The Butterfly !! - Page 3

This was the shortest and surest way to Rudra's heart. Rudra in his life, has only been witnessing selfish women, be it his mother who abandoned him or his masi, least said the better. Now he sees a girl who is strong and selfless, who is beautiful not just on the outside, but inside too. For men like Rudra, and why him for every man, respect comes first before love. You can't love a woman you can't respect. And Paro's actions today earned her some mega brownie points from Rudra. He is going to be furious, give her a hard time, but the fact remains, she has earned his respect some more.

You are absolutely correct!!...Though he has been burnt too many times to fall for her sincerity so soon...but She is definitely chipping away at those stones walls that surround his ever so vulnerable heart...😊

Hi Evelin..
I am totally in awe of your writing. Simply superb! I am absolutey smitten by your art in writing and speaking your mind. I couldn't have written this character analysis on Paro as well as you! But you simply took the words right out of my mouth.

I totally agree and love how the cvs are developing Paro's character. She is strong, and silent. Firm and fearless. She cannot see the weak be taken advantage over, which is why I think she so desperately fighting against Rudra. No doubt, she feels trapped, and sees Rudra trying to weaken her my bringing in her relations, but she slaps it back on his face. But she doesn't run from it, instead she fires back. She doesn't let him get the satisfaction that he's breaking her.

Thank you for such a beautiful read! Loved it!

Great one Eve...you know how I feel about women standing up for themselves in any and every situation...the forum is criticizing her and I can understand their predicament...she is a captive herself...she has no rights whatsoever to speak or act in favor of Maithili in any given situation but we have to remember that although Paro is docile and timid she is a fighter and a survivor. She was adopted and that is a very sensitive topic to her. An orphan knows the pain and she reacted to that...that was a natural instinct. For ailment she was defending a woman who resembles to her as her mamisa but be rest assured Rudra will let her know her identity very cruelly on Monday...I saw the video. What surprises me that she still goes to tend his wound...now,I definitely don't want to see her doing that...I don't want her to soften to the man who has destroyed her.

Thank you Eveline for such a lovely post on Paro baisa. You promised to write something when a clearer picture emerged and today you did. 😃

Yes, the butterfly has emerged and how, she makes an impact not with loud voice, aggresion or taunts but with what she says, her deeds and what she stands for.

I know I promised you...and I was looking for an opportunity (bach gaye shoe maker banne se...phew 😆)!!

Its a fine psychological point. It's not that she has suddenly developed a back bone, or her courage is new found. If we look at the graph, any other girl in her place, would have given in, but as you point out, she is a fighter, a survivor. The courage has always been there, just under the surface. The only difference, it is not that boldly apparent. Outwardly, she is timid, inwardly she is steel. Her strength comes from the inside. They have not highlighted that fact with big dialogues (like other female leads), or given her OTT mannersisms...her subtlety is distracting. She does not stand for wrong, or she would not be a refugee in someone else's home. She does not compromise with her principles or she would not be suffering at Rudra's hands. And she stands strong and tall for things she holds close to her heart...loyalty is her forte..be it to Thakursa or Maithili. And who understands the plight of an orphan and the gratefulness she feels for the family that adopted her, better?

I loved her today..! <3 Reason is because I really feel hell offended when in real life, we see an injured person.. And NO ONE moves forward to help and leaves the injured one weeping and crying in pain.. Just because its not THEIR fight .. So they think why should we meddle? Agar hum sab yehi sochtay rahe that its not OUR battle to fight and we LET negativity prevail, then what is the difference between us and the offenders? By being indifferent towards other's pain, we are just as much to be blamed as the one who is offending..

Yes.. It was NOT Paro's fight.. She is chaaar din ki mehman.. Her life is already is at stake.. But honestly, the CRUDE words that Kaki was uttering was making me enter the screen and gave an earful to Kaki sa for being SO inhuman on SO many levels.. For saying some unforgiving things like 'She cannot be a good mother and hence God also deprived her of being one' In my POV, Paro did exactly how i wanted her to react..! Thank GOD she spoke..! It was her fight or not.. That really didnt matter .. A woman was being ridiculed for no extent and Kaki was saying some abominable things about adopted kids.. She didn't speak on ANY ONE's behalf.. It was just ONE human speaking for another,,! At that moment, Paro did'nt even think that she may be creating an enemy by raising voice against Kaki.. At that moment, her thoughts were clouded by the fact that Kaki is insulting someone's motherhood and that was a raw and sensitive nerve touched for her..!

I am glad they didnt show her being a part of audience. She spoke when she felt Kaki was going overvoard..!

fab post eveline! 🤗

🤗 I know exactly how you feel!! How cynical and how bitter are we, so trained in our thoughts, that anyone fighting a battle on behalf of another, is called a fool!! When someone stands up to help and defend another, we turn around and say, where was the need..mind your own business...where was your sense of self preservation?? It's become a norm now..a way of life.

Wow...such sweet words of encouragement 😳...thanks!! I have believed since day one that Paro is way more stronger than Rudra. Be it the way she handled the loss of her parents, or the loss of her husband, her family, her village, her identity...she has nothing left...yet you don't see her crying anymore. Rudra on the other hand is the weaker one here, the damaged one...the one that needs her help. He is unable to cope and so hides behind a faade. Paro will always emerge a winner, and it will take time for Rudra to understand that losing this battle is advantageous to him !!

I shouldn't be bringing this up here...but one of the most shameful moments of my life as an Indian, (as a human too), was when I heard that Nirbhaya or Jyoti...was lying without clothes on the streets of Delhi for 45 minutes...dying..bleeding..and people passed by...stared...goggled...but no one...not a single individual.. had the humanity to help her...cover her...!! How inexcusable...how inhuman are we?? But then, its the same philosophy...its not your fight!!

Sorry to digress...I shouldn't have linked up the two.

Coming back ...my feelings exactly. Paro had a connect with Maithili, but even if she was a stranger, I wouldn't recommend just standing there and let one woman treat another so shabbily!! Paro was more of a man then the men around...

Great writing eveline..!
I loved your post from IPK ...:)
Loved it when Paro spoke up... she had to... as all were sitting like a dumb.. and no one was supporting a week woman.
