After watching today's episode, I'm not surprised as to why
our forum's BP went through the roof! I think further discussing the epi will
only make things worse; so I'm not going to do that π. Instead of talking about
this nightmare of an episode, I think I will talk about something else. ...
Let's
see ... what shall I talk about ... maybe something that's completely different ... something completely opposite of this nightmare ... hmm ... what's the opposite of
nightmares? π€ ... dreams ... aha! That's it! I'll talk about dreams.
Dreams are nice. We all have them, so we can all relate to
them. Some of us dream of having gaadi, bungala, bank balance (but mere paas ... Maa hai! π€ͺ); others dream of glory, or awards, or Olympic medals βοΈ; yet others
dream about Katrina, Priyanka, Anushka, Kareena, Genelia, Bipasha, ... well ... you
get the point βΊοΈ (and for you ladies out there, I know you only dream of Anas π)! Dreams
are an important part of us, of our lives. It's what we strive towards, our
goal, our purpose. For some of us, the only reason for living is to see a
certain dream fulfilled! All this talk of dreams reminds me of the dreams of
some specific people:
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. This American civil
rights activist had a dream that became famous, thanks to his well-known
speech. He describes his dream in the speech: "I have a dream, that my four
little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by
the color of their skin but by the content of their character!" π Wow! Such
powerful words!
There was a young girl who had a dream. She dreamt of
serving her people, her country. She dreamt of fighting crime, establishing
justice, and purifying her nation. She dreamt of making her parents proud. A noble
dream indeed ππΌ, especially considering she was a girl living in a male-dominated
society that was plagued with gender discrimination π!
There was a mother who had a dream. She dreamt of a future
filled with happiness for her beloved son . She dreamt of a daughter-in-law that
will love his son and be capable of providing for him all the comforts of the
world. A daughter-in-law that will successfully manage her family and take care
of them through thick and thin. An ordinary dream, which almost every Indian
mother has. But a dream made noble, because her son truly was deserving of a
life filled with happiness !
Okay, okay ... I think you figured it out by now that I failed
in my promise to not talk about DABH (but before you turn the heavy artillery from
seelaks thread on me , please realize that I have to talk about DABH in this
forum; or else it would be against the rules π)! Anyways, I must come clean now;
my intention was to raise the question that Bhabho raised today: Is Bhabho's
dream somehow unequal to that of Sandhya's? Is her dream not worth being
fulfilled, simply because they are 'budhi aankhon ke berangeen sapne'? It's
clear that the two dreams are parallel; it's hard to see them happening
together, unless some compromise is reached. But why should one give up their dream
for someone else? We all have equal rights. The dreams mentioned above don't
break any legal or moral laws. Then why would one give up their dream to fulfill
another's? π
Now, it would be unfair of me to ask you a question and not
put any effort in trying to think of a possible answer. So before I make you do
all the work, I'll have a go at it. The one answer I could come up with was 'love' β€οΈ.
If you love a person so much that his/her dream takes precedence over yours,
and her/his happiness is what makes you happy, then it's quite easy to give in
and maybe even leave your dream behind. We see parents often doing this: they
might have dreamed for their child to have a certain career but if the child
dreams otherwise, the parents, out of unconditional love, will give up their own
dream. Likewise, Suraj had a dream similar to Bhabho's but he loves Sandhya soo
much
that he gave up his dream without hesitation . Also, Sandhya, among other
reasons, decided to give up her dream out of love for Suraj and Bhabho. Now
Bhabho, ... she might love her beendni (π² I know, it's a shocking possibility), but
she loves Suraj way more ! She knows that Suraj shared her dream, and she just
does not love Sandhya enough to give up her own dreams for her (sorry BhaSan fans π).
So now there are two possibilities: either Bhabho's love for Sandhya grows to a
point where she accepts Sandhya's dream; or (a more likely scenario) Suraj
convinces Bhabho that his dream is now the same as Sandhya's dream!
Thanks for bearing with the long post ; I look forward to
your answers to the question Bhabho and I posed above. Happy Weekend!
