In a way, I am grateful to Laila Bai Sa...😆!!! (yeah I m in my senses) What in the normal course of events would have taken a while, she with her foolish antics, has precipitated. She has cut short all our wait, all our longing, and thrust Rudra and Paro together. She has forced their hands, and butted their heads together. They would have taken it slowly and gradually, at their own sweet pace and Dilsher would have had to wait at least a dozen years (if not more 😃) for Junior Rudy and mini Paro. And of course, the shameless creature that we are, our consumashun meter would have recorded zero activity, leaving us all chronically depressed (I am already on meds 😆).
Jokes apart, thank you Laila Bai Sa for stating something that needed to be said. Yes, Paro is blindfolded. And its high time, she takes off the blindfold and opens her eyes. And sees Rudra for what he is. A man. A sometimes strong, sometimes weak human. Not a Hero and definitely not God. He does not need to be and should not be worshipped. He should not be placed on a pedestal. Rudra is her husband, her partner, with likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, positive and negatives. Rudra is flawed, and so is she. He deserves love, but nothing more. He is not the center of the universe, the planets do not revolve round him. He is not perfect and please do not treat him as such. I have always felt that the love Paro has for him is quite different from what a woman has for her man. Be it her innocence, or her unworldliness, her devout, religious temperament, her simplicity or her purity...whatever reasons we might put forth, but it was high time, the equation needed to be altered. She needs to treat him like an ordinary mortal, a man with human qualities and characteristics cause this was getting too lopsided.
Plus from a reality check pov, it can be very suffocating for a partner when he or she is worshipped unconditionally by the other. And on the other hand, sooner or later, the devotee is bound to get disappointed. So, the sooner the better.
(Paro lovers don't get me wrong, not abusing or bashing, just putting forth my pov without any intention of insult or offence)
I am grateful to Laila, for jolting her out of her idyllic world, for shocking her out of her illusionary existence. She needed to see Rudra as he is, in black and white and grey. She needs to remove the blindfold of hero worship or religious comparisons and see Rudra and only Rudra. Now, finally I want to see her react as a human, and treat him as such.
Anger, greed, lust, jealously...although all ugly, are woven in our beings. No man or woman is above such basic instincts. Neither Rudra, nor Paro and nor Laila. Thank you Laila Bai Sa for making this love story more human!!
Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin
