@ Sahil0225 - I loved what you said about Geet having more love for Maan's photo than for himself. That sums up the current situation well.

Geet I felt connected to was the woman in love who having seen the broken frame of the man's picture who she felt binded to by an unknown force, by destiny; overcome by concern for his well being had rushed with the need to see him once to sooth her soul to know that he is fine.

But I cannot relate to the Geet who seeing the broken frame of her husband's picture frame dropped tears of silent prayer but dint feel the need to call him, hear him once for herself to know that he is fine.

Neither could I relate to the woman who is so much engrossed in self pity that has not for once has thought of the well being of her man & her family knowing that like her they too will be suffering.

But I cannot relate to the woman, a wife who let her family bad mouthed her husband & instead of stopping them or herself reflecting what Maan is to her stood there listening to them.

The bride who shivered in fear at her mandap that her Darji will separate her from her Maan, acknowledged Beeji's order to never allow her to see him, go to him with a smile.No I don't relate to her.

But I cannot relate to the woman did not feel the pain, the hurt in the anger of this man who did not blink once before jumping in between her & the bullet that was meant for her.

But I cannot relate to the woman who walked out of her true marriage, walked away from the man who protected her, her tears have always scorched his soul, her happiness he holds above everything else, her self respect above his own pride.
She walked out of her marriage, leaving her love , her man & her home for few rude words alone. Yes the one we love & trust their words hurt us the most but don't their pain affect us first too.

Instead of feeling his pain, confronting him with her own hurt she walked away from him for forever. No I cannot relate to this woman.

Okay babes, i read for 4th time, and this time, i could not resist but comment on the said post !

These were the lines, which made me speechless and sad !

They are freaking TRUE !

There was a time, when i used to love geet, i mean, i used to admire geet and her love for maan and her fight for self respect, but it all washed away ! I really bad for the show, and geet !

I remember the teri deewani seq, and how she had fought with him, at that time, i think, maan really said harsh words and hurt geet, but at that time, she did not care about it, and ran like a crazy girl in love ! 😳

And, now this was not even the major fight, and she left !

How bad it is ! Irony is that, same scenes, but what a huge difference and change in the character !

Nandu, you don't have to give dhamkis. I come to IF now mainly to read your posts, the links of which I get from FB. I caught up with Geet after reading your 'The Wait' post. Keep the posts coming. They are more worthy than watching the actual episodes.

totally agree with u about geet-i loved her innocence in the initial episodes-the office scenes,she did not come across as silly or irritating,rather she came across as sweet,innocent at the same time strong...............but don't know what happened after maan and geet actually confessed their love for each other-since then her innocence turned to over the top and stubbornness,which reached its peak after the wedding.i can't relate to her at all. i hv heard people call her the strongest female character on tv, well yesthe Geet who rose against her entire family to protect her baby,the geet who came to HP to start a life on her own-i admire that girl for her courage,indeed she was one of the strong female characters on tv, but this geet- she is anything but strong....she always choses to run rather than face and sorry,that is not a sign of strengt...........and as some people argued during her decision to forgive dev that forgiveness is an act of the strong, well, to love truly-to love so much that ur ego becomes totally secondary to u-is an act of the strongest-and this is what Maan is doing..............i will call geet's attitude her ego instead of self respect because she is just failing to give importance to maan's pain here-even after his apology on the radio,and again when they meet in person-she refuses to forgive him!well,probably maan's crime was greater than Dev-indeed to love selflessly is the greatest crime in the world and that is what maan did,and still does!she does not even answer to her relatives when they keep on insulting maan without knowing anything about the actual issue-yes,this geet is a stranger! she is definitely not the one with whom the show had begun!

Nandita...girl....where are your pictures lately....that I love so much?😉

But, as to your post......I agree completely. with u and Dol......excellent posts.....

Maan is the only one I respect still....but (yaar please jhoote math maaro) I do have some respect for Dev...at this point....he is trying his best to get Maan and Geet together.....come on give him a little credit.😊😊..

And how can we forget Adi...bechara....bewaje maar khaya hai usne....usne to socha bhi nahi hoga....ke shaadi ke time ladke walo ke side lene se....ladke ki naam ki pitayi bhi sehhni paregi.....bechara....😆

Par ek baat to hai....jitna pyar Geet Maan ke photo se karti hai...kash utna hi pyar voh us se bhi karti😆...to Maan ko driver nahin ban na partha.....

Kaash mujhse koyi itna pyar karta par hum sab ki kismat Geet jaisi kahan?😆

So true. But your thought has inspired me to write this poem from Geet's point of view.

I don't know how to explain it, but I'll try.
See, I'm broken.
Like a glass cup, I can't be whole again.
I can only try to put the biggest pieces together and hope they stay.
Hope I don't break again.
But, also like a glass cup, there are the small pieces.
The small pieces of me that I can never get back, the pieces vital for the cup to be complete again.
For me to be complete again.
Without the little shards, the liquid, like my feelings, will leak out until there is no more.
So you ask me how I could not care,
How I could have no empathy,
How I could be so cold.
And that is why.
I am missing parts of myself, my pain leaking out.
But unlike the cup, my pain is always refilled,
Never-ending,
Never ceasing.
Threatening to consume my thoughts,
My life,
My soul.
Until there is no more.
Just an empty,
Broken, Glass.
That is why today I love a broken picture
More than I can love the man in the picture!

Note:

The samller pieces are meant to represent the life shared with her parents and family, and her lost baby.

The biggest pieces are supposed to stand for her life with Maan.

Did I just try to justify Geet's position? I must have gone really mad. No, I am only trying to hold onto something that I think I know is no longer there.
