Maya, the illusion or appearance of the phenomenal woman!
As expected, the scene started with a lady shed her outer layer on the bank of a river, immersed herself in the water as if to wash off the marks of the dirt, the mud which splashed on her back while moving forward, followed by the nimajjan of Devi Maa! Symbolism played a vital role in the first scene itself! No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back , by pushing someone into the flow of your anger and then pulling that life towards the bank to make the world run towards a mirage!!!
In the future, the wisdom may try to ask Maya that --If you spend your time planning and hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then are you not allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind??!
I hope Maya's answer should be -- Mr.MJ, listen...Karma comes after everyone eventually. You can't get away with deceiving and hurt people over your whole life, I don't care who you are. What goes around comes around. That's how it works. Sooner or later the universe, in the form of Maya will serve you the revenge that you deserve!!
Maybe ... just maybe I am afraid Maya may suffer more in this entire process, in the process of hurting others!
The pain started years ago, but she'd lived with it for so long at that point that she’d accepted it as an inevitable part of her, she tried to show her pain by drowning one and hurting the other with her tact and might. But when she sits in front of that cake, the struggle in her mind was clearly visible, human weakness, questioning ownself about right and wrong, how far it is correct, that inner struggle made her act violently, by pasting that cake on her face she questioned her own decision, at the same time shown her tender side by uttering that word Dard, which is now a part of her for long!
