The cactus symbolism was just awesome. I'm loving all the interpretations that are coming out of that one. I also liked the way Mohan says, "Cactus ko aadat hoti hai bina paani ke rehne ki". I liked the use of the word "aadat". Ok that song "aadat se majboor" is getting stuck in my head now. But...Mohan is totally a victim of habit I feel. Totally nonchalant and masttt. lol He can pretty much become accustomed to any situation too. Just like the cactus. As we saw with the lift scenes too. And the scene where he is pulling out all kinds of stuff from his pockets. He doesn't like to bother with much...even if he doesn't get his water...he's fine the way he is. Comfortable in his skin no matter what...but at the same time he's also very cynical and "thorny"...so that's where Megha comes in to bring a little patience, and blooming, and growth and colours into his life. Because that flowering does represent this growth too. And Mohan doesn't really seem to want to grow up. lol He seems fine the way he is. :P
And also very interesting is the use of the plant cactus itself. A plant that can be a loner in a sense. It can adapt to any situation and handle things on its own...and hence doesn't really need much support. At least so it seems on the outside. And for that reason the cactus has a defense mechanism of growing thorns to keep people away. And so interesting how Megha understands (on a metaphorical subconscious level of course) that the thorns are after all only a defense mechanism. And the cactus (Mohan) does, just like other plants (humans) needs that nurturing and watering just the same. Just HOW sweet is this idea really! The idea that Megha would want to be patient and slowly nurture and nourish Mohan's life!? It's the sweetest thing, really. The fact that she of all people understands this about Mohan...albeit subconsciously only...but still...I can't get over how heartwarming this idea is. :)
And Mohan too in his subtle protector mode. 😆 Totally awesome! Another interesting idea was the fact that he got Megha surrounded by a whole team. Including Karan and Dimpy. To me, this kind of indicates that these people will be trustworthy. I hope so, because I do kind of enjoy the dynamics between these guys.
