to an event in the most prestigious Art college in the state. Everything, everything just made Dev want to grab him and just keep him in his arms forever.

"You look amazing, Abhi." He says, and it's true and it's one of the rare days because Abhi blushes at the compliment.

(Dev remembers the last time Abhi blushed like that. When Dev kissed him in the Truth and Dare thing. Something has been shimmering between them since then, Dev knows, but he also knows that he won't do anything to fuck up his friendship with Abhi.)

Karan makes himself known again, unfortunately. "You know Dev, Mr. Deshmukh?"

Abhi glares sharply at Karan from the corner of his eyes and a sharp intake of breath. And Dev. Dev is a weak man, okay? He's already dreamt about a domestic life with Abhi last night and really, Abhi being in his space and proudly coming to Dev and siding with him just does something to him.

"Associate professor Singh," Abhi emphasizes, still glaring,"has been my best friend for years now. He is the most wonderful men I've ever met and the only reason I agreed to come to this seminar is because I get to see him more. Do try to be more mindful of your tone, Professor." He leans in Karan's space, snarling, almost. "You are blessed to be in his presence. Do not make me take actions to make you realise the consequences of your callous actions."

Karan looks at Dev to help him. Dev is busy looking at Abhi and wondering just how he even managed to befriend such a delightful man.

Karan steps back and looks at Dev. "You called your attack dog to feel safe?"

"Shall I bite off your throat and show you how well trained I am?" Abhi snarls before Dev can say anything. The casual acceptance that Abhi is his, his, his, Dev's, moves something inside him.

Dev stretches his hand and without needing to say a word, Abhi grabs the hand and lets himself be dragged away, surely still glaring at Karan. Abhi is one of India's most famous photographers and he's allowing himself to be manhandled and dragged by a mere history professor. It's a show of his trust and confidence.

Dev lets them both into the empty library through the other door at the backstage. "Why the fuck is your auditorium connected to your library? What kind of architecture is that?" Abhi asks.

Dev shrugs, not knowing the answer himself. He stops them at what is 'his desk' when he comes to check papers for the kids of other departments and uses the library. Abhi, that fidgety man, wastes no time in climbing up and sitting on the desk. For once, Dev doesn't mind at all.

"Did you come here for me?"

For a moment, Dev thinks he could be wrong. Maybe Abhi just said that to rile up Karan. He's always been easy to anger. For a moment, Dev thinks Abhi will lie to his face. He has seen Abhi take long glances at him, seen Abhi go to extra efforts to make sure Dev is comfortable. He's seen Abhi stare at his lips.

"Yes." Abhi breathes finally, looking at his fidgeting hands. Dev stops the moments by covering the hands with one of his own.

"Did you get this jacket and dress up for me?"

"Embarrassingly enough, yes. I wanted to surprise you. Pleasantly."

"Did you just threaten an arguably influential man for me?"

Abhi rolls his eyes now. "They invited a bunch of nobodies, Dev. The whole seminar is dependent on me and me alone. For their PR, for the student satisfaction. If I tell him to name you the next Dean of the college, he will fucking have to."

"You are too nice," Abhi says, almost accusingly. Dev wants to curl into Abhi. "You may be righteous, but I can be a bitch. And I will have no regrets."

Dev falls forward and rests his head in the crook of Abhi's neck. He wraps his arms around Abhi and after a second, he feels Abhi wiggle around to get comfortable and return the hug.

"I love you so much," Dev murmurs against Abhi's skin. "Sweetest man on earth, my favourite person ever. You're everything."

He feels Abhi tense in his arms. "Doubt, sir. Is this "I want to spend the rest of my life with you" type of love or is this "you're my best friend" type of love? Imt getting mixed signals here."

Dev chuckles. "The type of love where I want to kiss you again and compliment you everyday for the rest of my life and I want to introduce you to my family as the best choice made by a member of the Singh family."

"In that case, I must admit," Abhi starts to say very seriously and pauses for a beat. Dev holds his breath. "I love you too."

Dev doesn't cuss at him but it's a near thing. He settles for swatting at Abhi's back.

"This is domestic abuse!" Abhi says indignantly.

"Not yet."

IPKKND 3 : The Arsonist and The Psychopath

Idly watching the weird third edition of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, and I came across the scene where Advay is carrying Chandni for the diya ritual, and she has her sisters spread nails with the flower petals he’s walking on.

Now considering Advay is basically an abusive obsessive arsonist, I absolutely hate him as a “romantic lead”; but I can’t help but think of the potential.

If the borderline unhinged Advay was met with a dark!Chandni who responds to his antics with her own. Who gives pain for pain, hurt for hurt, thorns for fire.

I wanted the writers to commit to the darkness and explore the pain under the evil, layer the unforgivable actions with their pasts and the tainted love that binds them in hate.

Guru Purnima: Celebs talk about the one guru mantra that changed their lives

https://gracesofa.blogspot.com/2021/07/guru-purnima-celebs-talk-about-one-guru.html

[mukhtaleef]

Awww I liked the ending! Just the two of them and Advay kissing Chandni!

It suddenly reminded me how much I dislike that in ipkknd ending Arnav and Khushi just hug each other and whole thing is so thanda!

yeh raat yeh chandini phir kahan sun ja dil ki dastan hemant kumar film ...

"Jaal" (1952) has Dev Anand ruining Geeta Bali's life simply by serenading her and his portrayal of a real villain (not in the romantic filmi sense!) is adorable.

And it's a very memorable song too.

Barun Sobti sucked me into IPKKND 3 - you can’t blame me, who can resist stubbly Sobti with beautiful hair? I have thoughts, many thoughts. 

Important thoughts: 

I think Barun did an amazing job in the show because I found it very difficult to like Advay and I love Barun. I really enjoyed watching him in the “villain” avatar! His breakdowns and vulnerable moments were also perfect, basically only watch this show if you love Barun.

Questionable (but sometimes very cute) outfits - why would the family of a mahant dress like that in Allahbad?

Hot mess thoughts:

FIRST OF ALL, HOW DO YOU BLAME A CHILD FOR THE INCIDENT? I mean...she was like what, 8? What 8-year-old will purposely spread rumors that inevitably lead to someone’s death? Why would a child lead an angry mob to her friend if she knew that they were planning to kill him? Wouldn’t any logical person (Advay is a math professor ffs!) come to the conclusion that a little girl was fed lies and told to do these things by someone - most likely her parents? The whole Chandni-must-pay-because-she-betrayed-me angle doesn’t make sense to me.

Was it supposed to be a hate story or a romantic story? They were literally playing Rabba Ve a couple of episodes in, what about hate/abuse shouts romantic?! I am not going to go on about how regressive Indian shows are because...well, they just are and we still watch them. But how are you supposed to ship a woman with her abuser, especially one who tries to set her on fire?!

I am not surprised the show only aired for a few months, you can’t make a guy as dark as Advay Singh Raizada be likeable without fleshing out the character for months so the audience can watch him grow/change. Advay was a good villain in that his backstory made you think: “okay, I totally get why this guy is so messed up” but he still felt like a villain – not the hero he needed to be in order to ship him with Chandni. With characters like Arnav and Shivaay you saw a softer side to them when they interacted with their families - this is what made them likeable even when they were huge assholes. 

“When you name your show “Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon”, I expect a love story” thoughts:

I love the premise of the show, the backstory is amazing. I would have liked to see Advay come back to ruin the Vashisht family without focusing on Chandni. if you want me to ship them, show me that Advay:

struggles to blame her because she was once his best friend

doesn’t understand her role in the incident, she was a young child and was obviously put up to it

uses Chandni to get back at the family at first but feels guilty about it

“I basically want to rewrite the show” thoughts: 

 If I were writing the show, I would keep the initial episodes and change what is mentioned above and then have a Dev-Chandni confrontation very early on.

It would make sense for the two friends (that you are supposed to ship) to confront each other and have them deal with the “my family was killed by your family” together.

I want to see that Chandni is defensive and believes the best of her family but slowly learns differently.

I want to see the conflict of liking/falling in love with someone whose parents killed yours. How do you fall in love with someone in this situation?

I want to see that Advay is still Dev when it comes to Chandni, I want him to breakdown in front of her.

I want to see the anger and hurt felt by a girl who was made to play an instrumental role in ruining her best friend’s life.

I want to see how Chandni helps Dev deal with his past and how Dev helps Chandni recover from finding out that her mother is a horrible human being.
