Pride & Prej with a twist - Page 31

Viveka has already made her mark on Satyen, Inder and Raanav! But none of them have registered in her mind.... lagta hai unhe bahut mehnat karni padegi before she stops to take note of any of them!

Observant, persistent and smooth... thy name is Satyen! 😆

But it makes me wonder, how can he not recognize the snobbery and meanness behind his wife's acerbic remarks? Does he turn a blind eye to it or is he just absent-minded like Veev? 😆

Abhishek is another person who is panning out to have layers.. he may or may not have any fair reason for his resentment towards the Parashars, but at face value, it isn't surprising to me😳

From what I've seen of Raanav and Smrita, any middle class person 'fortunate' enough to be in their acquaintance could be put off by them! Most people aren't blessed with Viveka's disposition..

Anu and Aakash's feelings find more ground in this case 😛

I am hoping to write about how what we think is the truth is often not it is, and we are all multi layered and complex individuals capable of kindness AND meanness and MISTRUST... at varying points in life

@Barrister

About Satyen, I have noticed about couples like this, the spouse that is arrogant and nasty is not usually "repaired or fixed" by the "nice" one.

The good natured one usually acts like

"It is what it is, she is who she is, or he is who he is.... MY core nature is different. I am going to treat people the way I feel is natural to me. I am not in love with her because she is a snotty b---ch we love each other because of many other things"

I have seen that in many couples

Only in movies I have seen the "bad" person does a 180 degree turn and becomes an angel, and everyone gets along with everyone and becomes best friends with everyone. Never in real life.

@Barrister

Yes, another great observation. Viveka is not a mahaan person. She saw how her sister got burned, she is also 29, regular hot blooded healthy individual with raging hormones. She very well could slip or could have slipped

There is no award for the "best" child. the parents are relieved if there is less drama, yes... but they dont declare it out in the open

Also, the sisters get along great. They are not mean and catty to each other, sure, there are flashes of insecurity and envy but no overdramatic resentment or spitefulness

@Nisha

I agree on all counts..

No one's black or white. No one is above making a mistake. And yes, we do judge people at face value..

Absolutism of any kind is hard, bland and unreal

As for Satyen and Smrita, I agree spouses can't be and shouldn't be one's shrink or moral compass. And yes, a 180 degree turnaround is unreal..

But I feel, it's easier to be unaffected when these things don't interfere with their personal lives. If it hits too close to home, they would be pushed to take a stand one day or the other!

Actually, I just went on to imagine how a face off between Veev and Smrita would be.. someday when they won't be able to escape each other!

A little ahead of our time, I know 😳

She had met this family too, multiple times, and had very passionate, healthy arguments with their son

Well she skewers me each time she meets me, so no

Their opinion on their encounters made me go🤣

Reminds me of these lines from Locha-e-Ulfat song..

Mujhe pyaar laga jo, tujhe laga bhai-chara

Armaan toh jaage, main magar so gaya 🤣

Tenure and work place loyalty in combo are great indicators as to how happy a person with his job. It says a couple of things. Abhishek's dad is committed, loyal , may be a workaholic , has put 80 hrs weeks when required . He even says he can be back in a week when his boss actually offers him two.

Loyalty is not bikhao... it's not on sale. Loyalty is built brick by brick over years of good will developed both ways. Satyen Parashar more often than not shows his gratitude for that kind of loyalty and commitment .

Pleej, if I may be allowed to add my two cents😆As a couple , one spouse might on a few days even feel that he or she is doing a favor by living with the pest they are married to. Satyen and smrita are not exempt from having such feelings .

On a few days I as a wife am 1000 percent certain that I am doing a huge favor that will straight get me access to heaven because of putting up with my husband. Like wise I'm 2000 percent certain he must be thinking that he should get a NOBLE PEACE PRIZE AWARD for tolerating me day in day out🤣

On other days we try to be angels. 🤣

We have to sometimes try to get our spouses to do things the right way when we see them doing it the wrong way. It doesn't always work, so you learn to pick your battles.

II was a tigress always fighting real and perceived prejudices wanting to win every argument. Viveka is completely chill.

She knows what is important to HER, she also knows it will NEVER be as important to other people. she doesnt club people on the head to convince them, poverty is a real issue.

Tumhe believe nahi karna hai, its fine. I will do my best to impact meaningful change.

Yes, Raanav and Viveka will never be equal. It will be amusing to watch him defend her in front of his mother (whether she asked for it or not😆). He is going to be so giddy when she returns his attraction
