Jyo, this is an excellent analysis. I loved your symbolism of the boundary and the ball. Extremely well done. Also, to continue on that note, since it is Akash who skirts the proverbial boundary, and will be the one who pushes Yash and his family out of SM and/or out of the lives of the Scindhias. Ishy will be instrumental as a cheerleader, setting the stage and leading Akash on. Already she has come to know of his insecurities and is playing upon them, and it will just be a matter of time, when they start to work more and more in tandem.
On another note, I am really intrigued as to why CVs allowed for Radha to be in the same house? Other than to heighten tensions and bring things to a boil plot-wise, what purpose does this serve? Do you think that there is some other purpose of having Radha occupy SM that is yet to be revealed?
I hope you get this, as I am not posting this in DC. Prayers for a wonderful day. Om shantih.
