Dear Rudra... - Page 2

There is an excellent reason you are not a Birpuri Village Girl with exactly 5th standard levels of education, a passive life that allowed you to drift along with no say and no voice for 18 years, and then Fate suddenly gave you--not just a say--but the only say--- in your choices.

You are a smart woman who has a reaction to the abusive words being thrown at that village girl, and you would be right. You feel for her, extrapolate his cruel words as a slap to her pride, as something to protest. All right. Even Rudra, in his asking her---what is WRONG with you...he is right.


But from Paro's perspective, everything that is happening to her parallels the story she has heard growing up--believing it, honestly worshiping it, leaving all decisions to it. She thinks she is going through the trials of Parvati, and sees literally nothing wrong with the comparison.

She is not guilty of being besharam--she is not even guilty, I think, of being controlling or rude. She is following the path she believes in, and has no one right now to tell her "no." She is doing manmaani--but thinks its blessed by her Bholenath. I lve her character--and I udnerstand why the CVs spent the first one monthgiving us NO voice for Parvati--she needed to be akone to even find it. NOw, Paro is someone who pleases me purely because she is so--NOT us Not you, not me.

She has no inner motivation, no layers, no ego, no pride. I think we feel protective of Paro because it would not even occur to her to protect herself . Ego, pride, self esteem--all these are inner-monologue concepts--ideals that come from a secondary self. She has none--and there ARE people like this--and BTW, they are hugely dangerous, because the are so straightforward, no one can believe it.

That completely linear thinking where she LITERALLY answers things that are asked of her, and has no depth beyond what she is saying and feeling--no inner monologue--she is beautifully simple. Not stupid--but because she has always been led, passively, now that she is leading her own choices, nothing will sway her, or move her.

It is this simplicity, this straight forward, literally not understanding how the other person might be finding her behavior odd--that is Paro.

Loving it...!

If Paro really is characterless as you claim her to be,

is trying to seduce you as you reckon,

why would she wait all this while, when you were willingly pouncing on her, invading her personal space, just a few weeks ago?

Yours sincerely

P.S- More than the jibe it is the lack of reaction from Paro that was infuriating. They should have at least shown some anger.

But from Paro's perspective, everything that is happening to her parallels the God narrative she has heard growing up--believing it, honestly worshiping it, leaving all decisions to it. She thinks she is going through the trials of Parvati, and sees literally nothing wrong with the comparison. When he says those horrible things--to her mind, he is just causing her additional "tapassya" that she must live through. It becomes penance. You don't take penance personally--especially when you know you are not guilty. You do the "praschith," What other think of her, judging her-- its irrelevant to Paro.


She is not guilty of being besharam--she is not even guilty, I think, of being controlling or rude. She is following the path she believes in, and has no one she listens to (Mamisa, Thakurain, Dilsher, even) right now to tell her "no." She is doing manmaani--but thinks its blessed by her Bholenath--the signs say so. It must be so. I love her character--and I understand why the CVs spent the first one month giving us NO voice for Parvati--she needed to be alone to even find it. NOW, Parois someone who pleases me purely because she is so--NOT us-- Not you, not me.

But Napster, aren't they taking her godly characteristics, Shiv Parvati symbolism too far? I was watching the epi and nearly cried for all the hurtful things he said. But Paro goes back to her smiley self? I sound like a retard, but she should maybe... cry a little? How can one be this far away from reality?

Story wise, I think you're right. That's what Paro's character should be like. Strong ideals of right and wrong and nothing else. But the relatability factor with Paro dropped a few places for me today. Pata nahi. Monday ko dekhte hain. I've lost count of how many times I've said the "wait and watch" mantra to myself over the course of this show.
