Kanhaaji and his tests on Mishbir

THE ASCENT OF THE TITANS

One of the final quotes from HBO's Chernobyl that is very relatable to today's World:

"When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there, but it is still there. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid."

The noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower. The noble one produces aspiration and the vulgar man, ambition which is the way Varun is headed.

The earth has a limit

The mountain, the sea;

The deep thoughts of kings are

Without boundary.

This is the true royal nature of Abir; he comes and helps Nirmala Soni and Varun when he sees them sad, supports them and offers them worthwhile advice. He thinks and rules like the king.

This vulgar ambition of revenge makes Varun, a liar and cheat and he hides the truth in his heart about his brother and like a juggler speaks an entirely different version of "his concocted truth". He is boxing himself in to cut all goodwill off Abir. The Sonis create a scenario where they plan to throw Abir, off course but little do they know of the wisdom, innovation and wit of Abir Rajvansh.

"Varun is foolish and seeks happiness in the distance but Abir is wise and grows it under his feet." Varun and Nirmala Soni are trying to make Mishti accountable for Karan's death Without proof.

Abir doesn't frame anyone without proof. He investigates and then wrings the culprit dry. He suspects Kuhu but does not accuse her of desecrating the dolls. He looks for the dots, connects them and then catches the offender red handed in their vulgar act.

He is a TITAN. The Titans were the former gods, the generation of gods preceding the Olympians in the Greek Mythology. They were known for their strength both mental and physical. As birds of the same feather flock together, Rajvansh Household will soon witness the welcome of other Titans to join Abir – Bade Papa and Badi Maa and together with Kunal and Parul Maasi they will work to protecting Mishti and their family. I do miss the golmatol Titan Jugnu.

Kuhu should tell Kunal whatever she has done. It is a rule that a cannon should be 100 times heavier than its ball or projectile. A person's character should be 100 times heavier than what she/he says. Just consoling Abir, that you will find the culprit is not going to win you back into the bro band, Kuhu. Why would he come to you for help when you have betrayed him?

You have to start by ''fessing up to your husband about all your retractions small and big and then take it from there. Instead you are still asking him to "frown" at Mishti.

Frowning at Mishti will cause his bhai to frown too and that's the last thing Kunal wants. The most beautiful dialogue of the day was:

"Yeh jo smile hai na sunshine waali...Iskey bina ghar mein andhera ho jaayega bhai...You can't go..." (Yes, Kunal we agree bro, we go gaga when Shaheer smiles/ laughs...we want to freeze him on our screens and hearts forever !!)

On a personal note, I always sing the sunshine song when he smiles:

You're my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey...

Please don't take my sunshine away
