ISHRA OS: IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE

Hi Aru, Thank you so very very much for this OS and the dedication. I loved loved loved it. I just wish they give us a proper conclusion to this track. You know, my feelings about IshRa and how I had told you I don't feel for them anymore ? Your OS has brought out that tiny bit of spark in me again... I am just waiting for it to fan back into a conflagration!

I would also like to take this opportunity and your thread for another comment, defending my Puttar, may I please beg your indulgence ?

IN DEFENSE OF RAMAN KUMAR BHALLA

You know I was a hardcore IshRa fan and I have never said either Ishita or Raman is my favourite. I love both of them with a ferocity. People have until now seen me defending Ishita under any and every circumstance. Even when the whole forum was baying for Ishu's blood, I stood by her.

Yesterday, I wrote on Krishy's thread that I did not have it in me to defend Puttar, but I may find some reason in retrospect. Then I read a comment on the LU, and I did begin introspecting. I looked back over the various episodes and I realized I had to defend Puttar, against all odds.

I need to thank two people for this :

1. Ms. Diya Rathore who commented on LU about Raman and his behavior during the accident track;

2. Meri pyari, meri dulari, mere jigar ka tukda, meri ankhon ka tara, and everyones' favourite, Ms. Priya Ray, who said Puttar was in character!

Today, I stand by my puttar. Is Raman wrong ? Of course he is! He is duping his wife, he is creating an atmosphere of distrust and mistrust. He has done something that is morally wrong because he is equating Ishita's happiness with her having biological child, and he wants that by hook or by crook. He is unable to understand that He, Adi and Ruhi are her happiness, and she is content with that. He is taking a route that will bring him a lot of pain and unhappiness. But in his mind the end justifies the means.

Raman Kumar Bhalla is an emotional, sensitive man who reacts first and thinks of the consequences later. Does that make him a bad person? Of course not !

People are questioning whether he loves Ishita ? Does he ? No he does not just Love Ishita! He is obsessed by her. Ishita is not just his life, she is his obsession! He will do anything for her to the extent that he is groveling before the bitch of his ex-wife, willing to be her pawn again, so that he can give Ishita what he thinks she deserves and wants.

Do you remember him in the initial episodes of YHM? He was obsessed by Aditya. Remember the Holi incident? He runs after Aditya to pacify him after Aditya sees him and Ishita dancing and he tell him he will do anything he asks? What does he do? For Aditya he is willing to ask Ishita to apologise to Shagun. He realized that he has done something wrong that night when he cries in front of Toshi.

Do you remember the conversation Raman and Ishita have during the accident track when she finds him coming out of the hotel carrying Shagun in his arms? He knows he has done wrong but he is willing to hurt Ishita to save Adi. In the current track his brain has stopped functioning because he is just thinking with his heart and he is reacting to that.

The same goes for his behavior with Mihir. May be this over reaction of his regarding Rinky is because somewhere he knows that Rinky has played dirty with Mihir and he needs to get his anger out and Mihir is the best scapegoat he can get.

People are going overboard hating puttar, and these are the Raman fans. I would just say, please go to the earlier episodes and realise, puttar has not changed, he still is the sensitive, reaction based guy who gave up his presidentship for Ishita without a thought. Today, he is behaving like a senseless idiot, but he is doing it for Ishita.

Please guys, give Puttar chance.

I don't know if I have made sense, coz to me Puttar is still the same amazing guy that I fell in love with and I fell in love with him all over again yesterday!.
