Jab Kabhi: revisiting Virikavibe

Is jahaan mein koi mera ho bhi ya na ho

Har ek lamha bhar jayega.. Roshni se 

bas Agar tum saath ho..

ever since yesterday I was living the song and the uncanny relevance it has wrt this track.. The vm that I had requested Purva for virikavibe.. this very song finds another context but the essence of JV remains same

yesterday when the video played Viren turned for a second to look at Jeevika.. to see what her first reaction was.. Today when he saw both his mothers leave, he stood there with his head low.. no matter his innocence, he felt guilty of getting them to this juncture.. When Jeevika came to visit him. it was his inherent sense of shame for letting his family sit through this that made him ask the question more than the fear.. as Jeevika stumbled through her response he smiled at her shifting eyes.. the little hint of affection as he stared at her trying hard to maneuver was cute.. 

Jab Kabhi Baadal Chaaye Ya Ghani Barsaat Ho

Hogi Khushi Har Ek Boond Mein Agar Tu Saath Ho

he was reassured at that point that SHE was THERE.. right by him and almost out of that little sense of relief he let out- it didnt matter if no one believed him.. as long as She had faith in his honesty

Which gets me to WHY WON'T SHE?

The episode made me revisit the virikavibe and the write up I did for the 1st year wedding anniversary.. and I had then written the same.. JV's essence lies in- simplicity, companionship, SHHER UNDERSTANDING.. that stemmed from HONESTY and TRANSPARENCY.. 

while reading through Virikavibe.. I was smiling at how many time I re-iterated that it was more Viren's solid support.. that made the whole.. while J stumbled through her obstacles.. It was like someone wanted to give us the other end of the spectrum.. such that I sit down and continue Virikavibe.. but this time keeping Jeevika at the FULCRUM.. 

I am almost jittery to write.. hoping I do justice here. I have always been effusive and blatant about my liking of Viren's characterization.. but TODAY.. Jeevika stood ALONE.. JV was about Jeevika.. although viren's aura was with her throughout as the once docile, woman of few words took on each member of the family.. bared their lack of conviction and unfounded doubted.. and DEBATED like a Lawyer's wife.. putting logic where it was required.. My fave bit of reasoning was her telling Virat- the sudden turn of their conviction , till 2 days back their basis was V cant lie and thus he would have been responsible.. and now today when he is shouting his innocence its suddenly hard to believe.. 

rightly implied to each member- she held one point straight up- its not WHAT we perceive but What our PERCEPTION is that clouds our Vision

Jeevika was a wounded tigress today.. KD once again revelled in the opportunity and scope and had a field day with her range as an actor.. I knew I would enjoy this as soon as I saw her give the shrug and discomfort at Swamini's mere passing doubt.. I knew this was a winner of a sequence.. but VOILAAAA.. she switched between emotional breakdown, restlessness, dilemma, scourging for hope from one member to final outburst.. with an ease of a butter knife on a slice of cream cheese... I was jumping with excitement.. pumping invisible air hi5 at the moment she shut Manvi from even trying to open her idiotic gap.. and when she did.. LMAOOOO at the what is gonna happen if I went inside.. the hopeless attitude of the Wadera's was bad enough to be followed up with an inert piece of idiotic advice.. 

and THEN came my FAVE MOMENT.. I saw this bit 3 times.. coz It was just that unexpected.. flaring her nostrils.. Seething in anger.. CONSUMED by the ire inside her.. this was JEEVIKA.. we have seen her resilience before but not such active aggression.. this was a VISUAL TREAT.. to the point where she was choking, suffocating amidst the regressive minds of the family.. No hope.. DEFEAT staring at her 

Jab Kabhi ...Dil Ghabraye Dil Ghabraye

Saamne Maat Ho ...Jeet Ke Dikhlaonga 

Agar Tum Saath Ho

Although she ran out citing that she can't leave Viren alone in such times.. It was double edged.. it was more for her own flight.. of spirits.. she needed to breathe.. to live.. to think.. and to gain that STRENGTH.. and here came the full circle.. in the last 2 yrs through every challenge.. her intrinsic strength is Viren.. his aura.. his presence.. even now when its for him .. she needed his shelter.. one moment he followed in the direction of her thought that it could be all a set up.. Thats ALL SHE NEEDED.. to jump up instinctively.. towards her crusade.. time may be ticking but her spirit soared.. she had found her wings.. her courage.. 

only One goal in sight.. almost blinding her .. but she fled towards danger.. like a young fish takes to the sea.. 

ending with my believer mom's prosaic words- it takes STRENGTH and COURAGE to believe.. without a flinching doubt that a mind can raise (in this case collective minds).. And Courage She HAS

Cheers! Mrs Jeevika Viren Wadera.. 

Jab Kabhi Chand Na Ho Andheri Raat Ho

Darna woh Hoga Mujhko Agar Tu Saath Ho

P.S. As for KD.. A thing of beauty is a joy forever... and today the beauty of her acting prowess made me squeal with joy..mwaahhhh... scale the heights and sieze each day..
