May 20th: Memories of Amar Vyas (Page 6)

Aww Jzee, you are ever the romantic optimist...you really think it was due to Mohan's presence? Mujhe nahin lagta...Megha ko toh koi bhi chance do she will happily float off to Amar memory land...I don't think Mohan being there/not being there would have made any difference on that front...and the way the dialogues came out in that bit...all Mohan did was ask her if she's forgetting something from that day and the answer comes out pat from her that she can NEVER forget cuz EVERY memory is as fresh as yesterday.

The pain was very much there in the memories...but in that particular scene, it was about a STRONG affirmation...ki main KABHI nahin bhool sakti...and the accompanying smile held no hint of doubt whatsoever...Mohan beta tu kaam pe hi dhyaan lagaa and songs imagine karna band kar

Oh I also loved the symbolism of the lights being turned on...forgot to mention it...you've reminded me now...yes indeed that was lovely symbolism...that Mohan was the one to light up that darkness in the house as well as their lives.

Oh good point about the chappal and the hands, Pooja.

What I also loved was the symbolism of Papaji rudely declining Mohan's help while getting in the through the window but Mohan reaching out and steadying him nevertheless.

Thanks Anu Nice Post.

NBT type episode.in bus scene was so funny poor megha and FIL missing AMAR so much and mohan watching missing missing program and love it NBT new song.

On the other hand this might be the the most minority opinion right now that I'm going to state but I felt that Megha-Amar had sweet chemistry..

megha's life seems to have paused with the death of Amar.  and it was a very  very abrupt pause.  she did not have time for closure. she was just reacting to the incident.  a knee jerk reactions of sorts.  until she makes peace with the abruptness of that sudden pause she will not be able to close that chapter of her life and move on.  she is in a kind of limbo but because she  managing her responsibilities so capably and graciously that no one seems to notice.  except jiji.  I feel bad for her stuck like that so hopelessly in her past. its an awful thing to lose someone you love so early on in your life together and without a moment's notice.  regaining one's balance is often a hit  or miss.  Megha seems internally strong. she seems like someone who can regain that balance provided she choses to.

I have a feeling that Papaji is going to play a very important role in her getting from pause to play

he genuinely loves her for who she is not just because she is married into the family.

Yes, I agree...they were very much deeply in love...the chemistry was not forced at all in my opinion.
