IKRS 1st October 2015 ep 46 My Take
Sita maa stands, traumatized as she has lost a picture that clearly means the world to her.. she cries before Inderani andthen moves to Viplav as he is the one who arranged for the painting to take place. it seems he is once again at the receiving end of being blamed yet again , Sita maa asks him and then Dhani too jumps at him accusingly.. he of course denies any knowledge of knowing where the pictures are?but this time he snaps and challenges Dhani why on earth do you always pick on me?how would I know where they are may be they have been eaten by the wood worm and the workmen chucked them out in the bin outside.. Viplav didn't mean to sound to heartless ,but Sita maa crys hysterically and yells about the true value and meaning of the pictures for her.. they were pictures of her husband! which she looked at and started her day with! without that she cannot live! so why don't you throw me in the bin as well! she cries out at a put off Viplav.. he watches her swoon in trauma and the rest of the widows support Sita maa from falling on the floor.. Viplav stands over her as he watches her in such deep distress and he explains again, he truly didnt' know about the photo and Dhani snubs him yet again ,be quiet you! and he looks at her most perplexed.. and she continues and for your information let me inform you that I am not the grandchild of the affluent Dashrant Tirpathi! We are poor widows who wish to led a simple ordinary life! and you don't respect any ones emotions! have you have any idea how many of nanny's sentiment were attached to that picture? besides how did you decide whether to throw a photo that belongs to someone else? it was her dead husbands photo.. Dhani explains to him.. Viplav folds his legs and begs for forgiveness..maaji I acted without thinking ,without realizing the significance of the photo to you.. please stop crying and I promise I will search for that picture where ever it is! Viplav is terribly effected by Sita maa's condition..
Dashrant metes out his punishment to Kanak and uses two people whom Kanak dislikes and gradually will pressurizes her into doing something he desires..? he paces in his house looks down at his phone. it rings and he attends to it and Kanak borges in and begins to approach Ram's transfer .he signals to her to be silent and he bids Tripurari to enter the house.. this is without a doubt to irritate Kanak..and then to further annoy Kanak he reverts to Sushma and politely asks her to be seated..and further shows concern that she shouldn't stand for longer periods as her knees play up.. and when Kanak calls for his attention he shuns her attention by a wave of his arm span.. Dashrant 's commands, wants to know about Viplavs' doings Tripurari reports the facts , pest controlling , arranged one night accommodation in hotel and bought them all a meal too.. he's like a news presenter who imparts news to the three viewers Viplav's grandparents and his mother..but then he adds in his own opinion but it appears that Viplav babba is very happy because he has fitted well in the widows way of life,,and as for that Dhani ! babaa even assists her in the odd jobs like cleaning, moving things around the Ashram.. all of which is meant to influence Viplav's three present relatives. Dashrant shakes his head and comments as he openly glares at Kanak , how times change! Some one else starts the fire! and some other burns in it! he obvious sneers at Kanak you created the problem and someone else continues to swelters away .. Dashrant asks rather hopefully is there any news of Viplav returning home? Tripurari replies deviously ,not really as babaa immerses himself in the jobs of the Ashram as soon as he wakes up.. tripurai paints a menial servile picture of Viplav before his elders.. a man brought up in comfort and luxury now slogs away among the puny petty widows.. and serves them! .. Then a mothers love cries out as Kanak pleads before Tripurari ,then why don't you take me to him ,I'll speak to him! but Dashrant spurns her , I am not interested in listnening to idle nonsense! Kanak ji.. Dashrant then suggests yet another idea toTripurari , go tell Viplav ..his dadi is unwell as she has stopped eating ever since he left home! and he'll come running! but Sushma does question Dashrant ,would it be right to lie? and he questions her..do you want him to return home? she nods and he continues then surely you can pretend a little can't you?.. then he changes his mind and thinks of sending sweet alluring enticing props.. he tells dadi go get his favourite ladoos.. I'll send .. for when he gets them he'll be delighted that! assumes Dashrant and gives the container of ladoos to Tripurari!.. take these and give these to Viplav and be sure to add that whilst making these laddos her dadi's fingers got burnt in the oil! Do you understan what I mean? he asks Tripurari who nods and takes the ladoos.. Dashrant has no moral qualm's about systematic fibbing.. that starts small.. then progress on to bigger lie to achieve greater impact on Viplav so big that it might move him to return home with immediate effect.. also Dashrant's ploys to get Viplav back also shows to Kanak how much he loves his dadi in comparison to her,his mother..kanak agian attempts to say her bit but he attends to a phone call and tells the caller ,I am leaving and will be with you shortly. He informs with mock humility it was the pandits association , so have to leave.. and Dashrant leaves it's obvious that in order to win his favour Tripurari may have shown his might to the pandits forcing them thus into formally inviting Dashrant! to the function!
At the Ashram, Viplav filled with the desire to serve rather than be served , he leans over the gaping bins. The stench is unbearable but as much as he didn't wish to touch the filthy slimy smelly rank rubbish! still with bares hands he carries on with his search.. Dhani watches him from the ajar Ashram main door and walks away ,she obviously thinks , let him, he should have been more responsible!.. finally he finds what he is looking for and says much relieved to the picture sorry uncleji! by mistake I landed you in here! The bins are like social classes or mentalities of various sections of society .. upper middle and lower class each accepting widows of society whose lives are useless and cumbersome and therefore to be discarded as rubbish!..Meanwhile the widows rally around the weeping Sita maa who weeps, after so many years I had saved those last memorabilia of his and now I've lost them.. they were my only life line to still carrying on.. Dhani consoles her ,and Inderani reminds the old widow , Sita maayi you are the oldest here with the longest experience of life and who should know better than you ,that in our lives we all lack the support of our near and dear ones so what good is there in crying? Viplav comes in quietly with something tucked under the rear of his shirt.. he looks at the consoling party with doleful eyes and all eyes are on him need is a.. Dhani stands and confronts him , why are you here again? you are still not satisfied by giving her enough grief that you've turned up again! stop doing us any more favourS ! just leave! and Viplav replies calmly.. all you need is an excuse to yell at me! I came here to ask nanny.. what was her husnand's name! speak up dadi..and she says subidaar ranjit singh! and he says proudly superb! as he moves to the nearest table and says ,when your husband was such a handsome man! then his name has to be magnificent too! and he moves to reveal a quad picture frame with her husband's photos! and he points to the frame of old sepia photos of an age gone by.. but for one he who still lives in the heart of a loving wife .. widow Sita..the widows smile and Sita maayi stands up goes to the frame and reaches out for it frame and clutches it to her heart... Viplav stands close to her and says gently , dadi you'eve found the pictures now ,so why are you crying now ?.. can I call you dadi?and she says yes of course ..and she says I don't know what not I said to you in my anguish.. and Viplav says with a smile , by the way I called my dadi princess! He looked around and translated princess.. Raj kumari.. thing is when I was a child I was very scared of fiends and ghouls! So dadi always kept me very close to her.. she sang lullabies to me , told me bedtime stories.. with them I couldn't get to sleep.. when I see you I am reminded of my dadi .. then he holds her hand and pleads dadi I hurt your sentiments unknowingly.. a few days ago I hurt my own dadi's sentiments too.. this scene shows the finer ,gentle, softer side of Viplav to the widows.. he clearly identifies and hold in high esteem Sita maayi, reveals to her and all that he thinks of her as his own dadi he draws a tender picture of the bond between a grandparent and grandchild it's human sentiments he refers to here. when he shares his own experiences as achild, Inderani.. is saddened as it's an experience she's missed out on probably. He plays on the word Raj kumari a title he gives to Dhani and he tells her that he calls his dadi princess.. his reference to ghouls is of course angled at Dhani the scene helps in clearing up his image as well he acknowledges his mistake ,makes amends and perhaps receives a wee bit of the widows respect, Dhani seems moved .Suvarna [yeahhh!] turns up and says vilkal Sahib.. Tripurari has come out side to see you..
Tripurari is mighty impressed by the decoration.. and he congratulates Viplav for his effort but viplav confesses that even for this they pulled him to bits and then he says tell me why are you here? and he says , I bear gifts from your dadi Viplav snatches the container and pulls a bit of the ladoo and tastes it,, Tripurari says hold on actually your dadi is very angry with you for putting up here with the widows, but inspite of her having a temperature she still made the ladoos for you..viplav puts the ladoos aside and says ,has dadi got a fever? and she pulls out the phone and phones her.. and she sounds fine but then when he asks she says fine! but she adds while making the laados my hand slipped and I singed it and he looks at Tripurari and said you had fever and dadi who is lie proof.. says in all honesty that was decided first! but then the burn was chosen that Tripurari must have forgotten she blurted!then she realized the slip of her tongue.. Tripurari shakes his head and Viplav smiles at his dadi's manipulative tactics ! So princess you cooking up excuses to call me home? well I am happy to hear this, but you know, can't come home till I don't finish work here.. so it's your blessings I need and she blesses him and he ends the call and then he jokes with Tripurari so I can see now brother! that you too have joined forces with the rest in making a fool out of me, tripurari apoogizes and leaves but then Viplav calls him as he leaves, Tripurari..find out in a couple of days about that man who got ours photo printed in the newspaper as I have to sort out pending business with him..
Dshrant addresses the pandit meeting , and asks, questions about my wealth were never asked before so why now? the head pandit says , we have been hearing many stories about your finances. This is a blot on our names as well and so we are thinking, that it is not possible to keep you as head pandit.. and we also know your grandson lives amidst widows in the Ashram.. we want you to sort this as soon as possible.. otherwise we'll have no other option but to remove you from the mahanta post.. much to phool chands pleasure Dashrant says, if you think it's bringing disrepute to your good name I am prepared to hand in my resignation right now.. but allow me a grace period so I can locate the man who has falsely maligned me.. and phool chand looks at him mockingly.. dashrant says, I too swear by bhole Nath that man will not escape from my anger...
It's the 1st of October today hence, To me this scene has been added for entertainment and as a reminder.. but more so the episode , by adding this scene, marks the festival of Halloween an American traditional day 31st oct that celebrates blackcats, broomsticks, witches, warlocks , pumpkins and all the forces of evil and darkness.The main pitch by business and marketing world is to create a buying frenzy amongst the public, that which happens on valentine day..so now Halloween too is a big event where the general public is fleeced well and good! by the wide range of merchandise that is circulated in the shops to make money..
Night time in the Ashram Viplav sleep with a white sheet over him slowly the sheet is pulled away from his face.. he pulls it back and slowly it's pulled down again ..alarmed he walks up and sits up on his bedding and looks around and all he sees are white ghostly shrouded sheets. He goes to the window opens it hears a sound and gets frightened! next, he sees a silver anklet moving on the bare floor .. frightened his teeth chatter and he winces in fright..and he gives a muffled cry what is happening?he s spots the sliding backwards anklet. He pipes up courage and pounces on it then gets up as Eit is pulled out of his room and he stands in the dark corridor. then he looks around and says to himself scared stiff ,,oooh viplav stop it! there's nothing to be scared off nothing here.. and then suddenly he sees a figure in white with long black parted hair carrying a candle coming towards him ! slowly it moves towards him and he tells the figure to stop! wags his finger and with chattering teeth calls out top right there!!
But it doesn't and he runs calling for the gods, races down the stairs, across the courtyard towards the front door.. Dhani and Suvarna stand on the fist floor and Dhani says, see I told you this was the easiest idea to get rid of him! Suvarna says we got our room back and they hug !they go to his room and look at his bed and Dhani picks up his cloth on his bedding and chucks them aside ,what a dirty boy! such a coward ! Suvarna says we've got our room back! and Dhani can you close the window! and before she does a human skeleton appears there ! and Dhani screams arghhh! And she falls back on the bed! she points to the window but nothing is there then suddenly the skeleton is hanging right above their heads and they bought scream loudlyand while the moble skeleton hangs about the girls runn screaming out of their room. In the corridor they come across a skeleton figure marching towards them ! it walks towards them and they both walk back wards!! itwalks as it waves it's arms about! and they run down the stairs.. and by now ball the widows gather around the tulsi plant in their courtyard as the ghoul figure in black and white bones comes down the stairs towards them!! does a performance gig a mig! before them!but they all run to the front door ready to run out and with a cackling laughthat rattles around the courtyard.. the figure switches on the light as they stare at the figure before the kitchen.. it cackles hysterically! Then slowly he pulls his head mask off! and bows his head , Dhani stares at Viplav! as long there is an audience,Viplav never fails to give a performance..
Sorry for the rushed post wasn't at home so quickly put this together... Hamlet53 2.10.15
Precap : Dhani screams you left the place how come you came back? and he says if you can become a witch! then why can't I become a skelton?
