Hi Shilpi,
Fantastic post, but makes me miss LTL so much more.....but it is nice to read all the Tasha scenes and relive all our favorite moments. Am sure we will cover all tasha scenes by the time this thread is completed.Thanks Shilpi for coming up with it.
One of my all time favorite Tasha moment is the last part of the JMM1. Just wanted to add my thoughts to this, am sure this is a favorite scene for a lot of us.As D and N are walking on the road, Nakku and Dutta are both going thru inner turmoil....Nakku realizes that Dutta will keep his word and hand her over to her Aai , and that will be the last she might see of him. She is shown having an argument with her concious whether she shd reveal hertrue self to Dutta, since at that moment that is the only truth hidden from him. She's wondering that she might not get a chance to tell it to him again.
On the other side , Dutta recalls all of Nakku's advice on Love, Jagtap's words about how if a person betrays you, then they were not your true love atall.which makes Dutta realize that Seema and Supriya might not be his true love afterall. in Jagtap's words, when you finally face you love you will not run anymore. You cannot hide from it,he sees the Koyal Nakku, who claims to love him and only him.
His heart tells him to stop her, he does not know the reason, why or what, but he realizes that by loosing her , he will loose a part of himself.He can't explain it to himself... yet....he just knows that he has to stop her......and the way they keep looking at each other as he stops her and walks towards her was just amazing......
And then my favorite part.....The eyelock.....it was so intense, as Dutta is walking towards Nakku, out of the blue Baaji comes in between...and the instant reaction from Dutta is that of dissappointment.....But he quickly composes himself, maybe realizes that Baaji must have also been worried for him and he smiles as he hugs Baaji.And as Baji tell him that from now on he will be his Shadow, Dutta instinctively looks at Nakku, as if sayng that he already has his Shadow, his partner. All the while maintains his eye contact with Nakku, who also does not break the contact. I felt Nakku was trying to capture as much of Dutta as possible, since she knew that after this there was nothing to keep them together, she could just live the rest of her life with the memories of him. And then when she breaks the Eye contact, Dutta's expression chances so subtly...as if saying how dare she....Totally loved that scene.......
Another of my favorite scene is the 16th spetember scene when he gets food to break Nakkus Fast. Nakku is reminiscing all her moments with Dutta and she is hoping and praying for Bappa to show her the right way, She so badly wants the one lie between them go away...and when he asks her what she is thinking about she mentions that if the clouds disperse, the moon will be visible. And for Nakku her moon is her Saab....so she wants the cloud of her secret to go away, so she can finally look up at her moon with a clear conscience.
Loved the way Dutta got her food knowing that she has not broken her fast.The slight smile on Dutta's face.......and Nakku thinking back to the JMM1 when he got her the fruits....very apt. And I guess this is the one scene where Dutta gets conscious that Nakku is looking at him intently...and ask "Aise kya dekh Rahi hai ?" was very cute......and the way he tells her that he learnt to take care of others and then corrects it to "Apno ka Kayal rakna....." from her, nakku must have felt elated that he does not consider her as an outsider anymore.
And then he wonders what she saw in him that made her love him, Becoz he did not have a very high opinion of himself, Since he would boss everyone around and makes decision for them without even consulting them. He did not think there was anything in him that was worth the love of anyone.Nakku is a little taken aback by this, since for her her Saab is perfect, and she assures him that she fell for his heart, since he has a heart of gold, and he always keeps the other person in mind while making a decision, even though it might not be very obvious. He is truly touched by Nakkus observation of him.
There are tons more, will read thru all the other posts and come back with any of my favorite that might be missing :)
