Very right! The older gens had this pattern of letting down their better halves at the drop of a hat if any misunderstanding stems up. Then to speak back or stand for oneself was never a welcome thing. The more one would clarify, adverse would b the effect. Also most were joint families. 90s era was a mix of the cult...where husbands tried to b diplomatic to both parties and maintaining the bond.😆 Nowadays nuclear families have made it much simpler as young couples move away from their parents after marraige and the spouses have only their issues to handle.
Mehr...this strikes me...this was a beautiful topic for discussion. Y cant v have sticky threads for Discussion of the week (one issue topic discussed per week)...game of the week etc to increase forum activity. Especially weekends. May b v can have DOTW started for every week on saturday and the weekend keeps the forum busy...in Krpkab v had many writers due to the issues addressed. V can very much start on the same lines here...
Totally agree with both of you. Initially Chacha seemed the sensible one amongst the Agarwals. But with this Bela chachi incident, he has fallen low. Demeaning your own wife in such manner and for what? She told the truth . So she was not diplomatic and did not lie to cover up the fault of the great Rakesh Agarwal. And then to say he would forgive his wife if his good for nothing brother forgives her...what sort of behavior is this? It makes the word "forgiveness" look so cheap. Chacha knows Rakesh will never genuinely forgive Bela. So what good is that word which basically becomes meaningless in this scenario? They could have taken a different route to raise Sam in Naina's eyes. In their defence the makers might say that such things happen in real life too. While I agree to that, I wish they had done it some other way giving a positive message. Isn't that what TV is supposed to do?
About the discussion topics, it is a great idea. But Meher, it is not just laziness. Such discussions require maturity and in depth thinking. It should not be construed as ML versus FL warzone. Most often, it tends to go in that direction. So if we have a thread like that, we need to tread cautiously and keep the forum free of such negativity.
