IKRS Wednesday 3rd February 2016 ep 154 My Take juggling balls of deceit in the air!
In life what may prompt action out of some people is their own driven conviction to achieve the unreachable, by foul or fair means whatever the predicament may be. The strong in character follow their call with noble intentions. However for the morally weak, another dare !or taunt! can propel them into action to prove a point. This episode to me deals with taking up the gauntlet to reach an ongoing intent. If we cast back our mind back to the drinking session between Kanak and tripurari , we find as usual Kanak yet again jeers tripurari for his in adequacy in creating a rift between Viplav and Dhani. Tripurari keeps her heckling in mind, and fans his own ulterior motives in creating a aperture between the lovers. This episode is yet another ignoble endeavour by tripurari to prove to his adversaries that he can still perform an action which can cause rumblings.
In the upper room Viplav looks expectantly into Dhani's eyes. Any time now she's going to say ,she loves the kangan and who knows she might even say ayee love you. , he raises his eyebrows impatiently waiting .But what she says is nowhere near what he anticipates.. I met tripurari today.. Dhani tells Viplav.. triprari mocked me, so you are desperate to know the truth? and so you shall take a look at that grand old tree with its spreading branches ..Cleverly , tripurari referred to a majestic tree that stood in the temple courtyard and cunningly he used the metaphor of the foliage laden green tree complete with its array of green branches and compared it to Dashrant tirpathi and the wider branches as his children while the smaller and narrower ones as his children's children . Bitterly and in fury he then referred to the branch of the tree that ended up on the road side downtrodden, said he was that broken branch! but nevertheless connected to the tree as the branch came out of the grand old grand old tree. Dhani tells Viplav, tripurari claimed that he is maha guru's illegitimate son! who was never acknowledged by his father, now he feels he has rights over everything dashrant has. She tells Viplav , that he says he will make your life miserable.. Dhani says she was sceptical at his tall tale as he is a compulsive liar but he used strong words and rather dramatically impressed upon her why would he have any joy in calling himself.. an illegitimate?? Viplav on his knees before Dhani literally turns his face the other way in shame ,then walks away from her. he cannot face her, he himself doesn't know what he feels?after hearing what Dhani discloses. He hears her voice I know you are shocked..but Viplav's whole existence receives a jolt , what is he to think about his dada ji? about this tripurari who is a lying toad amy way? he hears Dhani say behind him.. usually don't believe him , but this time even if I want to, I tend not to disbelieve him. For the first time in my life I saw a both anguish and rage in tripurari's eyes against maha pandit . I don't know what's true? and what's a lie ?but I am frightened vikil babu.. I thought I should let you know .. Viplav turns around and tells her she did fine by letting him know .. but for now he needed to mull things over.. on his own
Viplav leaves and walks aimlessly on the narrow roads of the ashram , he feels like a shadow that looms forward with the light falling behind him , before him is smoky and unclear.. he needs the light of information.. some lads sat around a fire to keep them selves warm. Viplav sat on the edge of a shop slightly away from them.. the news froze his blood in his veins he needs warmth to make him think straight .. Dhani too said tripurari lies, but she too believes what he said to her... ooohh goddd.. Viplav s brow creases slightly ..
Dhani recalls the tripurari's wedding day .. he had accused gurudev as using him for all his dirty deeds.. Viplav recalls how his dada ji had suffered a heart attack.. could what tripurari told Dhani be true then? Viplav recalls ,Dhani said she saw an anguished rage in tripurari's eyes against maha pandit... the fire just smouldered and smoke rose up with the flames .. such a big revelation.. so many questions to ask , but from whom?? should he ask dada ji he muses .. but he decides , nooo first I need to get to the bottom of this claim.. the truth behind it , who knows this time it might be a conspiracy to trap dada ji?? Dhani too wonders is anyone else involved in this conspiracy?? It's interesting to see that both Viplav and Dhani when it comes to anything that tripurari comes out with , they smell conspiracy. Also Dhani tells Viplav what she thinks about the claim, but this time Viplav makes up his own mind to decide which course of action he will take? he could have taken the easy option and asked Dashrant straightaway ,but he decides to probe the matter further on his own first..
Viplav begins his investigation into tripurari's allegation.a door to door government run open a bank scheme agent visits tripurari and coaxes tripurari to open an account and for that he needed no money ,just his identity details. Once on his person the so called agent delivers tripurari's photocopied details to Viplav.. tripurai sees Viplav with the information and mocks him,like babaa's mother mocks him.. Viplav babbaa have you given up practicing law and taken up to private detection? with the tripurari's information in his hand. Viplav asks him icily is Dashrant tirpathi your.. his voice falters before he completes.. your father? Very boldly with no chance of ambiguity , tripurari replies yes guru dev is my father.. standing tall but face to face with this scum bag , Viplav receives the word from the horse's mouth .. and Viplav firms his mouth andbriefly throws back his head . closes his eyes and takes a deep breath... and then tripurari continues , you can say he's more to me than a father, he's like god himself he gave me and my mother refuge! since child hood till date he's looked after me! my whole life is indebted to him ,so according to all this he is my father isn't he? Tripurari spins balls of deceit in the air! Viplav narrows his eyes and peers into his face.. what are you up to tripurari ? playing games? did you not tell Dhani clearly that you are dashrant tirpathi's illegitimate son? Ohhh my god what a big lie! Why would I say that to Dhani? would I taint my father like guru dev's name just like that? I have said no such thing! Yes I did say to Dhani ji..that guru dev is just like my father! I think she misheard me.. viplav glares at him and tripurari delights inside at his innovative move and says to Viplav in half jest what's with you babaa.? What ever happens you boil it all down to me! you come and ask me, why don't you ask Dhani ji? about all she told you? Tripurari can see Viplav is anxious and thus its up to Viplav now! to consider who he wishes to believe him or Dhani? Tripurari is pleased with his score,.. for Viplav it should not have been too difficult to see that yes , once again the toe rag is up to creating doubts and playing games with both him and Dhani..
Dashrant rocks in his designated rocking chair and muses in the privacy of his room. Eversince the death of his on shambu.. Its like a power struggle in his house between him and this getting too big for her boots bahu ji.. ideally he would kick her out of Ayodhya niwas , but it would upset Viplav. What does he do? Agitated dashrasnt paces , he has to reinforce his power , all his wealth coming from various sources, status he possesses ,he can see its going out of his hands , as he suspects that Kanak may join forces with tripurari and both may be who knows? are hatching a conspiracy against him he has to end it ..there is no rest for the wicked, always preoccupied with amassing wealth , hanging on to it or plagued with the fear of losing it into the hands of another. Dashrant opens his inexhaustible box of tricks and for the minute targets Kanak and how he would manipulate her from leaving this place for sometime.. if not forever for a bit to give him a breather..
Now tripurai's performance goes beyond just splitting Dhani from Viplav. It also puts doubts in Dhani's mind about Dashrant as well too, may be he is also involved in creating misunderstandings between Viplav and her? She recalls how he brought the ashram papers to her and blamed Viplav for it, stopped her from giving it to him ..may be she should tell Viplav about all this incident too? muses Dhani.. Viplav phones her and says he wants to meet her , and she tells him she has something to say to him as well.. he tells her, what she told him yesterday .. tripurari has flatly denied it.. and Dhani screams he's lying he said he was guru dev's and viplav stops her from going further ,he doesn't feel to good at all.. listening to that word..
Dashrant suddenly pulls up he's ready to manipulate Dhani yet again with his empowering words to her. He praises her efforts at changing Viplav from a careless ,devil may care lad to a responsible , self respecting man when he spent time at the ashram ,he got an ew lease of life and changed for the better. Now he wants her to turn around kanaks life. As being a widow she is accustomed to a life of luxury and comfort. Dashrant wants Dhani to accept her in the ashram .. and show her the ruddy and rough side of a widows life. Dhani is terribly reluctant but he blackmails her ,begs her to settle his family problem..and says , she has to as Kanak is like a mother to her.. acts before Dhani that it would give him immense joy if Dhani settles Kanak in the ashram.. so yet again Dashrant uses people to further his own motives by palming off a niggling problem he faces,in Dhani's direction..he uses Dhani's position, to in a way punish Kanak.
Mirror mirror on the wall who is still the prettiest widow.. why its Kanak tirpathi..preens herself .Behind closed doors she bedecks herself in heavy gold the precious metal she uses to accentuate her beauty ,also greedily hangs on to for its value.She grinds, I hate that tipurari he snatched the colours and funout of my life..but one day I shall strip him too she vows aggressively..
A knock on the door ,forces Kanak to come out of her indulgent married ..woman look back to a simple ,austere widow appearance.. well very nearly.. she still has a kangan on. Dashrant and dadi enter and dashrant puts a ready packed cabin size suitcase on the floor for her. He tells her straight, in keeping with the widow hood tradition ,she has to observe a seven day worship routine that has to be carried out in the ashram not at her home. She argues , and he delights in telling her that this worship she will carry out for her husband shambu's soul.. and rather roughly and symbolically he pulls of the bangle ,his wealth off her wrist , and says icily she won't be needing this any more.. Kanak clearly unhappy to leave comes close up to him and looks up at his face like the face of death.. you are sending your bahu to the ashram babu ji . But keep in mind that any time, nothing can stop the angel of death from striking at any one at the ashram.. every dog has its day.. my time will surely come..
Dhani arrives as Viplav waits for her on the bridge . They stand before each other , he looks into her innocent big bold eyes and with a firm unsmiling mouth,as he peers for answers with his contracted eyes from her big bold innocent eyes. yet again tripurari's invisible presence stands between them..
Overall it was an episode full of dramatic performances from tripurari.. his idiocies can only make dhani and viplav come closer.. viplav needs her and Iam hoping they will resolve this tripurari nonsence tommorrow over the bridge..dashrant showed up as himself today.. kanak.. we all know what she'sgoing to get up to at the ashram.. I loved the viplav with the glazed ,lost eyes today.. but! he used his brains.. ok he was licked but he found out dirty dirty tripourari loves to play endless dirty games! so smile please.. ishq! ishq!.. hamlet 53 4.2.16
