Surviving... :)

Am I sad? Yes. Disturbed? Yes. Bitter? Not really. Things don't always happen our way. But we can try our best. Hopefully, our petition will work. I am not gonna give up hope till the last moment. Not until Feb 28. Somehow, I was uneasy ever since I heard the first rumor of Mishal's attitude. I know that was all rubbish, but about him leaving....I knew there couldn't be smoke without fire. I still feel there are problems we are unaware of. And while I have every right to chastise Mishal as a loyal viewer, I'll choose not to. I read all the pro and anti Mishal threads. We're all right in our own way, I think. We'll do everything in our power to make him stay back. He can't be but moved by our efforts to see him onscreen. This is the kind of love people often dream of.

To be adulated by people all over, unconditionally. I know all about it. I've worked as a teacher for a while. To tell you the truth, there is no love so beautiful, so unconditional, as that of a child. I've had to change my decision a few times, stay back for all the kids who loved me. But then again, I needed the change. When I shifted cities I remember crying, thinking of all the hearts I'd broken. :) Many of the kids I love were hurt that I chose to leave. I couldn't tell them how much I loved them. Looking back, I don't regret my decision. But yes, I still know I am loved. I'm still in touch with all of them, and they still tell me how much they love me. It is a blessing indeed. When I first heard about Mishal's decision, I was strangely reminded of my own decision. I know my kids felt the same way, they felt cheated that I was leaving them mid-way. But I had no other choice. And while it hurt to see them sad, I had to do it.

Whatever his reasons may be, I hope he makes a wise choice. This is a matter of his career too. He has to look out for himself. But I really hope he does try and see our perspective too. We're giving him a practical solution, asking him to manage this commitment with the other ones, for a few months atleast. If the channel co-operates, we could have a beautiful ending for our amazing show. Maybe in 4 months. That would be enough, I think.

A year ago, I wouldn't have reacted like this. I'd have withdrawn and acted all churlish that it happened this way. But I've grown a lot in the past year. I'd say that part of the credit goes to LTL. It's lifted me out of that pit of despair, told me a tale that no matter how bad things may seem, there's always hope. Faith is something that lives in you, and even when you profess to hate the world, there's this voice in you that screams aloud, and says Believe. I've seen that in Dutta, I've seen myself in him. The way he's fought his fate, he's made me stop crying and take notice. These days, I take it all in my stride, knowing that no matter what transpires, I will survive. I love LTL, and Dutta for this. For giving me myself. For this atleast, I can never hate the show, or Mishal who gave me Dutta. 😊

Here's hoping that our faith wins. Cheers! 😊

And the keyword is, survive, no matter what transpires.

If nothing else, like Vandu(Prettywoman) said, my family and friends will be happy to have me back. The last few months, LTL has literally owned me.😆

Beautifully written Liz.. seriously touched my heart.. You are a very dear and brave lady!!

I am not anti Mishal at all as the guy has not opened his mouth in defence and without that how can you term him as guilty. Buta s I said in another thread all these varying emotions stem from the single truth that he is much loved which is no mean feat considering he has only enacted a fictitious character, but done it in such an overwhelmingly convincing manner that we are prepared to spend sleepless nights pondering over LTl and his decision.

Yes, if MR quits, unfortunately that will be the end of LTL for me as I cannot bear to see any other face for Dutta or nakku with anyone else. And yes, my family will get me back as I think they have come to a point where they cannot see what I see in this show. But then sabka dil ek jaise nahin hota na.. I see LTL with my heart and they with their ears and eyes and there lies the difference which I can never make them cross nor will I attempt to..the beauty of LTl will can only be felt not seen..Tasha are the eternal jodi for me and I would only want the image in my heart not to be tarnished if the show continues after/if he leaves.

I do believe that a lot of positive energy brings you the desired effect. And now with all of us pulling in the same direction to somhow keep MR on board and to still give our show a proper closure, we should be optimistic that we will win.. it will be MR's win as people have loved his Dutta and fighting all odds to save that Dutta. So let's all keep positive and hopefully the PH will be able to work out a deal with MR so that he can give us another 3-4 months to wrap up the story with an ending we all will cherish and take away with us for the rest of our lives..

Liz - Your kids are indeed very fortunate to have a teacher like you who thinks from her heart and that is what differentiates a special teacher from other teachers. I have 2 kids and have come across several teachers, but there are one or two will always have a special place in this mum's heart not only for what they do for the kids but for the parents too.. I always feel that teachers are unsung heroes who mould young lives, but they never get their due...

I'd give you the usual nonsense, that life goes on. It does. But we're richer, for all the joy and sorrow that this character has shared with us. If there's something we've learnt from Dutta over the months, it's that you decide your fate, you fight it, and ultimately you learn to love your fate for making you who you are. I'll always always remain indebted to Mishal for giving me this. No amount of hatred or anger can obliterate this happiness.

Here's hoping that our faith wins. Cheers! 😊
