True Asmita. The simplicity is the real strength of this show. What a powerful scene it was! You were right Asmi. The children lost themselves completely in the situation they created for themselves. A moment to speak to their Baba. A moment to be with him. He was nowhere around, still he was very much present. The scene ended on Devi. She sat there with her eyes closed, lost in her own silent conversation with Raja and listening to her kids speaking.
Then the kids tell Aaji about their conversation. How beautiful was that. There was no OTT crying, just a calm acknowledgement of their loss. And in such circumstances we run to the past, recalling it, recalling stories about the person who is gone..smiling and laughing at the memories.Aaji and Devi must experienced so many deaths around her but one death changed so many things for them. They broke so many social 'norms' realising the hollowness of the norms. Visited the funeral pyre, girls gave agni to the pyre, Aaji supports the girls singing during the mourning period. This really shows how special Raja was. For him the society changed.Devi is one fierce lady! Simple, silent Devi showed her fearless side when it was required.
