The thing that jumped out at me today is Narottam's reaction to why Ladoo is here. Narottam was that little invisible child in LM, who was not the heir and had to hide in the shadows because he was the shame. He was not treated well by most, abused by many so he of all people will know what Ladoo could probably face. His concern for Anami and surprise at Satrupa bringing Ladoo is also telling.
Narottam will never be a leader, he will always be a follower. He is with Sudha because of loyalty and she is the dominant personality. But he has these occasional bursts of concern and protectiveness and they are all for Anami. These little drops of concern will grow into a mighty ocean one day and be a part of freeing LM I feel. That is due to Anami's unconditional kindness towards Narottam. She sees his personhood. He is not a shameful secret , part of someone's past or someone to be used. He is just Narottam, a person who deserves kindness and respect because he exists. That is Pantitayen's parvarish. Like Anami tells her today, "don't you have faith in your parvarish".
If you want the truth about who you are, one of the best people to hear it from is an enemy. It is interesting how even Sudha says Satrupa was good, but is changing now and becoming like her. She also says she was good once too. These two women are connected to LM through Baldev. So is he is the poison that needs to be drawn out ?
The symbolism of the Lotus today. Obviously Sudha is not the lotus that blooms in the murky mud of LM. It is Ladoo to me. The Lotus is an amazing flower. It starts life in murky, muddy, dirty depths of lakes and ponds in still water. Ladoo is like that. He starts life new to LM today in the depths of the tainted water. He will be influenced by the many people hoping to use him to influence Anami. As the Lotus grows it grows through the dirt and breaks the surface unblemished as this beautiful flower facing the sun. So too will Ladoo need to sift through all those opinions to learn the truth about who to trust. His opinion has value to Anami and the truth that will finally surface will be the one that brings sunlight to LM. It also foretells growth of Ladoo from an innocent child to someone of wisdom to me.
Satrupa is as usual her ungrateful, obnoxious self today. I need to see change in her to relate to her or appreciate her in any way. But I love Narayani Shastri because she is doing the impossible.
Making me love an actress of a character I dislike immensely.
I want to give a taliyaan for our Daroga Babu and the poor CBI 👏. Today they were successful, tomorrow Bheema may die or escape. But today they were effective. 😆
