One drop of hatred in the cup of joy turns even the most blissful draught into venom.
A drop of poison on that gathering snow. That moment in the fairy tale when we know what just happened. Kuhu is exactly that toxin especially when it particularly comes to Mishti. She doesn’t own up to the truth:
· until she is caught in the act
· someone will rat her out. Ketki would have definitely said that she didn’t spoil the Jhaanki with the Chocomilk, so she confessed
· If someone else can be blamed for her wrong doing like Parul Maasi was blamed for the pill incident during Maha Shivratri
· Something bad happens to her and she is cornered like when Kunal insulted her she revealed the Email incident with Mishti and Abir overheard her.
In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. The person that Kuhu represents at this moment, is exactly that pain - the ghar and khushi tod person.
Marriage is like a well-built porch. If one of the posts lean too much, the porch collapses. So, each post must be strong enough to stand on its own.
Kuhu is leaning too much on Kunal and because that happens Kunal will break temporarily or permanently. The present scenario, is a true test of Kunal’s character now. Often, we can get so wrapped up in our misconceptions that we miss the simple beauty of the truth when it stares right at us in the face. At present for Kuhu fails to see the selfless Abir and the Rajvansh family she claims to love and protect unlike Mishti; her love and respect for Kunal too is under the microscope because of her self-obsessed personality.
When a nice person is pushed too far, he feels you have been given too many chances and then when that nice person shuts a door on you its shut for good. Abir did that when he found out about Kuhu’s transgressions but he gave her a chance again. Mishti, the forgiving person that she is has reprimanded her for her mistakes, a zillion times before, but the despicable person that Kuhu is she takes things, people and her importance for granted.
When a low life challenges God and demands justice, I wonder what will be meted out to that person. Elders say that Bhagwan ke ghar mein der hai andher nahin but it has been a terribly long wait for us as we wait for Kuhu to meet and deal with her Karma. Jasmeet is the fuel that keeps the Mishti hate fire going in Kuhu. Even when she saw the magazine her rage towards Mishti was personal.
Her dialog was ”Ismein tumhaari aur meri photo print honey ki jagah ISKI photo print ho gayi”. She can excuse anyone with reason, but not Mishti. When it comes to Mishti she is an ABSOLUTE MEGALOMANIAC. With others, at the Maheshwaris and Rajvanshes, she feels like a narcissist. They accept her power and superiority but with, Mishti she feels her power is under threat all the time.
A megalomaniac is a pathological egotist and Megalomania is a psychological disorder, with symptoms of delusional grandeur and obsession of power. In layman terms Kuhu, (but for Mishti derailing her “aura” unintentionally every now and then and sending her down to earth ) is absolutely convinced of her absolute power and greatness, in this case #kuhuness. She feels she deserves everything and that sense of entitlement is a curse for anyone’s personal growth.
Denying realism often leads to this disorder. “You’re the best there is Kuhu, no one can replace you” is what is melodious music to Kuhu’s ears and when that is challenged by Mishti she can even kill. “Oh, wait a minute…she has even tried that before, twice to our knowledge”
“Murder is the apex of megalomania the ultimate in control,” and Kuhu has been there, attempted that.
Kuhu has been constantly pampered and let off the hook by her parents, grandparents, even Mishti because she always felt like an outsider at the Maheshwaris except for BP and BM.
Varsha and Shaurya, as parents did not prepare Kuhu for the path that is life. Probably because she is adopted, they lay the path of extra love, extra splendor, roses and big comfort and have spoilt her in the process thoroughly, so much so she doesn’t know right from wrong and good from bad. She never learnt how to think.
“Children learn more from what you are and do than what you teach.”
At the Rajvanshes too, it has been mostly approval except for the severe rebuke by Meenu and by Abir when he felt Mishti was being threatened. The adoring looks of Parul Maasi and her unwavering support, Nidhi Maami’s chirpy “Kuhu teacher is the bestest” and Mishti now, openly adoring her has gone way into Kuhu’s head and she turns nastier. Its not like Mishti gave the magazine the picture to print (though I wonder who did it) but she berates Mishti, insults her and even challenges God, while everyone watches?
Petty Words fly up
Your dirty thoughts remain below
Petty Words without good thoughts,
never to heaven go, Kuhu. So good luck with demanding Justice from the Almighty!
For Mishti and Abir the struggle has always been real and at every step but for Kuhu the “struggle” has been about overthrowing Mishti and being the best.You can never build your joys on someone else’s happiness. A person may fail many times but he/she isn’t truly a failure until she resorts to blaming someone and Kuhu has been stuck there for a really long time.
When the power shifts, slandering Mishti and using her as her verbal punching bag, becomes Kuhu’s weapon to get back on track and get her foot in the door. This she sometimes does with Jasmeet’s shove or on her own. Kuhu may be creative, but she is weak, dishonest and insensible and that is a dangerous combination. Always think before you cross over to a bad side, you may have been weak to cross over,you may not be strong enough to cross back. She has now reached a point o fno return.
“I kept crying for a pair of shoes until I saw a man without legs.” Kuhu however, is blind to this wisdom because she has legs and shoes now but fails to realize that it could be taken away from her.
(DKP, Kuhu needs to learn and BETTER NOW for our own sanity and your ratings because this “hating Mishti” concept that the show seems to be centric on needs to take a hike. If her pushing Mishti off the dahi handi results in Mishti’s pregnancy issues it will be a perfect mental guilty hell for Kuhu to rot in but that would be wishing bad for Mishti and Abir and we would never want that so please let them have their baby at the right time without making us and them suffer).
We often do not know how good we have it until it’s all lost. Mishti always longs for the family love, acceptance that Kuhu has always possessed and fights for it extra hard. She had to fight for her relationship with Abir as with other things in her life. Even in Kuhu’s case, Mishti fought for her wedding to Kunal and also for her respect when Kunal disgraced her, she shared her mandap amongst other things and also her special day with Kuhu, has put up with all the pithy comments,threats, and ultimatums given by Kuhu, even Varsha and Jasmeet at different points which is why Mishti is way stronger and intelligent than Kuhu is.
Kuhu, they say those who seek revenge should dig two pits. The self-righteous scream judgments against others, to hide the noise of skeletons dancing in their own closets. I cannot stop myself from narrating the favorite Cherokee metaphor story that I tell my niece almost every day
“One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between
two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,lies,
false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute
and then asked his grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied,
"The one you feed.”
On a good lighter note:
Good sons make good fathers and vice versa but you are one step above Abir. You are a great son and will be a fabulous dad and with your parchaayi by your side you needn’t worry at all now, do you? Whichever little baby/babies that you will hold in future will be the luckiest because you know how to live and how to love.
Mishti and you Abir, will give your children not only roots but also wings. You will teach and show them to take that 1% chance and fly like you did one day together.
You rock and lead by example Abir Rajvansh so fret not and worry not. Let me go one step further and say
“IF YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR KIDS HAD A COLOR AJEEB RAJVANSH IT WOULD BE WHOLE BIG RAINBOW.”
