From what I have seen in Purvi is that she is a sensible, hardworking, trusting,loyal, person. She has strong opinions and she voices them when needed. She is not a happy go lucky girl and she had to work hard for everything that she has. She was raised in a middle class family where every family member worked hard to earn their living for which you need inner strenght, dicipline etc. The society dictates the middle class on how to act and proceed with their actions. Purvi is very much living within those rules. Who would have taught her these values...neightbors? no it would be the people that she lived with or she was around.
there is nothing wrong with the sanskaar's that her mother gave her infact sometimes children that grow without the influence of a male person in their lives e.g a father or an uncle usually go out of hand before they reach puberty.
Archu and her mother were the only 2 people in Purvi's life and these two planted a seed of human values into the subconscious mind of Purvi during her childhood so that adherence of these values becomes part of her nature and keeps on guiding her throughout her life. A person acts according to the ideals which exist in his/her subconscious without being aware of them. Thus Purvi's decisions, her reactions to actions of , others and the quality of her actions depend upon the values existing in her subconscious. Conduct and behaviour of a person are always according to his/her inner values.
We all grew up with lot of values that we got from influential people in our lives. Ask yourself a question...was there not any time in our lives that we did when our conscience told us not to? That is how we end up learning from our judgement. Our judgement could be impaired at times but that does not mean that we had bad sanskaar!
Purvi has much better sanskaar than any young woman in PR. She was young when she had to learn quickly how to defend herself from the world, make money to survive, help out with the house chores, wear appropriate clothes, be respectful to people who deserved respect. She did not have the luxury of getting spoilt like Punni, Ovi, Tej and even Sachin.
She developed feelings for Arjun unknowingly. She was forced to accept her feelings by Arjun. Was there any fault of Purvi here? Only thing is that she did not tell her mother how she felt for Arjun. This was all because the time was not right as her mother was herself going through a hard time with Manav.
Few things happened in a row with poor Purvi.
First the engagement that came from nowhere in Arjun and Purvi's lives. Arjun was not engaged to Ovi at the time when he started loving and dating Purvi. His fault was that he did not connect with Ovi to tell her that. He did make many attempts.
Second, Purvi finds out that Arjun is getting engaged to her sister. Purvi is not like Punni...wanting all good stuff for herself at the cost of any lives.
Third, she is humilated by Punni and Ovi
How much can a person endure???? Purvi can't even stand up for herself in the current situation as she still feels like an adopted daughter. Archana HAS to protect Purvi. Every Tom Dick and Harry is either abusing her, slapping her, mentally torturing her.
Sorry guys I just went overboard...
Tulsey, I have been debating whether to do any post on Sanskar…to me Sanskar debate is a dead horse that has been beaten enough in this forum…I am not sure if anyone called Archu sanskar bad, rather simply overrated as the title of the post says…to me it seems we are back to square one of the poor vs the rich equation again, and the default simply being poor equates to good sanskar and rich equates to bad sansakar (in reality if this was the case, most of us could have been labeled with bad sanskar, right😃, but let me not divert)….
To begin with I don't find D's sanskar any bad than that of K's, actually if you think D's were much poorer to Archu and that was why the whole problem in PR started (in the beginning). As I see Savita done an wonderful job (with the help of that alcoholic Damo as her husband, no doubt😊) to raise all her kids, as all of her 3 kids Manav, Vandu and Sachin (I can't remember everything regarding Sachin now, but don't remember anything glaringly bad either in his characterization) turned out pretty good.
Then, when Manav became rich, his (the Arman's ) kids did turn out very well in spite of all the riches which in reality could have made them alcoholic, drug addict or whatnot that happens so often in this world, but so far I see them pretty level headed, except for that accusing feeling against Archu which to me is understandable…(Of course, the Cvs in their infinite wisdom might just show these very qualities in Arman's kids in their quest to glorify Archu's so called Sanskar over the rest of us mortal😊….anyway I divert again)…In fact, as you yourself say, without the money factor being there in Porvi's life a lot of added complexities are also removed..since having that in enough qualities does buy lot of added addictions as well… so in that section so far Arman's kids has done pretty good too…😃
I won't go in the dressing issue you bring up…I leave it as 'the eye of the beholder'….😊
But to me right now, the point of the debate isn't whether or either Desmukh's sanskar is bad or good against the K's sanskar (as in reality it is really hard to define what constitute a good and a bad sanskar – rather we in reality criticize sanskar after a particular event – Sanskar doesn't come in predefined protocol, if it did most parents could be relieved), but rather, the question is,…. if a mom should be so proud of that sanskar or have so much faith in her Sanskar that she ends up pushing her kid at a point of no return…and I say this as mom myself and to me, every mom should leave that door open for the kid to come back home safely, when 'that' situation arise…before declaring so highly her Sanskar to the world at large…😊, my POV of course...
