Hiiiii! For the picture ask:

I'm greedy so I have two:

1. Most memorable Payash Sangeet scene

2. Most memorable Arshi Sangeet scene

Thank you!❣️

Hehe, hello you greedy mutton!

THE VIBES HERE EXCUSE ME???

And this one moment (I omit Khushi singing back cause that’s cringe but it’s so sweet what he does for her! Her happiness is infectious and he’s just all heart at this point 😭)

(the picture ask game) ;)

Best,

- JWB

scwescola: DJEHSHWJJSJSN ENDING IT LIKE THAT REALLY? But this was so good! These two are absolute idiots 😂

Hello @scwescola (do you know, I only just now got your URL), I’m so glad you liked it! This ending wasn’t supposed to be a cliffhanger it was meant to be funny! At least ... I hope it was funny lol. Thanks for reading!!

maansiloves: i love these stupids so damn much....n i literally heard my heart pounded in ribcage n fell to my stomach with a thud reading the last line "we shud keep in touch" u said u left ur readers at cliffhanger n u did the same yet again dn know hiw m gonna survive waiting for the next..amazing story by amazing writer..thank u for this @phati-sari ❤️

Hi @maansiloves :) Eeeeee, I make no apologies for your heart’s dhak-dhak, though I’m proud of myself for writing something that evoked it! Thank you very much for reading. And omg I swear this one wasn’t meant to be a cliffhanger, I’m so sorry!

jalebi-weds-bluetooth: ASDFGHJKL I AM SPEECHLESS. Keep in touch, ugh... I'll return when I can speak more. *dramatically flopping in bed in happiness*

Hahaaha, I’ll await your three-ask long message full of praise and fave quotes and detailed analysis of exactly how stupid Arnav is AJ @jalebi-weds-bluetooth -- thank you very much for reading and for being so supportive and kind. 

pakki-ya-nahin: Omg This is so beautiful PS! Especially the end of the chapter. Sooo good 👌

Thank you very much, PyN @pakki-ya-nahin this is so sweet! So, the beginning and the end of the chapter practically wrote themselves. It was the middle that gave me grief. For a long time, Khushi kept saying no -- either verbally or through her body language -- and Arnav kept pushing. I hate writing Arnav so blatantly ignoring consent. It took me a while to fix, but I really like the result!!

muttonthings: Omg Omg Omg I can't wait for Khushi's response. Payal please don't interrupt before she does

Hey @muttonthings ❤️Hahah no0o0o0o0o0 it’s not meant to be a cliffhanger omg I suck at this don’t I? The next scene is a little different (though I hope still enjoyable, and it will answer your question). Thanks for reading!!

thecharlesboyle: Ohhh my god,so good! I mean,Laad governor and Sanka Devi on a gol gappa date!! ❤️❤️😍

It was about time they went on a date @thecharlesboyle!! After all the whining and pining lol. I’m glad you liked it, thanks for reading!!

barshifan: Oh man 😞 the ride ended too early not just for our bitwa but also for us all readers :D Thank you PS🤗

Thanks for reading @barshifan :) Yeah, to be fair, bitwa wanted a few more hours, maybe some wining and dining, some making out in the back seat. Oh well, we can’t always have what we want ... ;)

wasnikkkk: these two idiots. “we should keep in touch”. didn't expect that ahh. so gooodd!❤️

I didn’t expect it either @wasnikkkk -- I’ve always wondered how they’d move forward in this story. Many of my stories have some formalised type of communication -- Moments has the letters, Charade has the ask game, Tere Bin can’t be left behind! Hopefully this takes the story in the right direction. Thanks for reading!!

[ridzmystique]

H-h-happy birthday dear Ridz!!!! May you have a magical birthday filled with everything and everyone you love 🎈🎉

I am....clearly having memory issues in my old age, hence the delay in replying, lol. Sorry! But thank you so much! Appreciate the wishes. Hope you’re doing well!! <3

[kaahaani]

Hiiii! So thanks to your TKEM posts curiosity got the better of me and I watched the show and am now OBSESSSSSED!! I need more LG+JTE in my life and your stories are certainly filling that gap. You write them SO well and it fits so well with their personalities I am in awe. Please please keep them coming. This was my first Kdrama but I think I have the bug now (I started Goblin) Are there any others you would recommend?

OMG, nothing makes me happier than to know that I have managed to get someone obsessed with my obsession. We all need more LGE + JTE in our lives. 

Omg, thank you so much for your kind words! I will definitely keep them coming. 

I have yet to watch Goblin - it came out at the worst time for me and I haven’t gotten around to it because of spoilers I’ve seen but it’s apparently really good. These are some of the other shows I liked:

Healer

Hotel Del Luna

You Who Came From the Stars/My Love From Another Star

City Hunter

Legend of the Blue Sea

What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim? (literal fluff)

Her Private Life

Descendants of the Sun

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

The Heirs

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon

Pinocchio

W: Two Worlds

I hope you enjoy whichever ones you watch! Also - I am dying to watch “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay/Psycho But It’s Okay” so deffo rec that too!

Hiiiiiii!

I don't know if it was asked already but:

🍉 and 🍓 please!

😘

Hellloooo!

Even if it is I'll answer again :)

🍉 Favorite trope? What’s a cliche that you just love?

Enemies to lovers, done well. There's something soft when the familiarity with the enemy brings more trust than even your friends. That begrudging respect towards the enemy for even though they're opposite to your fundamentals, you cannot denounce their strength and principles.

🍓 OTP(s)?

In IPK: Arnav-Khushi

Otherwise: Nupur-Mayank from Miley Jab Hum Tum, Samrat-Gunjan from Miley Jab Hum Tum, Lizzy-Darcy from Pride and Prejudice... (that's all I can think of for now, like these are OTPs I'm crying for)

Thank you so much love for indulging me! Anyone else wants to ask me more questions - check out this list. To check out my other answers to the fanfic questions then check out this tag.

Best,

Arshi Fiesta 2024 Theme : Colours/Stages of Love!

Moodboard 2 : Childhood Friends AU! x Arshi

You idiot, I've always loved you.

What if Arnav and Khushi met when they were kids? What if they became best friends? What would happen if either of them were to fall in love with the other?

What does the theme have to do with the moodboard? Well, technically— nothing. It's the theme for this month, June 2024 for we are celebrating IPK's 13th Anniversary! But it's also something you can choose to incorporate in your creation to help with the visual/written world building. You don't "have to" use it. Consider it as one of the individual prompts if you want to. :)

Steps to post correctly

[phati-sari]

Hi PS!! Wishing the best of health for you 💓. If you were in charge of organising the performances for K+A's Sangeet which song(s) would you have included? And who would perform it? *hugs*

Hey Mutton :) 

I’m alright, hope you are too!! So you know this is the best question ever asked, right? Sorry it’s taken me so long!

Payal -- Lo Chali Main, Apni Jeth-Ji Ki Baarat Le Ke.

Nani and Bua-ji -- Mungla

Payal, Khushi and Anjali (in a supporting role) -- Chalka Chalka Re

Mami and Mama -- Kajra Re

Arnav -- Mujhse Shaadi Karogi 

Aakash and NK -- Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna (they’d drag Arnav into it and then everyone would join in, like at the mehndi -- it’s always felt like a sangeet performance to me)

Boys vs Girls -- Koi Ladka Hai

Everyone at the end -- Gal Mithi Mithi

Thank you so much for asking!!

The Great Escape

In honor of @muttonthings​ uniting @jalebi-weds-bluetooth​ and I. Wrote this one a long, long time ago for a group of friends who wanted me to Close the Loop of what happened to Lakshmi/Mama/that one Prakash that faints when the family’s Ooh La La song starts. Enjoy the crack!

-----

It just isn't my day today.

I have gone around, looking for someone, anyone, that would understand me, and give me what I wanted, but so far, I had only ended up traumatizing herself.

Honestly, this family was so weird.

If anyone in Delhi knew what went on behind the walls of Shantivan, they would either faint, or write a book on it and become a millionaire. Or do both.

I wandered over to the room of the woman-cries-a-lot. Honestly, that woman had a water tank on her head. There was no way that a woman her size could carry the amount of water in her body, that was required to cry at the drop of the hat, or the sight of it...or even the mention of it.

I didn't know why I was here. Honestly, what could I expect from the woman-who-likes-to-touch-everyone? But she did have a tendency to leave laddus are jalebis around, and I was in the mood for some of those!

"You're here!" the woman-who-is-surprised-at-everything said. "Oh god. I have been looking all over the house for you! Everyone else took aarti and prasad, except you! Do you know that this is the fifteenth time I had to give aarti to Devi Mayya just so that I could give it to you as well?"

I was pulled over and seated before I could even utter a sound. A mountain of kumkum was dumped on my forehead and the aarti plate was rotated around and around and around until I was dizzy.

But I perked up when she fed me a jalebi. Say what one will about this house, but they had one of the best jalebis ever!

Before I could savor my food-of-gods, I was pulled away from it to go do pradakshina around Devi-Mayya.

Hain, Devi-Mayya!

I managed to escape just in the nick of time, and enter the room of Naniji. She truly was such an inspiration.

At her age, she had the energy and power to bring the entire family to their knees, rather than fall on her knees every two minutes, like the woman-who-could-be-killed-by-a-cough. Not to mention, her thumkas were legendary.

What an inspiration.

"Oh, you are here," Naniji said, with a smile. "I was thinking about going to a satsang. I should take you with me. It will be great fun!"

My heart stopped at the mention of satsang. Every time I was around her satsang friends, I was pulled this way and that, my cheeks were pinched and my beauty fawned over. As fun as it was the first time, I worried that one of these days, they would pull my cheeks right off!

Abort Mission!

When she turned around to look for something, I slyly made my escape.

Not knowing where to go, I wandered over to the door of the newly married couple...one of he newly married couple, I should say. The less interesting one.

"Aakashji," Payal said, shyly.

"Payalji," Aakash replied, equally bashfully.

"Aakashji," she repeated, whispering this time, blushing.

"Payalji," he said, his voice sounding like that of a teenage boy who discovered sex for the first time.

"Aakashji," there was a definite note of coyness this time.

"Payalji."

Since they knew each other's names well enough, I had to decide that they must be doing something decidedly naughty. Peeking in, I was stunned to see what was happening.

They were sitting on the bed, five feet apart, pointing at their wedding album, and mentioning each other's name every time their picture came up, and blushing like school kids.

To use ASR's favorite line, completely, What the f**k!?

Shaking my head, I move away from there before I catch whatever it is that they are infected by. PPP perhaps? Permanent Prepubescent Personality must be it.

Needing a breath of fresh air, I walk over to the gardens, hoping that the other PPP wasn't around. Perpetually Pissed-off Personality, this time.

But luck just wasn't with me today.

"Khushi," he said, breathlessly, moving towards her.

"Arnavji," she replied, blushing.

But unlike his brother, ASR wasn't a man of many words...or a man of the same word, many times.

He was about to bend and catch her lips with his own, when I made the mistake of stumbling over one of this beloved potted plants.

"What the...!?" he asked, as Khushi pushed his away at he noise, looking around consciously.

He turned his angry glare towards me and I cowered away.

Making ASR angry was NOT a good thing. That man could fry and eat me away, literally.

I run away from there as quickly as I can, and sneak into Mamaji and Mami's room.

"Hello Hi Bye Bye," I hear mami say. "I need to buy new makeupiya, for the tripya. I will be back later-ya?"

She sashayed out of there, and I saw Mamaji hang his head in defeat.

"I cannot take this anymore," he said, quickly getting up and starting to pack a bag. "I need to leave before she comes back. She drowns me off my money now, with her makeup and shopping. Imagine taking her to the US, I would run out of money and have to end up working as a taxi driver!"

I can feel you, I think sympathetically.

He completes packing a bag, and turns around, only to stop in his tracks when he sees me.

"You might as well come with me," he offers. "I am sure you had enough of the family as well."

I make a gesture that I hope conveys a nod, and trail after him.

On our way out of the house, through the back door, bending behind bushes so that we remain unseen, we bump into a figure.

Mamaji and I exclaim in shock, and the other figure does the same.

Mamaji picks up his bag in both hand, presumably to knock the intruder over the head, but is stopped by the next words out of the intruder, who turns out to be XP, Xtra Prakash's mouth, "Honestly, I hate working here," he says, his hands raised. "They are so weird."*

Mamaji nods and brings the bags down. "You can come with us too," he offers, out of the goodness of his heart.

XP gives a smile filled with gratitude and follows us.

------------------

3 Years Later

------------------

"That's our 10th million, in the bank!" MR explains.

No, not Manohar Raizada. It's Michael Romero now.

"Truly, there is no one of your caliber," XP nods.

You guessed it right, it stands for Xavier Pablo now.

"I can't believe a reality show with you as our star could make us millionaires," MR says, in disbelief.

But I knew.

I knew that LTOLS, "Lacksmi takes over Los Angeles" would take over the world one day.

I lean back in my pool-side chair, aviators on, and sigh out a "Baaa" in contentment.

Life was good.
