Thoughts(poems)4th August2011-Radhika page 55 - Page 9

MIsti, you bring out the essence of what is going on with Radhika in your poetry beautifully! It was a gem! Radhika's struggle shown in the past 2 weeks (at times not that successfully and at other really well) made me stick around for and look forward to the episodes. This is what attracted me to the show in the first place and I hope the Creatives team continue along this line. Yesterday's week ending climax was worth watching and I hope this is the right turn for the story from my perspective!

Thank you Bee............the funny poem became this. Actually until you pointed out regarding words from this thread........I did not even realsie that fact. Must have been doing it subconsiously..........I think all my feelings regarding Radhika came out in this poem........I mean all the things that I have been feeling about her for the past week.

BINGO! Mishti, I felt the same .. I felt that whatever you had felt about Rad and written in this forum is so much in your head that those same feeling again came out as poem. (I was not very sure about it) Some things you read and those strike(awake) your mind(bcos they are there somewhere in your mind too) and Rad is the same character and we all have been talking so much about her, sometimes we all tell the same thing over and over again in different ways, that it def has gone into the subconscious mind. It shows how much we get effected by some of the fictional characters.

But that effect which can come out as poem in your case is absolute brilliance.👏👏👏

Thanks Gardes.........this is what attracted me to the show too........then it got lost in all those stupid plots.

mishti
your poem is very 2 good
you have this extraordinary gift of poetry .
you have sketched Radhika's character extremely accurately .
She has been saving Vishaka from her scrapes all her life in spite of Shastriji being against it .
It is Radhika's second nature to go to Vishaka throwing caution to the wind.
Radhika made shastriji lose his clientele when she went to attend a wedding which Vishaka had to attend . Later on radhika did govardhan parikrama to atone for her mistake .
She even disobeyed her revered father to be at Vishaka's bidding .
She is following the same pattern of behaviour which is ingrained in her from childhood . now Shastriji has been replaced by Dev

Thanks Bee........we have been talking so much about Radhika the last week that she is there in my mind........anyway she has always been there...........but last week she just became more persistant. I have realised that while writing poetry I have to follow what is there inside me........then only do the words come out otherwise it is usually a struggle for me.

Thanks Interest..........she is following a very self-destructive pattern that she has earnt since childhood. I hope that with Dev and Birjus love, help and support she comes out of it, before it destroys everything in her life.

We have been talking and discussing a lot regarding Radhikas fear and her insecurities and her silence...........I correlate her fears and insecurities with her memories of childhood that are still in chains and needs loads of love and care for her to break those chains.........so the following poem is about that.

The Girl

The cry of a girl reached out to me,

From a place that seemed unknown to me,

I could hear her whimpering pleas,

Of fear and pain within.

The hands of a girl reached out to me,

From a place where sunlight flees,

I could sense her soft touches,

Of quivering fingers that are cold to feel.

I looked for the girl, to ease her pain,

Who seemed like a stranger, yet a friend,

When all at once I came to sense,

That, she was my memory in chains.

Hope u all liked it.

Wow!!
Actually when I was reading .. I was thinking how is it possible(?), Rad had never learnt to reach out to anyone and how is mishti thinking that Rad is reaching out to her ...!!! I was thinking what happened to mishti ? ... Then everything made sense as I slowly reached the end 2 lines ...
Thats right .. again it shows Rad's turmoil and the way you want to reach out and hug her (as u said before) in your thoughts ....
Thats when I thought Wow!!

Bee actually the I in the poem is Radhika herself.............it is Radhika who is wondering from where is she hearing the cry of help from a young girl...........when suddenly she realises that the girl is no one else but her memories about her childhood.............thats why the line " Who seemed like a stranger, yet a friend".........so she knows this voice, yet does not know it............its got nothing to do with me wanting to hug Radhika.

Great poem. You seem to have reached into Radhika's soul and figured a few things out that come out in the form of poetry. I hope to see more of the same. Rads will not be cured overnight!
