to turn a deaf ear!

IKRS Tuesday 8^th March 2016 ep 183 My Take ~ to turn a deaf ear

It would be true to say that living organisms express themselves to prove they are alive. Humans are a marvellous machine that express themselves in thoughts, words, deeds and action. We are a unique creation that embodies functioning's of the heart, mind and the soul. The heart that contains the pulse of our sentiments.The mind that contains our sense of reasoning and the soul that makes up the essence of our character. Thus as humans we need to communicate our needs and wants to each other. Lauguage ,be it spoken ,body language or sign language is the most common way we communicate . We also communicate by using writing or symbols to express our selves. But the skill most readily used is the function of speaking. Today's episode focuses on speaking and listening, how it has a bearing on people's awareness ,perception ,opinion judgment as it were..

Ever since Viplav got married his nightly visits to meet his wife at the ashram have been fairly regular. Today however, due to an upset tummy he mopes on his bed and plays with his phone grumbling ,its night time ,and she hasn't even called to ask how he is? funny way of showing she loves him. As if dhani heard his whining , his phone rings and he finds out she at front gate. What super luck! he sneaks down to receive her. Next minute they both end up on the first floor landing. It's amusing so see how Viplav holds Dhani by the hand and sneaks her past Dashrants larger than life portrait on the wall. Pity Dashrant's silent gaze is a fixed, but mute expression sees a deed he fears, happen right under his very nose. The darkness along with the sneaking into his room makes them feel like children up to mischief when all grownups have gone to bed , his sense of adventure kicks in! and he jests with dhani, feels like a thief in his own house! In a way they both are like robbers in their own house ,for both have thieved the trust of the elders of the household by keeping the true nature of their relationship. However having his wife in his room, in the dark ,lights out! is just the mood for if nothing else a bit of little romance..since it is a health visitor cum wife visit , dhani does ask how his belly ache was? viplav is not a buffon to admit he's fine and miss out on her fussing over him ,thus he replies, its still there. To which dhani says , fine drink up kawa! a bitter potion to cleanse the gut! He screws his face and black mails her , she gives him a kiss first to sweeten the taste of his mouth , but Dhani sternly ignores his whimpers , and literally pours it down his gullet..

The thristy mami guzzles down a glass of saffron milk but still hungers for the box of expensive booty she eyed earlier in Viplav's room. Her eyes perceived the loot and her heart tells her she'll get her hands on Viplav's gift tonight as her mind is made.

Dhani tells viplav clearly she's also here to talk to him about something important. But Viplav as frivolous as always turns a deaf ear! and harps on about getting a kiss from her. Dhani tries to be assertive and insists he has to hear her out . Affection starved he says, with pleasure but on one condition that he rests his head on her lap peacefully and he'll hear her out, and she can share what she has to calmly.. since he gives her all the verbal and visual signs of being attentive ,Dhani deems it fit that she can tell him about her past.. she was married into a very rich family, who were well known in society. They were loaded with money... and soon only her lips were moving..viplav had dozed off right at the crucial bits.. Dhani didn't realize that he didn't take in any information of her past..but as far as she is concerned she did the right by telling him the truth before they announce their marriage to all. Dhani's has a gross misconception of course.As Viplav continues to be still in the dark about her past,while Dhani tries yet one more time to raise his awareness, to cleanse her conscience ,but then how she too misjudges the situation.

Out side mami creeps towards viplav room propelled by her urge to pilfer..her drawstring purse falls with a thud on the floor along the corridor ,Dhani does not turn a deaf ear , she alerts Viplav , who is fast asleep and herself rushes out like lightening ! darts to the side pillar outside the room!only to be spotted by the real thief mami! But Dhani manages to escape, while mami screams her lungs out thief thief ! Viplav shoots up horrified assumes Dhani has been caught! Mami's commotion gathers everyone outside Viplav's room. Out of guilt Viplav tries to shut her up ! security is tight in their house impossible for any one to enter , but mami insists that she saw a thief come out of Viplav's room, must still be outside. Raji opts to go check , but a guilt ridden Viplav inists he'll go check out side! comes back panting, no one's around. Mami acts now , makes an excuse of a dry throat due to her excessive yelling .. Sneaks into Viplav's room and steals his watch hides it in her drawstring purse . Both Raja and his mother suspect the incident a has to be mami's doing. Stupidly comes out of Viplav room and asks, was the thief found out ? Viplav replies thief escaped! To which the dimwit mami says, it's good he wasn't able to steal much otherwise he would have stolen the watch alongside many things. Raja and his mother exchange glances. Kanak blurts out watch? How did she know about it? plus how does she know that the watch has been stolen? Raja looks embarrassed while she prattles on guiltily , she assumes it was out on the table he must have picked it up,but they have to agree the thief could have stolen lots more! if she hadn't turned up in the nick of time Dashrant apologises for any inconvenience, and they all go to their rooms..The scene is an amusing scene of human behaviour, where too equally guilty parties but with differing motives try to fend their honour! Mami clearly had plans to steal from Viplav's room and she does so with great finesse. Viplav is guilty of sneaking his wife into his room, and is flustered by mami's thief ! Thief! Commotion as his motive is to save Dhani's skin!..But the truth of the matter is there are wolves in sheep's clothing in the Tirpathi household..

Fake Impressions that are communicated, now stand fully exposed behind closed doors. Raja's mother takes her sister in law to task !and regrets asking her to be here with them to impress upon Shalu's family that they are from a rich sound back ground. Now by her thievery she is drawing attention to herself. Raja's mother explains the reason why they agreed to marry in this household is due to the golden key that Shalu is! the only daughter .She reminds both her son and mami , they are completely broke! and marrying in this family they would regain their affluence and social status back in society .She begs both of them to keep in mind what they are here for and keep up appearances of respectability and refrain from giving bad impressions!

Viplav speaks to Dhani, she tells him she fell but reached home safely.. and adds she is very happy today as she got things off her chest.. Viplav says ,he glad to hear she's happy.. he of course is totally oblivious of the fact ,why a load has lifted off Dhani's mind ,as usual he treats it in a jesting manner..so Dhani has a false impression that all is well.

Dashrant ,too gives Viplav the false impression to Viplav ,that he cares about his welfare.It's really all about keeping his grandson away from that widow Dhani.Viplav is over the moon when his dada ji gives him the key to his very own spanking new office to practice law. Little is Viplav aware that his dada ji has an underlying ulterior motive to this expensive gift.

Clearing away false impression once for all! Viplav meets Dhani at the mandir and gives her the good news about his new legal services office. He gifts her a tin of vermillion. But their joy is short lived as Dulari turns up. Dhani bids him to hide. Which he does. Dulari continues with her puja and Dhani joins Viplav, who spots tears in her eyes. Upon asking, she confesses , she feels guilty of hiding such a big thing like her marriage from her mother. Viplav Tirpathi takes a decision there and then! that will make him ten times taller then he really is. He will be Dhani's husband , be a man! and own up to being her daughters husband before a mother! damned be the consequences! He will not let his beloved be riddled with guilt. He will take responsibility for their action..their hurried secret marriage.Dulari is devastated Viplav gets slapped! For Dhani's happiness he is ready to receive a thousand slaps! He is ready to take on the world!

For he married Dhani to see her smiles not her tears..Viplav the man! who stands by his woman...this scene has to be the finest scene of the episode,viplav did not need lectures, instructions.. he took her guilt upon his shoulders so dhani could be free. hamlet53 9,3.16

Let's blame Vip's dozing off to the effects of the soothing kadha fed by Dhani😆

Hammie, very amusing take today. You can easily take up comedy --among other forms of writing, you excel at it greatly.

The entire episode was a comedy of errors. Either the timing of the characters was off, or their dialogs were off, and therefore the whole episode was more of a charade as these characters tried to interact with each other. Some of the run-ins, as with Aunty and Dhani were expected, while others were not. Regardless, the episode served to entertain for various reasons.

--Dhani's timing to visit Viplav was off, and therefore she had to make an ultra narrow escape. Dhani's choice of offering Viplav a soothing kadha and simultaneously and a repast of her past was sad, but also struck me as strangely funny.

--Although Aunty's character has been hired, primarily, for comic relief, and secondarily to camouflage the fact that at this point villains officially outnumber the samaritans in Ayodhya Nivas, Aunty's cry of "thief" is met with skepticism on part of the Tripathis and open disbelief by the other awasthis. It is a case of one thief claiming to sight another. Ironically, Dhani, who rightfully belongs in AN has to creep around like a thief, while Aunty, who has come under false pretenses supposedly has every right to be there.

--The Awasthi trio is bad news, alright, but in yesterday's show, they, too had a comic quality. Their conversations were nearly surreal, while the mother awasthi tried to explain how desperately they needed to marry Shalu to gain back their standing and financial security in the society. I found it very funny when mother awasthi said, clad in her heavy silk sari, and dazzling jewelry, that they did not even have enough money to purchase earthenware!😆

--Dashrath gifts Vip with a key that promises to unlock his future. Sadly for DT, the new office space and hired help will be used to unlock Dhani from behind the bars by either bringing a dowry case against the Awasthis, or by defending Dhani if she is charged with her ex-husband's murder.

That is all for now. Ciao. Take care.

To be far honest , I read this post to know what is happening in the serial till date.
I am sure that you have written well than the serial actually would have gotten on the Tv as.
