If the lives of a few people could be an FB status right now, it would read...IT'S COMPLICATED!! And yes, in caps...
A maze...they all are in a maze of emotions and trying to find their way out!! Or may be solving a puzzle, each individual carrying a piece, and yet it seems that a few pieces are missing...!! Each and every one of them in a private hell, a tight spot...and it seems no one is going to pull or drag them out...they will have to dig themselves out of this mess!!
Now Dhruv can't even stand looking at Manik, forget talking!! Won't even go down the lane of pain it caused Manik...if souls can be bruised, his would be black and blue, if they could bleed, his would be anemic by now. So, lets leave his pain alone, he knows how to deal with it.
Why so much of hatred, one might ask. Dhruv has been a suppressed soul all his life. Always living in the shadows, and may be or may be not content to do so. Then comes Nandini, his first crush or love (you never know) and comes the desire to win...but he lost...very badly. And if we look back at the scenes of those times ( I did..yesterday I had to go back and look), Dhruv kind of suspected the Manik Nandini equation. He had his doubts about these two and the later developments confirmed his suspicions that he had lost because of Manik. Then, comes his second chance at happiness, Alya..and guess what ...Manik manages to mess it up royally for him ...again!! So, in essence..now he links Manik with his defeat, his failure. All his frustrations, pent up anger for years, his dissatisfaction, sense of persecution has found a name and a face. Everything that is wrong in his life is because of ...Manik!! Wrong or right...that is his state of mind...and lets not be judgmental here...feelings are feelings...validated or not..reasonable or not!! His quote of the day...People Change!! And How???!!!!
Now, the Pandit...can't even use the word messed up...might be an understatement!! His games are lethal!! So he finds out the Manik Dhruv situations, uses it cunningly to his advantage, and pits one friend against the other. Such a smooth, sick move!! Knowing this will hurt Manik a lot!! So now he has Nandini to himself, Manik is out for good and in Dhruv he has a convenient, unaware, slave to do his bidding!! And the way he touched Nandini today, if I was around I would have slapped the guy right out of the college!! There is plenty more sickness coming from there...so I might as well shut up!! Nandini's look of fury...awesome...that did put him in his place. Hope he gets the message that his diseased advances are not welcome..and stays away. The man is smart enough to turn the tables when questioned and say that he did it for Nandini's benefit. The royally messed up question of the day...Don't you think Dhruv is better than Manik...Nandini?? Speechless...
Moving on to poor, battered Cabir...seems he has marriage on the cards. 😆!! It seems funny for now, but promises to blow up pretty badly if not handled carefully. His and Navya's equation seems more messed up than ever!! Navya has been in a dark place for a while too...life seems to be playing with her like a puppet on a string...she has lost all control over her life for now!!! Seems life will not let these two betrayed souls rest in peace!! And then comes Mukti...dragging him into another mess...
Mukti...what do I say about her...that she was always in deep trouble..so this should be nothing new!! But people get tired...and hopefully they change...may be ...and I m keeping my fingers crossed here...may be this will be the last straw that broke the camels back. May be after this horrifying and shocking incident in her life, she will learn to look for solace and comfort in the right direction and safer avenues!! She deserves a break...and Abhimanyu gifted her a different kind of break...heart break!! Another person...another hell!!
Alya...bet she doesn't know whether she is coming or going!! So, the life she has known for 7 years is gone in a blink...Manik was her identity...without him she did not know how to survive. Then, she loses her brother..a constant source of embarrassment and worry. And when she thinks she has found a safe haven...Dhruv..it turns out to be a private hell hole!! Yes..this situation is more or less self created...cause her insensitive handling of the situation between an ex and a present started this whole wild fire!! Alya absolutely messed up the whole equation between two friends by her constant reminders...(and I suspect that at one stage Dhruv was right..she was not over Manik and yet she was dating Dhruv on a rebound)!! Alya's confused heart created a lot of confused minds!! Yes...she is responsible for the plight she is in right now..but then isn't that the case most of the times...our problems are our own creations!! Her gems...I have seen his friendship break bits by bits...there is no chance...don't withdraw from this concert!! The last one...wise advice!!
Nandini...she seems to be back to sqare one!! Again contemplating Manik's choices...somewhere worried and tensed about Manik's withdrawal seeing it as her defeat and again Fan 5's victory!! Again the same sense of betrayal, the feeling of being dumped and rejected in the face of his friendships!! She is furious with all, be it Pandit, Dhruv or Manik...trying to talk to all of them, yet realizing it was futile!! I have some questions about Nandini today...but the last time I asked them...I lost a chunk of so called friends and was boycotted (that still continues btw). So, have learnt to shut up and not delve into Nandini..you see it only leads me to a private hell!!
But all I can say for her...she is losing her faith...not surprisingly...in the face of a destiny that seems determined to test her love and in the face of a certain Manik Malhotra who seems determined to make her life hell at every step!! Her reactions and her actions are justified and relatable too...how long can a person fight?? How long can a loner battle with time and tide...you see she too is getting tired..after all she is a human too!!
And saving the best for the last...Manik Monster Malhotra!! With him I genuinely don't know where to start from...cause you see he started messed up!! He has lived his whole life the wrong way, or should I say he has been gifted a messed up life from day one..he was born in a mess!! So out of all, he is the best suited to deal with it!! Right now, can't imagine what life must look like to him...his best friend hates the sight of him, he has been ousted from his music (you might say he brought it on..but I don't blame him...just glad that he stood up against Pandit the way he did) and now his lady love...his light is turning into a blazing fire..uncontrollable!! On one hand he has come to terms with his friend's defection and forgiven him for his betrayal...that's classic Manik..for the ones he loves...saat khoon bhi maaf...he will never think about himself. What do we say when he thinks its good that he replaced me..finally he will shine, will get a chance and opportunity to showcase what and who is...this should make Dhruv confident...and we will be back...sigh!! Manik is asking for it...such souls capable of such unconditional love..are butchered in this world and he knows that..yet!! So, he withdraws. And the moment he backtracks he runs into his other love...Nandini!! And this one he just cannot breathe without! His actions for one will always disappoint and defeat the other!! His giving in to one...is read as giving up on the other!! His forgiveness for one...leads the other to be unforgiving for him!! He wants Dhruv to get a second chance and yet he loses out on his last chance with Nandini!! Nandini's epic...Hamara Kya?? ...has no answers from him!! Once again he is at a crossroads...where too many people are making too many demands on him...and again he is being torn and shredded into bits...messed up you think?? That's his second name...
Such is life...each today in a dark place...or may be like MaNan found themselves...in a very tight spot!! All are wise now, times and tides have wisened and matured this bunch a lot and still they struggle cause again that is life!! It throws shadows, questions, dilemmas, riddles, no win situations...with no answers!! Yes, its all a mess...of emotions...of love, expectations, loyalties, insecurities, egos, hear breaks, disappointments...you name it ...we have it!! All I can say is ...life makes messes...so we learn to clean up!!
