JNDSD~ My take 8thFebruary 2017~ Her human armament
Many world faith scriptures outline the must have ideal criteria for a good husband. That he would protect, defend and guard his wife like he would his own body. Like- wise the wife too will act as the protective shield to prompt her husband's longevity and save him from harm's way. The ideal husband thus, is one who protects his wife. Looking at the episode Vividha and Atharv seemingly not married with the required rites and rituals within the scriptures. Yet one look at them in the perilous journey. They give the impression of husband and wife. For Atharv,her safety is paramount. He was and remains her human armament bound to her in spirit and soul eternally. The ice between them had thawed and now in their togetherness they walk hand in hand, in their mission free Ravish! Ravish is the reason for the continuation of their journey of bonding yet more at a time when they seemed set apart. Now ,bless him Ravish even in captivity true to his promise to Vividha continues to unite them. Not so long ago, Vividha was unsure about who to chose? Yet now led by Atharv's protective hand, she dares to conclude. In every season of her life may Atharv lead her. He knows her like the palm of his hand! The terrain still looks dry, severe and unwelcoming .The trees around them stand bare, bearing the brunt of a cruel harsh winter. They seem lost in terms of where they are? But for Vividha all is not lost. Her drive to achieve her mission gets an impetus by Atharv s presence and suddenly being lost for both becomes slightly insignificant as they gradually find their emotional bearings yet again. With these two even, emotional hitches, sentimental dubious dips emerge as temporary and alters into permanence..
Their combined drive brings them to the border separating them from the other side, out of bounds for both. But the vast territory ahead demarcated by the barbed wire dares them to cross. The other side holds something very dear that belongs to them. Thus yes! Atharv knows what Vividha wants? He now needs to one more time , make way for her..in the past too he was her waymaker.. this brabed wire should convey to her the message of his heart that he will be for her like a bridge over waters.. for her flow is life source to him.. The barbed wires symbolizes all the hurt ,pain and smarting Atharv had to undergo to save vividha's body, mind and soul from being pierced by the sharp pointed thorny nails of ill circumstances and family betrayal! But here and now he will revives his vow that he took.. that he would take upon his body all harm that in so much even dares to look at her! Before her eyes he arches up the obstruction, to shield her body and from underneath him.. Vividha slides and gets clear passage to the other side of the border where Ravish is! His back gets nipped slightly she gets alarmed! But he looks at her and resolves a doubt within her.. they need to look for captian Ravish now .. the wound of him questioning her choice matter s not. For now on enemy territory Atharv supports her without a doubt.. worry not for him but Ravish! Thus announces what she wants too, to prove her innocence captain Ravish! Here we come ! for Vividha she crosses the perilous ground of Atharv s doubts!!
On the wrong side, but for the right reasons! Atharv's level of care is no surprise to her.. even before when she dropped in a heap with fatigue..he would know. Now too before fatigue and lack of directions in Ravish s search disorients her he sits her down on a rock, tenderly. A warm feel of her palm between his thermal gloved palms , is a brief assurance from him, he is here by her, for her.. The taweez draws his attention.. Vividha recalls with gratitude the brief encounter with a good woman who offered her sanctuary from one chasing after her, plus sent her off with the sacred amulet with a prayer of protection for her life!
Crossing more uneven and inconsistent ways, just like their lives.. but even and consistent they become when hand in hand! She nearly slips ,about to lose her balance! But his firm grip on her life always tips the imbalance till both are in control! at par with each other's existence! Atharv and Vividha a well balanced pair! But..he faces slight imbalance when her sacred taweez is unseen off her wrist! he has to find it! Cannot risk anything happening to her! he ignores her pleas to rush, as time is scarce! But Atharv spots it , retrives it from the water with a long twig.. hurls it and lo and behold the land mind blasts! Loud enough to get the message from the heavens that invisible death traps lie in wait for them! Incendiary devices! The landmines are symbolic of their life, unforeseen events which they lived through making them dangerous times for both..but united, they always managed to somehow go round them! For as in the past..here presently too ,Atharv commands Vividha to follow him step by step.. as in this instance too, it's her life .That she must not come to no harm! For she, Vividha is his life source too..
Their united effort at fighting and averting death itself goes not unseen by the gods..in the middle of nowhere emerges the lamb, symbolic of hope! Atharv thinks nothing of the young animal. Yet it's Vividha who gives reason and substance to his faith! The lamb is taken to be the symbol.. that help may be at hand it's a matter of having faith and doing away with doubts! It's like Vividha trusts Atharv and in return wants him to do away with existing doubts nd misgivings,in their relationship . Vividha sends out an SOS in the taweez, ties it round the neck of the lamb. She has faith , that the taweez will bring protection to both of them in the form of the right person rescuing them..
Those with faiths feel the need for worship especially during dire straits .. that three of their children are in dangerous zone! binds the family at home .. and in reply to a call to the officer over the phone Suman reveals, apart from Ravish ,Atharv and Vividha are also out there. Sujata is the symbol of hope at home.. a visit to pray before Maata is suggested.. in the faith that the goddess will open a door.. a symbol and sign of hope ..
Atharv yet again takes her pain, from their vantage point in on the terrorists meeting! , unknowingly one steps back on her hand in her tucked in position Atharv provides protective cover over her hand. Their silent excruciating pain gets them confirmation that these men are Ravish's captors and their hideout may be close by. Atharv is the think tank.. one who extends Vividha's original effort.
Precap: Ravish in captivity spotted by vividha... Vividha Atharv surrounded by terrorists..
In the episode one sees that Ravish in fact as a binding agent between Atharv and Vividha .Some conflicting images of danger the landmines, the dividing barbed wire unites Vividha and Atharv on the issue of joint mission now. References to spiritual peace and faith in the forms of puja and last but not the least the lamb, has to be a spark of hope.. for rescue! Hamlet53 9.2.12
