IPKKND3~ep 7~11.7.17 My Impressions.. fall by the wayside..
Life itself is a race where we are runners subject to many surfaces .As runners we also face the game rules. However, life also at times, appears to be a sprint without fair play, where game rules do not apply. In such races, it's up to the player to be part of the race or risk being thrown out of the course of life. Yet the tough sprinters are those who stay in the race of life, regardless of who they race alongside, or against. For such runners winning or losing is not the key feature. Being part of the race to test their inherent mettle of perseverance, survival and aspiration to reach the finishing line is the be all and end all. For in doing so they justify their worth not only their own eyes but to others as well. The title of today's episode is inspired by one runner Chandni..she runs her races fairly well. Happens to be the most dependable and sturdy young runner in her team. Yet of recent, events in her life emotionally take a toll on her motivation to being a swift runner . So much so that today she plummets! and her legs give way. She is literally seen fallen by the wayside. Does this mean she has dropped out of the race? Given up w on she is meant to undertake?
The grand veneration begins, on an extraordinary note. For its the female image which is celebrated. Inderani , the ailing chief temple trustee Mahant's wife , does the honours of anointing and the annual opening the doors of Lord Shiva's temple. Mahant's first born chosen to do the grand veneration also happens to be a female. Still Soon enough this prestigious image of the woman plunges from reverence to disgrace as timed hoardings of Chandni and Advay unfurl all around the precinct where Chandni and her sisters approach the temple area for the ceremony. Every poster smears her virtue. Behind the horrified sisters, furtively crosses the dark figure of Advay. There is no way in hell! Chandni can survive these bold declarations of her unchaste character! she has no option but to flee! As thanks to his giant sized posters, her corrupt image that he gives her ,is magnified enough for people to see.. and prompt men with reason to pull down the image of this young woman by abusive comments about her virtue, in chronological order, summed up finally by the abusive slur that Mahant's daughter disgraces her family by her filthy ways! Advay knows how easy it is to get the general public, men in particular to pull down Chandni's character, quite effortlessly.. for the masses tend to bring the downfall of the respectable ones more so then others by picking on their wives ,daughters and sisters! Yes woman hood gives way and Chandni flees the place, fallen in disgrace! timely Advay blocks her way! this time his attack on her image is from the front ,with a bold confession... warns her this was just the beginning and yes.. there's more to come! His bold bullying scares her and her feet run! Run!as far as she can from this place, in the hope of leaving behind, him and those cruel men! This runner soon realizes , their hurtful comments follow her like a pack of hungry hounds ready to devour her..
Chandni's fall, by the way side, is a necessity for her to realize her inherent strength in the wake of worst possible scenarios. What can be worse, her family expects her to turn up at the temple to conduct the esteemed task, only she is earmarked to do! Tears, help release her tension and relieve her of smarting. She gathers and taps onto her strength giving factors! The face , the touch, a voice of a loved one from the past Dev .. conjures up from the inner most recesses of her heart, with his kissed filled promise, Chandni, if ever her inner strength fails her.. call upon him! and where so ever he is. Her cry for help will reach him, and as her guardian angel.. he will send over his strength to replenish her soul. Thus Chandni's spirit invokes Dev! and her faith in her child hood friend heals her.. and the runner retraces her legs back to whence she ran from!
When one falls flat on one's face.. not just outsiders, but insiders too don't refrain from making a situation worse by spreading panic Indrani's sisters full on panic mongering. Time for the grand veneration approaches, but the one to perform the veneration is amiss! Advay watches much amused from the back of the congregation. Time will tick away, but Chandni will never make it to this grand veneration even in a million years! For this time, after sixteen long years! He controls the hands of the clock! Present day time will be a blemish on the face of both Chandni and her so called sanctimonious family.. tick! Tock! not much longer till he sees the big guns fall! for their fall will be harder! Chuckles Advay, pleased at his conspiracy!
Indrani and Mahant cannot seek for their much needed daughter.. as Chandni has to be seen to return, held by her own inherent power and might! Conquering taunts heard from the locals and the harsh words of the bearded monster!
Seems both brothers, Advay and Mikku have a flair for manipulating others! Carrying out emotional blackmails! The duping can well be used as a crafty means to an end!Although deep down, goodness resides in them, predominantly. But where as, Mikku has a family to fall back upon, as seen in this episode. Advay has no one , except his memories and his own self to fall back upon..he could do with the entry of miss winsome moonshine in his lonely life .. plus veer aka Mikku.. laughs and makes the world laugh around him. Advay scowls, and reckons he's doing others a favour by even half a smile.. crooked one!
Then the moment arrives.. that grips Chandni's family with much relieve. But Advay with much discomfiture. One look a her dishevelled persona makes him see he may just have nose dived a bit, in terms of losing his power with her. She makes it in time! Not a second late... and she bravely steps forward to begin the grand veneration she was chosen to do..
The scene is a moment of victory for this seemingly unassumingly timid girl. Who was shooed away by evidence of her virtue in question.. Shiva! Shiva! her spirit sings! as Chandni's swirls the veneration platter around the idol of the great Lord Shiva! the vibrant Lord's damru sounds .. as from the last row, Advay wonders; where for did this girl amass the strength to show up?? After all his foul play to thwart this grand veneration. Her might puzzles him. Shiva! Shiva! continues Chandni.. her residue wounds heal too, as the she successfully completes with full reverence the task she was given, now all that is left to be done is to share the scared light with the devotees. But Advay is anxious, he assumed he would hammer her out of shape by picking on her reputation. Her return tells him , that he will need much might to devastate and crush her. Beaten, he attempts to slip away. But she notices him from the corner of her eye. Suddenly Chandni knows what she has to do.. wait! She commands with righteous anger. Advay stops!
The final scene is about a woman, who makes the crowd part and make way for her to pass through. She carries the eternal light of truth and love on the platter held between her hands. The truth that she is pure as the sacred light, silences all malicious tongues! Till she reaches him and offers him the light! this time she preaches, insult not the grand veneration.. accept the sacred light. Defiantly he places his palm on the flame and stares down into her rather worried expanded eyes. He keeps his palm on the flame .Yet again Advay tests his might against the might of the great god Shiva.. fire against fire can only create a inferno! Chandni lowers the flame.. his eyes twinkle as he studies the worry in her eyes. The girl deserves, to be commended. He tells her well done for winning this challenge he set for her. Advay even confesses ,he misjudged her prowess.. thought she was made of glass, that he could easily smash! But he sneers, she's made of stone! She has to be, quite heartless.. without emotionless ! no wonder! she carries so much guile within her heart that returning here, after all the character assignation she went through ,makes no difference to her. Finally her warns her, its a good thing she's tough! As it will be a pleasure for him to break her gradually and slowly.. Advay stops.. stalks off.. turns his head to enjoy the look of horror on her face.. he smirks, loser..but not beaten, let her win this battle! He has a war to win!!
What a vibrant episode, again Barun and Shivani ruled the episode. It was all about testing if she rises back again after the fall he gives her. Where she got her strength from puzzles him? did he not feel his own strength leave him briefly? Tomorrow Advay is all set to work his way into the heart of the lady of the manor , Indrani ..some guy gets the beats , so that Advay can redeem both his and her image.. Chandni thinks this man is incorrigible! and he winks at her on his way out... I'll be back.. you watch.. rabba ve.. hamlet53 12.7.17
