Well Hello frnds This is Piu …you've seen me trying to manage some posts and comments on this forum….but today after being encouraged by our wicked gang members…wanted to write something…though my entire life(well the adult life) revolved Around Human Anatomy,Physiology,Pathology,Gynae Obs,Paediatrics Surgery And So On(seems like scary nightmares)…..etc…Icertainly am a romantic by heart and simply adore Gulaal and it's interesting story.
So here I am giving my creative flair a chance and manage something nice…Hope you like it …even if you don't do let me know coz I will stick to my regular subjects(nightmares) and never give a second chance to character analysis.
To begin with the protagonist that is Gulaal…believe me I hated her so much for ignoring Kesar's pain and being so stubborn…..but forgot myMom's life which went through a not exactly same but similar ordeal….and when I discussed Gulaal's plight with her she….reminded me about her story…and what all she went through and also when I made her read all the Gulaal bashing posts she decided to share her story with this forum through me..so here's what happened
My mom's first husband died within a short span of3 months post marriage due to cancer…and when he died she was expecting me….My late dad had his best friend who was like a younger brother to him and had shared some great moments with my mom and late dad before he died…..After his sudden death my mom was left in a shock but carried on her responsibilities in her sasural much like Gulaal coz he was the only son to the family…but his best frnd stepped in and almost became like a son to the family supporting everyone and even my mom and finally I was born…meanwhile he fell in love with my mom and proposed to marry her and take up my responsibility..that's when my mom started resenting him…not bcoz he was like her devar …but becoz of the sheer fact that she was holding on to my dad's memories although it was only an arranged marriage and lasted only for three months…she made him suffer by not talking to him….the whole family wanted her to move on life but she culdn't…the more everyone tried to pursue her the more resistant she became….the more he tried to speak to her she created walls…this whole scenario continued till 1 year …she didn't agree willingly but my grand father suffered a heart attack and she was left with no option but to marry him….slowly and steadily…she grew fond of my Dad(Frnds I never call him my step dad coz he is the only father figure I have known )So here was a short story about my life and well everyone..my Dad is the proud father of me and my younger sister who is five yrs younger than me…And believe me when I say so that I am the apple of his eye and everyone in my family tells me that I am the one who is pampered by him the most…sometimes my lil sis complains that my dad only listens to my advice.The whole point in sharing this little story with you all is that there are certain questions that seem to be unanswered from Gulaal's point of view in this show
Why is she so heartless…why dosen't she understands Kesar…Is it becoz
1.Kesar is younger
2.he is devar
3.she didn't believe in this deeyarvattu
Well keeping these aspects cumulatively in mind the main reason which keeps her harsh ,cold is the idea of letting go Vasant's memories…If a simple marriage like my mom's could make her so attached to her late husband then imagine Gulaal's plight…she was so much in love with Vasant …she even was ready to leave her parents for him…then how can she just move on…Keeping in mind the account of a person who has experienced such tragedy Today I don't find it difficult to relate to Gulaal's stoical equanimity to the current scenario.
Another aspect to Gulaal's character is she has always been Vasant's Gulaal…remember How she says to Kesar that-"mujh par mere Vasant ke alawa kisi ka haq nai…"
It was like saying that she had devoted her entire life to Vasant…It is this devotion which makes her behave so…it is this love which makes her cold…it is this whole unrealistic situation(according to Gulaal's imagination) which makes her behave so….
Gulaal as we see her has been a girl with strong ethics and values…..Right now her whole world has fallen apart…her Vasant's dreams….her promise to Talli and sudha….everything has turned into a nightmare….She had fought with the vageries of adverse fortune…..with strong will power…but now she seems kind of unsure of what an ugly turn of events her life has taken….
So well she needs a lot of time…to cope…not only with the fact that life has to move on but also get out of this guilt trip of shattering the hopes of Talli and ruining Kesar's life before she can actually see Kesar's true and unconditional love for her.
With brightness in eyes and smile cheerful
Fragrance was born..all colours colourful
Sky blue,stars bright,flowers beautiful
Days were dreams and nights wonderful
Warmth was in blood warm were breaths
Souls in love filled with energy of youth
Heart was tender and life was smooth
I was in love and love was truth
But soon all turned fake
Now breaths were cald eyes became tear filled lake
Hearts shrinked,dreams shattered and life at stake
Smile is lostall I do is sit and moan
Even the salinity of the tears is gone
Here I am collecting the pieces of my heart
Why did I fall in love if we were destined to part
That's it for today…do let me know if I connected to you with what I wrote….will continue if you want me to.
Shalu and shrushti I wanted to the song of the week …do let me know if you wanna include that.
