Step Twelve - Reciprocation.
A parent's expectation of reciprocation lies no further than that smile the child wears across his heart! yeah! & most of the time the mothers hv only one answer to this smile..that is eyes filled with tears! 😆Brilliant! True, how many times do we have to say 'maa please don't start crying....' But really we love it! 😳
{Lesson Twelve By Mayank. The action of reciprocation is governed by the law of proportionality. An eye for an eye OR a pearl for a pearl. A generous person might return twice as much, maybe even threefold.
However the law of proportionality is not only inadequate but borders upon insolent in one instance; that is when it relates to your mother's love.}👏i agree completely! Quite obvious, so even the blind stumble upon it! 😳 Okk, i m starting from mayank here, i simply love the way he look at the picture of his mom & promised to be a good child..when the bell rang , his face lights up with joy thinking abt mom coming back home.i can so connect with that, be it a little kid or a practical & matured guy like maaynk."Mom is here " this feeling always bring a smile in our face na! Wondeful mou! 👏👏👏True, that feeling of 'mum is here' never leaves us...until she does...😭
I love the manner in which despite her long day, feeling very much under the weather, she sincerely smiles upon greeting Mayank at the door. No chastisement over the ration bill, no using her ill health as an excuse to wear a permanent frown. She bears in mind the reason she bears with life's trials; her son's happiness.
So true..but i think this one is Mom's special.every mother hv this.quality They manage to give a smile back to their kid even in their utmost pain....even though may be the child doesn't even bother to reply smile back! I know, that is why when they are show their sadness, I worry threefold!
On a personal note, I have always loved it when a person takes another's bag and belongings; to me it signifies a physical manifestation of their tacit intent,to bear the burdens of their beloved .
c this is what i was talking abt.the similarities, i m not saying this here to boast abt myself, but i do it every time when i go for shopping or go anywhere with my mom, none told me it is a quality & I admit i never do that thinkig abt to bear the burdens of their beloved.i do it as habit....u can say , but yap i m happy to find the similaritiesIt is true, we never pinpoint intentions, but find our reason intermingling with those feelings that permeate our hearts. Mayank essays the role of 'parent' once again but is unable to maintain this position for long before being returned to the place that not only suits him best, but that place his heart craves to rest; little Mayu to his mom! That oh! so cute, child-like and sullen face!oh little mayu😳.isn't he the cutest thing ever!😳 i cannot help it but to go gaga over him here which is completely off topic😆Enough said! 😳
i love the way she complemented her child.his effort with just one line."khushbu bahar tak arahithi"..one line yet enough to bring a proud smile to little mayu's face! Moms r always best at doing this kind small tricks! Again, true! 👏👏👏 Just one word, one gesture from my mother and i am that little school girl looking to my mother for my 'merit' badge to be pinned to my heart!
"Mou poulat ke bait mat jaana..ke maine itnay pyar se banaya aur tumnay kaiya bhi nahin!" look how easily she can anticipate his reaction without even given him the chance to react actually!!!!mothers are masters! Sometimes I don't know even how I will react, but my mother will tell me, you won't like it, AND she is correct! In truth, they know us better than ourselves, even if we don't admit to it! In the scene previous to this, Mayank announces to CJ his intention to 'delete' his mind and reset himself to 'original' Mayank. He commences this defragmentation by prioritizing his life's duties, firstly his Mother and secondly his studies. However his failure to these responsibilities is not the real reason for that morose face; his heart aches along with his mother's head.I love that fact that even in her ill health, Shilpa Aunty's 'sass' remains ebullient as ever!
"Maanat ka pal meetha hota hai..pata nahin tum itnay kurvey hoga ho!" yeah! no frown , rather she is trying to make his son less worried abt her by teasing her just to show him that she is all fine!That is what I hinted to before, in step eight, I think about consistency! Whether you are happy or sad, your outer appearance is consistently merciful, that you may a foundation upon which your child can depend upon. Imagine if she had behaved as some parents do, rude sullen, in no mood to 'react' to Mayu or his efforts! Mayank would be even more lost, thinking what his goals are for his life!?
I love the similarities between this scene and the earlier scene with CJ. There CJ and here Mayank both listen to truthful untruths. Both CJ and Mayank do not outwardly scoff at the speaker's comments. There, CJ knows one cannot hide from love, however I also believe that she knows that Mayank knows this fact too, she knows he is not deluded, thereby only a mild look of ludicrousness at Mayank's intents.
Here Mayank lets Shilpa Aunty's retirement plan trump his part time job, not because he believes her words, and I also believe that Shilpa Aunty knows that he does not believe her too, BUT he does believe that he will make her words become truth!
this scene deserve a big thumbs up👍🏼 i loved it when he actually said deal to his mom.he was so sure that he will accomplish everything in life that she wants & he is gonna fulfill the dreams she has seen for him oneday for sure! .It is THAT source of motivation that is the difference in the zeal of Mayank 'the student' as opposed to even 'CJ', a bright student for sure, who will go far in life but NOT zealous.
It is love in both the scenes that bind the untruths to future truths.
Once again we are honoured to witness the graceful beauty of Vaishnavi and Arjun, as Mayank 'nurses' his mother back from the brink of tension!
again.beautifully portrayed by vaishnavi & arjun...👏such simple thing..who will answer the phone?.but u just love the way they show it , so much affection, so much love..just what was needed there for this scene Excellently noted! 👏⭐️Even that thermometer part...😳So emotionally uplifting, no matter how many times i repeat my heart says 'play it once again' !
Then that call from destiny to Mayank, reminding him that it is not in his hand to create the ties that bind. That confusion with an added layer of chaos; had Mayank become Rosaline to Nupur's Romeo? I love how the writers scripted, Nupur's straight to the point phone call, no formal greetings cutting immediately to that first perceptively intruding question! well thats nupur for u.jo dilpe wohi jubape 😆.whats the point of wasting time in formalities?😆I miss this Nupur, that zest for the curiosities of life! She was that sparkling bang in Mayank's first phooljaari! That irrepressible smile creeping over 'focused' Mayank's face, mind and heart signifying a deep truth; although for most men the way to their heart is through their stomachs, for Mayank is not! Surprisingly it is neither through his mind. For Mayank, the way to this heart is through this heart. yeah! it just that his mind never let him accept that truth so easily at the first place , he always hv to fight his famous dil & deemag ki ladahi & at the end it is his heart that always win!😆
We can escape into our imaginations from our minds, BUT where do we go to escape our hearts...maybe dreams, but there too our beloved reign!
The queen of his heart has always been Shilpa Aunty. Her generosity makes ample room in that most guarded and distinctly remarkable vessel for Nupur. This generous spirit of Shilpa Aunty's suffuses Mayank's soul, saturating him, deep into his core so that all his actions are imbued by it. For when he warns Nupur not to come crying to him when things fail upon her, it is his who returns to her; when destiny interrupts his sincere and goodly life's goals with a road block, he routes out a new scenic journey; when Bauji thrusts upon him the 'burden' of love, he adjusts the scales and finds therein balance.
i agree.Mayank learn to live life from his mom.a person who single handedly face life's struggle but never fail to accept & enjoy the beauty of life with a smiling face.& it kind of teach him to face any situation with the basic "good"ness or as they say "niyat " achi honi chahie.for anything done with good niyat will result only good for u! , whatever problem or clashes he may face in life he always dealt it with his honesty & with his good "niyat" & at the end the result was in his for. like he got Nupur finally after his struggle , but still bauji had to give him his Nupur at the end.& the only example he could hv learn this all from .is obviously only shilpa aunty !!!!!Two things mou, firstly you won't believe what step thirteen is called....Two, your have singled out a very good point. He dealt with bauji so well. I know so many real life Mayank and Nupur weddings, where the 'blamed' partners try to distance or estrange their beloved from 'their' enemies to their union!
This is how Shilpa Aunty's radiance lights up Mayank's soul. This is the truth of goodness, love and light; it overflows through our sinews, veins and blood, overwhelming our souls and cores looking for new avenues to freely flow upon; so that when it is our turn to reciprocate it is never proportional but exponential.
