TSMSPJ*ep.63*14.6.17: My Impression*watering down the sage..
Often to take the bite out of pressing issues one tends to unpick ways and attempts to water down, dilute or weaken a volatile situation. Water is one of the four elements referred to in this episode. Water seen as a purifying ablution agent is used by Kanak in the opening scene.
To conduct a wash out! Kanak reminds me of a naughty water nymph, all set to wash away rules and Uma's dedication both. It's his image of being a staunch and stalwart devotee that she intends to dent. There is no end to her mischief, as there is no dearth of funky ideas with Kanak. Under cover of giving the foliage a drink, she plays around with the hose, splatters, splashes the intensely reflective Uma. But her douching him down! turns out to be a washout! her clumsy slip and trip makes her end up in his arms! instead of the ground! Uma reminds her, she is the one who loses her balance and control! Kanak wonders how he shows restrains in every situation? He explains like others, he too is likely to be swept away by breaking rules. He chides her, if it's his rule of mediation she aimed to disturb. Then she should be aware that the nature of a rule does not change according to a situation. However adhering to one's rule in varied circumstances tests one's perseverance and discipline. While he casts words of wisdom, Kanak's water hose gets adventurous like her and they both stand face to face.. drenched under sprouts of water! Kanak, now comes out in the wash! as Uma clocks on to her water sport! She wonders , does he actually understands half the time? what he speaks? Curtly he replies, not this time as his ears are blocked with water! Her spunk contrasts with his faint efforts of veiled comic sobriety. Hence the element of tongue in cheek humour, and watered down romance too! Kanak's stance of proceeding to breaking rules is unmoved. She is hell bent, in this instance to give this man an inkling of the humiliation that Payal felt.
Golu's marriage is a hot topic at Rathi house. Vansh shows them a fast paced fishing for partners on the internet through matrimonial sites.! A compatible pair is matched, Golu and Rani a.k.a ..thunder and lightening! Have the gods destined these two to be married too They seem to be attracted towards each other.. but this wedlock may be watered down by Meenakhi's. Vansh is just ripe enough to be married. If only some one would think about him. But his importance in this area is diluted down by the presence of his older brother.. Ved! As for this young smart arm of the law.. what's in his heart is anybody's guess?
"Early to bed and early to rise ,makes a man/woman healthy "another rule followed in Uma's household. Far from easy for Kanak.. it is uncommon for her!but the necessity to feed her belly! Make it in time for breakfast! makes her beg for the heavy eyelids.. but sleep plays hide and seek with her.
She washed him well and proper! the tough man nearly catches his death by a chill! Maasi fusses around Uma. Kanak watches from the shadows, will he ? or won't he tell Maasi of how he caught a chill? He brushes it aside by telling her he was meditating, must have caught a cold! just following rules! he was.. Maasi smiles at his determination. Palomi gets the chance to win his trust, by being useful. A warm turmeric glass of milk. Uma downs it like a dose of medicine aimed at his chesty lungs! And not at his heart! The healing for his heart lies with his fragrance scented Kanak!
Sleep still miles away! Kanak tries counting sheep! 1,2.. but Uma's incessant sneezing , makes her loose her count and her concentration. All her plans to wash out his meditation by hosing off his concentration back fires on her now. How desperate she is to sleep! But his sneezing! wheezing! pushes back sleep from coming to her! Kanak moans if she cannot get a shut eye how on earth will she make it for breakfast? Uma , gives her pressure point treatment with his pincer grip on her ear lobe... calm sets in with her.Only to be agitated again by his atishoo!!she wants to help him.. can she? he invites her..only he wants her finger pressed against, the midpoint of his upper lip! She hesitates than presses above his top lip! anything for a quiet night! muses Kanak zzz..
Another episode that focuses on Kanak's attempts to break rules.. in this episode the butt of her attack is Uma's reflection.. Kanak's idea is to prompt some spiritual learning in him, some contemplation about the manner in which he punished Payal. With Kanak, jokes apart! Her challenge still is to break Uma's determination at keep to rules without the slightest wash off! Maasi still feels that Kanak carries within her the potential to crack rules! to judder the very cornerstone of this house. For if she cracks Uma.. the rules of this house will have tremors! then anarchy! Hamlet53 15.6.17
