I am no longer watching RR as I used to. I used to wait breathlessly for 12:30pm my time so that I could google the outcome of the daily show and then I would watch it on-line as I did my daily commute and then I watched it again at home and again the next day with subtitles. Unfortunately, that joy is gone for me. I chose to stop watching after Paro's death, but I will probably come back to check up on the characters. I was in the process of deleting all my pre-recorded shows when I watched a few minutes of one episode. I hope if I am incorrect in my assertions here (as I am not watching regularly) anyone who is watching will correct me.
I saw a scene between Maitali, Rudra, and the two children. It was the sweetest scene I have seen. The saddest part is what a makeshift family they were: a widower, a motherless boy, a girl who has a mother who seems to care less about her and a childless Maitali with so much love to give. It was a heartbreaking scene as there were 4 people who needed each other to survive in this family. Rudra's heart belongs to Paro, Dhruv longs for his lost mothers touch and a love, Koyel longs for own mothers attention and love, Maitali longs for her husbands support and her mothers in laws approval.
I watched as Rudra sat at the head of the table, the father, The kids sat mimicking him and joking and Maitali stood near by as the loving patient mother figure.
Maitali- again she has risen above all the women in this household to show that she is the real woman of the house. She is the mother. She is the caretaker. She is the backbone of this house and this family. If she were not there, these 2 children would suffer immensely. They would feel a loss so much greater than they already do. I hope she gets the due she deserves for being the strongest woman in this family.
This will be my last post on the forum (probably), so I just want to say thank you to anyone who
anyone who has read any of Paro/Rudra inspired FF and I thank everyone for the inclusion. I have loved all of the lively discussions and debates as well. Enjoy your time in the forum.
