First Bindi...
The death of the two characters who had become so close to us is going to to leave a void in the show. Bindi And Varun are such remarkable contrast to the two main characters. They were also like the whiffs of fresh air, innocence...they brought about a certain lightening, a happiness in an otherwise, stark atmosphere in the show... Probably that is why they are the first ones to go in a dark love story...because in their very essence they oppose darkness.
Amongst the young women in the show, bindi had an interesting place. Filling in Paro's silence, an innocent chirpy girl which probably Paro is at the bottom of her heart, behind the veil of shyness. She is Paro's best friend- knows her heart, is as excited as Paro about her wedding, brings Paro to meet Varun...even vocalizes the girls' ( hers as much as Paro's) fascination with the dashing BDS officer after he has saved her.
Her killing is probably the death of childhood. Interestingly in the same episode, Paro shows her willingness to grow up...when she asks Laila about the third kind of men...Laila's lessons in womanhood (right or wrong, who can say?) which Paro might need when she enters a world devoid of innocence, a world full of violence and hatred.
The young women who remain are Paro, who has already embarked on the journey to woman hood and would soon have to grow up (till now she seems to have already endorsed to 'womanly' virtue of silence, and a very cynical Laila, who has chosen to be outside the mainstream society. I am going to miss Bindi, her cheerful girlish chatter which silenced as our heroine has to grow up...
She is like the loss of girlhood...
