#rabba ve

[hand-picked-star]

I was lost in a place no one wants to be

Trying hard to convince my heart to believe

You were there all along, I just couldn't see

That there's a love in your arms that's waiting for me

Out of my head into your arm(part 1)

part-1 / part-2

[in-ankhon-ki-masti]

You cry over Snape's "Always"

I cry over Arshi's "Hamesha"

We are not the same.

Guess who dreamt up a FIC sequel full of FEELZ and ANGST and happily ever after????

Vibes:

[celesteablack]

Why is it always love at first sight and not 'dekha tenu pehli pehli baar ve, hone laga dil bekaraar ve, rabba mainu ki ho gaya dil jaaniye, haaye mainu ki ho gaya.'

The Golden Serenity

One of my favorite paintings ever!!! I just love the hair strands flowing around her face, the BLUSH and how serene her expression is, hence the name <3 (Also yayyyyy I'm back with more art lmao)

sometimes i am normal then i remember srk looking at kajol and dekha tenu pehli pehli baar ve hone laga dil bekarar ve rabba mainu ki ho gaya dil jaaniye haaye mainu ki ho gaya and i go absolutely insane

[narsistmanifesto]

musa öldü dünya, gök çınladı, mabedler yıkıldı, ateşler söndü, sonra yıldızlar. musa öldü sevgilim. birini öldürdükten sonra yüzünü rabba çevirip onun adına da af dileyen musa, çölde yardım beklerken tanrının yardım değil, yardım edilecek birilerini gönderdiği bahtsız musa öldü. vaadedilene gidemeden göçüp gitti bu dünyadan. musa öldü sevgilim. ben de öldüm. yardım dilenirken tanrıdan inatla, onun bana yolladıklarının yüzüne bile bakmadım. acıyı tuttum ve yuttum. bi rüyayı suya anlatıp sonra içtim o suyu. ölmekten başka çarem kalmadı. musa nasıl dayandı. ben kurudum da kaldım bu bolluk içinde.

happy 13 years of rabba ves!!

[intellectual6666]

"Dekha tenu pehli pehli baar ve

Hone laga dil bekarar ve

Rabba mainu ki hogaya"

Love at first sight. When you look at that one person and lose yourself. When your mind goes blank and that one face, lurks in your mind. Your heart stops for a moment just to beat even more faster. When you cannot hear what the person beside you is telling you. That feeling where you feel that Hayyeee main toh marr hi jawa thing. Love is so innocent after all. Otherwise how can someone give up their heart for someone else just with a glance ?

IPKKND INCORRECT QUOTE - (3/n)

Just another day at AR Designs.

Arnav and Aman were discussing about a deal that they had negotiated with the Khuranas' for their rich and raw cloth material. When, out of nowhere-

Arnav (zoning out) : Do you think she will really leave Delhi and return back to Lucknow?

Aman (visibly confused) : Uhh...sir, what??

Arnav : I said do you think she will really leave Delhi and move back to Lucknow?

Aman (still confused) : Who is 'she', here, sir?

Arnav (completely zoned out, a half smile sitting on his face): Wahi. Woh Khushi Kumari Gupta. (falls into another day dream of all their Rabba Ve's)

Aman (exasperated) : *sighs* Not again.

Aman (mutters to himself) : Here we go.

Aman : Did she say so ?

Arnav (still in the daydream) : Yes.

Aman : Then you need not worry, she is a woman of her words.

Arnav : But I don't want her to go. Away from me.

Aman : Ahh, that's easy. Then, go and stop her.

Arnav (eyes snapping at him at record speed) : Shut up, Aman. Do you think I am an idiot?

Aman (to himself) : No. An egoistic idiot.

Aman : Then shall we continue with our discussion about the deal, sir?

Arnav (looking away, irritated): I never interrupted you.

Aman (to himself) : No. A stupid and egoistic idiot, that too, in love.

Hehehe lol. Bechara Bitwa. So, how was it :)

1st Rabba Ve/12th Anniversary

The Heart found its beat...

Teri ankhon main dekhta hoon Khwab isqadar

to haqeeqat ki duniya kuch anjani si lagti hai

tu door hai mujh se phir bhi paas hai mere

tere hone main kuch kahani si lagti hai

Oh, his slightly opened lips, intense stare without blinking, like a statue by himself, he was caught unprepared for this sparring act of destiny. The heart skipped its beat before stopping momentarily just to make him meet his first beat after so long. 

It is an absolute human certainty that no one can perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected through the eyes of another human being.

His eyes proclaimed the possession, the passion ... A magnetic pull which held her in this silent moment without blinking ... ultimately arrested by his chocolate eyes ... molten, passionate, penetrative...

Falling in love is very real, but Arnav used to shake his head when people around him talked about soul mates,his mind was arguing over poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, he met Khushi, and everything changed; the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.

... 

Yes! Khsuhi is a kind girl jiss se dekhte hi pyar ho jaye...[ye Khushi is a girl whom u can fall for immediately]he said that later..

Rabba Ve plays for the first time, and his eyes are welcomed by his first heartbeat with a breathtaking sight of Khushi in a red sari... her hair flying in the wind. His eyes moved along her sleek body, up and down, as his eyes devoured her. He stood there stubbornly, and the lust never let him look away...Well, She is momentarily arrested too.

This is the first time Khushi feels the power of his intense feelings ... This is the first glimpse of the passion behind his anguish-filled words that Arnav ever called out to her .. she sees the side of Arnav, which is overwhelming if you ask as she feels it. Still, she is unaware of the name of it...

The heart tripped into ecstasy after falling in love. He walked forward yet looked back at her, leaving a trail of love beating with every beat in his heart.

Indeed, Love found its beat the very first time...

Happy 12th anniversary of 1st Rabba Ve...

[manishaaaaa]

It is always "you are gorgeous" and never "Dekha tenu pehli pehli baar ve hone laga dil bekar ve, rabba menu ki ho gaya dil janiyeee haye menu ki hogyaaaaaaaa"

Hello JWB! Your blog is the best!!

I recently started my 3rd rewatch of Ipkknd over the past 10 years and reading your blog alongside is so much fun! Your navigation for the blog is so meticulous. You are absolutely hilarious and reading your posts reminds me of when me and friends used to discuss the new Ipkknd episode every day on our ride to school! Good old times 🥲

I have a question for you as someone who has watched the show at different periods in her life. There are some scenes which I had a different perspective of when I was a teenage girl compared to now as woman in her 20s. For example, in my current rewatch I get so annoyed at scenes where Arnav holds Khushi hard enough to leave a mark on her arms, but when I watched the scene as a 12 year old its not something that crossed my mind as abusive (especially when they played the Oh-so-wonderful Rabba Ve over those scenes).

So are there are any scenes like that which you looked at differently over the years with age?

Hello my dear anon!

Such a brilliant question - SO MUCH HAS CHANGED with age and time.

1. Arnav and Khushi’s sangeet. I was just so happy to see them get married that I didn’t think much about it but as I grew older I just really didn’t like it. They completely wasted Akash and Payal and I never understood Mami’s over involvement in the sangeet and also… Khushi lip syncing to lyrics instead of a yes I’ll marry you and WHY IS MAMI PLAYING KHUSHI AND WHY IS AN AUNT AND NEPHEW DANCING ROMANTICALLY 😣

2. The dabba service. I actually liked it when I was younger cause the comedy made me laugh. As an adult though I’m bothered that Khushi’s decision to be financially independent does not stem from supporting her family but that she needs to return 300 rupees to Arnav? And somehow we’re supposed to think she’s highly intelligent for working at her husband’s place, through his office kitchen and that’s a … victory? Also so awkward for Arnav to publicly be demeaning of Khushi and him getting furious that she’s “insulting him” but also Khushi getting rabba ve because he enjoys her food? It’s just too regressive that anything Arnav likes about Khushi is tied to bahu duties - that is cooking great food or calling herself his wife. Also Khushi just acts so childish in general I cannot.

3. Khushi’s behavior when Arnav lost his voice. I found her irritating. She’s too childish. The fact she expects Arnav will give her a gift to thank her for having done a “great job” like WHY can this woman NOT be intelligent is beyond me. ARNAV AND KHUSHI DONE SHARE THAT RELATIONSHIP! ALSO WHY DOES SHE GO AHEAD AND SIT IN THE DRIVER’s SEAT??? IS SHE A LITERAL CHILD LIKE I NEVER DID THAT WHEN I WAS 7 MYSELF! And it’s supposed to be funny that Arnav makes her do squats in front of a police officer? That’s demeaning to a woman who’s supposed to be your wife. It’s just really not landing for me tbh.

4. Khushi as a character is very annoying post elopement because she’s reduced to a childish caricature without a hint of brain.

5. I don’t think Arnav does anything great or romantic in the 24 hours track. He has emotionally and verbally abused Khushi multiple times. The one time she tries to leave house - that too for the sake of his sister - he makes her work around for money, threatens her friends so they can’t financially assist her and then takes over her property? I don’t find this coercion romantic nor do I find it to be “ASR” style. My guy was running behind to say sorry cause he was rude to her on the day his parents died. The one day where he’s allowed to be by himself and rude because it’s a traumatic day. (I have to see Khushi’s birthday and the sexy back massage in a separate context to enjoy).

6. I’m not ok with Arnav showering gifts on Khushi after he brought her home by coercing her. I don’t like how Khushi switches into bahu mode to make Anjali happy - girl you were threatened by your husband two hours ago and you’re busy playing Mrs Raizada? - and I’ve said this before but the sudden showering of gifts felt closer to love bombing and a reward for listening to him. I know Arnav is a man of actions - a man of actions would correct his mistake. I needed somethings to be better between Arshi to enjoy this.

7. I DO NOT LIKE THEIR I LOVE YOU DAMN IT. The fact it’s preceded by a very non consensual/dubious consent suhaagraat setup and that Khushi is busy talking about rituals than actually talking about what matters is… ugh. It genuinely feels like sexual frustration and my heart felt so sad that he’s dragging her around pheras to get done with it and Khushi’s elopement was traumatic.

8. Khushi tricking Arnav to light Janmashtami diya. Arnav is an atheist, that’s just as critical as following another “religion”. Would Khushi get a Muslim man to partake in Hindu religious activities by plot? No right. Would she be appreciate being tricked into having bread and wine as that’s the flesh and blood of Christ? Nope. The fact that they show wow Khushi is amazing she brought a NON RELIGIOUS MAN to partake in a religious amazing and thus has more influence than Lavanya on Arnav grates my nerves. I’m religious, and I cannot imagine imposing it on anyone - especially not to my atheist brother.

9. This is something small but I don’t get why Khushi can’t stay over the day Anjali miscarries and when Arnav asks her to stay back. Like something majorly traumatic has happened and Khushi still has to go by what will be acceptable for Dadi? That it’s not ok for Khushi to stay over? I get it if Dadi interrupted cause she’s perfectly terrible enough to do it and Arnav then wants Khushi to leave cause he won’t be able to hear another word against Khushi and she matters more. But also this is Anjali - there’s no way Khushi is leaving the house until Anjali regains certain consciousness and stability.

These are 9 moments that I didn’t like as I grew older (I have some stuff that I didn’t like right off the bat, lol) but here are also a set of moments that I actually grew to love the older I got.

1. A lot of first half Arnav. Very well setup as an anti hero with darker shades. His opinion on marriage and relationships is actually really good and I love the scene where he calls off the arrangement for his arranged marriage cause he clearly states that this would ruin multiple lives.

2. Shyam. I thoroughly enjoy a lot of his scenes because what a villain! I love all of his “nice damad” scenes cause it perfectly establishes why none would suspect and why Payal Khushi will have a hard time telling the truth to the Raizadas cause it’s just so impossible. I also love kidnapping era Shyam cause he and Khushi have AMAZING scenes and the show remembers that Shyam is KHUSHI’s villain! He really drives the plot.

3. I really have grown to love the scene where Khushi thinks she must leave Arnav because he won’t be able to accept aarav and that’s stemming from her own orphan trauma and that when Arnav does see her leaving he’s so gentle about it. He makes her sit, addresses her concern and that Khushi just bursts into tears and hugs him and admits she doesn’t know what she is doing and I love it that Arnav cares for her and Khushi is being her most honest self. It’s so underrated and SO beautiful.

4. Heer Ranjha in a different context. Because what Arnav says is an apology and perhaps the best one in the show.

Thanks for the love,

why is it always "i fell in love with you at first sight" and never "dekha tenu pehli pehli baar ve, hone laga dil bekarar ve, rabba mainu ki ho gaya"

[desitellytales]

If there's one thing I truly appreciate in Arnav it's his ability to be in the moment, whether he hates Khushi or loves her, he does it wholeheartedly. Also the progression (idk what the correct order of the pictures should be but this still gets me) 🥺.

I have to be honest, I watched ipkknd really really late and so to me despite Arnav def being a complete asshole in the beginning he seemed like a better man than many other ITV male leads, I suppose because he was self aware of who he was as a person, he wasn't shown in a good light, we weren't asked to just go along with his jerk guy moves and the rabba ves didn't start till they actually should have, don't get me wrong, Arnav is in no way a perfect guy or close to one but the consistency of his character (save for a few tracks) is something I'm really happy with, hence the gratification for the progression in his and Khushi's relationship, I'm glad the change in him didn't come out of nowhere or overnight, it was subtle and felt real. Also I really appreciated his ability to truly understand Khushi even before the two became aware of it themselves, for reference in one of the earlier episodes when Khushi returns to the office to get Devi Mata's murti and Arnav loses his cool, I was really stunned to see him step back and feel guilty (I guess I'm just really used to male leads hurting the FLs and storming off more often than not, which is unfortunate), the way he always turned around to give Khushi privacy when her dupatta flew or got caught into something, there's honestly too many incidents to name but the point is I love ipkknd and God am I happy I finally have this blog to talk about them.

I'll try and write in a more orderly fashion from now because I have just haphazardly spilled a lot of thoughts here.
