Chakor...You feared, teared so did I... but..but.. I saw YOU
Late as usual I am but I could not contain myself in doing a post for Meera...
Oh My God, what is she made of, I saw completely a different Chakor yesterday, a mother who was equally vulnerable as her daughter.
Her daughter was caught in fear in seeing the enemy, while the mother caught in fear hearing the enemy.
What a modulation, that expression, exasperation, the fear, tear the quick thought of all the bad things reeling before her when the ruthless villain (a 100 marks to new villain. Excellent, slicy, icy after a looong time had shivers looking at him) said I will sell your daughter who will be pieced down by many hands. A jitter went through my spine.
The helplessness in her face, can she afford to loose her child, the child which she got back after seven long years not to be killed but to be lost that too in an unimaginable state and the shock when he said I will send the money made out of her (gossh I completely felt numb, sick hearing that).
The way she ran, the way she shouted I cannot live without you Anjor, the urge to get to her daughter and the way she succumbed to him I will give you everything, I will be a good mother... All she wanted is her daughter safe, unscathed.
Chakor, the epitome of courage, who never fears for her life, for anything but I did not see that eagle, that tigress but I saw a vulnerable sparrow, a meeky cat who just wants its nestling, its kitten to be in its arms, for that is the safe place. She just wanted to take Anjor away from this ruthless world, scary vultures who were ready to pounce on the innocent child...she does not want her child to be preyed!
The way she ran, the urge to get to her daughter, her Haveli is no safe, nothing is safe...
The moment she heard Anjor is in the store room, the change of her expression, is she safe there, what did he do to her, she ran ran so did I too praying but that second she stood and that peep from the balcony I had a small streak of smile, ALAS NO MY TIGRESS, MY EAGLE is not lost completely, she wanted to catch glimpse of that ruthless guy... Yes I too stood up though my heart was pounding me, shouting go Chakor get to Anjor...
The way she searched for Anjor and that little noise, shocked to see her daughter mouth tied and hands and legs tied... shock... fear, and in matter of seconds she took her child, that child was traumatized (samriddhi was good) hugging her mom so tight, fearing, woh bhura aadmi mummy... Oh god the child is in trauma, she just wanted to go into her mom, into her not to be harmed, not to be preyed.. Chakor was brilliant, she herself in trauma but gave Anjor the comfort as she is there nothing will befall on her daughter but has that fear that even the so called fort like Haveli is no safe now.
She pacified Anjor, giving her the confidence that the man will not dare raise his eyes on her... But the next line with so much hesitation she asked that line, "did he do anything to you, showed the vulnerability of an agonized mother, the plight of a vulnerable child in the society, when a stranger is there how much needs to be thought about...This line cringed me, the safety of a child, the vulnerability of a child is at stake... She was calmed when Anjor said he tied her hands and legs and closed her mouth... the child told what happened to her least realizing that her mother is indeed relieved hearing this... yes she was tied...thankfully.
I too feared, teared along with mumma Chakor...
I too feared, teared if my Eagle will become a sparrow
I too feared, teared if my Tigress will become a meeky cat
But No ... That peep from that Balcony made me happy, made me wipe my tears
YES
My Eagle, My Tigress will be back with a bang along with HER MAN to take the predators to task.
Meera was astounding, aced, she did not bring the shade of the courageous Chakor anywhere but brought out that vulnerable Chakor...
WoW... Indeed Women of Wonder...
