@gt, Such a well written post.
Different people will have different perspectives so please don't take the views personal. I can relate to your life experiences because I also have similar experiences in life. All my childhood went in my grand parents house and till I got married most of my life went in boarding school and hostel. I hardly spent 3yrs with my parents which I don't even remember properly. But some things are still imprinted in my mind like my mom used to leave for work before we wake up then my dad used to take care of us, giving bath, making us ready for the school, feeding us etc and then he used to drop us at school before leaving for his office. I feel people hardly notice or appreciate these efforts that includes wives. My mom never leave any opportunity to mention about all her sacrifices behind her success where as my dad never ever mentioned all the compromises and adjustments he did for us including my mom. When we treat relationships with love that gives happiness in life but when we treat relationships as responsibilities then that adds burden on our shoulders. I hope you understood the difference between Dev and Sona's ways of handling relationships.In my childhood when ever some one asks me that whom I love more, dad or mom, my immediate answer was my dad. Even today that answer remains same but that doesn't mean that I don't respect my mom. My mom and dad both are self made individuals. I can share anything with my dad but that may not be the case with my mom. Most of us asked especially shaavi that is Sona ready to accept this reality or not? This is just an example.I still have many compliments with the way makers are presenting sona's character like a pendulum. They really need clarity on whether she is doing a sacrifice by taking this deal or it's a mutual decision? As a viewer, as a wife, as a mother, I just want to ask one question to Sona, Still how many years she needs to trust Dev and become a equal partner in their relationship? Why he needs to beg for her trust and for a chance before her even today? Is love without trust love at all?Will she ever learn to work as a team with Dev without going back to her pendulum mode? Will she ever learn to accept the consequences of her decisions with dignity without running away from failures or without using blame game?When it comes to Bose's that includes Sona also, all I want to say is - People who lives in glass house should not throw stones at others. Before judging and pointing fingers at others, we first need to look at ourselves.Apart from this, I completely agree with latest Grace post regarding where and why most of us not able to digest this role reversal.
