Here is my SYMBOLISM on the new AMNESIA track...do let me know what you think?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OMG 😲
Better late than Never...Sorry was jammed at the office and then at dentist office...and just to gain the sympathy of my fellow idiots/Maantians...i am telling you I watched the episode and wrote this take while I have throbbing pain in my molar tooth.😭
Vinu...this just goes to show you how MUCH I am looking forward to this TRACK...that even in pain...I am watching and writing, whereas during the Amritsaar track, I had totally stopped watching...and writing as watching was giving me Sooo much pain, that I never even imagined of writing.
So again...better late than never...here it is...plz do let me know what you think...
I took the entire episode a very symbolic CONTRAST between the Maaneet's old home, the
Khurana House vs. Maaneet's new house, The AMARNATH haven.
The Khurana house has changed...the look is much more modern/bourgeois now...
whereas when daadi and maaneet were living there - it was very classy, with refined a traditional look. I think this signifies the difference between WEALTH gained thru hard work (old Money) vs. WEALTH gained via an Easy, often illegal measures...(new money).
In the scene where Dev, Nano, and Lucky enter the Khuranan house, we see the Mirror on the bureau is shown to be reflecting the "IMAGE" of colors...a harmonious blend of different colors coexisting in one plane..signifying that What you see is not the reality, and that its not all HUNKY DORY among the inhabitants of this house.
We can also see the Candle with Stand in the far right corner - Why is its shadow so prominent... and it shadow too BIG?? Is this implying that APPEARANCE of the AURA is BIGGER than the REALITY? Pammi may present a big presence...but essentially at the end of the day she is of little standing...in her own words a mere AAYA...simply a caretaker.
Then we are taken to Maaneet's new house, it very quaint, well built, well covered by the trees.
Even the trees act to provide shelter from the Sun...a haven within a haven?
There are Columns all around the house not just on the portico...again signifying its STRENGTH is REAL, and VISIBLE not merely a REFLECTION or an AURA.
If you remember the episode where Maaneet are designing the DeMello's DREAM LOVE house,
they themselves said that they felt the most important attribute in a home is its NIEVE, its foundation or its support system. The AMARNATH Haven has columns that stand UPRIGHT all the time...similar to a foundation as they also are bearing weight and providing support.
This house is very SYMMETRICAL in its construction, signifying a lot of equality in the relationship of those who live here...they have mutual love...mutual caring...mutual standing - mutual rutba.
Then as Maaneet unlock the door to their new home...As Maan pushes open the door to the new house... a metal vase, a KALASH or sorts is on the floor and the action of opening the door makes the kalash roll...signifying their GHAR PRAVESH...an auspicious entry and an auspicious beginning of their new life.
Looking forward to tomorrow...wow I never thought I would say that about this show again!!😉😆

Editing to add more...
As I was watching the episode...I found my self pausing the video and actually taking notes of the things that caught my eye...my attention...and so I jotted it down...and i even began writing my ideas down...my whole interpretation of the NIEVE - Pillar-foundation analogy was written even before i saw the part of the episode where Maan mentions the word NIEVE...so imagine my surprise when I realized that my thought process was similar to writer, director, and creatives of the episode!!!😉 I really had fun watching it.
The other thing that had a profound impact on my perception and on my creativity, was the rolling of the kalash...it was done intentionally...someone on the team had enough vision to put the kalash there so that it would roll on their entry...hence making a silent declaration of a ghar pravesh...no?? This is what convinced me that someone on the CVs team is again paying attention to the minute details of the episode...and executing them in such a subtle non-blatant manner...leaving the viewer with an eyeful...to trigger their thought process...and bring out the creativity in their interpretation. That is talent...a talent that was on the GHSP team last year at this time...but one that disappeared for a long time...to yet again return. I am so glad that its back...the charm, the detail, the suggestion, the interpretation...
