The Ignoble Deeds of the Monster - 13th September 2012




Episode: 13th September 2012 : The Ignoble Deeds of the Monster



kya pata MAHABHARAT KI VENUE change ho rahi ho
Those were the words from the wise man Bittuji when he was asked by Radhaji what was the occassion of the party. True. How can he trust his chief to be a peace timer ? And now that chief's enemy has started showing her colors, how can he even imagine that peace will prevail even if it be a semblance of party amidst society's prominent people and hosted by eminent personality.


That put aside, I wanna talk about the beast himself. Jackie posts are about the Beast Palace. Madhubala calls her RK as the "jaanwar".  While I took the word in poetic and dramatic sense respectively, today for the first time, I feel like analysing Madhubala's jaanwar as seen from my eyes.

Agree. Who marries like that, making a mockery of rituals. Definitely not a jaanwar. Someone highly knowledgeable about rituals and yet making a blasphemy out of it. An impertinent man. A Bad-tameez. But was it a blasphemy in Rishabh Kundra's eyes ? 
No. Where there is no faith, there is no blasphemy.

Who makes his wedded wife, a servant and that too amongst the god-fearing, moral society ? Not a Man of the World. Won't his social prestige be at stake ? Then who is Rishabh Kundra ? Is he not a homo sapien, a social animal ? Is he above society and its conventions ? As an actor how much can he influence society and how much can he dictate. or put it correctly, how can he remain alone ? What sustains him ? Why everyone fears him ? Just because he has thugs waiting on him who can beat people to pulp at his express command ? So what is this being ? 

Satan - No. I have not seen him conjuring evil.
Animal - Definitely doesn't seem human animal. And any other animal ? Well, all animals of the jungle follow certain rules including the lonely cats like the lion, knowing its territory, its preys, and its smells.

Then what is he ?

When did Madhubala call him jaanwar ? I remember her saying on the next day of marriage when RK drags her with him from the hospital. I understood she said it out of spite. But actually I never bought it. Because in that situation, RK was not a jaanwar, he was a "Beraham", a merciless, pitiless man. If Madhu wanted him to call Jaanwar, she needed to specify which kind of jaanwar. Else I am confused man! which animal to pick.

And now as the antics continue between the Miyaan-Biwi, today's ploy from RK to turn her Biwi  into a waiter, it was totally to my distaste. I was like which husband does that. Biwi ki izzat gayi to gayi, Miyaan ki izzat ki bhi dhajjiyaan ud gayi !!  As a husband RK is equally losing respect when he is making fun of his wife.

Definitely this man is not a Insaan; human being. 
Definitely not a jaanwar; animal ?

Then what is he ? 
You know what the closest I could find is the Hindu mythological characters:
Rakshas, Shaitan, Haivan
Monster, Ogre, demon etcetera etcetera

Madhubala fears this monster. We can see that on her face when the RK monster roars.
But she didn't give a proper adjective to him.

And as for today, in today's venue of Mahabharat (RK's home rather than Kurukshetra), as the ammunition changed to flirtatious behavior, amour, effrontery from the so called "Jaanwar" RK towards his Madhubala in his so famous Madhushala, I couldn't make heads and tails of the specimen that RK is.

He was behaving, he was performing, he turned disgusting...all in all, Madhubala's un-specified jaanwar today seemed a Bandar to me. A menacing monkey.
Have you been tormented by a monkey ? I have been. Its scary.Ouch
