I think the title of today's story tells it all? Should I bother? :-) Er, KS saunters across to Khanna House in the dead of the night when she should be asleep and finds out that AK's been kicked out of his own (oh! her own) house, then she randomly gets chased by The Thug, gets randomly saved by Prithvi, spills all her troubles onto Daadi's shoulder who gives her near-EVIL advice that KS should ignore trying to get together with AK, but that she should share her newfound knowledge with Prithvi. Hmmm. Okay, so who's kidnapped all the responsible KYPH writers??! :-( Onto the show.
(Warning: I had no brain in the second half of the show today and am probably telling you an entirely wrong story!)
The first set opens with Prithvi bringing in a demo tape to KS' bedroom. She is to hear it and then give it back to him. Something about the stillness of the room makes him pause and check the bed. She is missing. He is instantly upset: where the hell is she? Cut to:
KS' car driving up to Khanna House. She knows it's late, she knows it's troublesome to confront her old enemies, but she needs to know that AK is alright.
Within the house, Naina is weeping up a storm, partly out of worry for her darling boy, partly out of frustrated hatred for KS. Kunning Karthik is finding it hard to keep up his Karing front with Mom so obviously stressing out about AK. They are startled to see KS come in, as bold as brass, and stand in their face. Naina's hatred of KS has her snarling at KS: How DARE she show her face in this house?
(Okay, reality check, folks: did, or did not KS, actually pay the debts on that house? Did she or did she not give them the house to dwell in for free? Does that or does that not make it her house? Or am I just being too rational here?)
There is much snarling that happens, mostly from the Khanna end. However, in the end, KS finds out that AK's left the house, that he is never coming back. She leaves with the famous Khanna-farewell following her "Get out! And never come here again!"
Karthik follows her, chanting the Khanna-farewell all the way. But at the door, Kunning Karthik becomes Konfessional: _HE_ is the one who Kicked AK out of the house. He was sick of AK and he threw little AK out of Khanna House, just as he is now throwing KS out of the house. KS is shocked: you threw your own little, Kute, lovely-cheekboned, puppy-dog-eyed, bear-Kub-like brother out of his own house?! You are Kontemptible, Karthik!
(Kough, Kough!! Kough, kough, cough, cough! Okay, I think I've got all my "c"s back in place...)
The second set starts with KS doing an AK on the streets! (Well, she's not drunk like he inevitably is, but she is staggering as if she had downed an entire bottle of Scotch.) She staggers past her car with the driver sleeping peacefull inside; past streets populated with people, populated with cars, and on and on she goes; past streets that become little lanes, with no people, no cars, not even a dog or cat. She is quite pre-occupied, for all the while, Josh's tales of what AK did for her turn round and round in her mind. Since that was quite a lovely scene, I don't blame her for being so involved, and I could understand that she could've easily gone on for quite a while longer, except that ... (ta, tada!)
A thug van stops right in front of her! With The Thug in it! Both of them look completely disbelievingly at each other, probably mirroring the expression of every single soul watching the show tonight! Now how likely is _that_!??! But they seem to recover sooner than I did. KS turns on her heels and starts running down the street. The thug van is actually a bullock cart in disguise, because the thug doesn't manage to keep up with her!
(And we all thought that Indian make-up artists weren't world class -- this disguise had _me_ fooled!)
After pounding completely empty streets without the thug van catching up, KS gets a brainwave and decides to dash into the shrubs on the side. Thug gives up on his bullock van and decides to dash after her. By this time, my brain must've shut down my eyes coordinating with my retina and I must've gone blind, because I think that I saw snakes -- a cobra! -- in the woods that she was running in! She runs and she runs into increasingly deepening, darkening woods and then ducks behind a rock wall to catch her breath. That breath is slow to come, slower than the shadowy figure that we see behind her shoulder. Then a hand comes to grab her shoulder, she loses all the breath she has caught, as she swivels to see .. (ta ta ta tada!) .. Prithvi, who is full of breath! Now, how likely is _that_??!! And with him are two cops, no less, who are also peacefully full of breath. (All together now: Now, how likely is _that_??!!)
Since KS has been robbed of all the breath, she does the only thing she can do and faints into Prithvi's arms. Since I was sitting on my sofa, I could faint peacefully onto my cushions. Unfortunately I revived in time for...
The third set, which begins with the doctor checking out a sleeping KS, while a worried Prithvi hovers. The doctor hands over a prescription and leaves. Prithvi and Daadi, who is also there, are very perturbed. Prithvi has to run off to the cop station, and doesn't want to leave KS alone. Daadi chides him not to be silly, and to run off and do the manly talk-with-the-cops routine and trust her to be with KS when she awakes.
KS in sleep does what she does when she is awake: think of AK. Except that these are scenes where she has been mean and uncaring about him: not listening to him at Josh's place, shouting at him after he saved her from the dropping chandalier, slapping him for Josh's nonappearance at her concert. The remorse is too much even for her sleeping brain, and she wakes up crying "Angad!"
Daadi is instantly awake: what is troubling KS? what has AK said to her now? And KS collapses under the weight of her sadness. She explains everything to Daadi.
Unlike her usual self, Daadi _sucked_ today! In her characterisation, in her expressions, in her advice to KS, everything. >:-( On one hand, she agreed that they (KS and Daadi) had wronged AK in not giving him a chance; in having judged him peremptorily. On the other hand, she thought that AK had contributed to the misunderstanding too. Then she hopped to the first hand, where she was blaming herself and KS. And back again to the AK-has-blame hand? It was all quite confusing. The coup-de-grace came when she finished that ping-pong thought game with writing off the AK&KS story! What it sounded like (my Hindi's not too good, and my brain was still sluggish from struggling to overcome the sight of the magnificently disguised bullock cart) was Daadi saying that the AK&KS truth has been very badly damaged and destroyed. And that KS should not spoil the new and "beautiful" KS&Beetle-Browed-Gnarly-Gnome-Prithvi relationship and she should tell BBGGPrithvi what she had learnt about AK and his deeds. KS' face is a picture of puzzlement and horror.
Thankfully, the show came to an end here.
Preview for next week: More brain-dead situations coming up, people! KS, pretty in red, sitting on her bed, apologising to AK, recorded on a tape. She dumps the tape onto her bedside table and trots off for a bath. In comes Prithvi who takes what he thinks is KS' demo-tape and trots off to who-knows/cares-where. Out trots KS from her bath session, discovers missing tape and gets horror-struck.
(Someone please let me off this carousel; I'm feeling sick. Here's my opinion, put together with whatever remanents of brain I have left:
* There was no AK today and it sucked!
* The old KYPH writers have been kidnapped and the producers are writing the script instead! Someone PLEASE pay up the ransom and get them back. This is the question of having all KYPH viewers brains exploding in disbelief, and that would be a tragedy of monumental proportions!
* There was ONE cute touch in the episode: the driver fast asleep in the car when KS comes out of the Khanna house. That is soooo true, all the time, it actually got a grin out of me! :-)
Quick! Whoever wrote that scene, give that person the position of KYPH writer and give all responsibility to her. )
