Just who is Nandini Moorthy?
She is no damsel in distress, she is definitely not a crusader , Nandini is just a regular girl who wants to laugh, live. She is the one who will be there to hold you from a fall, she is that girl who just wants to survive . The one who held to her fireflies because she cherished the love they promised especially when she has already lost so much .The night she cried away her hopes, she let go of her fireflies and what they meant to her. She gave up on the true love her mother promised and she took to his words and resigned herself from his love.Here the new dawn beckoned, the Nandini Moorthy saw herself in the mirror, the dreams and memories he has given which has marked her for life. His touch , his gaze and the promise they gave to her. She cannot see herself without remembering his gaze.He haunts her, her touch is lingering on her skin-her soul and her everything. How will she erase his essence from her? He has marked her, she is not herself - a part of him lives , within her, reminding of him and what they shared.The earrings, bangles .. all belonged to him, he has taken them all like her fireflies , he has stolen them from her long ago ..she resisted , she never wanted to part but he has taken over her soul. Broken , yet living. Sad but so alone.He was the one who she never had to hide her feelings from, he evoked a surge of emotions which were unexplained , yet now as she stares at the new her, there is nothing left of her, the face, the stained tears all speak of the pain he has given, all mock of the hurt she has received.When you love someone, truly love them, like she shared with him, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt-you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it's crippling-like having your heart carved out. This has happened to her .The listless, grieving Nandini walked aimlessly, holding on to the hope of sharing her pain, crying it out yet she sought a friend , saving her from a heartache , she best knew will break another poor girl. She marched on, braving his face, his memories even when he told her to ignore it all- Easy for him, but does he not realize that he has forced his way into her life, he lives on in her just as she is stored in the dark corners of his heart.The broken Nandini was everything, she is so special.He be going through a bad case of philophobia. He stands stronger than words and bigger than the paradox box , and then he see her in the crowd and falls apart.Love so vulnerable, so fragile , yet it's all love.
When Manik broke Nandini with his words, "Mission Nandini Murthy - Accomplished' so many of us said how hard it's going to be for Nandini. The girl put his in her prayers, associated him with her fireflies; we were all so worried that how will she find peace now that her biggest sources of peace have been smeared by his ugliness. But today the CVs took it one step further and god, they did it so brilliantly. He isn't just there in the big things, he has marked himself on every small thing of hers. You know I never said it but I always loved the way Nandini's earrings were given focus in any shot of her. My heart had jumped and danced when in that scene he took off her earring. Whenever he was close to her, he made sure to play with her earring. He loved that..those tiny moving pieces of accessories were such a big part of her. Whenever she stood still, her earrings dangled left and right, wrecking havoc in his heart. And today..they were the first things to go. How could he not notice their absence? His eyes seek for those everytime he sees her face..his hands itch to touch and play with them..
The ones that hurt you are the ones who matter.
Only Manik has hurt her like that. When Dhruv broke his friendship with her, we didn't see her cry or be devastated as if a part of her was being taken away from her. But one night away from Manik and the next day she walks as a living picture of a person mourning the loss of something so precious. I said this above..it's different for Manik but Nandini has been the subject of all that he gave her, hurt and beauty both. It's not easy for her to get it all together. Any other person would've shut themselves up in their room and refused to face the world. But look at this girl, putting everyone else above her and marching on. She's breaking piece by piece as she walks and no one is there to notice it and help her gather the pieces..she needs a friend, so desperately. Some time away to be a little free...the weight of the world is on her, someone needs to share it with her..
