Well, friends, just finished watching today's epi !!! And like some of the more recent epis, today's presented many challenges too, to me anyway !! (will discuss the precap little later, coz it's a separate chapter all by itself, IMHO !!)
Right now I'm not going to go into babuji's condition first (because I "know" he's gonna to be just fine), or even express my thoughts about my hero Dev and his current inner turmoils, or talk anything about vivek, and my sweet chota bhaiyya Birju, or go into Vish's flying bird azaadi in mumbai, and most of all about maa and wretched amma.....😡
So, that leaves remaining two characters.... one of course is Keshav, and lastly .... my 2nd hero Radhika (although part and parcel of Dev's hero..).... Today's epi has touched my heart in more ways than one ..... Until yesterday I thought this ashram was a breeding ground for a bandigraha (prison) life that doesn't exist in the real world... Today I'm changing my opinion, as perhaps most of you may have...
While the male guru or purohit may be a decent, moh-mayajaal-rahit pandit, JD (janki didi) on the other hand "seems" just his opposite... I couldn't help but kept visualizing her as nazi's Hitler, stone-heart, merciless, worst kind of witch of the Eastwick (had to plug that movie !!!! 🤢 ) .....
That being said, radhika is put to most kathin test of her life yet.... what can be a bigger reason (test) for her than her most beloved babuji, jinko Vish ke sadme ke karan dil ka daura padta hai ??? .... Guru agrees to open the doors, agrees to release her from all bandhan, agrees to let her go back to the same paristhitiyan (circum-stances) that she had just left behind, agrees to let her go back to her babuji , he agrees to do all that.... But did she take advantage of that "freedom" ??? ..... NO.... So we ask why didn't she ??
Today, for the first time, I'll take "anukapoor-approach" and only ask the questions !!!!
As far as the new emerging Keshav angle, I can see why they changed his hairdo (so radhika cant recognize him from behind ?!?!?! she probably didn't notice his hairdo the 1st time he was there...).... Okay, so we watch the two of them talking, discussing, question-answer sessions, and all that.... Oh, before going any further, wonder why he calls vivek and not his boss, unless the cell belongs to Dev.... 2nd possibility, a stronger one, can be... he knows re RaDev pure love, so decides not to call the boss....
The scenarios now lead to what our Keshav knows to be radhika's reality, why she's decided to lead ashram's sevika-life.... why she's decided to leave everyone (although we all know.... he's only told the lies by radhika as usual and why...). The reason to talk about Kesh, not only for obvious reason, but also what I said in 1st para above.... (no I didn't forget... !!)...
We know how many times precaps have been edited, changed and the "uncreatives" know best as to why.... But today's precap is going to "test" Keshav this time.... (BTW, you may remember some April episodes, when he sort of wanted to talk to radhika as a "friend" and explain her the difference between bhakti and sacrifice.... just wanted to plug that in... as a refresher)... So back to precap again.... Is he going to tell anybody at the hospital re radhika's whereabouts, since he knows she doesn't want anyone to know and "why" ??? But when he says ~ "radhikaji to...." And the look of utter amazement, and big question mark on our Dev's face..... I think that was priceless, dont you ?!?!?!
Thanks for reading and awaiting wonderful answers !!!
