The hands you take and the hands you leave Part 63-Updated page 149 - Page 99

Hey , she used to curse the maa who gave her away every birthday ( it wasn't a matlabi maa then!) . So in her mind satrupa is maa ( bad or good). Pagli Panditaayan is above maa!

First is Satrupa. She's the mother. She's the lioness. She's the businesswoman. She's Durga. She's Kali. She's everything in one. Today she was the mother and the lioness both. She was the mother to Anami, as the void is slowly filling. The void of losing Vatsalya. Don't misunderstand. No one can replace Vatsalya. But Anami has now made her own place in Satrupa's heart and filled the void that Vatsalya's death left. But just as quickly she became a lioness on a hunt when she learnt of Purushottam's location. A lioness who will spare no one.

The other character is Narottam. So far we've seen a hurt Narottam, a hidden Narottam, a ghost Narottam. Today Narottam came out in full force. He threatened Sudha. Either bring Ladoo back safe and sound, else you go down. It doesn't matter that he'll go down with her. Today he became that bigger brother that he had been hiding for so long. Even though Anami made him leave his identity by signing the papers, he chose to see the reasoning behind it. Anami was stuck. She could choose one brother. She chose Vatsalya. He understood and he chose her side today. There's nothing Sudha and Purushottam can do now to bring Narottam back. But at the same time, Narottam is still joined to Anami's side by a fragile thread. If Anami does anything or pulls too hard, she could still lose Narottam. Somewhere I also feel that today marked Narottam's downfall. Sudha will stop at nothing to get her revenge and destroy LM. Making Narottam heir is just a cover for her real goal. And so if it means sacrificing Narottam, she will. Now she even has reason to do so.

Second the evolution of Narottam as a loving brother. Akash Gill is also doing justice to the role with dignity; absolute dignity. Third for a change Sudha. Only yesterday, I could see her in a proper villainous role instead of over the top acting. Sangeeta Ghosh is a good actress, but her mannerisms seemed theatrical till date. However, yesterday she redeemed it to a large extent.

Lastly, Poonam telling Anami how a mother felt; I mean I hope they now show Anami as melting slowly for Satrupa.

And I sincerely hope they don't drag too much. Someone mentioned a spoiler coming that Satrupa is seen trying to bribe Purushottam; I just hope Anami doesn't misunderstand just for unnecessary dragging. I don't want it to bee like other serials. And, the funny thing is nobody is keeping an eye on Naina. I mean Poonam was shown as snooping on her and showing her true colours to Satrupa, but now she doesn't do anything on her. Also, the fact that she noted Satrupa's bonding with Anami, but never once saw Naina put a bug in Anami's room. A bit hilarious that.

And finally, Dhaamo came. I hope it is not an one off sequence. She needs more space too. Every character is important and I hope the makers realise this instead of going the other serials' way. And I also hope SP doesn't interfere with the creatives for TRP ratings. Else this show will lose its trusted viewership.

Naina bringing food to Sudha. I am not sure it is as innocent as it seems. Satrupa had told she want to see Sudha and who knows Satrupa is playing with her.

Janas SKR was never Ramayan. It was Siya Ke Ram, Ram through the eyes of Sita which gave so many answers to me, answers to the questions that has haunted me from teenage.

One more thing I have to tell, Ramayan is the most beautiful love story I have ever read. It was never a religious book for me, but a book that gave inner peace and I understood why it was that way because it showed the supreme power of love. There is a dialogue Gargi tells Ram in SKR , you are doing revolution with love and that was what Ram did also. Revolution with love. He didnt use the gun, he use the rose which had thorns in it. 😃

Bring me a love story that can match the scene of Ram lifting the shiv dhanush and Janaki's heart racing at the moment. Bring me a love story in which a man crosses an ocean for his love. Bring me a love story in which a woman waits with faith that her husband will come, he will fight the man who had abducted her and will defeat him. Bring me a love story that can beat the beauty of Sundara Kandam where Hanuman gives Ram mudrika to Sita and takes her Choodamani. Nothing can match it. Nothing that is why it is said as long as rivers and mountains are there Ramayan will live. It is not the religious status that has kept it alive so long, it is the beauty of love Narayan and Lakshmi shared as Ram and Sita that has kept that book still in the minds of readers generation after generation.

If Ramayan is love story MB is of course political thriller. You can take "n" interpretations from it. But what ever that needs to learned about knowledge, wealth and power is there in that.

Power of the system that banishes Sita, is the same power that goes to disrobe Panchali and kills Abhi in Chakravyuha.

It is the power of the system that keeps the burden of rape on victim, that has the craze for boy child even if that means killing baby girls in their mother's womb, in a whole the patriarchy belief that was there in tetra yug, dwapar yug and is there in kali yug. It is not men alone who are responsible for it, it is also supported by women.

A man who rapes a woman and a woman who puts accusation of fake rape on a noble man support patriarchy. A man who wants to kill his daughter and a wife who supports that support patriarchy. Women are not the victims of patriarchy, men are too.

When a Sita is sent away, a Ram cries silently. When a Panchali is humilated a Bhima languishes in pain and an Arjuna burns in fire. I have read somewhere when a woman stands up for herself, when a woman questions the patriarchy along with that she is liberating a noble man also. Giving him a chance to change the system.

Stop seeing the world through man's eyes, see it through your eyes for change to happen.
