KcM pays Rudra a visit and Paro immediately covers his toes. KcM realizes that short of Moonchiya dying, her only other option is to author a book titled "How to Botch Murders and never lose hope".
The doctors are helpless, the medicines don't work and the Chandangarh Suraj decides to take forever to rise, because He wants to give Rudra every opportunity to stand erect.
The only thing that can revive Moonchiya is faith. Not any ordinary faith. Faith that makes one abandon perfectly working shoes to run barefoot, bloodying one's feet on the tetanus inducing debris on the road. Its a sign of devotion, a sign of surrender and most importantly, a sign of intelligent action when crisis strikes.
I pity Paro-like wives living in places like Chicago. With its sub-zero (I mean effing -20 deg Centigrade) temperatures and no accessible Shiv temple nearby, chicago is no place for poisoned husbands. They will have no recourse but to slip into coma because Paro-like wives cannot do a sacrifice as mighty as our Paro's. Lesson learned - if you live in places like Chicago, with no shiv temple nearby, you better not get Iron Filings Poisoning, and for heaven's sake NOT in winter. Other types of poisoning might be ok but definitely not iron poisoning.
Paro's padyathra raises her heartbeat burning a good 300 calories and breaking a good sweat. Even temple PAnditji asks her about her pulse rate and is impressed with her cardiovascular health. I thought he was going to ask her to take a shower in the temple bathroom, but thankfully he asked her to drink water and rest.
I think the CVs should have added a scene where Nagdevtha travels 3 miles to the hospital, snakes into moonchiya's bed and sucks out the venom from his body. Now THAT would have been mother of all symballisms and truly good use of mythology.
Question to all you mythology experts - Does Parvathi give up her relationship with Shiva after the Neelkanth episode? If not, then why do CVs vacillate between Mythology and YashChopralogy??
Mythili's dilemma continues. She keeps adding 2+2 and gets 4.55. Its befuddling her mind, when she knows 2+2 should really be equal to 4.25. duh!
Tomorrow - Paro has to pray to Shivji to get what she most covets and then immediately give it up. She asks for Moonchiya back in her life, only to disappear from his life. At this rate, I'd have had to disappear from my family's life many times given the number of crises we handled and faced. The true test of faith of a family is how strongly they stick together through times of crises. oh well, its a show, its fiction and Paro's gyan in these matters is infinitely superior to mine.
The SJ in me would have stayed back, nursed Moonchiya back to strength, fed him his favorite foods, and given him one too many sponge baths and change of clothes.
