Nice analogy. The problem with Dev-Eeshwari relationship is that they both trying to make it too idealistic and in the process they are unable to embrace their humanness. Humans make mistakes, they feel various emotions, their laugh, they love, they express anger and disappointment, they cry. There needs to be a free flow of these emotions through us. It's never good to keep the emotions bottled up that way for the fear of losing their perfect image in other's eyes. Mothers and sons are human too! This duo is forgetting the fact that neither of them is perfect and it's the pressure of living up to that ideal is killing them. They need to communicate.

Eeshwari's self worth is tied to how good a mother she is, as she never had any life beyond her family. Especially so, since her husband died. She focussed all her attentions on Dev as she felt that daughters marry and leave at one point but the son will be with her till the end. Dev is a successful man, so it's a little easier for him to grow out of Eeshwari's clutches, but she will have to learn to live for herself all over again to let go of Dev. No, I don't think Dev should put his own life on hold for her. It's her own battle and she has to fight it herself, but with the support of the whole family, not just Dev.
