Jia, great post.
The various siblings and Nirjali are bound by strings and they are all being snapped.The one binding Ashlok is very strong and a few threads may have snapped, but it will bear the weight so to speak.The one binding NA - Anjali has become very frayed over 30 years and are all snapping off one by one. There are still a few threads intact but how long they will last remains to be seen.Varad - Sojal's was already weak and the only thread is around kavya. Mansi wants to break the existing thread and tie a new one herself for Varad. WIll Varad be able to break off the existing one???JoSid's currently the strongest one yet but only time and the birth of Josid's child will tell how strong or weak it is. Renuka is bent on snapping some of the threads before they can set.
