Ok I was upset after seeing more torture in store for gayu. But this comes as a breather. The Darjeeling segment

@G, Sim and Ami,

I know the biggest gripe most of the forum-ites have had with the show is the pace of the love story. I am among the minuscule minority, who have no problems with the love story per se.

Some love stories are fast and furious in pace and others nice and easy. The RNJ- G romance was never going to belong to the latter category. Time is somewhat relative. Five minutes seem like aeons when you are waiting for someone. The same five minutes seem to flash past when you have a deadline to meet. In this case, I feel in the span of a few weeks, these two have lived through experiences that should have been spread out over a far longer time. Their relationship itself began with a near death experience ( the drowning in the river) and it took another near death experience ( the cliff) to change its trajectory, What began as passionate, extreme hatred slipped into the zone of extreme, deep guilt, which in turn slipped into intense, passionate desire and then finally a love that transcended all other barriers, including the resurrection of a past love. It has always been extreme with them, nothing has ever been felt in moderation. So, there was never going to be a slow phasing from hatred to acceptance to friendship to romance and then love. It has been a bit of a zip zap zoom relationship and I find that both real and exciting!

On the matter of Sulakshana, she was this memory that RNJ clung onto stubbornly as a defense mechanism thanks to the promise of lifetime fidelity he had made to her. I think the guilt he felt over the pain and hurt he had caused to G subsumed any active guilt over Sulakshana's memory and he lowered his defenses enough for G to make inroads into his private space. The warmth of her companionship combined with the inherent, subconscious pull he seemed to feel towards her to make him acknowledge and accept that they had a connect. Once that happened, the latent attraction flared up and consumed him to a point where he stopped thinking. It was again Sulakshana's memory, thanks to the bangle, that caused him to stop for a moment. Soon enough, he realized that he owed it to G to take whatever he had started forward and that he finally let go of the guilt that he had felt over S and decided to start actively living and loving again. G's generosity in accepting him along with his past flooded the inner echelons of his heart with a warmth and love that swept away any residual memories that he might have still nurtured.

G's path to love has been clear from Day 1 and so not much thought needs to go into interpreting her motivations etc.

Now that they have found love, how are they going to combat the various challenges thrown at them and how are they going to sustain this love, in the face of the intrigue and betrayal that surround them. This is their story going forward and one am keen to watch.

My gripe has been with lack of coherence in storytelling, extremely poor editing and a poor narrative flow. If these issues can be addressed, i think they have a winner on their hands! Only if!

As always, we are on the same page here, Bertie. 👏

I just commented on Sim's thread too about how the pace of the love story has astonished even the man himself...and how the shield the man has created around himself has blinded probably even Gayatri regarding the true depth of his feelings. He is not going to be vocal about it...as far as G knows, he has just reciprocated her feelings as a 'samjhauta' which is how she describes them even now! Had she not persevered behind him, he wouldn't have let his guard down and fallen for her...???

Is that why she doesn't feel they are a team? That at every step of the way she'd have to prove herself...because their relationship is not based on blind trust? If so, somewhere down the line, Ranaji would have to make it expressly clear to her...that she just cannot walk away from this relationship at the drop of a hat. He is simply not going to let her!

We don't know yet. Suspecting it should be doesn't make sense to do it before

Th guy was drawn to her from the very beginning, it was shown subtely and in a composed way, there was always something about this girl that made him turn to look at her everytime he meets her, it was easy for him to remember that she was the same girl he met in the library, he turned to look at her one last time after the drowning accident. The day of the mandir, he had a peaceful conversation with her, someone who is already upset at the course of events would have felt a little irritated with the red pouder falling on him, he didn't, he just had a calm conversation with her, where he somehow gave insights of himself, and she inspired him so much trust that he gave one of his priceless possessions to her, his dead wife's kangan, I know he felt unworthy of it because he accepted the marriage deal but still he could have just hidden it somewhere, left it at the mandir, there was no need to give it to a stranger, and in this scene once again he turned to look at her one last time. In wedding day when he saved her from Saroj and she was bandaging his hand, the looks he gave her were so intense, he felt affected by her care and by her proximity, it seemed like for a while he forgot that she is the person who trapped him into the marriage. In short, whenever there was no events to remind him that she is a liar, or make him feel he is being disloyal to his wife, he was very aware of her and tender!


I watched a VM, it had some of the scenes I talked about, I myself almost forgot many of those details amidst the drama!!!!!!
