the truth and value of the words that Viplav speaks outweigh the precious metal gold. In fact its enlightenment that is priceless. That which removes barriers of all types created by caste ,colour or creed. To love..

Hello all,

So we get the point .. a cat dies outside your doorstep and somehow you are directly implicated for its death , custom says a gold cat is to be donated to save one self from the "pracoap" of the gods. And as said yesterday its the fear instilled in us of the repercussions of not following the norm that makes us perform these customs without question. To think of it maybe we all do it in some way or the other - big or small. Follow rules without questioning them coz that how it has always been.
yes..its our fear of ill omen in our lives..its hard to shake off . may be way of live..
Dhani feeling guilty of having been the cause of the death is under pressure further added by PCs visit and the threat of a boycott. Kanak sitting on the sidelines is enjoying her plight happy with the fact that the poisoned halwa may not have resulted in her original intent it did manage to rock Dhani's boat . Viplav calls to assure her that this is not a cause to worry as he is with her rain or sunshine. She should not be considering to donate that offering in the first place. Dhani of course does not consider this as a possibility ask him to stay away from this one and that she will manage.
kanak.. is one who gloats at others sorrows
Kanak finds this to be a perfect opportunity to torment and degrade the poor soul Dhani . Oh so how do you propose to fulfill this demand ? You will ask your Ashiq for help. This is what you and your beggar mother want from my son , money , and who do you think this money belongs to ...beating and shaking the girl as a rag doll while she spits her venom. well done... brilliant simili
Hammie a while back in one of your responses to a post you had mentioned - Is it widowhood a curse or is it just a widow who is penniless ? And of course its the latter . One with no means and standing is the one who suffers husband or no husband. If Dhani comes into money tomorrow will Kanaks mentality change ? Maybe , maybe not. Wealth gives a lot confidence.
yes I too believe so... but its to break dhani morally too... in the scene dhani looks stronger, she does cry... but still keeps it together
But then I look at RL . Had she been the victim here would she stand up for this nonsense ? No she would give it back. The bottom line becomes that one needs to know where to stand up and fight and where not to . Dhani needs to learn that.
...true... but then dhani wants to win kanak over by her tolerance and patience.. bit like turn the other cheek over.. and wait for the offender to mull their actions..
Dulari her usual self wants to get away from it all . Why does my daughter have to bear this burden always . Her negative rant for once is ignored by Dhani who calmly explains that when faced with troubles one should find a way to deal with it and run away from people who care for you and are your family . TO me this seems to be the core of what Dulaari is and did when she was young in her past . Speculation indeed but any sign of trouble all she wants to do is run in the guise of protecting her daughter but when does running away resolve the issue , it just prolongs it.
interesting point ratna.. lets hope cvs pick up this point of yours👏
Dhani & RL rush to the mandir with a wrapped idol well within the stipulated time. DT joins PC and his gang of pandits wanting to see the outcome. PC is taken aback at the promptness and unveils the idol to find a cat made of clay ( that cat really looked ferocious ) . The pact was one of gold and declares a punishment - to be poisoned as the cat was , when Viplav walks in with the required goods. I am her would be husband , "please take this and get off her back' . Dhani not wanting any charity or help steps forward to say that she agrees to all rites and rituals but something that is related to money she does not support that . PC who has an axe to grind with her disagrees and proclaims that she will be banished from Benaras and if DT cannot support it then he too should give up his position. Vplav not taking the bait this time calmly asks - Who will make her leave , you ? YOu have an option here take this golden cat and be done with it...
this is what is often said in bollywood the poor are sparse on cash but rich in self respect..
DT continues to be the sly onlooker letting other people do his dirty work. He neither approves nor condones any action . The wolf in human clothing hiding behind the cloak . His exposure is going to be such a shocker !!!
yes he stood so noticeably mute yesterday to maintain his imagine but then we all know he is the one behind all this.. so irony for viplav.. locked as yet..
An episode with a message. Was it that customs should be questioned or was it that money makes the world go round !!! Does a clay cat outweigh a gold one ?
I reckon viplav replied to this one very clearly.. and what a slap phol chand got before all, here greedy guy here the money.. while the clay cat is received as an offering from dhani as a symbol of all of the little she has
Take care Hammie . talk to you soon.
thanks for a lovely comment ratna, enjoyed reading all of it .. much love hammie

Hey! 😊 hi spreeti good to see you

Glad i could come online...! Didn't want to miss your post...! THANKS for the post...!

oohh good .. like the sound of this😛

Loved your take...! Sure the custom didn't have any meaning...! It was only to snatch money from the people.The rich have no problem but the poor suffer. Because there the power of pandits is stronger, everyone obeys them.

very well put.. its like a vicious circle

DT is the mahapandit and Vip is his grandson thats the only reason why there is no one speaking against Vip, when he questions the custom.

but iam hoping they will think about what he says.. plus phool chand is likely to incite people again

I didn't want Vip to donate a gold cat but wanted him to raise his questions against it. But guess he just wanted to protect Dhaani. Little did he know that DT is his shield, ...time will change and so will life, when DT will be out of power- (once truth is revealed) Vip will be put into real test.

yes viplav suppying the gold cat.. was to expose religious leaders.. for sure.

Everything fails before simplicity. ViDha with pure logic can shut others mouths. even Dhaani with the strenght once given by VIp could bring the clay cat infront of the pandits- the orthodox society.

yes I believe they both put pressure on phool chand together

Thanks again for the wonderful post! Had a great time reading it.

Bye bye!!...😊 thank you spreeti for continuing to read the takes and for giving great comments.. much love hammie

hello dolly great to see you
]Great title Hammie... you deserve a Gold Star for your talent to come up with a superb write up of every episode every day...

and you too for giving fabulous feedbacks

Our superstitions that are irrational fear of the unknown outweigh our empirical knowledge to overcome such archaic beliefs that are foisted upon us by these greedy Pundits.

spot on , excellently expressed.. fear of dark destiny

Here it seems every one in Banaras is out to get Dhaani for every little thing that happens there,whether it is her fault or not.

phool chand and his likes windup anti widow notions..

Dhaani wrestles with her dilemma to produce a gold cat by the next afternoon prayers is indeed in a bind and her prayers to Tulsi Maa enlightens her way to a solution .

yes this is a key point which i ovrlooked..

I will skip over the rantings of Kanak to humiliate Dhaani with vitriolic insults that does nothing but angers me more than necessary...the gall of KT in not feeling an iota of shame for planning a human beings murder and killing a living animal instead ,still does not feel any remorse but goes on to put salt on the wounds of Dhaani for being too good to feel sorry for a poor little cat..

but no where is there evidence thatKT actually did the act.. trips killed sanbu and dhani killed the cat

The ever present supporter of Dhaani ...Viplav comes to save the day with a gold cat to present the evil PC and his need to torture and humiliate Dhaani and see her punished for the crime of killing a poor cat.

the scene worked out well in the temple

I wonder what kind of punishment will be meted out to you PC for all the crimes you have committed in the name of religion.😡

kicked out of Banaras for good!

The silence of DT there was surprising when he asks for more time to mull over this

dilemma ,when he being the Maha Pundit could have stopped all this drama by PC with one word.

but he wants to play referee .. in this game

What DT did not do ,his grandson did it with aplomb in shutting PC and his ridiculous demand for a gold cat for his greed.

yes he sure did! and not minincing his words

If only people had faith in the Almighty and not in these Pundits and their silly fear spreading of such antiquated beliefs to control the populations and take their hard earned money to feed their hunger for power.

sadly its a sophisticated trade.. as long as vunerable are ruled by fear.. the strong will take over

Thank you Hammie for your uplifting break down of the episode.

thanks for going through my thoughts and then responding by a great feedback

Take care and spread your special joy of writing to all.
hey feel so good being loved.. dolly my love to you and the girls .. yours hammie

bravooo! 👏⭐️ throughly enjoyed the comment encore!
Phool Chand has real cattitude.
yeah big cat teeth erhh incisors!
Dhani has become catatonic with grief and confusion
attacked by cat woman
Kanak needs a cat-scan of her brain to see where all this badness comes from
and then sent to looney refuge
Did cat get DT's tongue, especially when Phool Chand was demanding his resignation from mahant-ship?
one bob cat sitting on the facia of the roof watching when to pounce
Viplav really tried to be a catalyst for transforming people's silly ideas.
and he very nearly did
Duari categorically wanted to leave Benaras.
😆 yes .. because whose to bell kanak cat and phool chand bob cat
All this much ado about cat is giving the audience a dose of excessive catarrh.
soo this is what you get up too! was missing your input... haaa haaa😆 its a good thing I popped by! for me curiosity didnt kill the cat , but gave me a witty ,funny , comment..😆 thanks mate and hope you'll be landing soon... much love ever yours hammie 😆
