But seriously, how amazing was it that the CVs brought up the point around which the whole is based - friendship. Why is it that family is considered the most important even when one feels suffocated and unwelcome there and friends are always termed secondary despite the comfort and freedom that they provide us? Why can't friends be a family, a legit one? This whole thing of friends ka ehsaan lena and stuff that was brought up..why is it drilled in our heads ke there's a give and take between friends? Why such influence on our thinking, specially by parents? How come society has all these rules which suffocate us more than liberating us?
THIS.
I'm so glad that these things which are kind of accepted norms are being addressed and questioned here.
And the thing is we don't even notice these things unless they are explicitly pointed out...I really love the cvs for being so unconventional in their approach even while dealing with cliched conflicts.
And also why is there always a demarcation between the two,...friends and family?
Can't friends be family for a person who is devoid of blood relations...isn't fab5 family for people like Manik and Alya who have been isolated from familial bonds either by fate or by voluntary actions by their so-called "family"?
And why can't family be your friend too? My cousin n my mom are 2 of my closest friends...I can share everything with them and I do all the time.
Who makes these classifications and on what basis? Just blood? Is blood really thicker than water? Then why do we see uncles raping their nieces or brothers and sisters fighting in the ugliest possible way for property all the damn time in newspapers?
On one hand you have your mom who lays out all these conditions for u, is unable to understand or accept u for who u are and then there is fab5 who accepts n supports u 4 who u are, respects your choices, are always on the lookout for u, offers u their home and heart...isn't it obvious now about the choice u will make?
