Hi,anrika,
Noticed,the topic,walked way ,but the pull was great so was drawn back to respond ..
To begin with I accept the suitability of the title with the theme of the story.. The title is written in a colloquial style, denoting it is no saga set in period high aristocratic or literary realms , but a glimpse into the lives of contemporary common folk., although not every first common person is a don, but may be a maid? , LAAGI is possibly the dialect used for some connection or bond between people. THUJHSE, rings of an informality, between two people, exempt of the politeness of tumse.
Now the main word that interests me is the term LAGAN , which to my understanding is two fold.One is wedlock,which the protagonist had one to many of. The act is repetitive in the story, at various intervals to juggle the plot and maintain interest.
The second message that LAGAN gives me is a gravitation towards, a quest for, a wanting, concealed at times and gradually revealed at times..
So I see, Dutta's lagan towards his family. A lagan for his friend.An odd lagan for his profession, his power and status. A negative soul destroying lagan for wallowing in the past, and an obsession with bouts of self harm.
However, the lagan that appeals to us most, is that of which he gradually senses towards the servant girl, and with her help finally, experiences the lagan of wanting to change the old order of things in his life and starts life a new!
Thank you for a thought provoking topic,and yes fantastic to see you again.xx regards hammie.
