JNDSD~ My take~Tuesday 7.3.17 ~ Action's speak louder than words..
As humans we use our bodies to convey both verbal and non verbal messages. Our actions at times are better determinants of our behaviour and character rather than words. Actions can be seen and seldom leave doubt regards their interpretation. Another phrase that jumps to my mind is body language. In today's episode my eyes focus on how characters use actions to omit meaning and sens,e as a medium of expression. The actions some mute, point to significant findings that end up having a bearing on the plot and characterisations. Talking about actions. I consider body positions too, especially when I look at Madhav! In the foetal position, considered one of the most comfortable and familiar positions to the human, as they remain in the position for the last two trimesters of pregnancy.
In a protective foetal position, with his back curved , head bowed a bit and limbs bent and drawn up to his torso, sits Madhav enclosed by the frame of a side table. Hungrily, he munches and crunches away at a juicy apple. The way he fits himself in a safe unobtrusive enclosure indicates, that the boy shows signs of missing his mother. He is used to sleeping on a soft bed between his parents . So restless, he seeks a softer surface of the settee. But the darkness, this house and no mother.. takes it toll, as his psychological trauma makes him restless and unsettled. Almost like a baby needing his mother Madhav's limbs flail and twitch! and once more he returns to the enclosed space under the table..maybe it makes him feel safe closer to his mother as his body begins to retract..
Vividha ,his mother's womb too leaps restlessly! at the thought of where her lost child maybe? Madhav has none to give him physical or emotional support except the sense of his mothers nearness. Vividha has Ravish by her side looking to her needs ..a simple gesture offering her tea , reminds her of his stalwart support. The active hunt for Madhav reveals cctv footage at the police station. Sigh of relief from Vividha and Ravish..
Suman's footsteps down the stairs..walking along towards the table.. Madhav curls up in a foetal position, as if clinging to his mother's womb..curves his back, bows his head right down as if to protect his chest! draws his legs up tightly to protect his abdomen, almost covering his head with his arms.. to save his brain from the feet of this wicked woman! who given the chance would dash his brains out with her foot! Suman stands beside the table, looks around suspiciously .finds nothing, as Madhav's guardian angel , his mother's love and memory covers him over, like an invisible cloud .. Suman spots nothing as she mutters .. she will ensure that Atharv and Vividha may never meet..but her evil words are to no avail ..for their vital link has already made an entry into this den of iniquity!
An action of the cctv footage , speaks louder than words, and causes distress to both Ravish and Vividha as the man who bumps Madhav,is unidentifiable due to gross camera imaging error! Mental frustration and fatigue hits the mother, but seeing her son rescued by this stranger somewhat relieves both Vividha and Ravish.But Ravish wants more prompt action on the face of the man in cctv's.for this unknown man's face revelationwill lead to greater issues. Yet some actions are purposely delayed...as some knots have to be untied, before further action can be taken! Vividha and Ravish are told about some positive action, eventually.. about the area where Madhav is likely to be..what strange concurrence ..the area rings a bell! Will their further actions be loud enough to reach their son's ears? They are on task to rescue their boy!
Once awake, curiosity takes the better of an adolescent boy.. life is all about exploratory action. However what he beholds is dadi with her back to him chanting spells before tongues of fire.. the evil Suman forgets to cover her back! especially from Madhav!and soon discovers his actions doing a runner speak louder then Suman wants to hear!! he knows now ,he caught her out!
Madhav runs like the wind to save his life from his dadi! This time Madhav has to stop! Before he runs over the tall frame of the crazy driver! One look at the little man tells Atharv this lads action suddenly yells and tells him ,the lad is frightened and running from something.. Atharv ,must wonder ,second time they meet, and the boy energizes before him from nowhere! what a coincidence!!only this time this little sprinter is in his house!!!
Well action speak louder than words! Suman finds Atharv and Madhav facing each other! She hides!but wonders how come he is in Delhi ? will it mean Vividha to follow also?? Suman is well plagued with terror.. But there's no stopping Madhav ,mute, still tell tale action of looking in her direction! and Suman hiding from his big bold accusing eyes! Madhav's actions prompts Atharv's reflex actions! as he too follows the boys eyes.. Suman coils back from both their scanning eyes..but she gives Madhav the glare of fear!
Actions speak louder than words.. blood calls to blood! Atharv bends his knees to the boys level.. Then. nothing in the universe can stop what destiny designates! A son runs to his father's bosom! and hugs him tightly! One blissful sensation that Raghav never felt before.. a blood connection..but the evil presence manages to disengage the embrace! As Madhav, like a frightened calf ,runs and hides under the confined frame of the table !
Actions speak louder than words... it's the father's inherent love for his son ,that makes Atharv gently assure the frightened lad.. that no harm will come to him.. there is no one there.. a father gives his son security ,that he is with him, as father's do! but Madhav discloses there is ..and much to Suman's horror .. the truth sets Madhav free, when he tells Atharv he saw someone downstairs.. it was dadi! Atharv too sees Suman's reflection and challenges her about it ,but she denies all knowledge of him.. Atharv interrogates Madhav about his family etc.. but Madhav' frayed nerves , wipes out the information. Suman needn't, worry about Atharv his memory is in her control..he will not to able to Madhav's actions
Atharva tells all its odd but this is the very boy who he nearly missed colliding into and strangely enough he landed up here.. when Atharv suggests the appropriate action, case be handed over to police, Suman knows such action will give rife to a situation where the families will come across each other! An action that has to be evaded! Instead she tries to bully Madhav that she will hand him over to her charity care homes.. as, one never knows the boy may be an orphan! But some actions stir and foul Suman's plans as chintu gets the morning paper and announces much to Suman's dismay that an ad has been placed about the boys contacts number!...
Really part two of yesterday's episode. The highlight for me was the withdrawn Madhav in the beginning. The truth of the matter is that he is too young to be without his mother.. the embrace between father and son was a great watch..mind you, the precap is interesting, Suman introduces the lad as a Vashist! Ravish and vividha's son..madhav!! Does Suman actually believe Madhav is Ravish s son? Suman is focussed on the task of keeping Vividha away from Delhi . bit of quandary ! hamlet53 8.3.17
