Hey there all the lovely people
Eid Mubarak everyone!! May this blessed day bring happiness and joy today and everyday.
Apologies for being late in bringing this nonsense post. Keep reading.
It's a tricky world we live in..more than that the perspective each of has towards life or any situation. What is gold to one is just a yellow abhorrent metal to other. Diamond to one and just another over priced piece of glass to another. It's the priorities, the individual understanding and standing along with experience and longing which effects the thoughts process and eventually the perception is created.
Kanak had no interest in the pooja whatsoever, her eyes and mind stuck on Payal and her incomplete trapped existence, US gives no instructions to Payal, he continues the ritual and Payal follow by observing him. -- difference between Payal and Kanak. Kanak is sitting with her husband, yet she has no interest whatsoever.. her eyes are set on the pain of other broken being. Payal longs for her husband, because she is made to believe that she would be elementary is getting him back home.
Kanak takes Payal off to their happy place, the fountain in the courtyard. They splash water with their feet, when Payal comments on the beautiful anklets, payals perspective is that Kanak's husband brought her anklets which makes it all the more beautiful, the longing in her voice is obvious. Whereas Kanak sees them as chains, for she feeels a prisoner of US, shackles that inform US on all her activities. Kanak changes subject and asks Payal till when will she live like this? She ties to light a new ray of hope in Payal that there is more to life than this existence, and she cannot carry on with the mistakes of other, her parents when they got her married her as a child or when she came here to live like this. Kanak puts the word prince in her head and Payal is instantly reminded of Ved. There was no pretense by Kanak in front of Payal, her most true form came out, that sasural and in laws come with the husband as a package, and one cannot remain dependent on the in laws only, when there is no hope of husband on the horizon. The idea that we as a society have that a good family is required for the girl, what we don't compare and contrast is the groom, the guy who is make girl a part of his 'good family' the guy who is the connecting link between the girl and in laws. In laws can be mammoth support of a bahu, but they can never fulfill the vacuum of the husband. Life goes on and with it a person, it's up to the individual to find meaning of its existence, for everyone has a role to play, some end sooner and some age with time. It's the hope one must latch on to, for hope bring light to the darkest of times, but even hopes should have an expiration date, for over due hopes just makes one insane.
Kanak finds alcohol in US' lab, while she is packing medicine for his journey next day. She hatches a plan to get US intoxicated and get the truth out of him on how he trapped Bhabho in signing over the shop. -- notice the label, it written 'alcohol' in Hindi. To keep the ladies away from Madeira/sharab 😆
