@lalsunvid, what growth? Does God need any growth? The Dev Dixit, the God, is perfect. Everyone else just has to accept and accolade on his perfection or whoever he considers to be perfect, like his mother...I am just sick of this mother-son duo's character.
Sonakshi is always the one getting manipulated because she doesn't know how to keep her dignity.
She doesn't need to justify, beg, plead for others to keep her dignity, she just has to stand up for herself.
Let me share a personal story to you.
My mother is to some extent like Asha except she is super loyal to me. She is of the opinion that a man, at any point of time, knows better than a woman about everything.
So if I ask her to do something, she needs a man's verification that I am on the right track. Needless to say that it pisses me off to no end.
Few years ago, for a certain change in my passport, I had to put an ad in an Indian newspaper regarding the change. I wrote the ad that was to be published in the paper, sent the money and the ad lib and asked my mother just to walk over to the closest English newspaper office, hand over the money and the ad I wrote and they will just publish it.
How difficult is the process to understand?
But nope, she decided to walk over to her uncle who is also our next door neighbour and wanted to confirm with him if what I wrote in the ad was good enough for my purpose.
Now keep in mind, her uncle who is my great uncle is in his 70s and had never gone through the same process I was going through living all his life in India (I was permanent resident of Canada with Indian passport). Yet, he decided to give his not-so-expert opinion on my ad and re-wrote my ad. My mother didn't bother informing me of this incident. She just took the new ad, went to the newspaper office, gave them extra money out of her pocket since the ad was now bigger and published it.
I asked her to send me the copy of the newspaper. She sent me a picture and then she said that she will courier the page the next day. I see, the ad is now not only longer, but my birth date, my passport details, my canadian PR card no., my husband's name etc. every single confidential information that will be dream of any identity thief, is on a national English newspaper for all and sundry to see.
Could you imagine my anger at that point of time?
And guess what? When I asked her what she did and why did she changed the ad? She said, But honey. I thought I will confirm with Mama to see if there is anything you missed. I tried to call your husband to confirm, but I could not reach him.
My brain just simply exploded. So I was like, So let me get this straight. Mama Dadu who is 70, never lived outside India and my husband who is born Canadian would know about this process better than me who actually went through the process, researched everything and told you in specific instructions on what to do just because they happen to be men and I am a women so what do I know?
So see, this is my mother. That's why when Sona left the room, I could understand her frustration and let down. But at the same time, I won't have left. I would have asked my mother the exact question that I wrote in my post.
That if taking care of the whole family doesn't give me the right to take decisions, then what gave Dev the right to take the decisions for our family? Should I then go slap dad and kick all of you out of your house in the middle of the night to be considered worthy of taking decisions for our family?
But then I am outspoken. I speak up whatever is in my head. May be that's why I have never been abused or manipulated by any one.
