Holi toh RK ke dil mein lagi hai.

What should also burn in this Holi is his EGO - big time. What should arise from this aag is his determination to win Madhu back the right way.
MM,
Loved how you put that. Yes, it was night of Holika Dahan and RK made a full introspection on all the information he had with regards to his passions, his gains and his losses.
Yes something bad has to be burnt and it is happening.
Last year, during Ganesh Visarjan, we had realized how it was Rishabh Kundra's visarjan of "sense of loss and faith in Ganesha". He was new Rishabh from that point, he was able to make peace with both his father and Ganesha...a much needed balance in his life.
I called it then a watershed movement. Pasting the link here.
The writers here dramatize the festive concepts with core meanings in place. Be it Ganesh Visarjan, be it Karva Chouth and Holika-Dahan & Holi
I myself like festivals in its nativity spirit. Something starts moving me...all the people around me...the sounds, the activity and strangely I am in a trance even if i am participating or not. I so accept the festive principle...without any questions...tremendous amount of faith flows in and I am just happy with all the others. Its like Godbole of "The Passage to India" 😆
Once in the hostel days, on Shivratri afternoon...with nothing to do...dozing off the reading material on my bed...in all the eerie quiet...I imagined a well ; and a huge, fat, humungous like beyond anaconda size cobra...the cobra like kaa was soring high and high and high and finally its hood opened and it hissed. I woke up.
When I narrated to my mom over phone, she said, the Shiv-ratri spirit got into you. I said, but I was not even praying and everthing was so calm around me ...all alienated, she said...that's why you dreamt. 😆
ETA: Hima, Zoya...Memories for us.
I see that the Oct 11th thread, had lot of my views on RK's character which still holds the love story together, including the revenge. 😆 😆
