This kind of post is exactly what gets me irked enough to indulge in aggravated assault. But then the civil me, has the sensibility to let it go and serenity to accept that there shall always be whack jobs in this world and I am nobody to judge them or their PoV's. Cause if I did that not only it would be a violation of basic human rights but also it would mean I am not raised to respects others. And that is certainly not the case.
This post is going to be very offensive..and yes in your's you have apologized in advance. So I am returning the favor... I will offend you first and then apologize...That seems to be the norm anyways.
And no I am not delusional, in a fiction or otherwise, I know where to draw the lines. Yes it's entertainment. We watch soaps not for gyaan.
Time pass hai, sab chalta hai, bas masala hona chahiye. Why should one reflect on the deeper underlying interpretations such a story line inevitably exposes itself to??? Especially in current times of hardened reality where women are subjugated by means of physical and emotional torture.
I have been wronged, people have not been fair to me as well. I have been victimized as well not like MB but like most normal people do. That doesn't spur me on to become a gun touting, extortioner you know. My heart of platinum won't count if I think staying away from drugs is credit enough. I will only beat up, kidnap and mint money out of people with deep pockets who are wealthy selfish cretins of the society. They are wrong, so beating them up and taking their money is right. I am a do good-er you see. And yes, I can't question a parents unconditional love for his/her offspring and how he or she is raised, but I can definitely ask as a part of the society if teaching your child to be heartless and ruthless is the right way to hold a mirror to the world he/she lives in. Btw, MB is questioning that too.
I can tell my child, esp a girl, how to be around people you know and even those you don't. You can have fun but you will tell mummy if there's anything that you makes you uncomfortable. I am going to equip my child with knowledge of what to expect and what not to, what you could do and who to come to with anything. I am not going to tell my child that you have beat up , scare, threaten and assault others because they make you uncomfortable.
Coming to the bigger whack job of the two, RK. That piece of shit, uses the excuse of
a troubled childhood, namely the trauma of losing a parent and acquiring a step one
a betrayed adulthood, , namely the Deepali affair,
to be the rude hell boy, treating people like shit.
And of course you can turn an blind eye to your grieving mother and be dismissive of her love for you because she doesn't do what you think is right. Being judgmental is such an attractive trait.
Long story short, you have the right to be an asshole if life has been unfair to you. People will love you for your attitude and if you deem fit to be dismissive of others , manipulate and wreck havoc in other's lives you are oh so adorable. And you deserve to be loved despite all your fallacies.
As a man in the relationship that you forge as man and wife.. ( I am not getting into the how of that marriage came about).. you can be cunning, liar, possessive, full of malice, insulting to your wife, also a human being..only because you couldn't come to terms with being slapped for a wrong you have done.
That's love. You can beat someone to near death, then repent, and all will be forgiven. We are supposed to empathize with that. You can't say sorry like a normal person and let the other person be after your elaborate revenge plan has borne the results exactly as you had intended.
But no, now you are such a baby that while you can live with what you have done, what you can't come to terms with is, how on earth can the person I wrecked able to move on. NO ways. I should make sure she shall never be able to lead a normal life. She should always live with nursing wounds I give her and accept being victimized. I don't like her dare. So I am going to throw tantrums and with all the warped ideas in my head, I am going to call it love.
That was all about the story so far...
In reality, women put up with violence , abuse and torture, behind closed doors and in open too because pati is freaking parmeshwar. Living live as a single, keeping your self safe from preying wolves and the economics of it all is scarier than having to put with a mad man. S,o one chooses the lesser of the two evils. Ab kya kar sakte hai, apna naseeb hai.
That's the way it is, spouse is possessive..its easier to think its his love than to fight it.
spouse is abusive, its easier to think its his love than to put an end to it. After all, one would be without a roof and money, not to mention the stigma attached to the rebel in a woman.
I am unsure if the forum is populated by women fans alone. But ladies ( a presumption ) I really do wish that we all did a favor to ourselves and to women hood and not take shit like this even in fiction. Drama is good. But sub consciously people need to have a shift in their mindsets. Balaji effing ( cant use the f word) telefims portrayed swansongs with their women on top, ideal bahu, beti, saas...women are at helm and in the eye of the storm... and she is viewed as strong because she puts up with philandering , roving eyed hubbies, his extra marital affairs, illegitimate children, adultery etc etc...
Women don't need to shout out from roof tops for equality and dignity. Its not something we have to ask for. we are born with it. If the equation is skewed, your collective actions should tip the balances. Entertainment is good after a long hard tiring day, making mindlessness inclusive is not.
I am not a feminist, in case you have judged me to be so going by the tone of this post. I am just another girl next door asking you to rethink what you absorb in name of entertainment and not allow superficial viewing to seep into your sub conscious minds. I am not belittling anyone here or their thought processes. It's a fact that slowly and steadily, the corruption of minds has brought about the stinking MCP's out in the open. It will take another 50 years to reverse the damages. Before even worrying on how to reform men, women can start by being assertive themselves, when needed that it, in heir everyday lives, on occasions that count.
Don't accept crap even in the name of entertainment. Let me quote something from my life..
I danced to a very peppy medley of item number on women's day party at office. everyone gushed over me and complimented me and somehow in the following days I was called the chammiya, a la rakhi sawant..a jalebi bai by a couple of colleagues. While they dint really mean offense, but I was taken aback by how quickly women label each other. Why allow anybody taking you lightly even for fun? Videos were shared and even the men folk hanging around pantry area complimented my moves.
I don't regret the dance, I love the adulation, but I don't like the labeling. Not even for fun. You concede in small little skirmishes and you lose the battle. Nobody wants to be on guard 24/7 but be aware of the shit people talk to in your face. Give it back to them right their, not later, not in private, not behind closed doors.
Ok even I am tiring of this rant and gyaan.. I hope the point I intended to communicate has gotten across. We are on IF, means we are literate. The object was not to mock or be condescending ( no pun intended ). I am a nobody and I have no qualms about being anything otherwise, I genuinely want women to bring about all the changes they wish on their own terms, starting with themselves...
You have the right to be dismissive of me. You have the right to your PoV. Just extend that courtesy to others.
