I really really liked this question by Geet " Kya aapko lagta hain, ki hum dono aise hi ranhenge?"Doesn't this voice the fear that girls have after a wedding? Things are all lovey-dovey when we are engaged and newly married but things do not stay the same as the marriage lasts longer, does it? How often do you see the same love and affection as before after 10,15,20,etc years of marriage? Maan's answer was practical and that too even a dream answer in my opinion.

I've come to admire their window seating moments as well. These times and sunrises are become so significant in their love life. I think in this part Geet realized that actions spoke louder than words. Haina? "I turned and rested on his shoulder for all that gave me was not just support but promises of a life long companisonship with him." Ooohhhhh me too but you and Rachana should know my thoughts on this by now hehe

Just reading about Cherrapunji made me yearn to go to a natural beauty-scenic place. I had to google this place as soon as I read about it and want to visit it soo bad. Unfortunately we haven't been to that many places to sight see in India. I want to change that the next time we do end up going there again. Cherrapunji will most DEFINITELY be a place I'll be looking into because its sounds just gorgeous.

"Was I so dear to him that he couldn't bear to see even my stuff go through any symbolic accidents? I must really be blessed." That Tamil version of the Hey Ram song looks wonderful. The lyrics are touching and very apt to the emotions of love. :"So now you know why that song meant so much to me'it all started with that one look that disturbed me at the airport'Thanks to the one look from you'"

"There was no way man could create anything like it and this to me proved the existence of babaji in every realm" How often to we take the time to enjoy and appreciate the wonder of nature? There's an arboretum 10 mins from my place but I've only been there 1-2 times. Not because I'm not a nature lover but because I've just never had the time to explore that yet. Don't we all smile with content and sigh deep whenever we go to a beach? Or sit in the swings in a children's park alone and enjoy the greenery and the breeze on your face? Don't mean to get poetic here but nature in itself is too beautiful to be given justice to with mere words. To me nature has always allowed me to clear my mind-heart of any conflicts and focus more on the spirit of me.

"The truth that came to me was profound for it was not my realization and this very place had given it to me that I was tiny, small and that my problems didn't mean anything to all that lay infront of me, that this place would stay the same way, that I wouldn't matter if I lived or perished in sorrows, that I didn't own anything for I didn't belong here'it reminded me I was just visitng this PLACE." Nature has always played a significant role in Maan-Geet's life when they have seriously deep conversations. This quote and my life's current situation both reinforce this lesson of life to me. Thank you so much

What can I say about their talking their hearts out to each other on their relationship all this time? Them opening up to each other with everything that happened to them was superb. What was wondrous for me is that they opened up about little things related to the past that were personally significant to them. Their feelings, regrets, etc all came up with utter simplicity and that was the charm of their conversation. So many unsaid and unclear things got answered in this part! Loved it!

Getting to know the person well and unfolding each layer on a person is important for any relationship isnt it? It's much more complex than "lets get to know each other" and "20 questions". This opening has to come from within. It's easier to open up for some people and very difficult for others. Sometimes it's easier to open up to a few particular "types" of people than others. Nowadays even this is not as simple anymore because how many people are out there that you can completely trust? Its difficult enough to understand yourself and even accept flaws in yourself so just imagine how tough it might be to open up about it to your life partner? Having that deep bond and unity with your partner would be so valued and cherished.

You know what I've come to realize lately? The one thing I look for and becomes my favorite in the update is the way you end the updates. You tie all the strings in the update very symbolically and this highlights the entire focus on the update on the dot.

Pushpi that was very well said...to know your significant other, it's a journey that never ends. And I guess that's another aspect of our life. Hasini's narrations has immersed lot's of desires, questions, understanding, different prospective, acceptance of other human being in my life. It's a tornado revolving with in myself and ready to burst. Nonetheless, she has done the magnificent job to bring all of us together and share our POVs and to understand the course of nature. One or the other, it has to me. My most favourite part that I admire about Hasini's scripts is her titles and the way she use it through out her scenes and sometimes concludes the episodes with it.

I have kind of come to accept the fact (though not fully) that life is changing at each and every second. Change is the only constant thing in this world as quoted by someone. Us humans are so used to living life in a particular way, in our own little bubbles and comfort zones that if a little something happens then a havoc is created in our minds. The more unanticipated the change, the more resistant the individual becomes. Honestly, who wants to get out of their comfort zone and take risks, learn to live differently, start all over again, etc. I believe an individual can try n manage if they have been given enough notice, but what if all of a sudden one day...your life takes a 360 degree turn? R u gonna be prepared for it? Mentally and emotionally. I mean the physical body mite handle it due to flight/fight...but what about your heart?

I can understand from Geet's prespective...her life has always been one sharp curve after another. Just when she thought she was in control of her life and just while she has started dealing with the existing issue...BAM! came another hurdle across her path. What should she do? Running away seemed the easiest at that point in time. Running away from whom though? Change or herself? I guess both. Cus change is what brought the hurdle and the hurdle is what caused the havoc and now the consequences of the havoc are to face the emotions...that are so painful.

No wonder she wants this blissful moments/life with Maan to last the same and forever. The same sunrise and the same sunset. But in reality...even the sky has the darkest clouds once in a while..with its thunder n stroms. But then you are back to the sunrise and the sunset...sometimes even a rainbow 😉. I think somewhere in the Bible it says, "And this too shall pass'.

Back to Maan's response. 'Hum try to kar sakte hain na'. Such a great response. I mean it is as real as it can get. No exaggerating and no promises. Because the maker of life and the changer of destiny is another power that is way beyond our control. Life before and after marriage is off course never going to be the same. Before marriage it can be lovey-dovey and after something else like you and vice-versa like you said Pushpi.

I believe that a relationship is like a potter and its clay. The more you work on it, the more you communicate with it the more better it turns out to be. The more amount of time you spend with in it with your everything...it will turn out to be beautiful just like the final piece of pottery. But you cannot just do it alone. Clay needs the potter to make it into a beautiful piece and the potter needs the clay to make a beautiful piece.

Rachana

Adding to my own comments above and to continue on to the last paragraph....no matter what changes or hurdles life brings out at your n your better half....as long as you are in it together and are willing to work on it and overcome it....it will be workable. It is easier said than done.
