IP REDUX ; The Three Musketeer's !! (Page 5)

Hello Girls (and lone Boy!)

I liked today's episode; it was a visual treat. For a change, I loved the leads' costumes. The story is slowly unfolding' though the sudden jump from last night's episode grated.

Coming to the charecters' they are all flawed, aren't they?

Anjali'

Ever since the catastrophe involving you husband, you were broken, depressed, confused' I sympathized.

You were angry, devastated, and withdrawn' I sympathized.

You were clingy, possessive and selfish about your brother' I sympathized.

You were cold and accusative towards your sister-in-law, holding her responsible for your plight' I sympathized.

You made an effort to overcome it all' and I appreciated you.

But I think, now it is time you gathered yourself together. It is time you faced facts. Not that I am unsympathetic, but'

Your grown up, married brother calls you up and asks if it is okay with you if he spends the night with his legally wedded wife at her home, and you agreed. Still he came back to you, when he found out from you that you had made kheer with him in mind. He shared the kheer with you, spent time with you, shared your joy and assured you most sincerely of his lifelong support, love and protection.

And at the first whiff of prevarication, you are miffed with him' you tear up' and suspect him of abandoning you?

Grow up, dear! Go get a life, even if it is one with Shyam! Some mistakes are your own to make.

Go on, Anjali! Go for it!

Step out of your cocoon! Be free! Live!

 And get hurt! Else, you will never learn'

GOOD LUCK, Dear!

And we get to see Shyam' which will be a bonus'

Arnav

You were flawed right from the beginning and proud of it! That's what I loved about you' you knew your flaws and accepted them. Then you met her, Khushi and started to change' subconsciously at first and then you started making earnest efforts. But some things never change'

Your capacity to love'

For a man who boasts of not letting such foibles ruin you, your feelings towards those you love are simply immense' almost awe inspiring. You love, you protect, you smother'

Arnav, my dear boy, love is not just about control, it is about letting go'

Be it your sister or your wife, set them free. Give them the gift of free choice and wait patiently; with your arms and the doors to your golden heart wide open'

Have faith in your love. They will home in' if they love you, as truly as you deserved to be loved. All you have to do is wait.

But first, you have to set yourself free; by opening up to your near and dear. Just tell your wife how much you need her, how much you love her.

Tell your sister everything. You have protected her a bit too much. She is a woman grown. Tell her to what extent you have gone in the past for her sake and her sake alone; and to what extent you are willing to go in the future, if the need arises. Keep no secrets, at least no inflammable ones.

Khushi

Difficult, aren't you? Flighty, crazy girl that you are' you confuse me. Or is it because you are yourself confused? Your selfless nature, your penchant for sacrifice, your craving for acceptance'

Your propensity to lie'

Your meddlesome nature'

Your slowness to learn from your mistakes'

Why? Khushi, why?

Sometimes Khushi, it is in the best interests of everyone around you if for once in your life you decide to become selfless. You want to see everyone around you happy don't you? You think you can't be happy unless everyone around you is also not happy. Well, my dear, sometimes it works the other way round'

You can make others happy, simply by being happy yourself.

Go on!

Try it, my dear'

Spread the Sunshine!
