M-EIEJ, Episode dated 02/05/2013 : A Rationale

It's so true isn't it that "vengeance or any form of retaliation is not for the righteous"...just as is the case with Madhu, it is indeed going to be an arduous task that she has undertaken...

I found the episode engrossing one as it reflected some interesting and appealing features...

Firstly, we got a glimpse of transition that has come upon Madhu after her resolution of teaching RK a befitting lesson...

Secondly, this was just the beginning of what she had embarked on...and she will come across or will have to face many such conflicting situations where her self-respect will get pitted against her scruples/values/sense of righteousness...

Thirdly, it was an all ladies show today and what could be more engrossing when three competent actresses are given the charge...they are bound to have all our attention...SM, SS and DD carrying on their parts with elan...particularly Drashti, she made Madhu's dilemma so real...

Fourthly, I liked it that Dipali's condition has become like that of the boy in the story "cry wolf"...and I want it to remain so...she can come up with all her schemings and ploys but she should eventually end up like as in a "spider's web"...

My parting shot on this resolve with which Madhu has come back to RK :

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?" (Rabbi Hillel)

So true if today Madhu doesn't fight for her self-respect then who else will...if today she doesn't strive to teach RK a lesson in love then no one ever will or can...

Nice post.
@BOld
Indeed. If one has NO self-respect...then love is meaningless and one cannot expect nor will get respect from anyone else.

Very nice post. THis is Madhu's fight her battle. No one especially in RK mansion is there who can give a helping hand. Radha proves that tonioght. One day she would say Madhu is her daughter, next minute when something goes against her wish, she goes against madhu.

It is time Madhu stop thinking about Radha and others and do this for herself.

thank you so much all,
for your encouraging words...
