Good!

I am glad that you have saved at least tonight's analysis on MS Word. Not the earlier one? A great pity. I always used to do that with all my long posts. But the problem here is that the text does not get posted, and the server problems message keeps popping up.

There seems to be no way of tackling this snag but to keep trying. That is what I did, and suddenly, unexpectedly, it worked.Keep trying for the text you have saved.

In a few days, all these teething troubles will be ironed out.

Dear Piu, and Mihrimah as well,

Dekho, abhi hum aap donon ke saamne kaan pakakdar maafi maangte hain, apni gustakhi ke liye, ki maine RoHa par tippani ki.

Wo maine Mihrimah ke liye likha tha, ek khaas maqsad se, aur usne mujhse kaha bhi tha ki use kucch bura nahin laga (the nose rubbing is a standard form of greeting in many African societies, but that comment needed a winking emoticon that was not available; this is just by the way, but with special apologies to you, Piu).

Jo bhi ho, aayinda aise kabhi nahin hoga, kyonki agar maine yahan aur kucch likha bhi, to RoHa par, ya aap log uske baare mein jo bhi likhenge aur taareef karenge, us par to bilkul nahin hoga, aap itmeenan rakhein. Aap ki khushi mein kabhi khalal nahin dalna chaahoongi, yeh tay raha. Kyonki mein is umar mein kis kis se maafi maangti phiroon?

Ummeed hai ki aap aur Mihrimah ab santrusht ho gaye honge. Meri taraf se aur kucch bhi chahiye to bata deejiyega.

I did not feel that my take on Rocky's love had anything negative about it. I actually thought that it was rather sweet, and I wrote it with real affection for him, for I liked what little I have seen of Rocky. Nor was it meant to be compared or contrasted with the other. This said, if it seems to you to need critiquing, I am afraid I can't help it.

This also goes to show that one's assessment of any given piece of writing is definitely coloured by one's preconceived notions. In this case, that since I like Rohit as an actor, anything I write about his RV and Rocky must automatically favour RV. Again, if such misconceptions prevail, I am sorry but I can't help that either.

That RoHa leaves me cold is no secret, and this is not going to change. But that need not concern anyone else, just as the sharpest possible critiques of RV here don't bother me.

Finally, Piu, I am grateful for your affirming your respect for me. But respect has to be based on understanding, which seems to me to be lacking here. Without understanding, respect remains just a word.

@Shyamala Aunty First of all, I don’t understand how, when and why you should be apologising. As I always believe, it’s a TV show and it’s not the end of the world. I never felt bad about what you wrote ever, my response was equally basic and didn’t have any embittered outpouring of my heart. Bothered, yes, I did because certain parts were uncomfortable and needed clarity. Everyone has an opinion about everything and rightly so. If you hold something, then you have all the right to voice it. Secondly, I reaffirm that whatever I write are not merely words because I don’t write about anything which I don’t feel about. So if I say respect, it holds true. If you think otherwise, then I must say, I failed as a person to probably convey what I meant.

@Shyamala Aunty Respect is a very strong word and you are not only older in years but far more experienced and accomplished than I could ever be at this age. I look up to such people and their body of work. Makes me believe that women are far more capable of what we believe ourselves to be. Makes me proud and happy 😊

Respect doesn’t necessarily mean an obligation to not question each other? I was looking forward to your answers about my questions. However, this seems to go in a very different tangent altogether. My apologies for thinking that I could reply rationally and not be misunderstood. Anyways, life is too short to spill my blood over a TV show. I love RoHa but it’s not the end of the world for me-not so much that I have to define myself over a very well intentioned post.

@African tribe salutations- I had no idea about it. Makes sense now what you wrote. Thank you for adding to my knowledge.

Also, regarding the contrasting love theories, if you read my response again, I clearly said that even you don’t believe that one is better than the other.

Anyway, this is probably my last response to your post as I don’t see a point in giving each other grief over matters as tiny as a TV show. I will read and obviously think about every post you write, though I shall keep quiet from henceforth. And yes, I do wish you well. My mother Shyamali hasn’t been able to walk without limping because of RA for the past 25 years and was bedridden for almost 5 years when I have taken care of her. So, when I say I wish you a speedy recovery, I did mean that too. Goodbye and I mean well!

Regards, Piu

My dear Mihrimah,

Don't fret, kid. Maybe I was foolish - one can be foolish at any.age! - and overreacted, but I am, I hope, rational, and so there must have been a reason for my overreaction.

Anyhow, you are just a child, and I can't be upset with a child, can I ? So don't worry about any of this. If there was the emoticon available, I would put down three hugs in a row for you!

As you would remember, I had wanted to quit this forum some time back, but didn't because of you delightful kids. Now, my dear, I think I have finally had enough. Ananya and Ayesha were wiser than I, and left a while back. It is time I followed suit.

Goodbye, my dear girl. Have as much fun as you can, and take care.

Affectionately,

Shyamala Aunty

PS: If even you want something from me, you can always PM me.

Oh My Dear Aunty!! Ya Khuda I didn't mind. If I did, I would have let you know. Don't apologise. It will only make me feel small. Please don't do it.I didn't understand the African reference. I even replied the same that you can explain it better as I failed to understand. I didn't have that knowledge of that greeting. Now that you explained it I got it.Please do not think you need to apologise or something. In fact accept my heartfelt apologies. I had no intentions to hurt you. I never had. Even in my vanished long reply I wrote down the same thing explaining Rocky's form of love and asking the same African thing. Please do not feel bad. Varna mujhe bahut guilty feel hoga. :(( It's just a show end of the day and I would never intend to hurt anybody for a mere show. Very sorry. :(

My dear Mihrimah,

Poor child. As I said, you should not fret about anything, least of all about.old fogies like me!

Tumhare posts padne aur Like karne ke liye waqt waqt par aa jaaoongi. But not to write anything here any more.

Khush raha kar, bachche!

Shyamala Aunty

PS: A propos the nose rubbing, I forgot the Eskimo "nose kiss", and the traditional Maori (from New Zealand) greeting. I wonder what they would do if they had a bad cold. Sochnewali baat hai, nahin?

Aunty, good to hear from you as it was troubling me. Of course you have the right to be upset with me. However, nothing troubles me more than being misunderstood. I am so relieved to hear back from you can't explain!Khair, agar aap forum chodhna chahti hai for the show, I won't ask you to stay back. In fact I remember how happy I was the day you stayed back for us. You stuck by this far really means a lot. Hosake toh kabhi kabhi ajaya kariye, if not regular. Would really appreciate it.@bold thank you. For your 3 hugs, hugging you right back. :'))

Dear Piu,

I will come to the only important thing in our recent exchanges. I was greatly distressed to learn about the prolonged calvary suffered by your mother and my namesake, especially about her being bedridden for 5 years.

You were blessed that you had the opportunity of looking after her then, and that would surely have comforted her, but what one owes one's mother can never be truly repaid.

I know how this feels at first hand, for I nearly lost my mother to congestive heart failure over 7 years ago. Even after she was pulled back, she needs frequent monitoring, and I have never travelled out of Pune since that crisis. Every check up is like an exam that I have to pass, not she, for she doesn't even acknowledge that anything is wrong with her.

Please convey my warmest regards and very best wishes to your mother, and tell her that I am waiting to see what more RA has in store for me. Everyone wishes me, as you have done so kindly, a speedy recovery, but there is no such thing to hope for. All I hope for is no rapid worsening.

I was in two minds as to whether I should at all say anything more about the posts we have exchanged here, and I have decided to touch on just one point: the need for understanding someone one respects.

Given this understanding, you would have taken it for granted that I would never make malicious fun of anyone, and you would simply have asked: Aunty, what is all this about the African nose rubbing? That long para gave the definite impression that you thought I was ridiculing those who.loved that RoHa scene.

An emoticon there might have helped, but it should not have been necessary for anyone who knew and understood me. Neither there nor when I was joking with Mihrimah that her RoHa fangirling made me feel queasy.

Similarly, an analytical post can be about any segment of a show, based on the facts as shown there. And I don't remember having entered into anything but the two different kinds of love, for which the material I had seen was fully adequate. Nor was there any indication in my post that I was comparing the two, or rating one higher than the other. It was you who assumed that, because you.took it for granted that that was what I would be doing. In your place, I would have asked: Aunty, are you comparing the two?

So it all ended up not in two simple questions, but in a sort of lecture. Whence my apology, to settle all these grievances. When someone I care for sounds upset about.something I have done, I.apologise, even if I can't see where I have gone wrong. Period.

You don't have to be a silent reader of my posts, though I don't remember your commenting earlier on any of them. As of today, I am leaving this forum.

Adieu, Piu, and God bless.
