<font color="#181818" size="2">Persuasion, Jane Austen</font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">Sush "hides face and then peeps out"</font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">You know I amgoing to do that again and I apologise inadvance but what to do, Sush,writers are alwaysdreamers and I am sureyou would agree to it. And I am only going to brush upon thepositivestrokes that have pulled me in tore-visit the underlyingcurrents of the given juxtaposed equations in the episode last night.😃</font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">Anyway, so while I am over the moon that you saw hues of Elinor inour Chandni and Marianne in Meghna, which is how it is, and finally if I may add. But</font>lastnight's episode left me in awe of the subtle writing that the makers have adopted and this one takes me right back to mycave offairytale love coagulated with hues from Ms Austen's brilliant writing and I feelexuberantlyelated at what I see is coming.
<font color="#181818" size="2">And apart from the endearing man who has captivated me with hisflawlessportrayal, thescene thatworked for me in theepisode last night other than the surreal romantic one was thebrief exchangebetween Indrani andChandni. Oh what amasterstroke of finesse. This is why I am here, dayafterday, those littleequations that touch your heart.</font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">Starting with Advay, the man who I thought would do an Edward Ferrars for me, prettymuchremained me of Captain Frederick Wentworth last night (and I am only using this analogy for Advay).Yep,Persuasion it is, as he pursues his lady into marrying him. A</font>nd we see an overlap of Ms. Austen's enigmaticwriting playing subtly here. AND this is not it. There are hues of afairytaleprincecharming that are underplayed right now to give meaning to his revenge.Thewriters this time havechosenRapunzal to address thecharacterandalong withWentworth , Advay takes you back to the man who was his Rapunzel's true love Flynn Rider/ Eugene Fitzherbert. Andsince I have alreadywritten about my love for Ms. Austenanalogy to the show, I will touch upon the fairytale today.😃
<font color="#181818" size="2"></b></font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">Oh thecharacter of Advay is such acharmer and Sobti isdevilishly slaying it like its no one's business. Did you see theanalogies that were thrown?Advay wentawaywith no family tolookback upon andalsobecause he was broke, leaving behind thememories of his childhoodfriend whom he thought was hisconfidante. And years later the man is back, on amission andwhat is it that is on his mind for hisoldfriend? <b>That she is a 'Jhhooti/ liar."</font>And she,Chandni or theRapunzel has been living a lie too that her mother, Gothel has woven around her.Brilliant strokes ofabsolutely captivating writing if you ask me.👏
<font color="#181818" size="2">And he, is conning herwith the lie of love andromance, taking her in adreamland and yet not giving into his intentions ofacceptingwhy he is here and what for. Sheasks him 'what do you want' and hesays, 'you.'</font>
<font size="2">Rapunzel: Who are you, and how did you find me?
Flynn:I know not who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say... that you were my new dream.</font>
<font size="2">Rapunzel: Something brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will... fate... destiny...??
Flynn: It was a horse.</font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">Coming to the Indrani andChandniscene.Chandni or Rapunzel here has notstepped out of the house for more than an year.Why? Because of a lie and anightmare she doesnt know hermother has wovenaround her. She is anxious and cant go out, much like how Rapunzel was heldcaptive in thetower, heronlyfriends being the things and the small creaturesaround her (read sisters in this context). And what a brilliant cue to the story was left in theepisodeyesterday when Indrani says that thewedding ofChandni is what is her aim and hermotif. And Indrani so far has been cautious but there for a minute, she allows her facade to slipaway andspeaks her heart out.</font>
<font size="2">Rapunzel: Hi. Welcome home, Mother.
Mother Gothel: Oh! Rapunzel! How you manage to do that every single day without fail! It looks absolutely exhausting, darling!
Rapunzel: Oh, it's nothing.
Mother Gothel: Then I don't know why it takes so long.
</font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">What lovely blend ofportraying Jane Austen'sstory andimprovising it with aperfect fairytale. And it will be even more interestingwhen Chandni agrees to marry Advay despite Indrani's nonapproval. Yep, Advay will get what hewants and will makeChandni realisethat her Mother Gothel is not her well wisher but herworst foe.</font>
<font color="#181818" size="2">And it willalso be fateful to see whom does Chandni, our Rapunzel choosesbetween her Eugene/ Frederick andher Mother Gothel/ Lady Russell, a dream she thinks, she can live or a lie that awaits topull her back into an abyss.</font>
<font size="2">Rapunzel: I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.

<font size="2">Rapunzel: I think he likes me.
Mother Gothel: Likes you? Please, Rapunzel, that's demented!
Rapunzel: But Mother, I...
Mother Gothel: This is why you never should have left. This whole romance that you've invented just proves you're too naive to be here. Why would he like you? Come on now, really. Look at you! You think that he's impressed?</font>You would indeed have been throwing yourself away. And I should have been failing in my duty as your godmother if I did not counsel against it.
And I will only reiterate that little of what I had said earlier, that I am loving the show and the surreality with which it takes me to a dreamland, typical Gul style. I am happy that the last week and this week the show has shown improvements in leaps and bounds and I cannot wait for the story to unfold further. The characters and the dialogues are bang on. All I need is a little bit of that connect to the initial two weeks, where my Chandni stammers yet stops Advay and gives him a piece of his mind at the temple, letting him know that she is scared but she dares.😳And I am sure that with the improvement in the direction, the character clarity will also come in the upcoming weeks.
Apart from that Ritu and Sobti are full on going to keep us glued to the episodes that will follow suit since the dilemma of Chandni, our Rapunzel, will be tested to the T when Advay and Indrani play her along, And needless to say, that one whose a better player will win hands down.
As usual, before I sign off, a word of appreciation to the man who has made this show absolutely watchable and loving for me, Mr. Sobti, the Wentworth and Eugene, who with his flawless acting skills has made Advay believable and endearing. And I am awaiting the day when my Wentworth will acknowledge his true love for his lady, hopefully without meeting a Louisa Musgrove, who by fluke would be Lady Russell's ploy to keep Wentworth away.
<font size="2">I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be enough to decide whether I enter your heart, now or never.</font>

<font color="#181818" size="2">PPS A lot has already been said in thethread and Iwould only saythat for meneither Advay nor Chandni are in love now. Its a GK show, the love will comeknocking on their doors only later.</font>
