The dance of fury, the expression of rage that leads to total destruction!! For the uninitiated, according to Hindu Mythology, Lord Shiva's dance of terrorizing fury is called Taandav, the one that destroys everything meaningful and significant, believed to end the whole universe...
Manik's raging forest fire has finally started consuming everything in its wake. Destroying whatever it touches. The world, it seems, will have to pay the price for his temper, or his hurt!! The monster is in no mood to spare !! And of course, his favorite victim, his natural target...the one he will always be pulled to, be it sorrow or joy or frustration or fury..or love...it will always be his Nandini. He has nowhere else to go...
The first initial shock is over and done with, the man is back on his heels...rocking!! This time literally rocking the world of the ones surrounding him, the shock waves of his rage reaching far and wide!! The earring, ...Oh come on...it had to be with him. Remember he is Nandu' Manik...😉!! Whatever...yes his epic whatever...be the reason..be it his innate desire to torture her, hurt her beyond repair like she had, or be it his desperation for some salve on his wounds, or sweet revenge...or finally...his love for her that he could not control or resist...he forces her to come near, ignoring everything she says, or tries to say, royally...!! Does she want this or not...the last time...Nandini Murty...do you want me in your life or not, with all the complications, all the heartaches...do you?? If yes...step up girl!! And that change of expression in his eyes, so sudden so subtle...so beautiful...gosh such a beautiful memory of our Manik crazily in love with his Nandu flitted across our minds...but before we could rejoice his gentle touch and gentler eyes...the world crashes!! And you can see the mark of sheer incredulity and pain on Nandini's face. He did it...again...another insult...another wound...another scar...!! ( I feel he simply couldn't control himself, but when he looked at her hopeful expression and her wishful eyes...he came to his senses and pulled back viciously...I know...the idiot that I am😆) He threw it all away symbolically...their love, their adoration...and as she found it here symbolically...she will do so in life too. Yes, she prompted this pain...and she is the only one who can sort this out, redeem their precious relationship...no one else can!!
Loved it, to the core...now that was vintage Manik...the mind game player...cruel, harsh, ruthless...the inhuman manipulator...fun!! 😆 But...no...he is gone...forever!! We will never get our original monster back now...we might get a newer user friendly version..Monster 2.0...the classic one is solely for folklore now...don't believe me?? Check out when he was talking with the rest of Fab 5...the break in his voice, the pause when he talked about the thermocol couple and his harsh treatment of them...the monster regrets what he did...knows he was wrong!! Aaah...love is such advanced technology...it modifies, and upgrades all devices...😃
Pain...is such a blessing sometimes. It makes you aware ...conscious of other's suffering too. And Manik's pain is making him wise, mature...the way he is dealing with Fab 5 and trying to deal with Dhruv. Special mention to Cabir and Dhruv...the boys are fab indeed!! The way they understand the undercurrents, the things that he is unable to say or express or is trying desperately to hide, is so instinctively understood by these two true friends. Manik is safe!! About the girls...the least said the better!! 😃
He can't...he simply can't see her cry!! However he might react...like a loose cannon ball with anger and humiliation or love and understanding...he has to ...has to do something!! He just can't stand there, do nothing and see her precious tears slip away. He is furious, raging, chafing by what his so called Mom did...and he is already bruised and broken by Nandini...what happened had to happen!! He was forced beyond endurance...he was pushed beyond boundaries...and Newton uncle knew his science and Manik also too well...when he said every action has an equal and opposite reaction!! The dam broke...all hell breaking loose!! 😆
Why am I happy about this..when he is hurting Nandini and pushing her beyond human tolerance...she is gonna hate him too?? Really?? Just look at the next scene, his raging temper tantrum...that hand (err...no insurance company in the world is ever going to agree to insure his hand...not happening...its a Doctor's Dream...insurance's nightmare!!)...and her reaction!! 😳 She tends, he stands, she cries, he watches...and we worry??😆 The baba, the terrible twos child, is enjoying the attention he was seeking...
On a serious note...he is healing!! He is thawing...the stolid, solid silence is broken!! He is yelling and screaming and raving mad...and that my dearies is really good news!! He needs to get rid of the lava bubbling inside him...that acid that poison needs to come to the fore and explode!! He is learning to move on with his hate, bitterness, disappointment...he is coming alive!! Taandav...such an expression of intolerable pain, the attempt to tear the red host mist of fury...extreme expression of destruction...yet so graceful and beautiful in a terrifying way!! Cause after utter destruction comes the reconstruction, the regeneration!!
(and Lord Shiva had a terrible temper when aroused, but also possessed the most innocent and purest of hearts, the easiest to please God ever in Hindu Mythology...they say he never disappointed the ones who loved...deserving or undeserving)
Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin
