Try as I might, I cannot remove that tear stained, devastated face out of my sight!! That face has been haunting me for a few days now, but today, the desolation is complete!!
I have written about MaNan numerous times, rushing, gushing, drooling, fooling...but today all I can think about is Navya. Can't help going back to the first day she was introduced and when I look at what and where she is today, my mind goes numb. What a price to pay for being a fool in love!! And its such a common occurrence. So many of us act totally unreasonable in the throes of love, behaving like utter idiots!! Love does that to you, making you lose sanity, and in some extreme cases, identity.
Plenty here have no sympathies for her, feeling that she deserves what she got. Her utter besotted slavishness towards Harshad was the limit!! Her mindless worshipping of a hero with feet of clay, was intolerable to say the least. But, the punishment that is being meted out to her, is too big in comparison to her crime. The price she is being asked to pay, unacceptable.
Can't help thinking about her predicament, or more specifically about any other girl in such a situation. 17 and pregnant!! No hopes from the guy, or family. Utter defamy and notoriety waiting at every step. Sheer cruelty breathing down your neck. A girl staring straight into the dark eyes of utter despair for the rest of her life. No present, no future and no prospects. What will she do?? What can any girl in this situation really do??
Navya's dilemma has opened my mind and heart to the status of such girls in society. Rest assured they are finished, destroyed for life. Whatever might come out of this in this fictional show, in real life, in a tradition bound country like India, where societal rules can be lethal, Navya Naveli died the day she declared her pregnancy fearlessly. Everything, a life, with hopes and aspirations and dreams, burnt to ashes in the blink of an eye!! A mistake committed by two, and even after eons of progress, the price is still being paid by one!! We might delude ourselves that we live in a world where women are more or less equal...what bullshit!!
Is there any solution to this problem?? If the guy acknowledges his mistake...marry him @17 and be a mom?? Or if the guy refuses...pressurize him , force him into a relationship that will be a living hell for both...sorry for all three?? Or drag him to court for justice, airing your dirty linen in public, so one and all can enjoy this tamasha?? Fighting a crusade in public, ignoring the laughing stock, or the scandal hot spot you make out of yourself and your family, when you let the whole world peek into your bedroom?? Get the guy to aye or pay...No problem if he is jerk, a ba****, a creep and he doesn't want to be a part of this?? Go public with guns blazing fighting for the right or keep you shameful secret hidden, praying its never found by anyone, and lick your wounds in private?? Or simply go and abort the child ?? Get the deed done and try to forget the sordid mess?? What do you feel then?? Do you feel guilty for the rest of your life for killing an unborn...your unborn...or are you able to put it behind you, move on and start afresh? And what if in future you meet another guy...will he be able to accept you with this huge past??
My mind boggles, stares at various options, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what is the solution to this life shattering, soul scarring situation...all I can say is...I would hate to be in Navya's shoes today!! All I feel is a selfish feeling of thank god, I am not standing where she is...and pray that this does not happen to any girl..ever!!
