---EDIT--
Lovely, lovely post on a much needed episode that helped cleanse our sense of doom, if only for a while. The collages, all of them, are so wonderful... ISHRARU after so very long. Back to the heart of the show, and the little angel that stole all our hearts.
Honestly, I simply can't think of anything to say that has not yet been said, and much better too, by other posters; especially about the ISHRARU scenes.
There are two there aspects of the episode I appreciated as much as the ISHRARU and MiMi scenes.
Firstly, Simmi and Romi and their care and concern for Ishu and desire to help her. Whatever their plan is and however it turn out , let's take a moment to appreciate how far they have both come in the way they relate to Mihika and Ishu respectively. That Romi wants to help Miku because she is such a bad state, that Simmi wants to ease Ishu's worry- this is true character growth. This is a slice of life. Because all of us do go through these instances where we learn from our mistakes and grow. Tthese Bhallla siblings are slowly stealing my heart as they show us once again that they truly are RKB's little siblings. And again I can see how they must have been as children. If only the forgotten child, Rinki , would return so we can get the full Bhalla- Iyer clan effect. 😉
I sincerely hope there is no back-step in this character development. Family is power, family is strength, and these scenes give me hope for the future track. Because JKR is definitely going to need her family, all of her family, to save their family, marriage and most especially Raman himself from being buried from the weight of RKB's ludicrous [self] sacrifice.
As well, I truly appreciated that today we got to see so many different aspects of RKB. With the limited presence of Raman on our screens these past episodes, today was a real treat. We got to see him in all his various roles- brother, husband, father and son. How wonderful it was to see him at his best, consoling, reuniting, loving, laughing and enjoying his family. Watching him today, I thought of the initial days of YHM -of the cold hearted RKB who distanced himself from everyone and barely interacted with his loved ones. What a difference a woman, the woman makes I suppose.
All his lines in his differing avatars revealed a lot about the core of this amazing man- there is just one line i have an issue with. When he refers to Ruhi as a reflection of Ishu- she is undoubtedly that; but she is also a reflection of the kindness and goodness of Raman- that he can't see himself in her, his goodness in her, certainly indicates to me that perhaps that's something he can't acknowledge fully in himself as well. That's how damaged he is. And that's what will lead to the upcoming track.
So maybe the track is needed not just to illustrate the strength of ISHRA's relationship but to allow for Raman to finally shed the weight of his past and the self doubts and misconceptions it has instilled in him so that the man that comes out at the other end of the track is one who recognizes his own worth and value outside of that as provider- who sees the same characteristics in himself that he sees in his wife and their daughter. May he finally accept that as much as he is Raavan Kumar and RKB; at heart, at root, he is, was, and always will be Raman.
