Basic nature

Nimboli's ignorance and Pooja's awareness.

They both present contrasts.

Nimboli may belong to certain females who are somewhat frigid. And they are not dumb just because they are not interested. Many girls get so immersed in studies that they dont have time for these thoughts at all. And then careers. I see many women not married because they are interested in other things like education, careers, social activism, taking care of old parents etc.
So I dont find Nimboli as anything dumb or too childish.

As for Pooja, she is a contrast. She fell in love and forgot her other responsibilities.Like education, career and her own mother. But basically she is a nice girl and that quality will help her in getting back to her education and career. And Mannu also is a good guy at heart.

In future I would like to see a strong bond between Nimboli, mannu and Pooja.

They are the future. They may commit mistakes but they wont commit crimes.

Children develop curiosity about opposite gender etc when they are about Nandini's age and they may start getting attracted to them.

Nimboli's nature in itself is in contrast with her own behaviour. She talks sometimes as if she is 5 years old and at another time as if she is a grandmother already. I don't think Nimboli can be termed as frigid. Creatives just want to portray her as innocence. She is not immersed in studies - she is very well aware of the family dynamics - her own home - then her married friend, the ladies of the village she interact with routinely. Here I'm not even talking about her attraction towards opposite sex. It is about awareness about what marriage is all about (I so wish they do not make her wonder next how children are born - at least a few children may have born in the last few years). Girls in village society are generally more aware in these things because they have fewer opportunities such as studies, games etc. Their entertainment is more about interaction with fellow girls/ladies. Nimboli seems very artificial to me (not about actor - she is cute and is doing what she is asked to do).

About how children are born. Most children are made not to ask such a question. and sometimes they are told the stork left them or some such things. Parents are too uncomfortable to answer such questions. Children are also told that they will come to know when the right time comes and now concentrate on studies.
As for Nimboli, she is a village girl but she is not mingling with girls who can tell her these things. I wish her friend atleast discussed these things with her.
Pooja may get punishment or not I dont know. Dadisa who committed far greater crimes was never punished.

If Nimboli meets a person like Gopal, she may fall in love.

Many married women in India just are passive and they keep their husbands away on some pretext after their children are grown up.

This maybe due to the fact that sexual behaviour is suppressed and viewed as something dirty and necessary evil.

Nimboli is free to go any where - she interacts with other girls/ladies whenever she goes out. She can even ''punish her friend's mother-in-law. How can we say that Nimboli does not have anyone to discuss?

Nimboli has only one friend of her age we have seen. That friend is worried about her torture. Where is the time to discuss these things? Now she wants to discuss these things with Mangala. Let us see if Mangala tells her something.

And how far anyone go in explaining these things without awakening unnecessary curiosity?

Don't think Mangala will discuss such things - even mothers don't discuss in village society. One of the village ladies may discuss - Nimboli is too friendly with all of them - or was these scenes inserted to show how cute she is? Had she been confined to her home only - then we could say that she has no one to discuss. Creatives always show contradicting things.
