|| Radha and Fear - What is Fear? ||

Hey Guys,

Fear is a powerful and primitive human emotion. It alerts us to the presence of danger and it was critical in keeping us alive. Fear can be divided into two responses, biochemical and emotional. The biochemical response is universal, while the emotional response is highly individual.

First, you talked about the biochemical response, the physical reaction to the fear --a natural emotion to the mankind as a whole, and in certain cases the highly personal one , but in general, it is a survival mechanism, i.e, the" fight or flight" response in which our body prepares itself to either enter into combat or run away. This biochemical reaction is likely an evolutionary development. It's an automatic response that is crucial to our survival, to Radha's survival! She observed his Maayajaal for some time , feared to encounter , tried to ran away from Krishna , in that process ran towards Ayan , for her he was a safe and secure person, but after realising a few flaws in Ayan , slowly the wisdom awakens, though not distanced herself from Ayan , but gained confidence to look at Krishna , tried her best to understand his motives and aims , in that process, lost that fear somewhere [ thank God !!!] and now she entered in to combat mode , gained confidence, comfortable now to deal with Krishna in a relaxed mood , that is why the teasing and mocking him with a girlish playfulness, a highly personalised emotional response from a sheltered daughter as you precisely said .

Repeated exposure to similar situations leads to familiarity. This greatly reduces both the fear and the resulting caution, then the elation for regaining her confidence, leading any young girl to seek out ever new and bigger thrills!! That is what is happening to Radha now , she wanted to prevent Krishna from participating in the games , so that, she will feel happy by winning over him , for outsmart him!! Now her mind is flooding with ideas and heart is attracted towards Krishna , moving slowly towards that resultant love > Freedom for Radha from the shackles of the society , from her father's desire to keep her under his control , --here your phrase I love most --'he jailed her with emotions and promises ' 👏 pure literary bliss to read such well-meant expressions!

A well- written post Kshithi .🤗

Truly, even in today's society, overprotective love often triggers unrecognized fear in the minds of its recipients, and makes them later regret their actions under the effects of the same.

Growing up in a kind-of-conservative family even I've judged people by their clothes until a very recent time when I finally got the hang of what was wrong with the world in general. :S

@kshiti I am a 90's kid. I know what it is to wear a jeans. When I did my B-tech I had to wear jeans for lab. U know the entire drivers in the auto rickshaw stand will stare at u as u walk to the bus stop to catch bus. First I was intimidated and will ask my uncle to drop me at bus stop the days I wear jeans. But slowly I learned to walk on my own overcoming fear. A girl is free only till she sees the world through a man's eyes. The moment she sees it through her eyes all the invisible chains come in. But then there are many girls who dared to see this world with their eyes and one of the things that narayan does to u is give u courage to stand on ur own and break those invisible chains. Actually my published fiction seven vows is set in 90's. Though it's a romantic thriller it deals with fear and those invisible chains and how love breaks them.
