Today's extra dose had a beautiful scene between Rashmi and Devoleena. They were sitting next to each other and Rashmi was talking about one of Devo's statements that had hurt her.
Rashmi - Yahan pe mai tere saath sabse close hoon to jab unhi ke statements tu bolegi to uska value zyada badh jaayega.
Devo - Par Rashmi mujhe jo lagega vo mai nahi bolungi to kaise chalega?
Rashmi - To baby tu mujhe personally bol na.
Devo - Maine bola hai tujhe personally bhi.
Rashmi - Kabhi kabhi tu aise bolti hai to mujhe hurt feel hota hai.
Throughout this convo both of them maintained a calm tone, Rashmi focused on what Devo's actions made her feel, Devo didn't immediately get defensive, they gave each other the time to say their piece, and listened patiently.
Now if we compare this to the other prominent duo Sidharth-Asim, the reason their friendship reached the point of having a violent argument for hours becomes even clearer. Asim never really voiced his issues (like the cream, ring problem) and on the rare occasion that he spoke up Sid would jump to the defence (let's play solo, etc). They kept sweeping their problems under the rug so eventually these little problems added up and exploded.
Unke jhagde ya disagreement suljhane ki koshishein always involve impatience, listening to responsd as opposed to listening to understand, raised voices and a lack of accountability.
These recent taunts and arguments over the silliest issues (like a soapđ¤) are just a manifestation of all the hurt and resentment they feel right now. Had they just had mature, heart-to-hearts since the beginning this wouldn't have happened at all.
Disclaimer - I may or may not like their individual personalities and gameplay but I've always admired their friendship. The purpose of this post isn't to throw shade at any of them. I'm not saying that Rashmi and Devoleena are perfect nor am I implying that Sidharth and Asim are awful people. Also, I'm not talking about how much content they deliver. This post is only about their conflict resolution skills and not how they are as people or as gamers.đ
