Its been quite a while since I came to IF...I was so busy with my MBBS exams...and look what news I get when I come
Leap? RK dead? A Madhu living without her RK? 😭😭
I was hooked to the show right from the beginning...I did what I professed never to do ...formed a deep attachment to a TV serial...MEIEJ and Rishbala and RK were so different that I was compelled to fall in love with this show...
I spent so much time...dedicated so much of myself to the show...RK was not just a character but a legend...a shining star amidst the crowd of dim lights...Rishbala were not just a couple but a symbol ...a beacon of the kind of deep binding passionate love that allows the purity of human souls to shine through their mortal imperfect earthly bodies...the kind of love that is too flawed to be worshipped and still humanely so imperfectly perfect that it strips one raw.
But somehow ever since the beginning of the pregnancy track I felt a sort of disconnect with the show...no matter how hard I tried I could not relate with RK...the grey realism I had so loved was nowhere to be found...Meiej changed from a grey love story to a stereotypical female-oriented sacrificial saga of greatness...😔
And then came the Ria track which shook me to my core...the core of RK's character...his unchanging passion for Madhu was mutilated and butchered into a pathetic loser...and please dont get me started with KRK track...a track with potential turned into another mess...
I was disenchanted in installments with such setbacks...I realized that I would never get my MEIEJ of old back...I decided I would be indifferent to it all and just watch Meiej for entertainment, for the sake of old times...I told myself...No more will I expect anything from this show!
And yet look at me now...despite all my preparations to protect myself from the fallout...I am still a crying blabbering mess...the show I loved so dearly is dead ...at least to me...I dont care about leaps and new storylines...the story I loved is long gone...and although I thought I was indifferent to it all, my love for this show proved me wrong...
It hurts to see something I loved so dearly be destroyed so callously, out of sheer negligence and politics. But let the money-makers think of the logistics, and let me, the simple viewer, mourn the demise of a brilliant piece of creativity.
I dont want to keep holding on to this show...it is evident that the makers are not invested in the show and their priorities are taking a walk in the deserts with the soldiers...No new storyline can compare with the story of old...and it is better to have a dignified end rather than make a mockery out of what was a unique love story.
I wish VD all the success he wants...I wish DD is successful if she continues with Meiej after the leap. But my relation with the show stops here. My connection to Colors and NF also ends here. I will never watch a show on that channel or by that PH ever again.
If there ever was a murderer of free art...it is those two.
I will always love MEIEJ. And perhaps I love it too much to bear watching a pale shadow of it just to kill time.
Farwell RK...Rishbala ...MEIEJ.
You gave me a lot of happiness...I will never forget you.
So although my heart aches and bleeds...I bid you goodbye. 😭
P.S. - I might make a happier farewell post someday ...but not today...today let me cry and empty my pain...
