Thanks for bringing an enlightening perspective through this post. Its all back in the mind whatever you mentioned, we all know how Dev is and will go to any extremes for the two ladies in his life. Its just that something happened yesterday which empowered the negativity. Few things leave their impact and yesterday's incident was one of them for me. As off now this journey has surely become a roller coaster ride and lets see how they show the balance after this.

This. Exactly. 👏

This is such a wonderful post, and I think you are absolutely right. What we need to keep in mind at these points in the story, when one or more of the protagonists are most detestable, is that the narrative is leading somewhere, and the writers are trying to say something with their actions. If Dev did exactly what he was supposed to from the get go, there would be no story.

That's of course, not to say that I support his actions. I don't at all, but I also see his actions as a means to an end for the writers, and that is where I am able to look past my immediate anger and put on my analysis hat.

Dev sees Ishwari as a flawless entity, one with no selfish desires, so if he perceives that he has hurt her, he automatically assumes that he must be wrong. When people who believe in god to through difficult times, they console themselves by saying that god has a reason, that he has their best interests at heart, that he is testing them so they can learn an important lesson. It's no different fo Dev. That's the kind of power Ishwari has over him, enough to skew his entire moral code so that it revolves around what pleases/displeases her.

Needless to say, Ishwari does an excellent job of preserving that image in Dev's mind and works very hard to make sure he doesn't see through her. So for me, it's not a surprise that Dev hasn't fully understood her yet, and continues to fall for her machinations. But Ishwari is gradually losing her grip, as proven by the fact that she had to stoop so low. Dev has admitted to Sona that his relationship with his mother is not normal (after he ate dinner in both houses), though he couldn't articulate exactly why. As Ishwari continues to maniulate him, it will become clearer and clearer to him, and when he finally realises that she has been using him, and twisting his arm for her own selfish reasons, rather than for his good or the good of the family, he will snap and I think that is when the extreme reaction you mention will take place.

Balance - An idea lost in all Dixit members.

Dev - Extremely aggressive in all his reactions where slowness is required.

Sona - Extremely passive in ALL situations which need some immediate action.

Ishwari - The ultimate deadly combo of Passive-Aggressiveness.

It will take Episode 1000 to bring balance in all of them. I might not have patience till that though 🤔.

1. who will wish Dev first ?
2. parampara of dev sleeping in Ishwari's lap all day during birthday
3. who will he feed the cake first.
blah blah

I am so scared of this birthday now ...after today's episode

Hey don't be scared, Ishwari is Dev's first Love (he keeps repeating I love you the most), offcourse she gets preference in all things you have mentioned. See problem solved. Only If Sona stop her expectations from Dev, all will be at peace. 😊

BTW I thought Ishwari was equally upset with Dev feeding Asha, seems Dev hasn't got that clue from Ganesha's story. I am still amazed how calling Asha maa came as conclusion from Ganesha's story. Dev is genius 😕😲😊

Thanks everyone for replying to my post. At the onset I would like to tell you this post was NOT in support of Dev. As many of you know I am not a big fan of Dev as a character much less a Hero.

I was just trying to think rationally as to why the Cv's took this route and the only conclusion I could come to is because in order for the Story to move this has to happen.

Dev has always taken knee jerk reactions when it came to his mother he did it during the seperation when mama said Easwari did not like Sona and doing it now when Mama told him the Ganesha story I dont know how he got to this conclusion that he did with the Ganesha story but he did.😉

A little personal story of mine. My husband and I knew each other before we were married. We called each others mothers 'mami' before our marriage. After marriage I decided to call my MIL amma ( mother) the same as I call my mom. My husband did not ask me to but I just did. However, he continued to call my mother mami and he still does. I am sure if i would have asked him to call my mother amma he would have but nevertheless just because he calls her mami that does not mean he loves her less. Infact my mother calls him her oldest son. So it does not matter what the mothers are called as long as it is with affection and love. Would I have been livid and offended if he started calling my mom 'amma' and decided to call her 'Mami' because his mother wanted him to 'YES' Thank God my husband is no 'DEV'

In this case Dev decided to call Asha 'Maa' and now he is promising to his mother he will not call her 'MAA' again. Is it offensive YES there is no doubt about it. But for the story to move the plot cannot be at an even keel and I was just saying this will be a series of blunders that Dev the character will make in order to grow as a character because till date there has not been much growth in his and this is one of the blunders.

Dev broke up with Sona when mama told him that Easwari does not like his and Sona's relationship

He told his Mom that he will not call Asha 'MAA' because mama told the Ganesha story.

There are parallels here which will all culminate that is all I was trying to say in my post.

Good points but I am still confused about where this track is heading. Also they have so many unresolved issues. It will be interesting to see how they resolve each track. I try watch this serial as a serial so don't gettoo agitated if the characters behave in a certain way. It's wonderful to see the different viewpoints of the members (generally based on each ones life experiences).
