I have lost faith since the day he was alright with sleeping on the floor :P
Kiddo, now I see what it is that you do not like about Onir!đ It is that he is not masterful at all. What you want is the proper he man type who would just as likely put his love firmly in her place and spank her good and proper as he would sweep her off her feet! My generation would say Humphrey Bogart in any of his films, Casablanca for choice,or Clark Gable as Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind. I do not know whom your generation would pick.
My dearest Pari, Onir was never made of such stuff, and by now his Circe of a Mishti has knocked out whatever stuffing there was in him to begin with, so that he is like a straw puppet, poor chap. Or the shorn Samson. At least Delilah loved Samson after her own twisted fashion. Purvi does not love anyone, except perhaps Archana.

Shyamala Aunty,I agree I haven't watched the episodes yet so do not have the context well probably. so you may be right about what he said in what context. I still do think baby swap was very wrong and it may not equate to organ traficking but it makes Onir more of a criminal in my mind is because he is a doctor, an OBGYN who did it. He used to walk around with a lot of advice about babies and motherhood to Ovi and simply having delivered so many babies in his lifetime or having so much experience with moms, he should have done better than being blind in love. But I guess, you are right, we may never agree on Onir on this count :) you are optimistic and I have lost faith since the day he was alright with sleeping on the floor :P

Pari,
You and I are never going to agree on Onir, so we will shelve that.
But I do not agree with your "His cockiness about doing samaaj seva and hence being saved from the clutches of the law was the last straw for me to give him any credit. His samaaj seva bhalai is of no use if he uses it like an ace to win favors." for a different reason.
What he means there is not that he should get brownie points for his samaj seva and should thus not be penalised for the baby swapping, He is not referring to that charge at all, as is clear from what he says next at this point.He is in fact referring to the organ trafficking charge, of which he knows that he is completely innocent.
What he means is that because of his life having been dedicated to serving the poor without any remuneration, he has built up such a solid reputation that no one would attach any credence to an organ trafficking charge against him. That is a very different thing from claiming some sort of immunity from the baby swapping charge because he has done so much good to the poor. When you have rewatched that passage, you will agree with me.
