The show today was not funny, still I feel light hearted!! And I couldn't explain the mystery of the smile, it gifted me.
My heart goes out to Paro and her plight. It seems pathetic to the extreme. But I have said before and will say it again, I refuse to waste my pity or sympathy on either her or Rudra. And I can bet that neither of them would appreciate or want it. They both are fighters in their own rights, survivors, and they both know how to fight back without giving an inch. Rudra might seem more weak and vulnerable, but lets not forget what the guy has managed to achieve on his own. Yes, emotions are his weak point but then, simplicity is Paro's Achilles heel too. If one is short tempered the other is equally stubborn.They both have their weak spots, yet both fight a mean battle. The clash of the titans.
So then, why the upliftment of heart, the smile? On introspection, realized the reason for this smile...Hope. In some form cause there is something left, something unbroken, when an old man hands a girl a blanket, as a symbol of his trust and support and concern. Yes, hope that had never touched Rudra's barren life, is now right at his doorstep, literally sitting waiting for him. His existence till now seemed frozen, suddenly we see some colors of spring in his bleak winter survival. The ruthless brute could not bring himself to harm or hurt a broken angel. Again hope is knocking on the horizon for a weak old man, struggling for his life, cause when he opens his eyes, his dream of having a happy home will finally come true. He will get to a see a son, a son he had always dreamt of, and will see his bright future too. And the best part, they will be blessed with love and peace...finally. And hope for a simple innocent honest girl, who lost her all at the hands of a cruel master manipulator. Hope of a new beginning, hope of true love, hope of coming home after years of wandering and wondering. She will eventually and gradually and yes, painfully, get a soul mate who will saturate her very soul with happiness and love, and will complete her.
I see future hope in their present hopelessness.
Not to mention the hope that with both of them combining their wits, we will soon see justice done, and deserving punishment meted out to some who should be nailed ( and not the dupattas ).
There was plenty to see, tons of drama, anger, bitterness, determination, tenderness, evilness, ...so many eddying undercurrents of human emotions yet what stayed with me was not today but tomorrow...cause now we see Hope.
