Chain reaction and collateral damage - Page 2

There is no duty. He's weak, very weak and at this moment does not have the mental capacity to have anyone depend on him. But my point was that they both left.

well what shall i say...i am dumstruck

but then two proud and self esteemed people in love ...one an emotionally distraught and impulsive and another equally his counterpart...

and when such people fall for each other truely and madly in love...they give everything and take nothing

a relationship survives when at least one adjusts but here both r tees maar khaan ...such love stories never have happy endings but then r always so alluring ...thay have .the pain of .the separation and bliss of union ...i am hating myself for loving it

One old query; How does Radha- Krishna apply in here? Which Krishna repeatedly condemns a Radha to a pit of sorrow? What bliss that Radha would get out of a wilfully trampled devotion?

Ram- Sita may fit better- Ram had also condemned her twice. But then, even Ram had not wilfully chucked her to a Ravan, or for himself found another Sita!🤢

I can't find parallel of Saras Kumud with any of them right now.. Radha Krishna maybe coz of the incomplete love story.. but their decision to not be one was collective, as far as I know atleast not an outcome of a blunder or misjudgement..

Ram Sita will fit better because we want it that way... but again not sure about the ending.. remember my question smrth?

Krishna had still left her though right? He had to perform his duties so he left the longing Radha.

Vaish, brilliant post. It's one of those moments where you know what the character is going through yet we just cannot agree with his or her actions. Must be a good thing right? They're flawed characters. Saras has, like you said caused a chain reaction...his one moment of weakness will unfold events one after the other. Very excited to see how it all churns out! There was a reason why there was a constant emphasis on Kumud's eccentric pride in herself and family. If its hurt then she will hurt that person. I want to see how and why Kumud decides to go ahead with the marriage to Pramad. What will her frame of mind be? I don't want to see a wholly depressed one. That tez talwaar Kumud has been missing for a while!

Exactly. But I think, I am digressing...other time.

smrth..

Radha-Krishna love was / is a benchmark.
- One interpretation is that Krishna enraptured the world, and Radha enraptured Krishna i.e.
drives Krishna with her love. She is his heart and soul
>>> Analogy #1 for SC: Saras guilt / remorse / love / need to make amends plus his love for kumud will now drive him all his life.

But
- it never got the sanctity of / culminated in marriage even in the society they lived in and despite the greatness of Krishna.
- once Krishna left and their jodi broke, it never united physically ..even though Krishna went on to marry others.
>>> Analogy #2 for SC: IF SLB remains true to the original novel, these two will never marry in a physical union DESPITE the all - powerful Analogy #1

My belief is that as the story progresses, kumud will be a combination of Radha & Meera.
Refer the fantastic bhajan by Lata Mangeshkar:

Ek radha, ek meera
Dono ne shyam ko chaha
Antar kya dono ki chah me bolo
Ik prem deewani, ik daras deewani
Ek radha, ek meera ...

Radha ne madhuban me dhundha
Meera ne man mein paya
Radha jise kho baithi
Wo govind aur daras dikhaya

Ek murali ek payal, ek pagali, ek ghayal
Antar kya dono ki prit me bolo
Ek suurat lubhani, ek murat lubhani

Ik prem deewani, ik daras deewani ...

Meera ke prabhu giridhar nagar
Radha ke manamohan
Radha din shringar kare
Aur meera ban gayi jogan
Ek rani ek dasi, dono hari prem ki pyasi

Antar kya dono ki tripti me bolo
Ek jeet na maani, ek haar na maani
Ik prem deewani
Ik daras deewani ...
