*Season 2, Week 27* Analysis Thread - Page 21

Hi friends

I went on a bit of a KRPKAB binge yesterday, and I have come to the conclusion that the writers must watch old episodes at least as much as we viewers do, something I have seen very little evidence of on any other show that has run this long. I say this because the differences of opinion that Devakshi are having now, are visible literally from day one of their relationship.

@ Sam thanks for everything you write.

If you can get past the romantic feels of that scene in Dev's room doorway (which is a task, I know!), you will hear them discuss the very same issues that are giving them such a hard time now. Dev asks Sona how she could hide her love from him, and when she says sorry, says that he'll forgive her on one condition -- that she tell him everything about herself; he wants to know her better than she knows herself. Sona then asks, why do you want to know all this stuff about the past? Shouldn't we be focusing on our future? BAM. Sam's mind = Blown. 😲😆

For Sona, life is about moving forward on a linear path; one step comes methodically after the other, and love is about who you choose to walk that path with. To her mind, an ideal partner is someone who makes your burden lighter and holds your hand as you move forward (very much like Asha and Bijoy). The past doesn't hold as much meaning for her because she is always focused on the next step foward. For Dev, on the other hand, life is more focused on the people in it, and love is all about forming a connection that transcends time through unadulterated access to the individual's inner thoughts. His doesn't put as much emphasis on the linearity of time, and sees the past as a defining the present of an individual. He wants to experience Sona's past because he wants to connect with her on a deeper level. To him, an ideal partner is someone with whom you can enjoy a transcendental connection that allows you to escape the day to day drudge through life.

And this brings me back to the point I've been making like a broken record. At their best, they balance each other out perfectly. Sona makes sure they are proactive in moving their forward, and Dev makes sure they stop and consider if they are leaving important feelings unresolved in the process. As we saw in our glimpses of the seven years they were apart, they can both live without each other but it's far from their best lives: Dev stagnates and dwells on the past, terrified to move, while Sona refuses to look back, all her focus on mechanically putting one foot in front of the other, terrified to stop. That is where their current impasse comes from. Dev is scared to move, and he is calling out to Sona to help him as she always does. Sona can hear him calling, but she is too scared of what could happen if she stops and turns around -- she has always needed Dev's (gentle to forceful) coercion to do that.

It really is like the story of the hare and the tortoise, a version where they are not racing but helping each other along. The tortoise doesn't feel like moving -- it's nice and safe in the shell -- but the hare's energy inspires him to walk forward slowly and enjoy the view outside. The hare rushes forward confidently, gets tired quickly, but feels ashamed to admit it. When the tortoise catches up, he forces her to rest for a while and enjoy where she's arrived at. Unfortunately, the last time the hare rushed ahead, and the tortoise caught up with her, he found her facing a wolf. He crawled right back into his shell and wants the hare to crawl in with him! Meanwhile, the hare wants to speed forward as fast as possible, away from the wolf. The tortoise thinks, if she isn't coming for me, clearly it doesn't matter if I am there or not, and the hare wonders, why is he staying put and pulling me back into that unpleasant moment when all I want to do is move away from it?

@FLW70: Thanks for the appreciation; it means a lot! 😊 I love this show and it makes me happy that I can pass that love along in some way.

@sam Beauitful post 👏

Timba, this is in response to your last paragraph regarding Ronita and her pregnancy. This is not intended to hurt anyone or trivialize anything. It is just in reference to the series.

When Ishwari sent Dev and Sonakshi to Shimla or talked about wanting a grandchild, it was questioned as to how she could do that. Having a child was something that was "private" between a couple and they should be the one deciding it. I am purposely not mentioning her medical condition here. I am just saying that if Dev and Sonakshi had married without Dev knowing her condition like Saurabh and Ronita.

With Saurabh and Ronita too they went to the doctor before conceiving and decided to follow doctors orders. When they returned from their appointment found their parents having arranged a romantic night for them at home. Asha was shown ordering pregnancy test kit. On Friday's episode it was shown that Saurabh was making Ronita drink water, with Bijoy and Asha overseeing it. Ronita looked way to uncomfortable and the whole scene was weird. It ended with Ronita saying she is pregnant.

How is what Boses did any different than what Ishwari wanted. Didn't Bijoy and Asha go overboard with that romantic night. If Ishwari's act was called "mission baby Dixit", wasn't what Boses did "mission baby Bose". Are Boses not treating Ronita like a baby machine. How is what Ishwari did any different than what Boses did. Boses were as insensitive as Ishwari. I also found Saurabh very insensitive to Ronita's feelings. It was like she didn't have an option. What if Ronita came back after the test and said that she was not pregnant. The Boses would have been disappointed and blamed each other.

Now I wonder how true is Ronita's words regarding the result. If she is really pregnant. I mean when she came down, she found the Boses waiting eagerly for her answer. If Sonakshi wanted to give happiness to Ishwari, wouldn't Ronita feel the same, that she didn't have the heart to tell the truth seeing their expectant faces. I feel Ronita is feeling the pressure just like Sonakshi. The only difference is I find Dev supporting Sonakshi and saying she was more important than any children that she might bear and that too because of her medical condition. But Saurabh did not really give that kind of support. It was they have to have a child. The whole attitude of the Boses was that the child is more important than who Ronita is or what she might feel. Even Asha didn't really pay attention to Ronita's feelings just by the mere fact that she didn't stop Bijoy or Saurabh from going overboard.

This is my pov. Not intended to hurt anyone

@ Shaavi

I found the whole sequence of Ron it's pregnancy quite weird and looks like the Cvs are purposely giving us a parallel to Sona's pregnancy. track. Ishus interference in that cannot be justified by drawing a parallel here. That went overboard and Dev too did some insensitive stuff there which can't be justified coz they r showing THE Bose fly do similar stuff
