A Female's Dignity

Sigh. I have no idea why I am even bothering to type this out. I am not a women-have-to-maintain-the-decorum fan but today, Navya reached out to me pretty well. That is sick of me, sure but the show's kind of helping me understand the queer and illogical restrictions my girl-friends are exposed to. So, way to go, writers, dun mess up the show please!

Navya was concerned about Sonia and she's brainy, so we'd not like to believe she had an idea, Sonia despised and treated her like a parasite or something. Anyhow, Navya behaved in a not-so-dignified manner, inquiring about her health in that hour of the night. Dignity is dignity, like a constant number - in any of its dimensions; it shall be the same then why is that two insults of different natures act on Navya's dignity differently?

Navya even confronted Sonia and believed it was her duty to conceal the truth regarding Sonia's disappearance. And tonight, when she was subjected to embarrassment right in the middle of the class - she burst into tears. All her friends, and Anant also whose sister happened to mess his CD thing and put him through that went out running for her.

Being concerned about somebody gets you their wrath and you're insulted but you do not mind whereas when something such as this happens wherein your new-found friend's sister burns his mischief on a CD and he mistakenly submits it as his project and you know he's a lad who's most likely never to do that to you, you run out of the class, with tears welded to your eyes and you are totally embarrassment-ridden.

I agree, the nature of both these insults is in contrast. But somehow, they highlight our society's double standards, or decently-speaking, how a female tends to be in our nation. Her dignity is several things to her. She'd compromise with it for the sake of compassion but she'd never let understanding or even truth come in her way to feel offended and shaken of what somebody, such as a male put her through. Exclusively a male, I should say. Her dignity is several things to her.

Your views?

that was quite thought-provoking kankster😊...i'm still thinkin how 2 frame my opinion ...so i'm just gonna take some time..but i'll post my reply asap...

HEy Kanshita,
I agree and disagree with your post!
well, I understand your stand wen it comes to how Navya must have felt and what made her take this entire "scene" on the level of dignity..
but at the same time, I feel that she did not need to take it to that level!
I think she should have stayed back, got up and questioned Anant right there wat and how did he end up showing taht cd in class!
I think that wud have been a much better approach!Not only wud it shut up those crackpots who were having a laugh session for free, but it wud also let the girl power rule!
Ritz was right wen she said..come back to the classroom, its not your fault!
I wud have loved if Navya wud have listened to Ritz..
she shd have had the guts to get back, and face the situation..coz it was obviously not her fault!
Anyways, I can even relate to your analysis!good job!
Love,
Ritz!

Well, I dun object on that. I liked how she managed the thing as well.

Lady, that is not what I talked about in the post. See, I'm a help-you die-hard as well and it is noble and nice and all that. Basically, I put forth in the comparison that Navya did not mind being held responsible for Sonia's businesses even after she was mighty rude to her in the hospital, I was talking solely about that insult which in my opinion is a dignity-shaker.

Fair enough. I agree. The way Sonia treated her in hospital was extremely rude but I guess it's in Navya's nature to forgive or to just move on?

For the kind of person I am, I might get up and clap and whistle and tell the boy the pictures were amazing right there. But somehow, Navya is not me - she is like my girl-friends, mostly so I understand the drift.

😆 When I read the first line I was feeling bad about the fact that I can't whistle no matter how hard I practise :(

My parents would find the idea of throwing me out really offering but uh, I am not a photo-session-with-hunks fan, though if I get pictures clicked with my guy-friends, I would not mind and if others would, I'd already know I dun give a shit. Navya has been brought up like many many gals I know and I second you on that. I am expected to grow into a lady like her as well, but I know I am a young woman with no such intentions. So, I think I will really have to be her or you or a random friend of mine to understand this whole issue.

My say was just that our society is funnily oppressive and the female here is a complicated element.

ha, your quite a character then, aren't you? I don't think Navya's trying to behave like a lady though; after all, a lady would never run in public :P Just kidding :) I think if you just keep up your analysis of her in the show, you'll be able to understand her. That's if the CVs stick to their guns and portray what they have set out to portray. But understanding an issue from all POV may be quite a task to achieve for anybody. At least your open to trying to understand, which is a big deal for any young woman! :)

Yes, society is more judgmental about females and it plays a huge role on the way we behave whether we like it or not. I guess, that's why Navya is so complicated (and so are you by the way lol). I would say that many girls in this day of age are pushing against the limitations set by society.

My perception is still the same, or maybe a tad bit tricky. Anyway, it was nice to yours. I await your reply too now. =]

Twas nice speaking to you :)

Hope to interact with you in many more topics to come ;)

-Anushka

Really agree with your post! That would have been a much better approach.

Thanks Anushka..
Yeah, maybe you are right..maybe the world will take her "right" if she gets up, cries and runs away!
But I wud still choose to face the problem rather than running away!
Some people wud appreciate even that gesture!
Though, the way Navya's cahracter has been carved, it wud look very unusual for her to do something as bold as staying and facing!
So characterwise, I agree with ya!😳

my question is if navya became joke of class then anant also plus first time anant opened with another girl other then his sister ,he also became the joke of class,plus he also belongs to strict family then he dint look embarised like navya ,???????????????
