"Mea Culpa"
The leaves tell _of the flowers death _of the hours spent
_in this graveyard _no one tending to its pain _no one tending to its
shame
__The sin is all mine __
This past weeks episodes finally culminated to what I had been saying in
my few posts all along that JW as a parent has placed Bani's children's
lives in danger… this was bound to happen sooner or later…as his rapist/
his wife's murderer was lurking around at WM with the custody paper
trump card in her hands all along. Her threat could have been nullified in
these past five years….JW as the man, he is depicted to be could have
done anything to ensure the safety of his children, if not as a man then
atleast as a father…(lets not go into how he could have even tried to clear
his beloved wife's name from the Sahil murder daag on her)
(This reminds me of some past earlier episodes where JW was the Raging
Bull when Pia/Push happened..JW raged like a wounded lion, he moved
Heaven and Earth to punish PP…to me as a viewer that kind of passionate
intensity that was displayed by JW in the destruction of PP has never been
shown again…JW sexual ego was hurt at that time, he had wanted Pia as a
man wants a woman…the extent of his desire for her is very evident in
that intense display of destruction…never has so much intense
destructive passion been depicted in this character. With Bani.)
In these past five years he should have been able to as a man of his
caliber and stature to nullify what is transpiring in his and Bani's
children's lives today)
-A father has put his children's lives in danger…(inspite/despite the
circumstances)
-Pia has gone into Bani Full Killer Mode..(this was to be accepted)
-Pia has used her trump card to the fullest…that JW seemed to have
dismissed as bakwaas all along…
So, JW Fatal Attraction has a script ready for him …a script where it is
written that Pia was his first love, well he did say at one time "I love Pia"
and he did say to Pia at one time before going to Dubai "Pyar tumse kiya,
Shaadi ussey" and he did say to Pia that you were my first love..

Bani's Situation…
In past Friday's episode, Bani agrees to marry AD because she wants to
give happiness to a woman who has loved her, a stranger, and embraced
her as her own daughter…
Let me say, to me, in Friday's episode all actors were splendid, all of
them.. be it JW/Pia or MIL AD and Durga/Bani….all of the actors were just
upto par….in sync..it was one of the best episodes of late….in pacing, in
acting....
Bani says that she has lived for her own till now and for the ones that she
has loved, but why not live for someone who loves her? As life is indeed
bigger than us. The need to fight the obstacles and not give in to them.
AD has taught her to live.
Bani,, it seems for the first time after her mother's death has experienced
a mother's love with AD MIL….(I like the MIL)..If one listens to Bani's
dialogue, it is defining her current pov…why she is making the decision
that she is…
The A-Durga scene in the garden was one of the most touching scenes
ever…it was filled with so much pain and tenderness..these two really do
understand each other..more so AD..he understands Bani's pain, Bani's
difficulty in saying yes, he knows about her, he knows her inside out, and
he wants her happiness, I love how they shot this scene, the framing of
the ADurga shot perfectly depicted both the characters difficult situation
with AD in the background and Bani/DDG in foreground…him wanting to
give her a sign that he understands her pain, sorrow-- how hard this
decision must have been for her…he reluctantly places his hand on her
shoulder to assure her that he is with her, that everything will be
allright…that he understands….One of the best scenes of late in KS post
leap..
Bani/DDG was shown as a woman who has loved so faithfully and lost so
ruthlessly by the soul shattering betrayal of ppl whom she had loved and
considered to be her own...this was an episode for a woman who has lost
everything, even her own life, to perhaps consider the possibility of
embracing another chance at life…
