So Mais' post got me thinking about Mukti. Mukti is heading to rehab for her drug addiction. But this seems like a stopgap solution to me, like putting a plaster over a gaping wound when what you really need is some stitches.
While drug addiction is her immediate problem, they also need to address her lack of self-worth and how it is tied to Harshad.
The pills are a problem, but Mukti spiralling towards self-destruction and suicide needs to be addressed.Because without addressing that Mukti relapsing is a huge possibility.
She uses sex and then the pills as a crutch to numb her pain, pain that seems to be tied to her relationship with Harshad.
And while I do think Cabir's near death at the hands of Harshad seems to have shaken her out of her haze, I really think we haven't seen Mukti close the chapter on Harshad.
She was ready to kill herself because of that guy. Closure with Harshad is a must for Mukti ,because her self-worth seems to be all tied up in her relationship with him, which is worrying and pitiful.
Rehab is only a temporary solution for Mukti, she needs psychological therapy TBH.
Also on a different note, Mukti while defined as a Goth is actually an Emo. both are subcultures within the periphery but now gaining more acceptance and seen as mainstream cool but Emos are emotionally fragile with a pretty much unhealthy obsession with death and suicide.
Mukti also kind of reminds me of two women from two different plays of Tennessee Williams, " A Streetcar named Desire", Blanche DuBois and Laura from "The Glass Menagerie",more Blanche than Laura but with that brittle fragility that can break and shatter any moment, evocative of glass, hard and brittle ready to shatter to pieces any minute.
Hope I did make some sense😆😆😆
