Hey there all the lovely people!!
Apologies for being late!! Just saw the episode and here is my nonsense post - you all must think I am crazy but blimey I am just weird.
Direct to discussion
When a storm threatens to bring in dust, debris from outside, the first reaction is to close windows n doors... to save the house from being dirty/destroyed. The storm howled and Kanak closed the door not once but many a time, her effort to keep the destruction at bay - her attempt to save Saras from the fate that has be written/ordered for her. But it's the same storm created by blind dharm which brings her to the light of actual dharm. The winds rustle the pages of a book and the divine sanket comes for Kanak, for the signs are always there, one just need to be courageous enough to read into it and apply it. - Suman comes fuel Kanak's mission with misery of her own, she adds insult to injury that the girls in this house have no future, they have no dreams which can ever be fulfilled, she laments the fact that saras the most purest of them has to suffer such consequences, Suman wonders what would happen to her, because she ain't that pious.
Massi and her lieutenant are discussing the next play in their petty games, - Massi has more trust on Vansh being successful in his mission to marry saras, than Massi has on Uma. Uma for her is a silent volcano, who despite being silent if n when erupted can bring devastation for them. Uma tells Massi that he is planning an "utsav the day saras is to leave - No matter what blind dharm that is, no matter how easy or painful the path is going to be but the current atmosphere in the house is of sadness, everyone is heartbroken and in that time Uma thinks of having a party with other sevaks of BBG - he could have rather rubbed red chili in the eyes, why torture by making a funeral into homecoming party.
Kanak reveals her plans to Massi that she intends to teach Uma the actual dharm by her little play "Krishna and rukmini vivah, Kanak wonders who taught Uma all the wrong dharm - the restless expressions/gestures Massi had, presents an interesting perspective... there is definitely some kind of back story to her, the whole idea of Uma being taught dharm by her and why is he so hard. - I understand he is a grown up man, who should have a brain of his own, but when he didn't get the exposure to the other side of the coin, the idea never occurred to him, that's more of him being ignorant than ruthless, he is more naive than heartless, more illiterate than learned - learning opens up horizons unknown, unexpected, unexplored, to create a balanced approach towards negative and positive things in life, a better understanding- here Uma is considered to be most learned man, but he himself resides in the darkest of caves, it's the darkest beneath the lamp.
Uma meets Saras and tells her that tomorrow she would have to give up her favorite food, she would have to beg and accept whatever she gets - the concept of asking alms has always baffled me, why doesn't a healthy human being earn, rather than go door to door and ask alms. Why not earn if only for food. Is earning fair wages also a sin 😕
Uma sees her injured hand and asks her to come along he would apply medicine on it, she takes back her hand and says she applied salt already - a brother who had over protected his little sister to the extent of suffering, today pulled back her hand, her brother no longer capable of saving her, no longer eligible to tend to her wounds... he had protected her from the world, and he gave up that same sister for the world, Uma is conflicted... the voices ring through his head,of saras' acceptance and Kanak's questions, he injured his own hand, the pain he couldn't express he inflicted on himself.
