Good post Stephy.
I too like the show so far. And the double standard of treating boys and girls differently is getting old in this day and age.
Women have great careers in sports and should be encouraged.
But the obsession we have that a woman is not complete without marriage has always irked me.
Dharaa's grandmother has an eye to see in her grand-daughter that she has a "Junoon" for playing Cricket but does not see fit to give her a chance to show if she can succeed in following her dream.
And getting her ready to be a good wife she spends all her time in teaching her... when she does not know if she will be a good wife with the resentment she will feel in trying to be a good wife ,especially after giving up her passion to play Cricket.
And the guy that came to see her was definitely spineless but I have a feeling seeing his mother, that they will be around for some time.
I hope Dharaa does not give up her dream for a man like him.
