Heart goes out to Shomi

I did not say that she is not doing anything just because she is getting married to lucky.

I am saying that she is getting married to lucky, yet some of lucky's family's traditions are objectionable to her, specially the feet touching ritual, however the same family objected to shomi's cooking food for them and instead dadi cooked for them, and on being told about it, she is happy that finally dadi has accepted her as her naatin but did not realise that in dadi doing it for her, shomi lost out on her right. she should have realised that her mother will be happy for her daughter , but deep within will feel bad that she is being treated as an outcaste.

on a small sidenote, swara did question that whether her mother didn't cook because her sasuralwale wouldnt eat that food or not, and when she figured that was the case she was very upset, its just that shomi turned it around towards dadi. since then she's been too busy fighting drug feeders, phone stealers and unknown conspiring sister.

but overall, wonderful piece written. Shomi is the best character in show and perhaps one of three consistent ones. but one thing that irks me is her unwillingness to stand up for herself and her child. its always bothered me. its hard to be a single mother, i know cos i grew up with one, but then it becomes especially important that you have a voice. when she heard AP say that stuff to laksh she should've gone ahead and confronted her. she should've asked- why the double standard? why play with my child's dreams and expectations when you don't even see her as good enough for your son? why bring the rishta in the first place? we certainly didn't ask for it. you came to us asking for my daughter, then the least you owe her is some minimum respect.

wow !!!! you said it so much better than me...agree with you cent per cent... shomi needs to be stronger if not for her self then for her daughter swara. the way she was saying to ragini that she will break the alliance if ragini was not happy with swara's marriage alliance, never for once thinking how the maheshwari's would react , cos for her, her daughters were more imp. in keeping with this characterisation of hers, she should hv taken a stand for swara with annapurna when shd was discussing swara with lakshya, as u hv so rightly mentioned.
p.s you are such a strong lady tejaswini , my respect for you grows ever more, as i read your various posts and replies spread over the forum. your family members must b really proud to have u in their lives...salute!
