Its very easy for me to spin a hero into M's life and wipe out all fears in II's mind, I can have Ritu get into a car wreck, I can destroy chachu's family in a plane crash or make Chachi take sanyaas, I can have Savvy show up from a Buddhist monastery in Hong Kong

And make R&B talkative and social

It completely guts the backbone of the story

We all have to deal with unpleasant things in life, it tells us a lot about who we are as a individual. We dont get the dream job when we want it, it doesnt come with a 30% raise, it does come with zero commute

Yes we marry faithful men and have average kids but we HAVE TO learn to acknowledge, process and deal with unpleasant things
While we will never be asked to marry our rapist, we can get hit with some really painful life events.

We cannot change completely, we do things differently to secretly run away from it


It is the processing that needs to be done. In real life a woman would perhaps never confront or even see the ex, and life would go on...the processing takes its time buT eventually happens. first jealousy, then discomfort and then perhaps just a fleeting thought. But Ina story I would imagine the processing MIGHT need to hapoen with the ex showing up in conversations or a casual meeting etc...just to keep the drama alive and the readers hooked on...nothing else.

Yes Swathi has a great point, very valid
In India such things DO matter, nobody knows what causes a good pregnancy to end in cerebral palsy or what causes autisim or severe mental illness

There is a lot of stigma associated with it

Subbu's Mom was a complete bitch about it.

Putti:We all think we know the ones we love the best, oh heck, we assume just because we have worked with someone for 8 or 10 years "we KNOW them". We find such people doing something ludicrous or unscrupulous or unethical someday and walk home in a daze... wondering HOW COULD I HAVE NOT SEEN IT


Manya thought she knew R&B the best, she was SURE he would never marry and flit from woman to woman
He didnt


Well yes as they say love or arrange marriages r of family first then individual.
In India love marriages r also to go through all sort of scrutiny unless there is major fallout nd both the person involve r deeply in love!!
Not only Manya in think all who know dude think that way only!
It's fortunate that he found II.

I just wrote a response to ur worry actually, right before this post

We cannot get rid of unpleasant people, events or actions in life
We HAVE TO SUCK IT UP and learn to deal with it
Akka lives with her in laws 24*7 and cant quit her job, Amma is Periappa's nurse for 40 years now.
We all get handed a certain set of cards from the deck, some have many Aces some have none... but we all have to play

You cant ask "out" u know...
BTW I am part of a work Powerball pool I borrowed $10 from $2 each from 5 people (I HAVE NO CASH😡 only cards) and yet someone from Michigan won😡
Darn it!!!

I will play the next time the pool goes over $50 M😆
I cant be the only one on site that shows up to work "day after" can I😆



Well I read that I completely agree with all the your quotes n comments Nisha!! I realize that we cannot just wish for II to be 'best friends' with M. Her insecurity in a way just shows how much it actually effects her to imagine her hubby has for years slept with the woman. Her possessiveness for R&B, trust Me I LOVE THAT.
I wad just pointing out about Manya. I don't understand Why shez so insecure towards II? Probably after seeing her pregnant with Her -baby brothers baby- she must trust II with R&B and Ranjan.

And yeahhh none of us want you to make the above changes that you mentioned, That would be No Fun!! 😛 😆

Ummm btw I don't wish to see M 😆 with boyfriend, husband, or even alone!

I agree there again Nish...
The need to be right and be assured is a women's trait...We remember every small thing and have to bring a 6 month or 20 year old past to prove ourselves right...

This need to prove ourselves stems from our insecurtiy in everything...

but most of the guys, dont care...becos they dont see the necessity to prove themselves right...they think that right/wrong I am going to do it the way I want...

so subbu has already moved on...if he sees II today, he might have a small dent in his ego that she did better...but he would never probably think that wat his amma predicted/said was wrong...nor feel fot it...he is happy now and that is wat matters...

Folks, bk in the loop again as I had to go drop my daughter ... Piano classes.
Very valid points Swa , Nisha.
No one has the time to willingly plot on a day day basis and if any uneventful thing happens, what will follow is told you so...

oh she now trusts R&B and Ranjan with II...that is why she extended the olive branch of watching the movie and stuff...

the current problem is envy...the first envy is she doesnt want to lose her position with respect to her brother and father...

the second envy is about R&B...she expected him to give her a company with the nomadic life...but II put an end to it...so in a round about way it is again envy...

Oh this marriage matter might be "indian"...but in general, the trait is common to all women all over the world...

BTW, we have it in us as well...we do behave like that for different matters...we just dont realise it...

II loves Periappa too much to ever think of him as "retarded" more than Subbu's dumping of her what hurt her more was the reference that Periappa was not normal

She never considered him retarded

She wouldnt stop loving her child if the child was like Periappa
That thought hasnt crossed II ONE TIME in the 8 weeks she has been pregnant. Goes to prove what a fine girl she is.

She is fickle and immature in many ways, she has an inflated ego even, but has a pure heart

Normal or retarded, it wouldnt matter what child she has

Its strange how we have some fears and how we dont have some
