Love, I am really sorry to have taken up so much time. 🥱 Alright, here's my take on your topic. And hey, nice initiative, I get the point!

Every society has its pros and cons, you know and not everybody tries to blend in. There are many who criticize the functioning of a society but nobody is up for a change. The indo-western culture is rather dangerous. Everybody needs the rejuvenation, of course - the Indian society is oppressive. But then, there are certain fundamentals that are so well-fixed in the people's mind, that they neglect the change, some even oppose.

In an early promo of this serial, Navya puts up a question that if somebody really has to get indulged in something unacceptable, can that not be done before dusk? Twas strikingly appealing and is one of the reasons why I started watching the show.

This society, I find unreal. People live more for the society, less for themselves. It's derogatory over here, very hypocritical. If you come to a place like Delhi from Kanpur, it is best you get accustomed with the city's functioning - but what's stupid is, the elders expect there'd be no change. You adapt everything modern from cars to mobiles to computers but the girls of your house need to maintain the 'decorum'. The decency quotient is associated with the female all the time, it is insane of people.

If we go ask them reasons to their beliefs, we'd be considered ungrateful or disrespectful. Though the truth shall always be the same, logoon ka yahan kuch nahi ho sakta! 😆 Thus, I'd decided long back to flee away. Ha!

Hi!
There is nothing wrong in trying to be cool and being modern. The definition of what is cool and what is not varies from person to person. What is important is that in trying to be cool one should not be fake. One should be himself/herself because I'm sure that fake people are not very appealing. The other thing is that being cool is not behaving rudely, using abusive language or blindly following the latest trends. Being a teenager a cool person to me is someone who can carry oneself well in terms of attitude(not fake) and also dressing style.
I like the family-concept of Indian society. The way parents are protestive about their children is good. It is not found to this extent in the west. Moreover I do like the basic etiquettes taught with respect to showing respect to elders, obedience and other manners.
But then there are really too many negative things found in our society. I really do not like the conservative attitude of the society. I dislike the way women are taken to be inferior(even today in some way or the other). I don't like the way they are supposed to be submissive. I don't think interacting with boys is bad but unlike Western culture I do not like the idea of meaningless relationships meant for time-pass.
As for Navya, I am really enjoying the show. I hope the story will be developed well as it has a good cast. I think this type of crushes in school college life is very common. Most of us experience it. I also think that we too are scared of our parents as they also impose restrictions on us which we don't like. So in this way I relate to this show.

"The other thing is that being cool is not behaving rudely, using abusive language or blindly following the latest trends."

But today many youngster believe vwearing those jazzy outfit and bullying others is kind of cool and feels they have power.... For example, Sonia in this show....

Yes, But sometimes, they are over protective, this makes children too dependent on parents for everything.... Yes,,, Too Much freedom spoils them, but extent of protectivness, differes for boys and girls, girls as shown in Navya Promo, Have to be back by 7.00 and boys have lil freedom.....
Okay I agree, to that in India, Some people are too bad, that its unsafe, so its care of parents that tells us to be back, but then this limit, should be lil later,. like 10 at night...
Moreover I do like the basic etiquettes taught with respect to showing respect to elders, obedience and other manners.

Yes, Navya is different show, and Crush shown here, is very much similar, lolzzz girls mostly do fall first for the guy and guy does not have any clue about it...
Even if children are friends with parents, they won't tell parents about their crush that easily, until, Like and Love is from both sides.... I am not really scared of telling parents these things, but the fear, that mom's love for me will spill out something in front of other person...
