Today's episode form the POV of a mother

Hi all, to many of you today's episode is not up to the level of YUDKBH. But for me, a mother of a teenager, it is eye opening. It shows how important is to handle an issue in a proper way without getting emotionally burst to make them understand about its consequences. How important it is to keep ur kid engaged. How important is love and care for all members of the family. How important is to make family members feel important at home.

We have seen how Santhi teacher was handing the love letter issue with Naina. She was patiently making her understand the consequences of such a relationship at that age. And at some point Naina felt guilty also. It was only because of the approach that Santhi teacher took she was successful in making Naina understand. Instead of that if she was giving punishments to her then she will become rebel. This we can see in precap as how Sameer is reacting to Somani's punishment.
All of us are wondering why Sameer is supporting all the actions of his so called friends in Delhi. This is where remaining points are coming in picture. He is neither loved nor welcomed in Somani's family. All of them want him to change to fit in their society. None of them gave even a slightest consideration that he is mentally and physically shattered before reaching Delhi. Whereas his mawali friends accepted him as such. They are not actually loving him but gave him a feeling that he is welcomed. There is a proverb in English, an idle man's mind is devil's workshop. This is exactly happening to Sameer. This is also in turn a failure from his parents. They are not paying attention of what is going through his mind when he is idle at home. Even after Sameer requesting them to start his schooling ASAP they failed to understand his issues. On top of that Dadi's and Somani's constant comparison with Rohan. A kid at that age will not be able to take it.
Teenage is such a crucial phase of life in which you are neither adult nor kid both mentally and physically. For certain issues they will act way more matured than their age and at some points you yourself will have doubt whether they are 16 or 6. This is my POV as a mother.

Sameer is in late teens almost entering early adulthood, I agree punishments shouldn't take place for that age. But, I think Somani is reacting like a typical father. A 17 yr old smoking is a big thing back then or now it doesn't matter. Lets see how it ud shown in the episode.

I think most of us agree that in teens people make mistakes. But what most of us are not able to agree with is the way it is being shown is il logical. And USP of our serial is the logical approach it has taken for most of the part until nanu's death.

The person in question is almost 18yrs and most importantly why is he not going to school yet. If he would have got into this company at school it would be logical

Agree that in peer pressure he would give in for smoking or playing cards etc. But Eve teasing for a guy like him is way too much to digest.

When i got to know about this track i was thinking that he would give in to smoking, drinking and playing cards in peer pressure. But eve teasing would be the point where he would give up this bad company. But they showed eve teasing to start with and he is still with these people.

i also echo ur thoughts... i wud have accepted him doing everything but eve teasing

plus also it shows too much of fickle mindedness on part of Sameer...

also like how we cudnt digest the fact that Rakesh was shown spilling coffee on a kid, i also cant digest that he is still keeping friendship with guys who r involved in eve teasing

I am not supporting or justifying Sameer or his actions. But trying to think from the mindset of him.
A boy who spent his entire childhood in hostel. His interaction with any family is only during the vacations. During his stay at Nanu's house also he was more or less alone especially during the beginning days. It is only after his close friendship with Munna and pundit he got someone to share some of his thoughts. But it is his stay at Naina's house that made him realize the joy and sorrow of having so many family members. And while staying there he got used to that fun. So now when he is thrown in Delhi with literally no one to communicate he started feeling that suffocation of being alone. Sameer before Punishment and marriage track may not find it difficult to adjust to loneliness. But once he tasted the sweetness of family bonding he was finding it difficult to live without that. So when u r in such a situation u will try to preserve whatever u r having. His parents and siblings are of no hope for him. And the house is like a solitary confinement. So left with this new found friends. He don't want to lose them. So trying to swallow whatever they r doing even if it is against his ethics and teachings. Because if he lose them then he has to suffer the torture at Somani's mansion.
Now he is like an elastic which is being stretched beyond its threshold and is on the verge of breaking.

That's a wonderful post Seema

Bang on dear... I'm also a mother of 2 boys and I always worry about my boys more than the my girls.

I feel a mother can do so much for a son and the father has to be more involved in the their sons lives at that age.

Boys lose way even if they come from a loving family but Sameer has nothing.

I know most are angry that if Naina is putting her life in order then why not Sameer but you have to remember Sameers world has turned upside down. Naina is only going through the pain of separation from Sameer her family problems is nothing new. Where as Sameer has lost his Nanu, friends, Naina, his home, school and has been put in a place where no one wants him or cares.

Sameer losing his way is actually Vishaka and Somani's failure as a parent but unfortunately they won't see it that way.

Thanks dear. If Sameer is doing like this then it is a failure from his parents only. I always believe that when a baby is born it is like a raw clay. It is in the hands of parents to make it into a brick or a pot or a beautiful statue. My son is 16 and I always encourage him to talk to me all things happening in his life and in today's world we have to be a friend to them more than a parent.

Seems wonderful post...I can see a mothers concern ...I being a mother of teenage boy ...can really relate to the issues of teenagers.
