I love the characterization of Panditayen. She is a simple woman, she has had her share of trouble but on the whole she is an average woman. So is her love, a simple, uncomplicated love. She falters at times. Did she look at Ladoo more than Anami ? But today when her children came home it was simple love and joy. No conditions. She had feathered her borrowed nest for them in anticipation. A clean home, simple food made by her hands. No extravagant gestures. She does not have the means for it. But hers is the love that will go to jail for her kids, that leaves everything and goes in an instant. The clothes stitched by her are weird and unfashionable but wearing them is like being hugged always by her. What will a child raised by her give up to have this ? Money, jewels, a palace, a place on the board of a successful business. All these pale before the love of this insignificant woman, Panditayen for whom she ran cross country. It's because this woman never cheats, never demands, never threatens. She scolds, she corrects, but she loves unconditionally, mostly and that is the umbilical chord that binds Anami to her more than any umbilical chord from the womb.
Contrast that with Satrupa. Her idea of motherhood is money, power, toys, material goods, material goods, material goods. She is a bully, she threatens people like Poonam. Harms them. But the daughter raised by Panditayen, Anami inspires a loyalty so fierce in Poonam that even scalding tea cannot erase it. Anami had nothing to offer, only was herself. She treated Poonam as a person, an equal, was kind to her, gave her friendship. That is why she is loyal. That is something Satrupa can never buy with all the money in the world. Even from her own children who both ran. Why is that ? What made Satrupa such a bitch of a woman ? I intentionally used that word. She was a bitch today, Sorry if I offended anyone. I have no tolerance for people who torture people who are powerless. This would have been Anami if she had been in LM. This is her khoon. This is what the khoon is of the person who cut the tutors hair. This khoon, this gutter khoon masquerading as royal blood is redeemed by the upbringing of the Pandits.
I love that Adi saw why Anami risked so much and ran to the Pandits. He saw what a mother is like, an intact happy family. It will spur him, give him a reason to stand against the LM Bahu. Today Satrupa and Sudha are the same to me. Both used their children. Is Satrupa capable of killing the Pandits ? Why not ? She has killed before and those were people who harmed the heir. In this case, the Pandits are harmful to Anami in Satrupa's view I guess. I am going by what is presented to me. I would really like to know what made Satrupa like this. We know why Sudha is like this, but what made Satrupa the way she is.
Who knows what will happen in the fire but if Pandit and Panditayen or one of them dies, I don't think Anami will ever come to LM. She will invoke the protection of the courts and Adhi will side with her. Say goodbye to your golden goose Satrupa. Matlabi Mata must die, the LM Bahu must die. I am waiting for the reckoning.
