Evil Restless V Restive Good

hello friends my thoughts on this episode, a fantastic focus on the use of hands and toes!

Evil is restless, chaotic, turbulent, destructive, subversive , treacherous ,conniving ,consuming, devious, powerful till the very end ...

Sudarshan's traits of being a turncoat , an incurable opportunist, and a hopeless sheep was yet exposed by Chaskar's perception of him... as for Kala she has already, tried ,tested and experienced his participation in her plan... so much so that at one point she almost washed her hands off him making it know to him that he was free...

The scene with Kala and Suds at Dutta's bar was of particular interest to me ,or should I say that the manner in which Kala gazed at him baffled me a bit... was she scoffing him? scorning him ?or seducing him?...please elucidate later if you want to ...

Thus despite her drinking, Kala was brimming with turmoil ,empty of peace ,her mind as always was constantly in a spin, plotting, hatching, counter combat strategies against her enemy... Chaskar also as usual, appeared restless, riding on the wave of evil...Sudarshan remained increasingly plagued by his part in this evil game...

Goodness on the other hand is tranquil, calm, fulfilling, complete, harmonious and healing...

Firstly the endearing scene between Mahadev kaka and Dutta ,which tied in beautifully with Naku's words about Bappa " I'eve always thought of you as my friend"...surely one's personal seen or unseen diety, can be thier private friend and confidant... Mahadev embracing Dutta was seen as a deity reassure a vulnerable human... Dutta's use of replica Baji words " if needs be I would lay down my life for a my friend" alarmed me a little ,but I calmed myself by saying that perhaps in Dutta's Dhanda this is what one is likely to say to a true friend to cement a relationship...

And finally comes the Tasha scene based on the sense of touch...special in every respect..empty of lust, filled with tenderness, care but to me purpose orientated...The purpose was to bring healing to each other by applying herbal paste on eyes and feet...

The complete was a serene move towards a private physical contact between the two, triggered effortlessly and spontaneously by the need of circumstances... thus making it easier for the shy Dutta and the equally withheld Naku... to touch...to heal... reminded me a bit of Romeo and Juliet's words " palm to palm ,holy palmers kiss"...

The highlight of the scene was of course, Dutta's bold display of the unconventional act wherein the husband touches his wife's feet ... feet that form the lowest part of the human anatomy , feet, that are lowly for they touch the ground...yet feet have power for they carry the complete frame of the living species within the law of gravity!!!

By the tender touch Dutta not only fulfilled but extended this tradition to the next level of humility that the husband has for his wife...for where there is humility, there is no ego, and where there is no ego the I becomes we... and the we becomes I in oneness... ultimately...

Finally, the scene of the sober Dutta... contently smiling and being fed by his wife ...utter bliss

to watch... signifying, that although within the natural cycle of process , the male is instinctively the provider, predator and protector...however the male is still born of the female, therefore the male has within him the desire to be nurtured by the female species... That's our Naku and Dutta for you... the two hard to forget protagonists of a story called LTL...

So goodness is complete and binding... whereas evil is incomplete and forever fighting to reach completeness...

LTL 1.. forever MISHAL AS DUTTA

hi hammiee

amazing writing & clips .will be back soon😊

like always loved reading it ,lot is said abt dutta & kala ,suds in the clip epitome of foolishness & deceived dutta coz of jealousy for baji ,his joining hands with kala was nothing but stupidity ,for suds it can be said

Everyone is entitled to be stupid ,but some abuse the privilege

kala had hatred for dutta as a child later on she disguised her hunger for power as revenage for her fathers killer ,

whatever is begun in anger ends in shame

baji was an orphan & he found the love which he was deprived of in dutta ,dutta for him everything brother & friend a fly

True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable

one of my fav scene dutta attending nakus wound & sharing food 😊hammiee you made me nostalgic,naku taught dutta to luv in true sense coz her luv was unconditional unlike his fly

Marriage is three parts love & seven parts of forgiveness

as always hammiee u r amazing 😊

Clip 1 ~ What's in a name...

Very apt title hammie and brilliantly explored. This scene was one of the cutest the way he casually approaches it and the way she gets all shy. The title itself is enough said about this particular scene. What's in a name? The name Naku gave Dutta...Saab signified much in their relationship much the same when he tells her her full name Nakusha Dutta Patil...that signified who she is in his life...which is his wife :) very well done hammie...love reading your thoughts it's always unique...
but tera liya hammie has given you umpteen names.. can you give a number hummh?
Clip 2 ~ As flies to wanton boys...

Another well explored scene. Dutta's lack of faith /belief in higher powers merely came as a result of his own experience. For Dutta he went through a lot and with each bad thing that happened he slipped further from the idea there is such thing as god, faith, miracles because frankly if they existed they weren't doing anything to help. It became non existent in his eyes because there was nothing to prove him otherwise. I think it partially has to do with what you expect from this higher power. Life is not perfect but if that's what one wants they'll be disappointed more often, there are challenges you'll face but taking gods hand to help overcome them may allow you to have more faith like Naku had. It's not as if her life was any better of an experience than Dutta yet their perspective differed and each had their own reasons for that...anyway interesting scene. Loved reading it and watching the clip too...ohhh i miss them I really do!
Thanks for your thoughts daya. So faith which can bea belief in the unseen, a conviction, a positive strength of one's own self.. is what Naku had due to her spiritual beliefs, but Dutta falls short of , as he apart of lacking a firm faith leaning, seems to be also struggling to grapple another way of looking at hings that one controls one's own destiny too.
Clip 3 ~ Dutta's Dichotomy...

A clip where decisions are tough. One side he has a sister whom he thought loved him who wants him dead and the other side he has the love of his life wanting him to forgive and forget. Dilemmas. As many have mentioned, Dutta's always had issues with forgiving and forgetting because he doesn't expect a lot of the deception he's faced and when it happens he feels its not something to be forgotten, not when it was the other persons fauly entirely. Then there's Naku who thinks about the others who will be affected by decisions made in haste. Yes people deserve their punishment but not one that will come back and strike in another form...its interesting to see these two with their different perspectives kind of work together this time...esp in this scene where he sees Naku's view completely and very appreciative about it...great piece of written work...enjoyed the read along with the clip :) you have put it very well .. yes two people with differing perspectives as you put it critically.. hers has to be the more challenging one to practice, forgive and then forget.. i think she has seen the down side of life more than Dutta ,hard shoddy times, being publicly held as an object of ridicule..which has made her tough and willing to give people a bit of levy .Dutta on the other hand lives in his affluent settings,cut and dry, professionally alert and on guard at all times ,trusting no one ,hence the take dhande mein kisi par bahrossa nehi. He applies this to every thing ,bar his family.. may be this hardline policy mars his sense of judgement.. where one is likely to check pros and cons and in the best of interests practice forgiveness.

Clip 4 ~ Evil Restless vs. Restive Good

Hammie of all the clips and written pieces this has to be my favorite. You've written it so brilliantly!! I just loved the comparisons and thoughts you have about the little things in this scene. The significance of the touch and heal...lovely words...I don't think I can say much more. You've said it all! One very special scene indeed...there was so much in it! I have to say its been a long while since I've seen this scene...that music and the two of them...gosh it had clutched my heart...i miss them ! :'( great work hammie ...keep it up! look forward to more...
Daya, this was my favorite clip too, there was a wealth of key characters that made a difference in Ltl.. the FB of Dutta/Baji, was moving his yearning for his bosom buddy, yess the scene between N/D them..was very symbolic.. too and his sweet smile in the end humm haan me too miss them baaby..
