EMA is about working towards achieving a life beyond that of your parents... that circumstance is not an excuse nor a reason to dream and work towards a goal.

Why has the story only focused on Kalpana achieving something in life?

Why has there not been any equality towards Paakia? Why did Kamla maa not have the same desire for Paakia to achieve something in life?

This has always bothered me... why has Kamla maa only instilled the importance of education, focus, drive... the responsibility of fulfilling her dream... to up the ladder in life onto Kalpana and not Paakia?

Why the discremenation? Paakia is just bumming around, has no career and Kamla maa doesn't seem to care?

When she went to Ragav to ask for a job for Kalpana, why didn't she ask for Paakia? atleast he was a graduate at the time...

I wish EMA would highlight that it doesn't matter what sex you are, just drive, focus, dedication and hardwork is needed to achieve the stars...

I feel this will path ways for future tracks, where Pakya will resent Kamla- maybe when RagNa's truth are out in the open! And Kamla imposes a condition and Pakya gets angry and brings forward this point of always being perceived as second best in the house?...

But coming to your question: Kamla said she could only afford to send one child to school and she opted for Kalpi because Kalpi had an interest in studying whilst Pakya didn't. Pakya has always maintained he loves fixing things, but he will never be able to concentrate in a lecture room with a professor lecturing them about ABC of engineering.

However, you are right to state her lack of interest in getting or urging her son to get somewhere in life. Pakya should have been the one she invested in because Kalpi toh will marry and go, and that's that, but Pakya will remain nah? Surely by ensuring he was working, they would have two breadwinners in the house post Kalpi's bidaai! There is a sense of discrimination that has not been addressed because Pakya is a boy, so who cares, so am glad you brought this up! I do want him to succeed in doing something he loves: ie fixing things! He needs to buckle up and show some interest!And Kamla needs to open her eyes about what she preaches and do something for her son.

You have a valid point...

Kamla maa has had this desire of her daughter being a maamsaab since she was pregnant, and Kalpi has grown up being constantly made aware that she has to always study to fulfil this dream. Not once did Kamla maa mention to Pakya that she wants him to grow up and be a saab, she has never mentioned such a desire.

EMA has given a very commendable message to the domestic workers that you can achieve more out of life through education, drive, focus and hardwork.

Lets have a look at Kalpi's journey, Kamla maa took a loan and got her privately educated and got her a job whilst not having graduated; now look at Pakya's journey grew up in the chawl, went to gov't school, graduated and struggling to find a job as nobody to recommend him... now if he achieved something, it would be commendable... why don't they show him volunteering to get work experience to build up his cv and his references... that would help his career progress.

I just find Pakya's journey is more realistic to the people out there that EMA wants to send out the msg to.

^^^ Completely agree with you!! But Kalpi did graduate but the corruption of the world snatched her dreams away from her! ie Neetu bribed them...

But yessh, Pakya does deserve some attention and he is very bright but no-one seems to care! He needs to go and find himself a job instead of hanging around doing nothing! He could help Vithal in his own job, build up his work experiences etc and get somewhere but he doesnt seem interested and the sad part is Kamla nor Vithal seem to care or push him towards acquiring his own aasmaan.

Agree! Pakya did tell his ma either he's getting a job or he has a job in a phone company! Not too sure!

Episode: Raghavi-Kalpi-Pakyaa at the chawl.
Pakyaa says he's a hands on person..he would be bored in a class room,which Kalpi is good at
Raghav pipes in that girls like boring things & hence they are boring

As someone's already mentioned that in one of the epis Kamlamaa tells Pakyaa that they could only afford to educate one child & they considered Kalpi to be the ideal choice

It's wrong to say that Kalpi is only a girl & that once she was grown up she would get married & the education would be wasted

If Kalpi hadn't been educated,by now would have been working as a 'bai' for some memsaab and would have probably been married off to a driver or a peon...history repeating itself

Isn't this what EMA is all about...a bai's daughter doesn't have to follow her Ayi in the trade.
With Kalpi's education she's able to get a good job,move up the ladder career wise,get married to a man with good prospects and in the process she can help Pakyaa & her parents.

Pakyaa is a Uni graduate and is working in a phone shop,so he is earning a wage

I would think that if Kamla maa doesn't want Kalpi to be a bai, she wouldn't want Pakya to be a driver... the idea should be whether male or female it shouldn't matter... you are aiming towards a goal that enables you to better your life and give you more opportunities... that anybody can get out the rut (cycle) that are stuck in.

Being a son or daughter shouldn't matter as both play a hand in shaping the next generation... being a husband or a wife your commitment and responsibilities towards your children are equal... I just find the equality factor is lacking...

In fact if you look at today's statistics, esp in the west (I don't know about the statistics in India), more girls are pursuing education and achieving their goals compared to boys... the dynamics have changed...

As for Pakya... being successful, achieving something does not mean having a desk job... I just find that compared to Kalpi career, Kamla maa doesn't really care about Pakya's career... Basically cv's have neglected Pakya...
