I want to make her mine, at any cost mother.
[King Suryapratap Singh]
A woman’s heart is not like a fort that you’ll attack it, and hoist the flag of victory over it.
[Queen Mother]

You are not doing the right thing, Pratap. Forget her and set her free.
[Queen Mother]
I can’t do that mother. The Queen is not just my desire. She is my life.
I can’t live without her.
[King Suryapratap Singh]

I Want to Make Her Mine At Any Cost
~DhruvTara—Samay Sadi Se Pare~
~~~
Have you ever wanted something or someone so badly that you were willing to lose your self-respect to win that person or thing? And let me ask you another question. Can obsessive love drive someone to the point of losing all reason?
Well apparently in this love story, King Suryapratap Singh wants to make his Queen Antara-Tarapriya fall in love with him so badly that he’s stooping to the lowest of levels to win her. His behavior has become so low down and dirty that I’m gonna simply say his male ego knows no boundaries whatsoever because all is fair in love and war right now to him.
The thing is that she’s still in love with her first husband and lover named Dhruv who has time traveled back in time from the 21st century to a time when men dueled to win one woman’s love. She has never loved the King, but has held him in high regard and has had a huge amount of respect for him as a man and the foster father of their son.
I tell you that his love for her has driven him to a point that he has become obsessively jealous of the relationship she has with Dhruv as he wants this kind of love for himself and can you blame him, for she is remarkably beautiful in the eyes of both her husbands.
He’s lost himself to her in a way that has gotten in the way of his ability to rightly rule and his relationship with his mother and other relatives he used to hold dearly. Ever since she lost her memory in that accidental fall off a cliff she thinks she is not his Queen but is Bijli a dancer. It seems he’s more obsessed and in a worse state than ever before since she returned to the palace and he sees this as an opportunity to further lie to her by making her believe it’s he that she loved and not Dhruv. So now he is trying his best to snatch her away from Dhruv who has loved her enough to find a way and risk coming to a time and space to bring her back to the 21st century with him as a neurosurgeon.

It seems at this point nothing else matters to the King anymore. He cares about no one else or nothing in the world except his one-sided love for her and thinks night and day about how he’s going to have her whether she loves him or not.
So yeah, Druv Tara -Samay Sadi Se Pare has become one of my favorite and latest Hindi serials I’ve been watching lately. It’s a combination of a sci-fi/time-travel/fantasy/romantic love triangle drama that is ultimately amazing. I am fascinated by this love story and always on the edge of my seat while watching it and I can’t wait till the next episode airs.
I’m sure just like the other fans of this show, I’m left wondering whether the King will succeed in winning her love or whether Dhruv and Tara’s centuries-old love will rise to the top and survive the jealous destructiveness being imposed upon them by the King.
Could you just imagine being a Queen who is married to two different types of men at the same time and wanting only one and not the other?
Imagine on the one hand having such a rich, stately, classy, manly, romantic, cool, and handsome King as a second husband and on the other hand a good-looking, low-keyed, intelligent, romantic, and lover-able neurosurgeon as a first husband. Oh my gosh! I don’t know how she is not in love with them both at the same time. But, only time will tell how this is going to end up, and who is going to win, lol! I don’t know which man I want to see her with in the end because I do enjoy watching both their styles and the romantic moves they are making on the beautiful Queen.

Lately, friends have been asking how am I doing and what have I been up to since our 2023 holiday get-together here at the house.
Well, I alongside my husband been trying to ride out this storm called life. Making the best of our situation, aiming to live as normally and positively as possible despite all that’s going on in the world.
We are continuing to keep up our prepping as best we can because it seems prices are going up on every single thing. We are still hoping for the best while prepping for the worst as very best we can.

One of our dogs has been feeling sick again and so I been trying to soothe him by giving him a few concoctions of mine for the past seven days.
And it seems to be working because right away I can see him feeling better and back to being that same happy dog I been used to seeing. He’s running around and happily wagging his tail.
I’m glad he’s better and saved us a pricey trip to the vet just until it’s time for his normal visit for shots and whatnot. I had been observing his behavior lately that something was wrong and so I just wish I could have caught on to what was ailing him a lot sooner to shorten his misery. But better late than never. He’s an old dog but we try to keep him happy.
Our other one seems to be happy no matter what. She loves her dog world.

My grandmother told me that back in her days, women used to wash and trim their hair only on special days which co-insided with the moon.
Women used to cook certain types of foods on certain days and practically did not make a move regarding much of everything without consulting with their elders and the almanac.
They washed and trimmed their hair ends to promote hair growth according to the configuration of the moon.
I always wondered about that. I even thought about trying it out.
Let me think about it.

The way I see it is
when someone is purposely being silent to another person.
As silence can be used to intimidate.
Basically
ignoring another.
By ignoring someone
they are playing with
the happiness,
state of well being
or their mental and physical.
And there is no way a person should be made to feel hurt in this way.

I love ironing. I hear people say who has time to iron. Let me tell you that when I iron, I’m not just ironing. I am alone with my thoughts.
I love the subtle sound of the iron gliding across the fabric and the sound of steam coming from the iron. I like hearing the ironing board creaking as I apply pressure at times.
I like seeing the wrinkles disappear on the fabric. It’s almost magic. Watching as I make even creases in the fabric. I iron all sorts of fabrics but mostly I like ironing freshly washed sheets and tablecloths. I iron shirts, jeans, skirts, dresses, tops and pants as well. I love the smell of freshly ironed crisp fabrics.
I love beautiful iron board coverings. Spray starch and lavender linen spray.
I sit in a comfortable chair and press away. This is the time I get to think and hear myself think. I think about my problems and I try to figure out solutions or how I plan to solve them.
This is the time I can enjoy my happy thoughts and beautiful thoughts.
And so that’s what happens when I’m ironing.

Well I’m in charge of seeing that our home gets decorated for winter. So I been busy getting it done. I’ve chosen the gingerbread, gingerhouse theme this year. And so my husband and I are planning to have a few family members and friends over throughout the last two weeks of December, people are going to be dropping by on the fly.
So we are planning to serve lots of coffee and tea in the mornings and various kinds of beverages in the afternoons and then in the evenings we are planning to drop a few franks, burgers, and corn on the cob on the grill. The entertainment consists of watching movies in the backyard beside our new firepit on our new projection screen.
There’s one movie that has recently come out on Netflix with Julia Roberts, called “Leave The World Behind.” It’s about a nationwide blackout. And so I tell you I just finished watching it today and it sent chills down my spine. And so it left me thinking about how these types of scenarios could happen to us as a people at any moment in time. I won’t reveal much of what the movie is about but I must tell you it is very chilling. And if you haven’t watched it well I think you just should.
Also, I think if there’s anyone out there who thinks for one moment that prepping is a waste of time or is a means for just instilling fear, then you really are not a thinking individual. You might as well just be an ostrich, so go ahead and do what they do, bury your head in the sand then, lol!
I tell you anyone with good sense could see that the world is changing for the worse, not the better and a lot is happening with the supply chain, because every time, not sometimes but everytime my husband goes to the store he notices that there are shortages of everything. And that the prices for items just keep going up and up.
And if you take a brief moment to take a peek at the current events going on you’d really be saying to yourself that I better keep getting prepared while I still can. I think it always is best to be as prepared as possible and whether you wind up needing to use the things you’ve prepped or not I think it is really stupid not to prepare. Especially when you have a family and are responsible for the lives of small children or young adults. You just can’t go to sleep in this world. It’s best to be prepared also to defend what is yours if you know what I mean.
My advice to anyone would be the following…
Do what you can to make sure you can get out of the cities and closest to the country areas.
Have alternative heating and light sources. Such as plenty of flashlights, batteries, and candles, and if you can install a wood-burning stove then you really are on top of your game. I wish I could do something like this because in my area it is very difficult to get someone to come out to install a wood-burning stove but I haven’t given up completely as I will keep searching for a company that is willing to come out to my home to do it.
Do what you can and use every resource to pay your mortgage completely off as quickly as possible. Even if you have to double up on payments then do it if you can. The sooner you pay it off the better because that is a great game changer.
Do what you can to be fully stocked up on food and water. As a matter of fact I’d say stack it to the rafters. Stick food in anywhere you can. Espeically stock up on canned meats like turkey spam, chicken and fish and rice. I stock up on basmati rice because it cooks really fast and the canned meats can be heated up quickly as well. Also canned vegetables like string beans, cream style corn, mixed vegetables, carrots and soups.
Do what you can to have plenty of other things you will need like soap, detergents, toilet paper, clothes, shoes, underware, warm clothing, gloves, hats, coats and things like extra sheets, blankets, quilts. Believe it or not quilts can be used to cover floors, walls and windows to keep out drafts and keep the heat in and in the summer to keep the heat out. I am teaching myself how to make them.
I’ve stocked up on lots of yarn and tools and I am teaching myself to make afghans, scarfs, hats and gloves. It is a really good thing to learn.
And you’ll need a bunch of first aid kits and various medicines. It is also wise to teach yourself and learn all you can about herbology so you can learn to grow some of your own medicinal herbs and stock up on certain ones now while you still can. Trust me I know this is something simple that might save my life or someone elses.
Stock up on other forms of entertainment. Such as growing a library so you can have tangible books to read. I like making pretty cute little bookmarks and bags to carry my books around in. I like stocking up on DVD’s and saving music. Also plenty of game board games. I have so many small portable DVD players and CD players put away it isn’t funny.
Also generators. Small portable ones come in really handy.
I do believe what happened in this movie will eventually happen in the long run. So people don’t drag your feet, get yourselves ready.
