No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
Manik Malhotra.
Nobody could describe you better than these lines.
You are made of greed.
Like I am.
Like any other human being is.
Our lives, they're not much different than the hunger games.
The ugly truth of us, the stain on the white we wear.
It's selfishness.
Selfishness is when a kid who doesn't know how to swim pushes the other one in the water so he can stay afloat, stay breathing. That kid does not want to die. In that moment he doesn't care if the one he's holding onto for dear life will survive or not.
But he knows this like a lion on hunt.
He knows he's up, breathing, because his hands are pushing the other under water.
You can deny it all you want.
But it is all about survival.
But sometimes, something as powerful as love, intervenes and survival is no more the heaven we deem it to be.
I'd like to say Manik is only possessive of Nandini.
But that's not true.
It never was.
Manik demands ownership.
And he demands it from the very first day.
Episode 5, when Aliya, only teasingly, declared her love for a rat, Manik had been furious.
Because that's who he is. He is possessive of everything he thinks is his belonging.
Manik Malhotra likes control. He likes to exercise his rights over everything he has. He wants complete ownership.
He's like a child who'd never had a toy to play in his life finally finding one. The child doesn't just leaps onto it with greedy hands. The child becomes feral in its protection.
And so does Manik.
And then he found Nandini.
No, he didn't want her. He never wanted her. She challenged his beliefs.
She had the guts to say two letters.
Those letters were "No."
No you are not a God.
No, your lifeless and deprived childhood doesn't give you the right to take other's light.
No, you aren't right, always.
No, you cannot decide my fate.
No, I won't let you ruin me.
And No, No Manik, you're not a Monster.
No, Manik, you're capable of good.
No, Manik, you're not a villain. You're a hero. A savior.
What is so special about trust? Manik has everybody's trust.
His group of friends trust him to always be right. His college trusts him to always win. Every single person around him trusts him.
So why is trust so important to him? So poignant?
Because, for the first time in his life, someone didn't trust the bully in him to get things done.
Someone trusted the hero.
For the first time in life, someone trusted the good inside him.
When Nandini told him "I trust you," after that one drunken night.
It wasn't simply trust.
It was trust.
The trust she had in the good in him.
I trust the man who'd never take advantage of a drunken girl.
The man who'd seen her safely to her house.
The man who'd taken care of her when she was most vulnerable.
"Why does everyone thinks, yeh sab maine kiya hai? Nahi kiya maine! Nahi bheje maine Gunde."
Now, Manik isn't perfect. Truth of the matter is simply, that he never was. But Manik is also impulsively foolish.
He's a foolish boy who, no matter what he does, still wants someone to believe that there can be good inside him. That he's human after all. That he cannot be capable of the most asinine of ploys.
And that belief came in one simple sentence.
"I trust you."
Not to solve my problems.
I simply trust you because I believe in the good inside you.
And that foolish little boy inside his heart had swelled with pride.
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
These last few episodes, they haven't exactly been the best I've seen of KY2, personally.
Who doesn't want that goddamned night to end already? But we're already seeing the restless Manik.
Manik who has always been possessive of his, let go, for the first time in his life.
For Manik, everything has always been revolving around his wishes. He never had to make a sacrifice. But Manik also believed he was capable of anything and everything.
He forgot.
Manik simply forgot that no matter what, we still are made of greed.
He's greedy for Nandini.
For her belief.
For her prayers.
For her trust.
For her, simply.
For his light.
The light he found in her.
Manik is capable of letting go of the things he most want in life for his friends.
And Manik is capable of bearing a pain so intense that it tears his guts raw.
And Manik is capable of sacrificing.
And Manik is capable of watching her cries tear him asunder.
And Manik is capable of watching her in another's arms.
But Manik is not capable too.
Manik is incapable of not wanting her trust.
He's incapable of not needing her presence.
He's incapable of not wanting to be the only man to touch her.
He's incapable of seeing someone else put his hands on her.
He's incapable of maintaining a distance.
He's incapable of the hot rush of fury and jealousy that runs hard through his veins.
He's incapable of not worrying her for.
Incapable of not thinking about her.
But most importantly?
Manik is incapable of being selfless.
He simply cannot be when it comes to Nandini.
She brings out the hero in him.
But she also makes him realize that hero is an ordinary man.
And that he's selfish.
He's a selfish selfish man.
And that selfish man would one day overtake every other man that lives inside him.
That selfish man only has one truth to his life.
And that ugly truth is very simple.
She's his.
She'll always be, only his.
And he'd move heavens and Earth to have her.
And that selfish man doesn't know how to play fair.
When it comes to her, he simply won't.
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
One day. One day.
And then he'll simply explode.
This is like a random random topic.
Not that all others aren't. finally felt like making one XD
Cos it's Saturday.
Kal chuttti hai!
