Swan song ....

IKRS Saturday 16^th July 2016 ep 306 My Take ~ Swan Song .. 

Referential description, a swan song is metaphorical  phrase that symbolises   a final  act ,performance,  or gesture undertaken   just before  retirement  or dying. The phrase stems from an  ancient Greece  legend where it was  held  that  swans  remain mute all their lives when compared to other birds that  sing. Swans  stay  silent, repose,  are at rest, whilst alive...yet just before  dying  they  break into song..  a beautiful mournful  tune that takes them to the end of their lives. It is a concept used poetically   in western literature . Although , many have queried the fact that the bird is incapable  of producing any melody  except hoarse sounds.. however  figuratively  and commonly  swan song  refers to the celebration of   a performer  who bids a fare well  ,thus the performer's final performance..by now you must have gathered  the reference  swansong  is angled towards Mishal Raheja  in his final performance  in  his current  serial .. Ishq ka rang safed.

The colour of his Ishq  is the finale  of a beautiful  relationship  with a widow  that culminated in marriage which now  hangs in space  undefined ..  not only he sings it but the whole world rings with it! what they once had  is no more. Viplav walks out of the ghetto. His  second wife, as usual is on the lookout for him turns up around  Dhani's house where she knew he would be hanging about. She draws his attention . But like always  Viplav walks past her like a zombie .. in a trance ,  Dhani  has decided she wants him not in her life.   Dhani , in her house  regrets not her words to viplav ,instead  she receives a phone call from Parshiya's friend from the hospital  with bad news! saving Parshiya seems very unlikely..dhani weeps inconsolably for Parshiya  the man who is  critical due to her messy affairs with that man Viplav..  

Dead to the world  now , how can one  survive without love,  his love that was pure ,white, untarnished? Now it's  as if nothing is there,  all is lost.. hard to believe ..there once was love  in his life? Kamini does what a wife  does ,picks up the  emotion dead  husband, drives him home . The sight of his bleeding head alarms  her.. He though is numb to everything around him.. Swamped he is, by one  lethal emotion,  she pushed him away.. Forever. Kamini wants to know who bashed him on the head? As if viplav cares..what does his head matter? He silently mourns the  death of his Ishq .  Kamini   blames  Dhani for his assault,  bends his ear she has been bad news  for him ever since she returned into his life..mocks him he did so much for her stayed in that filthy ghetto  and how did  Dhani  repay him  with insults! Plus she had him  banged  up in jail on a false charge, whilst she is the one who got him bailed out!  Dhani hates him, couldn't care less whether he lives or dies!  Kamini   strengths her case against Dhani! with taunts .. Hearbroken  Viplav  muses , Kamini  would never understand what he got out of staying in the  chawl.. In hindsight even now he accepts ,he gained those wonderful moments with  his flower fairy  vidha.. and a few with Dhani too.. Now all is lost yes..this  Kamini  taunts not,  she is right!  Dhani hates him.. Told him to  go from her life forever! viplav hurts..Kamini  fights her case before a mentally vacant  viplav.. She understands how he feels! cannot bear to see him suffer like  so .. As she loves him a lot! begs him to return to Banaras  with him!! Forget  Dhani!  Kamini pleads before a semi present viplav.. But her final words he hears and  responds ,like a man standing faraway on a dangerous precipice, one about to take the  plunge?, Viplav's spirit weeps.. He wants to be free.. From both!  Dhani   and  Kamini.. Its Viplav  he needs to be with.. For its Viplav who can only retrieve Viplav who stands on  a precarious  verge.. He needs air to breath! Ishq smothers him now! he needs to be free ..walk away Viplav.. Walkaway. His soul cries..  As if in a trance he  turns to  Kamini, bids the  driver to stop the car.. Yes Viplav decides, right now he ends his ride with Kamini! If Dhani can end her journey with him at the click of her fingers.. Then why he delays getting off  at this stop  in this moment in his life..but Viplav lost in love still has a bit of honour.. Tells  Kamini he needs time  out with himself to gather his thoughts..he wants from her now, a show of the love she claims..leave him be ,grant him space! prove her love for him.. love his son and family.. requests her not to follow him or look for him. Viplav opens the car door gets out and walks away.. looking for himself..The fun loving prankster!  the apple of every ones eyes in his family.he walks away.. where too Viplav knows not?? Name, fame, family all he has.. Viplav walks on..yes everything he has , but what has a man  got if none is there to love him?The color of his Ishq is a mute note..

Two knights both in a sorry state. One unconscious  due to seen sustained visible injuries. The other  pierced  with a smart that dispirits him.. alas   physical  wounds  heal, but a broken spirit kills gradually. Prayers take place for Parshiya's healing..  Dhani has a guilt complex..should he take a turn for the worse she will never forgive herself..Viplav  walks  away  but leaves a trail of questions  behind.  Kamini faces  his family.  reports the whole incident ,she had him there but then he got off and drifted off..   he wants her to look after Atharva and the family.. the family goes around in circles.. when will he return? Kamini feels the pressure! when she becomes the focal point of reference regards Viplav before his family..be the  accountable wife now  Kamini.. she hates it! blames it all on  Dhani ,vows to teach the woman a lesson! goes to ghetto! to bring Viplav home.

Viplav walks away.. but the two woman in his life past and present..meet to discuss  matters of mutual interest,him! The color  of  Dhani's  Ishq  is mute.. finally she took the right  step banned him from her life.. but  she cannot help recall that Parshiya  took Viplav's name and thus  Viplav's neck may  be on the line? But  no Dhani turns deaf to the symphonies of her heart.. the doctor comes and tells Dhani  Parshiya is serious..  Dhani is anxious who should she belief  Parshiya or  Viplav? One accuses and the other pleads innocent.

Kamini turns up and very nearly  insinuates  Dhani as a husband  snatcher ! demands  where Viplav  was?..how would she know Dhani is not Viplav's keeper and certainly  not after what she  saw five years ago!  Viplav as far as she's concerned now can live his life! and let her get on with hers!.. this is what new age Dhani thinks now.. the color of her ishq  is transparency... not only does she say it.. but let the whole world to see it now! Dhani... Dhani muses,  as she denies knowing about his whereabouts Kamini  loathes her guts now..mocks her   some woman she is ?  chased by two men... both  madly in love with her! one in hospital  while the other scours the  roads aimlessly..  so Dhani finds out  Viplav missing  since after he left this place... Dhani  snubs her.. she's his wife she needs to keep tabs on him as far as she is concerned   she  served him the divorce papers!  What  more is he expected to do?? Kamini the foxy woman gives   Dhani the answer ... she can help by marrying Parshiya!! That will stop Viplav in his tracks and force him to return home to his son and wife!!  Dhani clarifies she makes her own decisions... besides she is anxious about  Parshiya ..

Kamini finally sees hope.. in the form of  Parshiya's mother who comes to visit her son.. Kamini finds out from the mother that Parshiya is serious about Dhani.. she plans to get her son hitched  with Dhani..at last  Kamini finds  some hope for her  future  with her beloved  Viplav.. Dhani marrying Parshiya!  and Viplav all hers to have and to hold for the rest of her  life.. but Kamini  doesn't realize  that it's  now her turn to face separation.. Dhani has lived through her separation , she has more or less ended her waiting  for Viplav now.. but now its Kamini's turn  to face that parting..As  no one knows where Viplav is? or when he is likely  to return?  the color of Ishq is a question ? where is Viplav ?

Dear all..This for me too is a swan song  regards the takes.. Ishq on paper ends  here..  I shall watch it though .. just wanted to say a big thank you to all the Ishq forum members for allowing me to be  a part of this alive forum... thanks to the readers .. silent and all . hammie's joy was reading your comments.

UnRess.. ❤️

Hammie im speechless dear absolutely gobsmacked with ur brilliance... the title n the first paragraph is perfection.. ⭐️ the tribute to Mishal Raheja cannot be better than ths sweetheart. 😳 I certainly find myself lucky as I got to read ur post n yea thnx to Mishal n Ishq too as I got to see ur brilliant writings here.. u were the Mishaal of positivity fr me n so many of us here in ths Ishq journey dear.. 😳 will always remember ur contribution in Ishq n I want to hug u fr being outstanding always... 😃 hav learnt alot frm u.. wud definitely follow u on ur FFs now as I'm certainly addicted to ur writing.. n will definitely urge u to write on Viplov's journey too as we definitely believe that u cn do justice to Viplov,, the character vry closed to my heart bt he was never treated the way he should be..

The way u captured Viplov rather Mishal' s walk away is par excellence n Mishal nailed it in his last act too as Viplov, , he has never disappointed n I'm a proud fan indeed.. ⭐️ take a bow Mishal, , I'm a hard nut n its not easy fr me to feel something so deeply k my eyes become wet bt during ishq he has managed to crack ths nut time n again n so was during his last shot.. I was literally crying jst like ur Cuz's wife. It was unbearable the death or walk away of Viplov was nightmare n was not easy to handle fr any of us..!!

Hammie every good thing in life end fr something great.. we believe that wholly n I do believe his break wud b shorter.. n we ll meet pretty soon in Ishq of Mishal definitely.. till then wud def watch ishq as fr me to watch winning good over evil is vry necessary bt of course our interation will b in Mishal new show.. till then I respect u n love u fr everything u ve done fr ishq till now..
N now as u said ths last epi pic is brilliantly made by maker.. the pain n hurt is evident in his eyes.. hope u ll loved it.. will b last frm my side too..luv u..

Hammie, than you for enlightening us with your takes every single day!  Your diligence speaks volumes.  I've thoroughly enjoyed your interpretation of the episodes over the past 11 months.  I hope to read your takes on Mishal's next show soon! 😊

Hi Hammie,
Simply enamoured with which you pen down your thoughts! What a befitting title to bid adieu for yourself and Mishal who just like a swan glided with immense grace and humbly took us on this journey giving us much joy and insight...May I say, it has been a rare opportunity to share this journey with you who have simply astounded me with every thought you pen down and this song of Ishq we sang togather were really good times I shall always treasure...You have given us readers so much, no doubt you are by far the royal Sherni of this forum if I may say so, taking care of us and always holding the torch to show us the way...Hope this is not the final godbye we say to each other and that we shall meet again another time, another place in the not too distant future. God bless you abundantly and my gratitude for being such an awesome writer, love Kaju.

Thanks Hammie for the wonderful updates that you have given on ISHQ.

Wish to meet you soon in another Mishal Raheja show soon 😊Edited by sura123 - 7 years ago

Dear Hammie

helloo hammie😃🤗...its been long ...firstly i want to apologize for res in one of ur take and then taken ages to unres it..well abhi karna hai😆...see u tortoise reader has become more slow😆...mera hand back sab toot gaya hai aur dil bhi...the only option left for me was to read and like.Title says it all swan song mishal final act as viplav.I for once once avoided seeing after that vidhu bday episode as that dhani usual blame game fighting and that jail part was too much 😕...then read ur takes and decided to watch remaining episodes...such disastrous turn of events and this dhaani has irritated me the most ...she has always been such a weak communication link. Now she claims to be strong independent but with time she has become all the more dumb...the least she can do was atleast tell the reason ...she will learn her lesson hard way... she is equally involved in creating this mess and involved parshiya also. Viplav Tirpathi is my first realistic hero.. close to my heart ...it pains to see him lifeless and going like this without a proper ending and leaving us craving for that closure.
