Rimi a hearty thanks to you for writing this important review with much needed awareness regarding current track.. After months, I thought about writing reviews on BB episodes just yesterday.. But after seeing your reviews, I fell short of words.. You said it all beautifully. You have penned it down so delicately that a reader can feel the pain of a girl on those pre independence era… !! The title itself is a best and symbolism of our dark history..
Yepp!! Hats off to makers for bringing these sensitive issues into limelight which existed in our very own country where our ancestors in the name of customs and traditions pushed every girl into the hell of fire subconsciously owing to cherish happiness.. You can never heal completely. The scars will always stay behind, just to remind how cruel the time was once to you. But someday, you will learn to see beauty in the world that gave you these scars. And your eyes will shine with no lies in it. That day, you become beautiful. With bearing all the scars, Which you always tried to hide from everyone. Kudos to makers for showing this reality of women's destiny in a delicate yet subtle way. They clearly showed how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start, when memory plays an old tune on the heart!
It was cruel. Like opening a birdcage to let the bird fly out, whilst all the while it's tethered by the leg, and freedom is only an illusion.. In the four walls of customs and rituals, the girls have been imprisoned and caged all through these decades. Nature can be cruel. Predators are everywhere. Those who don't need to be protected from outside forces often need to be protected from themselves. In society, women are referred to as "the fairer gender". But in the wild, the female species can be far more ferocious than their male counterparts. Defending the nest is both our oldest and strongest instinct. And sometimes, it can also be the most gratifying.. All these years, girls ferociously taming themselves to keep
them alive amidst this brutal male chauvinism….
"Aapne hi kaha tha na Patibabu, Mahavari se kuchh nahi badalta... fir aap kyu aise badal gaye.." This line forecasted the cry out of an innocent heart whose mind is juggled with numerous questions.. Innocence tinctures all things with brightest hues. Sometimes unintentionally cruel is the worst cruel of all. And that's what society has been to girls those days. Within a period of dawn and dusk, a girl's life sets in forever forbidden darkness.. We've let the blade of our innocence dull over time, and it's only in innocence that you find any kind of magic, any kind of courage. But, here our Bondu's innocence is like a polished armour which will be adored and defended by his saviour ARC, a man who can draw his sword and slit the throat of his tormentor. This little kid is longing to understand the sudden changes in her life overnight, her questions are reliable but answers are still inconclusive..
People tend to forget the fact that The shedding of blood has historically been seen as a male act of heroism: from right-of-passage fistfights, to contact sports and combat. Infrequent, random events seen as standalone milestones; stories to tell once the pain - and enough time - has passed. Female bleeding is more mundane, more frequent, more getwithit, despite its existence being the reason that every single life begins.. They tend to forget that there's a right time for everything. They tend to forget that there is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. They tend to forget that Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own. That little kid is getting ready to pave her destiny to some undesirable destination.!! And sadistically those victims are paving way for another innocent predation with cheers!! I pity those young souls who are unaware of things happening to them in the name of rituals and guardians order.. Their desires are buried within their heart.
Yep!! Bondita, an innocent soul who always dreams of flying high, step ups to bring a change and set an example and who sings a melody of warriors are just now bound to cherish his husband's wish and happiness.. Mens who spike girls' desires to their wants, saying they're true assailants will be understatement.. Think of those girls who had never given wings to fly. !!!!
The world is little, people are little, human life is little. There is only one big thing - desire. Desire is the kind of thing that eats you and leaves you starving. People quickly change their desires as circumstances change.. The people who always shut girls' spell of words saying that they're kids all of a sudden want the same girl to walk past the most difficult pasteurs of life.. Wants young girls to dump under the desires of mens to bear some peace. Desire is a powerful force that can be used to make things happen. And for the sake of their ruthless desires, they want girls like Bondita to give up their happiness to stimulate others' wishes..
The saddest tragedy is that the biggest pains we receive from our cherished circles. They love and live with us but fail to endure the pain of each other.. Kaka and the entire RC's love Bondita but they want the little soul to get dwell under their dreams and wishes.. They tend to mould nature according to their wills in case of girls and demould nature's will for mens.. These are some prejudices that existed before.. Still, today men's success is rated with his achievements and women's by their rate of keeping their family happy but their sacrifices are not measured in fact not even accountable.. Here, Kaka wants children from Bon as the cause of her life and happiness.
"Sajne me bahut khushi hoti hai, par baad me jo hota hai, saari khushi gayab ho jaati hai" , this line from the girl who was already a victim of such cruelty portrayed the sad reality of that era where's girls minds were dwelled with sweet and unknown fantasies and allow their innocent soul to get cremated in the lust of others desires and quest. Bondu is getting ready happily, unaware of the fact that people giggling around her are the ones who will push her to the grievous grave where her happiness will be buried within the falls of miseries. She is unaware of the fact that her hallucinations of flying high are going to get tore into ashes of tears and repentance forever. Kudos to Aura for portraying this very well beyond excellence..
Yesss!! The episode is uncomfortable and disturbing to watch with those dialogues being dictated to a girl who is unaware of anything happening around.. We looked and encountered the episode with our mindset and present era.. On the other hand, it's a really bitter truth that the girls of the same age were made to sit in the same venture all deck up only to sacrifice their childhood, happiness, dreams and cremate their soul and aspirations entrapped by others imperations.. We can't even imagine those girls' worries and agonies.. Fortunately, we are not in that darkness.. But the question is, even after decades and independence, are girls allowed to fly free? Are girls' aspirations reaching their destination?? Are girls secure in their places? Are girls allowed to be artists of their own picture, writers of their own story??? The Answer is NO…
Societies and communities change, dictionaries are rewritten; people and ideas die off. The point is for us to develop so much that when we outgrow the awareness of the community, we willfully reach back to pull others forward with our knowledge. When this will be established, then girls can fly high flapping their wings high owning their dreams…… … ..
Sorry for the long post!! 🤗
