New Arjun OS: A ray of hope.. 3/12 - Page 5

hi avani di🤗...

Thank you, my dear Avantika, for making the dismal goings on onscreen a bit more tolerable for me. You have given me this infinitely more palatable and logical screenplay with which I can replace, in my mind, the disaster of this last weekend.

Your scenario is not merely plausible but it is completely coherent. One does not have to stretch the imagination to near breaking point to fit it in.

It is also highly emotional without becoming maudlin, which is always something of a high wire act, but you have pulled it off beautifully.The group hugging scene reminded me of the recent one where that poor girl is buried alive and Arjun tries to duplicate it and see how long he can last underground with no air. So I could effectively "see" what you have written.

It is always much more difficult to receive than to give, and the burden of gratitude is often a crushing one. Here, Arjun is stuck with a gargantuan load of gratitude for a collective sacrifice of 4 careers, so that his could be saved. And he is a proud, reticent man who has never taken favours. No wonder he rages futilely and demands that all this be shelved.

But at the same time, this greatest of all proofs that he is cared for to such an extent, indeed loved so warmly and selflessly, and by so many, must have been balm to his bruised soul. He knows that he belongs once more to a larger, close-knit, caring entity, his team,and that must have changed him inside in ways he himself perhaps cannot gauge at first.

The year later segment is perfect. Full of both fulfillment and hope, a heady brew!

There could not be a sharper contrast with the way in which the serial is being mauled beyond all recognition. Yesterday's episode was perhaps the worst so far in terms of both the plot and the screenplay. I have never seen such arrant nonsense as the Minister-as-organ-trafficker track - a politician can make much,much more money thru patronage, and does not need to dabble in such a very dirty and very risky business. Frightful. And the future, with that Karan, does not look at all promising. Rathore was very much better,even if he was made to play second fiddle to Arjun all the time. They had such a good thing going, and still they have managed to muck it all up so comprehensively. That too takes some talent, I guess!😉
