let me write so long as the joy stays in my heart
and
let me write so long as my thoughts course through my head
and
let me write so long as my fingers are nimble
but
let me dream until eternity.
Sorry for the rather drab start, but its my state of mind right now as I return to watch yet another Indian soap (only to give it up midway, I'm sure, and scoot to deeper waters - I have currently parked myself at the Agean sea in Turkey's land of Ask's (love) and Sevda (loving). When the going get's tough, the tough really does get going for me. But enough of my poor soap watching history that no one here would be remotely interested in and on to brighter and better topics.
I skipped all but the last 5 minutes of yesterday (after the very melodramatic start and a glimpse of the jamming hamming session at the hospital - a real emmy award winning performance by the actors who play Sharanya's parents). The Ghastly Ghost with the Ghostly light has a sexy voice with the right timber - deep and husky and well, he can write a mean (I mean nice) poem or two.
Namik's performance is normally nuanced (or was in EDKV) but he can mumble and rush through his lines. I enjoyed it nonetheless - the poetry and the deep voice.
Coming to today's episode, my first thought (or my only thought) was that if EVER I were to lie in a vegetative coma for 2 years, please could I also find the energy, strenght and whatever it takes, to run like Sharanya upon waking up?! Please, could my muscles not get wasted while immobile in a coma for 2 years? Or perhaps, a Ghastly Ghost would come by in his Ghostly light and give me the energy of a duracell battery for me to wake up all refreshed. (END OF PRAYER).
But lets overlook the powers of television heroines, shall we? Vyom sounds sincere enough upfront and a bit shifty on the side. What he says is possibly partly true. Perhaps they were friends but the love story belongs to Shiv. Or perhaps Shiv has a pivitol role in Vyoms story but the placement of characters have changed and been manipulated. It looked like Ghost Dost was stalking Vyom and his storytelling as much as Sharanya in that scene. And I presume the lamp flickered because the neurons in the Ghastly blue of the Ghostly light reacted with the electricity causing a break in the electric cricuit and thus the flickering and blowing out of the lamp (the only logical explanation?).
But if it were up to me, I would go for the Ghost with the Ghastly transluscent blue, even though Vyom is so sincere and sweet and sugar and spice and everything that may or maynot be nice. I mean, here is a man with a deep voice and penchant for poetry who has come back from his grave for the lady he loves- and what's better - he mumbles sweet poetry in his deep husky voice. A ghost that creates poetry?(He has probably been to the dead poets society!). But let's pause here shall we - The ghost makes poetry, and Vyom mentioned Sharanya wrote the words that filled his music. Is there a slip here between the cup and the lip? A story lost in translation, Vyom?
So coming back to the preference of the Ghost (only because he came back from the dead and that soothes my romantic heart), as long as he does not turn into Frankenstein or the Zombie from the Night of the Living dead (and shows off his biceps as well as he can in his Ghostly blue), is he truly haunting Sharanya in the precap, or is the girl just getting frightened silly and testing her coma induced abilities of power running?
Well, tomorrow is another day and time will tell - if the blue turns into white, or takes a humanly form and the Ghost and his Guitar show up without the Ghastly light. (There you go- look at the person with the guitar, or non person with the guitar - its Shiv who has the guitar and made music)
As a side note, I would like to mention Mr Rosagulla with his Diabetes and Mrs Gulab Jamum with her BP. All soaked in sugar syrup - dripping from head to toe in it. I really would need to squeeze out all that sugar to digest Rosagulla Jamun.
The star of the show today - Nawab! - Baby, you rock. You gave the ghost a run for his blue money.
