^^^ sab, arshi,
interesting chat about the wheel. of course, almost nothing in ipk was just there for the h of it. everything practically linked to something and said something completely different. nk and mami have deeply loaded dialogues... and there's a sense of chess and pieces being moved and manoeuvred everywhere. one can write every episode from just the pov of dialogues and their significance if one likes.but to get back to that changed wheel.so khushi changed the direction of the tale. instrumental in him finding the right way? but i don't understand why she was made to take the air out of the tyre. a deliberate act. was this a little snigger snigger at asr and reference to his slightly full of himself air? or what... tells me, my symbolism readers.khushi believed whatever you did, dm actuallu wrote it for you and made you do it. yet, in that nifty little tyre puncturing act she seemed to be making her own destiny. then she changed the wheel and became the "karta" of the moment... were the writers trying to tell us something? or was it just a neat way of introducing the tyre change, because that was the real symbol? me conphusia.if we want to talk other meaning, uff that road to nainital... did that feel full of all sort of signs and portents and metaphor. should we ponder?the instruction manual was in hindi. so one chapter closed and another began... in a language that was grek and latin to him 😆 remember how he struggled to read? of course, later he wrote a letter in hindi in the rajkumari/shaitan sequence? or am i muddle headed after seeing that man in white?
