IKRS 24th August 2014 Episode 13 My Take
Tripurari meets Swarna .. really her opening the door is letting him into her life.. and his role is like that of the wolf ready to huff and puff her house down! Cleaning the wall.. he says more like erasing their existing way of their refuge!
His folding the writ is concealing his motives.. purna adda, means this is an established liaison? Is Dhani's friend one of gives him inside information about the workings in the life of the widows?
So the watch crops up again.. deceptive times ! Swarna knew all along he had the watch .. it was give and take.. His service to the community is to carry out his dark , surreptitiously deeds .. here he knows how to swerve the attention of these widows.. the watch! saves the awkward moment of being caught out with Swarna..The wicked have to have a conniving mind that can pull them out situations with the ingenuous minds
The gift is an offering of appreciation.. here the shawl is a symbol of sincere gratitude.. Here seen as the widows utter ignorance of knowing the complete truth about Dashrant.. Tripurari has a field day! He fans widows sense of wellbeing and leads them further on the path of misguidance by reinforcing that Dashrant too thinks highly of the widows.. Such cold cruelty to pull the rug from under the feet of the unsuspecting, so that they fall harder on their face!
Viplav too receives a gift from his dadi.. ladoos, made with her sweet love.. with the wish he will carry good memories of his home, when he's away from it ,in Delhi.
Viplav almost tells his heart.. it's best he moves out of this dead city of Vanaras.. his dadi reminds him.. it's not a city it's a form of life style.. now to me Viplav's negative spiel about Banaras..is to make his leaving bearable for his gran.. he gives her the impression ,a young full of beans stud is a better fit in the bustling Delhi
Sambhu and his mother compared to a sieve through which things sift through.. by itself the sieve doesn't retain it only separates.. substance into many particles .. what Dashrant does not see is that a sieve.. refines the substance! Removes impurities.. hence these two imperfect people ...his wife and son are symbols.. of refinement, who rid the household from the fanatical religious views of Dashrant's practices and uphold virtue and purity of the truth faith..
Shambu and his mother are only meant to be seen and not heard. Dashrant tells them to lock their mouths.. their views are locked.. imprisoned in their hearts! But then valuable pearls are locked too and not cast before swine!
Virtue and vice can never sing from the same song sheet.. try as one may.. however there are many like Dashrant and Kanak who practice the mix and match, pick and choose of faith ,to suit their own selfish motives.. power ,greed or vanity..
Dashrant reminds Shambu he is blessed to have Kanak as his wife.. she is symbol of Lakshmi .. his reference of course is towards the abundance of Kanaks beauty and for giving birth to a strong ,handsome son like Viplav.. in the same tone he talks about the Shalini's obesity as a hurdle in gaining herself a husband
Silently Shiva ji , watches two categories of his followers. The humble widows who stand at the bottom of his mandir steps. Then there is Dashrant, the feigned devotee with his ostentatious worship ..only lip service without meaning. Shivaji watches but remains silent. how long will he maintain his silence?
Reference to clothing..
Shiv ji hears , the widows grace Dashrant with the titles of being the lord and protector.. and watches them present him with a gift.. the shawl , a mantle, a token of their respect and devotion.. how long will Shiva ji allow theses vulnerable widows to be duped by this corrupt Dashrant ?their eyes need to be opened. But Shiva ji can see other things developing out of Dashrants displacement of the widows .Their shawl.. made by Dhani is a symbol of a weight rather than comfort upon his shoulders. His pride is bruised and overpowered by the fact that this widow manipulated Viplav by playing upon his sympathies and getting an apology out of him, and worse still throwing off Viplav from the path he had chosen for him..
It's ironical he spurns the shawl presented by Dhani into the fire! in the hope that he has the power to destroy and turn to ashes the way of life of these poor widows.. he accepts, and in return they receive guarantee of a peaceful life since his compassionate it's a display of fear on his part.. he repays their sincere devotion towards him with revenge!
Talking about clothes , off we are whisked to Viplav's room.. packing his wheelie is point of discussion.. He's chirpy, excited, one who practices the faith of joy and love, with the despised down trodden and the denounced! The scenes with his gran, dad and sister , are heart warming as he assurances them of being their protector.. each time they are crest fallen ..
But even the strong need assurance and confirmation of praise. When an extraordinary task is undertaken. Viplav confides in his dadi .. about his apology to Dhani. He confirms his bond with this elder of his household , who is a symbol of stability of wholesome upright moral and spiritual values. he shares his joy by admitting how a burden had been lifted from his shoulders!
With his mischievous face resting on his basket ball.. a spherical image of his happy go lucky world! his carefree world!
What is evident is that the weak and vulnerable seek and could do with support, from those are graced with traits of being strong and stable with reliable compassion.. The widows however seek protection.. from a liar , and a cheat..a trickster who robs them of their trust in goodness.
Lalla is the typical business man who really has sold his soul to the devil.. Dashrant uses him like a pawn in his hands to get back at the widows. Dashrant wickedness goes beyond any fear of the gods. He uses the names of gods to weave webs of lies and deceits around people to play on their weakness to covet..
Viplav's world is burden free now that his tasted the joy of showing remorse at a regrettable offense!
On the other hand Dhani's along with the rest of the widows, world has turned upside!
Precap shows Dhani's and the widow world, has been hurled at the feet of Dashrant .. the lord and protector of their lives.. her blood stained foot prints line the havili..and she rushes past her real protector! Is Shiva going to speak and his damru sound??as the earth rumbles under the might of Shiva's Dance...
overall .. a pacy episode to begin the week with. mishal and Isha , both engaging in their scenes.. now where we saw Mishal ,disciplined intensity at the door step scene.. we saw a loving ,cheerful, family lad.. making his vibrant presence felt with the underlings of his family.. shalini is such a sweetie.. she makes a great sis!
