EDT~ ep 43, 20.12.17, My stance. Pandora's box.
Greek legend goes Pandora was the first mortal woman created by Zeus as a reprimand for Prometheus who gifted the earth with the source of fire. Pandora thus was put on earth with a jar or box filled with many evils to be released on earth to plague people with. The term refers to a process that once begun generates many rising problems. Have to say today's episode triggers off further curiosity to find out about the contents of the box received by the Bisht's some two years ago.The letter accompanying the box is now found to be self explanatory. As to who the writer is? and who it was addressed to?
This letter and this box that Ram and Suman overlooked when they left in a hurry. Ram's need to visit this old house to collect Matta's idol ,by some strange intervention, prompts his attention to both. Appears, the box itself points to the evidence that the contents Sharanya refers to, happened before she was struck down with comatose. Something that happened to her while she was at Kapli hills. Just as the course of events have it , now she has no recollection of what she penned down? But the connection is uncanny the letter was written on 21st December two years ago, and now when Ram stumbles across it for the first time, it happens to be 21st December as well! Sharanya's incident two years ago is still unexplained. It swings like a pendulum between the past and now. Sharanya's partial memory thickens the mystery. Then or now, Ram senses enough to gauge his daughter's life was? and perhaps still is on!
Shiv ,I suspect is content that Ram eventually gets to see his daughters letter. Being a spirit Shiv can only do as much, as earthly realms of being, pose obstacles for Shiv. It was necessary to give Sharanya's family some lead that two years ago, something happened, that may have a bearing on her even today. There is a feeling that information, something, anything is being sought. One thing is found, like the letter.. yet more searching is required.
Rajan , Chandni scene is her usual searching for clues. Both meet somehow. Rajan never fails to mock and flirt with her. She has fallen from grace with Rajan. He taunts her , she lied about shranaya and Vyom's horoscopes compatibility. He knew the truth this marriage would harm Vyom! Chandni finds out that Rajan is totally indifferent to his son coming to harm. She wonders why the antipathy? Rajan chuckles.. some secrets are best kept concealed, as finding out the truth means forgoing with life.. thus Rajan yet again warns Chandni to back off with her pottering around. What's interesting is previously he wanted her to play mum to Vyom, now finding out her true colours he bans her from attending Vyom's wedding! Madhvi was right, Rajan can bring a person down as fast as he picks them up!! Meanwhile what secrets does Rajan hold?? and he always has some pending, business to attend to.. Pandora's box!
Ram in much haste desperately searches for network to contact his family.. has no luck due to remote out of reach area. A sullen Shiv searches for a way to stop Ram from reaching his family. In deep frustration , makes the street lamppost nearly crash of Ram's car. By Maata's grace Ram s car misses death by a hair breadth! but fear resides in him, of some unknown being! Fear of how will he warn his daughter of some danger to her very life???
Some anxiety and media prompted fear, troubles Suman and her children too. No news of Ram ,plus news on tv about approaching solar eclipse which gives rife to evil spirits activity. Today's Sharanya's wedding day.. doom and gloom weighs down the day. Right from day one ,her marriage is like a Pandora's box, sending off negative vibes. No news of Ram , is where a mother has to lie , to shield her daughter from knowing , her father will but the ceremony should go ahead, Ram will make it as soon as possible. Suman keeps a brave front, chivvies her daughter to get ready. Then leave for the wedding venue. Sharanya fears the approaching eclipse.. but wishes to stop at the temple to meet with Sadhvi.. has a positive ring to it .
Vyom getting ready as the groom, with Rati beside him is another light and positive scene. Rati always saw him and Sharanya as made for each other. He mopes though, she's only getting married to him to protect him from the evil spirit. Rati teases him, that it shows Sharanya cares for him. That in itself is love! So Vyom knows full well that Sharanya does not love him.. but he still wants to marry her??? Rati instead of Sharanya reminds Vyom to ensure that Maata's red thread should always be tied around his wrist.. the fear of the spirit is felt. For, Shiv will be the ever present, this time invisible uninvited guest! The sinister negativity weighs down this wedding!
Behind the scenes Odhni is alarmed as she sees Shiv with an unsheathed blood dripping dagger in his hand. she calls for Shiv's help , but Shiv is one aggrieved apparition ready to kill! Odhni clearly has empathy towards Sharanya and more so about Vyom's life! she perceives Vyom as innocent. She still is ready to stop this marriage from happening and hindering Shiv from going on a killing spree!
No news of Ram, but a crashed car.. and he ends up hurt by the road side. An angry Shiv watches him..as Ram hangs on to Maata's idol, praying for his daughter's protection! His prayers are answered as Sharanya stands with Sadhvi in Maata's temple.. Sadhvi seeks the goddess's blessings for Sharanya who is going through marriage to safeguard the life of a friend from an evil spirit. so Sadhvi too is aware that Vyom is Sharanya's friend.. and not a man she is in love with. Sadhvi words to Sharanya form spiritual weapons for Sharanya. She tells her be of good courage , no evil spirits, fiends, or apparitions can stand before the goddess's might.. Sadhvi encourages Sharanya,that Savitri snatched back her husband's life from the god of death himself. She Sharanya is only up against one spirit! Sharanya seeks Sadhvi's blessings and with renewed spiritual vigour she leaves the temple to save her friend's life and combat the unknown spirit before whom she cannot weaken.. Shiv recites his feelings, I didn't get you, despite loving so much. "Someone else will make you his, after performing a few rituals.. hamlet53 21.12.17
