For all the CB team, I can only thank my stars for choosing to watch this show, and coming across this forum.
This has transported me to my high school Sanskrit teachers and their interpretation of great works in Sanskrit. How I'm discovering now, that choosing a Science field what all I've missed from the literary world and stimulating discussions of this sort.@Hgg, just for the discussion,' narcissism' is used with negative connotation, 'self obsessed', they are incapable of thinking about other's well being, which Kumud is clearly not. I could agree she is someone with high self esteem..which can border onto 'ghamand' if she periodically doesn't keep it in check.There is a deviation here, of her circumstances of choosing to marry Pramad from original, my interpretation at this was.. She took the decision, the choice would be to 'stay unmarried' or 'face the challenge, face whatever life is throwing at you'. One can never predict the consequences of any decision. Being indecisive is not her trait. Taking a challenging path is what Kumud would do..Here I find, CB team do have much better interpretation and explanation, each sounding right in its own way.. That is the beauty of the forum.
First of all, I would like to let everyone know just how speechless I am... These discussions are so insightful and amazing... š Arshi, if it wasn't for your amazing CB's consistently penned so luxuriously, yet so simply, every single day, I would perhaps never have the opportunity to have such an enriching experience from such a scholarly platform. Thank you so much, once again, dear friend. š³
And our fellow CB writers, Hgg-bhai, Smrth-bhai, IdiotViewer (I find your name a complete, paradox, good friend š) Happychappy, Twila, Vaishali, and anyone else I might have missed-my apologies. You all abled people know who you are... what would I do without your daily insights as well. I get a joy from your philosophies that is almost separate from the show. Fabulous, fabulous work. š
Adlani... beautiful insights. I just have one thing I would like to add to your marvellous work, to simply add my own musings to your splendour.
@ Bold: Kumud had also taken a challenging path which was Saras before she had even started to fall in love with him. Coming back to I-Viewer's musings, it is clear that to Kumud, Saras had displayed the nature of a leader (or as I-Viewer brilliantly described, "an Alpha,") through things such as by taking the responsibility of the gau hatya.
Fast forwarding a bit, to where Badi Maa had requested Kumud to transform Saras into a man who hid from the shadows, rather than made them his companion, and we see just how much she had tried and tried again to fulfill her Badi Maa's wish. Saras was indeed a challenge to her, because his past was so dark, and his personal demons, perhaps darker.
And we can see that it was exceedingly hard for Kumud to bring him to the light, because of the many confrontations between the two, and the many emotional breakdowns one or the other had. This challenging path she took inevitably gave her an opportunity to seek her soulmate, however, once she was shunned again, also triggered her to take this next challenge that was "to face whatever life was throwing at her", as you say, dear Adlani. š
Perhaps then, Kumud looked at Saras as not a challenge, but an obstacle of sorts, for a lack of a better word. It was clear to her that he had, of sort, crawled back into his own shell, made the shadows his companion, and all together, rather than showing his strength, displayed his weaknesses. This was a challenge Kumud clearly could not tackle in such a short amount of time, and perhaps, is why she moved into another which would cater to her immediate needs?
Indeed, what an unfortunate situation, for it to some extent, depends on power struggle.
