Manik & Nandini - Requiem for a dream - Page 2

what a beautiful post!👏

I feel much better reading this.😊

manik and nandini are soulmates...they understand each other, love each other, hurt each other and eventually will come back to each other because they are lost without the other.

manik never knew love or happiness before nandini...his friendship with the fab5 was him being more of a protector for them,it was very unbalanced but after nandini emerged in his life, we could see a different manik...a manik who wasn't hesitant to share his deepest thoughts n secrets, who he could lean on for comfort, advice n companionship.

For nandini, it was her being able to become a carefree college girl...she could drop all her worries n live the moment just as she wanted to...she didn't have to keep up the mask of being strong, stoic n resilient,she could show her vulnerable side to him n not be judged for it.

that's how pure and deep their bond is...they complete each other, make each other's lives a little happier.

Right now, both of them will be hurting, both of them will be in pain coz it causes manik even greater pain to hurt her the way he did...he might try to be cruel for all he can but he himself is just as shattered...he cannot back off now, he is in too deep and he doesn't realize that .

It will be impossible for them to stay away...they may play juvenile pranks, share angry glances and bitter silences and throw caustic words at each other but as much as they try to, they won't be able to ignore or avoid each other.They need one another for their survival in the most basic way.

Therefore,they will come back,maybe after a lot of angst, maybe a little ruffled, a little wary at first but they will come back for sure and this time their bond much stronger.

See I am not even going to bother defending Manik. Because what he has done , was DISGUSTING ... and plain STUPID. But it also served his purpose perfectly. He wanted Nandini to be REPULSED by him, so that its a CLEAN sever ... and knowing how much she liked him ... he had to completely undo all that. I am hating the fact that he is doing all this for someone like Dhruv ... and I am NOT saying that I forgive him. All I am saying is that I UNDERSTAND him. We all know Manik is a bi-polar socio/psychopath. Everything about him is extreme. Think of it in this way. Hum padosi ke bache ko nahin daant te. Hum apne bache pe bhadaas nikaalte hai. The guy loves Nandini, and owes her no formality. She is like ghar ki daal. But Dhruv is like BAHARWALA. Which is why Manik felt the need to sacrifice his AND Nandu's happiness for the sake of Dhruv's . Its a very sick logic, but think from Manik's POV, and you'll see it makes sense in a twisty way. As it is uss bande ke upar ke maalay mein BOHOT ghotaala hai. Perhaps this was the very reason he went up to Nandini and said 'I don't like it' instead of asking Dhruv to stay away from her. KYA DOSTI HAIN! Fab 5 and ManRuv has to be the worst bonding I've ever seen on screen (I seriously need to read a HP book tonight itself- just to make myself feel better). In fact, there's not a single bonding shown in this show which I can root for (yes, not even ManBir).

As for Nandini ... just as Manik is a abnormally volatile and certified nutjob, Nandu is no ordinary girl . She has this REALLY REALLY big heart. And has it in her to show compassion and understanding where most ppl wouldn't bat an eyelid. Maybe because she has the power to forgive so magnanimously, the stars made it so that her pain is just that profound. With great power, comes great responsibilities. And in this lifetime she is responsible for that deranged lunatic of a guy she loves. Can't choose who we love 😆. I don't even have words for her. What should I say? Her zombie-like look on the stage, her voice cracking, her not being able to sing- I sooo wanted Voldy to come over there, roll up the sleeves of his cloak and cry 'Crucio' with his wand pointed at the very deranged lunatic! 😡 😡 😡

And as much as I want to bash Manik ... he is my Baba ... I just have this innate urge to protect him .. no matter what ... its VG and his chipmunks that are pissing me off. My Laddooo's heart needn't be broken like THIS !

Writers k baare mein main apna munh naa hi kholun toh behtar hoga, I might just end up earning a notification. -_-

After reading this post I went like "Look at me- openly bashing the very character left right and center whom I've defended like my own child not too many days ago. Making fun of him, calling out on his cheapness whereas it was me who called out on all the other 'angry young men' telly has offered us till now and comparing their assholeriness with Manik's presence of spine."

Who should I blame? The character or the writers?

That's SOME character-assassination I've witnessed in a long, LONG while!

Right now, all I can say is that- NOTHING less than a very, very good redemption track from the makers or watch while the viewers quit one by one!

She will definitely rise. She is a born fighter. Yes, it is tough right now but everything will fall into its own place sooner than later. The pieces of her innocence she just lost will replenish itself soon enough. The young love that'd yet had the chance to fully blossom...may have withered, but she will learn to love again. The happiness that only now carved its way into her heart will once again be found. The tears she bleeds now will dry up. Nandini will nonapologetically move forward and regain her confidence.

As for Manik Malhotra. He crossed the limit today. I am sorry but what he did to this beautiful woman whom he claims to be suffering for was just ridiculously demeaning. He wanted to break her heart--he did that. But, he did not have to poke fun at their memories, at what their shared, at the promises they made. He turned something so beautiful into an ugly nightmare for her. Did he have the right to decide what's right for her? No, he did not. He should have told her the truth and let her make her own choice. Yes, he does have the right to walk away if he wants to be a sacrificial friend for Dhruv, however that will be his sole decision. He had no right to take away Nandini's right to choose. She is not a lamb that can be brought up to the slaughter to be demeaned anyone who wishes to. What's the point of his self-inflicted pain on himself, when he cannot even fight to stay with her? What's the point of this love if it is so weak that he is giving to another for safekeeping.

On another note, I am sorry but love is not what Manik Malhotra did today. He didn't just walk away, he broke her. He broke her hope, her spirit, and her will. I don't know how Manik will redeem himself. That remains to be seen. Although I can safely say, he has a lot of growing up to do, if he thinks just because he left her in tethers, she will now allow Dhruv to mend her back together.

Destiny has this ridiculous sadistic streak. It makes soulmates meet and fall in love, and then it shakes up their lives in a tremor that uproots them and chucks them far far away from each other. But when it is done laughing, it also resets the gameboard. Which is why I have hope that Manik and Nandini will heal, they will grow, and they will find each other again. And most of all, they WILL love again, albeit two very different versions of each other.

Just that,this time their story will not be the one of dreams, but the requiem of them.
