"Detachment is not that you should own nothing. But that nothing should own you."

Loved this line, Pearl! Your entire post has been quite thought-provoking. 👏 It made me assess my own relationships in life along with my attachments and detachments. 😃 You're right, Viplav was a character that was overly attached to his family, especially to his grandfather. He looked up to his grandfather as his role model and his savior. The emotions Viplav felt for Dashrat Tripathi stemmed from the colossal amount of respect he had for him not only as his granddad, but a high profile persona in society. He was proud to be the Mahant Dashrat Tripathi's grandson. Even though Viplav was a gold medalist and his intuition was constantly lacking, I feel that the foundation of trust is so vast amongst family members that questioning one another's motives and actions is out of the question. I honestly believe that Viplav turned his brain off around his grandfather. He didn't know the extent his mother was capable of going for her own selfish purposes, but he knew that she was capable of hurting someone emotionally and to an extent physically. Here his grandfather kept up a charade of always fulfilling his desires and wishes and not allowing anyone to stand in his opposition. I can't blame him for not picking up on the clues because he was brainwashed to a very large extent. I'll admit that this show made me wonder if love for one's family is stronger than one's love for his or her spouse. Are we more willing to believe our parents and grandparents because we're bound to them by blood? Is it that easy to reject your spouse's plea? 🤔

Thanks for writing for us.

Hello Hammie, good to see you, thank you for reading and sharing your view...True we humans do tend to get attached to other humans and it is natural, if not as you rightfully point out we would be in isolation, but when it comes to anything in excess it can be dangerous, which is why Vilplav never believes anything which is against DT unless n until he has himself witnessed DT confessing to his crimes. Thank you Hammie...Till then take care.

PART 2

UNITY

A family doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be united. Where there is unity there is always victory. We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. We all can work, but together we win. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable. Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking. So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.

When we learn how to work together versus against each other things might start getting better. Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success. Individually we are one drop but together we are an ocean. True teams are made when you put aside individual wants for the collective good.

There is more power in unity than division. The family is God's greatest masterpiece. An anchor during rough waters is family. It doesn't matter whose DNA has recombined with whose, as long as the people who stand by you without flinching, they are your family.

The family is supposed to be our safe haven, very often it's the place where we find the deepest heartache. Family isn't always about the people in your life who are blood relatives. It's about the people in your life who want you to be in theirs. It's about the people the people in your life who accept you for who you are, support you in the things you choose to do and no matter what, are there for you.

The ones who would do anything to see you smile and love you no matter what. It's the people in your life who love you, respect you and who you can depend on, which makes up a family.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Time has wonderful way of showing us what really matters. Family like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one.

In this show Ishq, one of the main significant lessons which were taught to us was about unity. The Ashram ladies have always been united; they have always been there for each other through thick and thin.

Though most of them are not related to each other by blood, which never stopped them from helping each other out, being there for one another. In the true sense, they have always been united and they held so much respect, love for each other, they set a very good example of how a family needs to be.

On the other hand, there are the Tripathi's who are always dividing their own home. The family members hardly have any connection with each other, there was hardly any respect given to Dadi, Shambu and Shalu in AN. DT and Kanak were always obsessed with power and wealth, hardly have given any significance to the real treasure in their lives, their family members.

When it came to Ghettos the people residing there also did help and looked out for each other. They always were there during the difficult times esp in Dhani's case, Parshiya and others helped them out during the times of need. None of them are related to each other by blood, yet Parshiya always made sure to keep Dhani and her family happy.

How strange it can be at times, when you expect your family members those who are related to you by blood to be there for you are never there during the needy times and on the other side there are people who are there for you who are willing to do anything to make you happy and they stand by you always.

The Ashram ladies or the people residing in the Ghettos are the perfect examples of how and what a real family is meant to be like. They have always have given respect to each other and never compared people to wealth unlike the Tripathis and they knew the real value of people. Dhani and Dulari are in a way very lucky to have found such wonderful families in their lives who have accepted them for who they are and were always there for them.

Viplav on the other hand, is lucky to have met Ashram ladies whom he considers them to be his real family for he felt peace whenever he visited the Ashram, the love and affection he received from Dulari is that of a mother's love which he never experienced from his own mother in his life. In short, he always received love and affection, strength from outside rather than from his own family.
