Wheels in motion!

For me the episode was seething with a force, words like motion ,energy ,movement, change were racing around in my mind.........ripples and waves were created to break the monotony in the present stageof Dutta's live who, in the words of Gloucester in King Lear " stumbled when he saw" ..........Also I was reminded of the words of Pascal ,the French physicist " our nature consist in motion; complete rest in death...!!

So we behold the pensive Dutta with his sharp moves of shaving a piece of soft wood into a weapon with a sharp point designed to maim/damage, he was shifting his internal pressure of energy against his foe on his handiwork!!.... Nakku's request of asking him to place himself on the chair as opposed to the ground symbolized her weariness in accepting that along with other changes in his life, Dutta is also having to live a life style unfitting a man of his stature........ Her moving her self to the floor highlighted either their initial relationa shiplwhen they first met i.e servant /master or the husband comes before the wife............Dutta's unwillingness to accept both her motions were grandly shown in the electrifying thrust of the of his freshly made spear which nailed Nakku's sari to the door post/wall ....thus forcefully epitomizing his knee jerk of changing back to PN without his love Nakku beside him!!

Another moment where movement created effect was when Dutta expression of fondness towards Nakku groped for her hand and prisoned it bewteen his palms.....and her sudden, startled move of jerking her hand from his, upon the approach of Mahadev and Sundari....... and Dutta,s gradual move of his face his from Nakku's ,swallowing his embarrassment silently at the thought of being caught off guard in their tender moment............certainly unseen waves and ripples were created amongst the on lookers!

Then came the move to change Dutta's eye medication........ a change we would all welcome I daresay!

Then follows another move......that of Dutta and Nakku moving from their solitude residence to the colorful ,fabric tented Nomadic village of Mahadev and Sundari!

The highlight for me was the oscillation taking place in Dutta of reverting back to one of the many inherent strengths of his persona, that of taking a keen interest in the lives of simple folks around him......his enqiuring questions from Mahadev about the day to day functioning of his people showed us yet again that Dutta is essentially a people man!!! It was not by accident that he was shown using a sickle in the start of the episode ...... a sickle is a curved,sharp tool used by farmers to, cut ,thresh their ripened crop at harvest time........ The sickle as we know is also the sign for Communisim and Red Star and it symbolises the Unity of Peasants and workers world wide!........I had already prepared myself for some big move that Dutta would carry out today........

Ah yes! he was ready to do his bit ......... raise awareness and self esteem in this simple community of people!! Dutta's intervention in the Mahadev / Ranga deal was very moving......... how he reminded people of their labour's worth...... Dutta empowered the people by reminding them of their exsisting exclusive strength they own, that of the knowledge of the handed down by generations of the medicinal strength of ayurvedics........ He prompted them to move towards acquring the due rumneration for their labour.......... motioning them to value their worth......... He showed his understanding of the general procedures in place for collecting rural bye products and selling them to urban traders........... Dutta's amazing quiet strength in motivating this people to be in control of this process of collection,buying ,selling by cutting the middle man out for greater due financial gain ....... not only moved them towards an ownership of what was theirs in the first place........ but also illustrated another victory for our Dutta when he won the conses of the majority........

Now if this was any thing short of a movement, a change, a motion, a revolution in the hearts and minds of the people, then I dont know what is???

ONLY MISHAL IN THE ICONIC ROLE OF DUTTA PATIL!

WOW!!! Everybody's thoughts who couldn't write as precisely and beautifully as you!!! Lovely!
