Congrats!! Dr. Sareeta. Ooooooooooooh I love the sound of that!!! Dr Sareeta *says it aloud several times to create Echo effect! 😆* Usually dont even touch the DOTW section, but read somewhere you were busy replying so just rushed in here to read your answers 😃 Oh bless mah soul... how nice of yah!!! Loved reading your answers to the questions. Most enjoyable. Aww, thank you!!!
You boring!! that is the understatement of the year. Aaaah, wait until you meet me... Ginak.... you'd change that I tell ya!! My wise friends dont call boring for nothing... 😆Anyone who is in love with life and at peace with herself will be a delightful person. Awww, you humble me!! Like Aarti says guys dont know what they are missing out!!! All the guys out there... listen up!!! 😆
Now for some questions: Sure ! Sure! Sure!!!
1. What do you like about Bangalore? (Btw I stay in Bangalore too!!) Ooh Lovely....we should meet up sometime!! What I like abt Bangalore.... hmmm.... I love the weather , and the laid back life .... and the fact that this city has given a new dimension to my persona... coz I came in here to the city... during my last years of school and spent my teen life here!! This city jus brings out the true essence of me... the typical... traveller... independent and with a wandering mind.... something about this city... calms me..
2. Would love to read your take on Dr. Shubhankar and his character.
Well Dr Shubankar's character has been limited so far to the smiling cardiologist , who while treating his patients has set off the heart of a young intern racing at abnormal rate and quite unaware of it!!! Much to my disappointment , I wonder how he failed to see the effect his conversations were having on the young intern , who seemed clearly smitten by him..
And even much more disappointed by the fact that on knowing what from his colleague what the scene was... he turned downright curt towards the young intern with whom he was all happy and nice until the previous day. The inconsistency in his behavior is clearly disturbing and is not something I enjoyed... I wish he was more subtle... and possibly more finer in the way he worded his conversation with Sapna!!!
If not anything else... Sapna is gonna go on an assumption spree that he is unhappy with her work or her itself... and that might only worsen the heartbreak and disappointment she will suffer soon knowing she is dreaming of something that aint really possible!!!
I wish they show as being more mature in the way he handles Sapna and her emotions and her infatuations... Being a good doc is fine, but you need to know how to handle delicate situations your own emotions are involved!
3. How did DMG affect you personally and is there any thing in particular about any of the characters or episodes that touched you deeply??
Well I wouldnt say it affected me personally , but I like the fact that the show brings a smile on my face and I truly enjoy watching the show, coz its actually a slice of life..!! The wit and humor and also ...the fine sensibilities ...
What touched me deeply was the interaction between Armaan and Minnie coz when I was minnie's age or younger... possibly 5-6 yrs... I used to have a 21 yrs neighbor who'd talk to me and call me his girlfriend and I absolutely enjoyed it and memories of that interaction came flooding back when I watch the Minnie and Armaan scenes.... I used to be chatter box I believe when I was young... and now well I am the opposite~!!! 😆
Another thing I totally relate to is the character of Armaan.... I find a lot of things similar and more specifically his gestures or his behavior...
The car scene where he address his car as baby and how he talks to it... that is so typically me... I hate it when ppl actually are insensitive towards my car... bambie!!! And also the way he is comfortable with kids and his interactions with them....
And I guess much as I am an introvert.... I am quite the carefree person... that he is...and dont really let the emotional side get the better of me!!!
4. How do you feel about Dr. Sapna's plight, being forced to see so many prospective grooms and parents who don't seem to quite understand her.
I think honestly , every indian girl... who goes through the arranged marriage phase... will relate to her...
She is typical personification of the girl caught between the customs and her struggle to find herself , in the person , who'd truly complete her and also one who'd set her free.... in the emotional sense...
I guess... if I see it my way... she should not get overworked with the fact that her parents are looking... love happens... and one should jus surrender to it.. instead of hunting for it....often in our quest to find love , the way we perceive it, we fail to acknowledge all the love that is around us and lose out on revelling in that glory!! If the guy meant for her is one who is gonna come her away through her parents search so be it... she should welcome it... rather than avoid it totally....
Its quite the situation actually... Sapna's .... so typical... and I guess... she should take life a lil more lightly than she is... !!!
As for parents not understanding her... well expecting others to understand us, is being demanding...
Khud ko jab hum samajh paaye tho... iski zaroorat hi nahin padti ki doosre hamein samjhe bhi...kyon khud ko samjha hi.. zindagi ko samajh na hota hai!!!
Well... my mom doesnt really relate to the way I think regarding a lot of things... and neither does my dad , but they know that I understand my self better than anyone else and they are happy with that...
Its only when we are confused , we expect others to understand us ... and the frustrations taht are an aftermath of the confrontations in this regard..
Sapna should really spend sometime trying to really understand what she really wants.. coz she is right now way too confused abt what she wants and its perhaps the age and the exposure as well...
5. Have you read Doctors by Eric Segal? Yes I have , and reading this book made me believe I was right in calling doctors... Angels of Gods!!! 😊
6. Which is your favourite movie?? The Lake House...starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock... Aaah Oh ... I absolutely love the movie and the concept of love that transcends time and space and the physical realms ...!!!
7. What does love mean to you??
The word 'Love'… Hmm… I have never really appreciated the usage of this word, for this defines , sets a boundary to an emotion that defies boundaries , an emotion to be felt and reveled under, rather than defined and re defined…
If I had to use another it would be "Blessing".
A divine blessing, bestowed on one and all, remains unrecognized, unacknowledged by many….
In its myriad forms, it touches our lives every single moment, in a doting mother's concern, in a father's silent pride for his children, in a sibling's petty tiffs, in a partner's appreciation of one for what she/he is, the freedom to let go, to dwell in the glory of the companionship of those around you, of being able to smile when one looks into the mirror , happy to see the person the mirror reflects…with no regrets, of no wish to change, but to accept one's own self…, in the silent moments shared between kindred souls, of the silent confessions , of all that the heart ever wishes to speak, that remain unvoiced , but not unheard…
A sense of "You complete me" that one feels with the soulmate…, of a feeling to look and seek no further…
A sense of complete acceptance, of ones own self and of all that one has been showered with ….
Strange, though it may seem, living it , is more enriching that expressing it time and again, of reveling in the glory of this divine blessing , acknowledging in silence…
The inexplicable force within that drives us on, giving us hope , that even in the deepest moments of despair and tragedy, we move on holding on to a deep seated feeling in our hearts that tells us that this is not the end…
The very essence of life, that lies deep within all of us, waiting to be felt and acknowledged , for it is and shall remain the reason for our happiness….the smile on our face..
-Sareeta
