Why joo people be dissing KY2? N that too just when I got my feels back after weeks of detachment n indifference.. 😒

And what's all this talk about Baba being dumb, patronizing, losing credibility etc etc..

Arre kyun bhai? This is Manik we're talking about.. he's a born manipulator.. probably learnt about give n take before he even learnt to speak.. just think for a second.. in the spot days when he bullied her, how was he able to accomplish it.. by threatening her with that stupid contract.. but what about now? What is his leverage with her NOW? He has absolutely nothing to hold her.. even the guilt thing is over n done with.. so how is he certain that he can get away with all these shenanigans.. because he is smart and he does know exactly what weighs with her.. he even used it during the Vinegar drinking dare.. the key words.. "FOR ME".. he knows the value of these words and he knows the power they hold on her.. that she will go above n beyond just on the strength of these words alone.. NOW tell me, if that's not absolute trust, then what is?

Whom do we throw tantrums, display our moodswings and act pricey with? Only our closest loved ones with whom there is an absolute guarantee that they will indulge us and not abandon us at our lowest.. If he did not have have this surety, this instinctive complete faith that he act his childish and temperamental worst with her and she will love him anyway, he would not dare to do it.. never has in all these years.. this is his greatest gamble.. showing all his insecurities and fears and confusion openly.. the only thing is, he hasn't consciously realized it yet.. but he will.. that's the whole point of this track.. for him to see how much he already has let her see of his true self.. n how she is not running away no matter what.. this is not him trying to 'test' her love or him presiding in judgment over whether they can be 'together'.. no, in so many ways this is his version of the 'trustfall'.. him learning how to surrender himself to her.. n just live in 'hope'.. the reason he keeps emphasizing them 'surviving' each other till fusion concert is because he want to know for sure whether she would really still want him after she sees his dark side.. he doesn't use the IHUs and make-you-suffers for the meaning they convey, their purpose is to see literal-minded Nandu's reaction to them n how she perceives those words... right now his monster act is deliberate, controlled and he can stop before he crosses a line.. but there will be occasions in the future, when that won't be the case.. he might be too lost in his head to realize what he is doing.. will Nandu run away or be scared of him then? Or will she stay and see through him? He needs to know these answers before he can really commit himself once again to their 'hameshas'..

As for Nandu, my biggest problem with this track is that I felt she was enabling his crazy and indulging his whims when she should be simply giving him a reality check instead.. but now I feel that wouldn't work, because he is too afraid to listen right now.. he will only lash out worse if she tries it.. also, Nandu enjoys his crazy.. in fact it prompts her to bring out some of her own (guitar-strap cutting, fake catch-falls).. she is okay with his barbs n silly dares as long as he is NOT drinking the vinegar himself (literally n metaphorically) or harming his music.. but luckily he still internalizes these concerns of hers.. so he will make a genuine effort with his music, maybe even try to curb the self-destruction but doesn't mean he'll give up the games in the meantime..😆

The question that really bothered me for a while is whether this was all extremely unfair to Nandu.. was he taking advantage of her 'too responsible' nature again and was she letting him? I'm still undecided on this one n it's not because of him but rather her choices.. if she enables his DQness then he enables her escapist tendencies without even realizing it.. n in as much as I'm not a fan of this attitude of hers, fact of the matter is she signed up for his brand of insanity.. she is the one who insists on wanting to be him come what may, is determined to consider it a challenge and overcome regardless of his own cynicism over their ability to align their clashing personalities.. so if that's her stance, all I can is say is so be it.. "Hope" FTW I suppose..😉😛
