Some dissatisfaction with myself....

Some dissatisfaction,

With myself, I suspect, very deep within myself

Has impelled me all my life to find justification

Not so much to the world – first of all to myself

What is this self inside us, this silent observer,

Severe and speechless critic, who can terrorize us

And urge us on to futile activity,

And in the end, judge us still more severely

For the errors into which his own reproaches drove us.

These lines were written by the poet T.S. Eliot. It gave me the shivers when one of my teachers first read it out in class and so I wanted to share it with you guys. Pretty apt isn't it? You do something because of this "voice" and when faced with the consequences of your actions that same "voice" is your severest critic. This is applicable to both MRD and our real lives.

Both Raj and Kranti are acting in ways, which we wouldn't have believed of them. And which they probably wouldn't do if they thought about their actions logically. But they aren't - neither is looking at things accept from their own biased perspectives and both of are convinced that they are on the right path.

What is it that is driving them to act in a way, which is not in sync with their characters? How far will their sense of being in the right drive them both down the wrong path? How much are Raj and Kranti are at fault for their own actions anyway? Is it them and their ideologies and/or hearts that have turned Kranti into a shrew and Raj into a jerk? Or is it the circumstances? Or is this "dissatisfaction" a combination of it all? Is the much-awaited change of heart finally drawing near?

I would like to believe that it is. Things have reached a climax in the show and now we should go towards a resolution. Personally, I can hardly wait for that track to begin. The realization of what they have done and the ensuing guilt will be worth watching – if the creatives really show some creativity.

...in the end, judge us still more severely

For the errors into which his own reproaches drove us.

Oh How come I missed this post?

There are some on the forum who just come and add their two bits to each and every post. Posts from way beyond are brought forth and the new ones get relegated to the back. I for one, know I missed this one and I have to thank Bugs for bringing it to the front page once again. Sorry about that Arwen.

Yes that poem is certainly introspective and the poet has written it in "solitude thinking". It has so much of sensitivity. After seeing today's epi, I find the above poem too high in thought for these baseless characters. I have been shouting from rooftops that the writers have bungled and that the characters have been crucified for nothing. They (writers) have no insight into human thinking or bonding. Alas!

My concept of a KK is so different from what they are portraying here in the serial. A KK was fiercely independent and one who would rather break than bend. Sohan tauji was shown as that but Kranti today was not even a shadow of what a KK should be. In fact I found her to be deplorable. She had the makings of a good freedom fighter but her character was not developed properly. She has become nothing more than a silly illiterate woman. The story has sunk to such depths, that I don't feel like watching it anymore. The whole serial has become just another soap.
