@priya, I hope everything's well with you. Sorry for the really late update but my internet had conked off yesterday. And thanks much for liking what I wrote!

Your title of ego and desire takes me to another favourite fictional character of mine who is again a great parallel to ASR. Mr Rochester of Jane Eyre. 👍🏼

Look at what Jane Eyre feels about Rochester's first proposal, which she feels was motivated by passion as compared to the other proposal she gets from St John whom she feels was motivated by clear practical reasons.

I quote her:

"I was almost as hard beset by him now as I had been once before, in a different way, by another. I was a fool both times. To have yielded then would have been an error of principle; to have yielded now would have been an error of judgment"

Rings bells, doesn't it? Khushi might be feeling exactly like Jane Eyre in this situation if ASR proposes to her at this junction of his wooing. She has been thoroughly meddled with, her heart vacillating and her mind yet clearly unable to see the prince lurking beneath the beast that it is logical and expected that she will consider herself a fool. to yield to him and more importantly, think it is an error of 'principle and judgement' if she says yes.

Similarly for Rochester, as for ASR, the desire and passion for Khushi is at the same time redemptive as well as destructive. He is yet to know the power of his own desire. Now he is directing his desire through the sheer 'will' of his ego but there will come a time when the beast will realise that to attain the princess, the ego has to buckle under; the ego has to take the trial by fire to be destroyed by passion. That will be the destructive power. Also, it is pretty symbolic that he will be emotionally and spiritually consumed (destructed?) by his desire.

On the other hand, desire is nothing but fire. And fire destroys as much as it purifies. And this desire will purify him, purge his soul of all the last vestiges of darkness, bleakness and ghosts and renew it. For it to be watered by the sunshine of Khushi's soul... just like Rochester, despite being physically and mentally crippled, was finally restored by Jane Eyre coming back to him.. just like the beast revived when Beauty returned.

I have to say, that IPK has made me revive all the wonderful days I had while studying literature in college. Viewing becomes that much more enriching because we can connect, assimilate and understand loves, passions, desires and egos through this exercise.

Now that lecture apart, what is it with this man's eyes? The wickedness gleaming out of the dark chocolate depths before he does that grab. The phangurl in me swooned and how! Friday's was the sexiest episode I have seen in sometime. The entire biwi-tv exchange felt like foreplay!😍☺️

They will have Teej...they cant skip Teej. Maybe it will come after RB. If I am not mistaken, there are 3 Teej festivals celebrated in India...one in July, one in Aug and the third in September.😊
