I beseech God for ease!
Sorry for the delay and small step...as they say, 'there are no small steps only small thoughts'. Life is intruding heavily upon my time...regardless I present.
Step thirteen - 'Live' Pause.

As an adult we learn that pausing life is difficult, however for the sake of our child's sanity we must learn to 'live' pause it. For we may be able to pause and smell the roses along our paths but by becoming those roses we may 'live' pause life and taste all of its wondrous beauty as we sway along life's routed way.
{Lesson number thirteen by Mayank. Life is like an escalator, whether you stand, sit or sleep, it is forever moving forwards.}
Shilpa Aunty understands that although finding time to pause life is improbable, it is far more impossible to rewind or fast forward past burgeoning feelings, as Mayank tries too.
In the scenes previous to this, we witness Mayank fast forward the conclusion of his discussion with CJ; mute Nupur and rewind their relationship back to a point where they were mere acquaintances. Naivety indeed, for as Shilpa Aunty understands, no matter how many times you may rewind life eventually you have to either play forward or eject!
I applaud MJHT for their well rounded characterization of Shilpa Aunty; a parent but also a woman who intertwines classic wisdom with modern charm. When life impinges upon her leisure time, she 'live' pauses the intrusion and saturates her conversation with Nupur in filmy fun! This 'live' pausing can only be accomplished by the joyful at heart; those souls whom beauty itself seeks out for respite!
Impressively MJHT creators depict Shilpa Aunty as Mayu's mom as much as Shilpa Sharma. In maintaining this distinction before her son she imparts the grace for him to reciprocate. For Mayank Sharma is not only Mayu, but Mayank the trustworthy friend, Mayank the gentleman lover and Mr Mayank Sharma the husband.
Majority of parents 'static' pause their child's development in childhood if not new born baby period, unable to accept evolving avatars, they stagnate through cotton wool suffocation. Shilpa Aunty refreshingly welcomes Nupur to share her home and her most beloved object that resides therein.
Much to Mayank's chagrin she talks to her ally openly in the face of his hostility; unable to unpause this 'live' pause he leaves, understanding that in this scene he is a mere man between two women's friendship.
That final effervescent beaming smile of Shilpa Aunty's encompassing the joy of a mother but also a woman.
