Dadi and Taiji--Though Wrong still Right!

But the only difference is the approach.

Like Nanu its more of a friendly and lucid manner of making Sameer understand.

While in case of Dadiji its more of authorative.

In case of Naina its the difference between Taiji and Chachiji.

Being young and so called teenagers we don't like to listen to anything contradicting our thoughts..So is the case of Sameer.

And elders being experienced ones like Taiji and Dadiji know the pros and cons of this hormonal mess.

They are just trying to protect them from being in problem because they know its very difficult to handle emotional and hormonal mess at a time.

But what they are fearing .its already over...the damage has already been done...

I just hope Naina gets back her emotional balance..Though I know its very diificult..

P.S.:Dad kan pain daranti..Because se eei sabu mess re thile..Se daranti sethipain emti huanti.

Dadi as you mentioned has been pretty strict in her mentoring of Rohan but we also cannot deny the fact that she is doing it because she wishes to see Rohan achieve things in life. She belongs to a generation where she must have seen extreme discipline and hence she thinks that is the only way a person can be successful. And there is no denial in this, discipline makes man successful, which unfortunately Sameer lacks. May be she wants Sameer also to go the same way, just her tactics are vile unfortunately. Taiji on the other hand is also not wrong about Naina. But again the approach is not soft as Nanu or Chachaji

Sab kuchh waqti josh-o-kharosh hota hai- is what I believe. Maximum of the passion/aggression is just for time-being. Everything is a phase in life. Right now Samaina are in their youth so they feel whatever they are doing is right. But once this phase is over, person becomes calm and more sorted and knows what he wants from life and people.

Lovely post Minu darling...Specially the point- the escaping of problems by the youth which irks the older ones...

Minu dear agree with you on all points. My mom was a milder version of Taiji. And elders had one line they like saying all the time..."yeh aaj kal ke bacche..." etc..etc... that I guess will never change. 😆 I understand Daadi is strict disciplnarian , etc..etc...I just wish the CVs had written the scenes in a bit more matured manner ..suited for a 70 year old and not an elderly acting like a teenager.

Zulu your line...yes..my mom used to give that lecture all the time...😆

And, yes CVs could have done a better job at snowing Samaina understand the harm they r doing to themselves

Also, chacha Chachi could have done something to help Naina or some more scenes of her with her family could have added to bringing forth what u r trying to say

Very thoughtful post..

I agree and disagree both... Like zulu said, parents most of the time says the same thing... One day u will become a parent... Until then u won't realize... They are right in saying so... They have passed these stages before reaching where they are nw... So they know how young minds work at this age.

About Daadi's approach... I agree strictness to an extent is good... May be she raised somani by being extremely strict and controlling him... She is using the same strategy in raising rohan too as she thinks its the right approach... Bt what she doesn't realize is times have changed... Rohan has been a well behaved and obedient boy till now... Bt he's overpampered and too sheltered... Will he be able to face the outer world with this kind of upbringing?... He doesn't even take a small decision by himself... He's completely dependent on his daadi...

In sameer's case, Daadi's approach would have been right if she was genuine... Sameer isnt trying to adjust either... Saying things like i can pay the bill n all are wrong... Bt daadi all she wants is him to be out... This is where i feel Nanu's approach was much better... Remember once mundit encouraged him to cheat in the exams and nanu overhears it... The way nanu adviced him when alone was just mind blowing... That was the right way and approach... Sam never even in dreams thought of breaking the promise given to nanu... This kind of approach has larger and lasting impact than what daadi or taiji is doing.

Taiji all she wants is to prove her point that she's right in her observations... She never doubts preeti the same way... I always feel its her hatred for rakesh which she's passing on to naina and arjun... Chachaji's approach to naina was something i used to like... Bt these days i feel even that isnt right... Because too much blind trust is being taken advantage of sometimes.. Naina herself had given reasons for taiji to doubt her... She needs serious jolt to come out of this mode... Bt taiji make a big hue and cry out of everything isnt helping either... This kind of approach makes children rebel... What i think is shanti teacher's advice will work on her... Because her approach was kind of similar to nanu.
