I agree with you. You know in India love and sacrifice are glorified. Just look at our epics, books and movies. But LIFE which we get once and which is the most precious thing in the world is not valued enough. People are perfectly fine in believing on ideology which says to waste precious life and valuable time by staying put in a toxic atmosphere or pining for lost love and regret at old age that we could have just chosen to be happy.
Life, once it's gone both love and sacrifice are meaningless. Simple reason - You are dead. You don't exist even for your family. Nowhere, Nada...
So all these precious time, when every second of our life is trickling away, do we want to waste it moping or grab happiness with both hands - whatever it may be.
When I was a young, I was asked to write an essay in school on "What I wanted to be when I grew up". You know the same one we all have written one point of time or other. I had written, I wanted to be happy. My teacher said to me that she wanted me to write which profession I wanted to be in. I said to her that I don't know yet because I change my mind every week. But one thing I am sure of is that whatever profession I choose, or whatever I do, I just want to be happy.
Well, I didn't get a very good marks in that essay. I only had got D and only because of writing, grammer, punctuation etc and lost all points at concept. But I still think that was one of the most honest essay I had written because I still just want to be happy.
So when in doubt, an idealistic person who glorifies sacrifices, will tell you choose other's happiness.
I choose my own happiness. Because if I am not happy, how will I make or keep others happy?
It's like airplane oxygen mask, save yourself first so that you can save others.

Tia, I think it's very easy to sit in the comfort our homes and judge the characters on the television whilst having the faintest idea of what it is like to really go through similar experiences in life. Since the beginning of the second season, I had been so wishing to see that sense of apathy and indifference for Dev in the eyes of Sonakshi. Not that I root for love stories, but sometimes our very experience of having our heart burnt in love makes us so much more a better and stronger person and that's more beautiful than the naivety of giving up oneself in love. In my opinion, if there is one thing for which Dev can never be redeemed, it's in his not taking an effort to reach out to her knowing that it's only and only because of him and his family that Sonakshi and her family were on the streets. And again, how lightly do people take the realty of being homeless and starting your journey all over from rags! If Dev didn't reach out to Sonakshi, then neither Sonakshi did, so both are at wrong. How convenient is this logic. Do people even have the slightest idea of the different circumstances that the two were at the point in time?
Dev years for Sonakshi and that is a truth that will never change. Sonakshi yearned for Dev till a point of time, but the birth of Soha freed her from the chains of Dev and thereafter she had a newfound reason to look forward to life.Though it's silly to equate fiction with reality, karma played its part by giving Sonakshi that strength to rise up in the form of Soha and on the other hand Dev had to pay for all his deeds by suffering within whilst having a complete makeover on the outside.
@bold, how true is that! Dev wouldn't have left a stone unturned to snatch Soha from Sonakshi whilst giving a damn to the the girl who gave up on his love. How could she? It's such a pity that we have people around who believe in glorifying their love even when the same love strangles the other person.
