Loved yesterdays episode ...as i was writing my second post yesterday ... i sort of encapsulated why i started watching .. why i continued watching ... why i started writing .. for this serial ...
Yesterday while watching the episode .. i was wondering did i really need to write ... coz all that i wanted to say was in the episode itself ...
What i loved was ... at no point of time did she Disrespect Ramnath .. she kept the cloak of respectability & seniority right in place ... but she did not back down either ... she did stood firm with her beliefs ...
Something in ur post which got my thinking cap on ... my thots on it ...
Shravan has yet to understand the power of love...he is still tentative, he is still relying on other's thoughts...time will enable him to stand in front of his dad and proclaim that i am not your shadow. But, that is a long way
Not arguing ur point does not necessarily mean u dont understand the power of love ... yes he has his insecurities ... which make him question himself ... or whether he is worthy of love ... but does it mean he does not understand the power of love ... IMHO .. i think he understands it a bit to much .. he is vary coz he knows how deep he can love .. how completely he can love .. a teenage love which lasted for 10 years amidst all kinds of adversity ... just bears testimony to how much this guy can love .. & powerful is his love ... & if u doubt it .. just see the Precap ... he is waiting for Sumo to come .. his resolve on Sumo was undeterred even after his father made him face his biggest insecurity HIS MOTHER >..
He has to rely on his inner voice...and in his love for her
Sumo does not know that he loves her and yet she is confident about love. Shravan knows she was willing to give up her life and yet he is yet to comprehend its true power
Sumo does not realize he loves her ... phew i told u in our very private chat the other day ... is it she is confused about her love for him ... or is she not sure that he is ready to embrace that love & verbalize it ... the girl who saw him crumble after his father was presumed dead ... knows the depth of love he has ... at each point post which she has seen the same commitment & deep caring he has for his father ..he has shown the same to her ... she is NOT CONFUSED ABOUT SHRAVAN'S LOVE AT ALL ... she is confused whether he is ready to articulate that love or does he still wish to cloak it in FRIENDSHIP ... a dialog one must revisit to understand Sumo ...
Heres what my take away from the episode was ...
U know me .. i get transported while watching .. so while watching this one i was taken back to the Holi episode ... & ofcoruse the all fateful day where the teenage love was devastated ... & 2 of the father son convo
In the holi episode ... Shravan spoke about a person who would stand by thru thick or thin .. who understood the meaning of commitment ...
On the fateful day ... he wanted someone to just hold on to him .. when everything around him was crumbling ... that one person he wanted was Sumo .. the one right in his world ... but she selfishly ..clung to her image & disregarded her dearest friend ...
The father told his son .. leave Sumo .. she is selfish all she thinks about is herself ..she does not understand the value of family ... in one of the beginning episodes ... Ram spent some time explaining the value of family to Shravan ( varun asking for money episode)
Now this is a moment of pause ...
Was this episode Sumo's redemption episode ... the girl of 16 who was selfish redeemed herself completely ... the maturity which Shravan spoke of came out in spades ...
Ok i am sure u guys are confused .. so lemme explain ...
While she is contemplating Ram's dictats in her room .. her first thot is herself ... she says how can I give up Shravan .. he is MY LIFE ... he is MY reason to LIVE ...
It was all about the MY ... somewhere inside the mature girl there still lived a Selfish girl ... completely justifiable .. when life takes away from u brutally .. u want to hold on to what u have ... at 16 she had transient fame & glory .. at 26 she has Shravan ... or her need to belong ..
But as she steps up to complete her destiny ... ( hold on to Shravan) ... she stumbles & she sees a picture of people who SELFLESSLY gave to her ... Who accepted her ... who gave her a feeling of belonging much before Shravan came to her life ... they were her anchors .. they were her safe harbors ...
She realizes what she did wrong at 16 she was going to repeat at 26 ... & the real Suman Tewari emerges .. the one who can not only fight for what she thinks is right ... but one who knows how to sacrifice ... today she merged .. Sumo & Suman Tewari merged ... & the REAL WOMAN came shining out ...
Truly a cataclysmic moment ...
Was this the woman he loved ... yes she was the woman he loved .. the one who fought for him when he was down .. & the one who cooked for him when he wanted (nurtures the bond) .. the one who cried for what she had lost .. the strong & the vulnerable ... the COMPLETE WOMAN ...
Ram was just prior to this explaining to Shravan .. do u want to wait & think over what u want .. & it was ironic .. the right woman .. the complete woman just emerged from the shadows post this talk .. YES Shravan is right .. he chose well ... & yes he is like his father .. He chose the right woman to fall in love with ... the difference between the father & son ... Son loves without conditions ... father put a price on love ...
Yes Suman was like Nirmala .. she could love selflessly ... yes she could sacrifice .. yes she could fight for right ... but she was also different ... she found a way to not abandon ... the easiest route in life is abandoning .. she took the tougher one .. she chose to stay & her belief in her love being stronger than any adversity is what distinguishes her from Nirnala ...
Did the story travel a full circle to the point it began on ... YES IT DID ...
we are at the point in the story ... where it started from ... 2 people desperately in love with each other ... but due to the one barrier in their life ... TIME they have to wait to complete their destinies ... The letter still its in the book ... with its destiny yet to be fulfilled ...
As i end my post ... i am going to bring to ur notice something i have been writing about consistently in all my past wine shots ...
A love was deconstructed when a marriage deconstructed 10 years back ... So for this love to reconstruct ... will it take 1 - 2 love stories to construct & reconstruct ... one has already started ... one love story brought these 2 on the threshold of verbalizing their love ... will it take one more to push this love story on track ????😳😳
