Phew managed to read each and every post on this thread in one go..finally..π
Jzee,anu,maz..brilliant as always..π
Well it is a bit late but I would like to add on that Mb was very sensible in a way when he actually warned Gulaal about the consequences of this DV after the bhang driven chotu kesu threw tantrums and came home demanding food to be served by his wife Gulaal.I remember Mb saying that Now Is Kesar is just 12..what will happen when he becomers 13,14 15,16..He will then interpret this relationship in his own understanding and terms.And the epic dialogue "tab tu kya karegi Gulaal"
And the classic ostrich Gulaal said that Kesar is still a bacha.Jzee I think Mb was a very sensible man and he also said that Gulaal can never understand because she is a woman.And I was reminded of his warning in the epic family scene post Talli marriage fiasco and kesar's confession where Kesar openly declares that Gulaal is leaving the house because he said that he loves her.OMG one master glare and stare by MB .He stood there silently ,gave a piercing look at Gulaal ..as if look ..I had warned you...π
Well don't know what exactly I am blabbering .But yes the story writing has been very crisp and we can relate all the scenes together.
Well My question is that what if Kesar was never sent to boarding school and he grew up with Gulaal .Would it be the same or maybe MB fears would be laid to rest.
Piyu all with you on MB's sensibility with regard to Gulaal, her DV decision, and its consequences that he could foresee unlike her.
My debate is only over MB's edge of Gulaal's welfare over Kesar's. That truly is, and shall be debatable. As an adult of 20 some years, if I look back at my 12 year old age, and find that decisions were made for me, keeping someone else a step higher in mind, than me - I could have issues with that. Of course Kesar doesn't - because hello, Gulaal being anyone's top priority is always thumbs up from him (oh everyone minus Dushyant π ) but I'm just talking about this in a more objective manner. As Nur pointed out, the decision wasn't solely for Gulaal's advantage but also for Kesar - I just feel Gulaal got MB's preference - but like you say too, what would have happened had Kesar not been packed off is almost a 50-50 chance.
Well - over his 'hate Gulaal' mode that is. Love Gulaal to hona hi tha - this way or that π But if he had stayed behind, would Gulaal have penetrated his silence and have him blurt out knowing the truth much sooner, so he didn't have to kill himself with the dilemma for a decade? I think she would have managed it - and I think that would have only added instance to his falling in love with her... So I think MB really didn't mistrust Gulaal for managing Kesar well enough, but feared, and rightly for Gulaal's sake at least, that her managing Kesar would only make things harder than ever for her... So to me it always appears he sent off Kesar, much more for Gulaal's sake, than Kesar's.
