IPKKND 3rd Anniversary Poem

Poem posted on IF's IPKKND 3rd Anniversary thread 

For eighteen months ran the show

Eighteen months since we saw it go

Three years since it got us tied

Raaba ve on, we are still stupefied 

It happens when a show shuts down

The craze diminishes, everybody moves on

But IPK has reversed the trend

The fan base has only widened

What's the reason?, while some analyse

Watching again and again, becomes the premise

As dubbed ones, remakes and reruns thrive

They've helped to keep the show alive

So dupattas fly, while the gazes continue

A mesmerising hi, which still sounds new

Sighs, laughs and cries, we get even now

In an abyss of love, we happily fall down 

Jo pehle hua na, ab hone laga hai

Nuttier and nuttier, dil hone laga hai

On this third anniversary we need not be sane

So let's rock and party, while going dhak dhak again

Move on?

Feelings outpouring in poetic form. 

It has been a while since the show ended. Everyone from the team has moved on to different ventures. Most viewers have moved on to other shows, moved on with their lives, studies, jobs, etc. But many are still here, keeping IPK alive in their hearts, watching and re-watching, relishing and reveling in its magic, getting inspired, learning and teaching the good things, getting enthralled with the unavoidable chemistry. In short, basking in the golden sun shine that IPK continues to reflect.  

Moving on isn't something that I can deliberately do, especially if it is about IPK. If it has to happen, I would like to let it happen naturally, with time. Till then, I am here, in this house full of crazy IPK people, just like me. And enjoy and be contended that such a beauty came into our lives that moved every inch of our body and soul. Move on? Nah ... 

This poem is a reflection of the feelings of my friends outpouring on the Blast from the Past thread.  An ode to the show that has earned a permanent place in the hearts of all viewers, of those who have left and of those who haven't.

Move on? 

वो कहते हैं  के अब हमें आगे बढ़ना होगा 

यादों के भँवर से निकलना होगा 

दोनों चल पड़े हाथों  में हाथ लिए 

तो क्या अब हमें भी यहाँ से चले जाना होगा? 

वो दुपट्टे संग लहराता बेइंतेहां  प्यार 

What the की गूँज हो या तुम ठीक हो की पुकार  

बात करने का बहाना, हमेशा उनका लड़ना होता 

दिल को बहलाते इन पलों से क्या अब उभरना होगा? 

न कम हुई चाहत, न कम हुआ दीवानापन 

इसी बहाने मिला दोस्तों का अपनापन 

अब भी मायूस चेहरे पे जो मुस्कान ले आता 

 क्यों ऐसी अनमोल रत्न से दूर जाना होगा? 

घर वो है, जहाँ अपने रहते हैं, पराये नहीं 

जज़्बात अपने दिल के हैं, बेगाने नहीं 

ये जज़्बात जब तक अपने दिल में क़ायम होगा 

 इस घर में तब तक हमे रहना होगा 

Move on? 

Wo kehte hain ke ab humey aage badhna hoga

Yaadon ke bhanwar se nikalna hoga

Donon chal pade hain haathon mein haath liye

To kya humey bhi ab yahaan se chale jaana hoga?

Wo dupatte ke sang lehrata be-intehaa pyaar

What the ki goonj ho ya tum theek ho ki pukaar

Baat karne ka bahana, hamesha unka ladna hota

Dil ko behalate in palon se kya ab ubharna hoga?

Na kam huyi chahat, na kam hua deewanapan

Isee bahane mila doston ka apnapan

Ab bhi mayoos chehre pe jo muskaan le aata

Kyun aisi anmol ratna se door jaana hoga?

Ghar wo hai, jahaan apne rehte hain, paraye nahin

Jazbaat apne dil ke hain, begaane nahin

Ye jazbaat jab tak hamare dil mein kaayam hoga

Iss ghar mein tab tak humey rehna hoga

Translation:

They say that now we have to move on  

Should leave from this twister of memories  

Both have left walking hand in hand  

So should I too leave from here? 

That limitless love, flying with the dupatta  

The echo of What the or the call of tum theek ho  

An excuse to talk would always be their fights  

Do I have to rise from these heart soothing moments? 

The love hasn't come down nor has the craziness  

On this pretext, got a belonging feeling from friends  

The one that still brings forth a smile on a depressed face   

Why should I go far from such a priceless gem?  

Home is where near and dear ones live, not strangers   

The emotions are of my heart not that of outsiders'

As long as these feelings sustain in my heart

I will have to stay in this house till then.  

Hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Hindi poem posted on IF's IPKKND 2nd Anniversary Thread... 

 

हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

घर के छोटे पर्दे पर, बनी एक प्रेम कहानी 

इस कहानी की हुई सारी दुनिया दीवानी 

इन दोनों की छवि सबके मन में बसी 

ऐसे थे हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

न तकरार की कमी थी, न काम थे जज़्बात 

चिंगारियों से भरी थीं इनकी हर मुलाक़ात 

कभी नफरत की थी चिंगारी, कभी थी नशीली 

ऐसे थे हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

सपने हुए पूरे, वो बनी उनकी दुल्हन 

कई मुश्किलों बाद हुआ इनका मिलन 

साज़िशें बहुत हुई, इनका प्यार चढ़ा न बलि 

ऐसे थे हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

महीने बीत गए, पर इन्हे कोई न भूला 

बस यही बात हर एक का दिल बोला 

न पहले थी ऐसे जोड़ी, न फिर होगी कभी 

ऐसे हैं हमारे अर्नव और ख़ुशी

Hamare Arnav aur Khushi 

Ghar ke chotey pardey par, bani ek prem kahani

Is kahani ki huyi saari duniya diwaani

In donon ki chavi, sab ke man mein basi

Aise thay hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Na takraar ki kami thi, na kam thay jazbaat

Chingaariyon se bhari thi, inki har mulaqaat

Kabhi nafrat ki thi chingaari, kabhi thi nashili

Aise thay hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Sapne huye poore, woh bani unki dulhan

Kayee mushkilon ke baad hua inka milan

Saazishein bahut huyi, inka pyaar chadha na bali

Aise thay hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Mahiney beet gaye, par inhe koyi na bhoola

Bas yehi baat, har ek ka dil bola

Na pehle thi aisi jodi, na phir hogi kabhi

Aise hain hamare Arnav aur Khushi

Translation:

On the small screen at home, there was a love story

The whole world became crazy for this story

Both of their reflections was in everyone's heart

This is how they were, our Arnav and Khushi 

There was no dearth of conflict, nor of emotions

Their every meeting was full of sparks

The sparks were sometimes of hate and sometimes intoxicated

This is how they were, our Arnav and Khushi 

The dreams were fulfilled, she became his bride

After many difficulties their unity took place

There were many conspiracies, but their love was not sacrificed

This is how they were, our Arnav and Khushi 

It has been months, but no one forgot them

Only one thing, every heart said

There was never such a couple, nor will be there again

This is how they are, our Arnav and Khushi

Poem on IPK's Second Anniversary

Introductory poem in English posted on IF's IPKKND 2nd Anniversary Thread... 

Poem on IPK's Second Anniversary

We are here to celebrate IPK's second anniversary

A time to be nostalgic, but also a time to be merry

FFs, SSs, OSs of the show, can fill up a mini library

A show that gave us, our very own Tom and Jerry 

The entry in a chopper became the best entry ever

He entered into a million hearts to stay there forever

The girl on a two-wheeler, dressed in her best attire

Entered into the man's heart, which was a big ball of fire 

Sparks flew, tempers blew and challenges were made

Don't want to meet or talk, to each other they said

Like elastic, the more they pulled, the more they got closer

Like a magnet, every time, they kept bumping into each other 

Finally they overcame, their egos and their fights

They confessed that on each other, they always had rights

Arnav and Khushi are names that are taken in one breath

Together for a life long journey, these two are set 

This was no ordinary love story, told in an ordinary manner

This was a deep-rooted tale, to unite two people forever

The show created such a craze, the numbers on everyone's fingertips

Everything had a count, from almosts and kisses, to falls and lifts 

For many, this show has proved to be a boon 

A show that's called 'Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?'  

IPK and Doraemon

Ever since, IPK closed down, we hear viewers talk about how things in their daily life keep reminding them about IPK. That is the impact of IPK. From movies to songs, from bluetooth to ordinary stationary items, from dupattas to sarees, just about anything brings back memories of the show. But, what are the chances that a famous Japanese cartoon show which is shown in India, dubbed in Hindi can remind you of IPK on a daily basis.

Unimaginable right. But, that is true. Here are some examples.

• Often, we hear Nobita say, 'Ye kitna sundar hai' or 'Ye kitna achcha hai', exactly the same way Khushi says in the show so many times.
• 'Tum theek ho' used so regularly in IPK, is also used quite regularly in Doraemon too.
• In one episode, Nobita is using a gadget of Doraemon and says 'Jo tum dekhte ho, wo main dekhta hoon.' Just similar to the famous Holi dialogue of Arnav, 'Jo tum mehsoos karti ho, jo main mehsoos karta hoon.'
• In the same episode mentioned above, Shizuka tells Nobita, 'Tum kitne ajeeb ho'. A dialogue told about a million times to each other by Arnav and Khushi.
• A recently shown Doraemon movie had Sapnon ki Duniya as its basic theme. Sapnon ki duniya (SKD) was one of the elements of IPK, made popular by the dialogue, 'Sapnon ki duniya mein hi rehna theek hai Lavanyaji, asli duniya mein to dil tut te hain.'

All these may just be coincidences, because all these dialogues are regular everyday ones. But still, with so many resemblances, one often wonders if there is a link between the two shows. Either, someone from IPK is also in the dubbing team of the cartoon show, or, someone in the dubbing department of Doraemon is a huge fan of IPK. Either way, Doraemon continues to excel in its job, of constantly taking me back to IPKland.

Valentine's Day Poem for Arshi

Disclaimer: Please do not copy my work anywhere. If you do, please give credit.

On the occasion of Valentine's Day, I wrote the following keeping Arnav and Khushi (Arshi), the characters in the show 'Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon' in mind.

आगया लो दिन प्यार का, दिल अरमानों से है भरा ,
ऐसा ही एक दिन पहले भी आया था, दिल तब भी अरमानों से भरा था,
एक चाह थी कुछ कहने की, एक हसरत थी कुछ सुनने की ,
दिन था वो प्यार के इज़हार का, हाल-ए -दिल के इकरार का,
पर दुश्मन ने किया ऐसा वार, दिल के हुए टुकड़े हज़ार,
नफ़रत  का  समां छा  गया, प्यार कहीं दबकर रह गया,
इस नफरत को ढलने में लगे कई दिन,
ऐसे में भी दोनों रह ना पाए एक दूजे के बिन,
आखिर प्यार नफरत पर भारी पड़ गया, दोनों पर प्यार का जादू चल गया,
तो फिर आगया लो दिन प्यार का, दिल फिरसे अरमानों से है भरा,
अब रहती है होटों पे इनके हसी, 
हमेशा के लिए एक होगए  अर्नव और ख़ुशी 

Aagaya lo din pyaar ka, dil armaanon se hai bhara,

Aisa hi ek din pehle bhi aaya tha, dil tab bhi armaanon se bhara tha,

Ek chaah thi kuch kehne ki, ek hasrat thi kuch sunne ki,

Din tha woh pyaar ke izhaar ka, haal-e-dil ke ikraar ka

Par dushman ne kiya aisa vaar, dil ke huye tukde hazaar,

Nafrat ka sama chaa gaya, pyaar kahin dabkar reh gaya,

Is nafrat ko dhalne mein lage kayee din,

aise mein bhi donon rehnaa paaye ek duje ke bin,

Aakhir pyaar nafrat par bhaari pad gaya, donon par pyaar ka jaadu chal gaya,

To phir aagaya lo din pyaar ka, dil phirse armaanon se hai bhara,

Ab rehti hai hoton pe inke hasee,

Hamesha ke liye ek hogaye Arnav aur Khushi

Translation

Here comes the day of love, heart full of desires

Such a day had come earlier too, heart was full of desires then too,

A want to say something, a wish to hear something,

It was a day to express love, to confess the state of heart,

But the enemy made such a strike, the heart broke into thousand pieces,

Hate was there everywhere, love got suppressed somewhere,

It took many days for the hate to descend,

even then they couldn't stay without each other,

Finally love overcame hate, both were surrounded by the magic of love.

So, here again comes the day of love, heart is again full of desires

Now there is always a smile on their lips,

Forever they became one, Arnav and Khushi.

Welcome

Hello friends,

First of all,  I would like to thank the Almighty for giving me the power to write and for showering me with so much love.

All my writings in this blog are related to the Hindi show 'Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon' (IPKKND), which was telecasted on Star Plus. I am going to post my works from the 'Blast from the past' thread on IF here. Along with that, I will also be writing down my thoughts about the show in general.  

My writings include so called poems which are just lines that I am able to rhyme. They are actually reflections of some of the reviews that the lovely ladies on the above thread have made. Thus, they have influenced me in my work.
