G, Loved the quote! What an apt fit for the episode and your collage!
What a heart breaking but a necessary episode. We saw an aspect of marriage that is ugly, messy and very unflattering but is part of reality. There was a glimpse of possessiveness, ownership, rights and relationship boundaries in Ishra's relationship.
Raman started spewing words of possessiveness and ownership as soon as he saw his Ishita with someone else. All of a sudden Ishita become meri biwi, and he became a husband up all night looking for HIS wife, funny how he didn't even realize when Ruhi's Ishima became HIS wife. The wife he thinks he owns because now she has became an object, that is threatened to be whisked away by a stranger. Ishita now has became a thing' he wants to own, an exclusive thing he wants to himself, and a thing he wants to love. Puttar needs to realize love isn't a commodity he can own, he needs to feel it and express it.
Ishita, obviously is in love with her husband but is so hurt that her ego takes precedence over the calm and composed wife. With disgust in her eyes, she refuses to even look at his eyes, she sees him speak words but nothing registers because she is so preoccupied by the hurt.
Last night, a lot of talking was done at each other instead of talking to each other; as soon as these unfortunate lovers start talking TO each other the misunderstandings will vanish.
"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." - George Bernard Shaw
Let's hope they talk to each other today!
