The Great Divide

Originally posted by: AllThingsNice

This couple is really suffering from the seven year itch. Even though they were not together for eight of those seven years. A matter than can be sorted by a simple conversation or a good fight blows out of proportion. Ah! I remember! HD needs tracks to run. So, we arrive at The Great Divide with Rishi and Indira on either side. Rishi has the Sharma Family on his side and Indira has her usools. I'm already beginning to wonder about the point of this track because from their individual perspectives, both are right.

The point being made by Rishi (not the Sharma parivaar) was right in essence. Principles without practicality is not possible in the world we live in today. Idealists in a practical, rough world tend to suffer more. South Indians on the forum would be familiar with the K Balachander film "Varumayin Niram Sivappu" (Zara Si Zindagi in Hindi) a film that dealt with this subject really well. Die hard fans, please do not kill me for comparing HD with it.

Indira is right too. The real world does function with money, but money ill-earned or money disrespected is of no use. Rishi admits his mistake, but more than once, Indira used the word 'aham' for him. Wonder what she was referring to because there was no trace of aham (ego or self importance) in whatever he said. He admitted his mistake and said that he would rectify it, but was in no mood to reason with her beyond a point. So, the line that she had drawn with chalk is made more permanent by him.

He used the word "ghamand" on her and even though there may be no pride in Indira, her highhandedness is often interpreted as that. But I did not understand why Rishi was so glad to have the nikamma parivaar on his side. If I were him, I would be heartbroken.

The party on Rishi's side of the lakshmanrekha and the absolute penury on Indira's side were slightly overdone. Meher sponsored the food and wine and everyone was happy to have it. This is what the writers want to show and so this is what we'll see. I was glad they showed Rishi trying to send her the food despite knowing fully well that she will refuse it. I wish her reaction to that was not so extreme "mujhe unse koi lena dena nahin rakhna" or some such. But again, this is how the writers want this, so...

Ten days later, we will see Rishi and his aham bite the dust, I suppose. Because this track cannot end any other way. Lets see if they get him to return the money which he so desperately wants to return. However this track unfolds, I'm pretty sure its going to be OTT and not in the least sensitive.

I'm already beginning to wonder about the point of this track because from their individual perspectives, both are right. Me too. Indira and Rishi both want to reach the same destination but by different roads. One thinks other is taking a shortcut whereas other thinks the shortcut is not often a wrong cut.😆. So, let me think like this that at the end of this track both may reach the destination at the same time and conclude that roads dont matter but the efficacy of the traveller to face the hurdles on their respective roads matter. Khadde toh dono raasto par aayenge. jo jitne asaani se un khaddo ko paar kare woh jeetega. Iss beech shortcut can become a longcut due to hurdles or vice-versa. Funda zyada ho gaya na .. jaane do .. Lets enjoy the zig-zag journey 😳. Hume kya.. Ila ke Lila . main toh shortcut aur long cut ko joint karnewala ek bridge bana dungi aur wahan se inn dono ko dekhungi😆

Indira is right too. The real world does function with money, but money ill-earned or money disrespected is of no use.

He admitted his mistake and said that he would rectify it, but was in no mood to reason with her beyond a point. So, the line that she had drawn with chalk is made more permanent by him.I love this gesture of rishi . He is never afraid of drawing lines or letting Indira go away from him.that is the trust he has in his love. he knows it is not going to go anywhere and will be safe even if it is away . There was a similar scene during saheb track where Rishi and Saheb were having a punja fight and Rishi showed a similar confidence in his love when he wholly concentrated on the fight and dint divert his attention to husna who was standing in his line of vision.

However, the scene today differs a lot in its behind-story form the scene i mentioned above. I just hope the line drawn with the paint solidifies and binds their hearts tightly before vanishing from the floor ! Ila mam, Paint ke hi ine rakhna .. uske upar bricks mat chadha dena

He used the word "ghamand" on her and even though there may be no pride in Indira, her highhandedness is often interpreted as that. But I did not understand why Rishi was so glad to have the nikamma parivaar on his side. Because, Only a nikamma can see the talent hidden in other nikammas. So, i agree with cvs here. And rishi knows how to get the work done from them.Earlier also indira would give up easily on sharmas but he always preserved his tricks for the worst and would end the game with those. Its like Rishi is building his kingdom and he has the support of few common people. In my sense,it is a good start. Atleast the kingdom has been opened. to make it a better place for others and existing population, He will have to intelligently work on the resources available. SAMRAT rISHI KI jAI😆 If I were him, I would be heartbroken.

The party on Rishi's side of the lakshmanrekha and the absolute penury on Indira's side were slightly overdone. Meher sponsored the food and wine and everyone was happy to have it.Aaj kal kuch zyada hi party chal rahi hai HD mein . I cant control my laughter everytime Rishi says AAJ RAAT KO YAHAN PARTY HOGI🤣.He looks so like a kid, least bothered about the expenses and only wanting to enjoy. Party ka itna hi shock hai cvs ko toh atleast RK ki Birthday party hi bata do yaar ! This is what the writers want to show and so this is what we'll see. I was glad they showed Rishi trying to send her the food despite knowing fully well that she will refuse it. I wish her reaction to that was not so extreme "mujhe unse koi lena dena nahin rakhna" or some such. kANAN, Hitler ka pyaar karneka aisa hi tareeka hai😳. be happy. Rishi was Happy😳. Ulta pheeka reply deti toh darne wali baat hoti😆😆But again, this is how the writers want this, so...

Lets see if they get him to return the money which he so desperately wants to return. However this track unfolds, I'm pretty sure its going to be OTT and not in the least sensitive.

Great Post kanan.. I hope i didnt spoil the charm with my bits of decoration with the brown. There should have been an emoticon that shows one yellow thing boxing the wits out of another. Would have used it here. I do this only when i enjoy your post thoroughly. I enjoyed the epi and i am keeping my fingers crossed for the last line of your post.i could see the glimpses of previous magic of Inshi and i wish they remain

Inshi rock ❤️

Kanan and Roshni's analysis is so superb that I don't have much to add :))

I think after a long time, I actually felt that Inshi's contrasting personalities worked to their advantage today- individually and for their relationship. This has become a rarity on this show now. I will borrow some of Roshini's optimism and hope that the change continues and the track does not lead down the much traveled "Jai mata di" path as always 😆 Hope karne se kuch nahin jayega aur waise bhi I'm fully prepared for jai mata di 😆

Idealists in a practical, rough world tend to suffer more

Kanu 😊, I have to somewhat disagree with this statement. I think idealists who feel that their principles are the ultimate truth and expect the world to follow and fall in line with their ideals are the ones who suffer (unncessarily if I may add). If you strongly believe in a set of principles/ideals then you should always be happy when you live your life by them- who cares if others follow them or not. And more importantly, one should find people in life (espeically a life partner) who share one's ideals and principles instead of spending one's life trying to impose on others around you- especially if one is unwilling to compromise and this process causes you and the other person grief.

While I agree with most of your point, the point in blue contributes to -- and is part of -- a much Greater Divide. For instance: I might not impose my ideals on you and expect you to follow them. But when I see things happening around me that require me to compromise my ideals, I will not give in. Even if you and I are merely colleagues in the same workplace (not as connected as being life partners), the dissonance and friction will be considerable. So, even if I do not care whether you follow my ideals or not, the fact that there is a majority out there that makes it difficult for me to follow my ideals in peace and for my own sake, is disturbing and is enough cause for friction. With the world at large.

I know I made no sense

Edit: What I'm trying to say is that ideals cannot be practiced in isolation. Its as much two-way as other things in life.

Do watch Zara Si Zindagi. Speaks about the exact same thing. Might offer some perspective on the point I made so poorly.
