What should I call this Love..


I started watching the serial Is Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.. Season 1.
This is telecast in Star Plus. It is known for the chemistry between Arnav and Khushi.
My first impression with watching the serial is - It is a love story between Christian Grey and Anastasia.
But then again it is different. The name Chamkili is apt for the heroine. She is all glitter and white and beautiful.
The Name Arnav is short backing up the character of the hero who is short tempered.
I love these type of Love stories as I already said in my previous posts.
Scenes where Arnav keeps quiet most of the time when Khushi is around him.
The Scenes where khushi is surprised when Arnav talks caring with her Di.
The scenes which trigger the song "Raba Ve.. Raba Ve.."
Star Plus actually proved a lot better than Zee TV Serials (I watched Choti Bahu) in terms of the glitter and gold. The colours, the vibrancy, the heroines, the hero, the style, the richness, the story.
Another character who is both beautiful and sole for this story is Anjali/Rani Sahiba/Di. She is the most beautiful of all the girls in the serial. I am run out of words to talk about her.

Also the comedy scenes between Manorama and Lavanya - They are the best. It is like watching two natural woman fight about sarees and things that happen in regular kitchen.
There is no dragging in the story. Till now the director has not run out of ideas, not run out of comedy, not run out of romance. I am watching currently 76Th Episode and 300 more to go. Fingers Crossed !!

So far, this is the best serial. A lot better than the Previous one (Choti Bahu)

Yet another Disaster but Beautifully written


While reading Beautiful Disaster I felt like I am going through Twilight (or) 50 Shades but with completely different names and different country. It felt exciting at the beginning of the story. But then again I felt like that is another Christian and Anastasia in each and every country. There is only one instance in the story where Kara, Abby's roommate mentions that 'Abby and Travis are like a disaster.' Again Abby considers it as a beautiful thing. The relationship between Abby and Trav is then considered as Beautiful disaster. The feeling here is mutual.

I felt like Abby had to stay away from Travis just to keep her feelings at bay. In the story, Abby being 19 years old made me feel good. It is at this stage in your life where you need to take wise decisions, yet you will be exposed to all kinds of desires and glitter in life. Each stage in life I felt good that Abby is the Lucky Charm of the story and only good things happen to the couple and people around them at the end of each chapter.

There is no such captivating moment in the story which made me cry.
There is no such captivating moment in the story which me feel lonely.
There is no such captivating moment in the story which would me remember this story again and again.

But at the end, every girls dream would be a guy like Edward Cullen, Christian Grey, Travis Maddox.
It would be dream to have such a guy in my life. As said, These type of guys are a DREAM !! and can be found only in fantasy stories like Beautiful Disaster.

It would not harm any one to read the same stories again and again even though the books are written for every state or even for every country.
