Wrapped Up, Entangled , Stuck on you.
First things first - LOVED the episode . Something I have not felt or said in a long long time specially since Kamini walked into AN .
Hammie you have brilliantly talked about the garland entanglement scene and Viplav in a dark room with dark thoughts ...I have read it a couple of times . Lagta hai dil se likha hai.
We've often talked about Love & Trust ( respect too ) in any relationship and along with that is another very important aspect is communication. Though implicit trust may exist between partners secrets and lies of any sort become an entanglement whatever its original intent . As so is the case of Dhani . The lamb seems to have been caught in a trap laid out by the wolf who she mistaken to be a friend .
Dhani never intended to lie or deceive all she ever wants is her husband to be proud of her . Give him a surprise when she is ready with a few basics that she has been secretly attending school. Torn between her household duties and her will to learn she decides to tread this path alone. Is it wrong for her to make this decision for herself ? Not really but marriage does mean confiding. With such a supportive husband as Viplav the thought of her taking such a bold step is a matter of pride why should Dhani hide it . So very misguided and nave decision.
A recursive aspect of her nature seems to keep popping up. She tends to make singular decisions which seem for the benefit of others and falls very short when it comes to understanding the bigger picture . Her immaturity shines bright. Be it walking out on Viplav when Dadi bua taunted her or now , taking to the streets without anyone knowing.
Viplav on the other hand has been forgiven by Dhani on occasions where any wife would question him . the response he has always gotten that she trusts him therefore any explanations are not required. So why then when Viplav senses she is hiding something from him not give her the space or liberty to do what she wants and come to him when she is ready . Well because partners are meant to communicate and tell each other things . And that nagging sense of Why and what is she hiding ?
Viplavs nature too comes in the foreground yet again. He is protective of her and knows of how nave she is in the ways of the world . Has had to come to her rescue every time and this time he is not even aware of what she is up to . He is angry and has a reason to be.
The play between the two individuals is what i really liked. the taunt scenes and the acting.
And now coming to the best scene of the day. The classroom scene.
A night class meant to educate big or small , rich or poor anyone who has not had the privilege to learn in the early years. And the beauty of Vidhya ( Education ) is that it not discriminate and embraces anyone who wishes to fall in its arms. The importance of Vidhya , even sex workers find they lack and obtaining one would uplift them . And there is no shame in it . For everyone in that class the purpose in one and only one ...to learn and move away from the shadow of darkness.
The teacher picks Dhani to start with spelling her name . A name which is ones identity through out ones life . And her identity in none other than the name Viplav as it is he who instilled the will and dignity to hold her head high when every one had shunned her. He is her God her husband and its him who comes first . She learns to spell his name on a paper and the wind carry her message of love to her lover who is very near. Ishq Ishq ...the gentle sounds of the wind.
Ah don't you just love LOVE . Yeah that soppy , gooey , hallmark card product , dripping in honey , sugary stuff. AH I do ..specially when others in the show spew so much venom.
Its been a while since i wrote a long post . I hope I made sense and thanks mate for giving me the opportunity to do so.
Hugs.
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon
