Life has been so busy I wanna cry, really cry and the heat isnt helping either, I need a vacation - a long one to some really cold place high in the mountains where I would love to gorge on icecreams though it might kill me or at least give me a cold. I wanna treck some mountains, see some breathtaking beauty and lament why dont I see it everyday and then miss Mumbai đđđ
Okay sorry for that, but I needed to vent and also explain why I am late to edit đłđ and as always a lovely post with a beautiful collage
Now that I have that off my chest, what an apt title Gan - that scene has got to be one of the most beautiful and heartfelt moments of this show ever and it goes without saying that it is so gonna end up as one of the best IshRa moments for us fans that will be long remembered.
You know I have always felt that for us humans, feeling vulnerable has to be one of the most unpleasant and trying emotions of all to deal with Gan and it isnt just because of what we go through on an individual level but how we are made to feel about it.
Weakness in general is abhorred and unwanted, no one likes to feel vulnerable. No one relishes the thought of being perceived weak, of knowing they have an 'Achilles Heel' - though at the end of the day all of us are weak, the reason for our weaknesses may differ or be the same - but as humans we are bound to be weak, there' no getting around that.
Yet, being considered weak is detested, unliked and unwanted simply because we dont know how our weakness will be treated by others - most may laugh at it, while some may try to use it against us which is certainly not a pleasant idea.
Recently Raman Kumar Bhalla too underwent one of the most trying times humanly imaginable - he almost lost his kids and then his wife. It wasnt something that took genius to figure out how much the man loves them - the people who kidnapped his children knew of this weakness of his and then when he almost lost his mind thinking his wife is lost to him forever even complete strangers saw it, the way he reacted and was out of control. What however made a difference was in the way he expressed his vulnerability - to those people who saw him fall apart, he was a stranger as were they to him and what mattered to him didnt affect them and vice versa. These people saw him at perhaps his weakest moment and yet, yet no one came forward to help him and even if they did - it didnt matter to him nor did it make a difference to him, nothing could matter to him except her and the terrifying thought that took over his very soul, his existence - what if she is lost to him...so much so that the very man who as a father didnt let his kids see through his fear, reached out to his daughter so that she might help him revive his wife, the woman that is essential to them now as their lifeline...and yet nothing helped.
It was only when she woke up that he could overcome the darkness that was engulfing him, it was only her who let him feel peace at last.
I loved the way they wrote this entire scene and executed it really - from Raman sitting there almost lifeless and vacant as if the very will to live has been drained out of him because of the scare he had, the only reason he couldnt give up yet was her and his memories that he made with her willingly or unwillingly at that beginning from that encounter as neighbors when they were strangers to marrying her and later as slowly and steadily she became a part of his life, how she eased his pains, made his life joyful so much so that the man who had become indifferent to almost everyone or at least made it seem so was now enjoying his life as he participated in the small joys of life. From the no nonsense man that he was she transformed him into this lively man and it was all because of her love, her presence which made him feel cherished, loved, wanted and thinking that he could have lost her terrified him, how was he supposed to exist without her now...he could survive yes, but live, how could he do that - how was he supposed to smile and laugh again like he meant it if she were gone? What would he do and the moment she came around he expressed that to her in the simplest of terms, the easiest of words.
She saw his plight, his fear and so tried to lift his spirits by a joke, a tease but even that didnt matter - how could it when his fear was so palpable, so tangible...and so she diminished it in the only way she could - by reaching across to him, by letting him know with words and touches how she is around, how she will never leave him and when even that wasnt enough she knew he needed to believe in her and not just her words and so she opened her arms to him and he came willingly in a flash almost as he at last found his relief, his solace and peace - feeling her alive and breathing in his arms now, replacing the memory of that moment when she was almost lifeless as he held her and losing her at the same time. He felt her warmth and her heartbeat, but more than that he felt safe and loved, in the knowledge that she isnt leaving him, would never do so and the reason of his existence isnt lost to him and so at last finally looked at peace, at ease with himself as he allowed that feeling to wash over him as he could come out of that stupor that made him look like death warmed over him, making him close his eyes and bask in the soothing effect of her words, the warmth of her embrace, the love in her touch as she ran her hand through his hair and calmed him down...the rawness of that scene, the moment...it gave me goosebumps and frankly I have lost count of the number of times I have watched it and will do so too...
I came across this picture recently with these beautiful, beautiful words and think they go so well with this scene I am sharing it here... when i first thought of them it felt to me they fit Ishita' situation so well, as someone who survived death...but then again it felt that they go well for Raman who seemed like he would have died too had he lost Ishita...finally my mind concluded - these words actually cannot be just for Ishita or Raman but BOTH of them and I hope you do too đł
I dont know how much sense I have made all I know is - these two enchant me more and more everyday and for all my grievances with the show I am feeling so happy to have found it just because of them.
