with those words invoking the ultimate consciousness began the most dabangg serial of our times, to borrow a word from the universe's very first crooner.
on 13 february 2012, honeypriya wrote her synopsis on the episode she'd just seen, she'd loved the whole shebang, she named her post as you see above and put it up on india-forums in the iss pyaar ko kya naam doon pages.
today, on 14 july 2012 we are all getting ready for crooner 100. and honeypriya is the our most favourite priya in the whole wide world.
"arnav singh raizada ka nishana kabhi nahin chookta."
the first words spoken by the man who'd leave us dizzy and unconscious.
100. because priya's crooners never ever missed the mark. and more and more phangurrls just fell in love with it. the crooners kept coming. i visited the first time on a bleak day when it looked like even chanting "hey devi maiyya" a million times wouldn't restore heavenliness to iss pyaar ko. as i read through i started to grin. i turned the pages and was astounded by the giggle, chatter, ribbing, cribbing, analysis, no paralysis, and cool i found there. that was crooner 53 - cough cough. by crooner 73: messages... do peep in, i was addicted, no other word for it.
she said: hum tab se sabko samjhane ki koshish kar rahein hain ki humey kuch nahin pata, hum yahan galati se aa gaye the, dekhiye please humey ghar jane dijiye... humey... humey bahut der ho rahi hai.
he said: jawab de do, aur chali jao.
many of us might have come here by chance or even galati a la miss khushi kumari gupta on that magical day they met, but now, even if priya says "chali jao," we're here to stay. can't imagine my day without quick dashes to the latest crooner. office, bus, home, restaurant, i take my crooner along with me everywhere; thanks to my other ultimate man mr steve jobs's little creation, the iphone.
"pehle do kadam chalna seekho, phir mooh kholna," thus spake the suited man in a temple.
priya, i have no idea where you learnt to take your do kadam in thinking, analysing, putting your thoughts cogently together, and writing. or how you do it so consistently five days a week. this week it will be six days, right? but you do it with such aplomb and energy, i am floored. if i kholo my mooh, it is only to praise.
"har kaam tum khud nahi kar sakti."
"haan, hum kar saktey hain, bilkul kar saktey hain."
"tum theek ho?"
what has been really wonderful about crooner and its maker, is the extreme generosity and welcome extended to all here. here's a pretty rare space where everyone is free to share their thoughts without any fear of being ridiculed, there's no pressure to conform, and everyone is of equal importance. all phangurrls are created equal, 23 or 52, tall slim and fair or short dumpy and curly haired, engineer, doctor, trader, it czar, housewife, secretary, dancer, cook, whatever. oh, we are still looking for a lawyer, anyone out there? priya, i love the fact that you instinctively understood that more the contributors, more the fun, cool, and value of crooner. there's no need to do everything by yourself. but you do the most important thing. you lead the thought and prod us into thinking madly.
"ar-nav-ji?"
"hmm?"
thank you also for giving us a space to swoon over the boy. within crooner guidelines of course. 😳
"waise achha hua mein gaya... pata to chala ki mujhe kitna miss kiya jata hai."
i often feel, one day we'll really get to appreciate the value of this thread. pata chalega how significant all these crazy conversations have been. it will likely become vibrant and invaluable material for research in communications, new media, the contemporary woman, her new cadence, her new confidence in discussing men, oh many subjects. and why one day? today itself i read discussions on how crooner was influencing the choices of a certain gh and his team. way to go, dear priya.
congratulations, mazal tov, badhai ho, dear dear priya on your 100th baby. may your crooners remain strong, happy, healthy, and always ready to roll.
you have immensely added to my enjoyment of iss pyaar ko kya naam doon.
i will leave you with a few words that make all of us smile.
"what if i lost you?"
"farq padta hai, kyonki..!"
"dekhiye yeh hamari awaaz nahin hai.""matlab haan, hamare naam mein bhi 'a' hai... khushi kumaaari guptaaa - aaa."
"hamara dupatta chhoriye."
"kyon?"
"jo main karoonga, kya tum wo kar paaogi?... lagi shart?"
"mujhe is duniya se koi matlab nahin, meri asli duniya to aap ho."
"bas! jab hum kono decijan le levat hai, to hum apni bhi nahin sunat hain."
"khushi, kya kiya tumhare mangetar ne? did he try to hurt you?"
"ham drama nahin kar rahein hain, dhaga humey zabardasti thamna pada, humari marzi nahin thi lekin ab jo bandh diya hai to..."
still my favourite
"jab tum mere pas hoti ho, to tumhare dil ki dhadkano ke saath saath, meri dil ki dhadkaney bhi tez ho jaate hain... humari dhakaney... ek ho jaate hain. jo tum mehsoos karti ho, wo main mehsoos karta hoon... humari dhadkane ek ho jaate hain.
and with that
hello hi bye bye
- IndiA big big BIGGG Congratulations to everyone for successfully completing a century!! 😃 Crooner is now my virtual home away from home. I joined in quite late after the half century of crooner. But journey from then has been wonderful. Thank you everyone for welcoming me with so much warmth.. Its sheer joy to come here everyday and share your thoughts. From sharing such in-depth knowledge to having fultoo phan gurlism moments... This place has it all. And I'm proud to be a part of it. IPK has been such a craze from the beginning... But that craze has multiplied infinite folds due to Crooner. We love, we hate... We criticize, we praise... We laugh, we cry... For the show, with each other. The fun just increases tremendously. Don't have much words to describe the feeling... But I'm very happy to be a part of something which makes life more enjoyable and watching the show more fun. Hope to see Crooner marking a double century in future.. I would not want to think of it not being there the next morning I wake up.. Love you all and this place very much.. Let the celebrations begin

My journey with the crooner:
I was a silent reader of every crooner since the start, just one comment now n then till like two months ago! I hated reading long posts n also writing one! But one day accidentally started reading all the comments on the crooner n had so much fun that I started posting more than one comment on the crooner! N I remember the day I broke that record in the crooner no 74!!! From then on I became a frequent visitor, only few comments then too but after the anniversary celebrations of IPKKND, I'm on the crooner completely, almost 24X7!!!!
It may sound that I'm exaggerating everything, but believe me I've turned a complete optimist!! The positivity we have in the crooner, it made me think positively in each n every aspect of my life!!!
I feel so proud to be the part of the crooners!! I met many wonderful here- Priya di, Chotey ji, Anu di, Shweta di, Soni di, Beena di, Archu di, Indi di, Khushi di, Anjali di, Nishi di, Suvi di, Suba di, Sri di, Sanju, Shivani di, Gandhari di, Avni di, Sej di, Sudha di, riti, sorry if I missed any names!!😒 I know I'm very bad at this one but still trying to write something!!😳
Adha Adha aapse seekha
Positive rehna ka tareeka
Timepass aap nahi, meri aadat hai aap
I love u all!!!!! 🤗 🤗 🤗
(Adha coz the remaining adha i learnt from my engineering life!!😆)
Thank you Priya di for creating the parallel world called crooner!! N everyone else for accepting me as one of the phangurlss!!!🤗 Hope the crooner completes more centuries!!!! Party time now!!!!! 🥳 🥳🥳 🥳

Priya,
The beauty of life is that sometimes, when it's in an exceptionally good mood, it presents you with unexpected little drops of joy as a beautiful surprise. Joys that you didn't know existed but soon becomes an integral part of your life.
Your Crooner is one such lovely surprise that life gave me' completely unexpected but such a magnificent gift! And today, on this very special day for all your crooner buddies and I hope, also for you my Queen Bee'I wanted to share with you how I embarked on this wonderful journey of finding friends and sharing mind and a little bit of the heart.
I was a silent reader on this forum for a quite some time, trying to find a place that appealed to my sensibilities. Then one very fine day, I stumbled upon your crooner and was amazed by the quality of the post, the intelligent discussions and the camaraderie between the members. It was such a lovely place in this vast forum that I was hooked.. a silent reader of your post and mostly stuck to the 'Like' Button.
It was one such exceptional crooner & episode, that I couldn't help myself and clicked on "Reply Post' Button. I still remember writing, that the lovely crooner made me want to croon a little today J!
Then after 2 posts on 2 consecutive Crooners and an introduction to you and Anjali..I couldn't trace the crooner for a couple of days. And I searched, looking for a glimpse, an peek into that experience of reading intelligent & thoughtful insights laced with a smile & positivity.
May the good Lord bless Anjali forever (I will be eternally grateful to Anjali for this favour ' that she PMed me and hunt me down to re-welcome me into this sanctuary. Miss interacting with you more often Anjali. 😒)
And I was back..into a haven where opinions were shared respectfully yet honestly, people had fun, they swooned, they giggled like teenaged fangurlz, went Woodwa Ve (i hope you like the surprise from one of our buddies😉) but turned contemplative when required. Bong toh.. tai intelligence & articulation, wit, insights ei shob ektoo beshiii bhalo lagey.. Amar Nijer nei ak phontao, but appreciate kortey besh laagey).
I think your crooners have helped me, provoked me to understand the serial at multiple levels I had always felt the show had the layered potential to peel off and appreciate the diverse nuances that I admired but couldn't always confirm with anyone. Your crooners not only provided that platform Priya but encouraged me to think of other angles that I would have missed. The chess theory is an immediate one I can think of. Not something my limited grey cells would ordinarily throw up.
I loved IPK a little more through your crooners Priya. Loved it's characters more, appreciated the story, was able to reconfirm my instincts on its technicalities, loved Nani, Buaji, Mami, Amma, Lakshmi & HP 😆 through your posts. I always loved Anjali, Khushi & ASR. But got into the actors like Akshay, Abhash, Daljeet, SI & BS through giggling & slightly insane conversations on Crooners.🤣
And the buddies I found here, was an extra joy, another surprise gift that Life shared with me. Every single PM, message, chat & call has given a nice sigh-worthy moment.
Thank you Priya for all these lovely experiences & Memories that you gave me in my journey with IPK, I do hope you decide to continue. I am not sure what I will do without this. I told you at the beginning of my message..this is a gift I didn't earn, but now a part of life without which my IPK addiction is quite unthinkable now.
It's your space Priya ' so you do what your heart and mind together tells you to do' but my humble request, be open to the idea of being convinced otherwise too 😛😉
Below is a song I thought of while I was writing this dedication, this mambo jumbo, the usual unstructured scrambled thoughts ... ..somehow just a favourite and something I would feel if the crooner wasn't there from Monday! (No Pressure Priya.. 'Yeah you wish 😛🥺)

Cheers Girl' Congratulations on your 100th Crooner. Your hard work, dedication & commitment for every Crooner just Dazzles me!! Onek onek virtual hugs Babes.
