🤗..Bai Sa...love you...and thank you for writing all that I felt but was too lazy to pen down. The post would have turned into a thesis for PaRud Phd. 😃Originally posted by: shreya_rc
well eve, very very interesting topic . and i am afraid it has the potential to create ruckus in the forum.
but I completely agree with u.no matter howmuch we ship parud and wish rudrr to reciprocate her feelings, we cannot force him to fall in love.and sorry to say, but paro baisa is acting more like a joan or arc driven by godz orders than a lovelorn woman.see her logic when she was explaining to him why they should be together.they must marry just because this was all bholenath wished all along.why paro think he should be her husband, because she is Parvati and he is Rudra, a namesake of mahadev !! what the heck ! if a girl is named Indrani , is she supposed to wait for her Indra to marry her? Or is a random Iyer girl Mahalaxmi is destined to marry Vishnuswami from her naamakaran ceremony ? this is the stupidest logic , i hav ever heard.because they cross path ever and again, it is a god's indication that their destinies are intertwined. really. I had a neighbour, a guy, and we crossed paths thousand times for the last 15 years.yet , we got married to different people (thankfully ) and happily surviving.I hav heard that frenzied devotees can do unbelievable feats if they think it is what god wishes them to do, and they are acting as god's mouth piece... a timid man can be transformed into a dare devil, a novice can let an army, a simpleton can become a scholar...history hold such evidences.now see our paro baisa is acting according to a divine decree... nearly forcing a guy to marry her . I wanted her to love him for what he is, not because it is her bholenath's wish, because she saw how he saved her from al perils, risking his own life, because she felt his unspoken love for her on some rare stolen moments, spotted admiration and attraction towards her on his hazel eyes ... because she found her worth loving ! baas !!
I agree 100% with every word of yours. And in my mind I call it the Great Paro Disconnect. In their quest to make her pristine and pure and godly and devout...the cvs turned her into such a religious and moral zealot that I , a modern and logical woman of this age, just fail to connect with her.
Now who in the hell falls for a guy overnight just cause he protects you. Who in the hell believes that Godji is sending signals and messages all along that he is the chosen one by broken bracelets, and khoon bhari maangs, and a voodoo doll, and a prasaad ka phool and a ghanti ...and ..their names and dreams...and...phew.. let is be, shrey the list is way too long and exhausting. Just imagine the humor in the situation that he is her destined one coz she is Paro and he is Rudra. What happens if tomorrow the dudhwaala's name turns out to Shiva, or the subzi waala's name is Shankar...shaadi cancel ??? Just coz she is Parvati...her name has to be linked with a Bholenath's namesake??? Goli maar do hum sab ko...
Her public proposal (and mind you not for love...for marriage a la sindoor ) was sounding more like a religious sermon. No wonder Rudra fled like there was no tomorrow. And every time he said have u lost it...I just couldn't help echo his feelings. Gosh, even if a guy genuinely had feelings for her, with such behavior in sight, he would simply tell himself to forget it. She would probably scare the daylights out of him.
And yes, I want her to fall in love with Rudra, the man, for what he is. I want her to feel attracted to him, to appreciate his values, his good looks, his valour, his stand, his tenderness that lies beneath that rough faade. I want her to love him like a woman does a man...not accept him like we accept Prasad at a temple, eat it mechanically and then brush off our hands.
Lets just say Bai Sa...once again my penchant for honesty has landed me in deep trouble and I will pay a price for sure...😆
