Rising to the need of the hour

Todays central theme was about rising to the need of the hour

What an ep it was

Fantastic take as always. I loved the episode today. The conversation between Dashrath and Ram, like many here, is my favorite too. Next week looks promising and interesting .

It was a Ram...Ram...episode

Perfect ending for this week

First few mins and last few mins being the highlight

True, it was a ram ram episode

And it will be Siya ram all the way

Offcourse the convo btw Dasharath and Ram

Like u mentioned , Dasharth was the Kid

Ram played father

Ashish nailed it today

That calm smiling face and voice,

Convincing,calming and assuring Dashrath

"U gave word and I surely will fulfill all ur promises"

This line hinting the future😃

Dalipji did very good with his expressions

Kaikeyi was touched too

Ashish is really impressive as Rama, and he has the manmohak chchavi of Sri Rama

Vishwamitra was finally satisfied

But still he maintained his Guru image

Lakshman's restlessness and his plea

(Change in wig was a welcome change😆😆)

Then the final few mins of the episode

That song was perfect for the situation

Created that feel for that scene

Ram swift in his horse and Sita singing

That final shot freezing on Ram

It showed that he sensed Sita

The whole of last scene was shot very well, the soothing song with the high speed horse riding scene was high impact.

The show has some great actors, good directors, good writers, all in all well produced!

Hi Arshi,

Apt title. Everyone was focused on trying to help in the situation in their capacity.

Being very busy lately. I watch the show and read your post but am not been able to reply. You know we have run out of words praising your writing skills from SC to MK and now SKR. Loved your poetry of yesterday and a great post today.

Indeed the father-son convo today was so beautiful. It shows that age is just a number when it comes to wisdom. When the situation demands one has to reach the level of the other person to help ease their worry and calm their hearts. While Rama helped Dasaratha overcome his worry by speaking in a way he would understand, Sita went to a child's level to help them overcome their fear and worry and played ball with them.

Both Rama and Sita are courageous, compassionate and caring.

Today Lakshman also hinted what would happen in future when Rama will have to go away again. Agree with @Mano change in Lakshman's wig is good.

Great acting by all. Manishji as Vishwamitra - chaa gaye.

The only place I found Rama's dialogue delivery a bit off today is when he tells Dasaratha "vachan aap ne diya hai pitaji, toh use mein avashya poorn karoonga". He sounded more like " you gave the promise, i will fulfill it - do I have a choice?"

Yes Arshics everyone can be heroes if they are able to rise to the occasion. Every drop counts. There is a saying in Malayalam "Annarakannanum thanlayath"( Even a squirrel can do what it can). It is said that it originated from a version of Ramayana written by Malyalam poet thunchath ezhuthachan. It is said that a squirrel seeing Nala and Neela creating the bridge over the sea wanted to contribute. And it started putting small stones and sand to fill the gap between big stones. The army teased the squirrel , but Lord Ram appreciated it and patted its back. it is said the 3 lines on the squirrel's back is Ram's acknowledgement of squirrel's work in creating the bridge.

Many times we stay back what we can do. But we need to understand we can do a lot of things if we try. On most occasions we stand on the bank not willing to venture out, not willing to try because fear of failure paralyze us. We need to understand only one thing is still that is dead body. Everything alive move, change. Our fear can kill us if we dont change direction at the right time, taking right action.

Change is not about one individual, if anything has to change there has to be a collective responsibility. When one person takes charge that person has to be supported than criticized.

If you look in Vishwamitra's ashram there was scarcity of provision. In today's world rather than acknowledging the help given there will people trying to point out the scarcity. This is not there , that is not there.

When Chennai floods happened all I could see was complaining people in TV. Volunteers were reaching but in the situation there were also limitations. And media too instead of showing complaining people they should focus on people coming together which I am sure happened there.

Difficult times calls for desperate measures and everyone has to step in than sit and worry which all the characters showcased yesterday.

sometimes, we all have to rise to the need of the hour, we just have to kickout the fear from within.
