Ofcourse, those similarities in nature already exist between Babita and his mother.....that toh is long established in the story....but today, I saw a physical resemblance in terms of eyes....something in his mother's eyes reminded me of Babita's eyes.....and it clicked somewhere more why he's drawn to Babita....she reminds him of his mother in more ways beyond just the suffering they both faced.
Naeem Bi's dialogue today also drew that direct connection of how much Babita reminds him of his mom.....so I guess the writers will explore that in more detail in the coming days. What he lost with his mother, Babita will bring back for him....that vulnerable, traumatized child has to be healed by Babita only.....Mini is the conduit who opens the doors and sets the stage....but the ultimate step always has to be taken by Babita.
True that .. with NBsaying it out loud, it became very obvious .. I have yet to revisit the scene .. I will once my janata has gone to sleep .. And I am lookign forward to his healing process .. and for that the two really need to communicate not with Minnie as the link ..
Ismein convince hone ki baat kahaan hai? LOL he took a vow....but he is a human being....and life is never perfect....so obviously there will be setbacks from time to time...I'm not holding him to some aar ya paar standard ki you dare not ever let there be tears.....to me, what was touching was the intent of the vow.....woh sabse zaroori hota hai....baaki toh headwinds are inevitable from time to time.....but the tree will weather all storms as long as the roots are deep....and the roots here are already deep....will continue to grow deeper with each new phase.
Arey no that's not what I meant/implied .. The strength/intention with which he took the vow made me feel he will have to go through hell to keep that vow .. When one goes through some pain/trauma, they pledge to not let their dear ones suffer from the same pain/trauma but then our pledge weakens and the dear ones suffer .. albeit less .. because now we've learnt to mitigate that suffering/pain .. Thats what he will encounter too ..
Beautifully put!
I especially liked your read of the Footprint scene....yes, Mini and Babita are giving him back the two most precious women in his life, albeit in different forms....but whatever pieces he'd lost of himself in losing those two women are slowly coming back to him.
And yes, the sense of reverence was definitely there as he entered the room barefoot....Mini sanctified the room with innocence and pure love....and it became a place to bring new light and memories into.....
it's become like a shrine of their respective mother's .. a place where now HS will rever Babita the way he wanted to his mother ..
