Hey there all the lovely people!!
I got caught up in stuff. So here is a short insight towards the episode.
It might seem a silly simple episode, but there is more to that meets the eye.
US is a man with little needs, he is the icon of minimalism on tv right now. A guy who uses self powered cycle, conserves water, doesn't use much electrical items.. he is perfect representative for the climate change.
Ride of life is like a two wheel cycle, it needs effort, strength and balance. US and Kanak had a literal ride today, Kanak is visibly uncomfortable by the proximity, of her placement in front of him, in his arms, in his life. They are doing fine, until Kanak's attention is diverted towards her goal of the day, pait pooja-- chaat pakore shop. The moment her attention is diverted, she plots her escape from US.. she tires to unbalance the cycle and together they have a great fall. Kanak is on top of him, this is her little victory, that in their equation she is at the top for the moment. They try to get up, but slip, and the positions change, US is on top -- this is the dynamics of their relationship, they both are going to create situations where one is winning, but that moment can be turned, by one little slip and anyone of them can be at the top again. Thing noticeable here is that although US might evidently have an upper hand, the ending say in everything, Kanak is going to slip away, her little escape would make his victory a little more sweet or bitter. However he might win, Kanak would have a hand in it, her revolt would live. Hence as US said, they both went to the mandir, yet they got different prasad-- it's their individual priorities that would shape up their life.
Another things prevalent here is the hypocrisy of the society, US and Kanak fall in the middle of the market, but nobody bats an eye, nobody stops. But when amid the festival Kanak fell in US' arms it was a dharm sankat, everyone had something to say... their questions made US take the instant marriage proposal.. but it doesn't matter today. The char log theory is used only when drama is to be created.
Thank you.
