Shilpa I am close to tears here..Both the bajpayee brothers' dilemma is so tangible in your post..I don't know how you do it but you can evoke a wide array of emotions from your readers..You have a talent for sure..👏
I was so distraught seeing Anant all dejected for one day, wonder how I will endure his crest fallen state in the coming episodes once his lady love goes away from him..😭
Beautiful post as always..🤗

Shilpa,

after today's article I was wondering - how come distress starts so soon & stays so long?!

Smiles aate hain, unko thik se savor bhi nahin kiye ki distress pops up ... everytime, Anant+Navya were having time of their life, same day some problems occur - be it baba's call at picnic, bhabhi's antics at terrace, Meeta's suspicion after birthday surprise ... why ?

Why can't they cherish the beautiful moments without pinch of bitterness at the end?

I completely concur with ur thots...yes...its not noble to put up with such abuse...neither is it right to be as passive as him...but as much as I agree with u...I have to say that I can understand mohan's stance...

FIrst of all...he is the elder of the 2 siblings...which automatically loads him with a certain responsibility...secondly...being the first child...he is the same shoes as Renu where the parents themselves were not sure where to draw lines of strictness n liniency ...n thus prolly imposed more restrictions on him than on Anant n thats the environment he was born n brought up in...

Thirdly his time n era was slightly diff than Anant's and it was harder for him to rebel or voice out his opinions or concern esp when things were more on conservative side those days...n obviously he was given as much freedom as Anant that he cud go out n see or expose himself to a life where he cud learn that life has many more shades that just black n white...

Also...its not till now has he begun to realize how much an evil his wife is n how low her standards of thots are...coz till now...she has only been playing sweet sugar infront of everyone...

But yes...its good that finally he is becoming more upfront about things...N all i can say is mohan has a high tolerance limit that he still is giving her chances n letting her go by...but there is limits to everything n m sure...once Rama passes that limit...Mohan will not take it no more...esp now after gaining a lill bit of confidence after seeing Anant's confidence...😳

Thanks for the lovely reply hun...n yes...those poems were written by me 😳

Thanks a lot for the reply Shilpa and thanks for taking the time and effort to explain ur viewpoint 😊...I agree with you...Are you an elder sibling and belong to an older generation?...I do, and so I completely empathise with Mohan and understand your defence of him...I would have done the same too except I've realised that I cant allow circumstances/parents etc to take credit/discredit for the choices I made/did not make...there may be 1000s of reasons... understandable, but ultimately everyone has to take responsibilty for where their life is at...

BTW, did I tell u I love the "crossing the road" scene which appears with ur display name?...i like watching it again and again...it brings back so many memories😊

btw...I love the street crossing scene...it was the most significant ...n subtle scene that not only deeply touched me but also summarized the story of AnYa in short

"Mohabbat ke ehsaas se waakif huwe ab hum'

Samaj mein aya iss meethe se dard mein chupe he kitne gum..

Heraan he phir bhi yeh soch ke aankhen kyu nahi he num'

Aasoon bahane chale the'.muskuraa ke laut aaye hum"

Translation:

The feeling of love is what I have gotten fully acquainted with today..

Its now that I understood the sorrows behind this beautifully sweet pain..

It dazzles me to realize that despite the pain my eyes have still not given up'

For I thot they wud have shed tears''instead they brought a smile to my face!!!

Mohan and.Anant' ''..2 individuals today who stood at cross roads of their lives with a heart shattering in silence and yet having a curve of the lips on their face''It feels u up with distraught to see this curve'.this smile'..It was a Smile In Distress'A smile that "Love" in different forms had spelled on them'While one (Mohan) is yearning for love yet realizes the power of love'..the other (Anant) is breathing in love and experiencing the power of love!!

I quote:

"Behind my smile is a hurting heart'.Strongly I stand '.but inside I am falling apart'..Love you are strange'.for despite the pain'I am still following you around"

Mohan:

"Jab ek ladka aur ek ladki ek doosre ke liye sahi nahi hote'..toh koi adjustment nahi hota'.usse sirf rishta nibhaana kehta he'.shaadi nahi"

A sentence that was filled with so much pain'angst'.agitation'. Mohan in those few lines spoke the kind of life he has been living since the day he got married to a person whom his heart did not choose and yet he persevered due to a sense of responsibility towards his family'towards his wife'and towards himself!!! But this responsibility unfortunately came at a cost of love draped in fear to stand against those who meant a lot to him'.his parents'.Mohan was never able to garner the courage to face up his overly strict parents and stand for what he believed in'..for the kind of life he perceived'.But has anyone ever thot why?? Fear u may say but then'What was that one fear that kept him at the bay despite his urge to dive into the ocean??? It was the fear of losing his parents'..parents who maybe strict'..stern'.over protective'..but the fact still remains'they are his parents'.and he loves them for who they are'.however they are'and for them'.he sacrificed his life with a person who till date he is striving to sustain his relation'his wife!! The love for his parents had so much strength that he gambled on his heart and gave it every possible chance to blossom with love'but the heart has a mind of its own and sadly thru'.Mohan's heart cud never beat for his wife'.be it coz his wife never was able to hit the right chord'.or coz he never allowed her to touch those strings'.or simply coz they were just not rhythmic together'.Either which way'Love for Mohan always remained in a glass globe that he watched from a far and softly smiled away!!!!! 😳😳😳

Anant:

"Sab theek hojayega"

With a heavy heart'.and a burdened voice'..Anant stood thru his promise of "togetherness" to Navya yet again'..Just the thot of staying away from Navya breaks the flow of blood in his veins and yet today'..when that same Navya announced the demand of distance by her mom'..he stood there physically strong'..but emotionally shattering to pieces''Love has empowered Anant to an extent that he has the strength to let go Navya '..for her'.No it was not easy'.it wasn't just a turn around and walk away for him''It was separation of his soul from his body''it was a separation of the pulses from his heart beats '.it was a separation of him from himself and it was throttling him from his inner most core!! But when has love ever proclaimed itself to be on bed of roses??? Sometimes'.they come in thorns as well'..and today'.that thorn had to prick Anant'What was so beautiful to see was the inner strength that he has earned'..the maturity that he has gained'that despite heading towards the cliff of death'.towards the darkness of infinity'..he stood smiling '..dying a thousand deaths yet spreading positivity with the only weapon he was left with'..with the only eternal flame that love had brewed in him '.."Hope"!!!!!!😳😳😳

Rab Raakha...

Shilpa 🤗
