Indradhanush 3 - Page 87

Very beautiful chapters. Last few updates with that kid Nihar I felt a certain sense of anguish... even frustration may be even a little impatient that the kid was not falling in line with the marriage plans and celebration ... blah blah... bones in the kebab kind ..inspite of knowing that he is only a kid aged 10..11.
No ...not fair to the kid but such was an over powering desire for suvi to have it smooth ... as if Nihar agrees then life is going to be hunky dory though nothing could be more farther from that.

But when nupur's parents pain and helplessness is felt... it twisted something in my heart... I almost feel like as if I want to rewind that tape of life and erase the reel which had Nupur die or erase that portion of the reel where rutwik cheated on suvi so that things as it stands today wouldn't have to be witnessed... no feelings betrayed as such.

If I look at this, It makes me question my own sense of empathy ...if Nupur's parents pain on loosing their daughter is bigger or Nihar's pain loosing his mom any lesser. It has to be weighed on similar scales and yet not... Such is the nature of fickleness that we end up being unfair to even children ...Huh!!!

Beautiful Nisha.

When Neel's amma says she sort of betrayed nupur's parents by hurriedly agreeing to Neel and when Ruchi in turn comforts her amma saying by according a sanction to Neel's choice , she had given him a certain token of credibility that would have been otherwise absent, I felt that if amma in her attempts to find a partner arranged for Neel ...had she been able to convince Neel for an arranged one ... woudnt it still be betrayal then...to nupur's parents that they had to move on? I also remember Ruchi clearly telling
Neel that it was his shaadi to do and his life when he voiced his concerns about amma approving .

All the gupshup that the random guests at wedding are talking is still fine. It's wedding masala current entertainment. Nothing more .Tmrw they will only give a passing thought that oh Neel... yeah he married again... . They are just minor pests in comparison to people like Ruchi's husband who derives sadistic pleasure and empowerment taking advantage of the respect one accords to the son in law of the family.

Neel's family ...They have come a long way now with amma comforting the suvi is beautiful from inside too ... yet can't help get a feeling that suvi ( as Neel feared during his Delhi ridge proposal ) is going to get comparison and competition with Nupur as her wedding gift ... the odds are that.

How can Indradhanush be anything other than how Nisha pens. It's marriage under not normal circumstances and it's bittersweet as it should be .

Shruti...perhaps it is the fear of my becoming immune to the happenings around me makes me worry more...I accept that the odd death featured in the first page of the papers gets a cursory glance as the head says, Oh ! one more and the eyes move on...

But the senselessness and the depths people are falling to is scary and it seems like we are regressing in times, as humans, even as we have a whole bunch of other discoveries to be proud of alongside

Bittersweet shadi

Nisha, have always seen strong Suvi.

Two frame shots... one of Aadhya sleeping and the other Nihaar trying to get some. Completely moving.
One firmly in her childhood and the other on the cusp of pre adolescence but one who is still a child. Right from the moment he fears getting caught by his father for exceeding the techno gadget time limit to the moment when he exhausted from all the emotions he is feeling almost wanted to give in to suvi chucking away his loyalty and love for his mom... how many subtle emotions ... so tender and moving. Amma must be the most mentally tired adult having to handle stuff and her close ones here and Nihar must be the most weary kid with his struggles. For all his confusion , Nihar is still a kid who has been raised well wiith a lot of character.

We try parenting through power of parental authority sometimes or through the powerful bond of relationship. It's heartening to see suvi employ the second kind.

"You cant sleep?" Suvi repeated softly.

He slowly shook his head nervously.

"Mera room mein aane ka hai?" she offered kindly

His eyes sparkled briefly, he even made a physical motion of pulling away from the headboard and the pillow, but quickly slumped back on to it

He shook his head... unsure... whether to like or hate her.

"So jao Nihar" she said softly""

She asks Nihar to sleep but the question would be if she herself would be able to catch a wink of it. It's all pounding in but tmrw is another day on the brink when she will Barobar earn the 'mrs' tag legally this time around.

Beethi and Aasha ... so moving

Bole to...abha is mamaji's bahu, barobar?
