Hey Sabah,
After a Long time I post in a topic connected to you. 😃 I have been a little messed up with a lot of issues lately, somehow missed out on all good topics and getting sucked into unnecessary ones. Now that I am here I plan to write a long reply, hope i don't frustrate you. 😳Rinky, as soon as I saw that you had posted I 'ran' here but tripped, fell and got impaled upon duty. However bandaged and with a smiling heart I am here at last....😃

Now what MJHT means to me? Its a strange question to answer because going by my practical instincts it should mean very less but if I search deeper probably its a lot more. Very intriguing opening...

Going by the experiences in my own life which has always put my views. ideals at test I have come to realise that in the path of life we should do something completely out of pleasure and not in the interest if gaining something. Profit and Loss are highly relative and circumstantial objects and which we follow to become more "successful" in the worldly sense though deep within we may never know how much we gained or lost.Wonderful! 👏 In a world where the word principles has become synonymous with excuse, I am genuinely quite heartened to see that there are still people who are not capable of making principles but living by them too!
MJHT is that one portion of my life which is not really connected to any substantial gain factor in my life. Something which happens more out of interest, connection........Main reason why I liked this show was the way it potrayed the female characters......The fact that you watch the show gives it credibility. Love your 'constellation' I can see it is going to contain very bright light, so let me just adjust my heart's lens.
I generally detest such serials where women are projected as cry babies. I have never seen such serials and neither will I....I do believe that Television affects the viewers in a strong way so i always felt that the potrayal should be forward in nature not backward. MJHt does project women in a good light...Very apt. I too have found that when i cry in front of others, due to others I become weakened, however when I cry with myself, about myself, I become stronger. This world's cruelty is hardly ever about it, it is about how you deal with it.
Being a girl who had a lot of similarity with Gunjan at a point of time I sympathised with her. I liked the "diva" Diya who is modern yet not bereft of goodness, mainly in serials now a days a confident modern girl is portrayed as a vamp.CJ the tom boy who also reminds me of myself- I am a strange combination of CJ and Gunjan..Dont know if you understand the concoction well enough....😆 Now, I would really like to meet you! That would be a wondrous sight indeed! I am more of a gunjan but desperately yearning to be a CJ! I now understand the difference between us. Then comes Shilpa Aunty one of the most beautiful mother characters I have seen on Indian television in a long time, i instantly fell in love with her the first day I saw her. Even my mom loves her and Mayank's interactions....True, Arjun and Vaishnavi have given us a wonderful portrayal and the writers should be applauded for their remarkable characterizations. They are no less roles models, and I do not say this glibly! They looked so convincing that she mistook them as "real" son and mother. The other characters were lovable in their own rights. But the Character that has kept me hooked onto the show is "Nupur"....Same pinch. AND for so many of us, however I am sure your 'why' will be quite unique!
From the time I started reading fiction/ literature...strong spirited female characters have appealed to me. Women who live their life in their own rights not just get sucked in by the flow. Who make difference in the world around them and not just adjust to fit in the mould of feminity, The vigour, passion of the characters attract me the most. That is beautiful! 👏👏👏In a world where nonchalant too cool to care; boredom for life and love of pessimism, this is very refreshing! 👏
Though that doesnt mean I am not fond of the male characters. I feel a lot for Mayank and love the innocence of Benjy. I still miss Deodhar Sir. 😕Me too. Actually i miss a lot of people who are still there too. 😕
I was also fond of the fresh fun and heart touching moments/relations in the serial...Like the adjustment problem of two town girls into a big city, This is why i fell for Nupur, her losing herself in the city but finding her 'better' self there too. Her alienation and then her unashamed acceptance of who she is, embracing it with all her heart. the way a single mother brought up a son who was so attached to his mother and his responsibilties towards her that he forgot he was a teenager too and should have fun.... I think 'I' have said enough on this issue...The Dia- Samrat- Benjy-Dodo relationship....I am a great sucker for Dia-Samrat CJ- Mayank, the sister bond- Gunur interactions...They were so simple yet lovelyVery well noted! 👏
Then coming to the actors, I have to admit MJHT has a very talented and fresh star cast who are extremely dedicated to their work. I am particularly very fond of Vaishnavi Macdonald, Arjun Bijlani and Rati Pandey. Again, yes the MJHT production were blessed that they found such actors who not only breathed effervescent life into the characters but gave them a natural charm that combined was very believable! Rati Pandey being my most favourite. My favourite is always whomever I am watching at the moment! 😆The woman who has played Nupur with such mastery that i ca never imagine anyone in her place. Being the fan of Nupur I have seen extreme experiments being done to her character, her character according to the words of Rati Pandey herself was not expected to go far but it did due to the brilliant potrayal by the actress herself. Now when people say "i Am like Nupur" I give 60% of the credit to her for her unwaverng hardwork and trust in the scope the character provides. It is always wonderful to see people beat other's low expectations! I love that too! She moved me to such an extent that even I started writting O.S, character analysis and all sorts of stuffs which are NOT my forte and not even intersting to me otherwise. This is praise indeed! But yes Rati's potrayal of Nupur moved me so much that a very new different side of my character came to the forefront. Nowadays when i watch her on screen and off screen I feel a gentleness flowing through me A want that the lady gets all that she derserves in her life. I hope that they all do. As I say over and over...what is the worth of one moment of happiness? HOw many have mjht, Rati...etc given us? Are we not indebted? Her basic serenity,humility,dignity, talent and innate beauty is such a phenomenon in this highly course frivolous racy life that I pray quit a few times for her though i am not into praying for myself. She is the example of such people who inspire you and make you want to believe in the justice of life and hard work. Simple Living and high thinking....My aim of life and something i see being lived and enjoyed by Rati Pandey. An actress whom i have come to love like a blood relation and whose pains and struggle seem to bother me more than mine own.I never knew a rather selfish person like me could be so attached to someone who doesnt even know me or whom i would never meet. MJHT brought out that side of my character too.people who touch our souls, who make us grow even in the darkest of times, reach for the light of the stars are rare to come by. If we find them, in books, tv, days gone by, they are none the less.
I would also like to mention the forum here. I guess one very major reason why I am still stuck on MJHTis the forum,maybe i would have stopped watching otherwise. The constant mental stimulation I received here made me want to see the serial further so that I might discuss it with people here. I have always been rather cool and level headed and seldom loose temper or get emotional but the level of attachment you grow towards fictional characters once you start coming to I-F intrigued me.... Though i guess I am still able to maintain objectivity. This forum has brought me hope that there are people who are well able to bring a new lease of life to this world we inhabit.
It was also due to MJHT that I actually started taking interest into the nitty gritty details of Television world and serial making.Starting from how the Channel functions to how the spot boy is paid i started keeping a record of all. The various aspects of creativity, technicalities, apart from all that nice ad wonderful we see I came to know of all the hard work and problems people take to create such a make believe world. AND BELIEVE ME I WAS ENTHRALLED.....This is definitely very unique, I don't think this thought has even made it into my spam inbox of my mind! Wonderful! 👏
MJHT in a way has opened me to a number of new things which i didnt know existed or didnt care. I have always been rather vary of virtual interactions being a victim of online stalking myself but I-F gave me a new podium of expression and helped me make really good genuine friends.MJHT in a way was like a plant which flowered from the soil of my life and then dropped seeds which grew even more plants....It is like a beginning of a cycle....beautiful Rinky...👏
I still ponder sometimes if my attachment towards MJHT is indeed rational and practical or not yet I return to it almost everyday. Maybe somethings are better left unexplained. Cause they make more sense then....Analysis YES! Dissection NO! We should be able to see the beauty of the woods and the intricacy of the trees!
Hope you understood all that I wrote cause I know it is HUGE...I really appreciate the way you let me know of your topics and replies though I seldom reply myself.no problem. Rinky if you remember it was you who inspired me to 'express myself' freely upon this forum, up until I had been quite silent...Honestly that was meant to be 'credit' and NOT 'blame'😳😆
