I completely agree with your analysis..had made a similar post a few days ago...the only one that I hurt for is PAri...all the others are suffering the consequences of their own actions...one can feel sorry for them for the people they are...and for the choices they made...but not for what they are going through...they have brought it on themselves...
I know this may not be the place for spiritual or philosophical discussions...but I just want to share something small...my mother lost her first two children before I was born...she once told me that, in the spur of the moment and while in a very depressed state of mind, she had wished her first born had not been born at all...and hardly a few days later, she lost him...there were medical reasons for the loss as also for the loss of the second child..and yet, my mother believed that one moment of negative thought cost her the child..my mother says there are angels that we Hindus call as Tatasthu devas hovering around all the time...they keep uttering the word tatasthu...meaning may you be granted what you wish for...my mother keeps asking me to guard my tongue and thought...she says you never know what wish might end up being granted...
Ovi did not want the baby in the first place...she tried her best to get rid of it...given that her marriage was a mess and not exactly a love match, it was not a great place to bring a baby into...but then the marriage was a consequence of her emotional blackmail...and she alone was to blame for that...granted that Arjun may have let her down...but the fact that she still tried to push for the relationship, knowing what Arjun felt for Purvi, clearly implicates Ovi...
Ovi decided to keep the baby when she was told that it would help to forge a bond with Arjun...so, the baby was a pawn at the end of the day...a bargaining chip...not something that she desired for or wanted from the bottom of her heart...so maybe, just maybe, her earlier desire to get rid of the child was granted when she finally lost it...
No, no mother deserves to lose a child...it is the worst and most horrible thing you can wish on anyone...but yet, strange are the ways of God and Nature...
Ovi deserved to mourn her child...no question about that...however, I do not get the rationale behind the family or even Arjun mourning the lost child at the cost of one that is alive..,,,there is nothing you can offer the one who is gone...and yet, there is everything to offer and do for the one who is still left in your care...
Ovi's child deserves to be mourned...but let us not blame Pari for being alive...she did not ask to...!
