IKRS Wednesday 1st June 2016 ep 264 My Take ~ The growing fragrance ...
For any parent their first born child is like a flower that springs up in their life's garden . It gives to its parent the very first opportunity of using and applying their parenting skills. With each passing day this flowers fragrance grows , intensifies and surrounds it's parents very existence with its presence , its needs and growing wants. Caring for this little flower's growth becomes the sole purpose of the parents life. In return the flower gives its parent bundles of joy and the unfading ,undying fragrance of love.
Work ,work and constant work is Viplav's obsession or rather a substitution put in place by choice in the absence of Dhani in his life, and what's more he has no issue in setting his family right about it. Gingerly Kanak approaches him doing her motherly task of reminding him about helping in matters related to domestic affairs especially so since things have changed considerably. He retorts, she and Kamini should look to that. Kanak tries to appeal to him, but instead his mother gets a sharp answer from him , he's not the least bit interested ,he has loads of his own work to deal with ,besides its true there was a time when he took upon himself home responsibilities ,but then that was the time when Dhani lived in this house as his wife! now don't expect anything from him.. he answers back tersely. He remembers well, how his own mother was the one who orchestrated the most trouble against Dhani. His mother dear who never accepted the girl her only son loved, instead of supporting him, time and again she hurt him by timely rejecting Dhani... family , home is not part of his life, but his work and his home, his office in Dhani's ashram is! concludes Viplav.
Dhani though apart from her own little family, is interested in what goes around her neighbourhood too.. Parsiya is piling in a young boy and girl with a suitcase into a waiting rickshaw. She challenges this whole scenario , looks to her like some sort of elopement bag and baggage, is told by Parsiya the pair love each other ,want to marry but parents are against the idea, hence he's helping them by taking them to the station. Dhani will not turn a blind eye and points out some hard facts the girl is not even eighteen years old the legal age for marriage and the boy is jobless , no wonder they don't have parental support! Parsiya tries to support the couple ,the boy is educated he'll get a job somewhere . But Dhani retorts like he did after his mill got shut down.. but he argues ,they love each other.. Dhani was never one to give up her principles , and from hindsight she replies , its easy to fall in love, but to rise in it is the real challenge , they realize not the responsibilities that love brings ,the commitments that are part and parcel of married life. She sees their marriage by eloping as irresponsible . She advices them to wait for a year ,by then Geeta would be eighteen and Sumeet could get a job too ,this way they will get their families consent and blessings. But dhani's response seems to bring out the bare realties of their big step brings the winds out of their sails for the time bring but Parsiya , says watch they'll marry geeta of but dhani becomes more proactive says she'll have a word with geeta parents! This will be her promise commits Dhani, to save things escalating in both families by saving the honour of two families by curbing their children from committing an irresponsible act in the name of love .. For the past has shown her, how she held dashrant collar because he cussed her mother! and that man abandoned her due to his family.. Today she is wiser and mellowed and can see that parents share of bond of both rights and duties hand in hand..both children see dhani as a figure of respect and return to their homes, but Parsiya disagrees with Dhani as she has separated two people who love each other , what if they run into problems. Confidently Dhani replies, there won't be a problem , as what he was doing was not the right way ,he wants to know, what she calls the right way? Nothing is the right way in this world ,if it was then she wouldn't be living here in the ghettos like this with her mother and daughter ! If all was right ,he would be in a job! His mill would still be up and running ! Tell me why guriya's dad doesn't come for her? so dhani nothing is fair and right!.. Parsiya stands for the unfairness and disparities of life.. Dhani goes silent, as such she has no answers for him..life is unfair but then there it is.. As long as dhani did her bit the right way.. She muses. Before she leaves she asks about flowers ? he assures her ,she needn't worry he's looking after that ..
Viplav rolls up his bedding on the floor , while Kamini sleeps on his bed alone.. she whinges why does he have to sleep on the floor.. Viplav is not unanswerable to her about anything unconcerned he gets his suit case and packs his stuff, she wants to know what's happening ?with great displeasure he tells her he's off to Mumbia she perks up and is over the moon to learn he going to the wedding he tells her he's going there for on business first , but Kamini gets excited she'll pack too but he whips out the credit clear ,he booked only for himself ,she needs to book according to her own requirement ,he s saunters of from her aloof, cold and distant ..even the idea of travelling with her is unthinkable for him.. kamini feels rejected, but then she is shameless ,believes in forcing herself on him.. believing that slowly and steadily she will reach him eventually..
New dawn , a Tirpathi draped in the red blazing sun emblem shawl worships the son god! it's Tripurari the new lord and master of AN by the looks of things a big change , but no change as far as his partnership with mistress Kamini is concerned .. their low level liaison still lives on after five years .she phones him and informs him Viplav has agreed to go to Mumbai, its a golden chance for her to dispel Dhani from his mind in Mumbai ,and make him hers forever..Kamini the foolish dreamer dreams on about possessing Viplav's love.. for which she fret but will never get she bought the man but his love is elsewhere Mumbai the very place where Kamini intends to conquer Viplav!
Mumbai indeed! at the wedding venue Dhani ,Vidha and Parsiya over see the progress of final touches of the floral . Dhani seeks perfection from the major to the minor . Dhani climbs a ladder to correct the decor. As it is Simone the wedding planner is clearly jealous of Dhani's work, she fears competition from Dhani She tries to humiliate Dhani in public.. but for Dhani the experience of public ridicule is not unknown to her many times she was subjected to it in the past by now she immune! besides she needs this money for her child's education . Simone mocks her regards the making of welcome garlands for guests , she taunts her don't make the ones like she for the mandir! literally knocks Dhani off the ladder! Vidha will not watch in silence , flares her nostrils like her pappa and screws her face ,tells the wedding planner off! Dhani chastises her child for having bad mannesr she needs to respect her elders, behave or else she'll be sent home! Parsiya agrees with Vidha as that Simone could have knocked her off the ladder. Vidha is upset for being told off and she storms off and Dhani moan, she has a temper just like vip... that man's name Dhani's.. tongue slips!...
A white car pulls into the drive, a breeze blows, once again the song the colour of Ishq beloved! the colour of Ishq is white resounds in Dhani's heart outside a car door slams and Viplav comes out.. Dhani grips the rung of the ladder for support , the colour of Ishq is white ,Viplav pulls off his raybans .. the colour of Ishq is white! he too hears the tune that lives with in , Dhani frowns , inside ,while his foot steps get nearer Ishq ! Ishq! Colour! Viplav takes a leisurely stroll Ishq !Ishq the colour of Ishq is white beloved! Ishq is white... Dhani pale as a sheet Parsiya turns to her ,is she ok.. Dhani feels strange.. but then the garlands are required job in hand calls Dhani takes a step then pauses.. yes she senses him.. five years past ,but she can still sense his presence.. he unnerves her! Viplav walks out side in the drive , amongst guests his eye is distracted by the colourful balloons floating in the blue skies!slowly he walks ahead.. a strange sense of complacency decsends on him ..like he will meet himself in some form... Vidha runs out of the house and looks up at the skies too colourful balloons floating across the skies ,her mother had said the day her papa will come ,the sky will have balloons floating across it.. wowww! it'll be a special day .. Viplav walks step by step closer to the house.. her mother said, flower petals will rain from the skies.. and then Vidha's wee heart will say papa you are here! and Viplav stands and looks ahead , quite lost in peace .. strange feeling , yet rest for a weary traveller.. Vidha turns and runs back inside the house to tell her mother the good news! Inside Dhani's stands with red flowers in both her hands ,the breeze blows through her hair ..she lost somewhere she's preparing a bouquet but the stalks are going elsewhere.. Parsiya tells her all floral decor has been competed outside. he asks her again is she ok? her hands her trembling ,no she is not alright feels odd.. but she's fine has someone come outside? she asks, Parsiya doesn't know ,but Vidha comes rushing in! mamma papa has come! Dhani's eyes pop out.. that feeling she had.. Vidha shouts, mummy papa is here! she needs to get agrip over herself .. Dhani does and explains to her over excited child , no Vidha papa cannot be here..the child repeats the picture she had painted for her about flower petals , the breeze blowing and ballons floating ..well all of that is happening outside so her papa has arrived! Dhani eyes expand and somewhere in the recesses of her heart she wishes it were true..but she has to snap out of this odd sensation of feeling him around her. still she bluffs her self and tells Vidha ,no papa won't come as yet !but Vidha is stubborn and pragmatic like her father wants to show Dhani the evidence drag s her to the front door,while Dhani inisits , vidha he won't be coming as yet.. before shecould see the person her daughter saw and called papa , Dhani' phone rings her mother is taken ill , she asks Simone to grant her leave Parsiya offers to work in place of Dhani .. Dhani leaves Vidha with Parsiya too and rushes out of the house ... Dhani walks out briskly as Viplav walks into the house with a client.. he looks at the inside of the house.. more floral decor... Dhani by passes him he suddenly pauses as he senses the love of his life! she senses him her nerves drops her phone and crouches to pick it up.. yes he can sense her fragrance behind him he turns slowly.. but a man blocks his Dhani from him .. it is not meant to be.. but his Ishq's fragrance linger around him.. both of them sense each other , viplav suddenly turns but Dhani by that had time had passed and with a fixed face looks disappointed ..and he walks on.. Dhani rushes down the drive out of the car comes Kamini Dhani by passes her both women are busy with their phones. Kamini goes into the building
Vidha wants to know from Parsiya why Simone was telling her mother off.. Parsiya replies , all bosses tell people off! she wants to know if her mum will become a boss one day? and he gives her hope she sure will one day! Parsiya is truly a Bajrang balli for Dhani he looks out for her in her Ram's absence. The tray of garlands to welcome guests is ready.. Vidha takes one and now the little imp insists this one is for her to put on her papa when he arrives.. Parsiya takes it from her to give to Simone! Vidha protests but follows Parsiya ... her papa the little flower will see..
Viplav and Kamini enter together and mrs.kaushik welcomes Viplav warmly .. right before them stands little Vidha eyeing the man in three piece black suit and open collar mauve shirt...she glares at him with flared nostrils .. mrs khashik takes the garland that her mother made and puts it around his neck.. Vidha stares at him .. and at the garland that one she chose for her papa ...she glares up at this man as he looks and feels the garland around his neck... takes the garland off and says to mrs kausjik her decorations are very nice! Vidha stares across at him as he holds the garland tenderly in his palms and says , these garlands too are quite extraordinary and different.. then Simone introduces herself , and says she's the wedding planner and she the one who prepared all the decorations Vidha s nostrils flared and she speaks out, my mummy made the garlands ! Viplav looks down at this little flower! With a smile his palm brushes her chubby cheek with his palm and his face breaks into a beaming smile, your mummy made this garland..that's why it's the best garland ,tell your mum I liked it a lot! Simone face warps with jealousy ...Parsiya apologies , sorry sir she's a child.. Viplav smiles, no need to apologize, she's a lovely child, is she your daughter? Parsiya says, yes and then carries her and takes her away! Viplav waves at this little flower and his eyes shine as if he was meeting himself! Vidha firms her mouth and gives him a sulky look.. over Parsiya s shoulder.. Ishq! Ishq the colur of Ishq is seeing the most beautiful garland , the most beautiful flower in the word Ishq ! Ishq!
The story of Ishq carries on, gradually the three portions of love begin to converge... whether they diverge and bloom forth as a flower of Ishq? is to be seen in times to come.. heart warming episode when a child associates the signs of times with the arrival of her father.. Ishq is an unseen sense of having one's love around. hamlet53 6.2.16
