thanks chitra, that was an astounding and most generous comment...
you felt what i felt about anjali. you know this other girl thing sort of was roaming in my mind, pretty early in, i knew shyam would be using her to get another free boarding lodging scene, i also knew asr will figure it out along the way.
when i wrote anjali also came with khushi, i had no roe for her clearly in my head... then as i wrote, it came... her letting go of shyam... her figuring out there was something the other girl also suffered in shyam's hand.
the way they showed anjali get over shyam in a jiffy... abnormal. okay, sometimes, just to cope we may do bizarre things, but it does tell on us, eat away at us. she did love shyam truly... he was the first and only man in her life and he did make her deliriously happy. i know women who have lived with alcoholics and wife beaters and womanisers just because maybe one of those three conditions were met. here she let him go finally i believe because he killed her child, but surely something lingered? even if it was a wrtetched feeling, one full of shaame and horror?
after this break of almost a year, after putting some self worth back into her life with that management class and involvement with ar, she saw shyam possibly clearly for what he was... a nothing. and let the feelings go... i don't know... but i hope it was a major inflection point in her life.
shatir he is. no cliche... that's our man.
that "cleansing"... after you bury or cremate someone, you are supposed to bathe... i had a feeling of that as i wrote. that and a terrible numbness in him. it's all been too much. yes he certainly did not want that filthy an's anything to taint her in any way.
thank you so much.
that faith in me... awww... mmm uuummm, ami kintu ekdom writer writer noi... golpo lekhar cheshta kori.
i will most probably go for shondhi pujo... if you're in town and coming, do let me know, we'll find some mami ji detectiviya way to find each other. π³
I just had to reply...π
@BOLD RED Murder of passion? Certainly!!!!!
That, in fact was something I wanted to write in my earlier comment, but left off...bcos I did not want to start a passionate debate on it..the man certainly was hot-blooded, not cold-blooded, NEVER...π...THAT would set us off on another tangent entirely, I think...π
@BOLD BLUE
Yes, they did not do justice to Anjali, Arnav's broken sister...so so true...almost unnatural, the way they showed her getting over a lost baby...or maybe, that was another one of those concealing layers she wore...to hide away what she did not want to really accept, to hide away the pain, not truly ready to face it...imperfection, in what she had striven to make a "perfect life"
So many layers, this woman had...what a character, if they had only dared to explore...alas!
The cleansing...exactly - death of evil...still leaves lingering traces...that bath, so symbolic...purification...
I just might pop in for Pujo...
not very sure though
Will PM you if I am coming...
