AN ODE TO REDUX
My dear Friends,
REDUX was a brilliant platform provided by two illusionaries Sathya and Doods for various writers to present their varying views and takes on the episode. The views need not been the same as all five fingers our hand are not the same.
Each and every analysis was treated with the same respect. There were no camps or campwaasi's.
It radiated with positivity that Sathya and Doods always maintained.
REDUX was UNITY IN DIVERSITY, and am very proud to be a part of it for a brief while.
We did not know how each other looked and were from different backgrounds, cultures and countries around the globe coming together for the common love of a show called IPKKND. We only discussed the show and the various possible plots and scenarios etc. It was designed such that 1st four pages were reserved for analysis and the rest for discussions.
We became like a family that in the end we were addicted to REDUX and the reduxians rather than the show. The day REDUX closed was a very heart breaking one, thinking I am loosing something I hold so precious in life. I could not get over it for days. In fact I can tell you I still haven't got over it yet.
The various analysis, the discussions, the weekend 24/7 discussions and deliberation leading to a four thread minimum. Sathya asking some questions or a scenario and asking us to give the answers for it. We break our heads or it, our answers being answered by another question. I will never ever forget those precious days for I made a bond with each one of them for life.
I remember vividly one day, Trin asked a doubt and she left for work I think. Then Sathya turned it on to us and asked us to answer. The session was for a marathon one and Trin came back and asked are you still at it. I chided Trin for asking the doubt in the first place. Trin apologized, saying if I knew it would end up like this I would not asked the doubt in the first place. We had so much fun and jelled like a family.
I loved the humor, anger, ranting, and despair felt by each one of my friends.I also miss the brain storming sessions of Sathya's, allowing us to use our brain and slowly learn to decode the episode. This is the magnanimity of Sathya and Doods. They also wanted us to grow like them.
I made so many friends who are so precious to me. I could identify everyone's weakness and how they used to tease that person. I used to make blunders and Sathya used to correct me gently, I think only when you care for a person that you will scold that person. I loved it that day, For Sathya cared for me.
I as I said was heartbroken that day Sathya and Doods were closing and we begged them for an alternative. They suggested such a thread and then Adda was born under their presence.
I really hope we take forward their hard work by following their footsteps in the Adda.
Girls I have become quite sentimental about something very precious to me.
Please don't throw chappals or Tamartars or Jelebis at me.
Anu
