IKRS Monday 30th May 2016 ep 262 My Take ~ out of the ashes .. after five years!
Humans are resilient creatures that survive many a battering of emotional , mental and physical nature. The weak ones throw up arms , give up and became slaves of their inertia . Some even bounce back to live life .. even if it means to live like the living dead . However the stronger ones embrace the rise and fall of the waves and reach the bank . In all this, the tick tock of time pulls the shots like always !where it divides ,breaks, severs ,cruelly, though time is seen as the great healer too..The episode is very poignant as it begins on a day Viplav's birthday where five years ago the love story of his life began. He was on mere transit in Banaras , destined for US, that night at twelve midnight he slept in a boat on the bosom of sacred river Ganges. Crack of dawn on the first morning of his birthday, all changed for him he felt a colour of Ishq , true love in life ..unconventional though it was ,his true love was a widow! but then love is love.. their ISHQ gave Viplav a purpose, to marry her , the gods themselves over saw their marriage .Then fate dished out what was written in the stars for him, the unimaginable ! the explosion that transformed his life! and today is Viplav's birthday again..
After five years Banaras stands where it was on the banks of the sacred river Ganges. Nothing has joined changed for Viplav it's his birthday today and his first port of call is to visit his temple , meet the devotees and pay homage to his devi. A white car stops right before the ashram "Dhani widow home" .. a pair of feet in formal footwear as opposed to beige trackers step out of the car and touch the reverent ground.. a figure in a suit with raybans step out pulls them off and peers ahead.. flames of fire! Viplav screaming and being held back by police from going further my wife Dhani! he had screamed! Viplav suddenly shields his eyes and on his wrist is piece of woman's jewellery! His eyes stare back into the past.. the voice of the reporter echoes , blast in the Tirani ashram!its assumed that Dashrant tirpathi's daughter in law Dhani and her mother along with the others have been said to killed in this bomb blast! assumed it was a gas leak.. then a procession of bodies covered with white sheets were carried out of the ashram.. he remembers it well.. Viplav shuts his eyes five years ago yet so fresh in his mind. Still life goes on and he climbs the steps that lead to the door of the ashram gets hold of the handles and pushes to open the doors
AN Kanak the second mistress of the manor answers the door to a confectionary delivery ,a cake ordered by mrs. Viplav tirpathi! She refuses to accept at first as no one in the household eats cake.. but the name of the person who placed the order, forces her to accept! In anger she literally smashes the cake box on the table and sneers the queen has ordered this cake for Viplav! dadi adds he'll chuck it out ,my child hasn't even tasted any thing sweet since years! Dashrant adds it would have better if they had kept a veneration in the house for peace. Kanak explains , the idea of worship he mocks ,wants no where to be seen anywhere near it! dadi sighs in regret its been five years our child has forgotten to smile , heavens alone knows when that smile will return. The bell rings again and this time dadi gets up and opens the door for a flower delivery which she refuses but the delivery man says its a party order put in by mrs. Viplav tirpathi ! dadi announces sarcastically there's a party! She shakes her head and exits from the entrance area of AN . Things haven't changed with Kanak she is still the awful mother in law who picks on his son's wife! back bites who did she ask before arranging this party?if Viplav gets to know about this he will go ballistic! No one around here consult her for anything! she has been reduced to a piece of trash! pushed in the corner... ssshhh goes Dashrant,bids Kanak to lower her voice as he can cope with Viplav's rage but to speak about that demon will be foolish! One never knows when she will sent them packing off to prison! yet again the bell rings and Kanak goes to open the door but her hand and her whole body is jerked and hurled to one side as the door is opened by Mrs. Viplav tirpathi! to receive another delivery ! her signature is required and once done, she spins around the queen of AN Mrs. Kamini Viplav tirpathi! Well well only a diamond cuts a diamond! The she devil herself rules this hell house.. she rules now in complete dictatorship . This partnership with Kamini sure got the evil ones Dashrant and Kanak their due. This is there punishment from the gods.. the smart of the rod! steadily without much of a sound to the outside world ,but nevertheless within the hell house these once with clout people Kanak and Dashrant have been reduced to creepy crawlies that crawl on the floors of AN! ..like a queen she walks towards the menials of the house and informs Kanak ,in particular she wants the house ship shape and sparking clean as she has arranged a party for Viplav's birthday ,being his wife! had it been in her power she would pluck the stars from the sky for him. dadi queries if he'll come at all? Kamini replies with confidence that he will do surely .but dadi thinks its a tall order as he won't even accept a tilak on his forehead , let alone attend a party...
No! no tilak.. on his forehead Viplav refuses as he stands in door way of his love shrine ,the ashram. A group of widows stand to bless their benefactor who has done so much for them ,given them a new lease of life! he not only gave them shelter, a job ,but self respect and an entity in society,.. one older widow blesses him with longevity and he touches her feet with a bitter remark..how much longer life does he need to live.. with a sigh he walks in and morosely muses how much more does he have to carry on living without her? he smiles as he rests his palm on the tree around which many of his wooing antics with his beloved Dhani featured.. yes those were the days! how they thought they would never end... but they ended .. and how he painted white again.. those days gone but not really.. they are locked in his heart.. and the man smiles in the ashram in the company of his memories ,this is the place where he wants to be with Dhani.. his Dhani.. the colour of his ishq is Dhani ..kamini phones him , he ignores the call she cannot penetrate through his memories.. Kamini back at AN awaits his arrival at he party.. enraged she senses where he might be ? she grinds her teeth she wil erase that Dhani out of his memory , he will have to start life anew with her! Viplav will have to accept that Dhani is dead! She is dead! After all these years her lust for Viplav has not been satisfied by Viplav.. as Kamini refuses to face the fact that the man she is married to so to speak , is a paper cut out .. his body and soul lives elsewhere in his private world of the ashram surrounded by his memories..of his Ishq ..dhani
His haldi handprints on the ashram wall, the day he was taking Dhani home to AN.. are still on the wall as sure as he is alive! ..he pauses before them, hands in his pockets and lost he looks around the courtyard .. goes up to her room which he has converted into his office cum study.. and sits in his swivel chair behind his desk.. slowly looks and feels the piece of jewellery around his wrist and lost in thought he conjures in his mind how amongst the charred bits on the burnt ashram floor he found her mangulsutra ,how he wept as he picked it up.. his spirit cries out in complete satisfaction.. he knows she is with him , every single moment, despite whatever any one says he knows she is beside him constantly... his Dhani.
Thousands of miles away from Banaras in the tight overcrowded lanes of Mumbai a little girl runs from a voice Vidha! Listen to me! a young woman runs after her and manages to catch the little girl , with the woman's phone , be careful she could have got hurt the woman says but the girl replies she not giving the phone back as she wants to speak to her papaa! But eventually the woman gathers her, brings the little girl home .. Dulari calls Vidha holds a piece of material against her and says, looks nice she stitch a lovely frock for her right away. Vidha shows her sketch to the woman who brought her home, mum take a look , that's her ,that's dad and that's Vidha mum where dad ? tell her something about her dad.. Dulari looks up at the young woman who takes the sketch book from Vidha and looks at the child's illustrations about the three of them.. the young woman's eyes well up with tears slowly she moves her hair behind her ear and Dhani's green jhumki shows as she wipes a tear off her cheek..dulari looks at her daughter helplessly as Dhani recalls what her mother had Said to her outside the gates of AN.. what will she tell the child when it asks about her father and family.. today Dhani wipes her tears she goes out on the room and sits in the front room.. she doesn't have the answer to give to her child about where and who her father is? in a huff she shuts the scrap book but Vidha argues she wants to talk to her dad ,wish him happy birthday! Dulari tries to side line her by telling Vidha she's making a lovely dress for her..but there's no stopping Vidha who goes on! she wants to with papa .. and wants to see his photo because she wants to make acard for himshe gets told off for being stubborn and not letting her mother work. Vidha pull s a face .. in creeps a man with a mask and stops near Vidha picks her up and says from behind his monkey mask , Bajrangbali has come to help her and whose upsetting his dolly ? she tells him its her dad's birthday and wants him to make her dad's picture then he'll give babaa a gift! he wants a photo but she tells him there isn't one! Dhani tells him, ignore her she's being stubborn but he says he'll make he'll make her dad's sketch for her as he wants a gift from her.. the nice man sits on the door step with his sketch book and asks Vidha who does his dad look like? Vidha asks her mother to describe him..dhani recalls with fondness her lost love.. his eyes she recalls with tears in her eyes when he first threw red colour on her white sari.. he had eyes that smiled with mischief.. and his nose what did that look like , with a lump in her throat Dhani , replies ,his nostrils flared in anger at all times, and his lips what were they like? Dhani replies, a smile sat on them always.. he would lend a helping hand to any one, never broke anyone's hurt she recalls..the nice man says fine that's enough all done! And he gives Vidha the sketch of super man Vidha is elated and he gives her a paper plane and tells her one day her dad will fly over and take her with him.. the nice man gives Dhani a smile thanks Dulari for tea and then leaves.. Dhani confides in her mother , for the sake of Vidha all memories of the past have to be put aside and only good things should be told Vidha about her father..that he is the best dad in the world, irrespective of what was meted out to them they cannot bad mouth her father before her.. Dulari says she totally understands but wants to know about Vidha's admission fee and Dhani say she spoke to the principal who has reduced the fees for Vidha .. she is good in her studies she should study in English medium of instruction school so that it makes her family proud! Says Dhani spontaneously Inspite of all the beatings and heartaches Dhani suffered her values in life haven't changed loyalty to her marriage vows, picking up the pieces in life and starting afresh ,as a single mother giving her child a secure and loved home environment , wants to give her child all those things she never had access to at an early each like the best of education within her means..
It's party time at AN Kanak is shown her place by Kamini ..that gone are the days when she chooti malkin of this house now she is a dogs body ,a skivvy , at the part a waitress who serves and waits a upon people! Dashrant complains their position has been reduced to nothing in the house. Kanak complains to babu ji and dadi such a witch this girl is and dadi reminds her but thats exactly what she called Dhani too... and Kanak admits she was mad Dhani was a harmless little lamb where as this banshee turned out to be the vixen in lambs clothing ever since that Dhani left she left all the troubles of the world for them!..at least there is retribution for their evil deeds from Kanak and Dashrant they can see Dhani's true valve of Dhani ,who is no more for them.. Dashrant however tells Kanak to bend Viplav ears against this kami ni ,its good for them ,as it'll keep her in line.. but Kanak says how can she, Viplav hardly is at home spends his time in his office Guest ask Kamini about Viplav's absence she replies he should be here in a few minutes as he's held up with foreign clients. .. Kamini tries to phone him frantically!
Viplav is his office is busy with his philanthropic work deals with a father who needs financial help for his children's education . Viplav gives him a bulky cheque from his company's welfare department funding.. and says he's never too busy to help them. Kamini's phone rings which he blanks out completely and then asks te older girl what does she plan on becoming the girl says a lawyer just like him! Viplav gives her a big smile.. after they leave Viplav faces Dhani's picture in his office and tells her , you wanted an education Dhani, now in your memory I will educate these children and he smiles completely complacent...
Well.. read it if you want to know what happens after five years on from the bomb explosion .. not that I daresay you all didn't know what was on the cards.. overall a fair portion of Viplav , he keeps to himself doing what would make his Dhani happy.. there is Bajrangbali in the story seems a good guy.. seeing Dulari was healing, gave a sense of Dhani around... hamlet53 31.5.216 ..
Precap: Kamini comes ranting into his office yelling Dhani is dead!and he throws a table lamp in fury and yells inher face he knows she's not dead , Dhani is not dead she is alive in him in every breath he takes Viplav says as he stands defiantly with his back to Kamini facing Dhani's picture..
