I posted this in another thread but wanted to make a separate post too as all of us are trying to make sense of this show so here goes my two cents worth
There are two ways a game can be played in life
The zero-sum Game like Chess or Tennis (if one gains, another loses) means that any result of a zero-sum situation there is no equilibrium
Or
A Non -Zero Game where participants can all gain together so in essence a win win situation where both parties benefit due to the transaction
I am going to use the game of chess to elaborate on this point:
This show has 3 main players
Easwari the mother/MIL
Sona the Daughter in Law/wife
Dev the Son/Husband
In this game of Life Easwari wants to checkmate the opponents King by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. The king in this case Dev like in chess he moves one square in any direction so when he lost Sona he moved her direction and when Easwari is mad he moves towards hers.
The queen in chess combines the power of the rook and bishop and can move any number of squares along rank, file, or diagonal, but it may not leap over other pieces. Here both the queens ( Easwari and Sona) are trying to leap over each other to not let the other person get to the king. Even though one of the queen in my opinion Sona is not doing it deliberately but her moves seem that way to the opponents Queen
In essence they are playing a Zero Sum Game where each one is trying to be a winner one consciously AND DELIBERATELY and other unconsciously.
Easwari, the queen took care of all the needs of the King (prince) cooked for him, cleaned after him and in essence her role was unparalleled in his life. Her identity as a Queen Mother ( Pun Intended) was with the Halwa or the Kachori she made, the clothes she folded because that is all she knew how . Enter another Queen who wants the King to be independent which means asking him to do folding of his own clothes so taking away one of the identies of the queen MAA and now the Kachori Saga taking away another identity
Both Sona and Easwari needs to realize that in order to win in life they have to play the Non Zero Game which will bring equilibrium back to their lives for that Sona needs to give a little if Easwari wants to cook let her and Easwari needs to give a little if Sona wants to take care of her son let her
So let the Non Zero Game beginš
