IKRS Thursday 2nd June 2016 ep 265 My Take ~ Demon! a call from the past..
Everyone has a past riddled with good or bad experiences. It is a useful dictate of life that we treat our bygones as learning curve to shape our present and future decisions. But what of those bygones that once were and are not now? what of those moments thrown at us presently? that seem to connect us with our past, do we snatch them and revive some past moment of joy?
Like a dutiful daughter Dhani comes home to her unwell mother Dulari .She reasons with her mother that she needs her well and fit again as she is all that is left for her and Vidha . In keeping with the culture of care and interdependency within a family unit Dhani tells Dulari she needs to stop work as a seamstress and sit back and relax as she has a job that should make enough for Vidha s admission fees. She shares her dreams with her mother , to see Vidha in a top job, in the future and for that she is not afraid to sweat and toil day and night . Dulari blesses and encourages her daughters aspirations and hard work, besides god to supports vulnerable people. Dulari hopes she is stopping to eat as well , that Dhani is into looking after everyone ,but herself . She urges Dhani to go back to work as she's fine. Dhani needs, to as she left Vidha with Parsiya and she can be quite handful Dhani represents the image of a single parent also in the role of caring for an ailing parent too.Both Dulari and Dhani's past ascetic life of being widows has in actual fact trained them to live harshly , lucky for them , in the past life of just dealing with bare necessities have kept them from the addictions of comforts and luxurious . Hence living in the ghettos of Mumbai .. is a challenge they happily accept .
Viplav has his phone pressed to his ear , Kamini tries to cover up for her husband's total disinterest in her and the festive atmosphere. Its work !work and nonstop work for him! she moans to mrs. Kaushik the host who is most pleased with his work and remarks he not the top lawyer for nothing. She tries to give the impression that its vilplavs' work that keep him away from her .. Kamini tries to show she makes the effort with viplav ,as family too is important, she booked a holiday for Europe right at the at the last minute it got cancelled, but its thanks to her that this occasion has made it possible for them to be out together. kamini can't help but keep her anxiety about Viplav's frigidity to herself .Socially too it causes her embarrassment , like now when she calls him , he blanks her out , continues talking to his client on the phone! and fed up of her calls for him! saunters to another side of the room full of guests. ..and continues his call.. Dhani reaches the venue and embarks on her job off setting and moving flower arrangements in different spots. She looks to where viplav is busy on his phone and Dhani looks past him at a floral arrangement and walks past behind him, fixes the flowers the way they should be !then as she checks her phone she collides against Viplav , that man! drop his phone of the floor!before Viplav can look up to see who he collided with a red curtain falls over Dhani! she is about to push it off and a white sheet tumbles on Viplav and both him Dhani are swamped underneath the tumultuous materials red and white embroiled with each other ! Viplav heart sings , the colour of his Ishq is white !pure and innocent life Dhani.. the colur of his Ishq was the widow in a white sari.. the colour of his Ishq is white my beloved! His Ishq of the white! which he transformed into the colour red.. the colour of his Ishq became red.. when he took off the white in her life and covered her head with the colour red!
Now ,they try to remove the material his finger feels the top of her hand... what feel is this? it feels familiar .. it gives her sense of warmth ..it reaches the inner recesses of his broken heart.. a brief fixture of his slashed heart ,was this feel... but it cannot be !the mind is confused under this wretched material! It has to come off ! for it makes his heart race ,and his mind giddy! Muses Viplav as he tries to pull of the material so does Dhani! but vilplav's white material and Dhani's red are embroiled with each other, not to come apart... for what the gods join is not that easy to pull apart! in a frenzy he grabs the material firmly! his palm brushes hers yet again!.. this healing .. feels like that departed feel of healing he had in his life five years ago... but then he stopped the feel of healing in his life! he rumbles inside and angrily Viplav pulls off !the red material from his head.. Symbolically telling the world and himself that he broke the marriage! Once the red material is off his head he looks down at the figure before him still covered under the material .. He gives a helping hand, is about to pull of the entangled red and white material off the figure, but his PA calls him, Viplav turns to the man who asks is Viplav fine? Dhani lifts off the material, fixes her hair and walks away.. Viplav too fixes his hair but is visibly unhinged who was that under the flow with him? he turns abruptly . The person had left..
Hankering for success in upcoming business means becoming a person low in morality and having to lie in order to fleece people. Basic integrity is thrown to the winds when Simone blantantly lies about the price she quotes for the floral material she used. More success gives more insecurity when faced with any form of competition. Simone is threatened by Dhani's commitment to quality , and presentation of her work. She ridicules Dhani and dismisses Dhani s social status as being one without clout and financial back ground who'll do anything to make a fast buck . Dhani realizes , once again peoples prejudiced views of social classicism were thrown in her face. Presently, there was no where seemingly the white sari symbol, and her illiteracy that once was the object of her ridicule and personal dehumanization of her status in society. Here she stood dressed in colour but finds bigoted people , like Simone were still about, who go by class distinction and push human beings into social units based on the kinds of professions they have. Dhani's fight against such shallow values is still on, but then Dhani gears up! the past has taught her to confront people like Simone and take them to task.. "that man".. was along with past tough times , the one who taught her to confront social injustices! otherwise she be forever exploited by people's false accusations!
Viplav strolls outside in the garden engaged in a conversation with a client whom he tells in no uncertain terms that he needs the absolute truth about the clients situation otherwise it would not be possible for him to fight the case on his behalf.. for Viplav , integrity cannot be surrendered for the sake of money, and bribing the judge is certainly not part of his job as a lawyer, he fights his cases on the basis of truth. Then suddenly his conversation on the phone is interrupted by a attention seeking tap from Vidha ! along with the approach of waiter with a glass of orange juice! Viplav startles! The juice tray topples! to the ground along with Viplav's phone that gets soiled with juice! Irate he yells at the child ,What is she doing?go play over there! the waiter too gets it she a kid ! but he's old enough to see he's on the phone! was dealing with an important phone call. The waiter apologizes ,and hands over the soggy phone back to Viplav. Simone turns up and screams on the waiter ,offers to get his phone repaired but Viplav says its ok. But much too his pleasure this girl ,the pretty lemon coloured flower looks up at his tall frame defiantly.. he looks down at her, quirks his enquiring eyes brows at her upturned angry narrowed glare! Viplav asks her, does she want to to say something? Rakhshas! She snarls with a frown and then turns and runs off in case of back lash from him... Rakshas .. that name for him.. brings back a flood of memories for him.. his feet carry him to the little flower.. who stands with her back to him! in the name of the title she gives him.. the mighty lawyer Viplav tirpathi crouches on his knees, approaches this lovely flower.. and makes amends , is she angry with him? as he told her off? ok he's sorry ,begs her turns her around to face him and pulls his ears but then she too is a chip of the old block! firms her lips in a huff! One look at her and he's back to his teasing mode.. of many moons ago! She's a fire brand! how old is she? at least a fifty year old biddy he teases! Twenty? No? how about ten and Vidha blurts out, actually no! five! Many moons ago Viplav, teased Dhani too, about her age when he met her for the very first time at the temple on the shores of the Ganges ..knowing her right age was part of a bet placed by him with his friends !.. he enjoys his chatter with this little flower, for a five year old she has quite a temper !but she argues ,no she doesn't get angry! as anger is enemy of the mind! he smiles , she talks great sense and she tells's him off his anger is mighty! he shouts at people! Viplav is reduced to a naughty little boy at fault, and again he says sorry to her! but adds with a affectionate pull at her chubby cheek... and she is just like a bag of complaints! Such joy for Viplav.. but swept away by strange memories of his Ishq ..dhani.. but like all good things come to an end Pashya comes looking for her , tells the flower, her mums looking for her! he asks hope she didn't bother him ?Viplav nods feebly, but what does bother him is her being carried away from him, by her father ..
What strange pull does he feel for this child? A strange connection.. of all the negative appellatives in the world! why did she call him Rakhshas? the colour of his Ishq is Dhani... Ishq! Ishq.. looking for an answers..
Viplav comes back into the house and in the shadows screened by a trellis screen of flowers he comes across hearing a protest of a woman with her back to him. She has a go at the wedding planner ! proper exposing her lying tactic at making money! Dhani calls her a liar who dares to question her integrity! Simone tells her to stop! but Dhani dumps her job on the basis that her honest hardwork is under mind and questioned! Pashya tries to calm her down but she refuses to accept false accusations and taunts. Will not bear insults as she will suffer the loss most! Viplav muses at this woman's tirade she challenges the mindset of the rich! she declares, Let's go! she Speaks like one he knew... his thoughts are interrupted as his little flower of a girl! runs to the woman and asks presumably her mother, but mum we can't go papa is not here yet! The woman scolds her he's not coming here!! but the girl argues he will come! viplav looks at the guy pashya and wonders with a ray of an odd hope.. so this man is not her father.. the colour of his Ishq is a hope... Viplav is thrown.. he goes after them as the mother drags her child and leaves.. confused he wonders why is he wanting to stop them?
Dhani reaches home tells her mother she's packed her job due to her principles , Dulari supports her. but apart from that she to deal with Vidha's strop! that she wanted to meet her papa.. Dhani too shows how her constant calling for her father unhinges her! the child eventually promises she will never mention him again,never ask when is her dad coming.. but Dulari again warns Dhani its near to being cruel in hiding the truth from a daughter about her father. Dhani is adamant so be it! if that isn't enough! Dhani leaves her bag at with her money and Vidha's admission papers at mrs.khaushik's house and... Viplav finds it! gets hold of Dhani's passport size picture but it slips from his fingers face down on the floor.. Viplav gets hold of Vidha's identity documents.. realizes the woman has left her bag! Kamini hounds Viplav! viplav goes out looking for the little girl in yellow dress , bubbly and chatty with a right temper! .. another worker ,tells him she is the florists daughter very hard working and committed but Simone just sacked her! Kamini notices Viplav is more interested in this child than her!she taunts him, he's very taken in by this girl.. has he found some connection with her... Viplav rolls his eyes... speak to space I am not listening to you Kamini!... hamlet53. 3.6 . 16
Hammie loves the flower called Vidha.. Viplav and her what a pair! Made for each other..tit for tat! kya baap aur kya baap ke beti!❤️
Very late post done in a hurry.. many pardons, but still wanted to do it... for the sake of Ishq..
