Until Shravan keeps looking inward his love will be about him. Everything in his life will be about him. Sadly, due to being abandoned in childhood by a parent, a lot of what Shravan sees does and think centres around him. That would sound selfish, but ironically he is not a selfish person. His past has left very strong visible marks on his persona and because of this, the epicentre of his world rests in him and his relationships begin at this centre. If something goes wrong along the way, Shravan traces it back to the start, to its beginning (the epicentre) - HIM. It is only when he begins to look outside of his self that he will see and appreciate different points of view and he will know that the world is not out to get just him, that others (Sumo included) have rough days, good days and compulsions and reasons that explain their behaviour. Thats when love can progress and take its steady (not faltering) steps towards happily ever after.

U have highlighted the issue perfectly ...but I have a question...

Can Shravan's issues be resolved by him knowing that Sumo loved him and Nirmala was forced to leave due to Ram's actions...

Wouldn't the actions of Ram cause greater upheaval in his life...knowing the man he trusted schemed (whatever be the provocation and understanding) to keep the women out of his life?

I have the same question - will that not break down his ability to trust completely? i mean his last straw would turn out to be an illusion (a nightmare rather).

No Rosh,

My reading of Ram's character has been different...Yes he is all that u say but in the issue of Ram_Nir...Shravan...I hold Nir more accountable to the narrative...meaning Shravan ..The RAm_Nir issue is different...Nirmala may be right in the approach in walking out on her husband...but in walking out on her son and not looking back does not cut ice on any grounds even in the narrative considering she was fostering another kid...
