Hey there all the lovely people!
Today's post is not a discussion but ranting, my complaint and my questions.
It's like comparing apples to oranges, day with Night and light with darkness - two mistakes cannot be compared and contrasted on the same level... Uma and Kanak both have done wrong... Uma's first step towards Kanak was a wrong one - had his faith been so strong he wouldn't have done that mistake.. Kanak on the other hand did whatever she could to get her hands on the shop, she betrayed she cheated she lied - and with whole hearted guilt she confessed her crime. But she cannot measure her crime in the same scale as of Uma's... Kanak says that she was living in that house with her own free will, she could have run away, but she ill treated Uma for a mistake he hadn't done, she punished him all due to her misunderstanding of certain events -- yes Kanak you were wrong to do so, but your confession shouldn't let Uma go unpunished. Punishment or not atleast acknowledgement should have happened.
Babasa today brings up that he married her without consent to which Kanak counters that she lived with her own will there, Uma has always apologized for the circumstances of the marriage not of the marriage, will his character development ever come? What else should have had happened to make him realize the gravity of the crime he committed. Girl is nobody's property that can be picked up at random on the sanket of God, married to and placed rightfully at home. When will the people be educated on the right to consent, yes today Kanak is accepting Uma, she has developed feeling for him and his family, she is the all sanskari bhartiya nari, she believes in building rather than breaking -- but is it alway this easy, is it easy to forget how things happened, what would you tell your children that your dad married me forcefully, would be able to tell that tale without hesitation, Kanak said yesterday that physical wounds are healed with time but the wounds on the soul remains unhealed, is her soul ready to accept him as he is?? .. Is registering a complaint and then taking it back because guilt is weighing one down, you bail out your kidnapper/husband and he doesn't even say thank you, he still doesn't realize his error, he picks up the duppata and wraps it around you and there goes everything flying away in the wind, all logic entangled in the wet hair blown away.
Is this the new soch, making do with whatever happens?? The jail trip was supposed to be an eye opener for Uma, but fortune flipped and Kanak ended up on the road to acceptance...
Apologies for my babbling, it seems like expectations from a fiction hurts and I never seem to learn from my mistakes either.
