So the people of the ShraMan AT want me to post this here so just following the orders.

Everyone has been blaming either Shravan or Suman but here the thing is that it's not entirely the fault of both of them. If in naivety Suman has committed mistakes then even being mature Shravan has. They say right it's just the time that is wrong sometimes and in their case it sure is. The show is about going the ride of self respect and love and the best part about this journey is that both of them know that they are not good enough, know they do mistakes and to top it all -they are imperfect.

****

As much as Shravan says that it is because of others he had to change. He himself did not approve of him looking what he was ten years back. He himself criticizes his looks and now he knows he looks better. But then all of this just did not start yesterday and so revenge isn't impulsive here. There are wounds that have marks but have deeper inner wounds.

"Rise from the ashes

Shine like those stars

Get back to everything

Settle scores right

But naivety comes in between

and my innocent self asks me

Loud and clear my conscience speaks

"Is revenge worth it?"

Never did he come back to India to take revenge. He had plans of going back but in the Mata ki Chowki when Suman tells him bhagode; that is the point when he thought of all of this. It's more like the ego of his which challenged himself that why won't you do this to her if she can tell him "it was just a small thing".

Shravan in this past ten years has done nothing but improved and got out new shades to him. He has tried fighting not rejection but the past haunting him every day. He has lived his life waiting to show her what he has become.

Although he portrays strong he lies. He lies he is mature and good enough because he very well knows he is scared, scared to lose and let go what happened before. He does not want to face that again and instead portrays like it does not affect him. Yet deep down he is traumatized and there is a typhoon every time he sees her not only because of what happened but because he loves her the same way and can't move on so easily. So all of this was planned for him to get his closure as still he is the emotional Shravan from within. He wanted her to come because he wanted to show her what he has transformed into; jus because of her.

"There's nothing like rejection to make you do an inventory of yourself."

While on the other hand Suman has lived this ten years just to make it better. Right when the dance sequence is going on she waits for a while and tells him not to leave her and that she just wants to dance with him. In my opinion she was tired of all that was happening-the pain, the heartbreak and the loneliness. Now all that she wanted was to let the time just flow with him as her companion. She wanted him to be there and just be there. For her.

"I'm pouring my heart to you

Want to blabber everything

Not because you are very special

But I have held it for too long now

I want to just let it out

I want to be heard

I am tired of roaring

I was to lay down now

Not give up

But just rest for a while

Because,

"I've had enough"

And then he attacked her with the first accusation. He left here alone there in the dance and then she searched for him. At that one moment she was searching for him because as mentioned earlier, she just wanted to dance with him.

"Past rewinded, memories rehashed

Silent tears shed

I stood there stranded

The feeling was same

I felt empty

I was alone.Again. As always."

Hence then even though she tried to explain she was shunned by that laughter of his and all the feeling of revenge he had in his heart. She was stunned to see that all her immaturity had caused her best friend to turn into a troubled person just because she did not say a sorry. She knew she was late and so she decided to hear him. She did not tell him anything because she was not strong but the girl is just too strong to know that her mistakes were worthy of the way she was treated. Yet she did not expect this as an outcome for all that she did.

"She stayed still

Guilty for the past.

Her eyes wandered to every corner,

Looking at that grin and angry eyes

All this while he pretended to be strong;

But he wasn't

Rather scared that someone might know

That those scars scared him

The memories haunted

He was sad.

Hurt.

But was all of this worth it?

She woke up everyday

For a decade

With furrow hidden in her smile

Subjected to accusations and expectations

However immune to all of it she kept going

Living with the belief to make it better

Someday;

As she trusted their bond

Yet now

The silence adorned her face

She had stopped roaring

His actions made it clear

She deserved it she thought

Did none of it mean anything to him?

Her mind was saying "it's just a facade"

But her heart a chaos

Loud and clear

She heard" You deserve it"

The past flashed right

In front of those tearful eyes

Those badminton matches and long cooking

All of which looked now meaningless

But then in the gleaming light

She looked at his face again

Behind that sarcastic smile

She saw his fear

But enough

It was done

It was over

Because now the blowing curls

Yearned for freedom

As her feet stood still

Still her heart held the storm"

Shravan is angry but then it is also a fact that when you let out what makes you angry half your anger goes down. Shravan has done what he wanted and with that he might have reduced his temper.

Second playing karma karma you come up in the Precap and say sorry and should I write for you in a paper like you did. He just showed he actually would have forgiven her if only she had come up to him. What he does not realize is he himself left without listening to her call him.

Also the way he said;

"Did you try to contact me once?"

"Did you say one hello in all these years?"

One thing is for sure Shravan's love for Suman has just increased in the past decade.

It's like he has been living this song every moment in the ten years:"Every single day, every time I spent ;I have been missing you"

"All night long I stayed awake

Pondering where I went wrong

I hadn't meant to be so bad

But then I somewhere did

Because I was judged

I was mistaken.

I was wrong.

It wasn't entirely my fault maybe

My presence irks you is what you proclaimed

The heart aches to know I am punished

For a deed I unknowingly committed.

A person's conscience always speaks to him every night before sleeping. Every normal person is like that. He did not want to be so bad with Suman is a fact he know but then he had because years ago he was judged for his looks. Time and again he has mentioned that his geeky and nerdy looks bothered him which was the prominent reason for his change.

He was mistaken and so in the party he did wrong which was not his fault entirely.

Remember in the party we had a flashback where Suman tells her friend "yeah Shravan is not my type."It has hit him hard too. She had told the school Shravan is not her type of guy and he brought the topic again. And his heart is sad and lonely for he was punished. We don't know the past entirely but being in abandonment away from friends and family is indeed a punishment. He left his only best friend in the world and went to study and now he will be punished more because he hurt his best friend and that too for a deed he did and he knows he has done a mistake. And as much as he wanted to do that he might not have wanted to utter some words but he did so unknowingly committed. Shravan was rich even then but then with this change in him he absolutely did not want to let out those heart wrenching words. It was so evident in his eyes that he just did it in a fit of anger in a quest to take it all out.

The thing here is Suman wanted a new start and apologized again and again but now with this she is hurt and now for her self respect she might take a decision.IN spite of that now that Shravan has thrown up some amount of anger finally we are going to see him beyond the revenge. The real stroy is now about to begin as both of them are going to go the pyaar and samman way being at logger heads and still wanting the other by their side.

****

Now that I analyzed the whole thing let me just give my input into the maami blaming her scene and also the Precap.

We don't know her back story but what we have seen till now; isn't this her life has been all about-Shravan's forgiveness, paying the loan and living for her family. Suman has been a fighter. She has lived a life as an orphan and we all know her relatives. Her only source of happiness being from her Dadaji, Pushkar and of course stalking Shravan. But with the karma streak playing back again isn't this going to be the exact feeling of Suman after the party.

For the past decade Suman has lived her life like this and it makes me so proud that the girl is still living with her head high and kicking some asses.

When she is looking at the stars she seems to have some sort of realization at least. And as sadistic as that may sound I want Suman to cry so bad after the whatever thing happened not to victimize her but she needs this closure and for a new chapter to begin. She needs to let go and finally move on holding on to him.

"Lived for years now

Like this

Detached from within

Despair in heart

It's been years

And now;

Now in this black pitch night

looking at the moon only

darkness around

and the silence echoes

with a pinch of regret

it hits me hard

I lost him

Maybe

I lost him

for Always."

Now after all of this in a place where you are supposed to meet your old friends and cherish memories you get the biggest nightmare of your life. To top it all Suman is blamed for the flight mishap too.

"Why is it that nobody wants to hear me?

Ask me sometimes,

If not my desires; hear my fears

And don't be there to wipe those tears

Rather let it flow

At least because of them

In this abandonment

I don't feel alone

With them as my companion

It gives me strength

Yes, I am lonely

But still with them

As it feels less scary

And somewhere that keeps me going

Because this is not the road

one loves to travel frequently"

****

So these are entirely my thought. Feel free to judge me.😎

Also a moment to adore the dance which was so perfect in synchronization although I hated the song choice. They could have used the title track better but that dance was all sorts of awesome.

Kay .I goes.😳

regarding shravan's change.. i believe suman loves the old shravan. coz he only said she doesnot want this new shravan to affect her life. she wants to live with the memories of old shravan. she wants the friendship they shared. suman felt with shravan's changed behaviour she got her friend back that friend who used to care for her but then she faces the reality that this shravan is not her old shravan. he is someone with multiple shades. she ll definately understand that she is the reason for the change in him as she was getting flashbacks in the party when shravan was confronting her.

Appreciate your take on it. Suman was fortunate enough to cling onto the happy memories of their friendship, Shravan was not. He took back with him some of the painful memories of his life, Suman just woke up to smell the coffee now.
Lovely lines by the way, and yes that dance was toh

Shreya 🤗 This is amazing. Brilliantly put across.

Its not very easy to forget the things that happen during your childhood. Sumo as a teenager was horrible. She never wanted to hurt Shravan but her behaviour did hurt him a lot. He resented her attitude towards him but he was happy enough to live with resentment. Maybe something happened in the past that pushed him to his limits, brought back all hurt he had cast aside to the surface and maybe that's why he left India.

I feel that the vulnerable, highly a inferior complexed Shravan hides behind this rich and successful mold he has created for himself. This mold is the kind of person the younger Sumo and every person in the class thought was cool. His vulnerability was evident when asked her why she never contacted him during the past 10 years. But he covers it put with the tough guy act because he fears that he would go back to being the old Shravan who would let people use him as per
their convenience.

I hope they talk about the past and try to start afresh. As dysfunctional as they were as friends, they did have a genuine affection for one another. A little time together could do wonders to their friendship. As Nandini said, you don't become equals by repeating your mistakes. Instead you can learn from each others mistake and grow into a better person.

Your title gave me MaNan pheelzz!!
Reminded me of Nandini's "Hum dono main kamhi hai" during the confession
