Ok friends, here goes the next selected clip ..exposing yet again a fairly vital characteristic aspect of Dutta's persona' in a varied scenario..
"As flies to wanton boys'"
After watching this episode , Lear's lines "As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods, they kill us for their sport!! came to my mind. As mere mortals , there are many moments when we ask "why does God let such and such happen? is he/she blind to misery ,injustice and suffering in his/her prime creation man's life? Does it pleasure him/her to see, innocent people suffer and the wicked prosper!... where is his/her sense of justice and fair play ? why is he/she an innocent bystander allowing all this to happen ... where is his/her might?
Dutta's puts forth questions before Bappa and demands answers...why his mother, friend and everyone he loves is subjected to misery? he wants to know why he cannot behold his beloved wife Nakku due to his painful partial sight? he demands to know why Bappa is playing this hideous game with him and possibly for how long?? Dutta's wrestle with the divine stranger in the episode, outlines visually, Dutta's inability to come to terms with the presence of an infinite force in own his life... Dutta shows in the clip that as humans we constantly require a MIRACLE in our life to CONFIRM the presence of our personal deity...Dutta reminds us through this episode that we might be god's prime creation ...but alas! we are finite ,imperfect ,vulnerable and that there are things to heaven and earth we cannot fathom! but, as mortals we can still in all humility continue to have faith and hope, a faith Dutta has to learn that has to be unconditional and sincere like Nakku's, without expectations of gains or losses .It just needs to be there... I am like many of us feel , that if takes a miracle then so be it!! but god help Dutta's further disbelief...
