Look at the things Ehsan tells Katha about Viaan and look at the stuff that Keith told Katha..
I got a little emo today 😆 Viaan was so embarrassed but shukar that koi toh Hai who can tell all these things about Viaan..
Katha is learning about Viaan is such a unique way.. I love it ❤️
Such a good Valentine's day treat. So, what if there were no hugs and kisses..Katha learned more about Viaan and that's enough for me. We were all upset that yesterday's scene was a dream but this is so much more impactful. Viaan doesn't have to say that he's more than that Kaali raat..Katha is picking on this fact all by herself
didn't have much reaction yesterday. I think the friend would have been more impactful if he didn't feel like a comedy drunk piece. 😆 it was a bit hard to take seriously.
still like you said, he was a good contrast to ehsaan. he was willing to publicly acknowledge the help that viaan gave him and really appreciated it.
the help that viaan gave would be more meaningful for those who live far away from their elderly parents. especially for those on the other side of the ocean. if you are living somewhere in dubai or singapore, it is still so close and there are multiple flights that you can literally come back in the same day you hear any news. even with europe, because of proximity, you can still get home within 12 hours. however, for those living in US and Canada, the flight itself takes 15-24 hours and more depending on the route you take. then, there is the issue of cost as well as not getting leave -- so it becomes difficult to hop in and out during an emergency. then they are left to rely on relatives or friends who reside here and it can get complicated.
sometimes people who are in india who have to jump in to help get annoyed because they feel like they are being fleeced and unappreciated. they put aside time and energy and there seems no acknowledgement and instead just orders through the phone. so this can lead to further friction.
as one aunty told me, "no effort to develop the relationship but when trouble comes, they expect me to come in and help their parents but they don't even have the courtesy to follow up and say thanks afterwards. they don't bother to call during holidays and wish. and then acting so arrogant when they visit. even I have money and I am settled. I am not less than them. ugh!"
another aunty said, "they won't show up to help their own parents but they think I must go everyday and sit in the hospital corridor. are they going to pay for my taxi? I am also senior citizen. I also have health problems. I can visit once or twice. check up through phone. but I can't go there physically every day. not once have they visited me or even called when they are. but look, how arrogantly they are demanding!!!!"
so from that perspective, am really glad that keith acknowledge and also really appreciated viaan. it is indeed a big help especially when you are in the other side of the ocean. you do not become less by saying thanks. unfortunately, some are too proud to acknowledge the help and that results in friction and feeling not valued. then, the next time problem occurs, people are reluctant to go all out and help. so yes, keith apprecting viaan is definitely the right thing to do. 👍🏼
