After many days, some tiny progress on the Radha front today...perhaps the writers got tired of the perpetual wide eyed, scared, confused look they have going for her since a month now...small mercies.
After many days, her brain worked a bit to inch beyond just being paranoid about Krishna coveting Barsana to now reaching the conclusion that he covets herđ
I liked their interaction today cuz for once it had some back and forth beyond Radha just watching his "maya" in awe or suspicion. And I liked the fact that Krishna was kinda trolling the fact that her brain woke up a bit after many days toođ...the way he was like, "oh cool, your brain's working a bit now, you're asking the right questions finally...try a bit harder and you'll be able to figure out what I really want"đ
Krishna wants Radha to overcome her fear, he eggs her on time and again...and she made some progress in not being scared of his "maya" anymore, barely blinking when she sees him floating near the ceiling of her roomđ...but the moment she pieced together the clues in her mind that Krishna actually wants HER, not Barsana, she stepped back in fear again.
And so yet again, Krishna amped up the Mayavi act to scare her further...the more she gets scared, the more he pushes her buttons almost like he wants to scare the fear out of herđđ...there's some serious reverse psychology he's trying here...and it only works in bits and pieces...also very slooowlyđ. The larger picture seems to be that he wants her to look beyond all illusions...the fear clouds her mind and creates illusions...so Krishna continues to present her with more illusions...testing her ability to break through all those illusions and win over her fear.
Once again, Radha doesn't trust the intelligence of her own mind...the moment fear clouds her mind, she forgets that just moments ago, she had concluded that he couldn't just be coveting Barsana when he's so powerful and can do whatever he wants...but the moment Krishna told her that he wants her only, she was willing to believe his tale about her just being a stepping stone to him wanting Barsana againđ...I don't know if this is deliberate or just a drag tactic from the writers...but it was progress from the previous stalemate so I'll take it for nowđ
Krishna now seems to have moved into the next level of challenging Radha that he will win her...again, he's using fear as an instrument to challenge her out of own fears...cuz their story isn't really about "acquisition"...but he uses such words like "paana" and all cuz that is precisely how Radha thinks...and he needs to remove that cloud from her soch first.
