I don't even know where to begin my complaints with the showđ. I haven't expected such juvenile explanations to genuine questions...Let me start from their angle, they chose Hindu Shaadi. Okay. Have they tried to explain themselves better in that at least? I am amazed how they laid emphasis on the 'process' , 'rituals' part of it alone... They are just symbolisms to something MORE meaningful. From what I've read or heard, it's not the processes involved in the wedding that is of importance but the vedic chants, the vows taken and use of elements of nature like fire, water that gives sanctity to marriage.And what did they show here? They haven't even explained themselves well enough... Pooja going all " SHAYAD in varmala there is eeshwar", "SHAYAD in ghatbandhan there is eshwar who unite people " ... What Shayad, shayad? At least explain the IMPORTANCE of these things?!I completely understand the importance of rituals. They are symbolism to a person's beliefs... But at least KNOW what they stand for? What is the SIGNIFICANCE of a particular ritual. Has Pooja even explained significance at all?And all the big deal about sindoor. In NO marriage, be it north, south, east or west Indian does sindoor signify getting married... It's all serial tripe. Sindoor is JUST a symbol, a signpost that you are married. It's the Pheras, muhurat that define marriage...Phere coz you a are taking vows in presence of people and nature (fire) that you'll respect this union. And THAT is the common factor in every religion... They give utmost importance to the SPOKEN WORD, the VOW of marriage... How did this simple thing escape the writers?@combining God and Spirituality you mentioned - I am deadly confused.đ All through initial episodes they haven't laid emphasis on God factor of spirituality. I've quite liked that... We've even seen Naren telling his Mom/Pooja that " He doesn't understand their kanhaiya and his leela" during rangali episodes... He believes in God/Supreme power but might not be in the conventional sense... THAT was refreshing... But what is happening now? Does he still maintain that stand or it's all muddled up in head as well like ours?I can only say that they tried have shamelessly chickened out of tackling the questions they made Naren ask as they might not be 'safe' answers.They spectacularly failed at explaining their POV through Pooja properly. There is NO conviction in their explanation, it's half-baked and half-hearted.Whether we agree or not, if the writers believed to find God in marriage rituals they should've EXPLAINED their stand better. WHY they are so supreme in their eyes. Agreed or not, we would've at least left it as other POV... Here we've got NOTHING.@Spirituality : I think it is universal. Humanity, Compassion, Affection... Universal emotions despite of your religious inclinations. Follow any path or means, you ultimately reach certain postulates. Even I've expected they'd take such a route that whatever they make Naren question and get his answers in will have some universal appeal to it...You know like the Panchatantra stories or even Aespos' tales? They have no religious tones or rituals, they are just stories on morals and ethics... Which have universal appeal...
