Rheumatism is a setback. I had thought it was just a displaced nerve. In that sense, it is a disappointment. But if you step back and look at the big picture, this is one ailment that can be managed.

I strongly suggest Yoga, if you are not using it already. It will help tremendously. I say it by personal practice that it will improve both mood and physical well being.

Please have a look at this article- http://www.arthritis.org/living-with-arthritis/exercise/workouts/yoga/yoga-benefits.php

My dear Donjas,

Thank you for liking this one, even if it cannot possibly compete with the crackerjack last one. Thank you for such interesting and perceptive comments. And most of all thank you for doing what I should have done but could not do this time, and the last as well, respond intelligently to so many of the comments.

As I wrote to Sandhya above, and I am not in good shape any more in the mornings, and am in general somewhat depressed. Being, finally, diagnosed with rheumatism does that to you. So thank you again.

Shyamala

Wishing you many many many pain free days dear Shyamala. You are in my thoughts. Thanks for the lovely post

Thank Donjas and Shyamala Di!
I am very glad that I can make understood for myself some moments.
For me the harem existed in the mind together with the fairy tales "1001 nights". Somehow it did not reflect. On the issue of polygamy, I did not care public opinion, I trying to try "on myself". How would I have reacted to be a wife number ..., or my daughter - his wife number...?
For girl age Jodha, even if its in the culture is polygamy, she probably wouldn't want to be in a queue of wives.
I was born and raised in the southern republic, and we have sooo loveful men. BUT! The basic principle: one woman-wife - does not know about the other. Still, the own woman is the wife, and the other - the mistress, but if they have children do not throw, as a rule. (I find it very sad). I am not to condemn and not interfere in other people's foundations. In no event do not want anyone to hurt or offend. I really want to - understand and because so interested in your opinion. Here and Mainawati I see differently. It seemed to me that his look in the face, looking under the veil, it is not "decent". He realizes that Jodha's mother is not happy . And in his performance of the rituals I was seen also some schadenfreude. Western view? 😳
And if before I sympathized with the women, having looked as Jalal enters in his harem, I realized that mens it is also necessary to regret. Here is a husband returned from a military campaign, tired ... but he literally torn to pieces and is many conflicts in this the henhouse. 😃
We have a wonderful film comedy, "Prisoner of the Caucasus". They sing a song, "If I were a sultan, I would have 3 wives ..." After weighing all the (+) and (-), he comes to a decision: "If I were a sultan - would be unmarried! "
I think these relationships are scratching their psyche and first wife and others. And again in the film "JA", how many the evils were made by the offended Rukia.
I also really like the scene where Jalal stops a glance to Mahlanga. And here is another sad moment of loneliness Jalal. His family used him, trying to make him a puppet and denying him the right to personal feelings.
Really looking forward to your descriptions of the wedding and I wish you health!

My dear Preeti,

I was just going to respond to your delightfully different comment beginning with UFF!! in my last thread, where I have hardly responded to any of the comments. I was so depressed with the diagnosis of rheumatism that I did not feel like doing anything, and in any case my fingers were too stiff till noon.

But before I got around to doing that, I saw this one, so I am here instead first,

Thank you so much for the good wishes, my dear, but pain free days are not even on the distant horizon. There is no cure for rheumatism, and all I am aiming for is to prevent my hands from becoming damaged and twisted. I could not even brush my teeth these past few days without the hot and cold alternating exercise for about 30 minutes early in the morning. Plus I cannot walk properly, for my left knee hurts as also the soles of my feet! 'Enuff said!

I am still recovering from the shock of the diagnosis, and will be trying to get my act together as regards the treatment as soon as I can. Wish me luck!

And yes, I am glad you liked this post, though it cannot hold a candle to the UFF!!! one!😉

hi shyamala, another beautiful analysis! i loved the way you explained jalal's mixed feelings for jodha, as of now he just wants to capture her to show her right place, but on the other hand he is very protective about her as she will be his mallika!..now the question here arises why he had to give her so much importance or respect by marrying her and then welcoming her in a grand way in agra as well! i do not know what might have happened in reality but i think it might have been akbar's strategy to develop good relations with rajputs and if he married jodha and gave her respect he will rise in their eyes and they will become his biggest assets and will fight for him than against him!

therefor i think ekta's jalal is doing this lavishly to serve two purposes his revenge that will soothe his ego and a smart political move that will strengthen him even more in every way, just like his ammijaan says inse wafaadar koi nahin hai!

My dear Susmita,

You are more than welcome! I saw that you had read and Liked my last post, and I felt you might like to see this one too. I will PM you regularly in the future.

I am delighted that you liked this one so much. And as for Rajat, as you would have understood after reading my last post about Episode 31, I adore him. He is an exceptionally talented actor, and i am keeping my fingers crossed for Lady Luck to smile on him in the future as well.

SORRY FOR THIS OFF TOPIC NOTE

MY FATHER SUFFERED RHEUMATISM FOR CLOSE TO THIRTY FIVE YEARS. IN THIS TIME PERIOD HE TRIED ALL SORTS OF TREATMENT - ALLOPATHIC, STEROIDS, GOLD INJECTIONS, HOMEOPATHIC, AYURVEDIC, YUNAANI - ALL KINDS OF HAKIMS AND BABAS

HE ALSO WENT TO KOTTAKKAL TO THE ARYA VAIDYA SALA TWICE, EACH TIME FOR A MONTH AND A HALF

MY FATHER'S OPINION AT THE END OF IT WAS THAT THE KOTTAKKAL TREATMENT IS PROBABLY MORE BENEFICIAL FOR MUSCULAR ISSUES, AND NOT THAT MUCH FOR RHEUMATISM

HE EVENTUALLY SETTLED WITH A DOCTOR FROM AIIMS, NEW DELHI, WHO WAS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD. BUT, UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS A BIT LATE IN THE DAY. HE DID MANAGE THE PAIN QUITE WELL AND THE DISEASE WAS IN REMISSION.

BUT LOT OF MEDICATIONS LEFT HUGE SIDE EFFECTS ON HIS LUNGS AND OVERALL WELLNESS. SO AT THE END OF IT, WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, IT WAS CAUSED, NOT BECAUSE OF RA, BUT LUNG FAILURE - INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY RA MEDICATION

YES RHEUMATISM HAS NO CURE. TREATMENT FOR IT, AT BEST, ADVOCATES PAIN MANAGEMENT. OVER THESE YEARS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO ARE ABLE TO MANAGE QUITE WELL

SO WHATEVER COURSE OF ACTION YOU TAKE, PLEASE TAKE SECOND AND THIRD OPINIONS AND ONLY THEN GO AHEAD WITH IT.

SANDHYA, PLS DO NOT TAKE IT OTHERWISE. SINCE I HAVE LIVED QUITE CLOSELY WITH THIS DISEASE, I AM JUST SHARING MY OPINION

QUOTE=sashashyam]It is so sweet of you, my pet, but I cannot leave Pune and my mother, nor can I take her to Kerala with me, she is too fragile. But if I can get these ayurvedic oils from there, I will use them regularly. I already have a bottle of Ksheerabala tailam from there. So do let me know.

Shyamala Aunty

Thank you so much, my dear, this is really very thoughtful of you. I shall keep this very carefully in mind.
