IKRS Saturday 31st October 2015 ep 72 My Take
Sometimes being preoccupied by other issues overrides or interferes with the real purpose. It takes away the element of perseverance from a task.
Dhani waits before the closed front door to Viplav's house. No immediate answer ,her mother was right she shouldn't have bothered to come. Besides, now her mother must be waiting for her return. Dhani is possibly aware of how her mother usually reacts to her arriving home late. Viplav whistles a happy tune and unbolts the door, opens it but finds no one there! If only Dhani had waited just a little bit, if only Viplav would have a little quicker they would have met!However both think about each other and that in itself shows a silent subtle connection. Dadi asks who it was ? Viplav replies no one. Dadi shows him the platter of sargi she made for his mother, along with the platter of ladoos for the women of the Ashram. As usual Viplav wastes no time and decides he needs to leave for the Ashram. Kanak comes by and Viplav manipulates. Craftily bends his mother's elbow by appealing to her maternal sentiments. kanak packs ladoos for the Ashram widows. She grinds her teeth, as enraged she chucks in pure ghee ladoos for those poor puny widows. Swept and surrounded by her revolted absentmindedness, she shoves the sargi into the final compartment of the tiffin! Then secures the tiffin by pulling upright the two handles into place. What Kanak puts into place, Viplav opens and with his own hands, as he sets aside the tin with the sargi. The ladoos are ravaged by all. In the meanwhile, Dhani's missed delivery of the kheer is exposed, Viplav jokes in his dream he had some, but his dream snapped . Inderani tells him as it was.. and he seizes the moment to pull Dhani's leg! A rapid fire round happens between them under Dulari's sided watchful eyes!. It shows grabbing a moment of uninterrupted interaction nonstop question answer! but both end up squabbling! she came to his house and never bothered to meet him! She replies, she came to look in on Durga mai! She was in a hurry to return home to finish off the ngo work! He asks, did they come here? She says yes, he sent then ,he asks her, did he? She nods, he asks did they get an order? she replies, yes and happily he offers her a ladoo which she refuses.. so sulkily, he potters off and gives the laddo dhani refuses to Inderani.. Raj laxmi in no time finishes off a tin of ladoos and wants more.. Viplav picks up the first tin of sargi left aside but before that, she is given another tin of ladoos to eat and Viplav puts down the tin of sargi aside..for it wasn't really meant for Raj laxmi was it? many thanks is offered to dadi via Viplav for the tasty ladoos. In flair he says not a problem! she was making sargi and hence she made laddos alongside as well..
Viplav shows off his knowledge about karvachaut.. that it's a special day for a woman. She dresses up in fineries and preen herself ! is happy, and also fasts! Suddenly he yells at Dhani! she likes fasting so why doesn't she fast as well? seeing the day comes but once a year! all are shocked by his words. .now would this proposal to Dhani be considered as Viplav putting his foot in his mouth? consider this, that on a number of occasions,Dhani refuses food from him on the pretext that she is fasting.. but by the look on the on every one face, it's a remark that is cruel and shows his downright insensitivity on his part! He later on confesses that he speaks without thinking and tries to make amends for his remark to Dhani.. Inderani explains as widows , it's not possible to pray for the longevity of our husbands ? Viplav feels quite stupid and thus Dulari cuts in, if he doesn't have enough knowledge about something, then in case, it's best not to poke his nose in their business! seems that he became a lawyer by buying his law degree with cash ! Viplav is tongue tied and then chaiya kaki explains, that Dhani became a widow so soon, within less than a year of her marriage. She couldn't even celebrate that day. Viplav looks at Dhani regretfully and admits Dulari is right , wish he could pay money to get his mouth sealed! he asks to be forgiven for his untimely prattle!.. he goes up to Dhani and stands before her shamefaced and looks down into her sad eyes.. sorry mate.. look forgive me, you know I am stupid. I know my question must have hurt you terribly. but as a friend I can do one thing.. if you wish to share your husband's death and share your grief with me. you'll feel lighter , and I'll be happy to listen to you.,, in fact not just you dhani , all of you can talk to me. I am happy to listen .. and Dhani abuptly walks away and he looks puzzled has he once again blabbed nonsense? he whinges and admits he talks too much without thinking! he speaks from his heart! Inderani,is less militant and more tolerant than Dulari, she says, she values his sentiments and shares, theirs is a private grief imbedded within their hearts which they prefer not to share with others. ..especially not with a happy person like him as they don't wish to unduly saddened him with their emotional burdens.. Viplav in discomfiture begs to leave..
Back in the haven of his room, Viplav aims the ball at the basket net, in the privacy of his room and wrestles with hard ugly facts he finds out today about a young ,gentle innocent girl, who has just begun her life! hardly a few years has she seen, before she realises her role of a wife.. by some unexplained turn of fate ends! she is thrown into another role.. a role where she lives life but is banned from celebrating it! there is great disparity about all this. no justice! and here he propagates justice and fairplay! What a pity! so incredible to live her whole young life without a husband? a companion? she's just a girl.. with desires! what of them?? next year Dhani will celebrate karvachaut..
When all go to bed, she spots one unopened tin, it's as if it calls her and she comes to it and holds it.. opens it and deduces, no one ate this?
Viplav stands before his open window and looks up to the dark firmament and mutters decidedly , I will have to get her married again and replace colour back into her life! and that's final! Love love love..
Well if no one has eaten it then I surely will and Dhani carefully and tenderly brings the sargi to her mouth with one hand.The other hand she cups under the food.. to devour it with much love and devotion..
Viplav looks the other way as she eats the sargi.. the color of my love is white my friend ..it's not just me who says it .. the whole universe rings with it ..the color of my love is white my friend.. love 's color is white.. Dhani enjoys her sargi.. and Viplav sits in his room.. how can she live such a life at such a tender age? Dhani chomps away happily.. Viplav moans if once destiny has not stood by her ,so what? love is drowning in a whirl pool.. but why destroy yourself?.. remarry again! besides anyone will marry a girl like Dhani! he's colored in the color white . he wants no other color. .the color of my love is white my friend..
Dhani asks Jhumki to come with her to the Shiv temple.. Dulari yells , Dhani stay at The Ashram, besides all married women will be fasting and praying for their husbands. The last person they want to see is a widow!. Jhumki goes in a strop as she wants to go gadding about. Dhani tries to feed her. she refuses and Dhani says she won't eat anything either.. she'll fast too till next morning.. so seems Dhani is fasting..Viplav arrives and presents jhumki with a doll.
Dasharant seems frustrated when he is faced with two women who have dressed up for his pleasure and who are fasting and praying for his long life.. however due to Viplav pressure he ensures that he compliments Sushma . He gets a phone call from the ngo women,they give him the good news that his job has been done.
It is time for jhumki to go home her mother arrives with a police officer to collect her daughter. Her mother is reprimanded by the widows for leaving her daughter with just any one. Her mother admits, the man had said he would look after her. She is a widow with three daughters hence she took the unwise step of trusting that man.. Viplav sees in his face the plight of a widow with children.. the steps she is forced to take to bring food to the table.. eventually Jhumki bids farewell and Viplav says it's' not goodbye ,he'll bring her back to visit the ashram once a while..Viplav leaves too as the police ask him to complete paper work ..
Knock at the door postman asks for the owner of the Ashram Viplav tirpathin! This is a jolt.. Registered post arrives for Viplav.. lots of speculation why he is referred to as the owner of the Ashram?the widows give justifications to why registered post has arrived at his name to the Ashram? but it is something that the widows didn't know ..dhani didn't know either..
Preparation for karvachaut ceremony in the garden at Viplav's home. Dhani finds Jhumki's bangle in the courtyard. Dhani picks it up her mother takes it from her and then mother and daughter express how they miss Jhumki.. a child brings joy to a household.. Dulari gives the red bangle back to Dhani and tells her to go eat..as she hasn't eaten anything since morning. viplav comes in and sees Dhani sitting on the bed looking at the red bangle in her palm.. the red bangle.. what girls like ,desire and want,it's part of growing up ,part of living and enjoying life. life that is fragile as a glass bangle.. Viplav stare at her from far and wonders , strange girl ,hasn't eaten anything all day yet still her face manages to look fresh..
seeing the episode makes me think..heavens he talks endlessly.. has a foot in mouth disease.. but viplav's heart is in the right place.. mind?š.. hamlet53 1.11.15
Precap: shalu shouts the moon can be seen.. Dashrant feeds Sushma .. at the Ashram Viplav and Dhani looks up at the moon feeds her.. she tells Rajlaxmi these look like important papers, she'd better tell Viplav about them. Viplav drives his jeep turns the corner, spots Dhani walking on the other side of the road..dhani! he yells and says give the papers! She replies what papers? some man came and he said you sent him, I refused to give them to him ,but he snatched them from me and ran off! Viplav replies..ok and then says ,this is the second time it's happened that some has snatched our papers and ran off!
