This is an attempt to explain my state of mind at the time of writing the posts to those who have spent their valuable time reading my posts and then had encouraged me immensely. May be uncalled for but I wanted to give vent to some of my misgivings as my last post has left me uneasy with its final outcome.

On several occasions I got entrapped in wasting the time with some serial because of initial sensible treatments and some novelty in plots. But almost in all such involvements I was to get quickly put off by the scripter as he starts his run of the mill track with invariably foolish twists full of male chauvinism. The debasement of woman lead would immediately put me off but I would secretly thank them for curing me of them.

My liking for Pavitra Rishta had endured longer [and still it is /don't know how long]but with the presence of ever lurking BT fear..she is there...she is there... . I started posting my pick on daily soap. Then the promised rot [instead union] set in. I found it uninteresting to post about daily soap[exc. 'clever Twist'-some hope stirring].By then some beautiful imprints were made by the leads. I wanted to write on them and three articles came out automatically. I enjoyed writing this trio -interplay of three important aspects of the Story 'God [Bappa's Musings]: Man ['those beautiful eyes] and Woman [Vahini].This was my effort to give shape to those vivid impressions

The second one [hurt and anger of a man] was roughly sketched before the first post [at the time fire swearing by Manav was telecast] and easiest to write. But I enjoyed most writing the first [kind playfulness of God].

The third was the hardest and it is falling short somewhere. Most glaring inadequacy is the way Archana has come out in this portrayal. She is definitely not what I thought of her. Here she is full of self blame [against imagined serene and wholesome mind] and some what foolish [against my gathering of her common sense] for her first resolve of accepting the divorce which she does not believe in. Also little weak [against the impression of her inner strength]. I think I can never give her full justice as I am depicting her from the angle of opposite sex.

Only explanation coming to mind is this. I wanted to write from only that material which was actually enacted by the lead and was telecast . Elasticity of writing would be strictly restrained in such case. And both lead charecters are widely distorted from their original portrayals.Still this is leaving me not so happy.

I again thank all those who have contributed - directly or indirectly [with their insightful analysis elsewhere].

I don't know about others samarth, but I really liked 'vahini'. It gave us an insight into what archana is thinking and why she still respects manav so much.
Pl. continue with your posts. For me they are literary delights.

Thanks for your continued support. Burt when I say shortcomings-It is not language but theme. May be some choices of words were ok and may be last part was echoing well the second post's end but 'Archana' as an over all theme of the article was not satisfactory .I have more respectful impression which has not come out.

samarth I too get put off when the debasement of woman and subtle or blatant chauvinism sets in .

However the best part of this serial is grey characters . See Savita's depiction today , how grey she is . The scriptwriters have their moments of creativity too and compared to the other rot nowdays on TV this serial really is worth seeing .

Whatever u write , u write well . Even today whatever u wrote , I read every word with attention . Your articles should be collected .

I am collecting them ........copies , filed in my personal collection file in which I take a dip when I am all alone . It has sayings , idioms , articles , emails , letters , stories.......anything and everything that deeply affected me . Your diction and thoughts are worth keeping .

@koolsadhoo

You did encourage me to continue writing here. My first two posts here were about Shravni - just thought of putting my guessing once or twice and then go away. But your analysis caught me and posting continued .It is honour that you like my writing. Thanks again.

I have one more gratitude to be owned. Recently I have been fortunate enough to read your dialogues with Misti from CB. Her writing style caught my attention and I checked few of her posts. What a rich writer. I am thankful to you.

@ koolsadhoo

I have already been enthralled by 'Misti' poetry. Can she not be invited here? Or is it too late to kindle her interest in this plot?

I want one more advice from you. May I PM?
