Glad to know other people are out there who share my views. The whole forum seemed to be sympathizing and aligning with Rudra's plight today - that I was compelled to make the post :) Also I don't mean to undermine all the ways Rudra saved Paro from a fate worse than death. But the end never justifies the means and hence "Just Desserts". Rudra though a decent person - made some choices and badly thought out decisions based on his base nature - in anger and without much thought. He is facing the consequences of his choices/actions now - just as Paro is facing the consequences of her choices/actions.
I've said this before and will say it again. Both are equallly culpable and equally flawed. Thats the beauty of RR for me. Its 2 imperfect people coming together and hopefully complementing each other to make a perfect pair.
