u kno kavsie..havent heard either of the two stories..but they are truely touching .. each has its own thing to learn from ..
u kno, for me, right/wrong..moral/immoral.. are all for ME to decide..the society might have made certain rules, but whether or not I feel like obeying them, is something that I wud decide on my own..doesnt mean I wud go on rebelling every rule that ther exists, cuz if it makes sense to me..then I wud follow them .. if at the end of that act, I can face myself in forn of the mirror widout being ashamed ...then I know that for me, I have done the right thing..n I wud be proud of myself for that ..
n ofcourse in this journey of mine..dont I fail? yes I do..lots many times...but I tell myself to get up on my own..cuz of my own mistakes..my own wrong decisions..n then I feel, "oh mayb had I listened to the society, I wudnt hav gone thru this...I wud hav avoided it.." but had I avoided it, I wud still be at the same place wher I was before I made that mistake..having made tht mistake n falling down n then rising on my own is the biggest learning in life .. n I guess thats whats called experience ..
I do not think I hav experienced much in my 22 yrs of life.. infact nothing at all .. n if tomo somebody asks me what I wud hav dun if this happens n tht happens..I wud go on by my past experiences..going by the hope-ish, positive person that I m..that I wud say that I wud do this n do that .. n when that time actually comes, whether or not I wud do it, I cant really say NOW! but definitely, I WOULD make an effort towards it, since I have once thought abt a way for this ..
to be honest *touchwood a thousand million countless times* I have never seen close deaths in my life, to kno how it feels when someone close to u has died..so I cannot really predict how I wud react then .. esp if its someone realllyy close to me ..
u kno its this quote that I love..its my prayer that I always sing to God..whenever I m losing faith in myself..n I realise that all I need to look is within me..because all the answers lie within me ..
Dear God,
Give me..
the strength .. to accept the things I cant change
the courage .. to change the things I can..
and the wisdom .. to know the difference!ther are some things in life u really cannot change..some things that are meant to happen to u..that are FATE..that u jus hav to accept no matter what .. n how u take them, is something that u learn only wit time ..
I know and have experienced quite a few things like that..n death is definitely one of them .. I kno ppl here on the forum asked me thousands of times, what I wud hav done if gunjan had died .. n I had an answer for them jus for the initial two days..I cried a lot, almost till I lost myself..n then became extremely numb..I wud still watch on the show for sam .. because I adore him a lot..wud I hav been happy to see him wit another girl? initially I wudnt have .. I wud have been depressed, hurt, angry, irritated..NOBODY can take chashmish from his life..but then, wud I have accepted later on? and then I thought to myself..since I cud relate the best wit gunjan..what wud I want? tomo, if I die..wud I want my best friend/my lover to move on in life? or wud I want him to remain lonely? definitely I wudnt.. because I lost on in life..I wudnt want him to lose out on HIS life .. I wud want him to see..moving on in his life .. experiencing love..feeling love, because him feeling love...wud not take him away..wud prob jus make his soul even closer to mine, since he is feeling love .. he may not really remain "mine" so to say .. but then, he wud be living happily..a smile on his face .. thats all I wud ever want, probably ..
after restrospecting soo much..after thinking so much .. its THEN tht I actualyl prepared myself to see..that sam wud be... n shud b wit another girl..if it ever happens so!
this is jus my POV abt sajan/gunjan..my eyes ..
because for me...if I m watching a show/characters so close to my heart .. so much so tht at certain points of time they cease to exist as a fiction to me..then what applies to me, in my life, applies to them too .. n because life isnt a bed of roses always, because it doesnt always have a happy ending .. I wud see this as jus a way of life ..
n jus as the sam in the show wud need to move on..I wud need to move on from MJHT/SaJan ..
but if I wud jus look around n see..that life is still beautiful.. that gunjan dying doesnt take her away from me..but she remains in my heart..an eternal person n someone soo close to me ..
this is all the emotional aspect of course ..
seeing things from a technical POV..then it makes it all the more easier for me, to accept the death of a character per say..if I cud jus convince myself, that its gunjan who's dead..NOT sanaya..sanaya is still joking around, laughing..being at her jolly best...m sure she wud hav left wit her radiant smile..n prob joked around abt how the sauce tasted weird when applied to her face or something! n thus giving me tons of reasons to laugh as well ..
I do not care abt the politics that took place off screen.. because for me, I m nowhere in picture ther to judge the creatives or anybody else responsible for the decision..also, each incident has several perspectives for me, n since I wasnt actually present ther, its difficult for me to fathom the exact 'victim' n 'culprit'..
for me, its their show, their actors, their characters..they wud do what they want..when we as viewers, watched their show BECAUSE they started it in the first place..had they not started MJHT, I wudnt hav had these pleasant memories at all.. I wud thank them for giving me my two yrs of joy..n move on ..
phew! I guess that was a long one .. but it deffo made me think a lot .. thanks soo much for this post kavsie..finally I got everything out .. 🤗
signing off..wit this song..which is one of my absolute favs ..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwnoNVOj1Fsanother turning point..a fork stuck in the road..
time grabs u by the wrist..directs u where to go..
so make the best of this test..n dont ask why..
its not a question..but a lesson learnt in time..
its something unpredictable..but in the end is right..
I hope u had the time of your life..
so take the photographs n still frames in ur mind..
hang it on a shelf..in good health n good times...
tattoos n memories n dead skin on trial..
for what its worth..it was worth all the while..
its something unpredictable..but in the end is right..
I hope u had the time of your life..I guess it all ultimately boils down to one thing for me..that cherish ur life..however it is, every moment..every memory, every pain, every sorrow..every happiness..because thats yours..n thats the only thing nobody can snatch from u..because everything else, cud b taken away from u..but once u hav these things then u wudnt need anything else from life..because u wud hav all the answers to everything ..
