Is there any importance of leading life a certain wayWhen I was young, and acted silly, my mum always told me that people around me are always judging me based on my actions, irrespective of whether they tell me that they are doing it or not. So, it was important that I always behaved well. The moment I saw Asad die, and realized that there are so many things that will go against him, I called my mum and thanked her for teaching me to behave well and say the right things in public. His immaturity, the friends he kept, his equation with Yash, everything will go against this kid now.
Then, I saw the way Haider maamu is being treated. What has this man done wrong in his life. He was everything that Asad wasn't. So, why is he being punished? Then I called my mum back and told her that I had also understood that as well behaved as I may be, if my time is incorrect, nothing can help me. That is the true reality!
The bigger context
Forget Dahleez. This is just a show. Think of the bigger context. The world is becoming more and more deadly each day. We go to airports, train stations, bus stations, we are apprehensive. None of us feel a sense of "we live in a safe world". That just doesn't exist unless you are less than 5 years old maybe. We are all weary of each other. And that is the unfortunate truth.
Some one around you is speaking in a language you don't understand, you may not react to it. But is it not true that you are hoping and praying that they don't mean any harm? Some one forgets a briefcase in the airport, the next thing you know, there is a bomb squad making sure there is no problem. Why such mistrust? Why so jittery? Unfortunately, this is reality today. We live in a world of unrest. We live in a world of un-equals. And each and every one of us is judgmental. Each and every one of us will conclude what we think is obvious in any situation. I can bet, if we didn't have the entire life story of Asad and maamu if front of us now, we would also be supporting just Suhasini and not Zubaida. Whether we want to accept it or not, this is reality.
Solving a crime
When the odds are against any situation, how do you establish a sense of reality? When there is no physical evidence, but a crime has happened, you start joining dots that may or may not be relevant to complete the puzzle.
If now Asad was murdered under different circumstances, do you think that a lawyer trying to establish the trust of his death would not question Swadheenta about her last words to him? "Tu mar wahi pe". So she would become a suspect in a sense. But did she say those words with that intent? Aapne aise kyon kaha tha Swadheenta ji? Aap naraaz thi unse. Itni naraaz ki unka khoon kar diya.. is there any rationality to this? But is this not the truth?
When you have no concrete evidence, you start thinking of everything that could be evidence to support your theory. It is natural.
Adarsh, the Man
I know a lot of people have a problem with him. I also know that I have become infamous for defending him all the time. But I will do it again (living up to my reputation).
I haven't seen a more consistent character. Even when he is emotional, he does not act only based on his emotions. Unless he has evidence that supports his emotions, he does not act. He is a man of principles. If there is anything against his principles, he will not do it. And he is also inclined to follow his principles, no matter what the situation. He always looked up to his father and sought his appreciation. But even to please him, he would no do something incorrect. He stood against his father. He loves Swadheenta to bits. He knew his relationship with her was at stake. But when he thought appa was wrong in using physical violence, he stood against her. Today, he lost his dear brother under unnatural circumstances. And he is being told that Asad killed Abhay. He did not immediately go and fight. Even in his most distressed state, even if it was in his mind, he looked for evidence. Was this even possible? Then, he thought of instances that could lead to this conclusion. Only after that did he react.
Tomorrow, if he is shown evidence that his dad was wrong, he will fight against him. If he is shown evidence that maamu and Asad are innocent, he will support them. Because he is that kind of a man.
Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance comes recovery.
The one line from Harry Potter that still sticks with me. How true is that. Until you understand what has gone wrong, you cannot accept it. And unless you accept it, there is no recovery.
It may seem like 3 days to us, but in reality, it probably is 3 hours since when Abhay died. The pain is still too raw to process. Give everyone some time to analyze, understand, accept and recovery. And make no mistake, they will. It won't be too long before everyone will stand by the Jilani's.
I want to end this by stating something that Pom said yesterday. If the cop who died was anyone other than Abhay, Adarsh would have fought tooth and nail to have Asad and maamu released. But the cop happens to be Abhay. That changes all the odds.
