Wow! what an episode and what an equally beautiful analysis! I have been through all the comments in this post and it feels like looking at a mountain from different panoramic view points. There isn't much that I can add to what is already covered in this thread.
For me, symbolism in today's episode (espacially thae last chase to engagement scene) seems to be as if Maan is telling Geet that there comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever. Life's circumstances are not always what you might wish them to be. Beyond any understanding, you may at times be led in different directions that you never imagined, dreamed or designed. Yet if you had never put any effort into choosing a path, then perhaps you should let me show you the directoin. Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction your life has taken, accept the fact that there is a path before you now. Shake off the "why's" and "what if's" and rid yourself of the confusion. Whatever was - is in the past. Whatever is - is what is important. The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here. Walk your path one step at a time, keep your head up and cast your dreams to the stars. Soon, a path that you have never imagined will become the most comfortable direction you could have ever hoped to follow. Keep your beleif in yourself and walk into your new journey along my side. You will find it rejuvenating and fulfilling.
