When I first read the post I was fully anticipating the shrew is Shravan :) I'll post in length later but I guess this is the beauty of this show. You are a sumo girl and you got Shravan yesterday and I am a Shravan girl and my heart went out to Sumo... In the end these both are escapists... One is the pessimist and he always sees the glass half empty and the other always quickly has her rose tainted glasses on. Both never ever question their own actions and its potential impact on others. And both think only the other have egos. They say that marriage is a relationship where two incomplete people complete each other, but my heart goes out to sumo who has embarked on a very dangerous journey. Will love be her guiding light? Will she succeed? Of course she will! But it will take a lot of her... In the end like I said she neither has to giver herself up nornher dreams but how will she make way in Shravan's heart again along with her self respect that is key.

The only vantage she has over Shravan was clear in yesterday's episode. She is always optimistic. And like I always say, she has knowledge Shravan doesn't.

Shravan is being lied to left right and center by everyone, including Suman. So he is super Clouded at the moment but there's a reason PreeKar are in the same house. Preeti wasn't standing there when Kaamini was instigating Shravan for no reason. I hope.

Shravan. Shravan. Shravan. Where do I even start? Do I call you a misogynist? Or a pessimist? Or... I all short of words. I hate you one moment and then the other I wish someone could slap sense into you. And then I see that like someone who builds walls around themselves to keep hurt at bay you are retracting further and further into the depths of despair... Wonder what to make out of you?

Sumo, may be you just need to remember, okhli mein sar daal rahi ho, pisega to Sahi...

Ps: this turned out to be quite a long short response!!!

Yep agree Suman has, is and will always be self-centered. Hence she needs a more 'centered' partner. 😆 So I think Shravan is wrong for her.

For Shravan I think she is the right person because she can actually bear and put up with his sissy fits. Dear god, this man has more mood swings than a pregnant woman!

According to me marrying somebody and expecting him/her to be radically different after marriage is wrong. People don't change that easily.

Ramnath case was different. Nirmala was not working when he married her. So he had this preset mould in his mind that Nirmala was slotted to. He was not comfortable when she tried to break out of that mould.

In Shravan's case, he knows that Suman is a working independent woman. Why marry her only to change her? There are other fish in the sea. For him and for her. Marrying her just so he can snub her is downright cruel. This will be a tragedy of his own doing. Good people should not try to be cruel, they will only lose themselves.

Yeah .

Sumo girl and Shravan girl seem to have switched sides for a moment.😉

That is because we do know neither will tolerate us if we dislike their better half.😆

As for Sumo- the way he conducted the marriage- I wonder for how long her resolve would stay.😉 May be she will decide to lie low for some time...It is tough to be so cheerful and hopeful when someone has just thrown cold water in your face!

Sorry for the late post...Chick

It's interesting your post is named the Taming of the shrew, not one of my favourite of the Shakespearean plays..but a thought provoking play nonetheless...though I am not sure how many in the audience of the time thought of it as so...how many asked the question Why? What? rather than the How?

Anyways, is that what you think this track is about...about his intention to "tame" her?Hmmm...😲

Well, if it is, I have reservations about the project...and it is not becos of how it will play out😆 but moreso becos that is not how I have read Shravan. He seems to have a resigned air about his getting married that "taming" does not seem to figure in his agenda. His chachi convo was a rise to the bait, I thought...

In his conversation with Ram on Friday...the "taming" ascent though apparent in his speech, looked more like a determination to make his marriage work. (thank U Indrani for that insight!) I don't know how he will prevent Sumofrom becoming Nirmala Ahuja becos they do seem to be different people though they may share some traits. Also, if he has to prevent Sumo from becoming Nirmala Ahuja, it also means he has to become different from Ram, which he is, I think. He is different from Ram even if there are similarities. Ram remains captive to his insecurities, while Shravan has in the past shown an ability to escape that cage.

Anyway coming back to your post, Lovely one Chick...it mirrors Shravan's pain rather well and I also tend to agree with @Idonkno that his pain has depersonalised him to such an extent that he does not feel any other pain. His utterances in the current state are a result of his inability to rationalise the happenings in any cogent way.

I wrote the other day about his pain being one of unrequited love but I realised it also not all about that becos he has lived with unrequited love from the time Sumo "deserted" him at the school. So, this pain is deeper than that and I agree some people tend to feel pain to a deeper extent than others, causing them to understand differently the causes of pain.

Yet, in Shravan's case, the unrequited love did not make him the monster that people see him now for(ok fine he was young then). For ten years, he lived with unrequited love and though he was bitter enough to plan out a charade to avenge his insult, he was the same guy who extended the olive branch after the Khosla incident. His experiences thereafter have been hits and misses in knowing what makes his heart happy and his final conclusion was that he was worthy of love and that Sumo did have feelings for him.(the terrace and caf incident).

To his credit, after gaining his ability to articulate his feelings, (the one thing which he did not have before the terrace hug episode), he has sought out Sumo to try and understand what indeed were the issues between them and unfortunately, Sumo's situation caused her to stall him and misread him as well. Also, she has not taken many sensible decisions along the way. I guess his sense of betrayal comes from the understanding that she has played him despite having held out her hand of trust. Shravan Malhotra ka bharosa jeetne ke liye insaan kya kare, dil kat ke de ya apni jaan de de? I guess somewhere this rankles for Shravan and let's accept these two have a different understanding of love, he struggles to cope with the knowledge she did not choose him and she assumes that despite not articulating anything he will understand her situation.
