SPM~ My Musings~ 14.6.19 ~ The unforeseen
One can plan, but a popular saying goes,“nothing is certain except the unforeseen”. Kainat’s haldi ritual makes me think that generally the whole family concludes that Kainat and Humza are both simply jumping through various hoops to formalize their alliance .Yet we know, where Kainat is concerned, one cannot foresee what she is really up to?
Zaroon, on the other hand is absolutely certain of two things currently. One, thatSaltanat will abide by her promise,of disclosing the name of the person who is holding Saltanat back from openly accepting Zaroon, after Kainat’s nikah.Secondly, that Zaroon’s Sufiyana love disallows him to even believe in anymore unforeseen difficulties in marrying Saltanat. A keen lovers passionate expectation, no doubt. But what does standout in their stolen flirting scene is Saltanat’s anxiety over some unforeseen snag which may create a technical hitch in Kainat’s haldi ceremony...or wedding?
I would say Saltanat, anticipated some hassle! that’s why when the niggly issue of which dress Kainat turned up for the ceremony ,looms up. Saltanat was the first to dismiss the insult Dadi felt, as a possible genuine mix up by Neelam that happens in such occasions! Saltanat’s attitude,though causes,Rubina much angst! as her own daughter fouls up her mother’s planned fireworks! In the wrong dress mix up scene , it was interesting to note that Zaroon too supports Saltanat’s no big deal attitude. Zaroon in fact, creates a sensible diversion, when he empowers Dadi to explain the significance of the haldi ceremony as one, grooming ,preparatory,beauty treatment, given to the bride and groom by their family, for their forthcoming marriage.
Dadi’s analogy of the haldi ritual to modern day beauty parlours was great and meant good sense to the younger generation. In fact, Dadi’s explanation of how present day salons have picked up, adapted and modernised age old traditional use of AyerVedic herbs, roots and fruit extracts, as opposed to chemicals, to cleanse,remove and purify the body; is most appropriate to me a least. Dadi actually reminds viewers, how ancient user friendly, rather than harmful beauty therapies’ are still in use.I saw this segment as a plus point in the episode. Also Dadi as the senior most is seen in charge of delegating roles to key figures ,thus ensuring that family members both old and young feel includedand valued, in the ceremony.
In the dress mix up scene Rubina did not foresee that the matter would be defused by her own daughter. Rubina also did not foresee that the younger clan Kainat, Saltanat, Zaroon and Neelam would all cover up for each other! and more or less make the grownups look like a bunch of fussing party poopers! Almost nit picking! Which I have to say does happen in such occasions.
What was unforeseen by me was how all the younger crowd actually argued on Kianat’s behalf. While Kainat stayed mum.. her only interaction when she was sternly questioned by Dadi, was a sided glance at Neelam who not only lied but also took all the blame off Kainat’s head upon herself. Neelam‘s cover up for Kainat, clearly shows that Neelam also hides her own meeting with this Jibran Ayub bloke, for whom she is developing quite a liking for.
Kainat could foresee before hand, that Neelam would ger her out of this messy wrong dress mix up scenario,because Kainat could already see Neelam falling for the man. Thus Neelam would not drag the embarrassing issue, in fact she would resolve it briskly by redressing Kainat in the right outfit.
What is however unforeseen at this point by Mainjaan and the rest of the elders, is Kainat’s revulsion at being literally forced to wear the outfit sent by Humza! One can say that unforeseen panic does seems to take over her. For Kainat, in the privacy of her room, but company of her dead father..does vehemently, comes out with, possible self harming steps! that should Humza’s herbal paste even so as touch her skin she will burn the very areas where ever its applied to her body. Who can be Kainat’s saviour in this predicament?
Kainat’s mental illness is not unforeseen by me and I would say by most viewers too , as her body, heart and her soul only sees Zaroon as her groom and not Humza. But what is anticipated of her, is that she will pull all the strings she can think off, to her advantage. Aunt Sabina, already supports Kainat in her mission to stop her marriage to Humza and do the unforeseen! marry Zaroon the one her heart is set on instead?
Mamoon’s moody detachment from the whole affair was unforeseen by Ghazala, she expected that her husband would be supportive of the occasion as the two getting married are his brother and sisters children!But Mamoon moans because his plan to scoop the legacy looks more and more grim!
What was unforeseen, was the boxed ,well concealed gift! for Neelam from Jibran Ayub. A scrolled poetic thank you note. Seems the man is intoxicated by the scent of getting his hands on the dargah. The only way to get to the shrine, is to dab Neelam with the fragrance of his love.. he dreams of sensing her with the sweet smell of her presence on Kainat’s wedding day..
Will the herbal paste cleanse and purify Kainat in Humza’s name? Kainat sits through the dreaded ordeal and awaits the unforeseen for all.. but much anticipated arrival of her! aunt Sabina! She who will set her free from the burning ordeal Kainat has planned for herself.. 15.6.19 hamlet53
Precap: This marriage cannot take place! Unforeseen words, spoken by an unforeseen person.. Sabina comes prepared with proof to substantiate her claim before Mainjaan.. what are the contents of the scroll? That Kainat is already married? To whom? Sabina’s son? Or is Kainat Sabina’s daughter?
We know Sabina is no random visitor, as Nadeem referred to her as the woman his heart wanted to marry..but couldn’t! why not? looks like some unforeseen tension may arise between Rubina and Sabina. Not to mention the rocking that will occur in Zaroon’s boat!
But one thing is for sure..Kainat has some connections!
The show goes on. Me keen to know what twist this new trendy dame Sabina adds to the story! So another NRI added to the story! Thanks Lonelythots, Irshita, Arshian for keeping my posts alive . have a great weekend! Much love hammie!
many pardons for late post..WCC…..
