A BROKEN STRING OF PEARLS
"Faith is the silver thread upon which the pearls of the graces are to be hung. Break that, and you have broken the string — the pearls lie scattered on the ground." ~ Charles H. Spurgeon (Nineteenth Century English Preacher)
Today Dear Reader I want to tell you a story .. a story of a brother & his most beloved sister.. these are the couplets which they always recited to each other .. these couplets … which are the reality of their lives
The Brothers Version
Toffee se meethi hai
Imli se khatti HAI
Khatti meethi hai teri kahani
Anjali di hai sabse sayani
The Sisters version
Papad ka Tukda hai
Jab dekho Ukhada hai
Deta hai apni Di ko Aasoon mote mote ..
Who hai mera .. mera CHotte
This is a story of a brother & sister .. a brother & sister who were abandoned .. a brother & sister .. who clung to each other for emotional support .. a brother & sister who fought & made a life for themselves . a brother & sister who promised to be there for each other through thick & thin …
Then came the "significant other" in their lives ..
The Sisters Husband: The Sister got her Dream on a platter served by her brother ..
The sister got a husband who created a perfect illusion for her .. a husband whose very voice was the sweetest syrup which would sweeten her heart & palate .. a husband who never stepped out of line .. a husband who showered her love bought by her brother … a husband who served her savouries bought by the brother …. A husband who never gave a single thing to the wife not bought by the brother …… a husband who only maintained an illusion of a husband … because in his MIND & HEART …. She was not a WIFE .. but a MEAL TICKET …
Then a significant other was forced into the life of the brother ..
The Brothers Wife: The brother once again to maintain his sisters Dream married a woman who was the reason his sisters illusion could be over
The Brother's wife .. was hurtled into marriage … she never had a day of happiness with the man .. she dint ever get a sweet word from the man… she never took anything from the man .. she bore his hatred with a smile on her face .. she bore his anger with a smile on her face .. she bore his rants with a smile on her face … because in her HEART & MIND … she was his WIFE ..he was her HUSBAND ….. & he was her LOVE
Then came the BIG BANG the illusion broke .. for both the brother & sister …
The sister was rudely jolted out of her illusion to which she is desparately clinging …. A sister who wants to live in the past .. a sister who clings to her past … A sister .. WHO WANTS HER PAST
The brother was clobbered on his head & his illusion was smashed … an illusion which when broke .. brought him to his knees .. an illusion when shattered .. took along his arrogance & his Hate .. a brother who will now do anything to change his past .. a brother who will do anything to right his past mistakes .. a brother WHO WILL DO ANYTHING TO NOT GO INTO THE PAST …
_____________________________________________
The episode today for the first time brought me to my knees .. with the depth of emotion & the depth of the floundering human relations that were shown in it …
A sister who was in a complete state of shambles .. a sister who was so severely in depression that she could only think of ending the LIFE ..which was just beginning to take LIFE in her …
Anjali as shown in the serial today is a woman suffering from chronic depression .. Depression which gets highlighted by the sway of hormones related to pregnancy.. in such cases it is rampantly seen that the person suffering will try to end their life or in this case the life growing inside her but this person is also looking desperately for someone to come & save them.
Anjali ManoharJha .. is that chronic depressive patient .. a woman in FIRM denial .. a woman who has blanked her mind to all thoughts .. but the fact that her life is now surrounded by misery …
Let me try explaining this to you …
What has Anjali been reminiscing about constantly post Shyam's ouster ?? … Anjali has been constantly seeing Arnav Slapping Shyam ( INSULT 1) … Arnav .. rudely dragging Shyam by the collar ( INSULT 2) … Arnav throwing Shyam out of the HOUSE (INSULT 3) ..
Now note what she tells Arnav when he comes to save her … I want to end the life of the KID … the KID .. What do I tell him … your Father was a BAD MAN … Nobody RESPECTS your father .. Nobody TRUSTS your father …
For Anjali the days are in a Freeze mode .. the only thing right now playing in her mind is that Shyam has been insulted & thrown out of the house …all her insecurities have come back to Bite her ….
All of what Anjali did yesterday.. by not paying the AUTO driver .. by GOING to her OWN DOCTOR .. was a SICK woman's CRY for HELP …
A lot of you felt that Anjali ignored Khushi … my Ques is did she ? … today she shrugged off Nani's hand too ..
NO Anjali had registered Khushi's role in her shattered life but today she is Frozen … her mind is a BLANK .. hence when Khushi came to her room .. she dint throw her out .. she heard her out .. Look at her today she rejected Nani as well .
At a time like this .. the person suffering will only want the person WHO CAN MAKE THE CHANGE HAPPEN AROUND THEM .. in Short their ANCHOR ,.. so today yet again you saw Anjali cling to her CHOTTE … the CHOTTE who loves his Di .. the CHOTTE who indulges his Di .. the CHOTTE who will go to any lengths to right the wrong in his Di's life ….
Now will require some attention to this next point .. as it could explain Anjali to a lot of you ….( her plans to Abort her child)
Now look at her CRY for help …
Anjali tells Arnav … Give me back my KHUSHIYAN … She says I want things to go BACK TO WHAT WE WERE …. She says .. I want to BE HAPPY .. I DON'T WANT EVERYONE GLUM around me .. ( all signs of chronic depression patient) ….
Now connect this to Anjali wanting to kill her CHILD … ( the only trigger that Khushi gave was the word Child) … Now Anjali wants to GO TO A TIME when things were RIGHT IN HER WORLD … hence she goes to the doctor & says …. I DON'T WANT THE CHILD … today in her mind she wants to rewind & restart the movie of her LIFE … to a time when she had no WORRIES .. a time before she became a MOM ( Akash's wedding)
Now for the Brother …
Arnav Singh Raizada .. a man brash enough to make the quickest decisions .. a man who has ONE HELL OF A TEMPER .. & A SHORT FUSE ….
Arnav Singh Raizada .. a man who has shouldered the responsibility of his whole family …. A man whose sole purpose for existence in life was to make HIS Di's LIFE perfect … A man who vowed … I will always give up my KHUSHI FOR URs ….
Today Aranv Singh Raizada is caught in the worst cross roads of his life ….
----- HE cannot take his SISTER back into the past ----
----He cannot Give his sister her happiness ----
-----He cannot right the wrong -----
----He cannot Give his sister what she desires -----
----He cannot save his sisters marriage----
Basically a MAN .. who lost today ….(probably for the first time in a lot of years)
NOW for a man Like Arnav Singh Raizada .. whose adage in life was … "BAHUT BADI EGO HAI MERI .. THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME ASR"
OR .. "MERA NAAM ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA HAI .. MEIN SAB KUCH KAR SAKTA HOON"
Today these words are haunting him … today he is blaming himself .. simply because he is UNABLE ….to RIGHT THE WRONG on HIS SISTER 's FUTURE … nor is he ABLE TO RIGHT THE WRONG in his WIFE's PAST … The dichotomy of the LIFE OF ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA"
The Man Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada simply cannot wrong the RIGHT in his SISTERS life because of a tiny packet of sunshine in his life .. called KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA … IF he rights the wrong … that is turns a blind eye to Shyam … he is insulting the love of his life ..
At this juncture .. when he hears today his wife could've been the reason for his sister tumbling further into GRIEF …. A Wife … because of whom he is not straightening his Sisters life … what can he wish for … he can only wish for ultimate punishment for himself ….
I WISH I DID NOT MEET U …
Meaning … I wish I did not love you so much … I wish I had not ruined your life .. to such an extent that I cant ruin it any more to right my sisters life …
In SHORT … I WISH U DID NOT MAKE ME REALIZE I HAVE A HEART WHICH BEATS .. WHICH BEATS FOR U….
Guys this is ASR … a man who always reacts like this when he is cornered .. when he is helpless .. earlier he would vent on his Di .. but today Di .. being out of commission .. Khushi faces the BRUNT of the frustration …
As a viewer today … I was simply stunned with the plethora of human relations on display & play in the episode today …
The sister in me cried today when Anjali was in the arms of her brother asking him to HELP HER
The Wife in me cried today when I saw a Khushi being battered
But the WOMAN in me .. the MOTHER in me CRIED for the MAN .. ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA.
