5th June - A celibate first night!

Lashy awesome update...

Shradha ... agree with you..

Lashy I've been waiting for your post for hours now! I just love your updates and the way you analyse the INSA scenes!

Today's epi was good, though I wish it been non-stop INSA! I know that to be realistic that they needed to show Tarachand and co run around the city looking for Sanchi like headless chickens. Little, admittedly now useless tips, but doesn't mahak have Indu's phone nom? Why didn't they call him, and ask where he had taken Sanchi, or at least affirm that she was still alive? Long shot I know that he would have answered it but it was worth a try. Also why didn't she at least tell them that mannu was there also and aided Indu in carting Sanchi off? I'm pretty sure he would have answered Sitaram's angry questions in regards to Sanchi's whereabouts, if they had bothered to call him.
Also another top tip for mahak next time you see someone kidnapping your bestie, don't get off your scooter. Stay on it and drive headlong straight into those a*******! Then while they jump back in fear and/or pain get bestie to jump on behind you, and zoom off at warp speed!
Plus if the officer at the police station wouldn't file a complaint against Indu abducting Sanchi, why didn't mahak report him for harassing her? He's slapped her twice, choked her once, and tried to have her fingers cut off, so that's physical assault. He had her abducted and brought to his adda, so that's kidnapping. Plus he had the air let out of tyres, so that's another charge for damaging private property. Hell she can throw in a charge for mental harassment too! Phew all I can say is that Sarachand best swot up well on defending his nephew against all those charges!

Coming too Sarachand I liked how they kept him consistent in his defence of his nephew. The man has a vile soul, but he has one nevertheless, and that soul is extremely loyal and protective over his loved ones i.e. his family. I wouldn't be surprised if they did show him tomorrow already planning in advance the best possible defence for Indu, in case Sanchi and her family attempt to use the law to get back at him.

Tarachand was also good as usual as an impotent and frustrated father, lashing out everyone as he silently curses himself for not having done more to protect his child. I seriously don't think I can bear to see him being harassed so much. Seeing him so helpless, I don't understand why Sanchi hasn't already agreed to his request to just leave the city and Indu behind them. Why does she insist on staying so she can play her ridiculas one-upmanship game with Indu? Her family and friends have suffered far more than her, in her quest to humiliate and ruin Indu.

And for what Sanchi? Because he loved you? I was so pissed the other day when Sanchi told Indu it wasn't her fault he loved her. You know why? Because that meant when she tricked and took advantage of him to get the property papers, she did so knowing that he really loved her. I was under the illusion that she thought he was just obsessed with her, But no, Sanchi knew that it was genuine love from Indu's end, and she really couldn't give a tiny rats a**, that she was playing with his heart. She deliberately set out to break it, in the most cruelest, humiliating and brutal way that she could. And all I have to say is Sanchi shame on you for that! Where did the girl who was so angry at Prabal for playing with her bestie's heart go then eh?! So it was wrong for Prabal to take advantage of Mahak, but ok for you to take advantage of Indu's love? I tell you that there is a serious case of Pot, Kettle, and Black going on there.

Also Mr. Indu 'I never listened to you when I was in love, so why should I listen to you when I hate you' Singh, double shame on you! At least Sanchi has the defence of never proclaiming to care about Indus feelings, but he professed to love Sanchi. So why did he deliberately ignore Sanchi's pleas and desires? Because he's a selfish, egotistical, spoilt brat, who always has to have his own way.
In this battle of egos between Sanchi and Indu, I honestly don't know who will win, but IMO; they're both as bad as each other, so therefore deserve to be together. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing I'll let them decide!

Coming back to today's epi and the all important INSA scenes, once again acting was flawless, and the dialogues crisp and fresh. The way Indu behaved reminded me of what he said in his very first RJN appearance, 'Only I have the right to be both the villain and hero of this campus'.
And indeed in that locked classroom, with Sanchi he exerted his full rights as he bounced madly from hero to villain.
He laughed manically at Sanchi's attempts to physically stop him with the candlestick, and weak hearted baseless threats on his life. There he was the villain as he mocked her by insisting that he was giving her what she wanted, her rights as his wife.
But the hero came to the fore as he thrust his bloody hand at her showing her the harsh reality of her deeds, and life itself. As he pointed out rightly no matter how much Sanchi denies it she is his wife, and he is part of her life. They are bound together, in a solemnised rista of hatred, and though she struggles to she can never truly sever those ties. Indu threw those harsh truths in her face, and our sweet little liar, couldn't simply put, handle it. Especially when he told as his wife no one not even she had the right to keep him away from her.
The way he backed her into a corner, lost for words, the hero in Indu was there suddenly as tears streamed freely down Sanchi's face. He wanted to be close to her, he wanted to wipe those tears away, he still loved her, and God does he hate her for that fact. He really hates her because he truly loves her.

Yet she is the girl that broke his heart, thereby killing his belief and illusions of love. Indu due to Sanchi's manipulations now knows that love is both the sweetest and painful emotion that ever was. So as revenge he is going to get her where it hurts, she used his love, his honesty in his love for her, that which was his strength and made it into his weakness, so he will take her biggest strength her, oh so sweet lies and use them against her.

Sarcasm dripped like acid from his words as he states that she was a 'big advocate of the truth', before laying his plan before her. She's so fond of lies, well then he is going to force her live a lie for the rest of her life. That and that only is Indu's punishment for Sanchi, to turn her own weapon against her.

Indu basked in the shine of his own victory as Sanchi cried silent tears of pain. She used the fact that he never backed down from his word time and time again against him, never believing that Indu would one day use that same chal on her.
Once again Indu also had to have some band baja as he celebrated his victory, so he made his own music, and blew a makeshift trumpet. Is there any symbolism in the fact that he chose the candlestick that Sanchi used to attack him? Does it show that Sanchi's weapon had indeed become his tool for victory?

After some music Indu leaps on to the bed, to muss it up a little, as he is leaving no stone unturned to let this truth be revealed. Sanchi looks on in anguish, at him, and I seriously think part of her was horrified that it wasn't just any mad man she watching, it was her husband who was singing in the joy of having destroyed her name and self-respect . Indu's causally flung petals at her stung her more than any physical slap, as she knew then it was her husband's curse towards her.

He stated as much after her umpteenth attempt at escape failed. His wedding gift towards her is fear and hatred, both hers and his. Tomorrow he will let her fly free but Indu will do his best to never let the truth escape from that room.

Small ray of hope for Sanchi was that the hero in Indu is still there somewhere. He could have done so much worse to her, starting from the point she hit him with the candlestick, but he didn't. And the fact he didn't, the fact that he controlled both his anger and hatred for her means something. The fact that there was no lust in his eyes today but only love and hatred means something too. Both of them know these facts, and I can only hope that Sanchi doesn't use this knowledge in a negative way.

P.S Guys for those of you who bothered to read this Himalayan post, I'm so sorry for rambling on and on!

Thanks for the update.😊

@ shridevigaddam : Glad that someone as a lady is saying it...coz if i had said something similar i would have been labelled as an MCP...however to elaborate on your point...Though i condone Indu's actions...however no matter what i dig deep in i have always been able to track the source back to Sanchi...except for his initial visits to "Sanchi's" House forcefully ...
She was the one who entered into a deal by asking him to get the papers in return for getting married to him...Sanchi was the one who tried to frame him in false case...Sanchi was the one who went to public first by giving the interview...Sanchi was the one who acted as if she wanted her rights as a wife and Indu did not give her the wifey rights...
and voila what has Indu done..he has done tit for tat...He forcefully married her since it was the deal which she initiated...He retorted to her interview by the Poster Scam...He killed two birds with one stone by "fake suhaagraat" as a fitting reply to her "false case" & "fake wifey claims"
In fact dumbo Sanchi has still not realised that two of the most prized posessions in her life are due to Indu..."1st year scholarship" and "her ancestral house"...
she also made fun of Indu's mom's love for her by playing out the marriage & jail scam , though Indu did go one step lower by physically abusing her father...That is a strict no no for me...No matter what violence has no place in my book...
At the end of it i feel...whatever Sanchi does...it always remains as a mistake...simply because she does it in a minor scale...Indu on the other hand never makes mistakes...he makes BLUNDERS...still he has kept his dignity intact except for pushing his wifey in front of his friends at the end of marriage...he has given her accord of wife...which is a respectful position(though i am not sure...how much of it would be knowing you are a goon's wife)...he never defamed her...till the poster scam & now SR...
Another difference i find b/w these two is the primal importance of values these two hold in life...For Indu...its all about feelings...i dont think he is very upset about the fact that Sanchi exposed him in front of the college...if you look through the scene carefully...he gets angry when Sanchi mocks his feelings...she has done earlier too when she rejected him in front of the college...but that did not diminish his love for her...however what has upset him is her disdain and mockery for his feelings...
On the other hand for Sanchi...its all about self respect & identity / false ego...she seemed to be more upset with the fact that Indu did not give her the right of a wife rather than the forceful marriage...she seems to be more upset with the fact that people address her as bhabiji or Sanchi Indu singh...
Both of these people are hurting each other where it hurts the most...Sanchi by making mockery of his feelings & Indu by hurting her self respect / identity...
Anyways was recently watching the Curtain Raiser of RJN...and Indu Singh introduces himself in style saying..."yahaan ke hero bhi hum hain or villain bhi hum"...that means INSA fans will have to wait for a long time till we see them romancing each other...

Ashok,

Truly leaving aside all admiration for Indu Singh character in a story...I TOTALLY agree with you. I feel the same as you.

In fact I have an additional point in defence of Indu's actions against Saanchi's parents.

Thing is Indu is truly a man of the soil. The rugged Dehaati with all his notions of values as the people devoid of sophistication tell you.
I understand this so clearly because, I have my mom so full of values and yet can speak the Dehaat language all in sarpanch style and win the case...City bred or cosmopolitan or whatever...brute force and naked honesty of the soil is what gets us going in any life anywhere.

Coming back from my digression...

• Indu showed respect to Saachi's mom when he saw her first time.
• Indu also showed respect to his Saanchi's father when he saw him first time.
• In contrast, I don't think Saanchi has an iota of true respect for Indu's mom. It is only a conditioned respect, in the same manner as she shows to Mrs.Panda (the land-owner).
  
• Indu defends Saanchi's mother in that tell-tale drama of short-clothers when Saanchi mocks at her mother.

******As a rich feudal son...being rich and all...he must have seen lot of elderly men and women walk to his house. Father being an MLA and mother being a Sarpanch, he must have known how to treat people...basically easy understanding to establish power equations and yet follow values...because ultimately values keep the power in tact.

• Indu knows Saanchi's parents are opposed to him. But at the same time, he has no intentions to use them for his benefit. He just doesn't care. Wouldn't it have been ideal for Saanchi's father to talk to Indu's father ? Won't you feel that as a father at your age ? a PEER To PEER talk. Fine let's grace the fault on CVs for not thinking about it.
  
• Saanchi calls his mother...unknowing to him. Tell me how does one feel when another uses your parent against you ? The scene was comedy one there when we get to see for the first time Indu's mother. But truly...can we ignore that Indu must have felt the bow's twang !
• Then after that Indu's ego gets hurt that the whole family (Saanchi + her parents) fooled him and his mother on that fake horoscope thing. Again what do you feel when parents are involved like this. Thing is from parenrs we expect only truth, admonishment, censure, love etc. No one can expect lie & game from parents. So Indu's respect for her parenrs is already gone.
• Now all that marriage in 24 hours foiled through Saanchi's mother's suicide act. Now again from a Dehaat point, when will you expect that parents can even fake a suicide drama ? And before that is known to him, he is already in jail. Where will that lead you ?
• And now finally when gets out of jail..how can we not justify Indu's total disrespect for Saanchi's father in that first kidnapping ? As man to man, again in dehaat style...would you allow your women of the house to go to such great length of lies and dramas and accusations ?

Dignity is attained through actions and just cannot be forced through mere age or any other traditional fad. That's brute reality.

@ Suki 11: I just wait for your posts...as much as i wait for lashy's updates... & don't bother about the Himalayan Posts...in fact...it is inspiration for lot of people to go and have a deep analysis or different perspective to the on goings in RJN and post it here in detail...if not to post Himalayan post themselves.😳...
Just that you keep on redefining Himalayan Heights again and again...😉...
One more thing...i observed your post only after i finished posting mine...since your post was not uploaded at that point of time...but surprisingly we have mentioned quite a few similar points ...and at the risk of sounding pompous i am self complimenting myself ⭐️since i have always valued/ rated your post very High😊
