Thank you and sending one back to you 🤗
Before I get back to discussing facts: Every time my hubby calls me IF crazy (in fact teases me as if my virtual acquaintances and friends are his sautans 😆) I want to also tell him the joy that this forum has given me & continues to give me - the joy of sharing some good thoughts, even though they are in connection with a fictional TV series. I have made some very good friends on the Marathi forum, life long ones. But you know, however good husbands are, they will not understand this emotional exhaustion on a TV series 😆. He'd rather have political arguments on Huffington post articles and term those as intellectual involvement 😆 As long as he does not object, I don't take his jealousy seriously.
And yeah I eventually watched the episode today 😳 as I had mentally prepared myself to NOT let Eassswari affect me - thanks to all of you 🤗. I keep watching some of the post confession and pre-break up episodes to dilute the effect of these crazy up & down episodes. Erica looks so beautifully radiant in those episodes. After wedding she's seen all gloomy; of course the kaal kothari effect 🤢 Looks like the team has lost their good camera man / editor / lightsman etc.; perhaps all of them at once, did they not like the degradation of the track just like the actors? 🤪 😆
Anyhoo... coming to reality. It's but natural that I'd have more inclination towards my parents than my in-laws. After all, I had been living with them for 75% of my life before I got married. Does not mean that I don't love & respect my in-laws to the same extent. So far so good. But once I am married, my mother knows that it's between my husband & I to ensure that we are there for each other and take care of each other's safety. My mother has not hesitated to scold me / point out my mistakes even during this year's visit if I was wrong and does not forget to praise my husband where he's done his part more than perfectly. She knows his flaws and is willing to overlook those because the positives exceed far more than the -ves.
Same is with my in-laws. Before I married and came here to NY, I had never even gone to stay with my mausi for one night. I needed to come back to my mother's house and after marriage I came so far that my husband was everything for me. I had never cooked before I got married, forget about doing any household chores. My in-laws knew that. I remember what my MIL had told her own son when we called him after reaching here : She had asked him to help me out in every way he can in all the household chores, including washing utensils because I am also someone's daughter and that does not change after marriage. He is responsible for ensuring that I am not reminded of my parents; how I still love her for that ❤️ And he did all of that, not that he needed her to tell that. Even when I was pregnant and came to know that I was going to have a girl, I was worried what my in-laws would say because there is no girl in my husband's family - all Uncles and aunts have boys. And my in laws being from village, I was unsure of how they'd react. And more than my mother, my MIL surprised me by saying - she was very happy that after a long wait there was a girl coming in the house. She said that when kids grow up, irrespective of whether it's a boy or girl, they move out and it's just husband and wife who are for each other. I felt so relieved; needless to say I adore her for the maturity that she has despite being less educated.
I don't think my MIL would have blamed my parents if any such Bijoy Bose kinda decision was taken by my father. She would have blamed my husband ( her own son) for listening to me and endangering our lives instead of forcibly taking me away to a hotel. It's all different personalities I would say and leave it at that. Also, as someone has said, perhaps it's the Cvs who want to throw in some silly romance to cover up for goofy and slack plots.
Apologies again, for narrating so many personal experiences.
Edited: P.S. That scene with the kids next morning was actually annoying and not cute at all, IMO. ow the heck such a small kid knows what couple means? Why can't the makers let kids behave like kids? There are similar scenes even in marathi serials. WHY? I know kids these days have more access to information than when I was a kid, but that does not mean that kids be used like that... just like Sona was shown to out of no where fantasize for kids post the discovery of 7% fertile uterus . Ufff...why do CVs choose such plots filled with blunders when they can't back it with actual scientific facts 😕
Also, the romance was VERY LAME 👎🏼 Sona baby, I will not give you the respect that you deserve in front of my family, but when we are alone, you can even chop off my head. You have all the power in this world (except meddling in my family matters) when we are together... ahhh... what relationship goals Devakshi are right? 👏
OK done with my part of the rant 😆
