Heyy.. This is such a special piece!! While the promo in itself has left me filled with intense anticipation, I think I have been filled with joy at the writings and discussion everyone is doing about menstruation and different variations of the birds and the bees. Coz even though this is set a century before, a lot of the things we deal with in our show are still relevant today. And the fact that we are all talking about it, thinking about it, reflecting, that in itself is a testament to the impact of our show. Don't mind me. I just feel filled with something like a fraction of ARC's krantigiri today.😆 Coming to your writing, I adored the creation story so much. And I definitely enjoyed Ani's chillam chillayi. I am missing it on the show! And only when it's gone do I remember the joy I got from him doing it at all the people standing in his way. And he for sure needs to bring it back for Bon in this scenario. Also, like the bittersweet thing in the talk is while it could have gone one way with Ani playing the sorta parental role in explaining what it all means, society dictates the backdrop of him being her husband and the wrong expectations that are thus thrust upon them. This whole thing is such a big conundrum in itself and I have so many strong emotions spilling over at the innate injustice that Bon will invariably have to face. I mean I know it's a fictional show at the end of the day but we have seen all these developmental milestones of Bon that this feels very close to my heart! I guess the fact that she has Ani who once he figures out a calm well thought plan on how to explain everything and gets over the initial hitch, will treat her like a princess during those times, not that he doesn't do that anyway. I think for the kids who don't get taught this the right way, what happens is a sort of alienation from your own body instead of treating it as a miracle of life. I think when I first learned about all of this and someone told me that it's a gift bestowed on me, I was a total brat and said either I want to return this gift or pass it onto a boy! When I calmed down, I told my Mom that if this is something only girls can do and if they owe their very own existence to us, then I want that the next time I get it, I want all the boys in my school to worship the ground I walk on and be like Dhanya ho aapka! Lol. 🤣And while I have come a long way since that early teen angst, it's nice to see and read all of these reminders of those times. Kudos to your pluck for writing this, thank you and apologies for the rant! 🤗
