The Swing- Jhoola - Page 2

Sabita, the swing was not the issue here. It was another example of Dev's worthless words and promises. He says a lot of things, but never keeps them. He said Sona could do anything that made her happy. He said that all it matters to him is that Sona is happy. What load of bull. He didn't keep any of his words when he again brought his marriage issues outside his bedroom to his mother and his mother walked into her married son's room and got the swing removed which Sona bought for herself.

If I was Sona I'll start removing things from Ishwari's bedroom and see how she likes that.

Tia my girl first of all a big hug to you for the frustration that Dev the character is creating. I do realize the swing is not an issue here and the issue is with Dev and his broken promises. Just like I told Geena if you do not know right from wrong or taught right from wrong how can you even make any positive changes. We all agree that as a parent Easwari is the worst kind , she neglected her daughter, made sure Dev was successful to get them out of the rut but did she really give them life lessons? In my opinion NO.

I truly believe that every child deserves a childhood where they can just be a child not worry about very many things that is the parents job to worry about them. As parents we teach them right from wrong correct them when they are wrong praise them when they are right so make them accountable here where has Easwari done that with any of her kids then how can we expect them to behave like responsible adults?

So for me Dev and Neha deserves a lot of pity but not anger. Because if you do not know what you are doing is wrong you cannot correct them. Unfortunately Sona is in the mix and that is sad.

Great post! While I know that the jhoola is not the issue, I love the way it is being used to highlight what is: Sona's belonging in this household. Honestly, I loved the episode. It is most satisfying to see Sona assert her right to space, and to see Dev squirm in discomfort, given how easy he has had it all this time. Gosh, if Sona had been like this since day one, she would have saved herself so much heartache!

Dev can run (to mommy) but he can't hide from Sona's discerning eye. She will notice his clothes are gone from the wardrobe and her disgust and displeasure will be enough to redirect Dev's attention towards herself. Like she asked, is it too much for him to push her kurtas aside to look for his shirt? Can he really not adjust even that much? Dev's answer is, of course, throwing money at the problem and getting a new wardrobe... no surprises there!

This feels like a role reversal of the week just after marriage, where Sona was bending backwards to please Ishwari and DB. I still think that her reluctance to engage physically with Dev came from the discomfort she felt in new surroundings that were rather hostile to her entry. Now Dev is the one who is being forced to adjust to new surroundings, and he finally understood today what it meant not to be in the mood for intimacy. It's so much easier when you're in your own comfort zone, huh Dev?

Last time Sona realised that her own discomfort felt like rejection to Dev, and she handled the situation beautifully when she arranged their resort date. This time, it is Dev's turn to step up. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but Ishwari only ever says "I know my son" when she is about to be proven dreadfully wrong. Change is a-comin'!

@dlavanya knowing right from wrong but still doing the wrong in my opinion is again a teaching failure in this case bad parenting .

Your child does a mistake he or she knows they did a mistake no adult calls out the child on that the child will repeat the wrong again even though he comprehends he or she did wrong because there has been no accountability here Dev has no accountability so he lies, uses money to buy his way, finds easy way out for everything and hopes things will go his way and always it has and that is what I was alluding to

P.S By no means am I a Dev supporter I just feel he has skewed sense of right from wrong and never been held accountable by no means that makes it right but that is what I think is happening here..some people will just learn the hard way and I think he will too
