So what do you think the outcome of Coin Toss was ? They dint showed it purposefully.
I am sure coin favored that he loves Gulaal. Well , love is not the word he has yet used. but am sure it was not the other way round coz it felt like he could get some sleep after the coin result but then all that got shattered in the morning.
Thats it you have nailed it - and that is what is lacking somewhat, that side of Kesar for her to see him in a way, i am pretty sure i said something kinda similarly last week or so - that the way Kesar is going and the way he is in how Gulaal sees him today coz of how he is... she is not gonna, i dont know which word to use - she isnt gonna feel a change in her and let him touch her heart in a gentle way - lifts her heart in a way, something that blushes inside, something kinda like how she did with the imli's...Originally posted by: trifolia
Lennie...again very nice to read your post!!
You know - Kesar is an extremely charismatic character being portrayed by a really talented actor - it is easy to empathize with him. Gulaal however is enigmatic (at the moment she is ) and perhaps the harder role to assay and I am glad they have an equally powerful actor (in ManasiP) to assay it. Your writing always reminds me - no matter how easy it is to be exasperated by Gulaal - we should indeed see things from her point of view and also understand perhaps how her world views are moulded by the boundaries of her village, upbringing and experiences. Post Leap - till now she has only seen the spoilt, rude, agressive and arrogant Kesar. She has also seen the drunk Kesar (it must have brought back the nightmare of Dushyanth's behaviour back to her) who tumbled into her room and the spiteful Kesar who wanted to tyrrannize Talli. Only very rarely has she seen the gentle, affectionate Kesar. I have always mainatined that Kesar represents the best and worst in all of his older brothers and yet is his own person. Till now Gulaal has seen the sides that repel her. Till she is able to see the gentleness and selflessness of Vasanth in Kesar, she will never be able to open her mind or her heart to Kesar. Love has an element of selflessness - and Kesar too has to display that. The precap made me wonder if Talli will teach him that - selflessness - the one quality that Gulaal herself has sought to emulate...

She does need to get somewhat comfortable, they still are not i guess in totally settled with one another - its very rarely that Gulaal has been with Kesar who is settled and calmWell said trifolia. Gulaal seriously needs to see the more softer and vulnerable side of Kesar in order to (at least) get comfortable in his presence.This way maybe then she would open her heart to him someday.
@underlined: I agree that Gulaal would be happy if she would see these qualities of vasant in him...but I really do not want her to expect anything from him apart from being responsible.In other words, I do not want him to be like Vasant was...he has his own identity and traits and I want Gulaal to like him for what he is rather than what he should be.I think he has some very good qualties also, but like you said they are all elusive for Gulaal and us viewers and maybe even to him.
Lennie and Praniti-Can we really do the blaming game in this show? Like Lennie always says we should see this show in every character's pov. For me there is no clear cut right and wrong.
Kesar is right in his pov, and because we the audience see his inner turmoil so much that we feel for him too, and that Neil man makes it even more difficult for us to get hold of our self. As a child he was brought into it, and he learned to live with it but never understood the real meaning to it. His thinking is so clouded with Vasanth's murder, G-D relationship and the deyrvattu, that he never been able to pin point his feelings. He never saw the deyarvattu as an issue, and why not no one really explained anything to him.
For Gulaal her world only revolves around Vasanth, his dream, his wishes, where she is not able to think beyond that, because her intentions are good. And Kesar to her is not so easy to understand after his return, is he? To her he is a man filled with anger, irritation, hatred and so much of negativeness. Forget love, she doesn't even know if he likes her.
For Thalli she was fed with it from childhood and doesn't think so much beyond what she sees. It is a big thing in a village for a wedding to break up. That is why Suda is concerned about Thalli's image and honour. Although she had lot of clues before the marriage thing.
JK-she doesn't know about V murder, as a mother and a character with a grey shade, she voices her opinion in a bitter way.
Poonamba-as a mother it is like a last chance to save her daughter's life. She doesn't wish ill of Thalli, it is just her daughter's life she is worried about.
Can anyone tell me why MB didn't break the deyarvattu when he found out about it? I forgot.
We see Kesar on one side and the rest of the family on the other because no one knows Kesar except us the audience, not even him. And the family knows in and out of Gulaal's intention that is why everyone is asking questions to Kesar.
In my personal experience with this show, whenever I ween or whine about something, I get the detailed explanation in the following episodes. The CV's are so clever and detailed in this show that I often feel embarrassed of my posts. That is the uniqueness of this show. The show gives us clue as to the next track but never the way we all predict. We need a lot of brain digging in this show too.
Sorry for the long post. Just my random thought.
MB-K-convo- was fabulous, what a father should do and how.
Lennie-I am really tired of praising ur post and running out of words so now on it is just a mutual understading, that I adore ur post wether I tell u or not. deal?
