Pride is the most valuable wealth of a human being, be it a man or woman.. I have no reservations.... that is quality of Bani that she stood with her head up in front of Waliawalas...
A man who is larger than Life, a man who is almost a modern day King, a man with a family ,with a status, with recognition and a man with hatred and anger seething in his Heart, all for her!
a man who is larger than life... yeah... isn't it that was the real problem... did he ever be able to see himself what is happening around... if it is God then He stays up... if a man bigger than a life... he cornered himslef into the King's seat...
Not only was she suddenly plunged into an alien world, she was bound in matrimony to a man who did not love her, who did not care for her and most sadly, did not want her!
the biggest truth ever told she was an unwanted person... that makes the difference between she and pia... she bron from ashes... did you hear that "which born from fire will never become weak in sun hot" i think the baby's death she had the fire in her... a mother, is another world... herself... i didn't surprise she in shock after the abortion...
the thought of seeing Jai with another woman that had not crossed her mind, made her seeth in an emotion to which she had been unaware till now!
Hidden love... unconsciously fell in love with a man... by practice of living long in the darkness will slowly make the darkness light to us" being together even though in such circumstances closed the gap between them without their own awareness... love need no particular reason to be existed.. it exists where it should exists...
It is not wonder that Jai, who has always been surprisingly intuitive about Love, was able to guess what his young wife was going through, but was always in two minds because of the conflicting that was going on in Bani's Life, what his Heart could see his Eyes could not see and hence, inspite of the confidence in his Heart, Jai was always in doubt of 'How' much Bani feels for him, never on 'What' she feels for him!
I don't think their eyes for that matter their heart failed to see each others love... but the situations from both sides were too prominent... bani thought he could never love her since his love was Pia... it was about love and was genuine for that to be counted... from his side... he thought my love for her should not apoil a good future which suits her more... she will be happy with someone more young and suitable to her... then offcourse guilt from PR... but can anyone stop love which occured volunteerily in its due place in the due time... no, that is the answer
Bani on the other hand, inspite of being so mature, responsible and sensitive could never fathom what Jai felt for her! She knew he liked her, she knew he was affectionate and protective towards her, she knew he respected, admired and cherished her as a Wife, but she could never guess what he felt for her as a Woman. Whether he shared the same intensity of Emotions that she had for Jai, whether he felt the same wave of unstoppable Love that she felt for him, whether she took his breath away the way he always did!
the jai walia we saw at first was actually living a life in a curse like in a concentration camp... none knew it untill a roshini bumped into the scene.. the first bit of hope he got by Pia's cat walking into his life... but it did shake him well but unfortunately did the opposite effect... then came bani like an angel... it really saved him out of the self torturing... even at the end permanantly saved from his own guilt... surely they had the same effect on each other.. they couldn't hide it from each other in fact... but words were not formed on the basis of it... heart saw it but then didn't dare to confess to each other... love always hesitate to surface in one's life... rather it always being enjoyed hidden ... the pain of not able to be with is always associated with love... then it is more sweet than the real revealation itself..
a man who called their relationship the coming together of two Souls, could only be so, because he Loved her!
two souls... that is why they couldn't go away... it was out of their own control... between two souls doubt rarely exists but only love..
Now that, Bani knows that Jai has loved her and loved her with all his Heart and Soul, what is to stop her from expressing what she feels? Why should she suppress what has been in her Heart and Mind for the last so many months? Why should she let go of what they can share for what they have lost? When travelling the path of life, and finding love along the way, everything looks new and different. Little do you know it is the same old landscape you used to see all of the time; Love has just given you new eyes.
the eyes are not at all new... she didn't dare or was not ready to accept what eyes saw before... or she was forced to ignore it. love has given a new perspective... it belongs to her now... she feels... she deserve to enjoy it.. she feels again... never want to ignore it.. she decided too
Do you like the new bold, confident and expressive new Bani or did you like the quiet, reticient and introverted old Bani?
i don't think bani's basic character will change totally than the obvious change in her approach to Jai with more confidence (gosh he is already fully covered in honey..😳) but she will be brave... will be stern and straight... won't give anything more than due to those around for sure... (give somethig long due to jiggy and pia once in a while) that change is more applauded by me than a mere liking.
Do you think the Bani we are seeing now is the Real Woman who had been hidden behind years of lonliness and serenity? Or do you think that the new Bani is a just a product of temporary emotions and that she will revert back to her old-self when the first flush of love desends down?
it is wrong to think it was a first flush of love after all... there was not certain beginning ... for this love... she becomes like this after going through so much and after seeing so much in both of them... the realisation..
(BTW- i remember the list u gave once yaar, MT...
A Marriage
An Engagement
An Elopment
A realization
An Acknowledgement
A Final confession
As long as ks is going i don't where to fit these but there is something in it... what is the realization, what is the acknowledgement.... and still confession is baki😕 right?)
How do you think Jai is perceiving his Wife now as compared to what he had seen of her till now? Is Jai put off by Bani's openness or is he just pleasantly surprised by her?
he is getting used to with the active marriage....😉 not a dummy one... food for soul.. love to live.. smile to sleep... and necessary is being together.. don't waste a minute bani and offcourse beware of so many sray dogs around walia mansion... bani knows what is marriage looks like... she can bring it to him.. she can make it feel he is married... he can have a family his own... he is no more in a concentration camp of a curse.. after all he won't feel any more old... it may surprise him... take him to a rollercoaster of emotions... but ultimately he will be a complete man with that chirping bird around him waking him up every time he go weak... i am sure if destiny the ks creatives have something for them left...
If Jai and Pia had not had the ONS (Which itself is pretty doubtful!) would Jai's behaviour towards Bani's new self have been any different from what it is now?
he always knew there is reasons behind her... so if the ONS were not there he could have enjoyed it in its fullest... may be at first he may be the old roaring iron.. but he had the heart to see that she came all the way fasting to break it with him... he was the one who never felt someone cared for him, other than bani.. isn't it a honor for him to know that...
Jai fell for Pia because she was just his opposite, vivacious, frank and expressive about her feelings. Bani in a way is very similar to Jai, but now that that she is all that Pia was once upon a time, do you think that aspect will make Jai hesitant or will it attract him more towards Bani?
i don't think that is a comparison at all... her change is a pleasant one but not like Pia a thoughtless act... bani's plus point is she can think and see the hidden things.. the changes are way too surprising for Jai but it will be giving more lightness to his heart... (do u thnk he can take his eyes from that two diamonds glaring from her face.. LOL😉) I can just see his blushing though many a time in a day😉
Inspite of Bani always being in Love with Jai, did you ever find Bani to be cold and unresponsive or do you think she is overdoing it now and it behaving out of character with Jai?
(arrey, yeh tun kyom poocha? yeah wow creatives ka problem hai😡) i feel it awkward at times i don't deny it. she was reasonable to jai... she knew what he likes and what didn't like.. she tried to do thing in line with his likes. now the marriage is official... real... it is active to... now she is actively doing the duty of a wife rather than a formal service from a wife-employee... after all why she should she blush and keep her eyes down to give a cup of water to wash his face in the bathroom😆 isn't it a big saving for us....😳 (big loss too)
If you were in Bani's shoes, would your behaviour be consummate with Bani or would it be any different? Do you think Being in Love is a Subjective emotion and every woman reacts differently to it or do you think that Love as much makes everyone behave and react in a more or less same manner?
one woman's success is to bring out a rhythm in the marriage... it may take time... men are most likely difficult at time... their ego is too much to begin with... then the only medicine for ego is patience and smile.. i think it is not so difficult to bring a man to tie you dori with your behavings... be truthful to you in commitment providing the human rights😉 are preserved...satisfactorily... love will not be in the same manner for everyone... the way it express is different.. when a man hide his worry behind a shouting a woman hide her worry behind sollen face... but being used to be with each other tht is the way it is... a man like jai is better be with bani than that over exposed pia or roshini... i still remember a seen where Bani in a light orange saree and jai in talk with someone locked with eyes that she had to turn her away her face and walk from there... that guy is not ready to even blink his eyes... yeah... he likes to talk with eyes... and she is equally capable of interpreting that handicapped(😳😆) language of communication. it is different being in different relationships...
Loads of Love (I have killed this word by using it so many times in my post)
MT
PS: On a personal note, I remember behaving like a total goof-ball in Love! Its embarssing to even think of it now!😆 dont ever try to say it and insult urself... (ohhh OMG what will be that banker's condition then? 😆 )
