I know fish Is considered auspicious and is a part of the ceremony. It can be used only for the ceremonial purpose wherever necessary.

Not necessary to make the menu non veg. Doi machch and jhinga curry are only for taste. The religious part can't be compromised but the taste part can, right?


I am glad you said it. So the sense of smell won't induce vomiting if it's religious reasons, but that will empty out their guts for taste reasons? If a person is allergic to peanut, they will react regardless of why they are around it or consume it.

That's exactly what I mean. Using religion in the name of imposing one's will to others. Again, not in a food court or in someone else's wedding or in a hotel which houses non-veg restaurant, but only where their will can be imposed.

I am sorry for making you depressed, it was not my intention. Do read the follow up comments, and you will understand what I meant and that I have also mentioned solutions. There's a solution to everything provided one's willing to keep an open mind.

I strongly support your view. When I read this post ( TM's) I really felt depressed. Being a vegetarian I can understand how Iswari must have felt.I can not even be where Non Veg is served.That is a genuine problem for vegetarians. Still Iswari agreed that itself is good.Why should she be blamed if She asked her God to forgive? As for the deceit that is attributed to her due to the ignorance of CVs I mean getting the papers signed by Dev, I feel dejected . Pre nup in no way is a matter to be handled by one partner's mother and his lawyer. The issue was used to degrade Iswari's Charecter more and more. What is the difference between Ekta Kapur's Saas Bahu Sagas and this serial? The Medical report of Sona should be known to her,her parents,Dev and his mother. It is not a couple issue. Indian marriage unites two families not two persons.Both the parents have every right to know and discuss before the marriage itself. If Dev wants to tell his mother it is not a crime. Like Asha and Bijoy should know,Iswari also should be aware of it.

Seven percent chance means nill chance of conception. My friend has ten percent chance ,five years she tried invain. Doctors advised her to go for either adoption or surrogacy. But I am sure here they will show Sona conceived and her child is denied Dev's property share. I want to shout from roof tops Pre nup protects Children's right to share the property and never allows such stupid clauses as shown in our great realistic serial.

This is where reasonable accommodation comes into consideration. What does a vegetarian person do in a school? Or a food court? Or in a hotel while travelling? Where other children or people serve and eat Non-vegetarian food? They sit in one table even beside a table where other people are probably eating hard core Non-vegetarian food and concentrate on their food, not on others. But here even a separate room serving Non-vegetarian food is supposed to be offensive.

Another example, if I take your logic, then I will have to conclude that a pure vegetarian person will never attend any Non-vegetarian person's wedding regardless how close friends they are. But that's not the case. They do attend other culture's wedding and do eat at the vegetarian section. Same with office parties. And why is that? Because it's someone else's wedding.

Besides most wedding doesn't happen where food is served anyway. Usually where weddings happens as in Mandap is set up, the food counters other than a coffee machine or people serving starters are not set up there. No other food is allowed there anyway. And since starters can be pure vegetarian, again not an issue.

Sikh weddings are done in Gurdwara - a holy place. If the wedding was taking place in temple then yes. It's then reasonable to demand vegetarian food. But that does not compare with a hotel or banquet hall. People don't close down a restaurant because they have hired a banquet hall in the same hotel for the wedding and non-vegetarian food will ruin that. Also pure vegetarian people do hire banquet hall where previously, possibly even the day before a non-veg wedding might have taken place. They don't demand the history of the banquet hall.

So the conclusion of the story is, people impose their will on other where they can. And no, reasonable accommodation can be expected from even pure vegetarian people. The same accommodation that they make for their friends, colleagues, or even strangers at a food court; the same consideration they expect from others, yet refuse to make for a family that is going to be joined with their family by marriage. Like I said, a closed mind can never stop making excuses while an open mind makes relationships.


I will just reply in a few points

1. If a non vegetarian person is unwilling to understand a vegetarians point of view then does he have any right to expect the vegetarian family to understand their point of view.?

2. If people do not agree to our point of view they are not capable of open relationships? How are we so sure that only our point of view is the correct one?

3 .in schools, hotels everywhere others eat non veg. But a place where yagna or marriage is performed by our family automatically becomes our holy place at that point of time and hence equivalent to a temple.

4. what others are doing in their wedding is their point of view and hence whether they keep non veg or not doesn't affect us. because our holy activity is not going on there. It doesn't have a status of a temple for us.

5 .See I understand you shall not be able to appreciate this point of view because there is a cultural difference and that is why a had said in another post let's agree to disagree. We can have different points of view courtesy our upbringing, family background and religious beliefs. Is it so necessary to ensure that the other person cedes to us? is that reasonable accommodation?

Peace out.

Thanks all for commenting on my positive ramble...even that was taken as sarcastic and here I was trying not to..God help me this show is turning me to the Dark side.😆
Yes Worship is the central theme of the show. Let me explain why.

In the launch the makers said Dev worships Easwari, Sona worships love
Some of us missed that and went by the promo, dissected it and felt the disconnect.😉
Look at their names
Easwari Goddess
Dev is it Devas
Sona gold just a metal! Which adorns Easwari and Dev but no purpose on its own

Since worship is the central theme I forgot to add it in my ending
So here goes
Dev worships Easwari but only on Sunday's..he has to have some character growth
Sona worships Dev or love however you want to see it and by default loves Easwari the rest of the days
And Here lies the balance the makers were alluding to!
Now that I have realized this I feel so much at peace😉
