In a love marriage, its often very easy to overlook the details; and especially when the marriage takes place in a hurry - chat mangni, pat byaah.
The couple is so keen to unite that they do not think of the fine print - rituals, cultures, eating habits, and so on; these differ even in same-culture marriages and from house to house.

To overcome these barriers, both parties have to be sensitive to the feelings of each other and their extended families and try to work through their differences with an open mind.

When even one of the two parties are stubborn, things get difficult, with the other party being pushed up against a wall, until explosion point is reached.

I think the CVs will make us see the extreme issues that arise is such marriages, before we finally get to see a happy end.

Like I said in another thread, we might see a temporary separation before Bunty pulls up his socks and takes a stand - either for his wife or for his mother 😉

The CVs have portrayed a radical image of Bengali tradition. It never happens in such households to be keeping Non - Veg items /dishes in front of those who are astute Vegetarians. This portrayal doesn't go down well with the Bengali traditions and culture. In Bengali rituals , the fish is taken as a token of good omen but never presented like that on the table when one is having Veg food. This was utterly ridiculous.

I remember the fish-shaped huge sandesh <sweet dish> ... couldn't Pintu have used that instead?

Absolutely, there are several ways of maintaining the rituals and presenting fish on the table before Vegetarians is utterly ridiculous thing.

Your analysis of Bunty is very spot on, sweet, caring but cannot be stern and put his foot down! Hopefully, in the course of the serial, our character will evolve!


Bunty did put his foot down just once when Rani insulted Ratna, but I don't think he will be able to say anything to Ammaji or Sags.

I understand that you are upset, I am a vegetarian too and I don't like seeing the shape of any live thing cooked, it makes me upset.

But non-vegetarian do not understand this sentiment as for them it's natural. It is not possible to explain why it hurts veg.

So like Seetha said this episode is hurting both veg and non-veg.


I am vegetarian or not is beside the point.

What I am trying to say is Amma is a vegetarian and she has reservations about eating in a house where they cook fish in the same utensils. (they consider fish vegetarian. but for amma fish is as much non veg as anything else)

under these circumstances Amma refused to visit Sagarika's house. They told her the food was cooked in a neighbor's house.

That was reasonable . Amma agreed to have food. Amma was reasonable too.

Now bringing a fully cooked fish saying it is auspicious may be the custom for them.

But those people were sensitive enough to cook the veg food in neighbor's house. they should have had the same sensitivity regarding this cooked fish too.

If they knew Amma's sentiments why did they do this?

I mean cvs showing this are they making fun of Amma's sentiments?

Because they respected Amma's sentiments while they got the food cooked in neighbor's house.

Do they not know even looking at cooked fish would hurt Amma's sentiments?

Vegetarianism is a part of Hindu religion. Which even persons who are not vegetarians respect. even if they do not observe vegetarianism.

And those who consider fish vegetarian also know that there are many out there who consider fish as non -veg.

Sagarika's house is more educated than Buntea's house.

Still Pintu aunty did this. I am surprised. that is all.

I am whatever or not is not the question here.

I like to think of myself as a mute spectator of life... and inter-personal relationships interest me greatly 😛

However, I am also rather qualified to discuss this topic as I come from a multi-religion, multi-culture, multi-race, multi-nation family 😃 Life is goood...
