Hey Cuddles.. To start with, seeing your post I was all ready for some interesting analogy or elaborate expressions of Manan.. coz I did not read the topic..

But as soon as I read the topic name.. BANG.. I knew we were somehow on the same thought.. or rather chain of thoughts that have been going on in full force since I saw the promo.. I have been meaning to write something about it, someplace where I would be understood.. and what better place than this.. so m gonna lash out here.. bear with me..

Munchkin 🤗
Well MaNan may be my most loved subject to write on but this show has given me such beautifully etched characters. Manik being one o my favs. There is so much to him that still needs to be unearthed I feel. Maybe I;m just lil bit greedy when it comes to endearing characters like Manik. You just cant get enough of it...and his childhood was one such aspect that defined him, and I would have loved it more it was explored.

I am distressed beyond the limits because it is impossible for me to fathom just how, how does one live through such faces of life... The lack of care, love, compassion - all have been part of Manik's life since the very start of his life. A father who loves Manik a lot. but does not impress upon his much needed presence in this child's life.. If he is so concerned about his son, where is he?? Aren't these the very questions that must have a constant presence in the little boy's heart.. and then there is his mother. Such a shame to refer a woman a mother who is ready to manipulate, demean, butcher and destroy her son's happiness for her selfish needs. She really does not deserves to be called one.. and we would all agree deserves all the hate in this world.. but can we even for a second imagine about that child, who lived his life like a orphan even with both of his parents alive.. Maybe it would have been better if he would have been abandoned by the heartless soul, he could have lived through that.. but how does one survive in the shadows of people who keep you, feed you but keep you abandoned in front of them.. can we imagine how confusing, how terrifying all such moments would have been when he was left to deal with everything single-handed.. when he was groomed to be bad so that EVEN from that his mother could go through her selfish motives.

And further, if there was a scope of being as heartless as she was, she went and hooked up with a guy of his son's age.. How does one cope up with that? I sincerely and respectfully salute the CVs of KY2 for bringing into light these issues that have become such a common part of today's society.. I have been doing counselling of youngsters like me from past 4 years or so and the life stories I have come to know are worthy of sending someone into a complete state of numbness.. I imagine hoe can such cruelty exist in this world.. Children left to deal with such complex situations on their own.. I have so much to write about and so much to speak about..

The point it, it makes me realize my own luck to have been blessed with parents who love me, who are there to protect me and are my best friends in this world.. And this is the only topic I have actually written about in my only post on this forum a long time back.. so that is the extent to which this affected me..

Manik turned out to be MANIK maybe because the stars really did shine for him.. He had this goodness preserved and stored inside him for HIS star to come and wipe of all the layers of the monstrous facade with her shine.. I pray from the depth of my heart that no one is ever left devoid of love and care.. and gets lucky at whatsoever age of his/her life... as Manik did get lucky..

For just writing your heart out there... Thanks. You worded it so beautifully and convincingly. I guess I could not agree more. I guess we are blessed to have family that take us in even at the worst of times.. a family you can exercise your leaps of faith ad you know you'll never fall for they will hold you. But there are so many who do not turn out to be that lucky and my heart goes out to them. I happen to meet such children from broken homes and happen to spend some time with them. I guess that's the reason why this track was tugging at my heartstrings.

So now coming to your brilliant brilliant canvas of feelings.. Can I say even though I love you so much Cuddles.. I respect you even more for writing this.. what beautiful and heart-touching thoughts you have.. I loved it so much.. It inspired me to write whatever I could (sadly its all jumbled up, clearly depicting the state of my mind)... . so Thank you.. :-)

Thanks Munchkin... and about the jumbled words... Well my words to happen to be of the same accord... but as far as your words are understood and reaches the heart, you have accomplished what you set out at. Your words had an equal effect of touching my heart.

Now coming to the poem... you my talented dost.. the words touched my heart.. it was as if I was actually walking side by side the little Manik who would have gone through so much in his life and endured and lost so much that seems so trivial to us who get it.. I cried feeling his pain and thanking the stars for all of us who had the childhood which some only dream of.. Your words.. what do I say about them.. they have so much emotion and this magical flow to them.. that when gets captivated easily...

Thank you and I am humbled.

I also loved the way you painted the black canvas with the colors of hope, because that is the basic message that lies beneath the beautiful story of Manan.. I can repeat this again and again.. you are an exceptionally gifted writer.. and I always end up wanting to read more.. and ofcourse I love you cuddles.. tereko dher saari jhappiyan.. I feel so good writing this out.. although lengthy ho gaya, but I knoe tu kuch nahi bolegi mujhe..

HOPE has always been the guiding light... so couldnt leave it out. Glad you feel good

Aur tujhe kisne kaha main kuch nahi bolungi?

Haan tune bahut saara likha...
Par main khush hoon kynki,
Isi chakkar mein tune mere dost...
Bahut pyaara likha

🤗

Lots of Love to you

Yours

Munchkin
