IKRS Thursday 14th April 2016 ep 218 My Take ~ Forget me not!
No one does things for free in this day and age. If favours are sought then favours have to be granted in return.The weight of the sought favour is expected to be granted with favour of equal weight as favour given and taken should be seen to balance. It's when there is a discrepancy of weighting value in favours taken and given wars can erupt in the form of ruined reputations and character assassination, even killings..
Viplav confirms the ladoos are spiked, Dhani panics this time she managed to foul his misdeeds which have no end. Viplav too is frustrated doesn't quite know how to expose Raja's true colours as the entire family is rotten eggs. Dhani reminisces , there is one, his father ,a godly man who can reveal Raja's past, unfortunately heaven alone knows where he might be? It seems a hopeless situation, but Dhani draws her strength from her god , whose help she seeks for a way out in these hard times. Viplav too believes that the gods will surely help them, as they are fighting against evil carnet. His phones is not with him , must be in the car. He heads for outside. A drunkard is detained at the gate ,wants entry ,wishes to see someone called shuko! Ramdin tells him , no such person lives here. Booze and refusal to access , forces him to create a ruction, shuko suhko! He yells. The fiend Raja whose exposure he is likely to bring about, spots him and what's more recognizes him to be his father ,the last person he expects to see. Viplav to arrives ,but before he can make sense, raja literally muffles the ensuing danger and pushes his father out of the gate! Dhani sure enough follows Viplav asks about the commotion and is told ,some drunk old man yelling for someone called suhko! Dhani tells Viplav , the man is Raja's father !only he called Raja's mother by that name! Viplav argues, but Raja said his father was looking after the business back home, Dhani yells it was to ward off suspicion! but one thing is clear he is the man they need to get hold of besides its a god given opportunity !.. Viplav and Dhani seem to late ,as Raja bundles his father in the car and speeds off. Viplav and Dhani chase Raja's car till they note Raja stops at a bar ,hands his father to a bar tender and leaves.. good riddance to bad rubbish! Warns his drunk father , better be the first and last time he turns up at AN.. bids the bartender, see to it his father doesn't leave this place ,greases his palm and goes with assurance from bar tender, that he will take care of him and give him what he needs! The bar tender does that him a bottled of booze and tells him to stay at one place . Viplav tells Dhani he s going into this cheap bar ! once inside he gets baffled , which man ,as he hadn't seen him.. then this old man mutters , this Raja didn't let him meet shuko.. Viplav bumps into a man and suddenly Raja's father disappears . Desperate Viplav asks where the man who sat in the corner went? Sudden tap on his shoulder Viplav turns he is faced by the inebriated Awasthi senior who asks, any problem? want to drink? gimme drink, Viplav face lights up as he looks into grim dark spectacled eyes of this man who is the solution to Viplav's problems! Viplav's eyes turn to the heavens .The deities have solved his problem!
Before the holy witness of lord Shiva , his most devout devote Dashrant assembles both families and makes some breaking news . He plans to go for pilgrimage but before he leaves he wishes to make an important announcement. Seeing that his grandson Viplav is very deserving child ,he has decided that tomorrow at the Ram name day , he will forthwith bequeath all his power ,possessions in the name of Viplav! and himself devote his life to god. Raja is perplexed he somehow cannot accept what he has just heard. Kanak is over the moon , though Viplav appears totally unimpressed. For he is not one for power ,possessions or glory! Besides he has his own agenda of catching out the fortune hunter who occupies his household at the moment. Raja muses , what has this older geyser done? how can he take such a big decision ,just like that? Seems he will have to act and act fast..plans Raja . Dashrant reiterates, what can be a better day than Ram name day to pass on my responsibilities and he would like Sulochana to give her blessings to Viplav! Viplav on the other hand gives Raja's peeved face a sided glance and muses, he knows Raja is fuming and planning to retaliate against dadaji's decision.. good let him react for that will the day when Raja's true self will be unearthed before all.
Dashrant car approaches the temple. Raja blocks it by leaning over the bonnet. A metal chain hangs from his neck and a murderous look covers his face, as he waits for Dashrant to step out of the vehicle. Dashrant walks up and confronts Raja with an equally livid face. What is the meaning of this insolence Raja. Raja retorts ,it's him who is being insolent ,he reckons, to decide he needs to pass on his responsibilities is a sane one as he is getting old and senile! and turning forgetful! Has he forgotten how he entered his household? FB.. Raja roughed up by two creditors who demand their money back from him under knife point, if their dues are not cleared in two days... a benefactor offers the money and bails Raja as his debts are cleared there and then! his benefactor is none other than Dashrant Tirpathi , who identifies and uses the weakness of the vulnerable ,to suit his own personal gain. Then his ulterior motive came.. he would have to marry his granddaughter Shalu ,yes he is also aware that he knows Dhani's past, his job will be to divide Dhani and Viplav! and this can only be done if he stays around them within the house!and for that he would have to marry Shalu! Raja bargains with this rich old geyser ,for Raja Awasthi too has his own asking price.. so if he does the things he has asked for, what's in it for him ? Dashrant lures , entices the avarice in Raja, the dreams of making it big overnight! and Dashrant manipulates, he will get a lot.. most of all a share in his estate! So its a great deal with a great going price ,Dashrant traps Raja like a fly! One thing though niggles Raja , he knows everything about him then how come he wants him to marry his granddaughter? Dashrant gives a sexist answer , daughters are another's wealth ,eventually they have to be married off! and what happens with them in their husbands house is their destiny!.. he only wants his grandson Viplav !end off! well this scene is the woe begotten scene of the episode ,that comes as no surprise. Dashrant's bigotry regards Shalu being a girl was never hidden in the serial from day one. Dashrant draws a clear distinction between male and female child in terms of value. Shalu was constantly devalued whilst Viplav always idolized. Apart from the gender based issue with Dashrant, he also upholds unrealistic values of all human's being perfect in form and beauty wholesome in worth. Those who aren't like Shalu and shambu are freaks of nature! some signs of ill omen. But the biggest butt of his hate is Dhani the widow! picking Raja was to banish Dhani from Viplav's life . Hence it's Dhani and end of Dhani! which has been and will be the be all and end off for Dashrant. Dashrant manipulates, he uses Kanak ,used tripurari and now uses Raja all to kick out the widow Dhani out of Viplav,s life and his house..
Past things in place ,now Raja snarls at Dashrant . He has been very hasty! he had told him what he wanted ,but failed to ask what he wanted! What did he think a tiny portion of his wealth would be enough to fill his tummy ? no not at all!! Viplav cannot be his successor because viplav is not smilir to him.. Raja is correct Viplav is not a liar , a cheat , a phoney , manipulative fraduster , thief, womaniser! Like Dashrant.. Raja says in this whole world ,there is one person like him .and that is him! Raja Awasthi, and if he doesn't do as he tells him to do ,he will expose him to the world! Dashrant laughs and mocks him, tells him. He is right ,but he loves the helplessness that he detects in his fury! But who is he?what is his stature? what is he trying to sell? Will People listen to Dashrant Tirpathi or to an idiot like him? and he has only one successor and that is Viplav Tirpathi! But one thing is confirmed that he is a most inadequate and useless human being.. he has not been able to split Viplav and Dhani , on top of it that Dhani got married to Viplav lives in his house and dancing on top of our heads !then he grabs around Raja's neck and yells in his face don't ever threaten him, got that if he turns this chain it'll be a noose around his neck!hisses Dashrant! He pushes him away but Raja gives him lethal looks throws the chain and than threatens ,he too will see how his grandson Viplav will become his successor ?
Viplav tells Dhani tomorrow will be the day when he will bring Raja's father before all to expose Raj'a's truth hope tomorrow all goes well..viplav hopes.
Raja bends, scoops water from the holy river prays and vows, tomorrow morning , will bring darkness over the tripathi family , then they all will know who is Raja Awasthi!...
Overall for me nothing was a surprise. dashrant's hatred for Dhani is s real as his love for wealth. We had many clues that he backed Raja.. because he was out to gun Dhani ..see how keen he was in the court scene..but the saddest part of the episode is Dashrant's disinterest in whatever happens to Shalu in Raja's house is her fate. Now it makes sense why he doesn't want to see Raja leave.. he wants the smiling .sly devil to stir trouble between Viplav and dhani. Bit weary,senoir Awasthi segment.. will it work...
Precap: history repeats.. Raja with PC's help ofcourse fills Viplav's kalish with alcohol! Viplav beaten ,instigated by PC..
Please forgive me.. have a lot on my plate these days ,so will reply to your previous comments at some point today.. much love hammie 15.4. 16
