Lady La La,

I loved your post, and loved 98% of the posts made by others. It is so great to know that as women we have a sense of self-respect, propriety and dignity. We all stand together to speak out against a storyline that uses deceit and foul tactics in the name of saving family honor (read Anji's marriage).

So however sad we are about the storyline, we should be proud that we stand together on this issue on the International Womens' Day!

And regarding your Q: whether Khushi deserves ASR? NO, and NO GIRL DESERVES HIM. PERIOD. GETTING A HUSBAND LIKE HIM WILL BE THE WORST KIND OF MISFORTUNE FOR ANY GIRL.

I read and loved a lot of nice quotes today.

One post greatly bothered me. I am totally confused by DCGirl's comments. In what way Richard Gere in Pretty Woman compares to ASR? I don't think in this case she is comparing an apple to an apple. Richard Gere was a businessman and he made business deals that he made appear lucrative to the other side. And in those business deals, both sides were equal players with equal interest. Now, I would call him a smart and savyy businessman. What kind of business deal is ASR doing with Khushi? Khushi, for that matter, is not even interested in deals or challenges. She is forcibly pushed into a relationship, and her attempts to question the reason are being subdued by blackmailing, and torture. What kind of business acumen is this? To be perpetrating acts that have no meaning at all? Smart businessmen do not waste time trying to win useless tit-for-tat contests over weak opponents.

I would also like to contradict DCGirl's comment to leave the deceased ones out. I would say that the behavior and mentality of the Raizadas seriously raise doubts about their upbringing and values. I find them selfish, insensitive, ill-behaved and condescending (Arnav, Anjali and Mami). Those who do not fall into that category (Akash, Mama, Nani) are brainless and spineless.

I wish I remembered the quotes that I loved reading today: the one about the 'once a cheater, always a cheater, ...and the one about 'being raised by a queen'. I have to go back and writethem down. I wish I could name everyone individually, because most of the posts are so well-written.

Cheers and Happy Holi to our great Women Sorority in the Forum.

Hey!!

I'm not entirely sure as to why you quoted his play as "lies and deceit". He did not. He worked on his strengths, ie. knowing his partner's weakness. He played fairly and in wit, he showed all his cards to her, it was upto her to strategize with what she saw and proceed. Why didn't she snatch the papers off Akash and tear them? Or spill water on them? Why? Why did she believe everything Arnav said? Its because she wasn't confident about her skills.
